31 ¶ Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l':

-Mwen chwazi Bezaleyèl, pitit Ouri, pitit pitit Our, nan branch fanmi Jida a.

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,

pou l' ka fè bèl desen, pou l' travay yo an lò, an ajan ak an kwiv,

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.

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.

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,

tab la ak lanp sèt branch an lò a ansanm avèk tout bagay ki pou sèvi avèk yo, lòtèl pou boule lansan an,

lòtèl pou boule ofrann yo ak tout bagay ki pou sèvi sou lòtèl la, basen lan ak tout pye l' a,

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,

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.

12 ¶ Seyè a di Moyiz konsa:

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.

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.

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'.

16 Se tout pèp la nèt ki pou respekte jou repo a de pitit an pitit. Se yon kontra ki la pou tout tan.

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.

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.

32 ¶ Lè pèp la wè Moyiz te rete lontan sou mòn lan san li pa desann, yo sanble bò kote Arawon, yo di l' konsa: -Ann debouye nou fè lòt bondye ki pou mache devan nou, paske nonm yo rele Moyiz la ki te fè nou moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, nou pa konn sa ki rive l'.

Arawon di yo: -Wete tout zanno lò ki nan zòrèy madanm nou yo ak nan zòrèy pitit fi ak pitit gason nou yo, pote yo ban mwen.

Konsa, tout pèp la wete zanno lò yo te gen nan zòrèy yo, yo pote yo bay Arawon.

Arawon pran zanno yo, li fonn yo, li koule lò a nan yon moul, li fè estati yon ti towo bèf. Pèp la di: -Pèp Izrayèl, men bondye nou an. Se li ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.

Lè Arawon wè sa, li bati yon lòtèl devan estati ti towo bèf la, epi li di yo: -Denmen m'ap fè yon gwo fèt pou Seyè a.

Nan denmen maten yo leve byen bonè, yo touye bèt, yo boule yo nèt ofri bay Seyè a. Yo touye lòt bèt tou pou di l' mèsi. Apre sa, pèp la chita, yo manje, yo bwè. Lèfini, yo leve pou yo pran plezi yo.

¶ Lè sa a, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Ale non, ou mèt desann. Paske pèp ou a, pèp ou te fè moute soti nan peyi Lejip la, gen tan deraye, yo lage tèt yo nan bwa.

Yo gen tan kite chemen mwen te mande yo swiv la. Yo pran lò, yo fonn li, yo fè estati yon ti towo bèf, yo tonbe fè sèvis pou li, yo touye bèt ofri ba li, epi yo di: Pèp Izrayèl, men bondye nou an. Se li ki te fè nou soti kite peyi Lejip la.

Seyè a di Moyiz ankò: -Mwen wè pèp sa a se yon pèp ki gen tèt di.

10 Bon, koulye a kite m' al regle ak yo. Mwen pral fè yo konnen lè m' an kòlè, m'ap detwi yo, m'ap boule yo. Men, ou menm, m'ap fè ou vin yon gwo nasyon.

11 Moyiz kriye nan pye Seyè a, Bondye l' a, li di l': -Seyè, poukisa pou ou ta koute kòlè ou pou ou fache sou pèp ki pou ou a, pèp ou menm menm te fè moute soti kite Lejip avèk gwo pouvwa ou, avèk fòs ponyèt ou?

12 Atò, sa pou moun peyi Lejip yo di? y'a di: Ala Bondye malveyan! Li fè yo soti kite Lejip pou l' te ka touye yo nan mòn yo, pou l' te ka disparèt yo sou latè. Seyè, pa koute kòlè ou! Chanje lide. Pa fè malè sèk sa a tonbe sou pèp ou a.

13 Chonje sèvitè ou yo, Abraram, Izarak ak Izrayèl. Chonje pwomès ou te fè yo. Ou te fè sèman sou tèt ou, ou te di yo: M'ap ban nou pitit pitit an kantite, y'ap tankou zetwal nan syèl la. M'ap bay pitit pitit nou yo tout peyi mwen te di m'ap ban nou an, pou peyi a rele yo chèmèt pou tout tan.

14 Lè sa a, Seyè a chanje lide, li pa voye malè sèk li te fè lide voye sou pèp la ankò.

15 ¶ Moyiz pran chemen pou l' tounen. Li desann soti nan mòn lan avèk de ròch plat kontra a nan men l'. Ròch yo te ekri sou tout kò yo, devan kou dèyè.

