Egzòd 34

1 Konsa, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Taye pou kont ou de tablèt an wòch tankou sa nou te genyen yo. Mwen va ekri sou tablèt yo pawòl ki te sou lòt ke ou te kraze yo.

And Yahweh said unto Moses—Hew thee two tables of stone, like the first, —and I will write upon the tables the words which were upon the first tables which thou didst break in pieces;

2 Alò, prepare ou pou maten an pou monte nan Mòn Sinaï, e prezante ou menm la devan Mwen, sou tèt mòn nan.

and be thou ready by the morning, —and thou shalt come up. in the morning, into Mount Sinai; then shalt thou station thyself for me there upon the top of the mount;

3 Nanpwen pèsòn ki pou monte avèk ou, ni pa kite pèsòn vizib nan okenn andwa sou mòn nan. Menm bann mouton yo ak twoupo yo p ap pou manje devan mòn sa a.”

and, no man, may come up with thee, and let no man so much as be seen in all the mount, —and let not even the flocks or the herds, feed in front of that mountain.

4 Konsa, Moïse te koupe de tablèt an wòch tankou sa ki te fèt avan yo. Li te leve granmmaten pou monte sou Mòn Sinaï a, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande li a. Li te pran de tablo an wòch yo nan men l.

So he hewed two tables of stone like the first and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, —and took in his hand two tables of stone.

5 SENYÈ a te desann nan nyaj la, e Li te kanpe la avèk li pandan li t ap rele non SENYÈ a.

And Yahweh descended in the cloud, and took his station with him there, —and proclaimed himself by the name Yahweh.

6 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pase devan li, e Moïse te pwoklame: “SENYÈ a! SENYÈ a, Bondye, ki plen mizerikòd ak konpasyon an, ki lan nan fè kolè, e ki ranpli avèk lanmou ki dous ak verite a;

So Yahweh passed before him, and proclaimed, —Yahweh, Yahweh, A God of compassion and favour, —Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and faithfulness:

7 ki kenbe lanmou dous pandan dè milye de jenerasyon, ki padone inikite, transgresyon ak peche; malgre sa li p ap kite koupab yo san pinisyon. L ap vizite inikite papa yo sou pitit yo, ak sou pitit a pitit yo jis rive nan twazyèm ak katriyèm jenerasyon.”

Keeping lovingkindness to a thousand generations, Forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, Though he leave not, utterly unpunished, Visiting the iniquity of fathers, Upon sons, And upon sons’ sons, Unto a third and unto a fourth generation.

8 Moïse te fè vit bese ba jis atè pou adore.

Then Moses made haste, —and bent his head towards the earth and bowed himself down;

9 Li te di: “Si koulye a mwen twouve favè nan zye Ou, O Senyè a, mwen priye, kite Senyè a ale ansanm nan mitan nou, malgre pèp la se tèt di. Padone inikite nou, peche nou, e pran nou kòm pwòp posesyon pa Ou.”

and said—If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, O My Lord, I pray thee let My Lord go on in our midst, —although a stiff-necked people, it is, so wilt thou pardon our iniquity and our sin and take us as thine own.

10 Alò, Bondye te di: “Gade byen, Mwen va fè yon akò. Devan tout pèp ou a Mwen va fè mirak ki pa t janm fèt nan tout tè a ni pami okenn nan nasyon yo. Epi tout pèp pami sila nou ap viv yo, va wè zèv a SENYÈ a, paske se yon bagay etonan ke Mwen va fè ak ou a.

And he said—Lo! I, am about to solemnise a covenant, -in presence of all thy people, will I do marvellous things, which have not been created in any part of the earth nor among any of the nations, —so shall all the people in whose midst thou, art see the work of Yahweh for a fearful thing, it is, which I, am doing with thee.

