Deuteronomy 1
1 These [are] the words which Moses hath spoken unto all Israel, beyond the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain over-against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab;
Men pawòl Moyiz te di tout pèp Izrayèl la lè yo te lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, nan dezè a, nan plenn Araba ki anfas Souf: Yo te gen dezè Paran an sou yon bò ak lavil Tofèl, Liban, Azewòt ak Dizaab sou lòt bò a.
2 eleven days' from Horeb, the way of mount Seir, unto Kadesh-Barnea.
Pou mache soti mòn Sinayi rive Kadès-Banea, lè ou swiv wout ki pase nan mòn Seyi a, sa pran onz jou.
3 And it cometh to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month hath Moses spoken unto the sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him concerning them;
Se premye jou nan onzyèm mwa karantyèm lanne depi yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la Moyiz te fè pale sa a ak pèp Izrayèl la, jan Seyè a te mande l' la.
4 after his smiting Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei,
Lè sa a, Seyè a te fin bat Siyon, wa peyi Amori a, ki te rete Esbon, ak Og, wa peyi Bazan an, ki te rete Astawòt nan zòn Edreyi.
5 beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, hath Moses begun to explain this law, saying:
Se antan pèp la te lòt bò larivyè Jouden, nan peyi Moab la, Moyiz tanmen esplike yo tou sa Seyè a te di. Li di yo konsa:
6 'Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying, Enough to you — of dwelling in this mount;
-Lè nou te sou mòn Orèb la, nou chonje Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te pale ak nou. Li te di nou: Koulye a, nou rete kont nou sou mòn sa a.
7 turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat;
Ranmase tout zafè nou pati. Ale nan mòn peyi Amori yo ak nan tout lòt peyi ki toupre l' yo, nan plenn Araba a, nan mòn yo, nan fon yo, nan Negèv la bò sid ak bò gwo lanmè Mediterane a. Ale nan peyi Kanaran an ak nan peyi Liban an jouk nou rive bò gwo larivyè Lefrat la.
8 see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.
Nou wè! Men m'ap ban nou tout peyi sa yo. Al pran posesyon peyi mwen menm Seyè a, mwen te pwomèt m'ap bay zansèt nou yo, Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb, pou yo ak pou tout pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo apre yo.
9 'And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by myself to bear you;
Menm lè sa a, mwen te di nou: Mwen pa kapab reskonsab nou tout pou kont mwen, chay la twòp pou mwen.
10 Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are] to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude;
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou anpil pitit, kifè koulye a nou vin anpil, tankou zetwal nan syèl la.
11 Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken to you.
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, ban nou mil fwa plis pitit pase sa nou gen koulye a. Se pou l' beni nou jan li te pwomèt nou an.
12 'How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden, and your strife?
Men, ki jan pou m' fè pote tout chay sa a pou kont mwen, pou m' jwenn solisyon pou tout pwoblèm nou, pou m' regle tout kont nou gen yonn ak lòt?
13 Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;
Se poutèt sa, nan chak branch fanmi nou yo, chwazi kèk nèg ki gen lespri, ki gen bon konprann, ki konn lavi, m'a mete yo chèf pou dirije nou.
14 and ye answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou hast spoken — to do.
Lè sa a, nou te reponn mwen, nou te di m' konsa: Sa ou mande nou fè la a bon wi!
15 'And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known, and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities, for your tribes.
Se konsa mwen pran nan chak branch fanmi nou yo moun ki gen lespri, moun ki konn lavi, mwen mete yo chèf pou dirije nou. Genyen mwen mete chèf sou mil gason, dòt sou san gason, dòt sou senkant gason, dòt ankò sou dis gason. Mwen te chwazi lòt chèf tou pou chak branch fanmi.
16 And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening between your brethren — then ye have judged righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;
Lè sa a, men sa mwen te mande chèf nou yo pou yo fè: Chache konnen lè gen kont nan mitan pèp la. N'a regle tout kont yon moun ka gen ak frè parèy li osinon ak moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan nou. N'a fè sa san patipri.
17 ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye bring near unto me, and I have heard it;
Nou p'ap nan achte figi lè n'ap jije yon bagay. Se pou nou jije tout moun menm jan, kit se yon ti malere, kit se yon grannèg. Nou pa bezwen pè pesonn paske n'ap jije dapre prensip Bondye bay. Lè se yon ka ki twò difisil pou nou, n'a pote l' vin devan mwen, m'a jije l' mwen menm.
18 and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye do.
Se konsa, menm lè sa a, mwen te ban nou lòd, mwen te di nou sa pou n' fè ak sa pou n' pa fè.
19 'And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which ye have seen — the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea.
Apre sa, nou leve, nou kite mòn Orèb la. Jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd la, nou mache nan tout gwo dezè ki gen anpil danje ladan l' lan, dezè nou te wè a, nou pran chemen pou n' al nan mòn peyi Amori yo, epi nou rive Kadès Banea.
20 'And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us;
Lè sa a, mwen di nou: Men nou rive nan mòn peyi Amori yo, peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an.
21 see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up, possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.
Gade, men peyi Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap ban nou an. Ale non, pran peyi a pou nou, jan Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te di l' la. Nou pa bezwen pè, kè nou pa pou janm kase.
