Egzòd 31

1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l':

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

2 -Mwen chwazi Bezaleyèl, pitit Ouri, pitit pitit Our, nan branch fanmi Jida a.

See, I have called by name, Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur of the tribe of Judah;

3 Mwen mete lespri m' sou li an kantite pou l' ka gen ladrès, bon konprann ak konesans pou l' fè tout kalite travay atizan yo konn fè,

and have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in understanding, and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship;

4 pou l' ka fè bèl desen, pou l' travay yo an lò, an ajan ak an kwiv,

to devise skilful designs, to work in gold and in silver, and in bronze;

5 pou l' travay pyè tankou òfèv yo konn fè a, pou l' moute yo sou nenpòt bagay, pou l' ka fè desen sou bwa, wi pou l' fè tout kalite bon bagay atizan konn fè.

and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the carving of wood, —to work in all manner of workmanship,

6 Nan travay sa a, mwen bay Bezaleyèl yon lòt bòs pou ede l' nan travay la: se Owoliyab, pitit Ayisamak, moun branch fanmi Dann. Konsa tou, tout lòt moun nan pèp Izrayèl la n'a wè ki gen ladrès, konnen se mwen menm ki ba yo l' pou yo ka fè sa mwen mande ou fè a.

I myself, therefore, lo! I have given with him Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted, have I put wisdom, —so shall they make all that I have commanded thee—

7 Men sa mwen te mande ou fè: Tant Randevou a, Bwat Kontra a avèk ròch plat yo, kouvèti ki pou ale sou bwat la ansanm ak tout mèb ki pou ale nan tant lan,

the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony; and the propitiatory which is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent;

8 tab la ak lanp sèt branch an lò a ansanm avèk tout bagay ki pou sèvi avèk yo, lòtèl pou boule lansan an,

and the table, and its utensils, and the pure lampstand, and all its utensils, —and the incense altar;

9 lòtèl pou boule ofrann yo ak tout bagay ki pou sèvi sou lòtèl la, basen lan ak tout pye l' a,

and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils, and the laver, and its stand;

10 bèl rad seremoni, rad pou Arawon, prèt la, ak pou pitit gason l' yo mete sou yo lè y'ap fè sèvis nan tant lan,

and the cloths of variegated stuff, and the holy garments, for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for ministering as priests;

11 lwil pou mete moun apa pou Bondye a ak lansan santi bon pou kote ki apa pou Bondye a. Lè y'ap fè bagay sa yo, se pou yo fè l' jan mwen te di ou la.

and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy place, according to all which I have commanded thee, shall they do.

12 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses saying—

13 -W'a di pèp Izrayèl la: Se pou nou respekte jou repo mwen yo, paske se va yon siy ant mwen menm ak nou menm, ak tout pitit pitit nou yo, pou fè konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki mete nou apa pou mwen.

Thou thyself, therefore, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Surely, my sabbaths, shall ye keep, for, a sign it is betwixt me and you to your generations, that ye may know that I Yahweh do hallow you.

14 Se poutèt sa, se pou nou respekte jou repo a paske se yon jou pou nou mete apa pou mwen. Si yon moun pa respekte jou sa a, se pou yo touye l'. Si yon moun fè nenpòt ki travay jou sa a, se pou yo disparèt li nan mitan pèp li a.

Therefore shall ye keep the sabbath, for holy, it is unto you, he that profaneth it shall be surely put to death; verily whosoever doeth therein any work that soul shall be cut off from the midst of its people:

15 N'a fè tout travay nou pandan sis jou. Men setyèm jou a, se va yon gwo jou repo, jou n'a mete apa pou Seyè a. Nenpòt moun ki fè nenpòt ki travay jou sa a, se pou yo touye l'.

Six days, shall work be done, but on the seventh day, is a holy sabbath-keeping of rest unto Yahweh, —whosoever doeth work on the sabbath day, shall be, surely put to death.

16 Se tout pèp la nèt ki pou respekte jou repo a de pitit an pitit. Se yon kontra ki la pou tout tan.

Therefore shall the sons of Israel keep the sabbath, —by making it a Day of Rest to your generations, as an age-abiding covenant:

17 Sa va yon siy ant mwen menm ak pèp Izrayèl la, paske mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen te pran sis jou pou m' fè syèl la ak latè a. Sou setyèm jou a mwen te sispann travay, mwen te pran repo.

between me and the sons of Israel, a sign it is unto times age-abiding, —for in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day, he rested, and was refreshed.

18 Lè Seyè a te fin pale konsa ak Moyiz sou mòn Sinayi a, li ba li de ròch plat kote li te ekri kontra a ak pròp men li.

Then gave he unto Moses, as he finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, —tables of stone, written with the finger of God,