11 “Fè sèten ke ou obsève sa ke Mwen kòmande ou nan jou sa a. Gade byen, Mwen va chase devan ou Amoreyen yo, Kananeyen yo, Etyen yo, Ferezyen yo, Evetyen yo, ak Jebisyen yo.

Take thou heed what, I, am commanding thee this day, —behold me! driving out from before thee—the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

12 Veye nou, pou nou pa fè okenn akò avèk sa yo k ap viv nan peyi kote nou prale a, oswa sa va devni yo pèlen nan mitan nou.

Take heed to thyself, Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, whereupon, thou, art about to enter, —Lest he become a snare in thy midst;

13 “Men, olye de sa nou va dechire lotèl pa yo, kraze pilye sakre pa yo e koupe jete Asherim yo.

For their altars, shall ye smash, And their pillars, shall ye shiver, —And their sacred-stems, shall ye fell.

14 Paske nou pa pou adore okenn lòt dye, paske SENYÈ a, ak yon non ke yo rele Jalou, se yon Dye ki jalou.

For thou shalt not bow thyself down to another GOD, —For as for Yahweh, Jealous, is his name, A jealous GOD, he is:

15 “Pa fè yon akò avèk abitan yo nan peyi a, sòf ke yo ta jwe yon wòl kòm pwostitiye avèk dye pa yo, fè sakrifis a dye pa yo, e yon moun ta kab envite nou pou nou manje nan sakrifis li.

Lest thou solemnise a covenant with the inhabitant of the land, —And then as surely as they go unchastely after their gods and sacrifice to their gods, So surely will he invite thee, And thou wilt eat of his sacrifice;

16 Epi pou nou ta vin pran nan fi pa yo pou fis nou yo, e fi pa yo ta kab fè pwostitiye avèk dye pa yo, e vin lakoz ke fis nou yo osi fè pwostitiye avèk dye pa yo.

And thou wilt take of his daughters for thy sons, —And his daughters will go unchastely after their gods, And will cause thy sons to go unchastely after their gods.

17 “Nou p ap fè pou tèt nou okenn dye ki fonn.

Molten gods, shalt thou not make to thee.

18 “Nou va obsève fèt Pen San Ledven an. Pandan sèt jou nou va manje pen san ledven, jan Mwen te kòmande nou an, nan lè dezinye a, nan mwa Abib la, paske nan mwa Abib la nou te sòti an Égypte.

The festival of unleavened cakes, shalt thou keep, seven days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, which I commanded thee, at the set time, in the month Abib, —for in the month Abib, camest thou forth out of Egypt.

19 “Premye pòtre ki sòti nan tout vant se pou Mwen, e nan tout bèt mal ou yo, menm premye pòtre nan bèf yo ak mouton yo.

Every one that is the first to be born, is mine, —and every one of thy cattle that is born a male, firstling of oxen or sheep.

20 Ou va ransone avèk yon jenn mouton premye pòtre a yon bourik; epi si ou pa ransone li, alò, ou va kase kou li. Ou va ransone tout premye ne nan fis nou yo. Pèsòn pa pou parèt devan M men vid.

But the firstling of an ass, thou mayst redeem with a lamb, and if thou wilt not redeem it, then shalt thou break its neck. Every firstborn of thy sons, shalt thou redeem, and he must not see my face, with empty hand.

21 Ou va travay pandan sis jou, men nan setyèm jou a ou va repoze. Menm pandan sezon laboure tè ak rekòlt la ou va repoze.

Six days, shalt thou labour, but on the seventh day, shalt thou rest, —in plowing time and in harvest, shalt thou rest.

22 “Ou va selebre fèt Semèn yo. Sa vle di premye fwi ki sòti nan rekòlt ble a, ak fèt Rekòlt la, nan fen ane a.

And the festival of weeks, shalt thou make to thee, the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, —and the festival of ingathering, at the closing in of the year:

23 Twa fwa pa ane tout mal nou yo va parèt devan Senyè BONDYE a, Bondye Israël la.

three times in the year, shall every one of thy males see the face of the Lord Yahweh the God of Israel.

