Wuok 6

1 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Koro ibiro neno gino ma abiro timo ne Farao: Nikech bada man-gi teko, obiro weyogi mondo gidhi; kendo nikech tekona maduongʼ obiro riembogi mi gia e pinye.”

But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”

2 Nyasaye bende nonyiso Musa kama, “An e Jehova Nyasaye.

God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!

3 Ne afwenyora ne Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo kaka Nyasaye Maratego, to ne ok afwenyoranegi gi nyinga ma ungʼeyago ma en Jehova Nyasaye.

I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’

4 Bende ne aguro singruokna kodgi ni anamigi piny Kanaan, kama negidakie kaka jodak.

I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.

5 To bende asewinjo ngʼur, mar jo-Israel ma jo-Misri oseloko wasumbinigi mi aparo singruokna.

In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.

6 “Emomiyo nyis jo-Israel kama: ‘An e Jehova Nyasaye kendo abiro golou e tije mapek ma jo-Misri oketo kuomu. Abiro miyo ubed thuolo e tij bedo wasumbini mag-gi kendo abiro resou kakumogi malit mondo awaru.

So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy punishments.

7 Abiro kawou kaka joga awuon, bende abiro bedo Nyasachu eka ubiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, manogolou ka uwuok e bwo tich matek mar jo-Misri.

I will make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.

8 Kendo abiro kelou e piny mane akwongʼora ka atingʼo bada malo ni anami Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo. Abiro miyougo kaka girkeni. An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”

I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”

9 Musa nodwoko ni jo-Israel wechegi, to kata kamano ne ok giwinje nimar chunygi nonyosore nikech tich mapek mar bedo wasumbini.

Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.

Then the Lord said to Moses,

11 “Dhiyo, inyis Farao ruodh jo-Misri mondo owe jo-Israel owuogi e pinye.”

“Go and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him to let the Israelites leave his country.”

12 To Musa nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ka jo-Israel ema ok nyal winja, en angʼo manyalo miyo Farao winja mi dewa nimar an radwal?”

But Moses replied, “Even my own people don't listen to me. Why would Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I'm such a poor speaker?”

But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and told them what to do regarding the people of Israel and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
