Deteronòm 1
1 Sa yo se pawòl a Moïse ke li te pale a tout pèp Israël la lòtbò Jourdain an, nan dezè a, nan Arabah, anfas Suph, antre Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hatséroth, ak Di-Zahab.
These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 Se te yon vwayaj onz jou soti nan Horeb pa chemen a Mòn Séir pou rive nan Kadès-Barnéa.
( There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh–barnea.)
3 Nan katriyèm ane a, nan premye jou nan onzyèm mwa a, Moïse te pale avèk fis Israël yo selon tout sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li anvè yo,
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that Yhwh had given him in commandment unto them;
4 lè li te fin bat Sihon, wa Amoreyen ki te rete Hesbon an, ak Og, wa Basan an, ki te rete Aschtaroth avèk Édréï.
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5 Anfas Jourdain an, nan peyi Moab la, Moïse te kòmanse fè eksplikasyon sou lwa sa a. Li te di:
On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 “SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te pale avèk nou isit la nan Horeb, e Li te di: ‘Nou gen tan rete la a nan mòn sa pou ase de tan.
Yhwh our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7 Vire kòmanse vwayaj nou an pou ale nan peyi mòn ki pou Amoreyen yo e vè tout kote nan Arabah yo nan peyi mòn yo, nan teren ba yo, nan Negev la, nan lanmè a, peyi a Canaran yo ak nan Liban jis rive nan gran rivyè Lefrat la.
Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Nou wè, Mwen te mete tout peyi a devan nou. Ale ladann pou posede peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante pou bay a zansèt nou yo—a Abraham, Isaac, e a Jacob—a yo menm ak desandan ki apre yo.’”
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which Yhwh sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9 “Mwen te pale avèk nounan tan sa a pou te di nou, ‘Mwen sèl p ap kapab pote fado nou pou kont mwen.
And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou vin anpil, e gade byen, jodi a nou vin anpil tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
Yhwh your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, kapab fè nou vin miltipliye yon mil fwa anplis ke nou ye a, e beni nou jis jan ke li te pwomèt nou an.
( Yhwh God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
12 Kijan mwen sèl mwen, ta kapab sipòte fado a nou menm avèk tout zen nou konn fè yo?
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Chwazi moun ki saj, ki gen disènman avèk eksperyans nan pwòp tribi nou yo e mwen vaapwente yo kòm chèf nou.’
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 “Nou te reponn mwen e te di: ‘Bagay ke ou di a, bon.’
And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
15 “Konsa, mwen te pran chèf an tèt tribi nou yo, moun saj avèk eksperyans, e mwen te apwente yo kòm chèf sou nou, dirijan a dè milye, a dè santèn, a dè senkantèn, a dè dizèn ak ofisye pou tribi nou yo.
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
16 Mwen te pase lòd ak jij nou yo nan tan sa a. Mwen te di, ‘Tande ka ki parèt antre nou menm avèk moun peyi parèy nou yo, e jije avèk ladwati antre yon nonm avèk moun peyi parèy a li, oswa etranje ki pami nou an.
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Nou pa pou gen moun pa nan jijman an; nou va tande moun gwo pwa avèk moun ki manke pwa egal menm jan. Nou pa pou pè moun, paske jijman an se pou Bondye. Ka ki twò difisil pou nou an, nou va pote li ban mwen, e mwen va tande l.’
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
18 Mwen te kòmande nou nan tan sa a, tout bagay ke nou te gen pou fè.
And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19 “Konsa, nou te pati Horeb pou te pase nan tout gran dezè tèrib sila a ke nou te wè nan wout la pou rive nan peyi mòn a Amoreyen yo, jis jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou an; epi nou te vini Kadès Barnéa.
And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as Yhwh our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh–barnea.
20 Mwen te di nou: ‘Nou gen tan vini nan peyi mòn a Amoreyen yo ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, prèt pou bannou an.
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which Yhwh our God doth give unto us.
21 Nou wè, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mete peyi a devan nou. Monte ladann, posede li, jan SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo, te pale nou an. Pa pè, ni dekouraje.’”
Behold, Yhwh thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as Yhwh God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 “Konsa, nou tout te vin kote m e te di: ‘Annou voye moun devan nou pou yo kapab fè ankèt peyi a pou nou, pou retounen bannou yon pawòl konsènan chemen nou ta dwe monte a ak vil ke nou va antre yo.’