16 Se Bondye menm ki te travay ròch plat sa yo. Se li menm tou ki te ekri sou yo ak pròp men li. Se li ki te grave tout lèt ki ekri sou ròch yo.

17 Jozye te tande pèp la ki t'ap rele byen fò anba a. Li di Moyiz: -Pou tout bri mwen tande a, gen gwo goumen nan kan an!

18 Men Moyiz reponn li: -Non! Non! Kalite chante sa a, se pa chante moun ki genyen yon batay ni chante moun ki pèdi batay. Se de gwoup moun k'ap chante: yonn ap reponn lòt.

19 Lè Moyiz rive toupre kan an, li wè estati ti towo bèf la ak moun yo ki t'ap danse. Moyiz fè yon sèl kòlè, li voye ròch plat ki te nan men l' yo jete. Yo tonbe, y al kraze an miyèt moso anba pye mòn lan.

20 Li pran estati ti towo bèf yo te fè a, li boule l', li kraze l', li fè l' tounen pousyè. Li simen pousyè a nan dlo. Lèfini, li fè moun Izrayèl yo bwè dlo a.

21 ¶ Apre sa li di Arawon: -Kisa moun sa yo fè ou menm pou ou kite yo fè kalite gwo peche sa a?

22 Arawon reponn li: -Mèt, tanpri, pa fache sou mwen! Ou menm, ou konnen jan pèp sa a toujou pare pou fè sa ki mal.

23 Se yo menm ki di m' fè bondye pou yo, bondye ki pou mache devan yo, paske yo pa konnen sa ki rive Moyiz, nonm sa a ki te fè yo soti kite Lejip la.

24 Lè sa a, mwen mande kilès nan mitan yo ki gen lò. Tout moun ki te gen lò sou yo ban mwen l'. Mwen lage lò a nan dife, epi estati ti towo bèf sa a parèt.

25 Moyiz wè pèp la te fin dechennen, paske Arawon te lage brid ba yo, yo te lage kò yo nan sèvi zidòl. Sa fè yo pa t' anyen ankò devan lènmi yo.

26 Moyiz kanpe nan pòtay lakou kan an, li pale byen fò, li di: -Tout moun ki pou Seyè a, vin jwenn mwen. Se konsa tout pitit Levi yo vin jwenn li.

27 Li di yo: -Men sa Seyè a, li menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la di: Se pou nou chak pran nepe nou, mache nan tout kan an, depi nan pòtay sa a rive jouk lòt bò a. Touye mezi moun ki tonbe anba men nou, kit se frè nou, kit se zanmi nou, osinon vwazinaj nou.

28 Pitit Levi yo fè sa Moyiz te ba yo lòd fè a. Jou sa a, te gen twamil moun konsa nan pèp la ki te pèdi lavi yo.

29 Moyiz di pitit Levi yo: -Jòdi a, avèk san pitit gason nou yo ak san frè nou yo nou fè koule a, nou mete tèt nou apa nèt pou sèvis Seyè a. Se poutèt sa tou, Seyè a pa manke ban nou benediksyon l' jòdi a.

30 ¶ Nan denmen, Moyiz rele pèp la, li di yo: -Nou te fè yon gwo peche. Men koulye a, mwen pral moute sou mòn lan bò kote Seyè a. m'a wè si m' ka jwenn padon pou peche nou an.

31 Moyiz tounen bò kote Seyè a. Li di l': -Ou wè gwosè peche pèp la fè. Yo fè yon estati an lò pou sèvi yo bondye.

32 Men, tanpri, padonnen peche yo. Si se pa sa, tanpri efase non m' nan liv ou a.

33 Seyè a reponn Moyiz, li di l': -Moun ki peche kont mwen an, se non l' pou m' efase nan liv mwen an.

34 Koulye a, ou mèt ale. W'a mennen pèp la kote mwen te di ou mennen yo a. Chonje byen. Zanj mwen an ap mache devan ou. Men, lè jou a va rive pou m' vin fè regleman ak yo a, m'ap pini yo pou peche yo.

35 Seyè a te voye yon maladi sou pèp la pou pini l', paske yo te fòse Arawon fè estati yon ti bèf pou yo.

33 ¶ Seyè a di Moyiz: -Leve non, ou menm ak tout pèp ou te fè soti kite Lejip la. Kite kote nou ye a. Pran chemen pou n' ale nan peyi mwen te sèmante bay Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb la, lè m' te di yo m'ap ba yo tè sa a pou pitit pitit yo.

M'ap voye yonn nan zanj mwen yo devan nou. M'ap mete moun Kanaran yo, moun Amori yo, moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, ak moun Jebis yo deyò sou tè yo a.

