Egzòd 6

1 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Se koulye a ou pral wè sa m' pral fè farawon an. Mwen pral fè l' santi fòs ponyèt mwen. Vle pa vle, l'ap kite yo ale. Wi, m'ap fòse l' sitèlman, se mete l'ap mete yo deyò nan peyi l' a.

Jehovah said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land."

2 Bondye pale ak Moyiz, li di l': -Se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

Then God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am Jehovah.

3 Mwen te fè Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb konnen m' sou non Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a. Mwen pa t' fè yo konnen m' sou lòt non mwen an, ki vle di: Seyè a.

And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El Shaddai, but I did not make myself known to them by my name Jehovah.

4 Mwen te pase yon kontra ak yo, mwen te pwomèt pou m' te ba yo peyi Kanaran an, peyi kote yo te viv tankou etranje a.

And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, in which they were foreigners.

5 Koulye a, mwen tande jan pèp Izrayèl la ap plenn. Moun peyi Lejip yo fè yo tounen esklav. Mwen vin chonje kontra mwen te pase ak yo a.

Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.

6 Men sa ou pral di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Se mwen menm menm ki Seyè a. M'ap ban nou libète nou, m'ap wete nou nan travay di moun peyi Lejip yo ap fòse nou fè a. M'ap delivre nou anba esklavaj kote yo mete nou an. M'ap lonje bra m' pou m' delivre nou, pou pini moun peyi Lejip yo byen pini.

Therefore tell the children of Israel, 'I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:

7 M'ap adopte nou pou pèp mwen, mwen menm m'a Bondye nou. N'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki ban nou libète nou, ki wete nou nan travay di moun peyi Lejip yo ap fòse nou fè a.

and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am Jehovah your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 Apre sa, m'ap mennen nou tounen nan peyi mwen te sèmante m'ap bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la. Se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap ban nou peyi sa a pou l' rele nou chèmèt.

I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you as a possession. I am Jehovah.'"

9 Moyiz di pèp Izrayèl la sa, men yo pa t' vle kwè l', paske yo te about. Esklavaj la te peze lou sou yo.

Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

10 Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:

Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

11 -Ale bò kote farawon an, wa Lejip la. Di l' konsa pou l' kite pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi l' la.

"Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."

12 Men, Moyiz di Seyè a: -Ata pèp Izrayèl la pa t' koute m', atò se farawon an ki ta koute m'? Mwen tou pa konn pale.

Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying, "Look, the children of Israel haven't listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"

13 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz ansanm ak Arawon. Li ba yo lòd pale ak pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak farawon an, wa Lejip la, pou fè yo konnen yo tou de te resevwa lòd fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite peyi Lejip.

Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a command to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

14 Men non chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo: Woubenn, premye pitit Izrayèl la. Se li ki papa Enòk, Palou, Ezwon ak Kami. Se tout fanmi Woubenn lan sa.

20 Amram te marye ak Jokebèd, ki matant li bò papa. Jokebèd te fè Arawon ak Moyiz pou li. Amram te viv antou santrannsetan (137 an).

Amram took Jochebed his father's sister to himself as wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty-seven years.

21 Men pitit Jizeya yo: Kore, Nefèg ak Zikri.

Eleazar Aaron's son took one of the daughters of Putiel as his wife; and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of ancestral houses of the Levites according to their families.

26 Se menm Arawon sa a ansanm ak Moyiz Seyè a te di: Fè pitit Izrayèl yo soti kite peyi Lejip la, gwoup pa gwoup.

These are the Aaron and Moses to whom God said, "Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their regiments."

27 Se yo menm tou ki t al di farawon an, wa Lejip la, pou l' fè pèp Izrayèl la soti kite Lejip. Wi, se Arawon sa a avèk Moyiz sa a ki te fè tou sa.

These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses and Aaron.

28 Lè Seyè a te pale ak Moyiz nan peyi Lejip la, men sa li te di l':

It happened on the day when Jehovah spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 -Se mwen menm ki Seyè a! Tou sa mwen di ou la a, se pou ou rapòte l' bay farawon an, wa Lejip la.

that Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, "I am Jehovah. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you."

30 Men Moyiz koupe pawòl nan bouch Seyè a, li di l': -Pawòl pa vin nan bouch mwen fasil. Ou kwè farawon an pral chita tande m'?

Moses said before Jehovah, "Look, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?"
