Exodus 3

1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to 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 angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

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 now turn aside, 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 turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

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, Draw not nigh here: put off your shoes from off your feet, for the place whereon you stand 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 Moreover he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon 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, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

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 I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

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 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

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 Come now therefore, and I will send you unto Pharaoh, that you may 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 unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I 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, Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be a token unto you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, all of you shall serve 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 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto 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 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto 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 moreover unto Moses, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto 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, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to 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, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing 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 hearken to your voice: and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and all of you shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us: and now let us go, we plead to you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to 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 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

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

20 And I will stretch out my hand, and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that 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 this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when all of you go, all of you shall not go 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 borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and all of you shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and all of you shall spoil the Egyptians.

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.
