Deteronòm 28
1 “Alò, li va rive ke si yo obeyi avèk dilijans SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e fè atansyon pou fè tout kòmandman Li yo ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a, SENYÈ a va plase nou wo, pi wo pase tout lòt nasyon sou latè yo.
If you listen carefully to the voice of Yahweh your God so as to keep all his commandments that I am commanding you today, Yahweh your God will set you above all the other nations of the earth.
2 “Tout benediksyon sila yo va vini sou nou, epi yo va tonbe sou nou nèt, si nou tande vwa SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
All these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
3 Nou va beni nan vil, e beni andeyò.
Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be in the field.
4 Beni va fwi a vant nou, pòtre a bèt nou yo, kwasans a twoupo nou yo ak jenn pòtre a bann mouton nou yo.
Blessed will be the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your ground, and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
5 Beni va panyen nou avèk veso k ap foule pat pen an.
Blessed will be your basket and your kneading trough.
6 Beni lè nou antre, epi beni lè nou sòti.
Blessed will you be when you come in, and blessed will you be when you go out.
7 “SENYÈ a va fè lènmi ki leve kont nou yo bat devan nou. Yo va vin parèt kont nou nan yon sèl direksyon, men y ap sove ale devan nou nan sèt direksyon.
Yahweh will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck down before you; they will come out against you one way but will flee before you seven ways.
8 “SENYÈ a va kòmande benediksyon sou nou nan depo nou yo, nan tout bagay, depi nou mete men nou ladann. Li va beni nou nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, bannou an.
Yahweh will command the blessing to come on you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to; he will bless you in the land that he is giving you.
9 “SENYÈ a va etabli nou kòm yon pèp ki sen a Li Menm, jan Li te sèmante a nou menm nan, si nou kenbe kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, pou mache nan chemen Li yo.
Yahweh will establish you as a people that is set apart for himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, and walk in his ways.
10 Konsa, tout pèp sou latè yo va wè ke nou rele pa non SENYÈ a, e yo va pè nou.
All the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
11 “SENYÈ a va fè nou ogmante an pwosperite, nan fwi zantray nou, nan fètilite bèt nou yo, ak nan pwodwi tè nou yo, nan peyi ke SENYÈ a, te sèmante a zansèt nou yo pou bannou an.
Yahweh will make you very prosperous in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your cattle, in the fruit of your ground, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you.
12 “SENYÈ a va louvri pou nou depo bonte Li a, syèl la, pou bay lapli sou peyi nou nan sezon li, pou beni tout travay a men nou yo. Nou va prete lajan bay anpil nasyon, men nou p ap janm mande prete.
Yahweh will open to you his storehouse of the heavens to give the rain for your land at the right time, and to bless all the work of your hand; you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.
13 SENYÈ a va fè nou tèt olye de ke. Nou va anwo tou sèl, e nou p ap anba, si nou koute kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, ke mwen pase lòd bannou jodi a, pou nou swiv avèk atansyon,
Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail; you will be only above, and you will never be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God that I am commanding you today, so as to observe and to do them,
14 epi pa vire akote okenn nan pawòl ke mwen kòmande nou jodi a, ni adwat, ni agoch, pou ale apre lòt dye yo pou sèvi yo.
and if you do not turn away from any of the words that I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left, so as to go after other gods to serve them.
15 “Men li va vin rive ke si nou pa obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou swiv tout kòmandman Li yo avèk lwa Li yo ke mwen pase lòd bannou jodi a, ke tout malediksyon sa yo va vini sou nou, pou pran nou.
But if you do not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his commandments and his statutes that I am commanding you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you.
16 “Modi nou va ye nan vil la, epi modi nou va ye andeyò.
Cursed will you be in the city, and cursed will you be in the field.
17 “Modi va panyen nou ak bòl k ap pote pen nou.
Cursed will be your basket and your kneading trough.
18 “Modi va fwi zantray nou ak pwodwi a tè nou yo, kwasans twoupo a, avèk jenn pòtre bann mouton nou yo.
Cursed will be the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
19 “Modi nou va ye lè nou antre, epi modi nou va ye lè nou sòti.
Cursed will you be when you come in, and cursed will you be when you go out.
20 “SENYÈ a va voye sou nou madichon, twoub, avèk menas nan tout sa nou eseye fè, jiskaske nou fin detwi nèt, akoz mechanste a zèv nou yo, akoz ke nou te abandone mwen.
Yahweh will send on you curses, confusion, and rebukes in all that you put your hand to, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly because of your wicked actions by which you will have forsaken me.
21 “SENYÈ a va fè gwo epidemi vin kole sou nou jiskaske li fin manje nou soti nan peyi kote nou ap antre pou posede a.
