Egzòd 4
1 Moïse te di: “Men kisa si yo pa kwè m, ni koute sa ke mwen di a?” Paske yo ka petèt di: “SENYÈ a pa t parèt kote ou.”
Then Moses answered, and said, But lo, they will not beleeue me, nor hearken vnto my voyce: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared vnto thee.
2 SENYÈ a te di li: “Kisa sa ye nan men ou la a?” Epi li te di: “Yon baton.”
And the Lord said vnto him, What is that in thine hande? And he answered, A rod.
3 Li te di: “Jete l atè.” Moïse te jete l atè, e li te vin tounen yon sèpan; epi Moïse te kouri kite l.
Then said he, Cast it on the ground. So he cast it on the grounde, and it was turned into a serpent: and Moses fled from it.
4 Men SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lonje men ou e kenbe l nan ke l.” Li te lonje men l, li te kenbe l nan ke l, e li te tounen yon baton nan men li.
Againe the Lord saide vnto Moses, Put foorth thine hand, and take it by the tayle. Then he put foorth his hande and caught it, and it was turned into a rod in his hand.
5 “Pou yo ta kapab kwè ke SENYÈ a, Bondye Abraham nan, Bondye Isaac la, ak Bondye Jacob la te parèt a ou.”
Do this that they may beleeue, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath appeared vnto thee.
6 SENYÈ a anplis te di l: “Alò, fouye men ou antre kot kè ou.” Konsa, li te mete men l anndan sou kè li, e lè l te rale l deyò, li te devni lèp tankou lanèj.
And the Lord saide furthermore vnto him, Thrust nowe thine hand into thy bosome. And he thrust his hand into his bosome, and when he tooke it out againe, behold, his hand was leprous as snowe.
7 Li te di l: “Mete men ou antre kot kè ou ankò.” Li te mete men l antre kot kè l ankò, e lè l te rale l, konsa, li te vin nèf tankou rès chè li.
Moreouer he said, Put thine hand into thy bosome againe. So he put his hande into his bosome againe, and pluckt it out of his bosome, and behold, it was turned againe as his other flesh.
8 “Si yo pa kwè ou ni resevwa temwayaj premye sign lan, yo ka petèt kwè temwayaj dènye sign lan.
So shall it be, if they wil not beleeue thee, neither obey the voyce of ye first signe, yet shall they beleeue for the voyce of the seconde signe.
9 Men si yo pa kwè menm de sign sa yo ni koute sa ou di a, alò, ou va pran kèk dlo nan lariviyè Nil lan, e vide li sou tè sèch la; epi dlo ke ou pran nan Nil lan va vin tounen san sou tè sèch la.”
But if they will not yet beleeue these two signes, neither obey vnto thy voyce, then shalt thou take of the water of the riuer, and powre it vpon the drie lande: so the water which thou shalt take out of the riuer, shalbe turned to blood vpon the drie land.
10 Moïse te di a SENYÈ a: “Souple, SENYÈ, mwen pa t janm yon moun ki fò nan pale, ni nan tan sa a, ni nan tan pase, ni depi Ou te pale a Sèvitè ou a, paske mwen lan nan pale, e mwen lan nan langaj.”
But Moses said vnto the Lord, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither at any time haue bene, nor yet since thou hast spoken vnto thy seruant: but I am slowe of speach and slowe of tongue.
11 SENYÈ a te di li: “Kilès ki te fè bouch a lòm? Oswa kilès ki te fè l bebe, (oswa) soud, oswa pou l wè oswa pou li pa wè. Èske se pa Mwen, SENYÈ a?
Then the Lord said vnto him, Who hath giuen the mouth to man? or who hath made the domme, or the deafe, or him that seeth, or the blinde? haue not I the Lord?
12 Alò ale, e Mwen menm, Mwen va avèk bouch ou, pou enstwi ou nan kisa ou gen pou di.”
Therefore goe nowe, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
13 Men li te di: “Souple, Senyè, koulye a voye mesaj la pa nenpòt lòt moun ke ou pito.”
But he saide, Oh my Lord, sende, I pray thee, by the hande of him, whome thou shouldest sende.
14 Konsa, lakòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont Moïse, e Li te di: “Èske pa gen frè ou a, Aaron, Levit la? Mwen konnen ke li konn pale avèk fasilite. E anplis de sa, gade, l ap vin rankontre ou. Lè li wè ou, kè li va kontan.
Then the Lord was verie angrie with Moses, and said, Doe not I know Aaron thy brother the Leuite, that he himselfe shall speake? for loe, he commeth also foorth to meete thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
15 “Ou gen pou pale avèk li, e mete pawòl yo nan bouch li. Mwen va avèk bouch pa w ak bouch pa l, e Mwen va enstwi ou kisa ou gen pou fè.
