< Exodus 6 >

1 But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tsopano udzaona zimene ndimuchite Farao: Chifukwa cha dzanja langa lamphamvu adzalola anthu anga kuti atuluke. Chifukwa cha dzanja langa lamphamvu adzawatulutsa mʼdziko lake.”
2 God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.
Mulungu anatinso kwa Mose, “Ine ndine Yehova.
3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by My name the LORD I did not make Myself known to them.
Ndinaonekera kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isake ndi kwa Yakobo monga Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, koma sindinawadziwitse dzina langa kuti ndine Yehova.
4 I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.
Ndinakhazikitsa pangano langa ndi iwo kuwalonjeza kuti ndidzawapatsa dziko la Kanaani kumene anakhalako kale ngati alendo.
5 Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant.
Ndamvanso kubuwula kwa Aisraeli, amene Aigupto awayesa akapolo ndipo ndakumbukira pangano langa.”
6 Therefore tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.
“Nʼchifukwa chake nena kwa Aisraeli kuti, ‘Ine ndine Yehova, ndipo ndidzakutulutsani mʼgoli la Aigupto. Ndidzakumasulani mu ukapolo, ndidzakuwombolani ndi dzanja langa lotambasuka ndi kuchita ntchito zachiweruzo.
7 I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
Ndidzakutengani kukhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ndinakutulutsani mʼgoli la Aigupto.
8 And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”
Ndipo ndidzakufikitsani ku dziko limene ndinalumbira kuti ndidzalipereka kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isake ndi kwa Yakobo. Ndidzakupatsani dziko limenelo kuti likhale lanu. Ine ndine Yehova.’”
9 Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.
Mose anawafotokozera Aisraeli zimenezi, koma iwo sanamumvere chifukwa cha kukhumudwa ndi goli lankhanza.
10 So the LORD said to Moses,
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
11 “Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.”
“Pita ukawuze Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti awalole Aisraeli atuluke mʼdziko lake.”
12 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”
Koma Mose ananena kwa Yehova kuti, “Ngati Aisraeli sanandimvere, Farao akandimvera chifukwa chiyani, pajatu sinditha kuyankhula bwino?”
13 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
Ndipo Yehova analamula Mose ndi Aaroni kuti awuze Aisraeli ndi Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti Aisraeli ayenera kutuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.

26 It was this Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “Bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.”
Aaroni ndi Mose ndi aja amene Yehova anawawuza kuti, “Tulutsani Aisraeli mu Igupto mʼmagulu awo.”
27 Moses and Aaron were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
Mose ndi Aaroni ndiwo amene anayankhula ndi Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti atulutse Aisraeli mu Igupto.
28 Now on the day that the LORD spoke to Moses in Egypt,
Tsopano pamene Yehova anayankhula kwa Mose mu Igupto,
29 He said to him, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I say to you.”
anati, “Ine ndine Yehova. Umuwuze Farao mfumu ya Igupto zonse zimene Ine ndikuwuze iwe.”
30 But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “Since I am unskilled in speech, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
Koma Mose anati kwa Yehova, “Farao akandimvera bwanji, pakuti ine sinditha kuyankhula bwino?”
