Egzòd 34
1 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Taye de ròch plat tankou de premye yo. m'a ekri sou yo tout pawòl ki te sou premye ròch ou te kraze yo.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Cut two slabs of stone that will be like the first slabs, the ones that you broke. Then I will engrave on them the words that were on the first slabs.
2 Pare ou byen bonè denmen maten. W'a moute sou mòn Sinayi a. Vin jwenn mwen la sou tèt mòn lan.
Get ready tomorrow morning, and come up to the top of Sinai Mountain again to talk with me there.
3 Pa kite pesonn moute avè ou. Pa kite pesonn parèt sou mòn lan. Ata mouton ak bèf pa pou vin manje twò pre mòn lan.
Do not allow anyone to come up with you. I do not want anyone [else] to be anywhere on the mountain. Do not allow any sheep or cattle to graze (at the base of/near) the mountain.”
4 Moyiz taye de ròch plat tankou de premye yo. Nan denmen maten byen bonè, li moute sou mòn Sinayi a ak de ròch plat yo nan men l' jan Seyè a te ba li lòd la.
So Moses/I cut two slabs of stone that were like the first ones. He/I arose early the next morning. He/I took the slabs and carried them in his/my hands up to the top of Sinai Mountain, as Yahweh had commanded.
5 Seyè a desann nan yon nwaj, li kanpe la toupre Moyiz. Li fè l' konnen se li menm yo rele Seyè a.
Then Yahweh descended in the [tall] cloud and stood with Moses/me there. He proclaimed that it was he, Yahweh, [who was going to speak to Moses/me].
6 Seyè a pase devan Moyiz, li pale byen fò, li di: -Seyè a, Seyè a se yon Bondye ki gen pitye pou moun, yon Bondye ki gen bon kè. Li pa fè kòlè fasil, li p'ap janm sispann renmen, l'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li.
Then Yahweh passed in front of him/me and proclaimed, “I am Yahweh God. I always act mercifully and kindly [toward people]. I do not get angry quickly. I [truly] love [people] and I do what I promise to do for them, without changing.
7 L'ap kenbe pwomès li pou tout tan jouk sou mil jenerasyon, de pitit an pitit. L'ap toujou padonnen sa nou fè ki mal, sa nou te dwe fè nou pa fè, ak peche nou yo. Men, li pa nan kase fèy kouvri sa. Lè yon moun fè yon peche, l'ap pini pitit li yo, pitit pitit li yo ak pitit pitit pitit li yo pou sa li fè a, jouk sou twazyèm ak katriyèm jenerasyon.
I love people for thousands of generations. I forgive people for all kinds of sins [TRI]. But I will certainly punish [LIT] those who are guilty. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).”
8 Lamenm, Moyiz prese bese tèt li byen ba jouk atè, li adore Bondye.
Moses/I quickly prostrated himself/myself on the ground and worshiped [Yahweh].
9 Li di: -Seyè! Si ou kontan m' vre, tanpri, mache avè nou non! Pèp sa a, se yon bann moun ki gen tèt di, se vre. Men, padonnen fòt nou yo ak peche nou yo. Asepte nou pou moun ki rele ou pa ou.
He/I said, “Yahweh, if you are now pleased with me, I ask that you go with us. These people are very stubborn [IDM], but forgive us for all our sins [DOU], and accept us to be people who belong to you [forever].”
10 Seyè a reponn: -Mwen pral fè yon kontra avèk nou. Devan tout pèp la, mwen pral fè gwo bèl bagay, bèl bagay ankenn peyi sou latè ni ankenn nasyon poko janm wè. Konsa, tout pèp ki avè ou yo pral wè travay Seyè a ka fè, paske mwen pral sèvi avè ou pou m' fè yon bagay estraòdinè.
Yahweh replied, “Note this: I am going to make a solemn agreement [with the Israeli people]. As they are watching, I will perform great miracles. They will be miracles that no one has ever done on the earth in any nation. All the people who are near you will see the great things that I, Yahweh, will do. I will do awesome things for you [all].
11 Se pou ou swiv tout kòmandman mwen ba ou jòdi a. M'ap mete moun Amori yo deyò, ansanm ak tout moun Kanaran yo, tout moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo, pou yo fè plas pou nou.
