< Exodus 33 >

1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse: “Pati, ale monte soti isit la, ou menm avèk pèp ke ou te mennen monte sòti nan peyi Égypte la, vè yon peyi ke Mwen te sèmante a Abraham, Issac, e a Jacob lè M te di yo: ‘A desandan nou yo Mwen va bay li.’
2 (and I will send an angel before thee, and dispossess the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, )
Mwen va voye yon zanj devan ou, e Mwen va mete Kananeyen yo deyò, Amoreyen yo, Evetyen yo, Ferezyen yo, Etyen yo, ak Jebisyen yo.
3 into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people, — lest I consume thee on the way.
Monte vè yon peyi ki koule lèt ak siwo myèl; men Mwen p ap monte nan mitan nou, pwiske nou se yon pèp tèt di, e Mwen ta kapab petèt detwi nou nan chemen an.”
4 And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments.
Lè pèp la te tande pawòl tris sa yo, yo te antre nan gwo doulè, e pèsòn pa t abiye avèk òneman yo.
5 Now Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: in one moment I will come up into the midst of thee and will consume thee. And now put off thine ornaments from thee, and I will know what I will do unto thee.
Paske SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Di a fis Israël yo: ‘Nou se yon pèp tèt di; si M ta monte nan mitan nou pandan yon moman, Mwen ta detwi nou. Koulye a, pou sa, retire òneman yo sou nou menm, pou M kapab konnen kisa ke M ta dwe fè avèk nou.’”
6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments at mount Horeb.
Konsa, soti Mòn Horeb pou rive pi lwen, fis Israël yo te retire tout òneman yo nèt sou yo menm.
7 And Moses took the tent, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of meeting. And it came to pass [that] every one who sought Jehovah went out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.
Alò Moïse te abitye pran tant lan, li te monte li deyò kan an, yon bon distans a kan an, e li te rele li “Tant Reyinyon an”. Epi tout moun ki t ap chache SENYÈ a te konn ale nan tant reyinyon ki te deyò kan an.
8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and stood every man at the entrance of his tent, and they looked after Moses until he entered into the tent.
Epi li te rive ke nenpòt lè ke Moïse te sòti deyò tant lan, ke tout pèp la ta leve kanpe, chak moun nan antre a tant pa yo a, e gade vè Moïse jiskaske li te vin retounen nan tant lan.
9 And it came to pass when Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and [Jehovah] talked with Moses.
Nenpòt lè Moïse te antre nan tant lan, pilye a nwaj la te konn desann e kanpe nan antre tant lan; epi SENYÈ a ta pale avèk Moïse.
10 And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance of the tent; and all the people rose and worshipped, every man at the entrance of his tent.
Lè tout pèp la te wè pilye a nwaj la ki te kanpe nan antre tant lan, tout pèp la te leve adore, chak moun depi nan antre a tant pa li a.
11 And Jehovah spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. And he returned to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from within the tent.
Konsa SENYÈ a te konn pale avèk Moïse fasafas, menm jan ke yon moun pale avèk zanmi li. Lè Moïse te retounen nan kan an, sèvitè li a, Josué, fis a Nun nan, yon jennonm, ta refize sòti nan mitan tant lan.
12 And Moses said to Jehovah, Behold, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me; and thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in mine eyes.
Alò, Moïse te di a SENYÈ a: “Ou wè, Ou di mwen, ‘Monte avèk pèp sa a, men Ou menm ou pa kite m konnen kilès Ou va voye avèk mwen.’ Anplis, Ou te di m: ‘Mwen te konnen ou pa non Ou, e ou osi twouve favè nan zye M.’
13 And now, if indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, make me now to know thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thine eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people!
Alò, pou sa, mwen priye Ou, si mwen twouve favè nan zye Ou, kite mwen konnen chemen pa Ou yo, pou m kapab konnen Ou, pou m kab jwenn favè nan zye Ou. Konsidere tou, ke nasyon sila a se pèp pa Ou.”
14 And he said, My presence shall go, and I will give thee rest.
Konsa, Li te di: “Prezans Mwen va ale avèk ou, e Mwen va bay ou repo.”
15 And he said to him, If thy presence do not go, bring us not up hence.
Epi Moïse te di Li: “Si prezans Ou p ap prale avèk nou, pa mennen nou monte isit la.
16 And how shall it be known then that I have found grace in thine eyes — I and thy people? [Is it] not by thy going with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from every people that is on the face of the earth.
Paske kijan pèp sa ka konnen ke mwen te twouve favè nan zye Ou, mwen avèk pèp Ou a? Èske se pa lè ou ale avèk nou, ke nou, mwen menm avèk pèp Ou a, kapab distenge pami tout lòt pèp ki rete sou fas tè a?”
17 And Jehovah said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast said; for thou hast found grace in mine eyes, and I know thee by name.
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Mwen va osi fè bagay sa ke ou te pale a; paske ou twouve favè nan zye M, e Mwen konnen ou pa non Ou.”
18 And he said, Let me, I pray thee, see thy glory.
Konsa, Moïse te di: “Mwen priye Ou, montre m glwa Ou!”
19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thy face, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
Epi Li te reponn li: “Mwen menm va fè tout bonte Mwen pase devan ou, e Mwen va pwoklame non SENYÈ a devan ou. Konsa, Mwen va fè gras a sa ke M vle fè gras yo, e Mwen va montre mizerikòd a sa ke M vle montre mizerikòd yo.”
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face; for Man shall not see me, and live.
Men Li te di: “Ou p ap kapab wè figi Mwen, paske okenn moun pa ka wè M pou l viv!”
21 And Jehovah said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: there shalt thou stand on the rock.
SENYÈ a te di: “Gade byen, gen yon plas bò kote Mwen. Ou va kanpe la sou wòch la.
22 And it shall come to pass, when my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand, until I have passed by.
Epi li va rive ke pandan glwa Mwen ap pase, Mwen va mete ou nan twou wòch la. E Mwen va kouvri ou avèk men M pou jiskaske M fin pase.
23 And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see me from behind; but my face shall not be seen.
Alò, Mwen va retire men M, e ou va wè do Mwen, men figi M p ap vizib.”
