Levitik 26

1 “Nou pa pou fè pou nou menm zidòl, ni nou pa pou mete an plas pou nou menm yon imaj, oswa yon pilye sakre. Ni nou pa pou plase yon wòch taye nan okenn fòm pou bese devan li; paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.

Ye shall not make unto you idols, —neither image nor pillar, shall ye set up for yourselves, nor sculptured stone, shall ye place in your land, to bow yourselves down thereunto, -For, I Yahweh, am your God.

2 “Nou va kenbe Saba Mwen yo, e nou va onore sanktyè Mwen an. Mwen se SENYÈ a.

My sabbaths, shall ye observe, And, my sanctuary, shall ye revere, —I, am Yahweh.

3 “Si nou mache nan règleman Mwen yo, e kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo pou fè yo,

If, in my statutes, ye will walk, —And my commandments, ye will observe, and do them,

4 konsa Mwen va bannou lapli yo nan sezon pa yo, pou peyi a donnen pwodwi li yo, e bwa nan chan yo va bay fwi yo.

Then will I give your rains in their season, —And the land shall yield her increase, And, the trees of the field, shall yield their fruit.

5 Anverite, bat grenn chan nou va dire jis tan pou ranmase rezen yo, e ranmase rezen yo va dire jis rive nan tan semans lan. Nou va konsa manje manje nou vant plen nèt, e viv ansekirite nan peyi nou.

Then shall your threshing reach unto the vintage, And, the vintage, shall reach unto the seedtime, —And ye shall eat your food to the full, And shall dwell securely in your land.

6 “Mwen va osi bay lapè nan peyi a, pou nou kapab kouche san okenn moun pa fè nou tranble. Osi mwen va retire bèt sovaj nan peyi a, e okenn nepe p ap pase nan peyi nou.

And I will give peace in the land, And ye shall lie down, and nothing shall make you afraid; And I will take away vicious beasts out of the land; And, the sword, shall not go through your land.

7 Men nou va kouri dèyè lènmi nou yo, e yo va tonbe devan nou pa nepe.

And ye shall chase your foes, —And they shall fall before you by the sword;

8 Senk nan nou va chase yon santèn, san nan nou va chase di-mil, e lènmi nou yo va tonbe devan nou pa nepe.

And, five, of you shall chase, a hundred, And, a hundred, of you shall put ten thousand to flight, —So shall your foes fall before you, by the sword.

9 “Konsa, Mwen va vire vè nou pou fè nou donnen anpil fwi. Mwen va miltipliye nou, e Mwen va asire akò Mwen avèk nou.

And I will turn unto you, And make you fruitful, —And multiply you, And will establish my covenant with you.

10 Nou va manje nan ansyen depo a, e nou va netwaye ansyen an akoz nèf la.

And ye shall eat old store well seasoned, —And the old from before the new, shall ye put forth.

11 Anplis, Mwen va fè domisil Mwen pami nou, e nanm Mwen p ap rejte nou.

And I will set my habitation in your midst, —And my soul shall not abhor you;

12 Mwen va osi mache pami nou, Mwen va Bondye nou, e nou va pèp Mwen.

But I will walk to and fro in your midst, And will be unto you a God, And, ye, shall be unto me a people.

13 Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti nan peyi Égypte la pou nou pa t esklav pa yo. Mwen te kase fè esklavaj nou an, e Mwen te fè nou mache kanpe dwat.

I—Yahweh, am your God who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; so I brake in pieces the staves of your yoke, and caused you to walk, erect.

14 “Men si nou pa obeyi Mwen e pa akonpli tout kòmandman sa yo,

But, if ye will not hearken unto me, And will not do all these commandments;

15 si, okontrè, nou rejte règleman Mwen yo, si nanm nou rayi òdonans sa yo pou li pa vin akonpli tout kòmandman Mwen yo, e kraze akò Mwen yo,

And if, my statutes, ye refuse, And, my regulations, your souls shall abhor, —So that ye will not do all my commandments, But shall break my covenant

16 anretou, men kisa Mwen va fè nou: Mwen va apwente sou nou sibitman yon gwo twoub, yon maladi epwizan avèk lafyèv ki va gate zye nou, e fè nanm nan chagren. Konsa, nou va simen grenn nou yo san reyisi, paske se lènmi nou yo ki va manje li.

I also, will do this unto you—I will set over you, for terror, consumption and fever, Causing the eyes to fail and the soul to pine away, —And ye shall sow, in vain, your seed, for it shall be eaten by your foes.

17 Mwen va mete figi Mwen kont nou jiskaske nou vin frape devan lènmi nou yo. Sila ki rayi nou yo va domine sou nou, e nou va kouri sove ale menm lè pa gen moun k ap kouri dèyè nou.

