Deuteronomy 29
1 These [are] the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Choreb.
Men pawòl ki te nan kontra Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd pase ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, lè yo te nan peyi Moab la. Kontra sa a te vin mete sou kontra li te deja fè ak yo sou Mòn Orèb la.
2 And Moses called all the sons of Israel and said to them, You have seen all things that the Lord did in the land of Egypt before you to Pharao and his servants, and all his land;
Moyiz fè rele tout pèp Izrayèl la, li di yo konsa: -Nou wè ak je nou tou sa Seyè a te fè wa peyi Lejip la, moun ki t'ap travay ak li yo ak tout peyi a.
3 the great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.
Nou wè ak je nou tout gwo malè li te voye sou yo, tout mirak ak tout mèvèy li te fè.
4 Yet the Lord God has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until this day.
Men, jouk koulye a, Seyè a poko louvri lespri nou ase pou nou konprann byen konprann tou sa nou wè ak tou sa nou tande.
5 And he led you forty years in the wilderness; your garments did not grow old, and your sandals were not worn away off your feet.
Pandan karantan, mwen pran men nou, mwen moutre nou chemen pou nou swiv nan dezè a. Rad sou nou pa t' janm chire, sapat nan pye nou pa t' janm fini.
6 You did not eat bread, you did not drink wine or strong drink, that you might know that I [am] the Lord your God.
Nou pa t' gen pen pou nou manje, ni diven, ni ankenn bwason pou nou bwè, men Seyè a te ban nou tou sa nou bezwen pou n' te ka konnen se li menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye nou an.
7 And you came as far as this place; and there came forth Seon king of Esebon, and Og king of Basan, to meet us in war.
Rive nou rive isit la, Siyon, wa Esbon an ak Og, wa Bazan an, soti vin atake nou. Nou bat yo byen bat.
8 And we struck them and took their land, and I gave it for an inheritance to Ruben and Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasse.
Nou pran peyi yo a bay moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo, moun branch fanmi Gad yo ansanm ak mwatye nan moun branch fanmi Manase yo pou yo rete.
9 And you shall take heed to do all the words of this covenant, that you may understand all things that you shall do.
N'a kenbe kontra sa a. N'a fè tou sa ki di ladan l' pou nou ka reyisi nan tout sa n'ap fè.
10 You all stand today before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, every man of Israel,
Jòdi a, men nou tout nou reyini la a devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou menm chèf tout branch fanmi nou yo, tout chèf fanmi nou yo ak tout lòt chèf yo, ak tout lòt gason nan pèp Izrayèl la,
11 your wives, and your children, and the stranger who is in the midst of your camp, from your hewer of wood even to your drawer of water,
tout pitit nou yo, madanm nou yo, tout moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou yo, depi sa k'ap koupe bwa jouk sa ki la pou al chache dlo pou nou,
12 that you should enter into the covenant of the Lord your God and into his oaths, as many as the Lord your God appoints you this day;
nou vin pran angajman sou sèman pou nou asepte tout egzijans kontra Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pase ak nou jòdi a.
13 that he may appoint you to himself for a people, and he shall be your God, as he said to you, and as he sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob.
Konsa depi jòdi a, se pèp li nou ye, se Bondye pa nou li ye, jan l' te di l' la, jan l' te pwomèt Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, zansèt nou yo.
14 And I do not appoint to you alone this covenant and this oath;
Men, se pa avèk nou menm sèlman l'ap pase kontra li te fè nou sèmante pou n' kenbe a.
15 but to those also who are here with you today before the Lord your God, and to those who are not here with you today.
Men se pa sèlman ak nou tout ki la jòdi a devan mwen, men tou se avèk tout pitit nou yo ki poko fèt.
16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, how we came through the midst of the nations through whom you came.
Nou konnen byen pwòp ki kalite lavi nou t'ap mennen nan pèyi Lejip la ak ki jan nou te pase nan mitan moun lòt nasyon nou te kontre sou wout nou.
17 And you saw their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are among them.
Nou te wè tout vye bagay yo t'ap fè, ak tout zidòl fèt an bwa, osinon ak wòch, osinon an ajan oswa an lò yo te gen lakay yo.