24 Paske Mwen va chase nasyon yo devan ou, e fè agrandi limit fwontyè ou yo. Pèsòn p ap fè lanvi sou peyi ou lè w ap monte twa fwa pa ane pou parèt devan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a.

For I will root out nations from before thee, and will enlarge thy borders, —and no man shall covet thy land, when thou goes up to see the face of Yahweh thy God, three times in the year.

25 “Ou p ap ofri san sakrifis Mwen yo avèk pen leve, ni kite sakrifis ki pou fèt Pak la rete jis rive nan maten.

Thou shalt not slay, along with anything leavened, the blood of my sacrifice, —neither shall remain to the morning, the sacrifice of the festival of the passover.

26 “Ou va pote premye nan premye fwi tè ou yo pou l antre lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a. Ou pa pou bouyi yon jèn kabrit nan lèt manman li.”

The beginning of the firstfruits of thy ground, shalt thou bring into the house of Yahweh, thy God, Thou shalt not boil a kid, in the milk of its dam.

27 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Ekri mo sa yo. Paske an akò avèk mo sa yo, Mwen te fè yon akò avèk ou, e avèk Israël.”

And Yahweh said unto Moses, Write for thyself these words, for according to the tenor of these words, have I solemnized with thee, a covenant, and with Israel.

28 Li te la avèk SENYÈ a pandan karant jou ak karant nwit. Li pa t manje pen, ni bwè dlo. Konsa, li te ekri sou tablo yo avèk pawòl akò yo, dis kòmandman yo.

So then he was there, with Yahweh, forty days and forty nights, bread, did he not eat and, water, did he not drink, and he wrote upon the tables, the words of the covenant, the ten words.

29 Lè Moïse t ap desann Mòn Sinaï a, avèk de tablo temwayaj yo nan men Moïse lè li t ap desann mòn nan, Moïse pa t konnen ke po figi li te briye akoz li t ap pale avèk Senyè a.

And it came to pass, when Moses came down out of Mount Sinai, with the two tables of testimony in the hand of Moses, when he came down out of the mount, that, Moses, knew not that the skin of his face shone, through his having spoken with him.

30 Pou sa, lè Aaron avèk tout fis Israël yo te wè Moïse, byen gade, po figi li t ap briye, e yo te pè pwoche li.

And Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, and lo! the skin of his face shone, and they stood in awe of drawing nigh unto him.

31 Epi Moïse te rele yo avèk Aaron. Tout dirijan kongregasyon yo te retounen kote li. Konsa, Moïse te pale avèk yo.

So then Moses called unto them, and Aaron and all the princes in the assembly returned unto him, —and Moses spake unto them.

32 Apre sa a, tout fis Israël yo te pwoche, e li te bay yo tout komandman yo ke SENYÈ a te pale ak li nan Mòn Sinaï a.

And afterwards, came nigh, all the sons of Israel, and he gave them in commandment all that Yahweh had spoken with him in Mount Sinai.

33 Lè Moïse te fin pale avèk yo, li te mete yon vwal sou figi li.

And when Moses had made an end of speaking with them, he put over his face a veil:

34 Men nenpòt lè Moïse te antre devan SENYÈ a pou pale avèk Li, li te retire vwal la pou jis lè li te sòti. Epi nenpòt lè li te vin sòti, li te pale avèk fis Israël yo sa ke Senyè a te kòmande yo.

but, as often as Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he put aside the veil until he came out, —and, as often as he came out and spake unto the sons of Israel, that which he had been commanded,

35 Fis Israël yo te wè figi Moïse, ke po figi li t ap briye. Alò, Moïse te remete vwal la sou figi li jis lè li te vin antre pou pale avèk SENYÈ a.

the sons of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses face shone, —so Moses again put the veil over his face, until he went in to speak with him.
