< Exodus 19 >
1 In the third moneth, after the children of Israel were gone out of the lande of Egypt, the same day came they into the wildernes of Sinai.
Nan twazyèm mwa apre fis Israël yo te soti nan peyi Égypte la, nan jou sa a menm, yo te vin antre nan dezè Sinaï a.
2 For they departed from Rephidim, and came to the desart of Sinai, and camped in the wildernesse: euen there Israel camped before the mount.
Lè yo te pati soti Rephidim, yo te vini nan dezè Sinaï a. Yo te fè kan nan dezè a. Se la Israël te fè kan devan mòn lan.
3 But Moses went vp vnto God, for ye Lord had called out of the mount vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Iaakob, and tell the children of Israel,
Moïse te monte vè Bondye. SENYÈ a te rele li soti nan mòn nan. Li te di: “Konsa ou va pale ak lakay Jacob la pou di fis Israël yo:
4 Ye haue seene what I did vnto the Egyptians, and how I caryed you vpon eagles wings, and haue brought you vnto me.
‘Nou menm, nou te wè sa ke Mwen te fè Ejipsyen yo, jan Mwen te pote nou sou zèl èg yo, e te mennen nou kote Mwen menm.
5 Now therefore if ye wil heare my voyce in deede, and keepe my couenant, then ye shalbe my chiefe treasure aboue all people, though all the earth be mine.
Alò, koulye a, si nou obeyi vwa Mwen, e kenbe akò Mwen, alò nou va pwòp posesyon pa M pami tout pèp yo. Paske tout latè se pou Mwen.
6 Yee shall be vnto mee also a kingdome of Priestes, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel.
Konsa, nou va pou Mwen, yon wayòm prèt yo, e yon nasyon ki sen.’ Sa yo se pawòl ke ou va pale a fis Israël yo.”
7 Moses then came and called for the Elders of the people, and proposed vnto them all these things, which the Lord commanded him.
Se konsa Moïse te vini, e te rele ansyen pami pèp yo. Konsa, li te plase devan yo tout pawòl sa yo ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li.
8 And the people answered all together, and sayd, All that the Lord hath commanded, we will doe. And Moses reported the wordes of the people vnto the Lord.
Tout pèp la te reponn ansanm. Yo te di: “Tout sa ke SENYÈ a te pale yo, nou va fè yo!” Epi Moïse te mennen retounen tout pawòl a pèp yo devan SENYÈ a.
9 And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Lo, I come vnto thee in a thicke cloude, that the people may heare, whiles I talke with thee, and that they may also beleeue thee for euer. (for Moses had tolde the wordes of the people vnto the Lord)
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Gade byen, Mwen va vini kote ou nan yon nwaj byen fonse, pou pèp la kapab tande lè M pale avèk ou, e pou yo kapab kwè nan ou pou tout tan.” Alò, Moïse te di SENYÈ a pawòl a pèp la.
10 Moreouer, the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Goe to the people, and sanctifie them to day and to morow, and let them wash their clothes.
SENYÈ a anplis te di a Moïse: “Ale vè pèp la, konsakre yo jodi a avèk demen, e kite yo lave vètman yo;
11 And let them be ready on the third day: for the thirde day the Lord will come downe in the sight of all the people vpon mount Sinai:
epi kite yo fin prepare pou twazyèm jou a, paske nan twazyèm jou a SENYÈ a va vin desann sou Mòn Sinaï a nan zye a tout pèp la.
12 And thou shalt set markes vnto the people rounde about, saying, Take heede to your selues that ye goe not vp the mount, nor touche the border of it: whosoeuer toucheth the mount, shall surely die.
“Ou va fè bòn limit pou pèp toutotou yo. Ou va di yo: ‘Gade byen pou nou pa monte sou mòn nan, ni touche rebò li. Nenpòt moun ki touche mòn nan va anverite mete a lanmò.
13 No hand shall touche it, but he shalbe stoned to death, or striken through with darts: whether it be beast or man, he shall not liue: when the horne bloweth long, they shall come vp into the mountaine.
Nanpwen men k ap mete sou moun sa a, men li va anverite lapide oswa frennen nèt; menm si se moun oswa bèt, li p ap viv.’ Lè twonpèt kòn lan fè yon gwo son, yo va monte vè mòn nan.”
14 Then Moses went downe from ye mount vnto the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
Epi Moïse te desann mòn nan vè pèp la. Li te konsakre pèp la, e yo te lave vètman yo.
15 And he said vnto the people, Be ready on the third day, and come not at your wiues.
Li te di a pèp la: “Mete ou prè pou twazyèm jou a; pa pwoche pre fanm.”
16 And the thirde day, when it was morning, there was thunders and lightnings, and a thicke cloude vpon the mount, and the sounde of the trumpet exceeding loude, so that all the people, that was in the campe, was afrayde.
Konsa, li te rive nan twazyèm jou a, lè li te vin maten, te genyen gwo tonnè avèk kout loray avèk yon nwaj byen fonse sou mòn nan, ak yon son twonpèt byen fò, jiskaske tout moun ki te nan kan an te tranble.
17 Then Moses brought the people out of the tents to meete with God, and they stoode in the nether part of the mount.
Epi Moïse te mennen pèp la sòti nan kan an pou rankontre Bondye. Yo te kanpe nan pye mòn nan.
18 And mount Sinai was all on smoke, because the Lord came downe vpon it in fire, and the smoke therof ascended, as the smoke of a fornace, and all the mount trembled exceedingly.
Alò, Mòn Sinai te nan lafimen nèt akoz SENYÈ a te desann sou li nan dife. Lafimen li te monte tankou lafimen yon founo, e tout mòn nan te tranble avèk vyolans.
19 And when the sound of the trumpet blew long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by voyce.
Lè son twonpèt la te vin pi fò, e pi fò toujou, Moïse te pale, e Bondye te reponn avèk tonnè.
20 (For the Lord came downe vpon mount Sinai on the toppe of the mount) and when the Lord called Moses vp into the top of the mount, Moses went vp.
SENYÈ a te vin desann sou Mòn Sinai, sou tèt mòn nan. Senyè a te rele Moïse anwo tèt mòn nan, epi Moïse te monte.
21 Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go down, charge the people, that they breake not their boundes, to go vp to the Lord to gaze, least many of them perish.
SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse: “Ale desann avèti pèp la pou yo pa pase antre vè SENYÈ a pou wè; konsa, pou anpil nan yo ta vin mouri.
22 And let the Priestes also which come to the Lord be sanctified, least the Lord destroy them.
Osi, ke prèt ki pwoche toupre SENYÈ yo konsakre yo menm, oswa SENYÈ a va eklate kont yo.”
23 And Moses sayde vnto the Lord, The people can not come vp into the mount Sinai: for thou hast charged vs, saying, Set markes on the mountaine, and sanctifie it.
Moïse te di a SENYÈ a: “Pèp la pa kapab monte sou Mòn Sinai a, paske Ou te avèti nou, e te di: ‘Mete limit bòn yo antoure mòn nan, e konsakre li.’”
24 And the Lord sayd vnto him, Go, get thee downe, and come vp, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the Priestes and the people breake their boundes to come vp vnto the Lord, least he destroy them.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale desann e monte ankò, ou menm e Aaron avèk ou. Men pa kite prèt yo, ni pèp la pase antre pou monte vè SENYÈ a, oswa L ap eklate sou yo.”
25 So Moses went downe vnto the people, and tolde them.
Konsa, Moïse te desann vè pèp la e te pale yo.
