< Exodus 6 >

1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Now, shalt thou see, what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand, shall he let them go, and with a strong hand, shall he drive them out from his land.
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.”
2 And God spake unto Moses, —and said unto him, I, am Yahweh:
Bondye te pale plis avèk Moïse e te di li: “Mwen se SENYÈ a.
3 I appeared, therefore, unto Abraham unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as GOD Almighty, —although, by my name Yahweh was I not made known to them;
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.
4 Moreover also I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, —even the land of their sojournings wherein they sojourned.
Mwen te anplis etabli akò Mwen avèk yo, pou bay yo peyi Canaran an, peyi kote yo te rete kon etranje.
5 Moreover also, I heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians, were holding in servitude, So then I remembered my covenant.
Anplis de sa, Mwen tande kri fis Israël yo, akoz Ejipsyen yo k ap kenbe yo nan esklavaj, e Mwen sonje akò Mwen an.”
6 Therefore say thou to the sons of Israel-I, am Yahweh, Therefore will I bring you forth from under the burdens of Egypt, And will deliver you out of their service, And will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments;
“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.
7 And will take you to myself for a people, And will become your God, —And ye shall know that, I Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth from under the burdens of Egypt:
“‘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.
8 And I will bring you into the land as to which I uplifted my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, —and will give it to you as an inheritance: I, am Yahweh.
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.’”
9 And Moses spake thus unto the sons of Israel, but they hearkened not unto Moses, through shortness of spirit, and through hard service.
Alò Moïse te pale konsa avèk fis Israël yo, men yo pa t koute Moïse akoz dekourajman avèk esklavaj di a.
10 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
Alò SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse. Li te di:
11 Go in speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
“Ale pale Farawon, wa Égypte la, pou kite fis Israël yo sòti deyò peyi li a.”
12 And Moses spake before Yahweh, saying, —Lo! the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, how then shall Pharaoh, hear, I, also being of uncircumcised lips.
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?”
13 Thus then did Yahweh speak unto Moses and unto Aaron, yea he gave them a charge unto the sons of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, for the bringing forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
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.
14 These, are the heads of their ancestral house: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel, Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These are the families of, Reuben.
Sa yo se te chèf an tèt yo pou lakay papa yo. Fis Ruben yo, premye ne a Israël la: Hénoc, Pallu, Hetsron avèk Carmi.
15 And, the sons of Simeon, Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitess. These, are the families of, Simeon.
Fis Siméon yo: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, ak Tsochar; epi Saül, fis a yon fanm Canaran. Sa yo se fanmi Siméon yo.
16 And, these, are the names of the sons of Levi by their generations, Gershon, and Kohath and Merari, And, the years of the life of Levi, were a hundred and thirty-seven years.
Men non a fis Lévi yo avèk posterite pa yo: Guerschon, Kehath, ak Merari. Ane ke Lévi te viv yo se te san-trant-sèt ane.
17 The sons of Gershon, Libni and Shimei by their families.
Fis Guerschon yo: Libni e Schimeï selon fanmi pa yo.
18 And the sons of Kohath, Amram and Izhar, and Hebron and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath, were a hundred and thirty-three years.

19 And the sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi. These, are the families of the Levites by their generations.
Fis Merari yo: Machli avèk Muschi. Sa yo se fanmi Lévi yo, avèk posterite pa yo.
20 So then, Amram took Jochebed, his father’s sister to himself to wife, and she bare to him—Aaron and Moses. And, the years of the life of Amram, were a hundred and thirty-seven.
Amram te pran pou fanm Jokébed, tant li an; epi li te fè Aaron avèk Moïse. Ane ke Amram te viv yo te de-san-trann-sèt ane.
21 And the sons of Izhar, Korah and Nepheg, and Zichri.
Fis Jitsehar yo: Koré, Népheg avèk Zicri.
22 And the sons of Uzziel, Mishael and Elzaphan, and Sithri.
Fis Uziel yo: Mischaël, Eltsaphan ak Sithri.
23 And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, to himself to wife, —and she bare to him—Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aaron te pran pou fanm Élischéba, fi ki pou Amminidab la, sè Nachschon an; epi li te fè pou li Nadab, Abihu, Éléazar avèk Ithamar kòm pitit.
24 And the sons of Korah, Assir and Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These are the families of the Korahites.
Fis Koré yo; Assir, Elkana, avèk Abiasaph. Sa yo se fanmi tribi Korit yo.
25 And Eleazar, son of Aaron took to himself [one] of the daughters of Putiel, to himself to wife, and she bare to him Phinehas. These, are the heads of the fathers of the Levites by their families.
Éléazar, fis Aaron an, te marye ak youn nan fi Puthiel yo, e li te fè Phinées kòm pitit. Sa yo se chèf an tèt Levit yo selon fanmi pa yo.
26 The same, Aaron and Moses, —to whom said Yahweh, Bring ye forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their hosts:
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.”
27 They who were to speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt: The same, Moses and Aaron.
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.
28 Thus came it to pass, that on a certain day, Yahweh spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt.
Alò li te vin rive nan jou ke SENYÈ a te pale ak Moïse nan peyi Égypte la,
29 So then Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—I, am Yahweh: Speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, all that, I, am speaking unto thee.
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.”
30 And Moses said before Yahweh, —Lo! I, am of uncircumcised lips, how then will Pharaoh hearken unto me?
Men Moïse te di devan SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, lèv mwen yo pa sikonsi. Konsa, kijan Farawon va koute mwen?”