Ale. W'ap rive nan yon peyi kote lèt ak siwo myèl koule tankou dlo. Men, se pa mwen menm menm ki prale ansanm ak nou, paske nou se yon bann moun ki gen tèt di, mwen ta ka touye nou sou wout la.

Lè pèp la tande move nouvèl sa a, yon sèl lapenn pran yo. Tout moun refize pote bijou sou yo.

Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Di pitit Izrayèl yo se yon bann moun ki gen tèt di yo ye. Si se pou m' ta ale ak yo, menm yon sèl ti kadè, mwen ta fin estèminen yo nèt. Koulye a, se pou yo wete tout bijou yo gen sou yo. Lè sa a m'a wè, sa m' ka fè pou yo.

Se konsa, depi sou mòn Orèb, moun Izrayèl yo pa janm pote bijou ankò sou yo.

¶ Moyiz pran tant lan, li mete l' yon ti distans an deyò limit kan kote yo te enstale a. Li rele l' Tant Randevou a. Tout moun ki te bezwen pale ak Seyè a te blije soti nan kan an pou ale nan Tant Randevou a.

Chak fwa Moyiz te soti pou l al nan tant lan, tout pèp la te fèt pou kanpe, chak moun devan papòt kay yo, ap gade Moyiz jouk li antre nan tant lan.

Depi Moyiz antre nan tant lan, poto nwaj la desann, li kanpe sou papòt tant lan. Epi Seyè a pran pale ak Moyiz.

10 Lè tout moun wè poto nwaj la kanpe nan papòt tant lan, yo leve, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan papòt kay pa yo.

11 Seyè a te konn pale fasafas ak Moyiz tankou yon moun k'ap pale ak zanmi l'. Apre sa, Moyiz te tounen nan kan kote pèp la te enstale a. Men, te gen yon jenn gason yo te rele Jozye, pitit gason Noum lan, ki t'ap sèvi ak Moyiz. Li menm, li pa t' janm kite tant lan.

12 ¶ Moyiz di Seyè a: -Ala ou di m' fè pèp la moute ale nan peyi a, men ou pa di m' kilès w'ap voye avè m' pou ede m'. Men, koulye a ou di m' ou konnen m' byen, ou konnen ki moun mwen ye. Ou kontan mwen anpil.

13 Bon, si ou kontan m' vre, tanpri, fè m' konnen lide ou gen nan tèt ou pou m' ka konnen ki moun ou ye, pou m' ka toujou fè ou plezi. Chonje tou, pèp sa a se pa ou li ye wi!

14 Seyè a reponn: -Se mwen menm k'ap mache avè ou. M'ap fè ou jwenn repo.

15 Moyiz di l': -Si se pa ou menm menm k'ap mache avè nou, ou pa bezwen kite nou soti isit la.

16 Lè ou gade byen, ki jan pou mwen fè konnen ou konsidere m' anpil, mwen menm ansanm ak pèp ou a? Eske se pa lè ou mache ak nou? Si ou mache ak nou, tout moun va rekonèt mwen menm ansanm ak pèp la, nou pa menm ak lòt pèp ki sou latè yo.

17 Seyè a di Moyiz: -m'a fè sa ou mande m' lan, paske ou fè kè m' kontan anpil. Mwen konnen ki moun ou ye.

18 Moyiz di l': -Tanpri, fè m' wè pouvwa ou!

19 Lè sa a Seyè a reponn li: -M'ap fè ou wè jan m' gen bon kè, m'ap nonmen non m' devan ou. M'ap fè moun mwen vle gras, m'ap gen pitye pou moun mwen vle gen pitye.

20 Seyè a pale ankò, li di-Ou p'ap kapab wè figi m', paske ankenn moun sou latè pa kapab wè figi m' pou l' kontinye ap viv apre sa.

21 Li di ankò: -Men yon ti plas bò kote m'. W'a kanpe sou ròch sa a.

22 Lè pouvwa mwen vin ap pase, m'ap mete ou nan twou ròch la, m'a kouvri ou avèk men mwen jouk mwen fin pase.

23 Apre sa, m'a wete men m' sou ou. Se do m' ase w'a wè ki prale, men ou p'ap wè figi m'.

Bezalel and Oholiab(A)

31 Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel(B) son of Uri, the son of Hur,(C) of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge(D) and with all kinds of skills(E) to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab(F) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan,(G) to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers(H) to make everything I have commanded you: the tent of meeting,(I) the ark of the covenant law(J) with the atonement cover(K) on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— the table(L) and its articles, the pure gold lampstand(M) and all its accessories, the altar of incense,(N) the altar of burnt offering(O) and all its utensils, the basin(P) with its stand— 10 and also the woven garments(Q), both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, 11 and the anointing oil(R) and fragrant incense(S) for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded(T) you.”