[Each Israeli] person must obey what I am commanding you this day. Do not forget that [if you obey me], I will expel the Amor, Canaan, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups [from the land]. But be careful that you do not make any [peace] agreements with any of the people who live in the land into which you are going, because if you do that, [you will begin to do the evil things that they do]. It will be [like] falling into a trap.
12 Pran prekosyon nou pou nou pa antre nan ankenn konfyolo ak moun ki rete nan peyi kote nou prale a, paske sa ka tounen yon pèlen pou nou.
13 Okontrè, se pou nou kraze lòtèl yo, dechouke tout vye ròch moniman yo te kanpe. Koupe tout poto bwa yo te plante pou zidòl yo.
You must tear down their altars, destroy their sacred pillars, and cut down [the poles that they use to worship their female goddess] Asherah.
14 Nou pa fèt pou nou sèvi lòt bondye paske mwen menm, Seyè a, yo rele m' Bondye ki fè jalouzi. Mwen se yon Bondye ki fè jalouzi anpil.
You must worship only me, [and] not worship any other god, because I, Yahweh, cannot endure any rivals.
15 Pa antre nan ankenn konfyolo ak moun ki rete nan peyi a, paske lè y'ap sèvi bondye yo, lè y'ap touye bèt pou yo, sa y'ap fè a se menm bagay ak fanm k'ap fè jennès. Lè sa a y'a konprann pou yo vin envite nou. Konsa nou ka tonbe nan manje vyann bèt yo te ofri bay zidòl yo.
Do not make peace agreements with [any group] that lives in that land. When they worship their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they invite you to join them, do not join them. If [you join them], you will eat the food that they sacrifice to their gods, and [you will not be faithful to me. You will be like people who] commit adultery, [who are not being faithful to their spouses] [MET].
16 Konsa konsa, yon lè n'a pran pitit fi moun sa yo pou madanm pitit gason nou yo. Lè pitit fi yo menm va lage kò yo nan sèvis lòt bondye yo, yo ka pran tèt pitit gason nou yo, fè yo vire do ban mwen pou y al sèvi bondye pa yo a, tankou lè yon nonm kite madanm li pou l' al dèyè lòt fanm.
If you take some of their women to be wives for your sons, and these women worship their own gods, they will persuade your sons also to worship their gods.
17 Piga ou janm fonn metal pou fè estati ki pou sèvi ou bondye.
Do not pour melted metal into molds to make statues for you to worship.
18 Se pou ou toujou fete fèt pen san ledven an. Pandan sèt jou nan mwa Abib la, nou va manje pen san ledven, jan mwen te ban nou lòd la, paske se nan mwa sa a nou te soti kite peyi Lejip.
[Each year], during the month [of/named] Abib, celebrate the Festival of Eating Bread Made Without Yeast. [During that festival], for seven days you must not eat bread made with yeast, as I commanded you, because it was in that month that you left Egypt.
19 Tout premye pitit gason se pou mwen yo ye. Konsa tou, tout bèt, kit se bèf, kit se mouton, kit se kabrit, premye pitit mal yo fè, se pou mwen yo ye tou.
Your firstborn sons and the firstborn [male] animals of your cattle and sheep [and goats] belong to me.
20 Men, lè yon manman bourik fè premye pitit mal li, nou ka achte l' nan men m'. N'a ban mwen yon mouton pou li. Si nou pa vle peye pou li, se pou nou kase kou l'. Konsa tou, nou va achte nan men m' tout premye pitit gason gason nou yo va fè. N'a ban mwen kichòy pou yo. Piga pesonn janm parèt devan mwen de men l' vid.
The firstborn of your [male] donkeys [also belong to me]. But you may buy them back by [offering to me] lambs [in their place]. If you do not do that, you must [kill these animals by] breaking their necks. You must also buy back your firstborn sons. You must bring an offering to me [LIT] each time you come to [worship] me.
21 W'a travay sis jou. Men setyèm jou a, se pou ou sispann travay, te mèt nan sezon plante osinon nan sezon rekòt.
[Each week] you may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. [Even] during the times when you plow [the ground] and harvest [your crops], you must rest [on the seventh day].
22 W'a fete fèt Senmenn yo, fèt premye grap ble ou koupe lè rekòt la. Lèfini, nan fen lanne a w'a fete fèt Rekòt la.
[Each year] celebrate the Harvest Festival, when you begin to harvest the first crop of wheat, and also celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, when you finish harvesting [the grain and fruit].