And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23 “Sa te fè m plezi. Mwen te pran douz mesye pami nou, yon mesye pou chak tribi.
And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24 Yo te vire pou te monte nan peyi mòn nan, e yo te rive nan vale Eschcol la pou espyone ladann.
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 Epi yo te pran kèk nan fwi peyi a nan men yo pou te pote li bannou. Yo te mennen bannou yon rapò. Yo te di: ‘Se yon bon peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, prèt pou bannou an.’”
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which Yhwh our God doth give us.
26 “Men nou pa t vle monte. Nou te fè rebèl kont kòmand a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh your God:
27 Nou te plenyen nan tant nou yo e te di: ‘Akoz SENYÈ a rayi nou, Li te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la pou livre nou nan men Amoreyen yo pou detwi nou.
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, because Yhwh hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Kibò nou kab monte?’ Frè nou yo te fè kè nou fann. Yo te di: ‘Pèp la pi gran e piwo pase nou! Vil yo gran e fòtifye jis rive nan syèl la!’ Anplis, nou te wè fis a Anak yo la!”
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
29 “Konsa, mwen te di nou: ‘Pa etone, ni pa pè yo.
Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30 SENYÈ a, li menm, ki ale devan nou an, va, Li menm, goumen pou nou, jis jan ke Li te fè pou nou an Égypte la devan zye nou,
Yhwh your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 epi nan dezè a kote nou te wè kijan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te pote nou, jis jan ke yon nonm ta pote fis li, nan tout chemen kote nou te mache jis nou vin rive kote sa a.’”
And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that Yhwh thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
32 “Men malgre tout sa, nou pa t mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,
Yet in this thing ye did not believe Yhwh your God,
33 ki te ale devan nou nan chemen an pou chèche yon kote pou nou fè kan, kòm dife nan aswè ak nwaj nan lajounen pou montre nou nan ki chemen nou dwe ale.
Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
34 “Epi SENYÈ a te tande son pawòl nou yo. Li te fache. Li te sèmante e te di:
And Yhwh heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
35 ‘Nanpwen youn nan mesye sa yo, jenerasyon mechan sila a, ki va wè bon peyi ke mwen te sèmante pou bay a zansèt nou yo.
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
36 Sof ke Caleb, fis a Jephunné a. Li va wè li. A li menm avèk fis li yo Mwen va bay peyi kote li te mete pye li akoz li te swiv SENYÈ a nèt.’
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed Yhwh.
37 “Anplis, SENYÈ a te fache avèk mwen osi akoz nou menm. Li te di: ‘Ni ou menm tou, ou p ap antre la.
Also Yhwh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
38 Josué, fis a Nun nan, ki kanpe la devan nou an, li va antre la. Ankouraje li, paske li va fè Israël jwenn eritaj li a.
But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 “‘Anplis, pitit nou ke nou te di ta devni yon piyaj la, ak fis nou ki nan jou sa a pa t gen konesans a ni sa ki bon ak sa ki mal, va antre la. Mwen va bay yo li, e yo va posede li.
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 Men pou nou menm, vire pa dèyè, e fè wout nou pou dezè a pa Lamè Wouj.’
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41 “Konsa, nou te di mwen: ‘Nou te peche kont SENYÈ a; anverite, nou va monte pou fè lagè, jis jan ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te kòmande nou an.’ Epi tout gason nan nou te mete zam sou yo. Yo te kalkile ke li te fasil pou monte nan peyi mòn nan.”
Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against Yhwh, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yhwh our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
42 “Men SENYÈ a te di mwen: ‘Di yo: “Pa monte, ni goumen, paske Mwen pa pami nou. Otreman, nou va vin bat devan lènmi nou yo.”’
And Yhwh said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 “Konsa, mwen te pale avèk nou, men nou pa t koute mwen. Olye de sa, nou te fè rebèl kont kòmand SENYÈ a. Nou te aji avèk awogans e nou te monte nan peyi mòn lan.
So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of Yhwh, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
44 Amoreyen ki te rete nan peyi mòn sa yo te parèt kont nou. Yo te chase nou tankou myèl ta fè e yo te kraze nou soti nan Séir jis rive nan Horma.
And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45 Konsa, nou te retounen pou te kriye fò devan SENYÈ a; men SENYÈ a pa t koute vwa nou, ni bannou zòrèy Li.
And ye returned and wept before Yhwh; But Yhwh would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 Pou sa, nou te rete Kadès pandan anpil jou, jou sa yo ke nou te pase la a.”
So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
