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.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Cut two slabs of stone that will be like the first slabs, the ones that you broke. Then I will engrave on them the words that were on the first slabs.
2 Alò, prepare ou pou maten an pou monte nan Mòn Sinaï, e prezante ou menm la devan Mwen, sou tèt mòn nan.
Get ready tomorrow morning, and come up to the top of Sinai Mountain again to talk with me there.
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.”
Do not allow anyone to come up with you. I do not want anyone [else] to be anywhere on the mountain. Do not allow any sheep or cattle to graze (at the base of/near) the 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 Moses/I cut two slabs of stone that were like the first ones. He/I arose early the next morning. He/I took the slabs and carried them in his/my hands up to the top of Sinai Mountain, as Yahweh had commanded.
5 SENYÈ a te desann nan nyaj la, e Li te kanpe la avèk li pandan li t ap rele non SENYÈ a.
Then Yahweh descended in the [tall] cloud and stood with Moses/me there. He proclaimed that it was he, Yahweh, [who was going to speak to Moses/me].
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;
Then Yahweh passed in front of him/me and proclaimed, “I am Yahweh God. I always act mercifully and kindly [toward people]. I do not get angry quickly. I [truly] love [people] and I do what I promise to do for them, without changing.
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.”
I love people for thousands of generations. I forgive people for all kinds of sins [TRI]. But I will certainly punish [LIT] those who are guilty. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).”
8 Moïse te fè vit bese ba jis atè pou adore.
Moses/I quickly prostrated himself/myself on the ground and worshiped [Yahweh].
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.”
He/I said, “Yahweh, if you are now pleased with me, I ask that you go with us. These people are very stubborn [IDM], but forgive us for all our sins [DOU], and accept us to be people who belong to you [forever].”
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.
Yahweh replied, “Note this: I am going to make a solemn agreement [with the Israeli people]. As they are watching, I will perform great miracles. They will be miracles that no one has ever done on the earth in any nation. All the people who are near you will see the great things that I, Yahweh, will do. I will do awesome things for you [all].
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.
[Each Israeli] person must obey what I am commanding you this day. Do not forget that [if you obey me], I will expel the Amor, Canaan, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups [from the land]. But be careful that you do not make any [peace] agreements with any of the people who live in the land into which you are going, because if you do that, [you will begin to do the evil things that they do]. It will be [like] falling into a trap.
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.
13 “Men, olye de sa nou va dechire lotèl pa yo, kraze pilye sakre pa yo e koupe jete Asherim yo.
You must tear down their altars, destroy their sacred pillars, and cut down [the poles that they use to worship their female goddess] Asherah.
14 Paske nou pa pou adore okenn lòt dye, paske SENYÈ a, ak yon non ke yo rele Jalou, se yon Dye ki jalou.
You must worship only me, [and] not worship any other god, because I, Yahweh, cannot endure any rivals.
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.
Do not make peace agreements with [any group] that lives in that land. When they worship their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they invite you to join them, do not join them. If [you join them], you will eat the food that they sacrifice to their gods, and [you will not be faithful to me. You will be like people who] commit adultery, [who are not being faithful to their spouses] [MET].
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.
If you take some of their women to be wives for your sons, and these women worship their own gods, they will persuade your sons also to worship their gods.
17 “Nou p ap fè pou tèt nou okenn dye ki fonn.
Do not pour melted metal into molds to make statues for you to worship.
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.
[Each year], during the month [of/named] Abib, celebrate the Festival of Eating Bread Made Without Yeast. [During that festival], for seven days you must not eat bread made with yeast, as I commanded you, because it was in that month that you left 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.
Your firstborn sons and the firstborn [male] animals of your cattle and sheep [and goats] belong to me.
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.
The firstborn of your [male] donkeys [also belong to me]. But you may buy them back by [offering to me] lambs [in their place]. If you do not do that, you must [kill these animals by] breaking their necks. You must also buy back your firstborn sons. You must bring an offering to me [LIT] each time you come to [worship] me.
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.
[Each week] you may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. [Even] during the times when you plow [the ground] and harvest [your crops], you must rest [on the seventh day].
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.
[Each year] celebrate the Harvest Festival, when you begin to harvest the first crop of wheat, and also celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, when you finish harvesting [the grain and fruit].
23 Twa fwa pa ane tout mal nou yo va parèt devan Senyè BONDYE a, Bondye Israël la.
Three times each year all the men must come to worship me, Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
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.
I will expel the people-groups that live in the land [where you will be], and I will cause your territory to become very large. As a result, no group will try to conquer your country if you come to worship me each year during those three festivals.
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.
When you sacrifice an animal [MTY] to me, do not offer with it bread that is made with yeast. And during the Passover Festival, when you sacrifice lambs, do not keep any of the meat until the next morning.
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.”
I am Yahweh God. You must bring to my Sacred Tent the first part of the grain that you harvest each year. When you kill a young animal/kid [either a lamb or a calf], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
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.”
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Write down the words that I have told you. By giving you these commands, I have made a solemn agreement with you and with the [other] Israeli people.”
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.
Moses/I was there [on the top of the mountain] with Yahweh for 40 days and nights. During that time he/I did not eat or drink anything [SYN]. He/I engraved on the stone slabs the words of the Ten Commandments, [which were part of Yahweh’s] solemn agreement.
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.
When Moses/I came back down the mountain, carrying in his/my hand the two stone slabs on which were written the Ten Commandments, his/my face was shining because he/I had been talking with Yahweh, but he/I did not know that his/my face was shining.
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.
When Aaron and the [other] Israeli people saw Moses/me, they were amazed/surprised that his/my face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him/me.
31 Epi Moïse te rele yo avèk Aaron. Tout dirijan kongregasyon yo te retounen kote li. Konsa, Moïse te pale avèk yo.
But Moses/I called to them. Then Aaron and the other Israeli leaders came to him/me, and he/I talked with 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.
Afterwards, all the other Israeli people came near, and he/I told them all the laws that Yahweh had given to him/me on Sinai Mountain.
33 Lè Moïse te fin pale avèk yo, li te mete yon vwal sou figi li.
When Moses/I finished talking to the people, he/I put a veil over his/my face.
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 whenever Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent to talk with Yahweh, he/I removed the veil. When he/I came back out, he/I would always tell to the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me [to tell them].
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 Israeli people would see that Moses’/my face was [still] shining. Then he/I would put the veil back on his/my face again until the next time that he/I went into [the Sacred Tent] to talk with Yahweh.
