< Exodus 33 >
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward, go up hence, you and your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed.
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 at the same time my angel before your face, and he shall cast out the Amorite and the Chettite, and the Pherezite and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and Chananite.
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 And I will bring you into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with you, because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you by 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 the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.
Lè pèp la te tande pawòl tris sa yo, yo te antre nan gwo doulè, e pèsòn pa t abiye avèk òneman yo.
5 For the Lord said to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people; take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then put off your glorious apparel, and [your] ornaments, and I will show you what I will do to you.
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 So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.
Konsa, soti Mòn Horeb pou rive pi lwen, fis Israël yo te retire tout òneman yo nèt sou yo menm.
7 And Moses took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony: and it came to pass [that] every one that sought the Lord went forth to the tabernacle which was without 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 whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.
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 when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and [God] talked to 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 the cloud standing by the door of the tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshipped every one at the door 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 the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.
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 the Lord, Behold! you say to me, Lead on this people; but you have not showed me whom you will send with me, but you have said to me, I know you above all, and you have favor with me.
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 If then I have found favor in your sight, reveal yourself to me, that I may evidently see you; that I may find favor in your sight, and that I may know that this great nation [is] your 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 says, I myself will go before you, and give you rest.
Konsa, Li te di: “Prezans Mwen va ale avèk ou, e Mwen va bay ou repo.”
15 And he says to him, If you go not up with us yourself, bring me 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 surely known, that both I and this people have found favor with you, except only if you go with us? So both I and your people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon 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 the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for you this thing, which you have spoken; for you have found grace before me, and I know you above all.
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 [Moses] says, Manifest yourself to me.
Konsa, Moïse te di: “Mwen priye Ou, montre m glwa Ou!”
19 And [God] said, I will pass by before you with my glory, and I will call by my name, the Lord, before you; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.
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 [God] said, You shall not be able to see my face; for no man shall see my face, 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 the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: you shall stand upon the rock;
SENYÈ a te di: “Gade byen, gen yon plas bò kote Mwen. Ou va kanpe la sou wòch la.
22 and when my glory shall pass by, then I will put you into a hole of the rock; and I will cover you over with my hand, until I shall 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 remove my hand, and then shall you see my back parts; but my face shall not appear to you.
Alò, Mwen va retire men M, e ou va wè do Mwen, men figi M p ap vizib.”
