Deuteronomy 30
1 “Now when all these things will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed you,
Mwen mete benediksyon ak madichon dèvan nou pou n' chwazi. Lè tout bagay mwen te di nou yo va rive nou, si, antan n'ap viv nan mitan lòt nasyon nan peyi kote Seyè a te gaye nou yo, nou vin chonje sa m' te di nou,
2 and when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole soul,
si nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye nou an, si nou koute l' ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou, nou menm ak tout pitit nou yo, jan m'ap ban nou lòd jòdi a,
3 then the Lord your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.
enben, lè sa a Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va gen pitye pou nou. L'a mennen tout moun yo te depòte yo tounen lakay yo. L'a chanje sò nou. Li pral mache chache nou nan tout peyi kote li te gaye nou yo, l'a sanble nou ankò.
4 Even if you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.
Yo mèt depòte nou jouk nan dènye bout latè, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral chache nou jouk la pou l' sanble nou ankò.
5 And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever were.
Seyè a va fè nou tounen nan peyi kote zansèt nou yo te rete a, n'a tounen pran l' pou nou ankò. L'a fè nou plis byen pase sa l' te fè pou zansèt nou yo, l'a fè nou vin pi plis pase zansèt nou yo.
6 The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va mete mak kontra li a sou kè nou ak sou kè pitit nou yo, pou nou ka renmen l' ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou, pou nou ka gen lavi.
7 And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you.
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va fè tout madichon sa yo tonbe sou lènmi nou yo, sou moun ki pa t' vle wè nou yo, sou moun ki t'ap maltrete nou yo.
8 But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day.
Men, nou menm, n'a tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, n'a koute l', n'a fè tou sa li ban nou lòd fè a, jan mwen mande nou li jòdi a.
9 And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers:
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va kouvri nou anba benediksyon. Li va fè tout zafè nou mache byen, l'a ban nou anpil pitit, l'a ban nou anpil bèt, l'a fè jaden nou yo bay bèl rekòt. Paske, Seyè a va pran plezi ankò pou l' fè nou viv ak kè kontan, menm jan li te pran plezi fè sa pou zansèt nou yo.
10 but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Men, n'a gen pou nou koute Seyè a, Bondye nou an, n'a gen pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman li yo ak tout regleman li yo, tou sa ki ekri nan liv lalwa a. Wi, se pou nou tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou.
11 This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away.
Kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a, se pa bagay nou pa kapab fè, bagay nou pa ka rive fè.
12 Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’
Se pa nan syèl la li ye pou n' ta di: Kilès ki pral moute al chache l' nan syèl la pou fè nou tande l', pou n' ka fè sa l' mande nou fè a?
13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’
Se pa lòt bò lanmè li ye non plis pou nou ta di: Kilès ki pral janbe lanmè al chache l' pou nou ka tande sa l' di, pou nou ka fè sa l' mande nou fè a?
14 Instead, the word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.
Non. Li la toupre nou. Li nan bouch nou, li nan tèt nou pou nou ka fè sa l' mande nou fè a.
15 Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, death and evil,
Gade. Jòdi a mwen mete devan nou lavi ak benediksyon yon bò, lanmò ak madichon yon bò. Se nou ki pou chwazi.
16 so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
Sa m'ap mande nou jòdi a, se pou nou renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, se pou nou viv jan li vle l' la, se pou nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè nan kòmandman li yo, nan lòd li yo ak nan regleman li yo. Konsa, n'a gen lavi, n'a gen anpil pitit. Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va beni nou nan peyi nou pral pran pou rele nou pa nou an.
17 But if your heart will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,
Men, si nou vire do ba li, si nou derefize koute l', si nou kite yo pran tèt nou pou n' al mete ajenou devan lòt bondye, pou n' al fè sèvis pou yo,
18 then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.
m'ap avèti nou depi koulye a: nou tout gen pou mouri. Nou p'ap viv lontan nan peyi lòt bò larivyè Jouden kote nou pral antre pou nou pran pou nou an.
19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,
Mwen pran syèl la ak latè a sèvi m' temwen jòdi a: Men li, mwen mete devan nou lavi yon bò, lanmò yon bò, benediksyon yon bò, madichon yon bò pou nou chwazi. Chwazi lavi tande, pou nou ka viv, nou menm ansanm ak tout pitit nou yo.
20 and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”
renmen Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Koute l'. Pa lage l' menm, paske se li menm ki tout lavi nou, se li k'ap fè nou viv lontan nan peyi Seyè a te fè pwomès li t'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo.
