Wuok 4

1 Musa nodwoko niya, “To kapo ni ok giyie kata winjo wachna mi giwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ofwenyoreni’?”

And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD has not appeared unto you.

2 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenje niya, “Mano en angʼo mantie e lwetino?” Musa nodwoko niya, “En luth.”

And the LORD said unto him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

3 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya “Bole piny kanyo.” Musa nobole piny e lowo kendo nolokore thuol mi Musa noringe.

And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

4 Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Rie badi mondo imake gi yo ka iwe.” Kuom Mano Musa norieyo bade kendo nomake gi yo ka iwe mi nochako olokore luth e lwete.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

5 Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ma en kamano mondo mi giyie ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi; Nyasach Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo osefwenyoreni.”

That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared unto you.

6 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “So lweti ei lawi.” Kuom mano, Musa nosoyo lwete ei lawe kendo kane ogole oko, to lwete nolokore dhoho, marachar ka pe.

And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

7 Bangʼe nonyise niya, “Koro dwok lweti ei law.” Kuom mano, Musa nodwoko lwete ei law, kendo kane ogole, lwete nochango modoko machal gi dende duto.

And he said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

8 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kapo ni ok giyie gi wachni kata kuom ranyisi mokwongo, to ginyalo yie mar ariyo.

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe you, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

9 To kapo ni ok giyie gi ranyisi ariyogo kata winjo wachni, to kaw pi mar aora Nael, kendo iole e lowo motwo. Pi migolo e aorano biro lokore remo e lowo motwo.”

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which you take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

10 Musa nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ok asebedo ngʼat ma wuoyo kalewe yot chakre chon kata e sa misebedo ka iwuoyo kod misumbani. Lewa pek kendo aywayo wach.”

And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither in time past, nor since you have spoken unto your servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

11 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “En ngʼa manochweyo dho dhano? En ngʼa mamiyo odoko momo kata ite odino? Koso en ngʼa mamiyo oneno kata obedo muofu? Donge en an Jehova Nyasaye?

And the LORD said unto him, Who has made man's mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

12 Omiyo koro dhiyo, abiro konyi e wuoyo bende abiro puonji gima onego iwachi.”

Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.

13 To Musa nodwoke niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ka iyie to or ngʼat machielo.”

And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray you, by the hand of him whom you will send.

14 Eka Jehova Nyasaye ne mirima omako gi Musa mowachone niya, “Donge owadu Harun ma ja-Lawi nitie? Angʼeyo ni onyalo wuoyo maber. Osechako wuoth obiro romoni bende chunye biro bedo mamor ka oneni.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

15 Ibiro wuoyo kode mi iket weche e dhoge; abiro konyou un ji ariyo mondo uwuo bende abiro puonjou gima onego utim.

And you shall speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what all of you shall do.

16 Obiro wuoyo gi ji kari kendo obiro bedo kaka dhogi bende ibiro bedone kaka Nyasaye.

And he shall be your spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.

17 To kaw ludhni e lweti nimar ibiro timo kode honni gi ranyisi.”

And you shall take this rod in your hand, wherewith you shall do signs.

18 Eka Musa nodok ir Jethro jaduongʼne mowachone niya “Yie iweya adog Misri ir joga mondo ane kapo ni nitie moro kuomgi ma pod ngima.” Jethro nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo kendo ibed gi gweth.”

And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray you, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

19 Noyudo Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo gi Musa e piny Midian kowachone niya, “Dog Misri, nikech jogo duto mane dwaro negi osetho.”

And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought your life.

20 Omiyo Musa nokawo chiege kod yawuote, mi oketogi e punda kendo nochako wuoth mar dok Misri. Bende nokawo ludh Nyasaye e lwete.

And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

21 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Ka idok Misri nyaka ine ni itimo e nyim Farao honni duto ma asemiyi teko mondo itim. Makmana abiro miyo chuny Farao doko matek ma ok onyal weyo jo-Israel mondo oa.

And the LORD said unto Moses, When you go to return into Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

22 Eka iniwach ni Farao kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Israel e wuoda makayo,

And you shall say unto Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

23 kendo ne anyisi niya, “Yie iwe wuoda odhi, mondo olama.” To nikech nidagi weye mondo odhi; koro abiro nego wuodi makayo.’”

And I say unto you, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your firstborn.

24 E kinde mane Musa obuoro kamoro e kor yo, Jehova Nyasaye noromo kode kendo nochiegni nege.

And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.

25 To Zipora nokawo pala modingli mi ongʼadogo pien mantie e dho duongʼ wuode kendo nokawo pien-no momulogo tiend Musa. Nowacho niya, “Adier ibedona wuon kisera mar remo.”

Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband are you to me.

26 Eka Jehova Nyasaye noweye. (E kindeno ema Zipora nowachoe niya, “Wuon kisera mar remo,” ma tiende ni tero nyangu.)

So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband you are, because of the circumcision.

27 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Harun niya, “Dhiyo e thim mondo irom gi Musa.” Omiyo nodhi moromo gi Musa e got mar Nyasaye kendo nonyodhe.

And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.

28 Eka Musa nonyiso Harun weche duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo owachi, kendo nonyise honni duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo otim.

And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.

29 Eka Musa gi Harun nochoko jodong jo-Israel duto kanyakla,

And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:

30 kendo Harun nonyisogi gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye onyiso Musa. Bende notimo honni duto e nyim ji,

And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 kendo ne giyie. Kendo kane giwinjo ni Jehova Nyasaye oseneno chandruokgi kendo ni odwaro resogi, negikulore mi gilame.

And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