Yahweh will make the plague cling to you until he destroys you from off the land that you are going in to possess.
22 “SENYÈ a va frape nou avèk epidemi tibèkiloz ak lafyèv, enflamasyon ak chalè ki brile, avèk nepe, maladi ki seche jaden, avèk pichon. Yo va kouri dèyè nou jiskaske nou mouri.
Yahweh will attack you with infectious diseases, with fever, with inflammation, and with drought and blistering heat, and with scorching winds and mildew. These will pursue you until you perish.
23 Syèl sou tèt nou an va vin bwonz, epi tè anba pye nou an va vin fè.
Your skies that are over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.
24 SENYÈ a va fè lapli tè nou an avèk poud e pousyè ki soti nan syèl la. Li va tonbe sou nou jiskaske nou fin detwi.
Yahweh will make the rain of your land into powder and dust; from the heavens will it come down on you, until you are destroyed.
25 “SENYÈ a va lakoz ke nou vin bat devan lènmi nou yo. Nou va sòti yon direksyon kont yo e nou va sove ale nan sèt direksyon devan yo. Konsa, nou va jete ale retou pami tout wayòm latè yo.
Yahweh will cause you to be struck down before your enemies; you will go out one way against them but will flee before them seven ways. You will be tossed to and fro among all the kingdoms of the earth.
26 Kadav nou va fè manje pou zwazo anlè yo ak bèt sovaj latè yo. Epi konsa, p ap gen moun ki pou chase yo ale.
Your dead body will be food to all the birds of the heavens and to the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to frighten them away.
27 “SENYÈ a va frape nou avèk abse Égypte yo, avèk timè e avèk kal sou po nou, ak gratèl, nan sila p ap gen gerizon yo.
Yahweh will attack you with the boils of Egypt and with ulcers, scurvy, and itch, from which you cannot be healed.
28 “SENYÈ a va frape nou pou fè nou fou, avèg ak sezi nan kè.
Yahweh will attack you with madness, with blindness, and with mental confusion.
29 Nou va tatonnen gwo midi, tankou yon avèg tatonnen nan tenèb, epi nou pa p pwospere nan zafè nou yo. Men nou va tout tan oprime e kontinyèlman viktim vòl, san genyen pèsòn pou bannou sekou.
You will grope about at noonday like the blind grope in the darkness, and you will not prosper in your ways; you will be always oppressed and robbed, and there will be no one to save you.
30 “Nou va fiyanse yon madanm, men yon lòt mesye va vyole li. Nou va bati yon kay, men nou p ap viv ladann. Nou va plante yon chan rezen, men nou p ap sèvi nan fwi li.
You will become engaged to a woman, but another man will seize her and rape her. You will build a house but not live in it; you will plant a vineyard but not enjoy its fruit.
31 “Bèf nou va touye devan zye nou, men nou p ap manje ladann. Bourik nou va rache nan men nou, e yo p ap remèt bannou. Mouton nou va bay a lènmi nou yo, e nou p ap gen okenn moun ki pou sove nou.
Your ox will be slain before your eyes, but you will not eat its meat; your donkey will be forcibly taken away from before you and will not be restored to you. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and you will have no one to aid you.
32 “Fis nou yo ak fi nou yo va bay a yon lòt pèp. Zye nou yo ap gade sou sa e anvi wè yo tout tan, men p ap gen anyen nou kapab fè.
Your sons and your daughters will be given to other peoples; your eyes will look for them the entire day, but will fail with longing for them. There will be no strength in your hand.
33 “Yon pèp nou pa menm konnen va vin manje pwodwi a tè nou yo ak tout travay nou yo. Nou p ap janm wè anyen sof ke oprime e kraze tout tan.
The harvest of your land and of all your labors—a nation that you do not know will eat it up; you will always be oppressed and crushed,
34 Sa nou wè ak zè nou va fè nou vin fou nèt.
so that you will become insane by what you have to see happen.
35 SENYÈ a va frape nou sou jenou ak janm avèk abse ki fè mal, ki pa gen gerizon soti anba pye nou rive jis anwo tèt nou.
Yahweh will attack you in the knees and legs with severe boils from which you cannot be cured, from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head.
36 “SENYÈ a va mennen nou avèk wa ke nou mete sou nou yo, a yon nasyon ki ni nou menm, ni zansèt nou yo pa t konnen. Epi la, nou va sèvi lòt dye yo, fèt ak bwa ak wòch.
Yahweh will take you and the king whom you will place over yourself to a nation that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors; there you will worship other gods of wood and stone.
37 Nou va devni yon objè meprize etonan, yon pwovèb, yon plezi pami tout pèp kote SENYÈ a pouse nou ale yo.
You will become a source of horror, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where Yahweh will lead you away.