The Sabbath

12 Then the Lord said to Moses, 13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths.(U) This will be a sign(V) between me and you for the generations to come,(W) so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.(X)

14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death;(Y) those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work(Z) is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest,(AA) holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath,(AB) celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign(AC) between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.(AD)’”(AE)

18 When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai,(AF) he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone(AG) inscribed by the finger of God.(AH)

The Golden Calf

32 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain,(AI) they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods[a] who will go before(AJ) us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.”(AK)

Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings(AL) that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron. He took what they handed him and made it into an idol(AM) cast in the shape of a calf,(AN) fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods,[b](AO) Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”(AP)

When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, “Tomorrow there will be a festival(AQ) to the Lord.” So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings.(AR) Afterward they sat down to eat and drink(AS) and got up to indulge in revelry.(AT)

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt,(AU) have become corrupt.(AV) They have been quick to turn away(AW) from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol(AX) cast in the shape of a calf.(AY) They have bowed down to it and sacrificed(AZ) to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’(BA)

“I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked(BB) people. 10 Now leave me alone(BC) so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy(BD) them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”(BE)

11 But Moses sought the favor(BF) of the Lord his God. “Lord,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?(BG) 12 Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’?(BH) Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster(BI) on your people. 13 Remember(BJ) your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self:(BK) ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars(BL) in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land(BM) I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’” 14 Then the Lord relented(BN) and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

15 Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant law(BO) in his hands.(BP) They were inscribed(BQ) on both sides, front and back. 16 The tablets were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.(BR)

17 When Joshua(BS) heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “There is the sound of war in the camp.”

18 Moses replied:

“It is not the sound of victory,
    it is not the sound of defeat;
    it is the sound of singing that I hear.”

19 When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf(BT) and the dancing,(BU) his anger burned(BV) and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces(BW) at the foot of the mountain. 20 And he took the calf the people had made and burned(BX) it in the fire; then he ground it to powder,(BY) scattered it on the water(BZ) and made the Israelites drink it.

21 He said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you led them into such great sin?”

22 “Do not be angry,(CA) my lord,” Aaron answered. “You know how prone these people are to evil.(CB) 23 They said to me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.’(CC) 24 So I told them, ‘Whoever has any gold jewelry, take it off.’ Then they gave me the gold, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf!”(CD)

25 Moses saw that the people were running wild and that Aaron had let them get out of control and so become a laughingstock(CE) to their enemies. 26 So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.” And all the Levites rallied to him.

27 Then he said to them, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.’”(CF) 28 The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. 29 Then Moses said, “You have been set apart to the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day.”

30 The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin.(CG) But now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement(CH) for your sin.”

31 So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed!(CI) They have made themselves gods of gold.(CJ) 32 But now, please forgive their sin(CK)—but if not, then blot me(CL) out of the book(CM) you have written.”

33 The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out(CN) of my book. 34 Now go, lead(CO) the people to the place(CP) I spoke of, and my angel(CQ) will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish,(CR) I will punish them for their sin.”

35 And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf(CS) Aaron had made.

33 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go up to the land I promised on oath(CT) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’(CU) I will send an angel(CV) before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(CW) Go up to the land flowing with milk and honey.(CX) But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked(CY) people and I might destroy(CZ) you on the way.”

When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn(DA) and no one put on any ornaments. For the Lord had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people.(DB) If I were to go with you even for a moment, I might destroy(DC) you. Now take off your ornaments and I will decide what to do with you.’” So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments at Mount Horeb.(DD)

The Tent of Meeting

Now Moses used to take a tent and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling it the “tent of meeting.”(DE) Anyone inquiring(DF) of the Lord would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp. And whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents,(DG) watching Moses until he entered the tent. As Moses went into the tent, the pillar of cloud(DH) would come down and stay at the entrance, while the Lord spoke(DI) with Moses. 10 Whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped, each at the entrance to their tent.(DJ) 11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face,(DK) as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua(DL) son of Nun did not leave the tent.

