Egzòd 30
1 W'a fè yon lòtèl an bwa zakasya pou boule lansan.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make an altar from acacia wood, for burning incense.
2 W'a fè l' kare kare. L'a mezire dizwit pous longè, dizwit pous lajè ak trannsis pous wotè. Kat pwent ki depase yo va fè yon sèl pyès avèk lòtèl la. Se va kòn lòtèl la.
It is to be square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It is to be (3 feet/90 cm.) high. [Tell them to] make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood that the altar [is made from].
3 W'a kouvri tout anwo lòtèl la, kat kote l' yo ansanm ak kat kòn li yo ak pi bon kalite lò ki genyen. W'a fè yon bòdi an lò tout arebò l'.
[They must] cover the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. Put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
4 W'a fè de bag an lò, w'a tache yo anba bòdi a sou de bò lòtèl la. Se nan bag sa yo w'a pase manch ki pou sèvi pou pote lòtèl la.
[They must] make two gold rings for carrying the altar. [They must] attach them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. These rings are for the poles for carrying the altar.
5 W'a fè manch yo an bwa zakasya, epi w'a kouvri yo ak lò.
[Tell them to] make these [two] poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
6 W'a mete lòtèl la devan rido ki pann devan Bwat Kontra a avèk kouvèti li sou li. Se la m'a vin jwenn ou.
[They must] put this altar outside the curtain that hangs in front of the sacred chest and its lid. That is the place where I will talk with you.
7 Arawon va boule lansan bon sant sou li chak maten lè l'ap netwaye lanp yo.
Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar. He must burn some every morning when he takes care of the lamps,
8 L'a boule lansan tou chak swa lè l'ap ranje lanp yo. Se pou yo toujou fè ofrann lansan sa a devan lòtèl Seyè a, chak jou san sote yonn, de pitit an pitit.
and he must burn some in the evening when he lights the lamps. The incense must be burned continually, throughout all future generations.
9 Se pa pou nou ofri sou lòtèl la lansan ki pa fèt tout espre pou sèvis la, ni vyann bèt ki fèt pou boule, ni lòt manje. Ni se pa pou nou ofri ankenn bwason sou li non plis.
The priests must not burn on the altar any incense that I have not told you to burn, or burn any animal on it, or any grain offering for me, or pour any wine on it as an offering.
10 Yon fwa chak lanne, Arawon va fè yon seremoni sou kòn lòtèl la pou Bondye ka fè gras. Yon fwa chak lanne, avèk san bèt yo touye pou mande padon pou peche a, l'a mande gras pou lòtèl la. Se pou yo toujou fè sa de pitit an pitit. Lòtèl sa a, se yon lòtèl ki fèt pou yo mete apa nèt pou Seyè a.
One time every year Aaron must perform the ritual for making this altar pure. He must do it by putting on its four projections some of the blood from the animal that was sacrificed (to remove the guilt of the people’s sins/so that the people would no longer be guilty for sins). This ritual is to be done by Aaron and his descendants throughout all future generations. This altar must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.”
11 Seyè a di Moyiz:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
12 -Lè n'ap konte konbe moun ki genyen nan peyi Izrayèl la pou nou fè resansman, chak gason va bay Seyè a kichòy pou lavi yo, pou malè pa rive lè y'ap fè resansman an.
“When your [leaders] (take a census of/count) the Israeli people, each man [who is counted] must pay to me a price to save his life. They must do this in order that no disaster will happen to them while the people are being counted.
13 Chak moun y'a konte nan resansman an va peye de goud edmi, dapre jan yo konte lajan nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a. Chak moun va peye sa tankou yon ofrann yo mete apa pou Seyè a.
Every man who is counted must pay to me (0.2 ounces/5.7 grams) of silver. They must use the official standard when they weigh the silver.
14 Tout moun ki dwe bay non yo nan resansman an, sa vle di tout moun ki gen ventan osinon ki depase ventan, va peye menm lajan an bay Seyè a.
All the men who are at least 20 years old must pay this amount to me when the people are counted.
15 Moun ki rich p'ap peye plis, ni moun ki pòv p'ap peye mwens, lè y'ap peye lajan an bay Seyè a pou lavi yo.
Rich men must not pay more than this amount, and poor men must not pay less than this amount, when they pay this money to save their lives.
16 W'a resevwa lajan sa a nan men pèp la, w'a depanse l' pou sèvis Tant Randevou a. Sa va sèvi pou Seyè a pa janm bliye pèp Izrayèl la. Se va bagay y'a peye pou sove lavi yo.
Your leaders must collect this money from the Israeli people and give it to [those who will] take care of the Sacred Tent. This money is the payment for the lives of those who take care of the Sacred Tent, (to enable me not to forget them/and then I will remember to protect them).”
17 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me,
18 -W'a fè yon gwo basen an kwiv avèk yon pye an kwiv tou. W'a mete l' ant Tant Randevou a ak lòtèl la. W'a mete dlo ladan l'.
“[Tell the skilled workers to] make a bronze washbasin and a bronze base for it. [They must] put it between the Sacred Tent and the altar, and fill it with water.
19 Arawon ak pitit gason l' yo va sèvi ak dlo sa a pou yo lave men yo ak pye yo.
Aaron and his sons must ritually wash their hands and their feet with this water
20 Lè y'ap antre nan Tant Randevou a, y'a lave men yo ak pye yo nan dlo sa a. y'a fè menm jan an tou lè y'ap pwoche bò lòtèl la pou fè sèvis pou ofri Seyè a bèt ki fèt pou boule nèt nan dife a pou li. Konsa, yo p'ap mouri.
before they enter the Sacred Tent and before they come to the altar to sacrifice offerings that will be burned on it. If [they do that], they will not die [because of disobeying my instructions].