38 “Nou va pote anpil semans nan chan yo, men nou va ranmase piti, paske krikèt yo va manje yo.
You will take much seed out into the field, but will gather little seed in, for the locusts will consume it.
39 Nou va plante e kiltive chan rezen yo, men nou p ap bwè diven, ni ranmase fwi yo, paske vè va devore yo.
You will plant vineyards and cultivate them, but you will neither drink any of the wine, nor even gather in the grapes, for worms will eat them.
40 Nou va genyen pye doliv nan tout teritwa nou yo, men nou p ap onksyone nou avèk lwil, paske fwi doliv yo va tonbe.
You will have olive trees within all your territory, but you will not rub any of the oil on yourself, for your olive trees will drop their fruit.
41 “Nou va gen fis ak fi, men yo p ap pou nou, paske yo va antre an kaptivite.
You will have sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, for they will go into captivity.
42 “Krikèt va posede tout bwa ak pwodwi latè nou yo.
All your trees and the fruit of your ground—the locusts will take them over.
43 “Etranje ki pami nou an, va leve pi wo e pi wo ke nou, men nou va desann piba, e piba.
The foreigner who is among you will rise up above you higher and higher; you yourself will come down lower and lower.
44 Li va prete nou lajan, men nou p ap gen pou prete li. Li va tèt, nou menm, nou va ke.
He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him; he will be the head, and you will be the tail.
45 “Konsa tout madichon sa yo va vini sou nou pou pran nou jiskaske nou fin detwi, akoz nou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou pa t kenbe Kòmandman Li yo ak lwa Li yo, ke Li te kòmande nou.
All these curses will come on you and will pursue and overtake you until you are destroyed. This will happen because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, so as to keep his commandments and his regulations that he commanded you.
46 “Madichon sa yo va devni yon sign ak yon mèvèy pou nou ak desandan nou yo jis pou tout tan.
These curses will be on you as signs and wonders, and on your descendants forever.
47 Akoz nou pa t sèvi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pou nou ta twouve tout bagay, avèk jwa ak kè kontan.
Because you did not worship Yahweh your God with joyfulness and gladness of heart when you were in prosperity,
48 Pou sa, nou va sèvi lènmi nou yo ke SENYÈ a va voye kont nou, nan grangou, nan swaf, nan toutouni ak nan manke tout bagay. Konsa, Li va mete yon jouk fèt an fè sou kou nou jiskaske Li fin detwi nou.
therefore will you serve the enemies that Yahweh will send against you; you will serve them in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in poverty. He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until he destroys you.
49 “SENYÈ a va mennen yon nasyon kont nou soti lwen nan dènye pwent latè, tankou èg desann; yon nasyon ak yon langaj nou p ap konprann,
Yahweh will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle flies to its victim, a nation whose language you do not understand;
50 yon nasyon, avèk figi fewòs, ki p ap gen respè pou ansyen yo, ni montre favè a jèn yo.
a nation with a fierce face that does not respect the aged and does not show favor to the young.
51 Yo va manje fwi a twoupo nou yo ak pwodwi a tè nou yo jiskaske nou fin detwi. Yo p ap kite anyen, ni diven nèf la, ni lwil, ni fwi a twoupo nou yo oswa bann mouton nou yo jiskaske yo fè nou mouri.
They will eat the young of your cattle and the fruit of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave for you no grain, new wine, or oil, no young of your cattle or of your flock, until they have caused you to perish.
52 Yo va mete syèj sou nou nan tout vil nou yo jiskaske miray wo byen fòtifye nan sila nou te mete konfyans nou yo tonbe atravè peyi nou an. Yo va fè syèj sou nou nan vil nou yo nan tout peyi ke SENYÈ a te bannou an.
They will besiege you in all your city gates, until your high and fortified walls come down everywhere in your land, walls in which you had trusted. They will besiege you within all your city gates throughout all the land that Yahweh your God had given you.
53 “Konsa, nou va vin manje pitit a pwòp vant nou, chè a fis nou yo avèk fi nou yo ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, te bannou yo, pandan syèj la, ak tan rèd lan lè lènmi nou yo oprime nou.
You will eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, whom Yahweh your God gave you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies will put upon you.
54 “Nonm pami nou ki byen rafine e ki janti a va vin sovaj anvè frè li, anvè madanm ke li renmen anpil la, ak anvè tout lòt pitit li ki rete yo,
The man who is tender and very delicate among you—he will be envious of his brother and his own dear wife, and of whatever children he has left.
55 jis li p ap bay menm youn nan yo okenn nan chè a pitit li ke li va manje a; akoz nanpwen anyen ki rete, pandan syèj la ak tan di anpil la, pa sila ke lènmi nou yo va oprime nou nan tout vil nou yo.
