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.
The LORD spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’
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.
I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out 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.
Go to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up amongst you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”
4 Lè pèp la tande move nouvèl sa a, yon sèl lapenn pran yo. Tout moun refize pote bijou sou yo.
When the people heard this evil news, they mourned; and no one put on his jewellery.
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.
The LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up amongst you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewellery from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”
6 Se konsa, depi sou mòn Orèb, moun Izrayèl yo pa janm pote bijou ankò sou yo.
The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewellery from Mount Horeb onward.
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.
Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” Everyone who sought the LORD 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.
When Moses went out to the Tent, all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone 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.
When Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and the LORD spoke 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.
All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshipped, everyone at their tent door.
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.
The LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from 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.
Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people;’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favour in my sight.’
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!
Now therefore, if I have found favour in your sight, please show me your way, now, that I may know you, so that I may find favour in your sight; and consider that this nation is your people.”
14 Seyè a reponn: -Se mwen menm k'ap mache avè ou. M'ap fè ou jwenn repo.
He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
15 Moyiz di l': -Si se pa ou menm menm k'ap mache avè nou, ou pa bezwen kite nou soti isit la.
Moses said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
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.
For how would people know that I have found favour in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface 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.
The LORD said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favour in my sight, and I know you by name.”
18 Moyiz di l': -Tanpri, fè m' wè pouvwa ou!
Moses said, “Please show me your 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.
He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the LORD’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show 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.
He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
21 Li di ankò: -Men yon ti plas bò kote m'. W'a kanpe sou ròch sa a.
The LORD also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall 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.
It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you 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'.
then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
