Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken to my voice, for they will say, Jehovah has not appeared to thee.
Museen, “Yoo isaan, ‘Waaqayyo sitti hin mulʼanne’ jedhanii na amanuu yookaan na dhagaʼuu didan hoo?” jedhee deebise.
2 And Jehovah said to him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A rod.
Kana irratti Waaqayyo, “Wanti harka kee keessa jiru sun maali?” jedheen. Museen immoo, “Ulee dha” jedhee deebise.
3 And he said, Cast in on the ground. And he cast it on the ground. And it became a serpent, and Moses fled from before it.
Waaqayyos, “Lafa buusi” jedheen. Museen lafa buufnaan uleen sun bofa taʼe; innis irraa baqate.
4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by the tail (and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand),
Waaqayyo garuu Museedhaan, “Harka kee hiixadhuutii eegee isaa qabi” jedhe. Museenis hiixatee bofa sana qabe; bofti sunis harka isaa keessatti deebiʼee ulee taʼe.
5 that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to thee.
Waaqayyos, “kun akka isaan Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii isaanii, Waaqni Abrahaam, Waaqni Yisihaaq, Waaqni Yaaqoob sitti mulʼate akka amananiif” jedhe.
6 And Jehovah said furthermore to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom. And when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as snow.
Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Harka kee bobaa kee keessa kaaʼadhu” jedhe. Museenis harka isaa bobaa isaa keessa kaaʼate; yommuu inni baafatettis, kunoo harki isaa lamxii akka cabbii taʼe.
7 And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. (And he put his hand into his bosom again, and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.)
Innis Museedhaan, “Harka kee deebisii bobaa kee keessa kaaʼadhu” jedhe; Museenis deebisee harka isaa bobaa isaa keessa kaaʼate; yommuu inni baafatettis, kunoo harki isaa deebiʼee akkuma dhagna isaa isa kaanii taʼe.
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Isaan yoo si amanuu baatanii mallattoo isa jalqabaa fudhachuu didan mallattoo lammaffaa ni amanu taʼa.
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe even these two signs, nor hearken to thy voice, that thou shall take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land. And the water which thou take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
Yoo isaan mallattoo kana lamaan amanuu baatanii si dhagaʼuu didan bishaan laga Abbayyaa budduuqsiitii lafa gogaa irratti dhangalaasi. Bishaan ati lagicha irraa budduuqsite sunis lafa gogaa irratti dhiiga taʼa.”
10 And Moses said to Jehovah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou have spoken to thy servant, for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
Museenis Waaqayyoon, “Yaa Gooftaa, ani duris taʼu yookaan erga ati garbicha keetti dubbachuu jalqabdee as nama arraba qajeelu miti. Ani nama afaan isaa hidhamee arrabni isaas itti ulfaatuu dha” jedhe.
11 And Jehovah said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, Jehovah?
Waaqayyos akkana isaan jedhe; “Kan afaan namaa uume eenyu? Kan akka namni arrab-didaa taʼu yookaan duudu godhu eenyu? Kan agartuu ijaa namaaf kennu yookaan jaamsu eenyu? Anuma Waaqayyoo mitii?
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shall speak.
Amma dhaqi; ani afaan kee wajjin nan taʼa; waan ati jettus sin barsiisa.”
13 And he said, Oh, Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou will send.
Museen garuu, “Yaa Gooftaa, maaloo nama biraa ergi” jedhe.
14 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is there not Aaron thy brother the Levite? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet thee, and when he sees thee, he will be glad in his heart.
Dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos Musee irratti bobaʼe; innis akkana jedhe; “Obboleessi kee Aroon Lewwichi jira mitii? Ani akka inni akka gaariitti dubbatu nan beeka. Kunoo, inni gara kee dhufuutti jira. Inni yommuu si argutti ni gammada.
15 And thou shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do,
Ati isatti dubbatee afaan isaa keessa dubbii ni keessa; anis afaan keetii fi afaan isaa wajjin nan taʼa; waan isin hojjettanis isin nan barsiisa.
16 and he shall be thy spokesman to the people. And it shall come to pass, that he shall be to thee a mouth, and thou shall be to him as God.
Inni uummatatti siif dubbata; inni afaan siif taʼa; ati immoo isaaf akka Waaqaa ni taata.
17 And thou shall take this rod in thy hand, with which thou shall do the signs.
Ati ulee ittiin mallattoo argisiiftu kana harkatti qabadhu.”
18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Museen gara abbaa niitii isaa gara Yetrootti deebiʼee, “Akka ani gara saba koo warra Gibxi jiraatanitti deebiʼee hamma ammaatti lubbuun jiraachuu isaanii arguuf maaloo naa eeyyami” jedheen. Yootooris, “Nagaan dhaqi” jedheen.
19 And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt, for all the men are dead who sought thy life.
Waaqayyo Midiyaanitti Museedhaan, “Namoonni si ajjeesuu barbaadan hundi duʼaniiruutii Gibxitti deebiʼi” jedhee ture.
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
Kanaafuu Museen niitii isaatii fi ilmaan isaa fuudhatee harree irra kaaʼee Gibxitti deebiʼe. Innis ulee Waaqaa harkatti qabatee ture.
21 And Jehovah said to Moses, When thou go back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati yeroo Gibxitti deebitutti dinqiiwwan ani akka ati hojjetuuf humna siif kenne sana hunda fuula Faraʼoon duratti hojjedhu. Ani garuu akka inni saba sana gad hin lakkifne mata jabeessa isa nan godha.
22 And thou shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says Jehovah, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
Ati Faraʼooniin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Israaʼel ilma koo hangafa;
23 and I have said to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou have refused to let him go. Behold, I will slay thy son, thy firstborn.
anis, “Akka ilmi koo na tajaajiluuf gad lakkisi” jedhee sitti himeera. Ati garuu isa gad lakkisuu didde; kanaafuu, kunoo ani ilma kee hangafa nan ajjeesa.’”
24 And it came to pass on the way at the lodging-place, that Jehovah met him, and sought to kill him.
Waaqayyo karaa irratti iddoo bultiitti Museetti dhufee isa ajjeesuu barbaade.
25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet. And she said, Surely a bridegroom of blood thou are to me.
Ziphooraa garuu dhagaa qara qabu fudhattee qola dhagna ilma ishee kuttee ittiin miilla Musee tuqxe. Isheenis, “Ati dhugumaan anaaf misirricha dhiigaati” jette.
26 So he let him alone. Then she said, A bridegroom of blood thou are, because of the circumcision.
Waaqayyos isa dhiise. Yeroo sana isheen waaʼee dhagna qabaatiif, “Misirricha dhiigaa ti” jette.
27 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.
Waaqayyos Arooniin, “Ati Musee simachuuf gara gammoojjii dhaqi!” jedhe. Innis dhaqee Tulluu Waaqaa irratti Musee argatee isa dhungate.
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had ordered him.
Yeroo sana Museen dubbii Waaqayyo akka inni dubbatuuf isa erge hundaa fi mallattoowwan akka inni hojjetuuf isa ajaje hunda Aroonitti hime.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.
Musee fi Aroon maanguddoota Israaʼel hunda walitti qaban;
30 And Aaron spoke all the words which Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
Aroonis waan Waaqayyo Museetti hime hunda jaratti hime. Mallattoowwanis fuula namootaa duratti hojjete;
31 And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the sons of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
isaanis ni amanan. Jarris yommuu akka Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel ilaalee fi akka inni rakkina isaaniis arge dhagaʼanitti gad jedhanii sagadan.