So he will not give to any of them the flesh of his own children that he is going to eat, because he will have nothing left for himself in the siege and in the distress which your enemy will put upon you within all your city gates.
56 “Fanm pami nou ki byen rafine e ki janti a, ki pa t ap eseye menm mete pye li atè tèlman li rafine e janti, li va vin sovaj anvè mari li ke li renmen anpil la, anvè fis li avèk fi li,
The tender and delicate woman among you, who would not venture to put the bottom of her foot on the ground for delicateness and tenderness—she will be envious of her own dear husband, of her son, and of her daughter,
57 epi anvè vant ki sòti antre janm li yo lè l fè pitit e anvè pitit li yo ke li fè; paske li va manje yo an sekrè akoz mank tout lòt bagay pandan syèj la, e akoz soufrans pa sila lènmi nou va oprime nou nan vil nou yo.
and of her own newborn that comes out from between her legs, and of the children whom she will bear. She will eat them in private for lack of anything else, during the siege and in the distress which your enemy will put upon you within your city gates.
58 “Konsa, si nou pa fè atansyon pou swiv tout pawòl a lwa sila yo ki ekri nan liv sila yo, avèk krent non sa a ki plen onè e ki mèvèye la, SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,
If you do not keep all the words of this law that are written in this book, so as to honor this glorious and fearful name, Yahweh your God,
59 alò, SENYÈ a va mennen toumant ekstrawòdinè vin sou nou avèk desandan nou yo, menm gran toumant ki sevè e ki dire anpil, epidemi ki pa janm fini, e maladi ki rete mize.
then Yahweh will make your plagues terrible, and those of your descendants; they will be great plagues, of long duration, and severe diseases, of long duration.
60 Li va fè retounen sou nou tout maladi Égypte ke nou pè yo e yo va kole sou nou.
He will bring on you again all the diseases of Egypt that you were afraid of; they will cling to you.
61 Osi, tout kalite maladi ak toumant ki pa menm ekri nan liv lalwa sila a, SENYÈ a va mennen yo sou nou jiskaske nou fin detwi.
Also every sickness and plague that is not written in the book of this law, those also Yahweh will bring on you until you are destroyed.
62 “Konsa, nou va rete piti an kantite, malgre avan nou te gran an kantite tankou zetwal syèl yo, akoz ke nou pa t obeyi SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.
You will be left few in number, although you were like the stars of the heavens in number, because you did not listen to the voice of Yahweh your God.
63 “Li va rive ke menm jan SENYÈ a te fè kè kontan sou nou pou fè nou pwospere e miltipliye nou an; konsa, SENYÈ a va fè kè kontan sou nou pou fè nou peri e detwi nou. Nou va chire sòti nan tè ke nou ap antre pou posede a.
As Yahweh once rejoiced over you in doing you good, and in multiplying you, so he will rejoice over you in making you perish and in destroying you. You will be plucked off the land that you are going into to possess.
64 “Anplis, SENYÈ a va fè nou gaye pami tout pèp la jis soti nan pwent latè pou rive nan lòt la. Epi la, nou va sèvi lòt dye yo, bwa avèk wòch, ke nou menm avèk zansèt nou yo pa t janm konnen.
Yahweh will scatter you among all peoples from the one end of the earth to the other end of the earth; there you will worship other gods that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors, gods of wood and stone.
65 Pami nasyon sila yo, nou p ap twouve repo, ni p ap gen plas repo pou pla pye nou. Men la, SENYÈ a va bannou kè sote, zye ki febli ak nanm ki pèdi espwa.
Among these nations will you find no ease, and there will be no rest for the bottoms of your feet; instead, Yahweh will give you there a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a soul that mourns.
66 “Konsa, lavi nou va pandye nan dout devan nou. Nou va gen gwo laperèz lannwit kon lajounen, ni nou p ap gen asirans lavi nou.
Your life will hang in doubt before you; you will fear every night and day and will have no certainty at all in your life.
67 “Nan maten, nou va di: ‘Pito lannwit te rive’, e nan aswè, nou va di: ‘Pito se te maten!’ akoz krent kè nou ki bannou laperèz e pou vizyon a zye nou ke yo va wè.
In the morning you will say, 'I wish it were evening!' and in the evening you will say, 'I wish it were morning!' because of the fear in your hearts and the things your eyes will have to see.
68 “SENYÈ a va mennen nou retounen an Égypte nan gwo bato, pa chemen ke m te pale nou an: ‘Nou p ap janm wè li ankò!’ Epi la, nou va ofri tèt nou menm pou vann a lènmi nou yo kòm esklav mal ak femèl, men p ap gen moun pou achte nou.”
Yahweh will bring you into Egypt again by ships, by the route about which I had said to you, 'You will not see Egypt again.' There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will purchase you.”
