Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the things that the Israelis were required to do to keep the agreement that Yahweh was making with them. Moses/I commanded them to keep this agreement [when they/we were] in the Moab region [on the east side of the Jordan River]. This was in addition to the agreement that Yahweh had made with them/us at Sinai [Mountain].
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 Moses/I summoned all the Israeli people and said to them, “You saw [SYN] for yourselves what Yahweh did to the king of Egypt and to his officials and to his entire country.
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 You [SYN] saw all the plagues [that Yahweh caused them to experience], and all the various miracles [DOU] [that Yahweh performed].
Nou wè ak je nou tout gwo malè li te voye sou yo, tout mirak ak tout mèvèy li te fè.
4 But until now, Yahweh has not enabled you to understand [the meaning of] all that you have seen and heard.
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 For 40 years Yahweh has led you while you traveled/walked through the desert. During that time, your clothes and your sandals have not worn out.
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 have bread to eat or wine or other fermented/strong drinks to drink, but Yahweh [took care of you], in order that you would know that he is 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 when we came to this place, Sihon, the king who ruled in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king who ruled the Bashan [region], came [with their armies] to attack us, but we defeated them.
Rive nou rive isit la, Siyon, wa Esbon an ak Og, wa Bazan an, soti vin atake nou. Nou bat yo byen bat.
8 We took/conquered their land and divided it among the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and half of the tribe of Manasseh.
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 “So faithfully keep all of this agreement, in order that you will be successful in everything that you 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 Today all of us are standing in the presence of Yahweh our God. The leaders of all our tribes, our elders, our officials, all you Israeli men,
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, your children, and the foreigners who live among you and cut wood for you and carry water for you, are here.
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 [We are here] today to promise to keep this solemn agreement with Yahweh.
nou vin pran angajman sou sèman pou nou asepte tout egzijans kontra Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap pase ak nou jòdi a.
13 [He is making this agreement with you] in order to confirm that you are his people, and that he is your God. This agreement is what he promised you, and which is what he vowed to give to your ancestors Abraham, 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 This agreement is not only with you.
Men, se pa avèk nou menm sèlman l'ap pase kontra li te fè nou sèmante pou n' kenbe a.
15 He is making this agreement with us [who are here today] and also with our descendants who are not yet born.
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 “You remember [the things that our ancestors suffered] in Egypt, and how they traveled through the land that belonged to other nations [after they came out of Egypt].
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 In those countries they saw those disgusting idols made of wood and stone and [decorated with] silver and gold.
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 So be sure that no man or woman or family or tribe that is here [today] turns away from Yahweh our God, to worship/serve the gods of those nations. Doing that would be like a root [of a plant that would grow] among you and bear poisonous and bitter fruit [MET].
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 “Be sure that no one here today who hears this agreement thinks, ‘Everything will go well with me, even if I stubbornly do what I want to.’ If you are stubborn like that, the result will be that Yahweh will eventually get rid of all of you, both good people and evil people [MET].
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 Yahweh will not forgive anyone who is [stubborn] like that. Instead, he will be extremely angry [DOU] with that person, and that person will experience all the curses that I have told you about, until Yahweh gets rid of that person and his family [IDM].
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 From all the tribes of Israel, Yahweh will separate that individual. Yahweh will cause him to experience all the disasters that I have listed in the agreement that states the things that Yahweh will do to curse [those who disobey] the laws [that I have written] in this scroll/book.
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 “In the future, your descendants and people from other countries will see the disasters and the illnesses that Yahweh has caused to happen to you.
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 They will see that all your land has been ruined by burning sulfur and salt. Nothing will have been planted. Not even weeds will grow there. Your land will resemble Sodom and Gomorrah [cities], and Admah and Zeboiim [cities], which Yahweh destroyed when he was very angry [DOU] [with the people who lived there].
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 the people from those other nations will ask, ‘Why did Yahweh do this to this land? Why was he very angry [with the people who lived here]?’
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 “Then other people will reply, ‘It is because they refused to keep the agreement that Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped], had made with them when he brought them out 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 Instead, they served/worshiped other gods that they had never worshiped before, gods that Yahweh had told them not to worship.
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 So, Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people in this land, and he caused them to experience all the disasters that their leader warned them about.
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 Yahweh became extremely angry [DOU] with them and took/yanked them [MET] out of their land and banished them into another land, and they are still there.’
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 “[There are some] things that Yahweh our God has (kept secret/not revealed), but he has revealed his laws to us, and [he expects] us and our descendants to obey them forever.”
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.