21 Wi, se pou yo lave men yo ak pye yo pou yo pa mouri. Se yon lòd pou Arawon, pou pitit gason l' yo ak pitit pitit k'ap vin apre yo, lòd pou yo toujou swiv, de pitit an pitit.
They must wash their hands and their feet, in order that they will not die. They and the males descended from them must obey this ritual throughout all generations.”
22 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
23 -Pran pi bon plant santi bon ki genyen: ven liv lami, dis liv kannèl bon kalite, dis liv fèy sitwonèl,
“[Tell the people to] collect some of the finest spices— (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (liquid myrrh/sweet-smelling sap named myrrh), (6 pounds/3 kg.) of sweet-smelling cinnamon, (6 pounds/3 kg.) of a sweet-smelling cane/reed,
24 ven liv kas. W'a mezire yo dapre mezi yo sèvi nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a. W'a pran tou senk ka lwil oliv.
and (12 pounds/6 kg.) of (cassia/a sweet-smelling bark named cassia). [Be sure] that they use the official standard when they weigh these things. Tell an expert perfumer to mix these with (one gallon/four liters) of olive oil
25 Avèk tou sa, w'a fè yon lwil jan moun ki konn fè odè a fè. Lwil sa a va sèvi pou mete moun apa pou sèvis Bondye. Se avèk lwil sa a w'a sèvi pou mete moun osinon nenpòt bagay apa pou sèvis Bondye.
to make sacred oil for anointing.
26 W'a voye lwil la sou Tant Randevou a, sou Bwat Kontra a,
Use this oil for anointing the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest,
27 sou tab la ak tout bagay ki sèvi sou tab la, sou lanp sèt branch lan ak tout bagay ki sèvi ak li, sou lòtèl lansan an,
the table and all the things that are used with it, the lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar for [burning] incense,
28 sou lòtèl kote yo boule ofrann yo ak sou tout bagay ki sèvi sou li, sou basen lan ak tout pye l'.
and the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned, along with its bases and the washbasin and all the things that are used with it.
29 Se konsa w'a mete tout bagay sa yo apa pou mwen pou yo ka pou mwen ase. Tout bagay ki va touche ak yo va apa pou mwen tou.
Dedicate them by anointing them, in order that they will be completely holy/sacred. Anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
30 Lèfini, w'a vide lwil la sou Arawon ak sou pitit gason l' yo. Konsa w'a mete yo apa pou yo ka sèvi m' prèt.
And anoint Aaron and his sons. [By doing that], you will dedicate them to serve me [by being] priests.
31 W'a pale ak pitit Izrayèl yo, w'a di yo: Nou wè lwil sa a, se ak li pou nou sèvi, de pitit an pitit, pou mete moun osinon nenpòt bagay apa pou mwen.
And tell the Israeli people, ‘This oil will be my sacred anointing oil that must be used throughout all future generations.
32 Nou pa dwe sèvi ak lwil sa a sou nenpòt ki moun, ni nou pa fèt pou fè yon lòt lwil ak menm konpozisyon an. Se yon bagay ki apa pou mwen nèt. Nou fèt pou nou konsidere l' pou sa li ye a.
You must not pour it on the bodies of people who are not priests, and you must not make other oil to be like it by mixing the same amount of those things. This oil is sacred, and you must consider it to be sacred.’
33 Si yon moun sèvi ak menm konpozisyon an pou fè lwil, osinon si yon moun sèvi avè l' sou yon moun ki pa prèt, se pou yo disparèt li nan mitan pèp la.
I will consider that anyone who makes ointment like this [for any other purpose], and anyone who puts any of this ointment on someone who is not a priest, no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
34 Apre sa, Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Pran epis sa yo: safetida, lorye, gonm bwa ak pi bon kalite lansan. W'a pran menm valè nan chak.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “[Tell the people to] take equal parts of several sweet spices—stacte, onycha, galbanum, and pure frankincense—
35 W'a fè yon lansan ak yo san ankenn kras ladan l', menm jan moun ki konn fè odè yo fè sa. W'a mete yon ti sèl ladan l', w'a mete l' apa pou mwen.
and tell an expert perfumer to mix them together to make some perfume. Add some salt to keep it pure and make it holy.
36 W'a pran ti gout ladan l', w'a pile l' fè l' fè poud. W'a sèvi avèk ti gout dèvan bwat ki gen ròch plat kontra a, nan Tant Randevou a kote pou m' kontre avè ou la. Se pou ou konsidere lansan sa a tankou yon bagay yo mete apa pou mwen ase.
Beat some of it into a fine powder. Then take some of it into the Sacred Tent and sprinkle it in front of the sacred chest. You must all consider this incense to be very holy.
37 Piga ou sèvi ak menm konpozisyon sa a pou fè lansan pou sèvi pou tèt pa ou. Sa se yon bagay ki rezève pou sèvis Bondye ase.
The people must not mix the same spices to make incense for themselves. This incense must be completely dedicated to me, Yahweh.
38 Si yon moun fè yon konpozisyon menm jan an pou sèvi l' odè, se pou yo disparèt li nan mitan pèp la.
I will consider that anyone who makes incense like this to use it for perfume will no longer be allowed to associate with my people.”
