< Egzòd 10 >
1 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Ale bò kot farawon an. Se mwen menm ki fè l' gen tèt di, li menm ansanm ak moun pa l' yo, pou m' fè yo wè mèvèy mwen ka fè nan mitan yo.
And the Lord said to Moses: Go in to Pharao; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants: that I may work these my signs in him.
2 Konsa tou, n'a rakonte pitit nou yo ak pitit pitit nou yo sa mwen te fè moun peyi Lejip yo pase ak kalite mèvèy mwen te fè nan mitan yo. Lè sa a nou tout n'a konnen se mwen menm menm ki Seyè a.
And thou mayest tell in the ears of thy sons, and of they grandsons, how often I have plagued the Egyptians, and wrought my signs amongst them: and you may know that I am the Lord:
3 Se konsa Moyiz ak Arawon ale bò kote farawon an. Yo di l': -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp ebre a, voye di ou: Kilè w'a aprann soumèt tèt ou devan mwen? Kite pèp mwen an ale pou l' ka fè yon sèvis pou mwen.
Therefore Moses and Aaron went in to Pharao, and said to him: Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews: How long refusest thou to submit to me? let my people go, to sacrifice to me.
4 Si ou refize kite pèp mwen an ale, men sa m' pral fè: Denmen, mwen pral voye krikèt vèt sou tout peyi a.
But if thou resist, and wilt not let them go, behold I will bring in tomorrow the locust into thy coasts:
5 Yo pral kouvri tout tè a, jouk moun p'ap ka wè tè a ankò. Yo pral devore ti rès lagrèl te kite pou nou an. y'a devore tout pyebwa ki nan jaden nou yo.
To cover the face of the earth that nothing thereof may appear, but that which the hail hath left may be eaten: for they shall feed upon all the trees that spring in the fields.
6 Y'ap anvayi tout kay ou yo, kay tout moun pa ou yo ak kay tout moun nan peyi a. Se bagay granpapa nou yo ak zansèt nou yo pa t' janm wè depi yo fèt jouk jounen jòdi a. Apre sa, Moyiz vire do l', li soti kay farawon an.
And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of thy servants, and of all the Egyptians: such a number as thy fathers have not seen, nor thy grandfathers, from the time they were first upon the earth, until this present day. And he turned himself away, and went forth from Pharao.
7 Moun pa farawon yo vin di l': -Kilè nonm sa a va sispann ban nou pwoblèm? Kite moun yo ale non. Kite yo al fè sèvis pou Bondye yo a. Ou pa wè jan peyi Lejip la ap fini!
And Pharao’s servants said to him: How long shall we endure this scandal? let the men go to sacrifice to the Lord their God. Dost thou not see that Egypt is undone?
8 Se konsa yo fè Moyiz ak Arawon tounen vin kote farawon an. Farawon an di yo: -Nou mèt al fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Kilès ki prale?
And they called back Moses and Aaron to Pharao: and he said to them: Go, sacrifice to the Lord your God: who are they that shall go?
9 Moyiz reponn li: -Nou prale ak tout timoun yo, ak tout granmoun yo, ak tout pitit gason nou yo, ak tout pitit fi nou yo ansanm ak bèf, mouton ak kabrit nou yo, paske se yon gwo sèvis pou n' fè pou Seyè a.
Moses said: We will go with our young and old, with our sons and daughters, with our sheep and herds: for it is the solemnity of the Lord our God.
10 Farawon an di yo: -Gade jan nou gen move lide dèyè tèt nou! Mwen ta swete pou Seyè a ede nou vre! Men, mwen p'ap kite nou ale ansanm ak timoun yo.
And Pharao answered: So be the Lord with you, as I shall let you and your children go: who can doubt but that you intend some great evil?
11 Non. Sa p'ap pase konsa. Se nou menm gason yo ase ki mèt ale pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Se pa sa nou te mande? Lè l' fin di yo sa, li fè mete yo deyò lakay li.
It shall not be so: but go ye men only, and sacrifice to the Lord: for this yourselves also desired. And immediately they were cast out from Pharao’s presence.
12 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Lonje men ou sou peyi Lejip la pou fè krikèt yo vini sou li. Y'ap vini, y'ap devore tout fèy bwa nan peyi a. Wi, y'a devore tou sa lagrèl te kite.
And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch forth thy hand upon the land of Egypt unto the locust, that it may come upon it, and devour every herb that is left after the hail.
13 Moyiz lonje baton l' lan sou peyi Lejip la. Seyè a fè yon van nòde soufle sou peyi a. Van an soufle tout yon jounen ak tout yon nwit. Nan maten, van an pote krikèt vèt yo vini.
