Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
“Pou sa, nou va renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e nou va toujou kenbe lòd Li, lwa Li yo, ak règleman Li yo, avèk kòmandman Li yo.
2 And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
Byen konnen nan jou sa a, ke Mwen p ap pale avèk fis nou yo ki potko konnen e ki potko wè chatiman SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, —grandè Li, men pwisans Li ak bra lonje Li a,
3 and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
epi sign Li yo avèk zèv Li yo ke Li te fè nan mitan Égypte a Farawon an, wa Égypte la, e a tout peyi li a;
4 and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;
ak sa Li te fè a lame Égypte la, a cheval li yo avèk cha li yo, lè Li te fè dlo Lamè Wouj la kouvri yo pandan yo t ap kouri dèyè nou, e SENYÈ a te detwi yo nèt, jiska jou sa a;
5 and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place;
epi sa Li te fè a nou menm nan dezè a jiskaske nou te rive nan kote sa a;
6 and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:
epi sa Li te fè aDathan avèk Abiram, fis a Éliab yo, fis a Ruben, lè tè a te ouvri bouch li, pou te vale yo, tout moun lakay yo, tant yo, ak tout bagay vivan nan tout Israël ki te swiv yo——
7 but your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which he did.
konsa, se pwòp zye pa nou ki te wè tout gran zèv ke SENYÈ a te fè yo.
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go over to possess it;
“Pou sa, nou va kenbe tout kòmandman ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou nou kapab gen fòs pou antre e posede peyi a nan sila nou prèt pou travèse pran an;
9 and that ye may prolong your days upon the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
jis pou jou nou yo kapab vin pi plis nan peyi ke SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou ba yo ak desandan pa yo, yon peyi ki koule avèk lèt ak siwo myèl.
10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
Paske peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a, se pa tankou peyi Égypte la, kote nou sòti a, kote nou te konn plante semans nou e wouze li avèk pye nou tankou yon jaden legim.
11 but the land, whither ye go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, [and] drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
Men peyi kote nou prèt pou travèse pran an, yon peyi avèk ti mòn ak vale, k ap bwè dlo ki sòti nan lapli syèl la,
12 a land which the LORD thy God careth for; the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
yon peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, renmen anpil. Zye a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, toujou sou li, soti nan kòmansman jis rive nan fen ane a.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
“Li va vin rive ke si nou koute avèk obeyisans a kòmandman mwen yo, ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou nou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e sèvi Li avèk tout kè nou e avèk tout nanm nou,
14 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
ke Mwen va bay lapli pou peyi nou nan sezon li, lapli premye sezon ak lapli dènye sezon, pou nou kapab fè antre sereyal avèk diven nèf, avèk lwil.
15 And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be full.
Mwen va bannou zèb nan chan nou yo pou bèt nou yo, e nou va manje e va satisfè.
16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
“Veye nou pou kè nou pa vin sedwi; pou nou pa vire akote pou sèvi lòt dye yo e adore yo.
17 and the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
Sinon, lakòlè SENYÈ a va limen kont nou, epi Li va fèmen syèl yo pou pa gen lapli, e tè a p ap donnen fwi li. Konsa, nou va peri vit soti nan bon peyi ke SENYÈ a ap bannou an.
18 Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
Pou sa, nou va tache pawòl sa yo sou kè nou ak sou nanm nou. Nou va mare yo tankou yon sign sou men nou e yo va tankou très cheve nan fwon nou.
19 And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Nou va enstwi yo a fis nou yo nan pale sou yo lè nou chita lakay nou, lè nou mache akote wout la, e lè nou kouche ak lè nou leve.
20 And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
Nou va ekri yo nan poto chanbrann lakay nou ak sou pòtay nou yo,
21 that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.
jis pou jou nou yo avèk jou a fis nou yo kapab vin miltipliye nan peyi kote SENYÈ a te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bay yo, toutotan syèl yo ap rete sou tè a.
22 For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it; to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
“Paske si nou fè atansyon pou kenbe tout kòmandman sa yo ke mwen ap kòmande nou pou fè yo, pou renmen SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan tout chemen Li yo e kenbe fèm a Li,
23 then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
alò, SENYÈ a va chase tout nasyon yo soti devan nou; epi nou va deplase nasyon ki pi gran e ki pi pwisan ke nou yo.
24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border.
Nenpòt kote ke pye nou pile va vin pou nou; lizyè nou va soti nan dezè a pou jis rive Liban, soti nan rivyè a, Rivyè Lefrat la, pou jis rive nan lanmè lwès la.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you: the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.
P ap gen pèsòn ki kapab kanpe devan nou. SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va mete gwo panik de nou ak laperèz nou sou tout peyi kote nou foule pye nou yo, jan Li te deja pale nou an.
26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
“Gade, mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a yon benediksyon avèk yon malediksyon;
27 the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
Benediksyon an si nou koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a;
28 and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
epi malediksyon an si nou pa koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, men vire akote chemen ke mwen ap kòmande nou jodi a, pou swiv lòt dye ke nou pa t konnen yo.
29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
“Li va rive, ke lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mennen nou nan peyi kote n ap antre posede a, ke nou va plase benediksyon an nan mòn Garizim nan e malediksyon an nan mòn Ebal la.
30 Are they not beyond Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites which dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
Èske yo pa anfas Jourdain an, vè lwès, vè solèy kouche a, nan peyi Kanaaneyen ki rete Araba yo, anfas Guilgal, akote chenn Moré yo.
31 For ye are to pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.
Paske nou prèt pou travèse Jourdain an pou antre posede peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ap bannou an, e nou va posede li pou viv ladann.
32 And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and the judgments which I set before you this day.
Nou va fè atansyon pou fè tout sa lalwa avèk jijman ke mwen ap mete devan nou jodi a.
