Deuteronomy 7
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before thee, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
“Lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, mennen nou vini nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a, e chase devan nou anpil lòt nasyon, Etyen yo, Gigachyen yo, Amoreyen yo, avèk Kanaaneyen yo, Perezit yo, Evyen yo, ak Jebizyen yo, sèt nasyon ki pi gran e ki pi pwisan ke nou yo;
2 and when the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and thou shalt smite them; then thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
epi lè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, delivre yo devan nou e nou fin bat yo, alò, nou va detwi yo nèt. Nou p ap fè okenn akò avèk yo e nou p ap montre yo okenn favè.
3 neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
Anplis, nou p ap marye avèk yo. Nou pa pou bay fi nou yo bay fis pa yo, ni nou p ap pran fi pa yo pou fis nou yo.
4 For he will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and he will destroy thee quickly.
Paske yo va detounen fis nou yo lwen de sèvi Mwen, pou sèvi lòt dye yo. Konsa, kòlè SENYÈ a va limen kont nou, e Li va detwi nou byen vit.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.
Men se konsa nou va fè yo: nou va chire lotèl yo, kraze pilye sakre yo, koupe an mòso tout poto Ashera yo, e brile imaj taye yo avèk dife.
6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
Paske nou se yon pèp ki sen a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te chwazi nou kòm yon pèp ki pou pwòp posesyon pa li pami tout pèp ki sou fas latè yo.
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all peoples:
“SENYÈ a pa t plase lanmou Li sou nou ni chwazi nou akoz ke nou te plis an kantite ke tout lòt pèp yo, paske nou te pi piti pase tout pèp yo,
8 but because the LORD loveth you, and because he would keep the oath which he sware unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
men akoz SENYÈ a te renmen nou e te kenbe sèman ke Li te fè a zansèt nou yo, SENYÈ a te mennen nou sòti pa yon men pwisan, e te peye ranson nou soti nan kay esklavaj la, soti nan men Farawon, wa Égypte la.
9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God; the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
“Konsa, konnen ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, se Li ki Dye a, Bondye ki fidèl la, ki kenbe akò Li ak lanmou dous Li pou jis rive nan mil jenerasyon avèk sila ki renmen Li yo e ki kenbe kòmandman Li yo,
10 and repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
men ki rekonpanse sila ki rayi Li yo devan figi yo, pou detwi yo. Li p ap fè reta avèk sila ki rayi Li a. Li va rekonpanse li devan figi li.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
“Pou sa, nou va kenbe kòmandman yo, lwa avèk jijman ke Mwen ap kòmande nou yo jodi a, pou nou fè.
12 And it shall come to pass, because ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep with thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
“Epi li va vin rive ke akoz nou te koute jijman sa yo, nou te kenbe e te fè yo, ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, va kenbe nou avèk akò Li ak lanmou dous ke Li te sèmante vè zansèt nou yo.
13 and he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy body and the fruit of thy ground, thy corn and thy wine and thine oil, the increase of thy kine and the young of thy flock, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
Li va renmen nou, beni nou, e fè nou vin miltipliye. Li va, osi, beni fwi a vant nou, fwi a tè nou, e diven nèf ak lwil nou, kwasans a twoupo nou, avèk jenn bann mouton nou, nan peyi ke Li te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bannou.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Nou va beni plis ke tout pèp. P ap gen ni mal, ni femèl k ap esteril pami nou ni pami bèt nou yo.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee, but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
“Senyè a va retire pami nou tout maladi; epi Li pa p mete sou nou okenn nan move maladi Égypte ke nou te konnen yo, men Li va mete yo sou tout sila ki rayi nou yo.
16 And thou shalt consume all the peoples which the LORD thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall not pity them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
Nou va devore tout pèp ke SENYÈ Bondye nou an, va livre bannou. Zye nou p ap bay yo pitye, ni nou p ap sèvi dye pa yo, paske sa ta yon pèlen pou nou.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
“Si nou ta di nan kè nou: ‘Nasyon sa yo pi gran ke nou; kijan mwen kapab chase yo?’
18 thou shalt not be afraid of them: thou shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
nou pa pou pè yo. Nou va byen sonje sa ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te fè Farawon ak tout Égypte:
19 the great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the peoples of whom thou art afraid.
Nou te wè avèk zye nou gwo eprèv, sign avèk mèvèy, men pwisan avèk bwa lonje pa sila ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te mennen nou sòti. Konsa, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va fè ak tout pèp ke nou konn pè yo.
20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves, perish from before thee.
“Anplis, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va voye gèp kont yo, jiskaske tout sila ki te rete kache yo vin mouri.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a great God and a terrible.
Nou pa pou pè yo, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, nan mitan nou, yon gran Bondye ki mèvèye.
22 And the LORD thy God will cast out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
“SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va netwaye retire nasyon sa yo devan nou mòso pa mòso. Nou p ap kab fini avèk yo vit yon sèl kou, paske bèt sovaj yo ta vin peple twòp pou nou.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them up before thee, and shall discomfit them with a great discomfiture, until they be destroyed.
Men SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va livre yo devan nou, e Li va jete yo nan gran konfizyon jiskaske yo vin detwi.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt make their name to perish from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
Li va livre wa yo nan men nou pou nou fè non yo peri anba syèl la. Nanpwen yon moun ki kab kanpe devan nou jiskaske nou fin detwi yo nèt.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God:
“Imaj a dye pa yo, nou va brile yo avèk dife. Nou p ap anvi ni ajan ni lò ki sou yo, ni pran yo pou nou menm, sinon, sa va devni yon pèlen pou nou; paske se yon abominasyon a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
26 and thou shalt not bring an abomination into thine house, and become a devoted thing like unto it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
Nou p ap fè antre yon abominasyon konsa lakay nou, oswa tankou li, nou va vin anba madichon. Rayi li nèt e deteste li, paske li se yon bagay ki anba madichon.”
