< Exodus 33 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, “Go, ascend from this [place], you and the people, whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I give it to your seed.
Seyè a di Moyiz: -Leve non, ou menm ak tout pèp ou te fè soti kite Lejip la. Kite kote nou ye a. Pran chemen pou n' ale nan peyi mwen te sèmante bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la, lè m' te di yo m'ap ba yo tè sa a pou pitit pitit yo.
2 And I have sent a Messenger before you, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
M'ap voye yonn nan zanj mwen yo devan nou. M'ap mete moun Kanaran yo, moun Amori yo, moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, ak moun Jebis yo deyò sou tè yo a.
3 [Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in your midst, for you [are] a stiff-necked people—lest I consume you in the way.”
Ale. W'ap rive nan yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Men, se pa mwen menm menm ki prale ansanm ak nou, paske nou se yon bann moun ki gen tèt di, mwen ta ka touye nou sou wout la.
4 And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none puts his ornaments on him.
Lè pèp la tande move nouvèl sa a, yon sèl lapenn pran yo. Tout moun refize pote bijou sou yo.
5 And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel: You [are] a stiff-necked people; [in] one moment I could come up into your midst and could have consumed you; and now, put down your ornaments from off you, and I know what I do to you”;
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Di pitit Izrayèl yo se yon bann moun ki gen tèt di yo ye. Si se pou m' ta ale ak yo, menm yon sèl ti kadè, mwen ta fin estèminen yo nèt. Koulye a, se pou yo wete tout bijou yo gen sou yo. Lè sa a m'a wè, sa m' ka fè pou yo.
6 and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.
Se konsa, depi sou mòn Orèb, moun Izrayèl yo pa janm pote bijou ankò sou yo.
7 And Moses takes the tent, and has stretched it out at the outside of the camp, far off from the camp, and has called it, “Tent of Meeting”; and it has come to pass, everyone seeking YHWH goes out to the Tent of Meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.
Moyiz pran tant lan, li mete l' yon ti distans an deyò limit kan kote yo te enstale a. Li rele l' Tant Randevou a. Tout moun ki te bezwen pale ak Seyè a te blije soti nan kan an pou ale nan Tant Randevou a.
8 And it has come to pass, at the going out of Moses to the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.
Chak fwa Moyiz te soti pou l al nan tant lan, tout pèp la te fèt pou kanpe, chak moun devan papòt kay yo, ap gade Moyiz jouk li antre nan tant lan.
9 And it has come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud comes down, and has stood at the opening of the tent, and He has spoken with Moses;
Depi Moyiz antre nan tant lan, poto nwaj la desann, li kanpe sou papòt tant lan. Epi Seyè a pran pale ak Moyiz.
10 and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.
Lè tout moun wè poto nwaj la kanpe nan papòt tant lan, yo leve, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan papòt kay pa yo.
11 And YHWH has spoken to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend; and he has turned back to the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, does not depart out of the tent.
Seyè a te konn pale fasafas ak Moyiz tankou yon moun k'ap pale ak zanmi l'. Apre sa, Moyiz te tounen nan kan kote pèp la te enstale a. Men, te gen yon jenn gason yo te rele Jozye, pitit gason Noum lan, ki t'ap sèvi ak Moyiz. Li menm, li pa t' janm kite tant lan.
12 And Moses says to YHWH, “See, You are saying to me, Bring up this people, and You have not caused me to know whom You send with me; and You have said, I have known you by name, and you have also found grace in My eyes.
Moyiz di Seyè a: -Ala ou di m' fè pèp la moute ale nan peyi a, men ou pa di m' kilès w'ap voye avè m' pou ede m'. Men, koulye a ou di m' ou konnen m' byen, ou konnen ki moun mwen ye. Ou kontan mwen anpil.
13 And now, if, please, I have found grace in Your eyes, please cause me to know Your way, and I know You, so that I find grace in Your eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Your people”;
Bon, si ou kontan m' vre, tanpri, fè m' konnen lide ou gen nan tèt ou pou m' ka konnen ki moun ou ye, pou m' ka toujou fè ou plezi. Chonje tou, pèp sa a se pa ou li ye wi!
14 and He says, “My presence goes, and I have given rest to you.”
Seyè a reponn: -Se mwen menm k'ap mache avè ou. M'ap fè ou jwenn repo.
15 And he says to Him, “If Your presence is not going—do not take us up from this [place];
Moyiz di l': -Si se pa ou menm menm k'ap mache avè nou, ou pa bezwen kite nou soti isit la.
16 and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Your eyes—I and Your people—is it not in Your going with us? And we have been distinguished—I and Your people—from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.”
Lè ou gade byen, ki jan pou mwen fè konnen ou konsidere m' anpil, mwen menm ansanm ak pèp ou a? Eske se pa lè ou mache ak nou? Si ou mache ak nou, tout moun va rekonèt mwen menm ansanm ak pèp la, nou pa menm ak lòt pèp ki sou latè yo.
17 And YHWH says to Moses, “Even this thing which you have spoken I do; for you have found grace in My eyes, and I know you by name.”
Seyè a di Moyiz: -m'a fè sa ou mande m' lan, paske ou fè kè m' kontan anpil. Mwen konnen ki moun ou ye.
18 And he says, “Please show me Your glory”;
Moyiz di l': -Tanpri, fè m' wè pouvwa ou!
19 and He says, “I cause all My goodness to pass before your face, and have called concerning the Name of YHWH before you, and favored him whom I favor, and loved him whom I love.”
Lè sa a Seyè a reponn li: -M'ap fè ou wè jan m' gen bon kè, m'ap nonmen non m' devan ou. M'ap fè moun mwen vle gras, m'ap gen pitye pou moun mwen vle gen pitye.
20 He also says, “You are unable to see My face, for man does not see Me and live”;
Seyè a pale ankò, li di-Ou p'ap kapab wè figi m', paske ankenn moun sou latè pa kapab wè figi m' pou l' kontinye ap viv apre sa.
21 YHWH also says, “Behold, a place [is] by Me, and you have stood on the rock,
Li di ankò: -Men yon ti plas bò kote m'. W'a kanpe sou ròch sa a.
22 and it has come to pass, in the passing by of My glory, that I have set you in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over you until My passing by,
Lè pouvwa mwen vin ap pase, m'ap mete ou nan twou ròch la, m'a kouvri ou avèk men mwen jouk mwen fin pase.
23 and I have turned aside My hands, and you have seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.”
Apre sa, m'a wete men m' sou ou. Se do m' ase w'a wè ki prale, men ou p'ap wè figi m'.
