Egzòd 33
1 Alò SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse: “Pati, ale monte soti isit la, ou menm avèk pèp ke ou te mennen monte sòti nan peyi Égypte la, vè yon peyi ke Mwen te sèmante a Abraham, Issac, e a Jacob lè M te di yo: ‘A desandan nou yo Mwen va bay li.’
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], “Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to the land of which I swore to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter], saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’
2 Mwen va voye yon zanj devan ou, e Mwen va mete Kananeyen yo deyò, Amoreyen yo, Evetyen yo, Ferezyen yo, Etyen yo, ak Jebisyen yo.
I will send an angel before you; and I will divorce the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], and the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], and the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher]:
3 Monte vè yon peyi ki koule lèt ak siwo myèl; men Mwen p ap monte nan mitan nou, pwiske nou se yon pèp tèt di, e Mwen ta kapab petèt detwi nou nan chemen an.”
to a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”
4 Lè pèp la te tande pawòl tris sa yo, yo te antre nan gwo doulè, e pèsòn pa t abiye avèk òneman yo.
When the people sh'ma ·heard obeyed· this evil news, they mourned: and no one put on his jewelry.
5 Paske SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Di a fis Israël yo: ‘Nou se yon pèp tèt di; si M ta monte nan mitan nou pandan yon moman, Mwen ta detwi nou. Koulye a, pou sa, retire òneman yo sou nou menm, pou M kapab konnen kisa ke M ta dwe fè avèk nou.’”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Tell the children of Israel [God prevails], ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up into the middle of you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”
6 Konsa, soti Mòn Horeb pou rive pi lwen, fis Israël yo te retire tout òneman yo nèt sou yo menm.
The children of Israel [God prevails] stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb [Desert] onward.
7 Alò Moïse te abitye pran tant lan, li te monte li deyò kan an, yon bon distans a kan an, e li te rele li “Tant Reyinyon an”. Epi tout moun ki t ap chache SENYÈ a te konn ale nan tant reyinyon ki te deyò kan an.
Now Moses [Drawn out] used to take the tent and to pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” Everyone who sought Adonai went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.
8 Epi li te rive ke nenpòt lè ke Moïse te sòti deyò tant lan, ke tout pèp la ta leve kanpe, chak moun nan antre a tant pa yo a, e gade vè Moïse jiskaske li te vin retounen nan tant lan.
When Moses [Drawn out] went out to the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses [Drawn out], until he had gone into the Tent.
9 Nenpòt lè Moïse te antre nan tant lan, pilye a nwaj la te konn desann e kanpe nan antre tant lan; epi SENYÈ a ta pale avèk Moïse.
When Moses [Drawn out] entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and spoke with Moses [Drawn out].
10 Lè tout pèp la te wè pilye a nwaj la ki te kanpe nan antre tant lan, tout pèp la te leve adore, chak moun depi nan antre a tant pa li a.
All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.
11 Konsa SENYÈ a te konn pale avèk Moïse fasafas, menm jan ke yon moun pale avèk zanmi li. Lè Moïse te retounen nan kan an, sèvitè li a, Josué, fis a Nun nan, yon jennonm, ta refize sòti nan mitan tant lan.
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua [Yah Salvation], the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from the Tent.
12 Alò, Moïse te di a SENYÈ a: “Ou wè, Ou di mwen, ‘Monte avèk pèp sa a, men Ou menm ou pa kite m konnen kilès Ou va voye avèk mwen.’ Anplis, Ou te di m: ‘Mwen te konnen ou pa non Ou, e ou osi twouve favè nan zye M.’
Moses [Drawn out] said to Adonai, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people:’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found chen ·grace· in my sight.’
13 Alò, pou sa, mwen priye Ou, si mwen twouve favè nan zye Ou, kite mwen konnen chemen pa Ou yo, pou m kapab konnen Ou, pou m kab jwenn favè nan zye Ou. Konsidere tou, ke nasyon sila a se pèp pa Ou.”
Now therefore, if I have found chen ·grace· in your sight, please show me now your way, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider that this nation is your people.”
14 Konsa, Li te di: “Prezans Mwen va ale avèk ou, e Mwen va bay ou repo.”
He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
15 Epi Moïse te di Li: “Si prezans Ou p ap prale avèk nou, pa mennen nou monte isit la.
He said to him, “If your presence does not go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
16 Paske kijan pèp sa ka konnen ke mwen te twouve favè nan zye Ou, mwen avèk pèp Ou a? Èske se pa lè ou ale avèk nou, ke nou, mwen menm avèk pèp Ou a, kapab distenge pami tout lòt pèp ki rete sou fas tè a?”
For how would people know that I have found chen ·grace· in your sight, I and your people? Is not it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?”
17 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Mwen va osi fè bagay sa ke ou te pale a; paske ou twouve favè nan zye M, e Mwen konnen ou pa non Ou.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found chen ·grace· in my sight, and I know you by name.”
18 Konsa, Moïse te di: “Mwen priye Ou, montre m glwa Ou!”
He said, “Please show me your kavod ·weighty glory·.”
19 Epi Li te reponn li: “Mwen menm va fè tout bonte Mwen pase devan ou, e Mwen va pwoklame non SENYÈ a devan ou. Konsa, Mwen va fè gras a sa ke M vle fè gras yo, e Mwen va montre mizerikòd a sa ke M vle montre mizerikòd yo.”
He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim Adonai’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show racham ·merciful love· on whom I will show racham ·mercy·.”
20 Men Li te di: “Ou p ap kapab wè figi Mwen, paske okenn moun pa ka wè M pou l viv!”
He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
21 SENYÈ a te di: “Gade byen, gen yon plas bò kote Mwen. Ou va kanpe la sou wòch la.
Adonai also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.
22 Epi li va rive ke pandan glwa Mwen ap pase, Mwen va mete ou nan twou wòch la. E Mwen va kouvri ou avèk men M pou jiskaske M fin pase.
It will happen, while my kavod ·weighty glory· passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
23 Alò, Mwen va retire men M, e ou va wè do Mwen, men figi M p ap vizib.”
then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
