Exodus 19
1 In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai,
Moun Izrayèl yo te gen de mwa depi yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la. Premye jou twazyèm mwa a, yo rive nan dezè Sinayi a.
2 and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encamps there before the mountain.
Lè yo kite Refidim, yo rive nan dezè Sinayi a. Se la yo moute tant yo, anfas mòn lan.
3 And Moses has gone up to God, and YHWH calls to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel:
Moyiz moute sou mòn lan, l' al bò kote Bondye. Seyè a rete sou tèt mòn lan, li rele Moyiz, li di l': -Men sa pou ou di moun fanmi Jakòb yo, men sa pou ou fè pèp Izrayèl la konnen:
4 You have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and [how] I carry you on eagles’ wings and bring you to Myself.
Seyè a pale, li voye di nou konsa: Nou wè sa mwen te fè moun peyi Lejip yo. Nou wè ki jan mwen te pote nou tankou malfini pote pitit li yo sou do li, mwen fè nou vin jwenn mwen.
5 And now, if you really listen to My voice, then you have kept My covenant, and have been a special treasure to Me more than all the peoples, for all the earth [is] Mine;
Koulye a menm, si nou koute sa mwen di nou, si nou kenbe kontra mwen an, se nou menm m'ap chwazi pou moun pa m' nan mitan tout pèp ki sou latè. Tout latè se pou mwen, se vre.
6 and you are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these [are] the words which you speak to the sons of Israel.”
Men nou menm, n'ap vini yon nasyon moun k'ap sèvi m' tankou prèt, yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou mwen. Wi, se sa pou ou di moun Izrayèl yo.
7 And Moses comes, and calls for [the] elderly of the people, and sets before them all these words which YHWH has commanded him;
Moyiz ale, li fè sanble tout chèf fanmi pèp la, li rapòte yo tou sa Seyè a te ba li lòd di yo.
8 and all the people answer together and say, “All that YHWH has spoken we do”; and Moses returns the words of the people to YHWH.
Tout pèp la reponn ansanm, yo di: -N'a fè tou sa Seyè a di nou fè. Apre sa, Moyiz al rapòte bay Seyè a repons pèp la.
9 And YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with you, and also believe in you for all time”; and Moses declares the words of the people to YHWH.
Seyè a di Moyiz: -M'ap vin jwenn ou nan yon gwo nwaj byen pwès. Konsa pèp la va tande lè m'ap pale avè ou, y'a toujou kwè nan ou. Moyiz rakonte Seyè a sa pèp la te reponn.
10 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to the people and you have sanctified them today and tomorrow, and they have washed their garments,
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ale bò kote pèp la. Fè yo pran jounen jòdi a ak jounen denmen an pou yo mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen. Se pou yo lave rad yo.
11 and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day YHWH comes down on Mount Sinai before the eyes of all the people.
Se pou yo pare pou twazyèm jou a. Paske, sou twa jou mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap desann sou mòn Sinayi a pou tout moun ka wè m'.
12 And you have made a border [for] the people all around, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mountain or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mountain is certainly put to death;
W'a mete yon limit toutalantou mòn lan pou pèp la pa depase. W'a avèti yo pou yo pa moute sou mòn lan, ni pou pesonn pa menm pwoche bò pye mòn lan. Nenpòt moun ki va mete pye sou mòn lan, se pou yo touye l'.
13 a hand does not come against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man—it does not live; in the prolonging of the ram’s horn they go up into the mountain.”
y'a kalonnen l' kout ròch osinon y'a pèse l' ak kout flèch jouk li mouri, san pesonn p'ap bezwen manyen li ak men yo. Kit se yon moun, kit se yon bèt, se pou yo touye l'. Lè y'a tande kòn lan kònen, se lè sa a y'a moute sou mòn lan.
14 And Moses comes down from the mountain to the people, and sanctifies the people, and they wash their garments;
Moyiz desann soti sou mòn lan, l' al bò kote pèp la. Li fè yo mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Yo lave rad yo.
15 and he says to the people, “Be prepared for the third day, do not come near to a woman.”
Apre sa, Moyiz di yo: -Pare nou pou apre denmen. Pa kouche ak ankenn fanm.
16 And it comes to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very strong horn; and all the people who [are] in the camp tremble.
Sou twazyèm jou a vre, nan granmaten, loraj t'ap gwonde sou mòn lan. Te gen zèklè ak yon gwo nwaj byen pwès sou mòn lan tou. Yon twonpèt t'ap kònen byen fò. Tout moun t'ap tranble kou fèy bwa kote yo te ye a, sitèlman yo te pè.
17 And Moses brings out the people from the camp to meet God, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mountain,
Moyiz fè pèp la soti kote yo te moute tant yo a pou y al kontre Bondye. Yo rete nan pye mòn lan.
18 and Mount Sinai [is] wholly [in] smoke from the presence of YHWH, who has come down on it in fire, and its smoke goes up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mountain trembles exceedingly;
Tout mòn Sinayi a te kouvri nèt ak lafimen, paske Seyè a te desann sou li nan mitan yon gwo dife. Lafimen t'ap moute tankou nan yon fou lacho. Tout mòn lan t'ap tranble avèk fòs.
19 and the sound of the horn is going on, and [is] very strong; Moses speaks, and God answers him with a voice.
Twonpèt la t'ap kònen pi fò toujou. Moyiz t'ap pale, Bondye t'ap reponn li byen fò avèk yon bri ou ta di yon bri loraj.
20 And YHWH comes down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and YHWH calls for Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses goes up.
Seyè a desann sou mòn Sinayi a, sou tèt mòn lan menm. Li rele Moyiz sou tèt mòn lan. Moyiz moute al jwenn li.
21 And YHWH says to Moses, “Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through to YHWH to see, and many of them have fallen;
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Desann, avèti pèp la pou yo pa depase limit la, paske yo ka pran kouri vin gade mwen. Lè sa a, anpil ladan yo ta kapab mouri.
22 and also the priests who are coming near to YHWH sanctify themselves, lest YHWH break forth on them.”
Ata prèt yo ki ka pwoche bò kote m', se pou yo mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sa tou. Si se pa sa, mwen ka touye yo.
23 And Moses says to YHWH, “The people [are] unable to come up to Mount Sinai, for You have protested to us, saying, Make a border [for] the mountain, then you have sanctified it.”
Moyiz di Seyè a: -Pèp la p'ap kapab moute sou mòn Sinayi a, paske se ou menm ki defann yo moute, lè ou te di: Trase yon limit toutalantou mòn lan, mete l' apa pou mwen.
24 And YHWH says to him, “Go, descend, then you have come up, you and Aaron with you; and the priests and the people do not break through to come up to YHWH, lest He break forth on them.”
Lè sa a Seyè a di Moyiz: -Desann non. Epi tounen ansanm ak Arawon. Men pa kite prèt yo ak pèp la depase limit ou te ba yo a pou yo kouri vin kote m'. Si yo fè sa, m'ap touye yo.
25 And Moses goes down to the people and speaks to them.
Moyiz desann bò kote pèp la, li di yo tout bagay.
