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 after the people of Israel had gone out from the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came to the wilderness 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.
After they left Rephidim and came to the wilderness of Sinai, they camped in the wilderness in front of 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:
Moses went up to God. Yahweh called to him from the mountain and said, “You must tell the house of Jacob, the people 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.
You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to 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 then, if you obediently listen to my voice and keep my covenant, then you will be my special possession from among all peoples, for all the earth is mine.
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.”
You will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation for me. These are the words that you must speak to the people 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.
So Moses came and summoned the elders of the people. He set before them all these words that 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.
All the people answered together and said, “We will do everything that Yahweh has said.” Then Moses came to report the people's words to 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “I will come to you in a thick cloud so that the people may hear when I speak with you and may also believe you forever.” Then Moses told the people's words to 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;
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people. Today and tomorrow you must set them apart to me, and make them wash their garments.
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.
Be ready for the third day, for on the third day Yahweh will come down to 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.
You must set boundaries all around the mountain for the people. Say to them, 'Be careful that you do not go up the mountain or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain will surely be put to death.'
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 one's hand must touch such a person. Instead, he must certainly be stoned or shot. Whether it is a person or an animal, he must be put to death. When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they may come up to the foot of the mountain.”
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 from the mountain to the people. He set apart the people to Yahweh and they washed their garments.
15 Li te di a pèp la: “Mete ou prè pou twazyèm jou a; pa pwoche pre fanm.”
He said to the people, “Be ready on the third day; do not go near your wives.”
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.
On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunder and lightning bolts and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very loud trumpet. All the people 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.
Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
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.
Mount Sinai was completely covered with smoke because Yahweh descended on it in fire and smoke. The smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.
19 Lè son twonpèt la te vin pi fò, e pi fò toujou, Moïse te pale, e Bondye te reponn avèk tonnè.
When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in 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.
Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and he summoned Moses to the top. So 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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to me to look, or many of them will perish.
22 Osi, ke prèt ki pwoche toupre SENYÈ yo konsakre yo menm, oswa SENYÈ a va eklate kont yo.”
Let the priests also who come near to me set themselves apart—prepare themselves for my coming—so that I do not attack 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.’”
Moses said to Yahweh, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you commanded us: 'Set boundaries around the mountain and set it apart to Yahweh.'”
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.”
Yahweh said to him, “Go, get down the mountain, and bring up Aaron with you, but do not let the priests and the people break through the barrier to come up to me, or I will attack them.”
25 Konsa, Moïse te desann vè pèp la e te pale yo.
So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
