Exodus 3
1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even 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 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, 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 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, 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 And 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. And he said, Here am I.
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 And he said, Come not near here: put off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou standest 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 thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon 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 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason 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 And I am come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good land and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, 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 therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me: and I have also 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 thee to Pharaoh, that thou mayest 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 he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token to thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon 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, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say to 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, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, I AM hath 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, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
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 Israel together, and say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, 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 Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, 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 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD 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 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
Men Mwen konnen ke wa Égypte la p ap kite nou ale, sof ke pa lafòs.
20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite 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 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
“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 neighbour, and of her that dwelleth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye 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.’”
