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.
Ary Mosesy niandry ny ondry aman’ osin’ i Jetro rafozany, mpisorona tao Midiana, dia nitondra ny ondry aman’ osy tany ankoatry ny efitra ka nankany Horeba, tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra.
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.
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah niseho taminy teo anaty lelafo teo amin’ ny roimemy anankiray; dia nijery izy, ka, indro, nirehitra afo ny roimemy, kanefa tsy nahalevonana.
3 So Moses thought, “I must go over and see this marvelous sight. Why is the bush not burning up?”
Ary hoy Mosesy: Hivily kely aho ka hizaha io fahitana lehibe io, hahafantarako izay tsy ahalevonan’ ny roimemy.
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.
Ary rehefa hitan’ i Jehovah fa nivily hizaha izy, dia niantso azy tao afovoan’ ny roimemy Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Ry Mosesy, ry Mosesy! Dia hoy izy: Inty aho.
5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
Ary hoy Izy: Aza manakaiky etỳ; esory ny kapanao amin’ ny tongotrao, fa tany masìna io ijanonanao io.
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.
Dia hoy koa Izy: Izaho no Andriamanitry ny razanao, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr’ Isaka ary Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba. Dia nisaron-tava Mosesy, fa natahotra hijery an’ Andriamanitra izy.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah: Efa hitako tokoa ny fahorian’ ny oloko izay any Egypta, ary efa reko ny fitarainany noho ny ataon’ ny mpampiasa azy; eny, fantatro ny alahelony;
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.
dia efa nidina Aho izao hamonjy azy amin’ ny tanan’ ny Egyptiana ka hitondra azy hiakatra hiala amin’ izany tany izany ho any amin’ izay tany soa sy malalaka, dia any amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely, any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita.
9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them.
Ary ankehitriny, indro, ny fitarainan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia efa mby atỳ amiko, sady efa hitako koa ny fahoriana izay ampahorian’ ny Egyptiana azy.
10 Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
Koa avia ankehitriny ianao hirahiko ho any amin’ i Farao hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely oloko hivoaka avy any Egypta.
11 But Moses asked God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
Fa hoy Mosesy tamin’ Andriamanitra: Iza moa aho no hankany amin’ i Farao sy hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely hivoaka avy any Egypta?
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.”
Ary hoy Izy: Homba anao tokoa Aho; ary izao no famantarana ho anao fa Izaho no efa naniraka anao; rehefa entinao mivoaka avy any Egypta ny olona, dia hanompo an’ Andriamanitra eto amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity ianareo.
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?”
Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ Andriamanitra: Indro, rehefa tonga any amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely aho ka manao aminy hoe: Andriamanitry ny razanareo no efa naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminareo, ary hanao amiko hoe kosa izy: Iza moa no anarany? dia ahoana no havaliko azy?
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.’”
Ary hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Mosesy: IZAHO, IZAY IZY HATRIZAY HATRIZAY KA HO MANDRAKIZAY. Ary hoy koa Izy: Izao no holazainao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: IZAHO IZAY Izy no efa naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminareo.
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.
Ary hoy koa Andriamanitra tamin’ i Mosesy: Izao no holazainao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr’ i Isaka ary Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba, no efa naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminareo; izany no anarako mandrakizay, ary izany no hahatsiarovana Ahy hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
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.
Mandehana, dia angòny ny loholon’ ny Isiraely, ka lazao aminy hoe: Efa niseho tamiko Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba, ka nanao hoe: Efa namangy anareo tokoa Aho ka nahita ny anaovana anareo atỳ Egypta;
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.’
ary hoy Izaho: Hitondra anareo hiakatra Aho ho afaka amin’ ny fahoriana atỳ Egypta ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita, ho any amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.
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.’
Dia hihaino ny feonao izy; ary hankao amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta ianao sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely ka hilaza aminy hoe: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo, efa nihaona taminay; ary ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka handeha lalan-kateloana any an-efitra izahay mba hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray.
19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless a mighty hand compels him.
Kanefa Izaho mahalala fa tsy havelan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta handeha ianareo, tsia, na dia amin’ ny tanana mahery aza.
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.
Dia haninjitra ny tanako Aho ka hamely an’ i Egypta amin’ ny fahagagana rehetra izay hataoko eo aminy; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao handefa anareo izy.
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.
Ary hataoko mahita fitia eo imason’ ny Egyptiana ity firenena ity, ka raha handeha ianareo, dia tsy mba handeha maina;
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.”
fa ny vehivavy samy hangataka firavaka volafotsy sy volamena ary fitafiana amin’ ny miray monina aminy sy amin’ izay mivahiny ao an-tranony; dia hataonareo amin’ ny zanakareo-lahy sy ny zanakareo-vavy izany, ka dia hofoananareo ny Egyptiana.
