Exodus 6
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Se koulye a ou pral wè sa m' pral fè farawon an. Mwen pral fè l' santi fòs ponyèt mwen. Vle pa vle, l'ap kite yo ale. Wi, m'ap fòse l' sitèlman, se mete l'ap mete yo deyò nan peyi l' a.
2 God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
Bondye pale ak Moyiz, li di l': -Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
3 I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].
Mwen te fè Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb konnen m' sou non Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. Mwen pa t' fè yo konnen m' sou lòt non mwen an, ki vle di: Seyè a.
4 I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which they were living as foreigners.
Mwen te pase yon kontra ak yo, mwen te pwomèt pou m' te ba yo peyi Kanaran an, peyi kote yo te viv tankou etranje a.
5 Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].
Koulye a, mwen tande jan pèp Izrayèl la ap plenn. Moun peyi Lejip yo fè yo tounen esklav. Mwen vin chonje kontra mwen te pase ak yo a.
6 So tell the Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.
Men sa ou pral di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Se mwen menm menm ki Seyè a. M'ap ban nou libète nou, m'ap wete nou nan travay di moun peyi Lejip yo ap fòse nou fè a. M'ap delivre nou anba esklavaj kote yo mete nou an. M'ap lonje bra m' pou m' delivre nou, pou pini moun peyi Lejip yo byen pini.
7 I will cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.
M'ap adopte nou pou pèp mwen, mwen menm m'a Bondye nou. N'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki ban nou libète nou, ki wete nou nan travay di moun peyi Lejip yo ap fòse nou fè a.
8 And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”
Apre sa, m'ap mennen nou tounen nan peyi mwen te sèmante m'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap ban nou peyi sa a pou l' rele nou chèmèt.
9 Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].
Moyiz di pèp Izrayèl la sa, men yo pa t' vle kwè l', paske yo te about. Esklavaj la te peze lou sou yo.
10 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:
11 “Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
-Ale bò kote farawon an, wa Lejip la. Di l' konsa pou l' kite pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi l' la.
12 But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]
Men, Moyiz di Seyè a: -Ata pèp Izrayèl la pa t' koute m', atò se farawon an ki ta koute m'? Mwen tou pa konn pale.
13 But Yahweh spoke to Aaron and Moses/me and commanded them/us, “Tell the Israeli people and the king of Egypt that I have [commissioned you two] to lead the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon. Li ba yo lòd pale ak pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak farawon an, wa Lejip la, pou fè yo konnen yo tou de te resevwa lòd fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip.
14 (Here is/I will now give you) a list of the ancestors of [Moses/me and Aaron]: The sons of Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, [were] Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. They were [ancestors of] the clans [that have those same names].
Men non chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo: Woubenn, premye pitit Izrayèl la. Se li ki papa Enòk, Palou, Ezwon ak Kami. Se tout fanmi Woubenn lan sa.
15 The sons of Simeon [were] Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul. Shaul’s mother was a woman from the Canaan people-group. Those men also were [ancestors of] clans [that have those same names].
Apre li vin Simeyon. Men non pitit Simeyon yo: Jemwèl, Jamen, Arad, Jaken, Taoska ak Sayil, yon pitit li te fè ak yon fanm moun peyi Kanaran. Se tout fanmi Simeyon yo sa.
16 These are the names of the sons of Levi, in the order in which they were born: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi was 137 years old [when he died].
Apre li vin Levi. Men non pitit Levi yo ak tout pitit yo: Gèchon, Keyat ak Merari. Levi te viv santrannsetan (137 an).
17 The sons of Gershon [were] Libni and Shimei. They were ancestors of clans that have those names.
Men pitit Gèchon yo ak tout fanmi yo: Libni ak Chimeyi.
18 The sons of Kohath [were] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath was 133 years old [when he died].
Men pitit Keyat yo: Amram, Jizeya, Ebwon ak Ouzyèl. Keyat te viv antou santranntwazan (133 an).
19 The sons of Merari [were] Mahli and Mushi. All of those people whose names [I have listed] belonged to tribes/clans descended from Levi, in the order in which they were born.
Men pitit Merari yo: Makli ak Mouchi. Se tout branch fanmi Levi yo sa ansanm ak pitit yo.
20 Amram married his father’s sister, Jochebed. She was the mother of Aaron and Moses/me. Amram was 137 years old [when he died].
Amram te marye ak Jokebèd, ki matant li bò papa. Jokebèd te fè Arawon ak Moyiz pou li. Amram te viv antou santrannsetan (137 an).
21 The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.
Men pitit Jizeya yo: Kore, Nefèg ak Zikri.
22 The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.
Men pitit Ouzyèl yo: Mikayèl, Elsafan ak Sitri.
23 Aaron married Elisheba. She was the daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon. Elisheba gave birth to [four sons]: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Arawon te marye ak Elicheba, pitit fi Aminadab, sè Nakchon. Elicheba te fè Nadab, Abiyou, Eleaza ak ltama pou Arawon.
24 The sons of Korah [were] Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. They were the ancestors of the Korah people-group.
Men non pitit Kore yo: Asi, Elkana ak Abyazaf. Se tout fanmi Kore yo sa.
25 Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she gave birth to Phinehas. [That ends the list of] the families and clans that were descended from Levi.
Eleaza, pitit Arawon an, te marye ak yonn nan pitit fi Poutyèl yo, ki te fè Fineas pou li. Men non tout chèf fanmi Levi yo ak tout moun pa yo.
26 Aaron and Moses/I were the ones to whom Yahweh said, “Lead all the families and clans of the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
Se menm Arawon sa a ansanm ak Moyiz Seyè a te di: Fè pitit Izrayèl yo soti kite peyi Lejip la, gwoup pa gwoup.
27 They/We were the ones who spoke to the king of Egypt about bringing the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Se yo menm tou ki t al di farawon an, wa Lejip la, pou l' fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite Lejip. Wi, se Arawon sa a avèk Moyiz sa a ki te fè tou sa.
28 On the day that Yahweh spoke to Moses/me in Egypt,
Lè Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz nan peyi Lejip la, men sa li te di l':
29 he said, “I am Yahweh. You must tell the king everything that I say to you.”
-Se mwen menm ki Seyè a! Tou sa mwen di ou la a, se pou ou rapòte l' bay farawon an, wa Lejip la.
30 But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen to me. I am not a good speaker. [MET, MTY] So (the king will certainly not pay attention to what I say/why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?)!” [RHQ]
Men Moyiz koupe pawòl nan bouch Seyè a, li di l': -Pawòl pa vin nan bouch mwen fasil. Ou kwè farawon an pral chita tande m'?