And I will set my face against you, And ye shall be smitten before your foes, -And be trodden down by them who hate you, And shall flee when no one is pursuing you.

18 “Si menm apre bagay sa yo, nou pa vin obeyi Mwen, alò Mwen va pini nou sèt fwa anplis pou peche nou yo.

And, if even with these things, ye will not hearken unto me, Then will I yet further correct you seven times, for your sins.

19 Mwen va anplis, kase awogans pouvwa nou. Mwen va fè syèl la tankou fè, e tè a tankou bwonz.

So will I break your pomp of power, And will set your heavens as iron, and your land as bronze;

20 Fòs ou va depanse san valè; latè ou p ap pwodwi, ni pyebwa yo p ap donnen fwi.

And your strength shall be spent in vain, —And your land shall not yield her increase, And the trees of the land, shall not yield their fruit.

21 ‘Si konsa, ou aji ak ostilite kont Mwen, e refize obeyi M, Mwen va ogmante gwo maladi ak dezas yo sèt fwa, selon peche nou yo.

If therefore, ye will go in opposition to me, And not be willing to hearken unto me, Then will I yet further plague you seven times according to your sins;

22 “Mwen va lage pami nou bèt sovaj chan yo ki va rache pitit nou yo nan men nou, detwi bèt nou yo e redwi fòs kantite moun nou jis pou wout nou yo rete abandone.

And will send among you the wild-beast of the field And it shall rob you of your children, And cut off your cattle, And make you few in number; And your roads shall be silent.

23 “Epi si, nan tout bagay sa yo nou pa vire bò kote M, men aji avèk ostilite kont Mwen,

And, if, by these things, ye will not be corrected by me, —But will go in opposition to me,

24 alò, Mwen va aji avèk ostilite kont nou. Mwen, Mwen menm, Mwen va frape nou sèt fwa pou peche nou yo.

Then will, I also, go in opposition to you. And, I, even I, will plague you seven times for your sins;

25 Osi, Mwen va mennen sou nou yon nepe ki va egzekite vanjans pou akò a. Lè nou reyini ansanm nan vil nou yo, Mwen va voye epidemi sou nou, pou nou vin livre nan men lènmi nou yo.

And will bring in upon you a sword that shall inflict the covenanted avenging: So shall ye be gathered into your cities, —Then will I send a pestilence into your midst, And ye shall be delivered into the hand of an enemy.

26 Lè Mwen kase pen pami nou, dis fanm va kwit pen nou nan yon sèl fou, e yo va mennen retounen pen nou nan pati ki mezire nan balans lan, pou nou manje, men pa pou nou satisfè.

When I have broken your staff of bread, then shall ten women bake your bread in one oven, And give back your bread by weight, —And ye shall eat and not be filled.

27 “Men si, malgre tout sa, nou pa obeyi Mwen, men aji avèk ostilite kont Mwen,

And, if, with this, ye will not hearken to me, —But will go in opposition to me,

28 alò, Mwen va aji avèk ostilite ak vanjans kont nou. Mwen va pini nou sèt fwa pou peche nou yo.

Then will I go in a rage of opposition to you, —And I, even I, will correct you seven times for your sins;

29 Anplis nou va manje chè a fis nou yo e chè a fi nou yo, n ap manje.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, —Yea, even the flesh of your daughters, shall ye eat.

30 Mwen va detwi wo plas yo, koupe lotèl lansan yo, e fè gwo pil ak retay kò nou sou retay zidòl nou, paske nanm Mwen va rayi nou.

And I will destroy your high places And cut down your sun-pillars, And cast your carcases upon the carcases of your manufactured gods, —Thus shall my soul abhor you.

31 Anplis, Mwen va kraze vil nou yo; Mwen va fè sanktyè nou yo vin dezè, e Mwen p ap dakò santi sant dous nou yo.

And I will give your cities unto desolation, And make your holy places dumb, —And will find no fragrance in your satisfying odour;

32 Mwen va fè peyi a dezole jiskaske lènmi nou ki vin viv ladan yo a va chagrin sou sa.

And, I, will make the land dumb, And your foes that dwell therein shall regard it with dumb amazement:

33 Men nou, Mwen va gaye nou pami nasyon yo, e Mwen va rale yon nepe parèt dèyè nou, pandan peyi nou an vin dezè e vil nou yo vin kraze.

When, even you, I scatter among the nations, And make bare after you, a sword, Then shall your land become an astonishment, And your cities become a desolation.

34 Epi tè a va rejwi nan Saba li yo pandan tout jou dezolasyon li yo, pandan nou nan peyi lènmi nou yo. Konsa, tè a va repoze e rejwi nan Saba li yo.

