Deuteronomy 8
1 Ye shall keepe all the commandements which I command thee this day, for to doe them: that ye may liue, and be multiplied, and goe in, and possesse the land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers.
Se pou nou swiv pwen pa pwen tout kòmandman m'ap ban nou jòdi a pou nou ka viv, pou nou ka gen anpil pitit, pou nou ka mache pran peyi mwen te fè sèman m'ap bay zansèt nou yo.
2 And thou shalt remember all ye way which the Lord thy God led thee this fourtie yeere in the wildernesse, for to humble thee and to proue thee, to knowe what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keepe his commandements or no.
Chonje tout chemen Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te fè nou pran nan dezè a pandan karantan pou l' te ka kraze lògèy nou, pou l' te ka sonde nou, pou l' te ka konnen sa ki nan kè nou, si tout bon vre nou te soti pou kenbe kòmandman l' yo.
3 Therefore he humbled thee, and made thee hungry, and fed thee with MAN, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know it, that he might teache thee that man liueth not by bread onely, but by euery worde that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord, doth a man liue.
Li kraze lògèy nou, li fè nou soufri grangou. Apre sa, li ba nou laman pou nou manje, yon kalite manje ni nou menm ni zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Li fè tou sa pou li te fè nou konnen se pa pen ase moun bezwen pou yo viv. Yo bezwen tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch Seyè a tou pou yo viv.
4 Thy raiment waxed not olde vpon thee, neither did thy foote swell those fourtie yeeres.
Pandan tout karantan sa yo, rad sou nou pa janm fini, pye nou yo pa janm fè yon ti anfle.
5 Knowe therefore in thine heart, that as a man nourtereth his sonne, so the Lord thy God nourtereth thee.
Se pou nou manyè konprann koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, t'ap mete nou sou lòd tankou yon papa k'ap mete pitit li sou lòd.
6 Therefore shalt thou keepe the commandements of the Lord thy God, that thou mayest walke in his wayes, and feare him.
Se poutèt sa, toujou kenbe tout lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou pou nou ka mennen bak nou dwat nan chemen li mete devan nou yo, lèfini pou nou toujou gen krentif pou li.
7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land in the which are riuers of water and fountaines, and depthes that spring out of valleis and mountaines:
Men, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mennen nou nan yon bèl peyi, yon peyi kote ki gen anpil rivyè, anpil sous dlo, anpil dlo anba tè k'ap pete nan fon yo ak sou flan mòn yo,
8 A land of wheate and barley, and of vineyards, and figtrees, and pomegranates: a land of oyle oliue and hony:
yon peyi kote ki gen ble, lòj, rezen, pye fig frans, grenad, oliv ak siwo myèl,
9 A land wherein thou shalt eate bread without scarcitie, neither shalt thou lacke any thing therein: a land whose stones are yron, and out of whose mountaines thou shalt digge brasse.
yon peyi kote nou p'ap janm manke manje, kote nou va jwenn tou sa nou vle. Plen fè nan mitan wòch li yo. N'a jwenn kwiv nan mòn li yo.
10 And when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, thou shalt blesse the Lord thy God for the good land, which he hath giuen thee.
Men, lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou, n'a fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou bon peyi li te ban nou an.
11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, not keeping his commandements, and his lawes, and his ordinances, which I commaund thee this day:
Veye kò nou pou nou pa janm bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou pa janm neglije kòmandman, lòd ak prensip m'ap ban nou jòdi a.
12 Lest when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein,
Lè n'a fin manje plen vant nou, lè n'a fin bati bèl kay pou nou rete,
13 And thy beastes, and thy sheepe are increased, and thy siluer and golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is increased,
lè n'a wè bèf nou yo, kabrit nou yo ak mouton nou yo ap peple, lè n'a wè n'a gen lò ak ajan an kantite, lè n'a wè tout byen nou yo ap vin pi plis chak jou,
14 Then thine heart be lifted vp and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,
pa kite lògèy vire tèt nou pou nou bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote yo te fè nou tounen esklav la.
15 Who was thy guide in the great and terrible wildernes (wherein were fierie serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where was no water, who brought forth water for thee out of ye rock of flint:
Se li menm ki te pran men nou pou fè nou travèse gwo dezè plen danje a, kote ki gen eskòpyon ak sèpan ki gen move pwazon nan bouch yo, kote moun ap mouri swaf dlo paske pa gen dlo la menm. Men, se li menm ki te fè dlo soti nan gwo wòch di a pou nou.
16 Who fed thee in the wildernesse with MAN, which thy fathers knewe not) to humble thee, and and to proue thee, that he might doe thee good at thy latter ende.
Nan dezè a se li menm ki te ban nou manje laman, yon kalite manje zansèt nou yo pa t' janm konnen. Li kraze lògèy nou, li sonde nou pou nou te ka gen kè kontan pi devan.
17 Beware least thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine owne hand hath prepared me this abundance.
Pa janm mete nan tèt nou se kouraj nou ak fòs ponyèt nou ki fè nou gen tout richès sa yo.
18 But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which giueth thee power to get substance to establish his couenant which he sware vnto thy fathers, as appeareth this day.
Chonje se Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te ban nou kouraj sa a. Se li menm ki te fè nou rive gen tout richès sa yo, paske li te kenbe kontra li te pase ak zansèt nou yo, epi l'ap kenbe l' jouk jòdi a.
19 And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walke after other gods, and serue them, and worship them, I testifie vnto you this day that ye shall surely perish.
Si nou rive bliye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou n' al kouri dèyè lòt bondye, pou nou fè sèvis pou yo, pou n' adore yo, mwen tou avèti nou jòdi a, nou tout nou gen pou nou disparèt.
20 As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before you, so ye shall perish, because ye woulde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lord your God.
Si nou pa koute sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, di nou, nou pral disparèt menm jan ak nasyon Bondye pral disparèt devan nou yo.
