Exodus 3
1 Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
Chiengʼ moro Musa ne kwayo jamb Jethro jaduongʼne ma Jadolo mar jo-Midian, mi nongʼado thim gi jamni nyaka Horeb got mar Nyasaye.
2 There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from within a bush. Moses saw the bush ablaze with fire, but it was not consumed.
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.
3 So Moses thought, “I must go over and see this marvelous sight. Why is the bush not burning up?”
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.”
4 When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from within the bush, “Moses, Moses!” “Here I am,” he answered.
Kane Jehova Nyasaye oneno kosudo machiegni mondo one ane, Nyasaye noluonge gi e dier bungu niya, “Musa! Musa!” Eka Musa nodwoke niya, “An ka.”
5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Kik imed sudo machiegni, to lony wuoche e tiendi, nikech kama ichungoeni en Kama Ler.”
6 Then He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
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.
7 The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the affliction of My people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their oppressors, and I am aware of their sufferings.
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.
8 I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
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.
9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them.
Koro ywak jo-Israel osechopona, kendo aseneno kaka jo-Misri sandogi.
10 Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Koro dhiyo. Aori ir Farao mondo igol joga ma jo-Israel e piny Misri.”
11 But Moses asked God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
To Musa nodwoko Nyasaye niya, “An to an ngʼa, ma dadhi ir Farao kendo golo jo-Israel e piny Misri?”
12 “I will surely be with you,” God said, “and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, all of you will worship God on this mountain.”
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.”
13 Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?”
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?”
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “AN MANTIE. Ma e gima onego iwach ni jo-Israel, ‘AN MANTIE oseora iru.’”
15 God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—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 am to be remembered in every generation.
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.
16 Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me and said: I have surely attended to you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.
“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.
17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your affliction in Egypt, into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’
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.’
18 The elders of Israel will listen to what you say, and you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’
“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.’
19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless a mighty hand compels him.
To angʼeyo ni ruodh Misri ok noyienu mondo udhi makmana kochune gi bat maratego.
20 So I will stretch out My hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders I will perform among them. And after that, he will release you.
Kuom mano, abiro rieyo bada mi agoo jo-Misri gi kit masiche duto ma anakel e diergi. Bangʼ mano, to enoyienu mondo udhi.
21 And I will grant this people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that when you leave, you will not go away empty-handed.
“Bende anami jo-Misri bed gi ngʼwono kuom jogi, mondo ka uwuok to ok unua gi lwetu nono.
22 Every woman shall ask her neighbor and any woman staying in her house for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, and you will put them on your sons and daughters. So you will plunder the Egyptians.”
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.”