Therefore thou shalt speake vnto him, and put the wordes in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye ought to doe.
16 “Anplis de sa, li va pale a pèp la pou ou. Li va tankou bouch ou, e ou va tankou Bondye pou li.
And he shall be thy spokesman vnto the people: and he shall be, euen he shall be as thy mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God.
17 Ou va pran nan men ou baton sila a; avèk li ou va fè sign yo.”
Moreouer thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do miracles.
18 Konsa, Moïse te pati e te retounen vè Jéthro, bòpè li a. Li te di li: “Souple, kite mwen ale pou mwen kapab retounen bò kote frè m yo an Égypte, pou wè si yo toujou vivan.” Jéthro te di a Moïse: “Ale anpè.”
Therefore Moses went and returned to Iethro his father in lawe, and said vnto him, I pray thee, let me goe, and returne to my brethren, which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet aliue. Then Iethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
19 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Moïse nan Madian: “Ale retounen an Égypte, paske tout mesye ki t ap chache lavi ou yo gen tan mouri.”
(For the Lord had said vnto Moses in Midian, Goe, returne to Egypt: for they are all dead which went about to kill thee)
20 Moïse te pran madanm li avèk fis li yo; yo te monte sou yon bourik e yo te retounen nan peyi Égypte la. Anplis, Moïse te pran baton Bondye a nan men l.
Then Moses tooke his wife, and his sonnes, and put them on an asse, and returned towarde the lande of Egypt, and Moses tooke the rod of God in his hand.
21 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Lè ou retounen an Égypte, fè byen si ke ou fè tout mèvèy yo devan Farawon ke M te bay ou pouvwa fè yo. Men Mwen va fè kè l di pou li pa kite pèp la ale.
And the Lord saide vnto Moses, When thou art entred and come into Egypt againe, see that thou doe all the wonders before Pharaoh, which I haue put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, and he shall not let the people goe.
22 Ou va di a Farawon: ‘Men kijan SENYÈ a pale: Israël se fis Mwen, premye ne Mwen an.
Then thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my sonne, euen my first borne.
23 Epi Mwen te di ou: Kite fis Mwen an ale pou l kapab sèvi M, men ou te refize kite l ale. Gade byen, Mwen va touye fis ou a, premye ne pa w la.’”
Wherefore I say to thee, Let my sonne go, that he may serue me: if thou refuse to let him goe, beholde, I will slay thy sonne, euen thy first borne.
24 Alò li te vin rive ke nan plas lojman an sou wout la SENYÈ a te rankontre Moïse e Li te chache touye li.
And as he was by the waye in the ynne, the Lord met him, and would haue killed him.
25 Konsa, Séphora te pran yon kouto wòch silèks, li te koupe prepis a fis li a; li te jete li devan pye a Moïse, e te di li: “Ou vrèman se yon mari pa san pou mwen menm.”
Then Zipporah tooke a sharpe knife, and cut away the foreskinne of her sonne, and cast it at his feete, and said, Thou art indeede a bloody husband vnto me.
26 Epi li te kite li anpè. Nan moman sa a, li te di: “Ou se yon mari pa san —akoz sikonsizyon an.”
So he departed from him. Then she saide, O bloodie husband (because of the circumcision)
27 Alò SENYÈ a te di a Aaron: “Ale rankontre Moïse nan dezè a.” Konsa li te ale rankontre li nan mòn Bondye a e te bo li.
Then the Lord saide vnto Aaron, Goe meete Moses in the wildernesse. And he went and mette him in the Mount of God, and kissed him.
28 Moïse te di Aaron tout pawòl ke SENYÈ a te voye avèk li a, ak tout sign ke Li te bay li lòd fè yo.
Then Moses tolde Aaron all the wordes of the Lord, who had sent him, and all the signes wherewith he had charged him.
29 Alò, Moïse avèk Aaron te ale e te reyini tout ansyen nan fis Israël yo.
So went Moses and Aaron, and gathered all the Elders of the children of Israel.
30 Konsa, Aaron te pale tout mo ke SENYÈ a te pale bay Moïse yo. Epi li te fè tout sign yo devan zye a pèp la.
And Aaron told all the wordes, which the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, and he did the miracles in the sight of the people,
31 Alò pèp la te vin kwè, lè yo te tande ke SENYÈ a te gen kè pou fis Israël yo, e ke Li te vin wè afliksyon yo. Yo te bese ba, pou te adore Li.
And the people beleeued, and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and had looked vpon their tribulation, they bowed downe, and worshipped.