And Moses stretched forth his rod upon the land of Egypt: and the Lord brought a burning wind all that day, and night: and when it was morning, the burning wind raised the locusts:
14 Krikèt yo tonbe sou peyi Lejip la, yo poze toupatou nan peyi a. Moun pa t' janm wè kantite krikèt konsa, epi se bagay yo p'ap janm wè ankò.
And they came up over the whole land of Egypt: and rested in all the coasts of the Egyptians innumerable, the like as had not been before that time, nor shall be hereafter.
15 Krikèt yo kouvri tè a nèt. Tè a vin tou nwa ak krikèt. Krikèt yo manje tou sak t'ap pouse nan peyi a, tout fwi ki te nan pyebwa yo, tou sa lagrèl te kite. pa t' rete yon ti fèy vèt nan pyebwa yo ankò nan tout peyi Lejip la. Tout jaden te pèdi nèt.
And they covered the whole face of the earth, wasting all things. And the grass of the earth was devoured, and what fruits soever were on the trees, which the hail had left: and there remained not any thing that was green on the trees, or in the herbs of the earth in all Egypt.
16 Lè sa a, farawon an prese fè rele Moyiz ak Arawon, li di yo: -Mwen peche kont Seyè a, Bondye nou an, mwen peche kont nou menm tou.
Wherefore Pharao in haste called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you.
17 Tanpri, padonnen peche m' fwa sa a. Lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ankò pou l' wete chatiman sa a sou mwen. Se touye chatiman sa a ap touye m'!
But now forgive me my sin this time also, and pray to the Lord your God, that he take away from me this death.
18 Moyiz soti kay farawon an. Li lapriyè Seyè a.
And Moses going forth from the presence of Pharao, prayed to the Lord.
19 Seyè a fè yon gwo van lwès soufle fwa sa a. Van an pote tout krikèt yo al jete nan lanmè Wouj la. Pat rete yon sèl grenn krikèt nan tout peyi Lejip la.
And he made a very strong wind to blow from the west, and it took the locusts and cast them into the Red Sea: there remained not so much as one in all the coasts of Egypt.
20 Men Seyè a fè farawon an fè tèt di ankò. Farawon an pa kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo ale.
And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, neither did he let the children of Israel go.
21 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Lonje men ou anlè pou fènwa kouvri peyi Lejip la, yon fènwa sitèlman pwès moun ta ka santi li anba men yo.
And the Lord said to Moses: Stretch out they hand towards heaven: and may there be darkness upon the land of Egypt, so thick that it may be felt.
22 Moyiz leve men li anlè, epi yon fènwa byen pwès desann kouvri tout peyi Lejip la pandan twa jou.
And Moses stretch forth his hand towards heaven: and there came horrible darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.
23 Moun peyi Lejip yo fè twa jou yonn pa t' ka wè lòt, pesonn pa mete tèt deyò. Men, te gen klète kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rete a.
No man saw his brother, nor moved himself out of the place where he was: but wheresoever the children of Israel dwelt there was light.
24 Farawon an fè rele Moyiz, li di l' konsa: -Nou mèt ale fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Nou mèt ale ak timoun nou yo. Men mouton nou yo, kabrit nou yo ak bèf nou yo ap rete isit la.
And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said to them: Go sacrifice to the Lord: let your sheep only, and herds remain; let your children go with you.
25 Moyiz reponn li: -Bon, lè sa a, se ou menm ki pral ban nou bèt pou nou touye pou nou boule pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an?
Moses said: Thou shalt give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, to the Lord our God.
26 Tout bèt nou fèt pou ale ak nou. Nou p'ap kite yonn dèyè. Paske, se ladan yo pou nou pran sa nou bezwen pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Tout tan nou pa rive, nou poko konnen kisa nou pral chwazi pou ofri bay Seyè a.
All the flocks shall go with us: there shall not a hoof remain of them: for they are necessary for the service of the Lord our God: especially as we know not what must be offered, till we come to the very place.
27 Men Seyè a fè farawon an fè tèt di pi rèd toujou. Farawon an pa t' vle kite yo ale.
And the Lord hardened Pharao’s heart, and he would not let them go.
28 Farawon an di Moyiz konsa: -Wete kò ou devan m'. Gade! Pa janm parèt devan m' ankò, paske jou ou ta parèt devan m' ankò, m'ap disparèt ou.
And Pharao said to Moses: Get thee from me, and beware thou see not my face any more: in what day soever thou shalt come in my sight, thou shalt die.
29 Moyiz reponn li: -Jan ou vle! Mwen p'ap janm parèt devan ou ankò.
Moses answered: So shall it be as thou hast spoken, I will not see thy face any more.
