Egzòd 3

1 Alò, Moïse t ap swiv bann mouton Jétro a, bòpè li, prèt Madyan an. Li te mennen bann mouton an vè fas lwès nan dezè a, e li te vini Horeb, sou mòn Bondye a.

And Moses was feeding the flock of Jothor his father-in-law, the priest of Madiam; and he brought the sheep near to the wilderness, and came to the mount of Choreb.

2 Zanj Bondye a te parèt kote li nan yon flanm dife ki t ap brile nan mitan yon ti bwa. Li te gade, e vwala, ti bwa a t ap fè flanm dife, men brile a pa t fè l disparèt.

And an angel of the Lord appeared to him in flaming fire out of the bush, and he sees that the bush burns with fire, —but the bush was not consumed.

3 Alò, Moïse te di: “Se fò pou m vire akote koulye a pou m al wè bagay etonan sila a, poukisa ti bwa a pa brile nèt.”

And Moses said, I will go near and see this great sight, why the bush is not consumed.

4 Lè SENYÈ a te wè ke li te vire akote pou gade, Bondye te rele li depi nan mitan ti bwa a, e te di: “Moïse, Moïse!” Li te di: “Men Mwen.”

And when the Lord saw that he drew near to see, the Lord called him out of the bush, saying, Moses, Moses; and he said, What is it?

5 Li te di: “Pa vin pre isit la. Retire sapat nan pye ou, paske plas kote ou kanpe a se tè sen.”

And he said, Draw not near hither: loose your sandals from off your feet, for the place whereon you stand is holy ground.

6 Li te di anplis: “Mwen se Bondye a zansèt ou yo, Bondye Abraham nan, Bondye a Isaac, e Bondye a Jacob la.” Moïse te kache figi li, paske li te pè gade Bondye.

And he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraam, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and Moses turned away his face, for he was afraid to gaze at God.

7 SENYÈ a te di: “Mwen vrèman te wè soufrans a pèp Mwen an ki an Égypte la, e Mwen te reponn a kri pa yo, akoz sila yo k ap peze yo, paske Mwen konnen soufrans yo.

And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry [caused] by their taskmasters; for I know their affliction.

8 Konsa, Mwen te desann pou delivre yo anba pouvwa Ejipsyen yo, pou mennen yo monte kite peyi sa a pou rive nan yon bon peyi byen vast, yon peyi k ap koule lèt ak myèl, nan plas kote Kananeyen yo avèk Etyen yo, Amoreyen yo avèk Ferezyen yo, Evyen yo, ak Jebizyen yo.

And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.

9 Alò, gade byen kri fis Israël yo gen tan rive devan M. Anplis, Mwen te wè avèk ki opresyon Ejipsyen yo ap oprime yo a.

And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me, and I have seen the affliction with which the Egyptians afflict them.

10 Pou sa, vin koulye a, e Mwen va voye ou kote Farawon, pou ou kapab mennen fis Israël yo soti an Égypte.”

And now come, I will send you to Pharao king of Egypt, and you shall bring out my people the children of Israel from the land of Egypt.

11 Men Moïse te di Bondye: “Kilès mwen ye, pou mwen ta ale kote Farawon, e pou m ta mennen fis Israël yo soti an Égypte?”

And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharao king of Egypt, and that I should bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt?

12 Li te di: “Anverite, Mwen va avèk ou. Men sign a ou menm ke se Mwen ki te voye ou; lè ou fin mete pèp la deyò Égypte, ou va adore Bondye sou mòn sila a.”

And God spoke to Moses, saying, I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that I shall send you forth, —when you bring out my people out of Egypt, then you shall serve God in this mountain.

13 Epi Moïse te reponn Bondye: “Gade byen, lè m ale kote fis Israël yo, e Mwen va di yo: ‘Bondye a zansèt nou yo te voye mwen vè nou.’ Alò, yo kab petèt di mwen: ‘Kòman yo rele Li?’ Kisa m ap di yo?”

And Moses said to God, Behold, I shall go forth to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of our fathers has sent me to you; and they will ask me, What is his name? What shall I say to them?

14 Bondye te di a Moïse: “Mwen Se ke Mwen Ye!” epi Li te di: “Konsa ou va pale a fis Israël yo: ‘Mwen Se te voye mwen kote nou.’”

And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING; and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, THE BEING has sent me to you.

15 Bondye, anplis ke sa te di a Moïse: “Konsa ou va di a fis Israël yo, ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo a, Bondye Abraham nan, Bondye Isaac la, e Bondye a Jacob la, te voye mwen vin kote nou.’ Sa se non Mwen pou tout tan, e sa se non Mwen k ap nan memwa a tout jenerasyon yo.

And God said again to Moses, Thus shall you say to the sons of Israel, The Lord God of our fathers, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and my memorial to generations of generations.

16 ‘Ale rasanble tout ansyen an Israël yo ansanm e di yo: SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt nou yo a, Bondye Abraham nan, Isaac, ak Jacob la, te parèt kote mwen e te di: “Mwen anverite te vizite nou menm, e Mwen te wè sa k ap fèt a nou menm an Égypte la.

Go then and gather the elders of the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, The Lord God of our fathers has appeared to me, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, saying, I have surely looked upon you, and upon all the things which have happened to you in Egypt.

17 “‘Epi Mwen te di: ‘Mwen va mennen nou soti deyò pou kite afliksyon Égypte la, pou rive nan peyi ki pou Kananeyen yo, Etyen yo, Amoreyen yo ak Ferezyen yo, Evyen yo, ak Jebizyen yo nan yon peyi ki koule lèt ak myèl.’”

And he said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of the Egyptians to the land of the Chananites and the Chettites, and Amorites and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.

18 “Yo va koute sa ke ou di yo a. Konsa, ou menm avèk ansyen an Israël yo va vin kote wa Égypte la, e nou va di li: ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye a Ebre yo, te rankontre ansanm avèk nou. Pou sa, souple, kite nou fè yon vwayaj distans a twa jou nan dezè a, pou nou kapab fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.’

And they shall listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel shall go in to Pharao king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us; we will go then a journey of three days into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to our God.

19 Men Mwen konnen ke wa Égypte la p ap kite nou ale, sof ke pa lafòs.

But I know that Pharao king of Egypt will not let you go, save with a mighty hand;

20 “Pou sa Mwen va lonje men M pou frape Égypte avèk tout zèv etonan ke Mwen va fè nan mitan tout sa. Epi apre sa, li va kite nou ale.

and I will stretch out my hand, and strike the Egyptians with all my wonders, which I shall work amongst them, and after that he will send you forth.

21 “Mwen va bay favè a pèp sa a devan zye Ejipsyen yo, e sa va fè ke lè nou prale, nou p ap soti men vid.

And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and whenever you shall escape, you shall not depart empty.

22 Men chak fanm va mande a vwazen li ak fanm ki rete lakay li a pou bay li kèk bagay ki fèt an ajan, avèk kèk bagay ki fèt an lò avèk rad yo. Nou va mete yo sou fis nou ak fi nou yo. Se konsa nou va piyaje Ejipsyen yo.’”

But [every] woman shall ask of her neighbour and fellow lodger, articles of gold and silver, and apparel; and you shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters, —and spoil you the Egyptians.