18 Lest there be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart has turned aside from the Lord your God, having gone to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be in you a root springing up with gall and bitterness.
Piga pesonn nan mitan nou, ni fanm ni gason, nan ankenn fanmi ni branch fanmi pèp la vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou y' al sèvi zidòl moun sa yo. Piga pesonn nan mitan nou tounen yon move grenn k'ap detounen pèp la, k'ap anpwazonnen l'.
19 And it shall be if one shall hear the words of this curse, and shall flatter himself in his heart, saying, Let good happen to me, for I will walk in the error of my heart, lest the sinner destroy the guiltless with [him]:
Si yon moun, apre li fin tande sa ki di nan kontra a ak tout egzijans ki ladan l' yo, mete nan tèt li se bon li bon, epi li di nan kè l': Koulye a, mwen pa bezwen pè anyen. Mwen gen dwa fè sa m' pi pito, sa ap lakòz nou tout ap mouri, inonsan kou koupab.
20 God shall by no means be willing to pardon him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his jealousy shall flame out against that man; and all the curses of this covenant shall attach themselves to him, which are written in this book, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.
Bondye p'ap janm padonnen yon moun konsa. Okontre, Bondye, ki yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil pou moun pa li yo, ap fache yon sèl fache sou nonm sa a, tout madichon ki ekri nan liv sa a pral tonbe sou li. Bondye ap fè non l' disparèt nèt sou latè.
21 And the Lord shall separate that man for evil of all the children of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of this law.
Seyè a va wete l' nan mitan rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo, l'a pini l' dapre madichon n'a jwenn nan kontra ki ekri nan liv lalwa Seyè a.
22 And another generation shall say—even your sons who shall rise up after you, and the stranger who shall come from a land afar off, and shall see the plagues of that land and their diseases, which the Lord has sent upon it,
Moun k'ap vin apre nou yo, pitit nou yo k'ap fèt apre nou ansanm ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap soti byen lwen yo, va wè malè ki tonbe sou peyi a ak tout maladi Seyè a voye nan peyi a.
23 brimstone and burning salt, (the whole land shall not be sown, neither shall any green thing spring, nor rise upon it, as Sodom and Gomorrha were overthrown, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord overthrew in his wrath and anger: )—
Y'a wè tout peyi a kouvri anba souf ak sèl, tout tè a boule. Lè sa a, moun p'ap ka simen anyen nan tè a, ankenn plant p'ap ka pran ladan l'. Pa menm vye zèb p'ap ka pouse. Peyi nou an va tankou lavil Sodòm ak Gomò, tankou lavil Adma ak Siboyen, lavil Seyè a te detwi nèt lè l' te ankòlè a, lè l' te move anpil la.
24 and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? what [is] this great fierceness of anger?
Lè sa a, tout moun sou latè va mande: Poukisa Seyè a fè moun sa yo sa? Pouki tout kòlè sa a sou peyi a?
25 And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, the things which he appointed to their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:
Y'a reponn yo: Se paske yo pa t' kenbe kontra Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, kontra li te pase ak yo lè li t'ap fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip la.
26 and they went and served other gods, which they knew not, neither did he assign [them] to them.
Yo leve al sèvi lòt bondye yo pa t' janm konnen anvan. Y' al mete ajenou devan bondye Seyè a pa t' ba yo pou yo sèvi.
27 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with that land to bring upon it according to all the curses which are written in the book of this law.
Se konsa Seyè a vin fache anpil sou moun peyi sa a. Li sitèlman fache, li fè tout madichon ki ekri nan liv lalwa a tonbe sou yo.
28 And the Lord removed them from their land in anger, and wrath, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land as at present.
Seyè a fè kòlè, li move, li fache, li rache yo met deyò nan peyi yo a, l' al jete yo nan yon lòt peyi etranje kote yo ye koulye a.
29 The secret things [belong] to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed [belong] to us and to our children for ever, to do all the words of this law.
Gen bagay nou pa konnen, se bagay Bondye kenbe nan kè l' pou li menm. Men, bagay li fè nou konnen yo, se bagay nou menm ak pitit nou yo pa dwe janm bliye pou nou ka fè tou sa li mande nou fè nan lalwa a.
