Egzòd 19
1 Moun Izrayèl yo te gen de mwa depi yo te soti kite peyi Lejip la. Premye jou twazyèm mwa a, yo rive nan dezè Sinayi a.
In the third month, after the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 Lè yo kite Refidim, yo rive nan dezè Sinayi a. Se la yo moute tant yo, anfas mòn lan.
For they had departed from Rephidim, and they came to the desert of Sinai, and encamped in the wilderness; and Israel encamped there opposite the mount.
3 Moyiz moute sou mòn lan, l' al bò kote Bondye. Seyè a rete sou tèt mòn lan, li rele Moyiz, li di l': -Men sa pou ou di moun fanmi Jakòb yo, men sa pou ou fè pèp Izrayèl la konnen:
And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him from the mount, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel.
4 Seyè a pale, li voye di nou konsa: Nou wè sa mwen te fè moun peyi Lejip yo. Nou wè ki jan mwen te pote nou tankou malfini pote pitit li yo sou do li, mwen fè nou vin jwenn mwen.
Ye have yourselves seen what I have done unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Koulye a menm, si nou koute sa mwen di nou, si nou kenbe kontra mwen an, se nou menm m'ap chwazi pou moun pa m' nan mitan tout pèp ki sou latè. Tout latè se pou mwen, se vre.
Now therefore, if you will truly obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then shall ye be unto me a peculiar treasure above all nations; for all the earth is mine:
6 Men nou menm, n'ap vini yon nasyon moun k'ap sèvi m' tankou prèt, yon pèp k'ap viv apa pou mwen. Wi, se sa pou ou di moun Izrayèl yo.
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation; these are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7 Moyiz ale, li fè sanble tout chèf fanmi pèp la, li rapòte yo tou sa Seyè a te ba li lòd di yo.
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the Lord had commanded him.
8 Tout pèp la reponn ansanm, yo di: -N'a fè tou sa Seyè a di nou fè. Apre sa, Moyiz al rapòte bay Seyè a repons pèp la.
And all the people answered unanimously, and said, all that the Lord hath spoken will we do; and Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
9 Seyè a di Moyiz: -M'ap vin jwenn ou nan yon gwo nwaj byen pwès. Konsa pèp la va tande lè m'ap pale avè ou, y'a toujou kwè nan ou. Moyiz rakonte Seyè a sa pèp la te reponn.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, I will come unto thee in a thick cloud, for the sake that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and that also in thee they shall believe for ever; and Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.
10 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ale bò kote pèp la. Fè yo pran jounen jòdi a ak jounen denmen an pou yo mete yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen. Se pou yo lave rad yo.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes.
11 Se pou yo pare pou twazyèm jou a. Paske, sou twa jou mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap desann sou mòn Sinayi a pou tout moun ka wè m'.
And they shall be ready against the third day; for on the third day will the Lord come down, before the eyes of all the people, upon mount Sinai.
12 W'a mete yon limit toutalantou mòn lan pou pèp la pa depase. W'a avèti yo pou yo pa moute sou mòn lan, ni pou pesonn pa menm pwoche bò pye mòn lan. Nenpòt moun ki va mete pye sou mòn lan, se pou yo touye l'.
And thou shalt set bounds unto the people, round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, nor touch the border of it; whosoever toucheth the mount shall surely be put to death.
13 y'a kalonnen l' kout ròch osinon y'a pèse l' ak kout flèch jouk li mouri, san pesonn p'ap bezwen manyen li ak men yo. Kit se yon moun, kit se yon bèt, se pou yo touye l'. Lè y'a tande kòn lan kònen, se lè sa a y'a moute sou mòn lan.
Yet not a hand shall touch him, 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 may come up to the mount.
14 Moyiz desann soti sou mòn lan, l' al bò kote pèp la. Li fè yo mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Yo lave rad yo.
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people: and they washed their clothes.
15 Apre sa, Moyiz di yo: -Pare nou pou apre denmen. Pa kouche ak ankenn fanm.
And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day; approach not unto a woman.
16 Sou twazyèm jou a vre, nan granmaten, loraj t'ap gwonde sou mòn lan. Te gen zèklè ak yon gwo nwaj byen pwès sou mòn lan tou. Yon twonpèt t'ap kònen byen fò. Tout moun t'ap tranble kou fèy bwa kote yo te ye a, sitèlman yo te pè.
And it came to pass on the third day when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a heavy cloud was upon the mount, and the voice of the cornet was exceedingly loud; so that all the people that were in the camp trembled.
17 Moyiz fè pèp la soti kote yo te moute tant yo a pou y al kontre Bondye. Yo rete nan pye mòn lan.
And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they placed themselves at the foot of the mount.
18 Tout mòn Sinayi a te kouvri nèt ak lafimen, paske Seyè a te desann sou li nan mitan yon gwo dife. Lafimen t'ap moute tankou nan yon fou lacho. Tout mòn lan t'ap tranble avèk fòs.
And mount Sinai smoked in every part, because the Lord had descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 Twonpèt la t'ap kònen pi fò toujou. Moyiz t'ap pale, Bondye t'ap reponn li byen fò avèk yon bri ou ta di yon bri loraj.
And the voice of the cornet went on, and waxed louder and louder; Moses spoke, and God answered him with a loud voice.
20 Seyè a desann sou mòn Sinayi a, sou tèt mòn lan menm. Li rele Moyiz sou tèt mòn lan. Moyiz moute al jwenn li.
And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount; and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.
21 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Desann, avèti pèp la pou yo pa depase limit la, paske yo ka pran kouri vin gade mwen. Lè sa a, anpil ladan yo ta kapab mouri.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them might perish.
22 Ata prèt yo ki ka pwoche bò kote m', se pou yo mete tèt yo nan kondisyon pou sa tou. Si se pa sa, mwen ka touye yo.
And the priests also, who come near to the Lord, shall sanctify themselves; lest the Lord break forth among them.
23 Moyiz di Seyè a: -Pèp la p'ap kapab moute sou mòn Sinayi a, paske se ou menm ki defann yo moute, lè ou te di: Trase yon limit toutalantou mòn lan, mete l' apa pou mwen.
And Moses said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai; for thou hast charged us, saying, Set bounds about the mount and sanctify it.
24 Lè sa a Seyè a di Moyiz: -Desann non. Epi tounen ansanm ak Arawon. Men pa kite prèt yo ak pèp la depase limit ou te ba yo a pou yo kouri vin kote m'. Si yo fè sa, m'ap touye yo.
And the Lord said unto him, Go, get thee down, and then shalt thou come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; but the priests and the people shall not break through to come up unto the Lord, lest he break forth among them.
25 Moyiz desann bò kote pèp la, li di yo tout bagay.
So Moses went down unto the people, and spoke unto them.
