Deuteronomy 27

1 Then Moses and the elders of Israel instructed the people, saying: “Keep each commandment that I instruct to you this day.

Lè sa a, Moyiz ansanm ak tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo bay pèp la lòd sa yo: -Se pou nou fè tou sa mwen mande nou fè jòdi a.

2 And when you have crossed over the Jordan, into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, you shall erect immense stones, and you shall coat them with plaster,

Lè n'a janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, pou nou antre nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an, n'a pran kèk gwo wòch, n'a mete yo kanpe, n'a blanchi yo ak lacho.

3 so that you may be able to write upon them all the words of this law, when you have crossed the Jordan so as to enter into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as he swore to your fathers.

Apre sa, n'a ekri sou yo tout lòd ki nan lalwa sa a. Lè n'a fin antre nan peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an, peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl ap koule tankou dlo jan li te pwomèt zansèt nou yo,

4 Therefore, when you have crossed over the Jordan, erect the stones, just as I instruct you to do this day, on Mount Ebal. And you shall coat them with plaster,

lè n'a fin janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, n'a kanpe wòch sa yo sou tèt mòn Ebal, jan mwen di nou li jòdi a. N'a blanchi yo ak lacho.

5 and you shall build, in that place, an altar to the Lord your God out of stones which have not been touched by iron,

N'a pran wòch, n'a moute yon lòtèl la tou pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Pa travay wòch n'a pran pou n' fè lòtèl la ak sizo.

6 out of stones which have not been hewn or polished. And you shall offer holocausts on it to the Lord your God.

Se pou n' pran wòch yo konsa, jan nou jwenn yo a, pou nou bati lòtèl Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se la n'a touye bèt nou ofri pou yo boule nèt pou Seyè a.

7 And you shall immolate peace victims. And you shall eat and feast in that place, in the sight of the Lord your God.

Se la n'a fè ofrann bèt pou yo touye pou di Bondye mesi. Se la n'a manje ofrann nou yo, se la n'a fè fèt devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an.

8 And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law, plainly and clearly.”

N'a ekri sou wòch yo tout lòd ki nan lalwa sa a. N'a ekri yo pou tout moun ka li yo.

9 And Moses and the priests of Levitical stock said to all of Israel: “Attend and listen, O Israel! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

Apre sa, Moyiz ansanm ak prèt moun Levi yo pale ak tout pèp la. Li di yo konsa: -Nou menm, moun pèp Izrayèl yo, fè yon ti silans pou mwen, tanpri. Koute byen. Depi jòdi a se pèp Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou ye.

10 You shall listen to his voice, and you shall do the commandments and justices, which I am entrusting to you.”

Se pou nou obeyi l', se pou nou swiv tout lòd ak tout regleman mwen ban nou jòdi a.

11 And Moses instructed the people in that day, saying:

Menm jou sa a, Moyiz bay pèp Izrayèl la lòd sa a:

12 “These shall stand upon Mount Gerizim, as a blessing to the people, when you will have crossed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

-Lè n'a fin pase larivyè Jouden an, moun branch fanmi Simeyon, moun branch fanmi Levi, moun branch fanmi Jida, moun branch fanmi Isaka, moun branch fanmi Jozèf ak moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo va moute kanpe sou mòn Garizim lè y'ap beni pèp la.

13 And in the opposite region, there shall stand upon Mount Ebal, as a curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

Moun branch fanmi Woubenn, moun branch fanmi Gad, moun branch fanmi Asè, moun branch fanmi Zabilon, moun branch fanmi Dann ak moun branch fanmi Neftali yo va moute kanpe sou mòn Ebal lè y'ap bay pèp la madichon.

14 And the Levites shall pronounce and declare to all the men of Israel, with an exalted voice:

Moun Levi yo va pale ak pèp la, y'a rele byen fò pou tout moun ka tande:

15 Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten idol, an abomination to the Lord, a work of the hands of its maker, and who puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall respond by saying: Amen.

-Madichon Bondye pou tout moun ki fè travay yon wòch ak sizo osinon fè fonn metal pou fè yon zidòl, epi lèfini ki kache l' yon kote pou l' fè sèvis pou li. Se yon bondye moun fè ak men yo. Seyè a pa vle wè bagay konsa! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

16 Cursed be he who does not honor his father and mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon pou moun ki derespekte manman l' al papa l'! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

17 Cursed be he who removes his neighbor’s landmarks. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon pou moun ki deplase bòn tè yon moun pèp Izrayèl parèy li! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

18 Cursed be he who causes the blind to go astray on a journey. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon Bondye pou moun ki fè yon avèg pèdi chemen l'! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

19 Cursed be he who subverts the judgment of the new arrival, the orphan, or the widow. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon Bondye pou moun k'ap fè pasdwa sou moun lòt nasyon yo, sou timoun ki san papa ak sou vèv yo! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

20 Cursed be he who lies with his father’s wife, and so exposes the covering of his bed. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon Bondye pou tout gason ki va kouche ak madanm papa l', paske se avili l'ap avili papa l'! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

21 Cursed be he who lies with any beast. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon Bondye pou tout moun ki kwaze ak nenpòt ki bèt! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

22 Cursed be he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or of his mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon Bondye pou tout moun ki kouche avèk sè li, kit se pitit fi papa l', kit se pitit fi manman l'! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

23 Cursed be he who lies with his mother-in-law. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon Bondye pou moun ki kouche ak bèlmè li, manman madanm li! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

24 Cursed be he who secretly strikes down his neighbor. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon Bondye pou moun ki touye yon lòt moun Izrayèl parèy li an kachèt! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

25 Cursed be he who accepts gifts in order to strike down the life of innocent blood. And all the people shall say: Amen.

-Madichon Bondye pou moun ki asepte lajan pou touye yon inonsan! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!

26 Cursed be he who does not remain in the words of this law, and does not carry them out in deed. And all the people shall say: Amen.”

-Madichon Bondye pou moun ki pa kenbe pawòl ki nan lalwa a, ki pa fè sa yo di ladan l'! Tout pèp la va reponn: -Se sa menm! Nou dakò!