Moses and the Glory of the Lord

12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’(DM) but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name(DN) and you have found favor(DO) with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways(DP) so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”(DQ)

14 The Lord replied, “My Presence(DR) will go with you, and I will give you rest.”(DS)

15 Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence(DT) does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 16 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us?(DU) What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”(DV)

17 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked,(DW) because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”(DX)

18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”(DY)

19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass(DZ) in front of you, and I will proclaim my name,(EA) the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.(EB) 20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see(EC) me and live.”

21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock(ED) and cover you with my hand(EE) until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”

Notas al pie

  1. Exodus 32:1 Or a god; also in verses 23 and 31
  2. Exodus 32:4 Or This is your god; also in verse 8

22 ¶ Antan Jezi t'ap pale ak moun yo, li pran rakonte yo yon lòt parabòl:

Nan Peyi Wa ki nan syèl la, se tankou yon wa ki t'ap fete nòs pitit gason li.

Li voye domestik li yo rele moun ki te envite nan nòs la. Men, yo yonn pa t' vle vini.

Lè sa a, wa a voye lòt domestik, li di yo: Ale di envite yo manje a pare koulye a. Mwen gen tan fè touye towo bèf mwen yo ak lòt bèt gra mwen yo. Tout bagay pare. vin nan nòs la.

Men, envite yo pa fè ka sa l' voye di yo a, y al okipe zafè yo. Yonn ladan yo ale nan jaden l', yon lòt ale nan trafik li.

Gen ladan yo ki pran domestik yo, yo maltrete yo, yo touye yo.

Wa a fè yon gwo kòlè, li voye sòlda l' yo touye ansasen yo. Apre sa, li fè mete dife nan lavil yo a.

Lè sa a, li di domestik li yo: Manje nòs la pare, men moun ki te envite yo pa t' merite sa.

Ale sou granchemen, envite tout moun nou jwenn pou yo vini nan nòs la.

10 Domestik yo ale nan tout granchemen, yo sanble tout moun yo jwenn, ni move ni bon. Konsa, kote yo t'ap fè nòs la te plen moun.

11 Wa a vin antre pou wè envite yo. Je l' al tonbe sou yon nonm ki pa t' abiye ak rad nòs la.

12 Wa a di li: Zanmi, kouman ou fè antre isit la san ou pa mete rad nòs la sou ou? Nonm lan pa di yon mo.

13 Wa a di domestik li yo: Mare de pye l' ak de men l', voye l' jete deyò nan fènwa a. Se la la gen pou l' kriye, pou l' manje dan li.

14 Paske, yo envite anpil moun, men se de twa ase y'a chwazi.

15 ¶ Lè sa a, farizyen yo ale, yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou wè ki jan yo ta ka pran pawòl nan bouch Jezi pou akize li.

16 Yo voye disip pa yo ansanm ak patizan Ewòd yo bò kot Jezi pou mande li: Mèt, nou konnen ou se moun ki kare. W'ap moutre chemen Bondye a jan l' ye a, ou pa pè pesonn. Paske, ou pa gade sou figi moun.

17 Enben, kisa ou di nan sa: Eske lalwa pèmèt nou peye Seza lajan kontribisyon an, wi ou non?

18 Men, Jezi te konnen move lide yo te gen dèyè tèt yo, li reponn: Poukisa n'ap chache pran m' nan pèlen konsa, bann ipokrit?

19 Moutre m' pyès lajan nou sèvi pou peye taks la. Yo moutre l' yon pyès lajan.

20 Jezi mande yo: Pòtre ki moun avèk non ki moun ki sou li?

21 Yo reponn li: Se pòtre Seza ak non Seza. Lè sa a li di yo: Bay Seza sa ki pou Seza, bay Bondye sa ki pou Bondye.

22 Lè yo tande sa, yo pa t' manke sezi. Yo kite l', y al fè wout yo.

The Parable of the Wedding Banquet(A)

22 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like(B) a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants(C) to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

“Then he sent some more servants(D) and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’

“But they paid no attention and went off—one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, mistreated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers(E) and burned their city.

“Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners(F) and invite to the banquet anyone you find.’ 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good,(G) and the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11 “But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend(H)?’ The man was speechless.

13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’(I)

14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.”(J)

Paying the Imperial Tax to Caesar(K)

15 Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. 16 They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians.(L) “Teacher,” they said, “we know that you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren’t swayed by others, because you pay no attention to who they are. 17 Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay the imperial tax[a](M) to Caesar or not?”

18 But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, “You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? 19 Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, 20 and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”

21 “Caesar’s,” they replied.

Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s,(N) and to God what is God’s.”

22 When they heard this, they were amazed. So they left him and went away.(O)
