Deteronòm 29
1 Men pawòl ki te nan kontra Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd pase ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, lè yo te nan peyi Moab la. Kontra sa a te vin mete sou kontra li te deja fè ak yo sou Mòn Orèb la.
These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
2 Moyiz fè rele tout pèp Izrayèl la, li di yo konsa: -Nou wè ak je nou tou sa Seyè a te fè wa peyi Lejip la, moun ki t'ap travay ak li yo ak tout peyi a.
Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
3 Nou wè ak je nou tout gwo malè li te voye sou yo, tout mirak ak tout mèvèy li te fè.
the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders:
4 Men, jouk koulye a, Seyè a poko louvri lespri nou ase pou nou konprann byen konprann tou sa nou wè ak tou sa nou tande.
but the LORD has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
5 Pandan karantan, mwen pran men nou, mwen moutre nou chemen pou nou swiv nan dezè a. Rad sou nou pa t' janm chire, sapat nan pye nou pa t' janm fini.
I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your shoes have not worn out on your feet.
6 Nou pa t' gen pen pou nou manje, ni diven, ni ankenn bwason pou nou bwè, men Seyè a te ban nou tou sa nou bezwen pou n' te ka konnen se li menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye nou an.
You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink; that you may know that I am the LORD your God.
7 Rive nou rive isit la, Siyon, wa Esbon an ak Og, wa Bazan an, soti vin atake nou. Nou bat yo byen bat.
When you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we struck them:
8 Nou pran peyi yo a bay moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo, moun branch fanmi Gad yo ansanm ak mwatye nan moun branch fanmi Manase yo pou yo rete.
and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.
9 N'a kenbe kontra sa a. N'a fè tou sa ki di ladan l' pou nou ka reyisi nan tout sa n'ap fè.
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
10 Jòdi a, men nou tout nou reyini la a devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou menm chèf tout branch fanmi nou yo, tout chèf fanmi nou yo ak tout lòt chèf yo, ak tout lòt gason nan pèp Izrayèl la,
You stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,
11 tout pitit nou yo, madanm nou yo, tout moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo, depi sa k'ap koupe bwa jouk sa ki la pou al chache dlo pou nou,
your little ones, your wives, and your foreigner who is in the midst of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water;
12 nou vin pran angajman sou sèman pou nou asepte tout egzijans kontra Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pase ak nou jòdi a.
that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God makes with you this day,
13 Konsa depi jòdi a, se pèp li nou ye, se Bondye pa nou li ye, jan l' te di l' la, jan l' te pwomèt Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo.
so that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may your God, as he spoke to you and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Men, se pa avèk nou menm sèlman l'ap pase kontra li te fè nou sèmante pou n' kenbe a.
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
15 Men se pa sèlman ak nou tout ki la jòdi a devan mwen, men tou se avèk tout pitit nou yo ki poko fèt.
but with him who stands here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day
16 Nou konnen byen pwòp ki kalite lavi nou t'ap mennen nan pèyi Lejip la ak ki jan nou te pase nan mitan moun lòt nasyon nou te kontre sou wout nou.
(for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed;
17 Nou te wè tout vye bagay yo t'ap fè, ak tout zidòl fèt an bwa, osinon ak wòch, osinon an ajan oswa an lò yo te gen lakay yo.
and you have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
18 Piga pesonn nan mitan nou, ni fanm ni gason, nan ankenn fanmi ni branch fanmi pèp la vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou y' al sèvi zidòl moun sa yo. Piga pesonn nan mitan nou tounen yon move grenn k'ap detounen pèp la, k'ap anpwazonnen l'.
lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the LORD our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;
19 Si yon moun, apre li fin tande sa ki di nan kontra a ak tout egzijans ki ladan l' yo, mete nan tèt li se bon li bon, epi li di nan kè l': Koulye a, mwen pa bezwen pè anyen. Mwen gen dwa fè sa m' pi pito, sa ap lakòz nou tout ap mouri, inonsan kou koupab.
and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, "I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry."
20 Bondye p'ap janm padonnen yon moun konsa. Okontre, Bondye, ki yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil pou moun pa li yo, ap fache yon sèl fache sou nonm sa a, tout madichon ki ekri nan liv sa a pral tonbe sou li. Bondye ap fè non l' disparèt nèt sou latè.
God will not be willing to forgive him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy will burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book shall rest on him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under heaven.
21 Seyè a va wete l' nan mitan rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo, l'a pini l' dapre madichon n'a jwenn nan kontra ki ekri nan liv lalwa Seyè a.
The LORD will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
22 Moun k'ap vin apre nou yo, pitit nou yo k'ap fèt apre nou ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap soti byen lwen yo, va wè malè ki tonbe sou peyi a ak tout maladi Seyè a voye nan peyi a.
The generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which the LORD has made it sick;
23 Y'a wè tout peyi a kouvri anba souf ak sèl, tout tè a boule. Lè sa a, moun p'ap ka simen anyen nan tè a, ankenn plant p'ap ka pran ladan l'. Pa menm vye zèb p'ap ka pouse. Peyi nou an va tankou lavil Sodòm ak Gomò, tankou lavil Adma ak Siboyen, lavil Seyè a te detwi nèt lè l' te ankòlè a, lè l' te move anpil la.
and that the whole land of it is sulfur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Lè sa a, tout moun sou latè va mande: Poukisa Seyè a fè moun sa yo sa? Pouki tout kòlè sa a sou peyi a?
even all the nations shall say, "Why has the LORD done thus to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?"
25 Y'a reponn yo: Se paske yo pa t' kenbe kontra Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, kontra li te pase ak yo lè li t'ap fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la.
Then men shall say, "Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,
26 Yo leve al sèvi lòt bondye yo pa t' janm konnen anvan. Y' al mete ajenou devan bondye Seyè a pa t' ba yo pou yo sèvi.
and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they did not know, and that he had not given to them:
27 Se konsa Seyè a vin fache anpil sou moun peyi sa a. Li sitèlman fache, li fè tout madichon ki ekri nan liv lalwa a tonbe sou yo.
therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring on it all the curse that is written in this book;
28 Seyè a fè kòlè, li move, li fache, li rache yo met deyò nan peyi yo a, l' al jete yo nan yon lòt peyi etranje kote yo ye koulye a.
and the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day."
29 Gen bagay nou pa konnen, se bagay Bondye kenbe nan kè l' pou li menm. Men, bagay li fè nou konnen yo, se bagay nou menm ak pitit nou yo pa dwe janm bliye pou nou ka fè tou sa li mande nou fè nan lalwa a.
The secret things belong to the LORD our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
