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!”
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Alò, koulye a ou va wè kisa mwen va fè a Farawon. Paske anba yon men pwisan, li va lage yo, e anba yon men pwisan, li va pouse yo sòti nan peyi li a.”
2 God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
Bondye te pale plis avèk Moïse e te di li: “Mwen se SENYÈ 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 parèt a Abraham, Isaac, avèk Jacob, kòm Bondye Toupwisan an, men pa pwòp non Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen pa t janm fè yo rekonèt Mwen.
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 anplis etabli akò Mwen avèk yo, pou bay yo peyi Canaran an, peyi kote yo te rete kon etranje.
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].
Anplis de sa, Mwen tande kri fis Israël yo, akoz Ejipsyen yo k ap kenbe yo nan esklavaj, e Mwen sonje akò Mwen an.”
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.
“Pou sa, di a fis Israël yo: ‘Mwen menm se SENYÈ a. Mwen va mennen nou sòti anba fado Ejipsyen yo, e Mwen va delivre nou anba esklavaj pa yo a. Mwen va anplis delivre nou avèk yon bra byen lonje, e avèk gwo jijman.
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.
“‘Alò, Mwen va pran nou kòm pèp pa m, e Mwen va Bondye pa nou; epi nou va konnen ke Mwen menm se SENYÈ a, Bondye pa nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti anba fado Ejipsyen yo.
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].’”
Mwen va mennen nou nan peyi ke M te sèmante pou bay a Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob la, e Mwen va bannou li kòm posesyon. Mwen menm se SENYÈ a.’”
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].
Alò Moïse te pale konsa avèk fis Israël yo, men yo pa t koute Moïse akoz dekourajman avèk esklavaj di a.
10 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
11 “Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
“Ale pale Farawon, wa Égypte la, pou kite fis Israël yo sòti deyò peyi li a.”
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 Moïse te pale devan SENYÈ a e te di: “Gade byen, fis Israël yo pa t koute mwen. Alò, kijan Farawon ap koute mwen, paske mwen manke swa nan 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.”
Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse avèk Aaron. Li te bay yo yon lòd pou fis Israël yo ak pou Farawon, wa Égypte la pou mennen fis Israël yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la.
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].
Sa yo se te chèf an tèt yo pou lakay papa yo. Fis Ruben yo, premye ne a Israël la: Hénoc, Pallu, Hetsron avèk Carmi.
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].
Fis Siméon yo: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, ak Tsochar; epi Saül, fis a yon fanm Canaran. Sa yo se fanmi Siméon yo.
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].
Men non a fis Lévi yo avèk posterite pa yo: Guerschon, Kehath, ak Merari. Ane ke Lévi te viv yo se te san-trant-sèt ane.
17 The sons of Gershon [were] Libni and Shimei. They were ancestors of clans that have those names.
Fis Guerschon yo: Libni e Schimeï selon fanmi pa yo.
18 The sons of Kohath [were] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath was 133 years old [when he died].
Fis Kehath yo: Amram, Jitsehar, Hébron, avèk Uziel. Ane Kehath te viv yo te de-san-trann-twa ane.
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.
Fis Merari yo: Machli avèk Muschi. Sa yo se fanmi Lévi yo, avèk posterite pa 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 pran pou fanm Jokébed, tant li an; epi li te fè Aaron avèk Moïse. Ane ke Amram te viv yo te de-san-trann-sèt ane.
21 The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.
Fis Jitsehar yo: Koré, Népheg avèk Zicri.
22 The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.
Fis Uziel yo: Mischaël, Eltsaphan ak Sithri.
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.
Aaron te pran pou fanm Élischéba, fi ki pou Amminidab la, sè Nachschon an; epi li te fè pou li Nadab, Abihu, Éléazar avèk Ithamar kòm pitit.
24 The sons of Korah [were] Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. They were the ancestors of the Korah people-group.
Fis Koré yo; Assir, Elkana, avèk Abiasaph. Sa yo se fanmi tribi Korit yo.
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.
Éléazar, fis Aaron an, te marye ak youn nan fi Puthiel yo, e li te fè Phinées kòm pitit. Sa yo se chèf an tèt Levit yo selon fanmi 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 tout sa yo ke Senyè te pale lè l te di Aaron avèk Moïse: “Mennen fis Israël yo deyò nan peyi Égypte la selon chèf lame pa yo.”
27 They/We were the ones who spoke to the king of Egypt about bringing the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Se te menm sa yo ki te pale avèk Farawon, wa Égypte la, pou fè yo mennen fis Israël yo sòti an Égypte. Se te menm Moïse avèk Aaron sa a.
28 On the day that Yahweh spoke to Moses/me in Egypt,
Alò li te vin rive nan jou ke SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse nan peyi Égypte la,
29 he said, “I am Yahweh. You must tell the king everything that I say to you.”
ke SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse e te di: “Mwen se SENYÈ a. Pale ak Farawon, wa Égypte la, tout sa ke M pale ak ou yo.”
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 Moïse te di devan SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, lèv mwen yo pa sikonsi. Konsa, kijan Farawon va koute mwen?”
