Wuok 3

1 Chiengʼ moro Musa ne kwayo jamb Jethro jaduongʼne ma Jadolo mar jo-Midian, mi nongʼado thim gi jamni nyaka Horeb got mar Nyasaye.

Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the farthest end of the wilderness, and came to the mountain of God, unto Horeb.

2 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nofwenyorene kanyo e ligek mach maliel e dier bungu. Musa noneno ni kata obedo ni mach nomako bunguno, bunguno to ne ok wangʼ.

And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush; and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3 Kuom mano Musa noparo e chunye owuon niya, “Abiro sudo machiegni mondo ane hono maduongʼni. Angʼo momiyo bunguni ok wangʼ kata obedo ni mach lielie.”

And Moses said: 'I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.'

4 Kane Jehova Nyasaye oneno kosudo machiegni mondo one ane, Nyasaye noluonge gi e dier bungu niya, “Musa! Musa!” Eka Musa nodwoke niya, “An ka.”

And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said: 'Moses, Moses.' And he said: 'Here am I.'

5 Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kik imed sudo machiegni, to lony wuoche e tiendi, nikech kama ichungoeni en Kama Ler.”

And He said: 'Draw not nigh hither; put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.'

6 Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “An e Nyasach kwereni, Nyasach Ibrahim gi Nyasach Isaka kendo Nyasach Jakobo.” Kane Musa owinjo wachno to nopando wangʼe, nikech noluoro rango wangʼ Nyasaye.

Moreover He said: 'I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

7 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Chutho aseneno thagruok mar joga e piny Misri. Asewinjo ywakgi nikech joma chunogi e tich mar wasumbini kendo angʼeyo thagruokgi.

And the LORD said: 'I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their pains;

8 Omiyo aselor mondo aresgi e lwet jo-Misri kendo agolgi e pinyno mondo akelgi e piny maber kendo malach, ma en piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich. En piny jo-Kanaan gi jo-Hiti gi jo-Amor gi jo-Perizi gi jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus.

and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

9 Koro ywak jo-Israel osechopona, kendo aseneno kaka jo-Misri sandogi.

And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto Me; moreover I have seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Koro dhiyo. Aori ir Farao mondo igol joga ma jo-Israel e piny Misri.”

Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth My people the children of Israel out of Egypt.'

11 To Musa nodwoko Nyasaye niya, “An to an ngʼa, ma dadhi ir Farao kendo golo jo-Israel e piny Misri?”

And Moses said unto God: 'Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?'

12 Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Abiro bedo kodi. Ranyisi ma ibiro neno ni An ema aori ema: Ka isegolo ogandani e piny Misri, to ubiro lamo Nyasaye ewi godni.”

And He said: 'Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be the token unto thee, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.'

13 Musa nodwoko Nyasaye niya, “Ka dipo ni adhi ir jo-Israel mi awachonegi ni, ‘Nyasach kwereu oseora iru,’ mi gipenja ni, ‘Nyinge en ngʼa?’ Koro to ananyisgi nangʼo?”

And Moses said unto God: 'Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them: The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me: What is His name? what shall I say unto them?'

14 Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “AN MANTIE. Ma e gima onego iwach ni jo-Israel, ‘AN MANTIE oseora iru.’”

And God said unto Moses: 'I AM THAT I AM'; and He said: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: I AM hath sent me unto you.'

15 Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa kendo niya, “Nyis jo-Israel kama, ‘Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kwereu, kendo ma Nyasach Ibrahim gi Nyasach Isaka kendo Nyasach Jakobo; oseora iru.’ “Ma e nyinga manyaka chiengʼ, ma en nying manyaka parago, kuom tiengʼ ka tiengʼ.

And God said moreover unto Moses: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this is My name for ever, and this is My memorial unto all generations.

16 “Dhiyo, ichok jodong jo-Israel mondo iwachnegi kama. ‘Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach kwereu; ma en Nyasach Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo; nofwenyorena mi owachona kama: Aserangou mi aseneno gino mosetimnu e piny Misri.

Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them: The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying: I have surely remembered you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.

17 Kuom mano asesingora ni nyaka agolu e thagruok e piny Misri mi akelu e piny jo-Kanaan gi jo-Hiti gi jo-Amor gi jo-Perizi gi jo-Hivi kod jo-Jebus, ma en piny mopongʼ gi chak kod mor kich.’

And I have said: I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

18 “Jodong jo-Israel biro winjo gima iwacho. Bangʼ mano in kaachiel gi jodongo unudhi ir ruodh Misri mi uwachne kama: ‘Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach jo-Hibrania oseromo kodwa. Omiyo yie iwe wadhi e thim kama kawo wuodh ndalo adek mondo wachiwne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa misengini.’

And they shall hearken to thy voice. And thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him: The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us. And now let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

19 To angʼeyo ni ruodh Misri ok noyienu mondo udhi makmana kochune gi bat maratego.

And I know that the king of Egypt will not give you leave to go, except by a mighty hand.

20 Kuom mano, abiro rieyo bada mi agoo jo-Misri gi kit masiche duto ma anakel e diergi. Bangʼ mano, to enoyienu mondo udhi.

And I will put forth My hand, and smite Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in the midst thereof. And after that he will let you go.

21 “Bende anami jo-Misri bed gi ngʼwono kuom jogi, mondo ka uwuok to ok unua gi lwetu nono.

And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. And it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty;

22 Dhako ka dhako nyaka kwa jabathe kod joma odakgo e ode mondo omiye gik molos gi fedha gi dhahabu kod lewni, ma unuket kuom yawuotu gi nyiu. Kuom mano unuyak gige jo-Misri.”

but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment; and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.'
