Non! Se pa paske nou te merite, ni paske nou te mennen bak nou dwat kifè Seyè a pral fè nou pran peyi a pou nou. Se paske moun sa yo mechan kifè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pral disparèt yo sou tout wout nou. Epitou, se pou l' te ka kenbe pawòl li te sèmante bay zansèt nou yo, Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb.
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
