Egzòd 31
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Note that I have chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, [for special tasks].
2 “Gade, Mwen te rele Betsaléel pa non li, fis Uri a, nan tribi Juda.
3 Mwen te ranpli li avèk Lespri Bondye nan sajès, nan konprann, nan konesans, ak nan tout kapasite mendèv yo,
I have caused him to be completely controlled/empowered by my Spirit, and I have given him special ability [to make things] and have enabled him to know how to do very skilled work.
4 pou fè desen pou travay avèk lò, avèk ajan, e avèk bwonz,
He can engrave skillful designs in gold, silver, and bronze.
5 epi nan koupe pyè bijou pou monti, ak nan fè desen sou bwa, pou li kapab fè tout kalite mendèv.
He can cut (jewels/valuable stones) and enclose them [in tiny gold settings/frames]. He can carve things from wood and do other skilled work.
6 “Epi gade byen, Mwen menm te nonmen ansanm avèk li Oholiab, fis Ahisamach la, nan tribi Dan lan; epi osi nan kè tout moun ki ranpli avèk kapasite, Mwen te mete kapasite sa a, pou yo ta kapab fè tout sa ke M te kòmande ou yo:
Note that I have also appointed Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to work with him. I have also given special ability to other men, in order that they can make all the things that I have commanded you [to be made].
7 “Pou tant reyinyon an, lach temwayaj la, chèz pwopyatwa a sou li, ak tout mèb tant lan,
That includes the Sacred Tent, the sacred chest and its lid, all the other things that will be inside the Sacred Tent,
8 tab la osi avèk tout bagay itil li yo, chandelye an lò pi avèk tout bagay itil li yo, ak lotèl lansan an,
the table and all the things that are used with it, the pure gold lampstand and all the things that are used to take care of it, the altar [for burning] incense,
9 lotèl ofrann ki brile yo, osi avèk tout bagay itil li yo, e basen lave a avèk baz li,
the altar for offering sacrifices that will be burned and all the things that will be used with it, the washbasin and its base,
10 epi vètman tise yo tou, vètman sen pou Aaron yo, prèt la, ak vètman pou fis li yo, pou ranpli kapasite prèt la;
all the beautiful sacred clothes for Aaron and his sons to wear when they work as priests,
11 lwil onksyon an osi, ak lansan santi bon pou lye sen an. Yo va fèt selon tout sa ke M te kòmande ou yo.”
the oil for anointing, and the sweet-smelling incense for the Holy Place. [The skilled workers] must make all these things exactly as I have told you to do.”
12 SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
13 “Men pou ou menm, pale a fis Israël yo. Di yo: ‘Nou va vrèman obsève Saba Mwen yo. Paske sa se yon sign antre Mwen ak nou pandan tout jenerasyon pa nou yo, pou nou kapab konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ ki fè nou sen an.
“Tell the Israeli people, ‘Obey my instructions regarding the (rest days/Sabbath days). Those days will remind you [and your descendants], throughout all future generations, that I, Yahweh, have (set you apart/chosen you) to be my people.
14 “‘Pou sa, nou gen pou obsève Saba a, paske li sen pou nou. Tout sila ki vyole li yo va vrèman vin mete a lanmò. Paske nenpòt moun ki fè okenn travay nan li, moun sa a va koupe retire de pèp li yo.
You must obey [my rules about] the Sabbath days because they are holy/sacred. Those who treat those days in an irreverent way by working on those days must be executed [to show that] I no longer consider them to belong to my people.
15 “‘Pandan sis jou nou kapab travay, men nan setyèm jou a, gen yon Saba repo konplè, ki sen a SENYÈ a. Nenpòt moun ki fè okenn travay nan jou sa a va vrèman vin mete a lanmò.
You may work for six days [each week], but the seventh day [of each week] is a solemn day of rest, dedicated to me, Yahweh. Anyone who does any work on a day of rest is to be executed [because I no longer want them to be able to associate with my people].
16 Konsa, fis Israël yo va obsève Saba a, pou selebre Saba a pandan tout jenerasyon pa yo kòm yon akò ki p ap janm sispann.
You Israeli people must respect the rest day, and you [and your descendants] must (celebrate it/keep it holy) throughout all future generations. [It will remind you] of the agreement that I have made with you that will last forever.
17 Li se yon sign antre Mwen avèk fis Israël yo pou tout tan. Paske nan sis jou SENYÈ a te fè syèl la avèk tè a, men nan setyèm jou a Li te pran repo, e Li te vin rafrechi Li.’”
It will remind you Israeli people and remind me [of that agreement] because I, Yahweh, created the heavens and the earth in six days, and on the seventh day I stopped doing that work and relaxed.’”
18 “Lè Li te fin pale avèk li sou Mòn Sinai a, Li te bay Moïse de tablèt temwayaj la. Tablèt yo te fèt an wòch, e yo te ekri pa dwèt SENYÈ a.”
When Yahweh finished talking with Moses/me on the top of Sinai Mountain, he gave him/me the two stone slabs on which he had engraved his commandments with his own fingers.
