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 Jehovah said to Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people that thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, into the land that I swore unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it,
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 an angel before thee, and dispossess the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, )
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.
into a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in the midst of thee, for thou art a stiff-necked people, — lest I consume thee on the way.
4 Lè pèp la tande move nouvèl sa a, yon sèl lapenn pran yo. Tout moun refize pote bijou sou yo.
And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned; and no man put on his ornaments.
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.
Now Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiff-necked people: in one moment I will come up into the midst of thee and will consume thee. And now put off thine ornaments from thee, and I will know what I will do unto thee.
6 Se konsa, depi sou mòn Orèb, moun Izrayèl yo pa janm pote bijou ankò sou yo.
And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments at mount Horeb.
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 the tent, and pitched it outside the camp, far from the camp, and called it the Tent of meeting. And it came to pass [that] every one who sought Jehovah went out to the tent of meeting which was outside 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 it came to pass, when Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and stood every man at the entrance of his tent, and they looked after Moses until he entered into the tent.
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 it came to pass when Moses entered into the tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and [Jehovah] talked with 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 cloud standing at the entrance of the tent; and all the people rose and worshipped, every man at the entrance 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 Jehovah spoke with Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. And he returned to the camp; but his attendant, Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from within the tent.
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 Jehovah, Behold, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people; but thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me; and thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in mine eyes.
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!
And now, if indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, make me now to know thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thine eyes; and consider that this nation is thy people!
14 Seyè a reponn: -Se mwen menm k'ap mache avè ou. M'ap fè ou jwenn repo.
And he said, My presence shall go, and I will 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 said to him, If thy presence do not go, bring us 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 known then that I have found grace in thine eyes — I and thy people? [Is it] not by thy going with us? so shall we be distinguished, I and thy people, from every people that is on the face of 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 Jehovah said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast said; for thou hast found grace in mine eyes, and I know thee by name.
18 Moyiz di l': -Tanpri, fè m' wè pouvwa ou!
And he said, Let me, I pray thee, see thy glory.
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 he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thy face, and I will proclaim the name of Jehovah before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
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 he said, Thou canst not see my face; for Man shall not see me, and live.
21 Li di ankò: -Men yon ti plas bò kote m'. W'a kanpe sou ròch sa a.
And Jehovah said, Behold, [there is] a place by me: there shalt thou stand on 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 it shall come to pass, when my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand, until I 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 take away my hand, and thou shalt see me from behind; but my face shall not be seen.
