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 [Drawn out] was keeping the flock of Jethro [Abundance], his father-in-law, the priest of Midian [Strife], and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb [Desert].
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.
Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush. 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.”
Moses [Drawn out] said, “I will turn aside now and see this great sight; why the bush is not being burned up?”
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.”
When Adonai saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, “Moses [Drawn out]! Moses [Drawn out]!” He said, “Here I am.”
5 Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kik imed sudo machiegni, to lony wuoche e tiendi, nikech kama ichungoeni en Kama Ler.”
He said, “Don’t come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on 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 your father, the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude], the God of Isaac [Laughter], and the God of Jacob [Supplanter].” Moses [Drawn out] hid his face; for he was afraid to look at 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.
Adonai said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt [Abode of slavery], and have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
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.
I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher].
9 Koro ywak jo-Israel osechopona, kendo aseneno kaka jo-Misri sandogi.
Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel [God prevails] has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] oppress them.
10 Koro dhiyo. Aori ir Farao mondo igol joga ma jo-Israel e piny Misri.”
Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel [God prevails], out of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”
11 To Musa nodwoko Nyasaye niya, “An to an ngʼa, ma dadhi ir Farao kendo golo jo-Israel e piny Misri?”
Moses [Drawn out] said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel [God prevails] out of Egypt [Abode of slavery]?”
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.”
He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], you shall abad ·serve· God on 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?”
Moses [Drawn out] said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you;’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ What should I tell them?”
14 Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “AN MANTIE. Ma e gima onego iwach ni jo-Israel, ‘AN MANTIE oseora iru.’”
God said to Moses [Drawn out], “I Am Who I Am,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel [God prevails] this: ‘I AM has sent me to 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.
God said moreover to Moses [Drawn out], “You shall tell the children of Israel [God prevails] this, ‘Adonai, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude], the God of Isaac [Laughter], and the God of Jacob [Supplanter], has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to 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 [God prevails] together, and tell them, ‘Adonai, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham [Father of a multitude], of Isaac [Laughter], and of Jacob [Supplanter], has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt [Abode of slavery];
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 [Abode of slavery] to the land of the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher], to 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.’
They will sh'ma ·hear obey· your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel [God prevails], to the king of Egypt [Abode of slavery], and you shall tell him, ‘Adonai, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Adonai, our God.’
19 To angʼeyo ni ruodh Misri ok noyienu mondo udhi makmana kochune gi bat maratego.
I know that the king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] won’t give you permission to go, no, not 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.
I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt [Abode of slavery] with all my wonders which I will do among them, 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.
I will give this people chen ·grace· in the sight of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty handed.
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 neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery].”
