Egzòd 19
1 Nan twazyèm mwa apre fis Israël yo te soti nan peyi Égypte la, nan jou sa a menm, yo te vin antre nan dezè Sinaï a.
In the third month, by the coming forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day, came they into the desert of Sinai:
2 Lè yo te pati soti Rephidim, yo te vini nan dezè Sinaï a. Yo te fè kan nan dezè a. Se la Israël te fè kan devan mòn lan.
then was it that they brake up out of Rephidim and came into the desert of Sinai, and encamped in the desert, —yea Israel encamped there before the mountain.
3 Moïse te monte vè Bondye. SENYÈ a te rele li soti nan mòn nan. Li te di: “Konsa ou va pale ak lakay Jacob la pou di fis Israël yo:
And when Moses, had gone up unto God, then called Yahweh unto him out of the mountain saying, Thus, shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, And tell the sons of Israel:
4 ‘Nou menm, nou te wè sa ke Mwen te fè Ejipsyen yo, jan Mwen te pote nou sou zèl èg yo, e te mennen nou kote Mwen menm.
Ye, have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, —And how I bare you upon wings of eagles, And brought you in unto myself: —
5 Alò, koulye a, si nou obeyi vwa Mwen, e kenbe akò Mwen, alò nou va pwòp posesyon pa M pami tout pèp yo. Paske tout latè se pou Mwen.
Now, therefore, if ye will, indeed hearken, to my voice, And keep my covenant, Then shall ye be mine as a treasure beyond all the peoples, For, mine, is all the earth;
6 Konsa, nou va pou Mwen, yon wayòm prèt yo, e yon nasyon ki sen.’ Sa yo se pawòl ke ou va pale a fis Israël yo.”
But, ye, shall be mine, As a kingdom of priests, And a holy nation. These, are the words, which thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel.
7 Se konsa Moïse te vini, e te rele ansyen pami pèp yo. Konsa, li te plase devan yo tout pawòl sa yo ke SENYÈ a te kòmande li.
Then came Moses, and called for the elders of the people, —and put before them all these words which Yahweh had commanded him.
8 Tout pèp la te reponn ansanm. Yo te di: “Tout sa ke SENYÈ a te pale yo, nou va fè yo!” Epi Moïse te mennen retounen tout pawòl a pèp yo devan SENYÈ a.
And all the people responded together and said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do. And Moses took back the words of the people, unto Yahweh.
9 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Gade byen, Mwen va vini kote ou nan yon nwaj byen fonse, pou pèp la kapab tande lè M pale avèk ou, e pou yo kapab kwè nan ou pou tout tan.” Alò, Moïse te di SENYÈ a pawòl a pèp la.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Lo! I, am coming unto thee in the veiling of cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak with thee, moreover also, that, in thee, they may trust to times age-abiding. Then told Moses the words of the people unto Yahweh.
10 SENYÈ a anplis te di a Moïse: “Ale vè pèp la, konsakre yo jodi a avèk demen, e kite yo lave vètman yo;
And Yahweh said unto Moses—Go unto the people, and thou shalt hallow them to-day, and to-morrow, —and they shall wash their clothes;
11 epi kite yo fin prepare pou twazyèm jou a, paske nan twazyèm jou a SENYÈ a va vin desann sou Mòn Sinaï a nan zye a tout pèp la.
and shall be ready, by the third day, —for on the third day, will Yahweh come down in the sight of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
12 “Ou va fè bòn limit pou pèp toutotou yo. Ou va di yo: ‘Gade byen pou nou pa monte sou mòn nan, ni touche rebò li. Nenpòt moun ki touche mòn nan va anverite mete a lanmò.
So then thou shalt set bounds for the people round about saying, Take heed to yourselves—that ye go not up into the mountain, nor touch the boundary thereof, whosoever toucheth the mountain, shall, surely die.
13 Nanpwen men k ap mete sou moun sa a, men li va anverite lapide oswa frennen nèt; menm si se moun oswa bèt, li p ap viv.’ Lè twonpèt kòn lan fè yon gwo son, yo va monte vè mòn nan.”
No hand shall touch it but he shall be, surely stoned, or be, surely shot, whether beast or man, he shall not live, —When the ram’s horn soundeth, they themselves, shall come up within the mount,
14 Epi Moïse te desann mòn nan vè pèp la. Li te konsakre pèp la, e yo te lave vètman yo.
Then Moses went down out of the mount, unto the people, —and hallowed the people, and they washed their clothes.
15 Li te di a pèp la: “Mete ou prè pou twazyèm jou a; pa pwoche pre fanm.”
And he said unto the people, Be ready, by the third day, —do not approach a woman.
16 Konsa, li te rive nan twazyèm jou a, lè li te vin maten, te genyen gwo tonnè avèk kout loray avèk yon nwaj byen fonse sou mòn nan, ak yon son twonpèt byen fò, jiskaske tout moun ki te nan kan an te tranble.
And it came to pass on the third day, when the morning had come, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a heavy cloud upon the mount, and the sound of a horn, loud exceedingly, —and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17 Epi Moïse te mennen pèp la sòti nan kan an pou rankontre Bondye. Yo te kanpe nan pye mòn nan.
And Moses brought forth the people, to meet God out of the camp, —and they stationed themselves in the lower part of the mount,
18 Alò, Mòn Sinai te nan lafimen nèt akoz SENYÈ a te desann sou li nan dife. Lafimen li te monte tankou lafimen yon founo, e tout mòn nan te tranble avèk vyolans.
And Mount Sinai, smoked, all over, because Yahweh had come down thereon in fire, —and the smoke thereof went up as the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled exceedingly.
19 Lè son twonpèt la te vin pi fò, e pi fò toujou, Moïse te pale, e Bondye te reponn avèk tonnè.
And as oft as the sound of the horn went on and became exceeding loud, Moses, spake and, God, responded to him with a voice.
20 SENYÈ a te vin desann sou Mòn Sinai, sou tèt mòn nan. Senyè a te rele Moïse anwo tèt mòn nan, epi Moïse te monte.
Thus came Yahweh down upon Mount Sinai unto the top of the mount, —and Yahweh called Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses went up.
21 SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse: “Ale desann avèti pèp la pou yo pa pase antre vè SENYÈ a pou wè; konsa, pou anpil nan yo ta vin mouri.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go down, adjure the people, —lest they press through unto Yahweh to see, and so there fall from among them a multitude.
22 Osi, ke prèt ki pwoche toupre SENYÈ yo konsakre yo menm, oswa SENYÈ a va eklate kont yo.”
Yea, even the priests who do approach unto Yahweh, must hallow themselves, —lest Yahweh break in upon them.
23 Moïse te di a SENYÈ a: “Pèp la pa kapab monte sou Mòn Sinai a, paske Ou te avèti nou, e te di: ‘Mete limit bòn yo antoure mòn nan, e konsakre li.’”
And Moses said unto Yahweh, The people cannot come up into Mount Sinai, —for, thou thyself, hast adjured us saying: Set bounds to the mountain and hallow it.
24 Alò, SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale desann e monte ankò, ou menm e Aaron avèk ou. Men pa kite prèt yo, ni pèp la pase antre pou monte vè SENYÈ a, oswa L ap eklate sou yo.”
And Yahweh said unto him—Away, down, then shalt thou come up, thou and Aaron with thee, —but as for the priests and the people, let it not be that they press through to come up unto Yahweh lest he break in upon them.
25 Konsa, Moïse te desann vè pèp la e te pale yo.
So Moses went down unto the people, —and said [these things] unto them.
