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 are the words which Moses spoke unto all Israel on this side of the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Chazeroth, and Di-zahab.
2 Se te yon vwayaj onz jou soti nan Horeb pa chemen a Mòn Séir pou rive nan Kadès-Barnéa.
It is a journey of eleven days 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 spoke unto the children of Israel, according to all that the Lord had commanded him concerning 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 smitten Sichon the king of the Emorites, who dwelt in Cheshbon, and 'Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt at 'Ashtaroth in Edre'i.
5 Anfas Jourdain an, nan peyi Moab la, Moïse te kòmanse fè eksplikasyon sou lwa sa a. Li te di:
On this side of the Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to explain 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.
The Lord our God spoke unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have tarried long enough at 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 mountain of the Emorites, and unto all its neighboring places, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowlands, and in the southern country, and by the coast of the sea, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto the Lebanon, up to 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 given up the land before you: go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give it 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 said unto you at that time, as followeth, I am not able alone to bear you:
10 SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou vin anpil, e gade byen, jodi a nou vin anpil tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
The Lord 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.
May the Lord the God of your fathers make you a thousand times as many more as ye are; and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you.
12 Kijan mwen sèl mwen, ta kapab sipòte fado a nou menm avèk tout zen nou konn fè yo?
How can I by 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.’
Furnish for yourselves wise and understanding men, and those known among your tribes, and I will place them as chiefs 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 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.
And I took the chiefs of your tribes, wise and known men, and I set them as heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and as officers for 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 commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously, between a man and his brother, and between his stranger.
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; the small as well as the great shall ye hear; ye shall not be afraid of any man; for the judgment belongeth to God: and the cause that is too hard for you shall ye bring 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 we departed from Horeb, and we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye have seen, by the way of the mountain of the Emorites, as the Lord our God had commanded us; and we came as far as 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 Emorites, which the Lord 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, the Lord thy God hath given up the land before thee: go up and take possession of it, as the Lord the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee; do not fear, and be not 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 all came near unto me and said, Let us send out men before us, that they may search out for us the land, and bring us word again concerning the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.
23 “Sa te fè m plezi. Mwen te pran douz mesye pami nou, yon mesye pou chak tribi.
And the thing was pleasing in my eyes; and I took of you twelve men, one man for every 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 spied 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 in their hand some of the fruit of the land, and brought it down unto us; and they brought us word again, and said, The land which the Lord our God doth give us is good.
26 “Men nou pa t vle monte. Nou te fè rebèl kont kòmand a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
But you would not go up, and ye rebelled against the order of the Lord 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, On account of the hatred of the Lord toward us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Emorites, 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 made faint our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover the sons of the 'Anakim have we seen there.
29 “Konsa, mwen te di nou: ‘Pa etone, ni pa pè yo.
And I said unto you, Have no dread, nor be ye 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,
The Lord your God who goeth before you, he it is who will fight for you; all just as 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 which thou hast seen, where the Lord thy God bore thee, as a man doth bear his son, on all the way that ye have gone, until ye came unto this place.
32 “Men malgre tout sa, nou pa t mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,
Yet in this thing do ye not believe in the Lord 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 goeth before you on the way to seek out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to cause you to see on the way in which ye are to 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 the Lord heard the voice of your words; and he was wroth, and swore, 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 have sworn 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 Yephunneh, he shall see it, and to him will I give the land upon which he hath trodden, and to his children; because he hath wholly followed the Lord.
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 with me was the Lord angry for your sakes, saying, also thou 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.
Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: him encourage; 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.
And your little ones, of whom ye said, They will become a prey, and your children who know not this day either good or evil, these 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.”
And ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord; we indeed will go up and we will fight, according to all that the Lord our God hath commanded us; and ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and ye insisted to go up into the mountain.
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 the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, and do not 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.
And I spoke unto you; but ye would not hear; and ye rebelled against the order of the Lord, and you were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
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 Emorites, who dwelt in that mountain: came out against you, and they pursued you, as the bees do, and they overthrew you in Seir, as far as Chormah.
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 the Lord; but the Lord hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
46 Pou sa, nou te rete Kadès pandan anpil jou, jou sa yo ke nou te pase la a.”
And ye tarried in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye tarried there.
