Exode 6
1 Le Seigneur dit à Moïse: C’est maintenant que tu verras ce que je vais faire à Pharaon; car par l’effet d’une main puissante il les laissera aller, et en vertu d’une main forte, il les pressera de sortir de son pays.
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!”
2 Le Seigneur parla encore à Moïse, disant: Je suis le Seigneur,
God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
3 Qui ai apparu à Abraham, à Isaac et à Jacob en Dieu tout-puissant; mais mon nom Adonaï, je ne le leur ai pas manifesté.
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].
4 Et j’ai fait alliance avec eux, afin de leur donner la terre de Chanaan, terre de leur pèlerinage dans laquelle ils ont été étrangers.
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.
5 J’ai entendu le gémissement des enfants d’Israël, que les Egyptiens ont opprimés; et je me suis souvenu de mon alliance.
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].
6 C’est pourquoi dis aux enfants d’Israël: Je suis le Seigneur qui vous tirerai de la prison des Egyptiens, et vous délivrerai de la servitude: et je vous rachèterai par un bras élevé et de grands jugements.
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.
7 Et je vous prendrai pour mon peuple, et je serai votre Dieu; ainsi vous saurez que c’est moi, qui suis le Seigneur votre Dieu, qui vous aurai tirés de la prison des Egyptiens,
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.
8 Et fait entrer dans la terre, sur laquelle j’ai levé la main, jurant que je la donnerais à Abraham, à Isaac et à Jacob; car je vous la donnerai en possession, moi le Seigneur.
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].’”
9 Moïse raconta donc toutes ces choses aux enfants d’Israël, qui ne l’écoutèrent pas à cause de l’angoisse de leur esprit et de leur travail très pénible.
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].
10 Et le Seigneur parla à Moïse, disant:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 Entre, et parle à Pharaon, roi d’Egypte, pour qu’il laisse sortir les enfants d’Israël de son pays.
“Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
12 Moïse répondit devant le Seigneur: Voilà que les enfants d’Israël ne m’écoutent pas: et comment Pharaon m’écoutera-t-il, surtout moi étant incirconcis des lèvres?
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]
13 C’est ainsi que le Seigneur parla à Moïse et Aaron et qu’il leur donna ses ordres pour les enfants d’Israël et pour Pharaon, roi d’Egypte, afin qu’ils fissent sortir les enfants d’Israël de la terre d’Egypte.
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.”
14 Voici les chefs des maisons selon leurs familles: Les fils de Ruben, premier-né d’Israël: Hénoch et Phallu, Hesron et Charmi:
(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].
15 C’est là la parenté de Ruben. Les fils de Siméon: Jamuel, Jamin, Ahod, Jachin, Soar et Saül, fils d’une Chananéenne. C’est là la race de Siméon.
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].
16 Et voici les noms des fils de Lévi, selon leur parenté: Gerson, Caath et Mérari. Or les années de la vie de Lévi furent cent trente-sept.
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].
17 Les fils de Gerson: Lobni et Séméi, selon leur parenté.

The sons of Kohath [were] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath was 133 years old [when he died].
19 Les fils de Mérari: Moholi et Musi: c’est là la parenté de Lévi selon ses familles.
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.
20 Or Amram prit pour femme Jochabed, fille de son oncle paternel, laquelle lui enfanta Aaron et Moïse. Et les années de la vie d’Amram furent cent trente-sept.
Amram married his father’s sister, Jochebed. She was the mother of Aaron and Moses/me. Amram was 137 years old [when he died].

22 Les fils d’Oziel: Misaël, Elisaphan et Séthri

The sons of Korah [were] Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. They were the ancestors of the Korah people-group.
25 Mais Eléazar, fils d’Aaron, prit une femme d’entre les filles le Phutiel, laquelle lui enfanta Phinéès. Ce sont là les chefs des familles lévitiques selon leur parenté.
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.
26 C’est Aaron et Moïse auxquels le Seigneur commanda de retirer les enfants d’Israël de l’Egypte, selon leurs bandes.
Aaron and Moses/I were the ones to whom Yahweh said, “Lead all the families and clans of the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
27 Ce sont eux qui parlent à Pharaon, roi d’Egypte, pour qu’ils retirent les enfants d’Israël de l’Egypte: c’est Moïse et Aaron,
They/We were the ones who spoke to the king of Egypt about bringing the Israeli people out of Egypt.
28 Au jour où le Seigneur parla à Moïse dans la terre d’Egypte.
On the day that Yahweh spoke to Moses/me in Egypt,
29 Et le Seigneur parla à Moïse, disant: Je suis le Seigneur; dis à Pharaon, roi d’Egypte, tout ce que moi-même je te dis.
he said, “I am Yahweh. You must tell the king everything that I say to you.”
30 Et Moïse répondit devant le Seigneur: Voici que je suis incirconcis des lèvres, comment Pharaon m’écoutera-t-il?
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]