Then, shall the land be paid her sabbaths, All the days she lieth desolate, While, ye, are in the land of your foes, —Then, shall the land keep sabbath, And pay off her sabbaths:

35 Tout jou a dezolasyon yo, li va obsève repo ke li pa t obsève nan Saba nou yo pandan nou t ap viv ladann nan.

All the days she lieth desolate, shall she keep sabbath, —the which she kept not as your sabbaths, —while ye dwelt thereupon.

36 “Pou sila nan nou ki kab toujou rete la yo, Mwen va osi pote feblès nan kè yo pandan yo nan peyi lènmi yo. Konsa, bwi a yon fèy k ap kouri nan van va fè kè yo sote, e menmlè pèsòn pa kouri dèyè yo, yo va sove ale tankou se devan nepe, e yo va tonbe.

And as for such as are left of you, Then will I bring faintness into their heart, in the lands of their foes, —So that the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, And they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword And they shall fall, when no one is pursuing;

37 Se konsa yo va manke tonbe youn sou lòt, kòmsi yo t ap kouri kite nepe, malgre pèsòn pa dèyè yo. Nou p ap gen fòs pou kanpe devan lènmi nou yo.

And they shall stumble one upon another as from before a sword, when, pursuer there is none; And ye shall not have wherewith to stand before your foes;

38 Men nou va peri pami nasyon yo, e peyi lènmi nou yo va manje nou.

And ye shall perish among the nations, —And the land of your foes shall eat you up;

39 Epi sila ki lese dèyè yo va pouri gate akoz inikite pa yo nan peyi a lènmi pa nou an; epi osi, akoz inikite zansèt pa yo, ak enfidelite ke yo te komèt nan peyi lènmi nou yo; anplis, akoz inikite a papa zansèt pa yo, yo va vin pouri ansanm avèk yo.

And they who are left of you, shall melt away in their iniquity, in the lands of your foes; Yea also, in the iniquity of their fathers with them, shall they melt away.

40 “Si yo konfese inikite pa yo, ak inikite zansèt yo, nan enfidelite ke yo te komèt kont Mwen yo, ak jan yo aji avèk ostilite kont Mwen an—

Then shall they confess their iniquity, And the iniquity of their fathers, In their unfaithfulness wherewith they had been unfaithful towards me; Yea moreover, because they had gone in opposition to me,

41 Mwen te aji osi avèk ostilite kont yo, pou mennen yo nan peyi lènmi yo—oubyen si kè ensikonsi yo a ta vin imilye pou yo kapab, answit, aksepte pinisyon pou inikite yo a.

I also, must needs go in opposition to them, and bring them into the land of their foes, —Save only that, if, even then, their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, And, even then, they shall accept as a payment the punishment of their iniquity,

42 Nan lè sa a, Mwen va sonje akò Mwen avèk Jacob, Mwen va sonje osi akò Mwen avèk Isaac, ni akò Mwen avèk Abraham, e Mwen va sonje peyi a.

Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob Yea moreover, my covenant with Isaac, Yea moreover, my covenant with Abraham, will I remember; And the land, will I remember.

43 Paske, peyi a va vin abandone pa yo. Konsa, li va rejwen Saba li yo pandan li rete kon dezè san yo menm nan. Antretan, yo menm va vin aksepte pinisyon pa yo paske yo te rejte òdonans Mwen yo, e nanm yo te rayi règleman Mwen yo.

For, the land, shall be left of them, And shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them, They also, accepting, as a payment, the punishment of their iniquity, Because, yea because, my regulations, they refused, And my statutes, their soul abhorred.

44 Men malgre tout sa, lè yo nan peyi lènmi yo, Mwen p ap rejte yo, ni Mwen p ap meprize yo tèlman pou detwi yo e kase akò Mwen avèk yo; paske Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a.

And yet even so when they are in the land of their foes I have not refused them Neither have I abhorred them To make an end of them, To break my covenant with them, —For, I—Yahweh, am their God.

45 Men Mwen va sonje yo pou akò avèk zansèt yo a, ke M te mennen fè yo sòti nan peyi Égypte devan zye a tout nasyon yo, pou Mwen ta kapab vin Bondye pa yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a.”

Therefore will I remember in their behalf the covenant of their ancestors, —Whom, I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God—I—Yahweh.

46 Sa yo se règleman avèk òdonans avèk lwa ke SENYÈ a te etabli antre Li menm ak fis Israël yo pa Moïse nan Mòn Sinai a.

These are the statutes and the regulations and the laws, which Yahweh granted between himself, and the sons of Israel, —in Mount Sinai by the mediation of Moses.
