Exodus 4

1 And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.

Sumagot si Moises, “Pero paano kung hindi sila maniwala o makinig sa akin pero sa halip na sabihin, 'Si Yahweh ay hindi nagpakita sa iyo'?”

2 And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Ano iyang nasa kamay mo?” Sinabi ni Moises, “Isang tungkod.”

3 And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.

Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Ihagis mo ito sa lupa.” Inihagis ito ni Moises sa lupa, at ito ay naging isang ahas. Tumakbo si Moises palayo dito.

4 And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand: )

Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Damputin mo at hawakan ito sa buntot.” Kaya dinampot niya at hinawakan ang ahas. Naging tungkod ito muli sa kaniyang kamay.

5 So that they may be certain that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by you.

“Ito ay para maniwala sila na si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng kanilang mga ninuno, ang Diyos ni Abraham, ang Diyos ni Isaac, at ang Diyos ni Jacob, ang nagpakita sa iyo.”

6 Then the Lord said to him again, Put your hand inside your clothing. And he put his hand inside his robe: and when he took it out it was like the hand of a leper, as white as snow.

Sinabi rin ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Ngayon ilagay mo ang iyong kamay sa loob ng iyong balabal.” Kaya inilagay ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay sa loob ng kaniyang balabal. Nang ilabas niya ito, namasdan, na ang kaniyang kamay ay naging ketong, kasing puti ng niyebe.

7 And he said, Put your hand inside your robe again. (And he put his hand into his robe again, and when he took it out he saw that it had become like his other flesh.)

Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Ilagay mo ulit ang iyong kamay sa loob ng iyong balabal.” Kaya inilagay ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay sa loob ng kaniyang balabal, at ng inilabas niya ito, nakita niya na naging malusog ito muli, tulad ng kaniyang ibang laman.

8 And if they do not have faith in you or give ear to the voice of the first sign, they will have faith in the second sign.

Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Kung hindi sila maniniwala sa iyo—kung hindi nila bibigyang pansin ang unang palatandaan ng aking kapangyarihan o maniniwala dito, pagkatapos paniniwalaan nila ang ikalawang palatandaan.

9 And if they have no faith even in these two signs and will not give ear to your voice, then you are to take the water of the Nile and put it on the dry land: and the water you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.

At kung hindi sila maniniwala kahit sa dalawang palatandaan ng aking kapangyarihan, o makikinig sa iyo, pagkatapos kumuha ka ng kaunting tubig mula sa ilog at ibuhos ito sa tuyong lupa. Ang tubig na iyong kinuha ay magiging dugo sa tuyong lupa.”

10 And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I am not a man of words; I have never been so, and am not now, even after what you have said to your servant: for talking is hard for me, and I am slow of tongue.

Pagkatapos sinabi ni Moises kay Yahweh, “Panginoon, hindi ako naging magaling manalita, kahit pa noong nakaraan o ni mula ng nakipag-usap ka sa iyong lingkod. Mahina ako sa pananalita at mahina ang dila.”

11 And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Sino ba itong gumawa ng bibig ng tao? Sino bang gumawa sa taong pipi o bingi, nakakakita o bulag? Hindi ba ako, si Yahweh?

12 So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.

Kaya ngayon lumakad ka at kasama mo ako sa iyong pananalita at tuturuan kita kung ano ang sasabihin.”

13 And he said, O Lord, send, if you will, by the hand of anyone whom it seems good to you to send.

Pero sinabi ni Moises, “Panginoon, pakiusap magpadala ka nalang ng iba, sinuman ang gusto mong ipadala.”

14 And the Lord was angry with Moses, and said, Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? To my knowledge he is good at talking. And now he is coming out to you: and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.

Pagkatapos nagalit si Yahweh kay Moises. Sinabi niya, “Ano kaya kung si Aaron, ang iyong kapatid na Levita? Alam ko na nakakapagsalita siya ng maayos. Bukod dito, paparating siya para makipagkita sa iyo, at kapag nakita ka niya, magsasaya ang kaniyang puso.

15 Let him give ear to your voice, and you will put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his, teaching you what you have to do.

Makikipag-usap ka sa kaniya at ilalagay mo sa kaniyang bibig ang mga salita na dapat sabihin. Ako ay mapapasa iyong bibig at sa kaniyang bibig, at ipapakita ko sa inyo kung ano ang gagawin.

