Exodus 3

1 Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, Horeb.

Moyiz t'ap gade mouton ak kabrit Jetwo, bòpè li, ki te yon prèt nan peyi Madyan. Moyiz mennen bèt yo lòt bò dezè a. Li rive sou mòn Orèb, mòn Bondye a.

2 And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire and was not burnt.

Zanj Seyè a parèt devan l' sou fòm yon flanm dife nan mitan yon ti touf bwa. Moyiz gade, li wè touf bwa a te tou wouj ak dife, men li pa t'ap boule.

3 And Moses said: I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

Lè sa a, Moyiz di nan kè l': -Kite m' pwoche pi pre pou m' wè bagay dwòl sa a. Kouman touf bwa a fè pa boule?

4 And when the Lord saw that he went forward to see, he called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said: Moses, Moses. And he answered: Here I am.

Lè Seyè a wè Moyiz t'ap pwoche pou l' gade, li rete nan mitan touf bwa a, li rele l', li di: -Moyiz! Moyiz! Moyiz reponn: -Men mwen wi.

5 And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Bondye di: -Rete kote ou ye a. Pa pwoche. Wete sapat nan pye ou, paske kote ou kanpe a se yon tè ki apa pou mwen.

6 And he said: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Moses hid his face: for he durst not look at God.

Bondye di ankò: -Se mwen menm, Bondye zansèt ou yo, Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Izarak la ak Bondye Jakòb la. Moyiz bouche figi l', paske li te pè gade Bondye.

7 And the Lord said to him: I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of the rigour of them that are over the works:

Seyè a di: -Mwen wè tray pèp mwen an ap pase nan peyi Lejip. Mwen tande jan y'ap rele anba men moun k'ap peze yo. Wi, mwen konnen jan y'ap soufri.

8 And knowing their sorrow, I am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land into a good and spacious land, into a land that floweth with milk and honey, to the places of the Chanaanite, and Hethite, and Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite.

Mwen desann pou m' vin delivre yo anba men moun peyi Lejip yo, pou m' fè yo soti nan peyi Lejip la, pou m' mennen yo nan yon gwo peyi ki gen bon tè, yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Se la moun Kanaran yo rete ansanm ak moun Et yo, moun Amori yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.

9 For the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have seen their affliction, wherewith they are oppressed by the Egyptians.

Bondye di ankò: -Koulye a menm, rèl pitit Izrayèl yo rive jouk nan zòrèy mwen. Mwen wè jan y'ap soufri anba moun peyi Lejip yo k'ap peze yo.

10 But come, and I will send thee to Pharao, that thou mayst bring forth my people, the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Koulye a, ale! Se mwen menm k'ap voye ou bò kote farawon an. Fè pèp mwen an soti nan peyi Lejip. Wi, fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi sa a.

11 And Moses said to God: Who am I that I should go to Pharao, and should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

Moyiz di Bondye: -Ki moun mwen ye menm pou m' ta penmèt mwen ale bò kot farawon an pou m' fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip?

12 And he said to him: I will be with thee: and this thou shalt have for a sign, that I have sent thee: When thou shalt have brought my people out of Egypt, thou shalt offer sacrifice to God upon this mountain.

Bondye di l': -M'ap kanpe la avè ou. Lèfini, pou fè konnen se mwen menm ki voye ou, men sa w'a fè: lè w'a fin fè pèp la soti kite peyi Lejip, n'a sèvi m' sou mòn sa a.

13 Moses said to God: Lo, I shall go to the children of Israel, and say to them: The God of your fathers hath sent me to you. If they should say to me: What is his name? what shall I say to them?

Moyiz di Bondye konsa: -Bon. Koulye a, mwen pral bò kote pèp Izrayèl la, mwen pral di yo: Bondye zansèt nou yo voye m' kote nou. Ou mèt sèten yo pral mande m': Ki jan li rele? Lè sa a, kisa pou m' reponn yo?

14 God said to Moses: I AM WHO AM. He said: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: HE WHO IS, hath sent me to you.

Bondye di Moyiz: -Sa m' ye a se sa m' ye. Apre sa li di ankò: -W'a pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo konsa: Mwen menm ki rele sa m' ye a, se mwen menm ki voye ou bò kote yo.

15 And God said again to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

Bondye di Moyiz ankò: -Men sa pou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Izarak la, Bondye Jakòb la, voye m' bò kote nou. Wi, se konsa mwen rele. Se konsa y'ap toujou rele m' sou latè de tit an tit.

16 Go, gather together the ancients of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying: Visiting I have visited you: and I have seen all that hath befallen you in Egypt.

Ale non. Reyini tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, di yo: Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, Bondye Abraram lan, Bondye Izarak la, Bondye Jakòb la, te parèt devan mwen. Li mande m' pou m' di nou pou li: Mwen vin vizite nou, mwen wè sa moun peyi Lejip yo ap fè nou pase.

17 And I have said the word to bring you forth out of the affliction of Egypt, into the land of the Chanaanite, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite, to a land that floweth with milk and honey.

Se poutèt sa mwen di: M'ap fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip kote y'ap maltrete nou an. M'ap mennen nou nan peyi moun Kanaran yo, moun Et yo, moun Amori yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi ak moun Jebis yo. Se yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo.

18 And they shall hear thy voice: and thou shalt go in, thou and the ancients of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews hath called us: we will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, to sacrifice unto the Lord our God.

Chèf fanmi yo va koute sa ou gen pou di yo. Apre sa, wava ale bò kote wa Lejip la ansanm ak chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo, n'a di wa a: Seyè a, Bondye ebre yo, te parèt devan nou. Kite n al fe yon ti vwayaj nan dezè a. Lè n'a fin mache pandan twa jou, n'a rete pou n' touye bèt n'ap ofri bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an.

19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, but by a mighty hand.

Mwen konnen wa peyi Lejip la p'ap kite nou ale, si yo pa fòse l'.

20 For I will stretch forth my hand and will strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of them: after these he will let you go.

Se poutèt sa, m'ap lonje men m', m'ap frape peyi Lejip. M'ap fè tout kalite mirak nan peyi a. Apre sa, l'a kite nou ale.

21 And I will give favour to this people, in the sight of the Egyptians: and when you go forth, you shall not depart empty:

m'a fè mèvèy jouk tan moun peyi Lejip yo va aji byen ak pèp mwen an. Konsa, lè n'a pare pou nou pati kite yo, nou p'ap soti san anyen nan men nou.

22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is in her house, vessels of silver and of gold, and raiment: and you shall put them on your sons and daughters, and shall spoil Egypt.

Chak fanm va mande vwazin li pou yo ba li rad ak bijou an ajan ak bijou an lò. L'a fè menm bagay la ak fanm pèyi Lejip ki rete lakay li yo. Lèfini, n'a mete yo sou pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo. Konsa, n'a pran tou sa moun peyi Lejip yo genyen.
