< Egzòd 33 >
1 Seyè a di Moyiz: -Leve non, ou menm ak tout pèp ou te fè soti kite Lejip la. Kite kote nou ye a. Pran chemen pou n' ale nan peyi mwen te sèmante bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la, lè m' te di yo m'ap ba yo tè sa a pou pitit pitit yo.
And the Lord said to Moses, Go forward, go up hence, thou and thy people, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, into the land which I swore to Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed.
2 M'ap voye yonn nan zanj mwen yo devan nou. M'ap mete moun Kanaran yo, moun Amori yo, moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, ak moun Jebis yo deyò sou tè yo a.
And I will send at the same time my angel before thy face, and he shall cast out the Amorite and the Chettite, and the Pherezite and Gergesite, and Evite, and Jebusite, and Chananite.
3 Ale. W'ap rive nan yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Men, se pa mwen menm menm ki prale ansanm ak nou, paske nou se yon bann moun ki gen tèt di, mwen ta ka touye nou sou wout la.
And I will bring thee into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiff-necked people, lest I consume thee by the way.
4 Lè pèp la tande move nouvèl sa a, yon sèl lapenn pran yo. Tout moun refize pote bijou sou yo.
And the people having heard this grievous saying, mourned in mourning apparel.
5 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Di pitit Izrayèl yo se yon bann moun ki gen tèt di yo ye. Si se pou m' ta ale ak yo, menm yon sèl ti kadè, mwen ta fin estèminen yo nèt. Koulye a, se pou yo wete tout bijou yo gen sou yo. Lè sa a m'a wè, sa m' ka fè pou yo.
For the Lord said to the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people; take heed lest I bring on you another plague, and destroy you: now then put off your glorious apparel, and [your] ornaments, and I will shew thee what I will do to thee.
6 Se konsa, depi sou mòn Orèb, moun Izrayèl yo pa janm pote bijou ankò sou yo.
So the sons of Israel took off their ornaments and their array at the mount of Choreb.
7 Moyiz pran tant lan, li mete l' yon ti distans an deyò limit kan kote yo te enstale a. Li rele l' Tant Randevou a. Tout moun ki te bezwen pale ak Seyè a te blije soti nan kan an pou ale nan Tant Randevou a.
And Moses took his tabernacle and pitched it without the camp, at a distance from the camp; and it was called the Tabernacle of Testimony: and it came to pass [that] every one that sought the Lord went forth to the tabernacle which was without the camp.
8 Chak fwa Moyiz te soti pou l al nan tant lan, tout pèp la te fèt pou kanpe, chak moun devan papòt kay yo, ap gade Moyiz jouk li antre nan tant lan.
And whenever Moses went into the tabernacle without the camp, all the people stood every one watching by the doors of his tent; and when Moses departed, they took notice until he entered into the tabernacle.
9 Depi Moyiz antre nan tant lan, poto nwaj la desann, li kanpe sou papòt tant lan. Epi Seyè a pran pale ak Moyiz.
And when Moses entered into the tabernacle, the pillar of the cloud descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and [God] talked to Moses.
10 Lè tout moun wè poto nwaj la kanpe nan papòt tant lan, yo leve, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan papòt kay pa yo.
And all the people saw the pillar of the cloud standing by the door of the tabernacle, and all the people stood and worshipped every one at the door of his tent.
11 Seyè a te konn pale fasafas ak Moyiz tankou yon moun k'ap pale ak zanmi l'. Apre sa, Moyiz te tounen nan kan kote pèp la te enstale a. Men, te gen yon jenn gason yo te rele Jozye, pitit gason Noum lan, ki t'ap sèvi ak Moyiz. Li menm, li pa t' janm kite tant lan.
And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as if one should speak to his friend; and he retired into the camp: but his servant Joshua the son of Naue, a young man, departed not forth from the tabernacle.
12 Moyiz di Seyè a: -Ala ou di m' fè pèp la moute ale nan peyi a, men ou pa di m' kilès w'ap voye avè m' pou ede m'. Men, koulye a ou di m' ou konnen m' byen, ou konnen ki moun mwen ye. Ou kontan mwen anpil.
And Moses said to the Lord, Lo! thou sayest to me, Lead on this people; but thou hast not shewed me whom thou wilt send with me, but thou hast said to me, I know thee above all, and thou hast favour with me.
13 Bon, si ou kontan m' vre, tanpri, fè m' konnen lide ou gen nan tèt ou pou m' ka konnen ki moun ou ye, pou m' ka toujou fè ou plezi. Chonje tou, pèp sa a se pa ou li ye wi!
If then I have found favour in thy sight, reveal thyself to me, that I may evidently see thee; that I may find favour in thy sight, and that I may know that this great nation [is] thy people.
14 Seyè a reponn: -Se mwen menm k'ap mache avè ou. M'ap fè ou jwenn repo.
And he says, I myself will go before thee, and give thee rest.
15 Moyiz di l': -Si se pa ou menm menm k'ap mache avè nou, ou pa bezwen kite nou soti isit la.
And he says to him, If thou go not up with us thyself, bring me not up hence.
16 Lè ou gade byen, ki jan pou mwen fè konnen ou konsidere m' anpil, mwen menm ansanm ak pèp ou a? Eske se pa lè ou mache ak nou? Si ou mache ak nou, tout moun va rekonèt mwen menm ansanm ak pèp la, nou pa menm ak lòt pèp ki sou latè yo.
And how shall it be surely known, that both I and this people have found favour with thee, except only if thou go with us? So both I and thy people shall be glorified beyond all the nations, as many as are upon the earth.
17 Seyè a di Moyiz: -m'a fè sa ou mande m' lan, paske ou fè kè m' kontan anpil. Mwen konnen ki moun ou ye.
And the Lord said to Moses, I will also do for thee this thing, which thou hast spoken; for thou hast found grace before me, and I know thee above all.
18 Moyiz di l': -Tanpri, fè m' wè pouvwa ou!
And [Moses] says, Manifest thyself to me.
19 Lè sa a Seyè a reponn li: -M'ap fè ou wè jan m' gen bon kè, m'ap nonmen non m' devan ou. M'ap fè moun mwen vle gras, m'ap gen pitye pou moun mwen vle gen pitye.
And [God] said, I will pass by before thee with my glory, and I will call by my name, the Lord, before thee; and I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and will have pity on whom I will have pity.
20 Seyè a pale ankò, li di-Ou p'ap kapab wè figi m', paske ankenn moun sou latè pa kapab wè figi m' pou l' kontinye ap viv apre sa.
And [God] said, Thou shalt not be able to see my face; for no man shall see my face, and live.
21 Li di ankò: -Men yon ti plas bò kote m'. W'a kanpe sou ròch sa a.
And the Lord said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: thou shalt stand upon the rock;
22 Lè pouvwa mwen vin ap pase, m'ap mete ou nan twou ròch la, m'a kouvri ou avèk men mwen jouk mwen fin pase.
and when my glory shall pass by, then I will put thee into a hole of the rock; and I will cover thee over with my hand, until I shall have passed by.
23 Apre sa, m'a wete men m' sou ou. Se do m' ase w'a wè ki prale, men ou p'ap wè figi m'.
And I will remove my hand, and then shalt thou see my back parts; but my face shall not appear to thee.
