Exodus 19
1 In the third month, when the children of Israel had gone forth from the land of Egypt, the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
Nan twazyèm mwa apre fis Israël yo te soti nan peyi Égypte la, nan jou sa a menm, yo te vin antre nan dezè Sinaï a.
2 For they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount.
Lè yo te pati soti Rephidim, yo te vini nan dezè Sinaï a. Yo te fè kan nan dezè a. Se la Israël te fè kan devan mòn lan.
3 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
Moïse te monte vè Bondye. SENYÈ a te rele li soti nan mòn nan. Li te di: “Konsa ou va pale ak lakay Jacob la pou di fis Israël yo:
4 Ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
‘Nou menm, nou te wè sa ke Mwen te fè Ejipsyen yo, jan Mwen te pote nou sou zèl èg yo, e te mennen nou kote Mwen menm.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a special treasure to me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
Alò, koulye a, si nou obeyi vwa Mwen, e kenbe akò Mwen, alò nou va pwòp posesyon pa M pami tout pèp yo. Paske tout latè se pou Mwen.
6 And ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.
Konsa, nou va pou Mwen, yon wayòm prèt yo, e yon nasyon ki sen.’ Sa yo se pawòl ke ou va pale a fis Israël yo.”
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
Se konsa Moïse te vini, e te rele ansyen pami pèp yo. Konsa, li te plase devan yo tout pawòl sa yo ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people to the LORD.
Tout pèp la te reponn ansanm. Yo te di: “Tout sa ke SENYÈ a te pale yo, nou va fè yo!” Epi Moïse te mennen retounen tout pawòl a pèp yo devan SENYÈ a.
9 And the LORD said to Moses, Lo, I come to thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Gade byen, Mwen va vini kote ou nan yon nwaj byen fonse, pou pèp la kapab tande lè M pale avèk ou, e pou yo kapab kwè nan ou pou tout tan.” Alò, Moïse te di SENYÈ a pawòl a pèp la.
10 And the LORD said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
SENYÈ a anplis te di a Moïse: “Ale vè pèp la, konsakre yo jodi a avèk demen, e kite yo lave vètman yo;
11 And be ready for the third day: for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
epi kite yo fin prepare pou twazyèm jou a, paske nan twazyèm jou a SENYÈ a va vin desann sou Mòn Sinaï a nan zye a tout pèp la.
12 And thou shalt set bounds to the people all around, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up upon the mount, or touch the border of it: whoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
“Ou va fè bòn limit pou pèp toutotou yo. Ou va di yo: ‘Gade byen pou nou pa monte sou mòn nan, ni touche rebò li. Nenpòt moun ki touche mòn nan va anverite mete a lanmò.
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
Nanpwen men k ap mete sou moun sa a, men li va anverite lapide oswa frennen nèt; menm si se moun oswa bèt, li p ap viv.’ Lè twonpèt kòn lan fè yon gwo son, yo va monte vè mòn nan.”
14 And Moses went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
Epi Moïse te desann mòn nan vè pèp la. Li te konsakre pèp la, e yo te lave vètman yo.
15 And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day: come not at your wives.
Li te di a pèp la: “Mete ou prè pou twazyèm jou a; pa pwoche pre fanm.”
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that were in the camp trembled.
Konsa, li te rive nan twazyèm jou a, lè li te vin maten, te genyen gwo tonnè avèk kout loray avèk yon nwaj byen fonse sou mòn nan, ak yon son twonpèt byen fò, jiskaske tout moun ki te nan kan an te tranble.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the lower part of the mount.
Epi Moïse te mennen pèp la sòti nan kan an pou rankontre Bondye. Yo te kanpe nan pye mòn nan.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether in a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount trembled greatly.
Alò, Mòn Sinai te nan lafimen nèt akoz SENYÈ a te desann sou li nan dife. Lafimen li te monte tankou lafimen yon founo, e tout mòn nan te tranble avèk vyolans.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
Lè son twonpèt la te vin pi fò, e pi fò toujou, Moïse te pale, e Bondye te reponn avèk tonnè.
20 And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
SENYÈ a te vin desann sou Mòn Sinai, sou tèt mòn nan. Senyè a te rele Moïse anwo tèt mòn nan, epi Moïse te monte.
21 And the LORD said to Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse: “Ale desann avèti pèp la pou yo pa pase antre vè SENYÈ a pou wè; konsa, pou anpil nan yo ta vin mouri.
22 And let the priests also, who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
Osi, ke prèt ki pwoche toupre SENYÈ yo konsakre yo menm, oswa SENYÈ a va eklate kont yo.”
23 And Moses said to the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou didst charge us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
Moïse te di a SENYÈ a: “Pèp la pa kapab monte sou Mòn Sinai a, paske Ou te avèti nou, e te di: ‘Mete limit bòn yo antoure mòn nan, e konsakre li.’”
24 And the LORD said to him, Away, go down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale desann e monte ankò, ou menm e Aaron avèk ou. Men pa kite prèt yo, ni pèp la pase antre pou monte vè SENYÈ a, oswa L ap eklate sou yo.”
25 So Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
Konsa, Moïse te desann vè pèp la e te pale yo.
