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 to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 Se te yon vwayaj onz jou soti nan Horeb pa chemen a Mòn Séir pou rive nan Kadès-Barnéa.
It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to 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,
In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that Yahweh had given him in commandment to 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 struck Sihon the king of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
5 Anfas Jourdain an, nan peyi Moab la, Moïse te kòmanse fè eksplikasyon sou lwa sa a. Li te di:
Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began 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.
“Yahweh our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain.
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, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the places near there: in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the lowland, in the South, by the seashore, in the land of the Canaanites, and in Lebanon as far as 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 Yahweh swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—to give to them and to their offspring 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.
I spoke to 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.
Yahweh your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky 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 Yahweh, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are and bless you, as he has 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 problems, your burdens, 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 wise men of understanding who are respected among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.”
14 “Nou te reponn mwen e te di: ‘Bagay ke ou di a, bon.’
You answered me, and said, “The thing which you have 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.
So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and respected men, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds, captains of fifties, captains of tens, and officers, according to 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.
I commanded your judges at that time, saying, “Hear cases between your brothers and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living 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.’
You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”
18 Mwen te kòmande nou nan tan sa a, tout bagay ke nou te gen pou fè.
I commanded you at that time all the things which you 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.
We traveled from Horeb and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as Yahweh 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.
I said to you, “You have come to the hill country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God gives to 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, Yahweh your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as Yahweh the God of your fathers has spoken to you. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.”
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.’
You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let’s send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring back to us word of 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.
The thing pleased me well. I took twelve of your 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.
They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to 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.’”
They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which Yahweh our God gives to us.”
26 “Men nou pa t vle monte. Nou te fè rebèl kont kòmand a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh 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.
You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because Yahweh hated us, he has brought us 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!”
Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’”
29 “Konsa, mwen te di nou: ‘Pa etone, ni pa pè yo.
Then I said to you, “Don’t be terrified. Don’t 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,
Yahweh your God, who goes before you, he will 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 you have seen how that Yahweh your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.”
32 “Men malgre tout sa, nou pa t mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,
Yet in this thing you didn’t believe Yahweh 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 before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in: in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 “Epi SENYÈ a te tande son pawòl nou yo. Li te fache. Li te sèmante e te di:
Yahweh heard the voice of your words and was angry, 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 not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land which I swore to give to 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.’
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him and to his children, because he has wholly followed Yahweh.”
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 Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there.
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 stands before you, shall go in there. 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, whom you said would be captured or killed, your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, shall go in there. I will give it to them, 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, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to 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 you answered and said to me, “We have sinned against Yahweh. We will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God commanded us.” Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.
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.”’
Yahweh said to me, “Tell them, ‘Don’t go up and don’t fight; for I am not among you, lest you be struck 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 spoke to you, and you didn’t listen; but you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.
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.
The Amorites, who lived in that hill country, came out against you and chased you as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to 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.
You returned and wept before Yahweh, but Yahweh didn’t listen to your voice, nor turn his ear to you.
46 Pou sa, nou te rete Kadès pandan anpil jou, jou sa yo ke nou te pase la a.”
So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
