Exodus 33
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses—Get thee away, go up from hence, thou, and the people whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, —into the land of which I sware to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed, will I give it;
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 before thee a messenger, -and will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite;
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 into a land flowing with milk and honey, —for I will not go up in thy midst in that a stiff-necked people, thou art, lest I consume thee in 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 when the people heard these evil tidings, they afflicted themselves, —and they put not, any man, his ornaments upon him.
Lè pèp la te tande pawòl tris sa yo, yo te antre nan gwo doulè, e pèsòn pa t abiye avèk òneman yo.
5 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye, are a stiff-necked people, in one moment—if I should go up in thy midst, should I make an end of thee, —Now, therefore lay down thine ornaments from off thee, that I may see what I must do with thee.
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 then the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, [and moved on] from Mount Horeb.
Konsa, soti Mòn Horeb pou rive pi lwen, fis Israël yo te retire tout òneman yo nèt sou yo menm.
7 And, Moses, proceeded to take a tent, and pitch it by itself outside the camp, afar off from the camp, and he called it, The Tent of Meeting, —and so it came to pass that whosoever was seeking Yahweh went out unto the tent of meeting, which was on the outside of 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 it came about, that, when Moses went out unto the tent, all the people used to rise up, and station themselves every man at the opening of his tent, —and they watched Moses, until he entered the tent.
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 it came to pass that when Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud came down, and stood at the opening of the tent, —and spake with 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 when all the people beheld the pillar of cloud, standing at the opening of the tent, then all the people rose up and bowed themselves down, every man at the entrance 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 Thus Yahweh used to speak unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend, —and when he returned unto the camp, his attendant Joshua son of Nun, a young man, moved not from the midst of the tent.
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 Then said Moses, unto Yahweh, See! thou art saying unto me—Take up this people, and yet thou hast no let me know whom thou wilt send with me, —though thou thyself, didst say—I acknowledge thee by name, Yea, moreover, thou hast found favour in mine eyes.
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 Now, therefore, if, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, let me know, I beseech thee, thy way, that I may acknowledge thee, to the intent I may find favour in thine eyes, —see thou, therefore, that this nation is thine own 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 So then he said, —Mine own presence, shall go on thus will I give thee rest.
Konsa, Li te di: “Prezans Mwen va ale avèk ou, e Mwen va bay ou repo.”
15 And he said unto him, If thy presence is not going on, do not take us up from hence.
Epi Moïse te di Li: “Si prezans Ou p ap prale avèk nou, pa mennen nou monte isit la.
16 Whereby, indeed, shall it be known then that I have found favour in thine eyes, I, and thy people? Shall it not be, by thy going on with us? So shall we be more distinguished, I, and thy people, than any people that are on the face of the ground.
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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Even this thing, which thou hast spoken, will I do—For thou hast found favour in mine eyes, And I have acknowledged thee by name.
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 he said, —Show me, I pray thee, thy glory.
Konsa, Moïse te di: “Mwen priye Ou, montre m glwa Ou!”
19 And he said, —I, will cause all my goodness to pass before thee. And will proclaim myself by the name Yahweh, before thee, And will show favour, unto whom I may show favour, And will have compassion on whom I may have compassion.
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 But he said—Thou canst not see my face, For no son of earth can see me, 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 Yahweh, said, Lo! a place near me, —So then thou shalt station thyself upon the rock:
SENYÈ a te di: “Gade byen, gen yon plas bò kote Mwen. Ou va kanpe la sou wòch la.
22 And it shall be while my glory passeth by, I will put thee in the cleft of the rock, —and will cover thee with my hand while I pass 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 Then will I take away my hand, and thou shalt see behind me, But, my face, must not be seen.
Alò, Mwen va retire men M, e ou va wè do Mwen, men figi M p ap vizib.”