16 And he will do the talking for you to the people: he will be to you as a mouth and you will be to him as God.

Magsasalita siya sa mga tao para sa iyo. Siya ang magiging tagapagsalita mo, at ikaw sa kaniya ay magiging tulad ko, parang Diyos.

17 And take in your hand this rod with which you will do the signs.

Dadalhin mo ang tungkod na ito sa iyong kamay. Sa pamamagitan nito gagawin mo ang mga palatandaan.”

18 And Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go back now to my relations in Egypt and see if they are still living. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

Kaya bumalik si Moises kay Jetro ang kaniyang biyenang lalaki, at sinabi sa kaniya, “Payagan mo akong umalis para makabalik sa aking mga kamag-anak na nasa Ehipto at makita ko kung buhay pa ba sila.” Sinabi ni Jetro kay Moises, “Lumakad ka nang may kapayapaan.”

19 And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, Go back to Egypt, for all the men are dead who were attempting to take your life.

Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises sa Midian, “Lumakad ka, bumalik ka sa Ehipto, dahil lahat ng mga taong nagnanais kunin ang iyong buhay ay patay na.”

20 And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass and went back to the land of Egypt: and he took the rod of God in his hand.

Dinala ni Moises ang kaniyang asawa at mga anak na lalaki at isinakay niya sila sa asno. Bumalik siya sa lupain ng Ehipto, at dinala niya ang tungkod ng Diyos na nasa kaniyang kamay.

21 And the Lord said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have given you power to do: but I will make his heart hard and he will not let the people go.

Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Kung babalik ka sa Ehipto, siguraduhin mong gawin sa harapan ni Paraon ang lahat ng mga kababalaghan na inilagay ko sa iyong kapangyarihan. Pero patitigasin ko ang kaniyang puso, at hindi niya paaalisin ang mga tao.

22 And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:

Kailangan mong sabihin kay Paraon, 'Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh: ang Israel ay aking anak, ang aking panganay,

23 And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.

At sasabihin ko sa iyo, “Payagan mo ang aking anak na umalis, kaya siya ay sasamba sa akin.” Pero dahil ikaw ay tumangging paalisin siya, tiyak na papatayin ko ang iyong anak, ang iyong panganay.”'

24 Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.

Ngayon habang nasa daan, nang huminto sila para sa gabi, si Yahweh ay nakipagkita kay Moises at sinubukang patayin siya.

25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cutting off the skin of her son's private parts, and touching his feet with it, she said, Truly you are a husband of blood to me.

Pagkatapos kumuha si Zepora ng batong matulis at pinutol niya ang unahang balat ng kaniyang anak na lalaki, at inilapat ito sa paa ni Moises. Pagkatapos sinabi niya, “Sigurado ako na ikaw ang lalaking ikakasal sa akin sa pamamagitan ng dugo.”

26 So he let him go. Then she said, You are a husband of blood because of the circumcision.

Kaya hinayaan siya ni Yahweh na mag-isa. Sinabi niya, “Ikaw ang lalaking ikakasal sa dugo” dahil sa pagtutuli.

27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the waste land and you will see Moses. So he went and came across Moses at the mountain of God, and gave him a kiss.

Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Aaron, “Pumunta ka doon sa ilang para makipagkita kay Moises.” Pumunta si Aaron, at nakipagkita sa kaniya sa bundok ng Diyos, at hinalikan siya.

28 And Moses gave Aaron an account of all the words of the Lord which he had sent him to say, and of all the signs which he had given him orders to do.

Sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron ang lahat ng mga salita ni Yahweh na ipinadala niya para sabihin at tungkol sa lahat ng mga palatandaan ng kapangyarihan ni Yahweh na iniutos niya na kaniyang gagawin.

29 Then Moses and Aaron went and got together all the chiefs of the children of Israel:

Pagkatapos pumunta at tinipon nina Moises at Aaron ang lahat ng mga nakatatanda ng mga Israelita.

30 And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people.

Sinabi ni Aaron ang lahat ng mga salita na sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises. Ipinakita niya rin ang mga palatandaan ng kapangyarihan ni Yahweh sa paningin ng mga tao.

31 And the people had faith in them; and hearing that the Lord had taken up the cause of the children of Israel and had seen their troubles, with bent heads they gave him worship.

Naniwala ang mga tao. Nang marinig nila na si Yahweh ay nag-oobserba sa mga Israelita at nakita niya ang kanilang pagkaalipin, pagkatapos iniyuko nila ang kanilang mga ulo at sinamba siya.
