< Deuteronomy 10 >
1 “At that time, the Lord said to me: ‘Hew for yourself two tablets of stone, like those that were before, and ascend to me on the mountain. And you shall make an ark of wood.
Apre sa, Seyè a te di m': Taye de wòch plat tankou de premye yo. Fè yon bwat an bwa, mete yo ladan l'. Moute vin jwenn mwen sou mòn lan.
2 And I will write on the tablets the words which were on those that you broke before, and you shall place them in the ark.’
Mwen pral ekri sou wòch yo tou sa mwen te ekri sou wòch plat ou te kraze yo. Lèfini, w'a mete yo nan bwat la.
3 And so, I made an ark of setim wood. And when I had hewn two tablets of stone like the former, I ascended onto the mountain, having them in my hands.
Se konsa, mwen fè yon bwat an bwa zakasya, mwen taye de wòch plat tankou de premye yo, epi mwen moute sou mòn lan ak wòch yo nan men m'.
4 And he wrote on the tablets, according to that which he had written before, the ten words, which the Lord spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of fire, when the people were assembled. And he gave them to me.
Seyè a make sou wòch yo dis pawòl li te ekri premye fwa a, dis kòmandman Seyè a te ban nou antan li te nan mitan dife a, jou nou tout nou te reyini nan pye mòn lan. Apre sa li ban mwen yo.
5 And returning from the mountain, I descended and placed the tablets in the ark, which I had made, and they are still there even now, just as the Lord instructed me.
Mwen desann soti nan mòn lan. Mwen mete wòch plat yo nan bwat mwen te fè a, jan Seyè a te ban mwen lòd la, epi se la yo rete depi lè sa a.
6 Then the sons of Israel moved their camp, from Beeroth among the sons of Jaakan, into Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and where his son Eleazar was installed in the priesthood in his place.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo kite pi Benèy-Jakan yo, yo pati pou Mosera. Se la Arawon te mouri. Se la tou yo antere l'. Se Eleaza, pitit li a, yo te mete prèt nan plas li.
7 From there, they went into Gudgodah. From that place, they set out and camped at Jotbathah, in a land of waters and torrents.
Yo kite kote yo te ye a, yo pati pou Goud Goda, epi yo rive Jobata, yon kote ki te gen anpil dlo.
8 At that time, he separated the tribe of Levi, so that he would carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and stand before him in the ministry, and speak blessings in his name, even to the present day.
Se lè sa a Seyè a te mete moun branch fanmi Levi yo apa pou yo reskonsab pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, pou yo ka kanpe devan l' fè sèvis pou li, pou yo ka beni pèp la nan non l', jan y'ap fè l' jouk koulye a.
9 As a result, Levi has no portion or possession with his brothers. For the Lord himself is his possession, just as the Lord your God promised him.
Se poutèt sa, moun branch fanmi Levi yo pa t' resevwa ankenn pòsyon tè pou rele yo pa yo menm jan ak moun lòt branch fanmi yo paske se Seyè a ki tout byen yo, jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te di l' la.
10 Then I stood on the mountain, as before, for forty days and nights. And the Lord heeded me at this time also, and he was not willing to destroy you.
Mwen menm, mwen rete karant jou, karant nwit sou mòn lan, jan mwen te fè l' premye fwa a. Fwa sa a ankò, Seyè a koute m', li te dakò pou l' pa detwi nou.
11 And he said to me: ‘Go forth and walk before the people, so that they may enter and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would deliver to them.’
Lè sa a, li di m' konsa: Leve non. Pati, pran devan pèp la. Mennen yo al pran pou yo peyi mwen te sèmante m'ap bay zansèt yo a.
12 And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? Only that you fear the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul,
Koulye a, nou menm pèp Izrayèl, men sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mande nou: Se pou nou gen krentif pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se pou nou swiv chemen li mete devan nou an. Se pou nou renmen l'. Se pou nou sèvi l' ak tout kè nou ak tout nanm nou.
13 and that you keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I am instructing to you this day, so that it may be well with you.
Se pou nou mache dapre tout kòmandman ak tout lòd li yo. Se pou byen nou mwen ban nou yo jòdi a.
14 Lo, heaven belongs to the Lord your God, and the heaven of heaven, and the earth, and all the things that are within these.
Gade non! Se pou Seyè a syèl la ak tou sa ki anwo nèt nan syèl la ye. Se pou li latè ak tou sa ki ladan l' lan ye.
15 Now the Lord was closely joined to your fathers, and he loved them, and he chose their offspring after them, that is, you yourselves, out of all the nations, just as is being proven today.
Men, pami tout ras moun ki sou latè yo, se zansèt nou yo li te pi pito, paske li te renmen yo. Apre yo, se nou menm, pitit yo, li pi pito nan mitan tout lòt ras moun, jan sa ye jouk koulye a.
16 Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and no longer stiffen your neck.
Se poutèt sa, louvri kè nou nèt bay Seyè a. Sispann fè wòklò ak li,
17 For the Lord your God himself is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a God great and powerful and terrible, who favors no person and accepts no bribe.
paske Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se li menm ki Bondye anwo tout bondye, se li menm ki chèf sou tout chèf. Li gen pouvwa, li gen fòs, li fè moun respekte l'. Li pa nan paspouki, li pa kite yo achte figi l' avèk kado y'ap ofri ba li.
18 He accomplishes judgment for the orphan and the widow. He loves the sojourner, and he gives him food as well as clothing.
L'ap defann kòz timoun ki san papa yo ak kòz fanm ki pèdi mari yo. Li renmen moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan pèp li a, li ba yo manje pou yo manje ak rad pou yo mete sou yo.
19 Therefore, you also should love sojourners, for you also were new arrivals in the land of Egypt.
Se pou nou renmen moun lòt nasyon sa yo tou paske yon lè se sa nou te ye nan peyi Lejip la.
20 You shall fear the Lord your God, and him alone shall you serve. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ase pou nou gen krentif. Se li menm sèlman pou nou sèvi. Pa janm lage l'. Se nan non l' ase pou nou fè sèman.
21 He is your praise and your God. He has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.
N'a fè lwanj li, se li menm ki Bondye nou. Nou te wè ak je nou tout gwo bagay ak bèl mèvèy li te fè pou nou.
22 As seventy souls, your fathers descended into Egypt. And now, behold, the Lord your God has multiplied you to be like the stars of heaven.”
Lè zansèt nou yo te desann nan peyi Lejip, yo te swasanndis moun sèlman. Koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fè nou vin anpil tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