22 'And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities unto which we come in;
Lè sa a nou tout, nou vin jwenn mwen, nou di m' konsa: Ann voye kèk nèg pami nou devan pou y' al wè ki jan peyi a ye. Y'a tounen vin esplike nou ki wout pou nou swiv ak nan ki lavil nou ka antre.
23 and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you twelve men, one man for a tribe.
Mwen te wè sa nou di m' lan se te bon koze. Se konsa mwen chwazi douz nèg, yonn nan chak branch fanmi.
24 'And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it,
Yo pati, yo pran chemen mòn lan jouk yo rive nan Fon Echkòl: yo vizite tout zòn lan nèt.
25 and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.
Yo pran kèk fwi peyi a donnen, yo pote ban nou. Epi yo di nou peyi Seyè a ap ban nou an se yon bon venn tè.
26 'And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God,
Men, nou pa t' vle al ladan l'. Se konsa nou te derefize obeyi lòd Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou.
27 and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah's hating us He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite — to destroy us;
Nou antre lakay nou, nou pran plenyen. Epi nou di se vle Seyè a pa vle wè nou! Se poutèt sa li fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip pou l' lage nou nan men moun peyi Amori yo pou yo ka fini ak nou.
28 whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim — we have seen there.
Kote nou prale koulye a? Moun nou te voye yo dekouraje nou. Yo di nou moun ki nan peyi sa a pi fò pase nou, yo pi bèl wotè pase nou. Lavil yo gran anpil ak gwo ranpa byen wo ki rive jouk nan syèl la. Nou te menm wè kèk moun ras Anak yo la tou.
29 'And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of them;
Men, mwen di nou: Kè nou pa bezwen kase, nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo.
30 Jehovah your God, who is going before you — He doth fight for you, according to all that He hath done with you in Egypt before your eyes,
Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap mache alatèt nou. Li pral goumen pou nou menm jan nou te wè l' fè l' la nan peyi Lejip
31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto this place.
ak nan dezè a. Nou wè ki jan sou tout wout la li pa janm lage nou, tankou yon papa ki pa janm lage pitit li, jouk nou rive bò isit la.
32 'And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God,
Men, atout mwen te di nou sa, nou pa t' vle mete konfyans nou nan Seyè a, Bondye nou an,
33 who is going before you in the way to search out to you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the way in which ye go, and in a cloud by day.
li menm ki te pran devan nou sou tout wout la pou l' te ka jwenn kote pou nou moute kan nou. Lannwit, li te mache devan nou nan yon poto dife. Lajounen, nan yon gwo nwaj li te moutre nou chemen pou nou pran.
34 'And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth, and sweareth, saying,
Lè Seyè a tande jan nou t'ap plenyen, li te fache anpil, li fè sèman, li di:
35 Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,
Pa gen yonn nan tout move sije sa yo k'ap viv koulye a k'ap antre nan bon peyi mwen te pwomèt m'ap bay zansèt nou yo,
36 save Caleb son of Jephunneh — he doth see it, and to him I give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons, because that he hath been fully after Jehovah.
an wetan Kalèb, pitit gason Jefoune a, ki va antre nan peyi sa a. M'a ba li peyi li te al espyonnen an, pou li ak pou pitit li yo, paske li te obeyi m' san gad dèyè.
37 'Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake, saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither;
Nou lakòz Seyè a te fache ata avè m', epi li di m': Ou menm tou Moyiz, ou p'ap antre nan peyi a.
38 Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to inherit.
Se Jozye, pitit gason Noun lan, k'ap sèvi avè ou la, ki va antre nan plas ou. Ankouraje l' tande, paske se li menm ki pou fè pèp Izrayèl la antre al pran peyi a.
39 'And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil, they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it;
Men, se pitit nou yo, sa nou di ki tapral tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo, timoun nou yo ki koulye a poko konnen sa ki byen ak sa ki mal, se yo menm ki pral antre nan peyi a. Se yo menm mwen pral bay peyi a, se yo menm ki pral rete ladan l'.
40 and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea.
Men nou menm, tounen tounen nou nan dezè a! Pran chemen Lanmè Wouj la ankò!
41 'And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we — we go up, and we have fought, according to all that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into the hill-country;
Lè sa a nou reponn mwen: Nou rekonèt nou peche kont Seyè a. Nou prale, epi n'a goumen jan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te ban nou lòd la. Epi nou leve nou pran zam nou. Nou te kwè sa tapral fasil pou nou pran mòn yo.
42 and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies.
Men, Seyè a di m' avèti nou: Piga n' al atake, piga n' al fè lènmi nou yo bat nou, paske li p'ap kanpe avèk nou.
43 'And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;
Mwen te pale nou, men nou pa t' koute m', nou derefize swiv lòd Seyè a te ban nou. Nou te konprann nou te fò kont kò nou pou n' te al pran mòn lan.
44 and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite you in Seir — unto Hormah.
Lè sa a, moun peyi Amori yo ki te rete nan mòn yo soti vin kontre ak nou. Tankou yon desen myèl, yo kouri dèyè nou, yo bat nou byen bat nan tout peyi Seyi a rive jouk Oma.
45 'And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given ear unto you;
Lè nou tounen, nou kriye nan pye Seyè a, men Seyè a pa t' koute sa nou t'ap di l', li pa t' pran ka nou.
46 and ye dwell in Kadesh many days, according to the days which ye had dwelt.
Se poutèt sa nou te blije pase tout tan sa a nan zòn Kadès la.
