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 still shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. Moses led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and arrived at Horeb, the mountain of God.

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.

There the angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush. Moses looked, and behold, the bush was burning, but the bush was not burned up.

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 said, “I will turn aside and see this amazing thing, why the bush is not 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 Yahweh saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him out of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses.” Moses said, “Here I am.”

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

God said, “Do not come any closer! Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are standing is ground that is set apart to me.”

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.

He added, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses covered 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.

Yahweh said, “I have certainly seen the suffering of my people who are in Egypt. I have heard their shouts because of their taskmasters, for I know about their suffering.

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 free them from the Egyptians' power and to bring them up from that land to a good, large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the region of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

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

Now the shouts of the people of Israel have come to me. Moreover, I have seen the oppression caused by the Egyptians.

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

Now then, I will send you to Pharaoh so that you may bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”

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

But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites from 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.”

God replied, “I will certainly be with you. This will be a sign to you that I have sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship me 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 said to God, “When I go to the Israelites and tell them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' and when they say to me, 'What is his name?' what should I say to 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, “I AM THAT I AM.” God said, “You must say to the Israelites, '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 also said to Moses, “You must say to the Israelites, 'Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is how I will be kept in mind for 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. Say to them, 'Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me and said, “I have indeed observed you and have seen what has been 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.’

I have promised to bring you up from the oppression in Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, 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 listen to you. You and the elders of Israel must go to the king of Egypt, and you must tell him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, in order that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.'

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

But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, unless his hand is forced.

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 with my hand and attack the Egyptians with all the miracles that I will do among them. 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 grant this people favor from the Egyptians, so when you leave, you will 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.”

Every woman will ask for silver and gold jewels and for clothing from her Egyptian neighbors and any women staying in her neighbors' houses. You will put them on your sons and daughters. In this way you will plunder the Egyptians.”
