Egzòd 6

1 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Se koulye a ou pral wè sa m' pral fè farawon an. Mwen pral fè l' santi fòs ponyèt mwen. Vle pa vle, l'ap kite yo ale. Wi, m'ap fòse l' sitèlman, se mete l'ap mete yo deyò nan peyi l' a.

But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

2 Bondye pale ak Moyiz, li di l': -Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.

3 Mwen te fè Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb konnen m' sou non Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. Mwen pa t' fè yo konnen m' sou lòt non mwen an, ki vle di: Seyè a.

I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by My name the LORD I did not make Myself known to them.

4 Mwen te pase yon kontra ak yo, mwen te pwomèt pou m' te ba yo peyi Kanaran an, peyi kote yo te viv tankou etranje a.

I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.

5 Koulye a, mwen tande jan pèp Izrayèl la ap plenn. Moun peyi Lejip yo fè yo tounen esklav. Mwen vin chonje kontra mwen te pase ak yo a.

Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant.

6 Men sa ou pral di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Se mwen menm menm ki Seyè a. M'ap ban nou libète nou, m'ap wete nou nan travay di moun peyi Lejip yo ap fòse nou fè a. M'ap delivre nou anba esklavaj kote yo mete nou an. M'ap lonje bra m' pou m' delivre nou, pou pini moun peyi Lejip yo byen pini.

Therefore tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

7 M'ap adopte nou pou pèp mwen, mwen menm m'a Bondye nou. N'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki ban nou libète nou, ki wete nou nan travay di moun peyi Lejip yo ap fòse nou fè a.

I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

8 Apre sa, m'ap mennen nou tounen nan peyi mwen te sèmante m'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap ban nou peyi sa a pou l' rele nou chèmèt.

And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”

9 Moyiz di pèp Izrayèl la sa, men yo pa t' vle kwè l', paske yo te about. Esklavaj la te peze lou sou yo.

Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.

10 Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:

So the LORD said to Moses,

11 -Ale bò kote farawon an, wa Lejip la. Di l' konsa pou l' kite pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi l' la.

“Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.”

12 Men, Moyiz di Seyè a: -Ata pèp Izrayèl la pa t' koute m', atò se farawon an ki ta koute m'? Mwen tou pa konn pale.

But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”

13 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon. Li ba yo lòd pale ak pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak farawon an, wa Lejip la, pou fè yo konnen yo tou de te resevwa lòd fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

14 Men non chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo: Woubenn, premye pitit Izrayèl la. Se li ki papa Enòk, Palou, Ezwon ak Kami. Se tout fanmi Woubenn lan sa.

These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These were the clans of Reuben.

15 Apre li vin Simeyon. Men non pitit Simeyon yo: Jemwèl, Jamen, Arad, Jaken, Taoska ak Sayil, yon pitit li te fè ak yon fanm moun peyi Kanaran. Se tout fanmi Simeyon yo sa.

The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman. These were the clans of Simeon.

16 Apre li vin Levi. Men non pitit Levi yo ak tout pitit yo: Gèchon, Keyat ak Merari. Levi te viv santrannsetan (137 an).

These were the names of the sons of Levi according to their records: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi lived 137 years.

17 Men pitit Gèchon yo ak tout fanmi yo: Libni ak Chimeyi.

The sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimei, by their clans.

18 Men pitit Keyat yo: Amram, Jizeya, Ebwon ak Ouzyèl. Keyat te viv antou santranntwazan (133 an).

The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath lived 133 years.

19 Men pitit Merari yo: Makli ak Mouchi. Se tout branch fanmi Levi yo sa ansanm ak pitit yo.

The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These were the clans of the Levites according to their records.

20 Amram te marye ak Jokebèd, ki matant li bò papa. Jokebèd te fè Arawon ak Moyiz pou li. Amram te viv antou santrannsetan (137 an).

And Amram married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses. Amram lived 137 years.

21 Men pitit Jizeya yo: Kore, Nefèg ak Zikri.

The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.

22 Men pitit Ouzyèl yo: Mikayèl, Elsafan ak Sitri.

The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.

23 Arawon te marye ak Elicheba, pitit fi Aminadab, sè Nakchon. Elicheba te fè Nadab, Abiyou, Eleaza ak ltama pou Arawon.

And Aaron married Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

24 Men non pitit Kore yo: Asi, Elkana ak Abyazaf. Se tout fanmi Kore yo sa.

The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the clans of the Korahites.

25 Eleaza, pitit Arawon an, te marye ak yonn nan pitit fi Poutyèl yo, ki te fè Fineas pou li. Men non tout chèf fanmi Levi yo ak tout moun pa yo.

Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These were the heads of the Levite families by their clans.

26 Se menm Arawon sa a ansanm ak Moyiz Seyè a te di: Fè pitit Izrayèl yo soti kite peyi Lejip la, gwoup pa gwoup.

It was this Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.”

27 Se yo menm tou ki t al di farawon an, wa Lejip la, pou l' fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite Lejip. Wi, se Arawon sa a avèk Moyiz sa a ki te fè tou sa.

Moses and Aaron were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

28 Lè Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz nan peyi Lejip la, men sa li te di l':

Now on the day that the LORD spoke to Moses in Egypt,

29 -Se mwen menm ki Seyè a! Tou sa mwen di ou la a, se pou ou rapòte l' bay farawon an, wa Lejip la.

He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”

30 Men Moyiz koupe pawòl nan bouch Seyè a, li di l': -Pawòl pa vin nan bouch mwen fasil. Ou kwè farawon an pral chita tande m'?

But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
