Egzòd 31
1 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l':
The Lord told Moses,
2 -Mwen chwazi Bezaleyèl, pitit Ouri, pitit pitit Our, nan branch fanmi Jida a.
“I have chosen by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
3 Mwen mete lespri m' sou li an kantite pou l' ka gen ladrès, bon konprann ak konesans pou l' fè tout kalite travay atizan yo konn fè,
I have filled him with the Spirit of God giving him ability, creativity, and expertise in all kinds of craftsmanship.
4 pou l' ka fè bèl desen, pou l' travay yo an lò, an ajan ak an kwiv,
He can produce designs in gold, silver, and bronze,
5 pou l' travay pyè tankou òfèv yo konn fè a, pou l' moute yo sou nenpòt bagay, pou l' ka fè desen sou bwa, wi pou l' fè tout kalite bon bagay atizan konn fè.
he can cut gemstones to place in settings, and he can carve wood. He is a master of every craft.
6 Nan travay sa a, mwen bay Bezaleyèl yon lòt bòs pou ede l' nan travay la: se Owoliyab, pitit Ayisamak, moun branch fanmi Dann. Konsa tou, tout lòt moun nan pèp Izrayèl la n'a wè ki gen ladrès, konnen se mwen menm ki ba yo l' pou yo ka fè sa mwen mande ou fè a.
I have also chosen Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to help him. I have also given all the craftsmen the skills needed to make everything that I have ordered you to make:
7 Men sa mwen te mande ou fè: Tant Randevou a, Bwat Kontra a avèk ròch plat yo, kouvèti ki pou ale sou bwat la ansanm ak tout mèb ki pou ale nan tant lan,
the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony and its atonement cover, and all the other furniture in the Tent:
8 tab la ak lanp sèt branch an lò a ansanm avèk tout bagay ki pou sèvi avèk yo, lòtèl pou boule lansan an,
the table with its equipment, the pure gold lampstand with all its equipment, the altar of incense,
9 lòtèl pou boule ofrann yo ak tout bagay ki pou sèvi sou lòtèl la, basen lan ak tout pye l' a,
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin plus its stand;
10 bèl rad seremoni, rad pou Arawon, prèt la, ak pou pitit gason l' yo mete sou yo lè y'ap fè sèvis nan tant lan,
as well as the woven clothes for both Aaron the priest and for his sons to serve as priests,
11 lwil pou mete moun apa pou Bondye a ak lansan santi bon pou kote ki apa pou Bondye a. Lè y'ap fè bagay sa yo, se pou yo fè l' jan mwen te di ou la.
as well as anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them following all the instructions I have given you.”
12 Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:
The Lord told Moses,
13 -W'a di pèp Izrayèl la: Se pou nou respekte jou repo mwen yo, paske se va yon siy ant mwen menm ak nou menm, ak tout pitit pitit nou yo, pou fè konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki mete nou apa pou mwen.
“Tell the Israelites, ‘It's absolutely essential that you keep my Sabbaths. The Sabbath will be a sign between me and you for generations to come, so that you'll know that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
14 Se poutèt sa, se pou nou respekte jou repo a paske se yon jou pou nou mete apa pou mwen. Si yon moun pa respekte jou sa a, se pou yo touye l'. Si yon moun fè nenpòt ki travay jou sa a, se pou yo disparèt li nan mitan pèp li a.
You shall keep the Sabbath because it is holy to you. Anyone who dishonors it must be killed. Anyone who works on that day must be cut off from their people.
15 N'a fè tout travay nou pandan sis jou. Men setyèm jou a, se va yon gwo jou repo, jou n'a mete apa pou Seyè a. Nenpòt moun ki fè nenpòt ki travay jou sa a, se pou yo touye l'.
Six days you can work, but the seventh day is to be a Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Anyone who does any work on the Sabbath day must be killed.
16 Se tout pèp la nèt ki pou respekte jou repo a de pitit an pitit. Se yon kontra ki la pou tout tan.
The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath as an everlasting agreement for generations to come.
17 Sa va yon siy ant mwen menm ak pèp Izrayèl la, paske mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen te pran sis jou pou m' fè syèl la ak latè a. Sou setyèm jou a mwen te sispann travay, mwen te pran repo.
It's a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for the Lord made the heavens and the earth in six days, but on the seventh day he stopped and he rested.’”
18 Lè Seyè a te fin pale konsa ak Moyiz sou mòn Sinayi a, li ba li de ròch plat kote li te ekri kontra a ak pròp men li.
When the Lord finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, stone tablets written on by the finger of God.
