Egzòd 6
1 SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Alò, koulye a ou va wè kisa mwen va fè a Farawon. Paske anba yon men pwisan, li va lage yo, e anba yon men pwisan, li va pouse yo sòti nan peyi li a.”
But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”
2 Bondye te pale plis avèk Moïse e te di li: “Mwen se SENYÈ a.
God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!
3 Mwen te parèt a Abraham, Isaac, avèk Jacob, kòm Bondye Toupwisan an, men pa pwòp non Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen pa t janm fè yo rekonèt Mwen.
I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’
4 Mwen te anplis etabli akò Mwen avèk yo, pou bay yo peyi Canaran an, peyi kote yo te rete kon etranje.
I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.
5 Anplis de sa, Mwen tande kri fis Israël yo, akoz Ejipsyen yo k ap kenbe yo nan esklavaj, e Mwen sonje akò Mwen an.”
In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.
6 “Pou sa, di a fis Israël yo: ‘Mwen menm se SENYÈ a. Mwen va mennen nou sòti anba fado Ejipsyen yo, e Mwen va delivre nou anba esklavaj pa yo a. Mwen va anplis delivre nou avèk yon bra byen lonje, e avèk gwo jijman.
So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy punishments.
7 “‘Alò, Mwen va pran nou kòm pèp pa m, e Mwen va Bondye pa nou; epi nou va konnen ke Mwen menm se SENYÈ a, Bondye pa nou an, ki te mennen nou sòti anba fado Ejipsyen yo.
I will make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
8 Mwen va mennen nou nan peyi ke M te sèmante pou bay a Abraham, Isaac, ak Jacob la, e Mwen va bannou li kòm posesyon. Mwen menm se SENYÈ a.’”
I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”
9 Alò Moïse te pale konsa avèk fis Israël yo, men yo pa t koute Moïse akoz dekourajman avèk esklavaj di a.
Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.
10 Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
Then the Lord said to Moses,
11 “Ale pale Farawon, wa Égypte la, pou kite fis Israël yo sòti deyò peyi li a.”
“Go and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him to let the Israelites leave his country.”
12 Men Moïse te pale devan SENYÈ a e te di: “Gade byen, fis Israël yo pa t koute mwen. Alò, kijan Farawon ap koute mwen, paske mwen manke swa nan pale?”
But Moses replied, “Even my own people don't listen to me. Why would Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I'm such a poor speaker?”
13 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse avèk Aaron. Li te bay yo yon lòd pou fis Israël yo ak pou Farawon, wa Égypte la pou mennen fis Israël yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la.
But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and told them what to do regarding the people of Israel and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

26 Se tout sa yo ke Senyè te pale lè l te di Aaron avèk Moïse: “Mennen fis Israël yo deyò nan peyi Égypte la selon chèf lame pa yo.”
Aaron and Moses mentioned here are the ones the Lord told, “Lead the Israelites out of Egypt, divided up in their respective tribes.”
27 Se te menm sa yo ki te pale avèk Farawon, wa Égypte la, pou fè yo mennen fis Israël yo sòti an Égypte. Se te menm Moïse avèk Aaron sa a.
Moses and Aaron were also the ones who went to speak with Pharaoh, king of Egypt, about the Israelites leaving Egypt.
28 Alò li te vin rive nan jou ke SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse nan peyi Égypte la,
When the Lord spoke to Moses in Egypt,
29 ke SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse e te di: “Mwen se SENYÈ a. Pale ak Farawon, wa Égypte la, tout sa ke M pale ak ou yo.”
he said to him, “I am the Lord. Tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I tell you.”
30 Men Moïse te di devan SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, lèv mwen yo pa sikonsi. Konsa, kijan Farawon va koute mwen?”
But Moses replied, “I'm not a good speaker—why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