23 Twa fwa chak lanne, tout gason ki nan mitan nou gen pou parèt devan mwen, Seyè sel Mèt la, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
Three times each year all the men must come to worship me, Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
24 Lè m'a fin mete lòt nasyon yo deyò pou fè plas pou nou, lè m'a fin laji teritwa nou an, pesonn p'ap gen lanbisyon pou yo seye vin pran peyi a nan men nou lè n'a moute chak lanne pou parèt devan mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou fete twa fèt sa yo.
I will expel the people-groups that live in the land [where you will be], and I will cause your territory to become very large. As a result, no group will try to conquer your country if you come to worship me each year during those three festivals.
25 Lè n'ap touye yon bèt pou ofri l' ban mwen, piga nou janm sèvi ak pen ki fèt ak ledven. Lè fèt Delivrans lan menm, piga nou kite ankenn vyann bèt yo touye pou fèt la rete pou denmen maten.
When you sacrifice an animal [MTY] to me, do not offer with it bread that is made with yeast. And during the Passover Festival, when you sacrifice lambs, do not keep any of the meat until the next morning.
26 N'a pran pi bèl fwi nan premye rekòt jaden nou yo, n'a pote yo bay Seyè a, Seyè nou an, lakay li. Piga ou janm kwit yon ti mouton nan lèt manman l'.
I am Yahweh God. You must bring to my Sacred Tent the first part of the grain that you harvest each year. When you kill a young animal/kid [either a lamb or a calf], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
27 Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Ekri tout pawòl sa yo, paske se dapre pawòl sa yo m'ap siyen kontra m' lan avè ou ansanm avèk pèp Izrayèl la.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Write down the words that I have told you. By giving you these commands, I have made a solemn agreement with you and with the [other] Israeli people.”
28 Moyiz te rete la avèk Seyè a pandan karant jou karant nwit. Li pase tout jou sa yo san manje san bwè. Li te ekri tout pawòl kontra a sou ròch plat yo. Se te dis kòmandman yo.
Moses/I was there [on the top of the mountain] with Yahweh for 40 days and nights. During that time he/I did not eat or drink anything [SYN]. He/I engraved on the stone slabs the words of the Ten Commandments, [which were part of Yahweh’s] solemn agreement.
29 Lè Moyiz desann soti sou mòn Sinayi a, li t'ap pote de ròch plat yo nan men l'. Men, gen yon bagay li pa t' konnen. Lè li t'ap pale ak Seyè a, figi l' te vin klere byen bèl.
When Moses/I came back down the mountain, carrying in his/my hand the two stone slabs on which were written the Ten Commandments, his/my face was shining because he/I had been talking with Yahweh, but he/I did not know that his/my face was shining.
30 Arawon ak tout pèp la t'ap gade Moyiz, yo we jan figi l' te klere, yo te pè pwoche bò kote l'.
When Aaron and the [other] Israeli people saw Moses/me, they were amazed/surprised that his/my face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him/me.
31 Men Moyiz rele yo. Arawon vin jwenn li ansanm ak tout chèf pèp la. Moyiz pale ak yo.
But Moses/I called to them. Then Aaron and the other Israeli leaders came to him/me, and he/I talked with them.
32 Apre sa, tout rès pèp Izrayèl la pwoche, epi Moyiz ba yo tout lòd li te resevwa nan men Seyè a sou mòn Sinayi a.
Afterwards, all the other Israeli people came near, and he/I told them all the laws that Yahweh had given to him/me on Sinai Mountain.
33 Lè Moyiz fin pale ak yo, li kouvri figi li ak yon twal.
When Moses/I finished talking to the people, he/I put a veil over his/my face.
34 Chak fwa Moyiz antre nan tant lan devan Seyè a pou pale avè l', li toujou wete twal la jouk li soti deyò ankò. Lè l' soti, li rakonte pèp Izrayèl la tou sa Seyè a te ba li lòd di yo.
But whenever Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent to talk with Yahweh, he/I removed the veil. When he/I came back out, he/I would always tell to the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me [to tell them].
35 Lè konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo gade, yo wè figi Moyiz te klere byen bèl. Apre sa, Moyiz remete twal la sou figi l' ankò, pou jouk lè li antre ankò pou l' pale ak Seyè a.
The Israeli people would see that Moses’/my face was [still] shining. Then he/I would put the veil back on his/my face again until the next time that he/I went into [the Sacred Tent] to talk with Yahweh.
