Exodus 3
1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God's mountain, to Horeb.
Alò, Moïse t ap swiv bann mouton Jétro a, bòpè li, prèt Madyan an. Li te mennen bann mouton an vè fas lwès nan dezè a, e li te vini Horeb, sou mòn Bondye a.
2 The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and look, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Zanj Bondye a te parèt kote li nan yon flanm dife ki t ap brile nan mitan yon ti bwa. Li te gade, e vwala, ti bwa a t ap fè flanm dife, men brile a pa t fè l disparèt.
3 Moses said, "I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."
Alò, Moïse te di: “Se fò pou m vire akote koulye a pou m al wè bagay etonan sila a, poukisa ti bwa a pa brile nèt.”
4 When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses. Moses." He said, "Here I am."
Lè SENYÈ a te wè ke li te vire akote pou gade, Bondye te rele li depi nan mitan ti bwa a, e te di: “Moïse, Moïse!” Li te di: “Men Mwen.”
5 He said, "Do not come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground."
Li te di: “Pa vin pre isit la. Retire sapat nan pye ou, paske plas kote ou kanpe a se tè sen.”
6 Moreover he said, "I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.
Li te di anplis: “Mwen se Bondye a zansèt ou yo, Bondye Abraham nan, Bondye a Isaac, e Bondye a Jacob la.” Moïse te kache figi li, paske li te pè gade Bondye.
7 The LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen vrèman te wè soufrans a pèp Mwen an ki an Égypte la, e Mwen te reponn a kri pa yo, akoz sila yo k ap peze yo, paske Mwen konnen soufrans yo.
8 I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Konsa, Mwen te desann pou delivre yo anba pouvwa Ejipsyen yo, pou mennen yo monte kite peyi sa a pou rive nan yon bon peyi byen vast, yon peyi k ap koule lèt ak myèl, nan plas kote Kananeyen yo avèk Etyen yo, Amoreyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo, Evyen yo, ak Jebizyen yo.
9 Now, look, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
Alò, gade byen kri fis Israël yo gen tan rive devan M. Anplis, Mwen te wè avèk ki opresyon Ejipsyen yo ap oprime yo a.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."
Pou sa, vin koulye a, e Mwen va voye ou kote Farawon, pou ou kapab mennen fis Israël yo soti an Égypte.”
11 And Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"
Men Moïse te di Bondye: “Kilès mwen ye, pou mwen ta ale kote Farawon, e pou m ta mennen fis Israël yo soti an Égypte?”
12 And God spoke to Moses, saying, "Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain."
Li te di: “Anverite, Mwen va avèk ou. Men sign a ou menm ke se Mwen ki te voye ou; lè ou fin mete pèp la deyò Égypte, ou va adore Bondye sou mòn sila a.”
13 And Moses said to God, "Look, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you;' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' What should I tell them?"
Epi Moïse te reponn Bondye: “Gade byen, lè m ale kote fis Israël yo, e Mwen va di yo: ‘Bondye a zansèt nou yo te voye mwen vè nou.’ Alò, yo kab petèt di mwen: ‘Kòman yo rele Li?’ Kisa m ap di yo?”
14 And God said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM," and he said, "You shall tell the children of Israel this: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
Bondye te di a Moïse: “Mwen Se ke Mwen Ye!” epi Li te di: “Konsa ou va pale a fis Israël yo: ‘Mwen Se te voye mwen kote nou.’”
15 And God said moreover to Moses, "You shall tell the children of Israel this, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation.
Bondye, anplis ke sa te di a Moïse: “Konsa ou va di a fis Israël yo, ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo a, Bondye Abraham nan, Bondye Isaac la, e Bondye a Jacob la, te voye mwen vin kote nou.’ Sa se non Mwen pou tout tan, e sa se non Mwen k ap nan memwa a tout jenerasyon yo.
16 Go, and gather the elders of the children of Israel together, and tell them, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt;
‘Ale rasanble tout ansyen an Israël yo ansanm e di yo: SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo a, Bondye Abraham nan, Isaac, ak Jacob la, te parèt kote mwen e te di: “Mwen anverite te vizite nou menm, e Mwen te wè sa k ap fèt a nou menm an Égypte la.
17 and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey."'
“‘Epi Mwen te di: ‘Mwen va mennen nou soti deyò pou kite afliksyon Égypte la, pou rive nan peyi ki pou Kananeyen yo, Etyen yo, Amoreyen yo ak Ferezyen yo, Evyen yo, ak Jebizyen yo nan yon peyi ki koule lèt ak myèl.’”
18 They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, 'The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to our God.'
“Yo va koute sa ke ou di yo a. Konsa, ou menm avèk ansyen an Israël yo va vin kote wa Égypte la, e nou va di li: ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo, te rankontre ansanm avèk nou. Pou sa, souple, kite nou fè yon vwayaj distans a twa jou nan dezè a, pou nou kapab fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.’
19 I know that the king of Egypt won't give you permission to go, except by a mighty hand.
Men Mwen konnen ke wa Égypte la p ap kite nou ale, sof ke pa lafòs.
20 I will put forth my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that he will let you go.
“Pou sa Mwen va lonje men M pou frape Égypte avèk tout zèv etonan ke Mwen va fè nan mitan tout sa. Epi apre sa, li va kite nou ale.
21 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.
“Mwen va bay favè a pèp sa a devan zye Ejipsyen yo, e sa va fè ke lè nou prale, nou p ap soti men vid.
22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.
Men chak fanm va mande a vwazen li ak fanm ki rete lakay li a pou bay li kèk bagay ki fèt an ajan, avèk kèk bagay ki fèt an lò avèk rad yo. Nou va mete yo sou fis nou ak fi nou yo. Se konsa nou va piyaje Ejipsyen yo.’”
