< Exodus 6 >
1 And the Lord said to Moses, Now you will see what I am about to do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand he will be forced to let them go, driving them out of his land because of my outstretched arm.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Ugbu a, ị ga-ahụ ihe m ga-eme Fero. Nʼihi ike aka m, ọ ga-ezipụ ha. Nʼihi ike aka, ọ ga-achụpụ ha site nʼala ya.”
2 And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh:
Chineke gara nʼihu gwa Mosis sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
3 I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.
Egosiri m Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb onwe m dịka Chineke, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Ma ọ dịghị mgbe m mere ka ha mata aha m dịka Onyenwe anyị.
4 And I made an agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their wanderings.
Emere m ka ọgbụgba ndụ m guzosie ike nʼetiti mụ na ha, ọgbụgba ndụ nke inye ha ala Kenan ebe ha biri dịka ndị ọbịa.
5 And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke; and I have kept in mind my agreement.
Ugbu a, anụla m ịsụ ude ụmụ Izrel, bụ ndị ahụ ndị Ijipt mere ka ha bụrụ ndị ohu. Echetakwala m ọgbụgba ndụ m.
6 Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.
“Ya mere, gwa ụmụ Izrel, ‘Abụ m Onyenwe anyị. Aga m akpọpụta unu site nʼọnọdụ ịbụ ohu ndị Ijipt. Aga m eme ka unu nwere onwe unu site nʼọnọdụ ịbụ ndị ohu nye ha. Aga m eji aka ike m nke m ga-esetipụ, ya na ihe ngosipụta dị ukwuu nke ikpe ikpe m, gbapụta unu.
7 And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God; and you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, who takes you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.
Mgbe ahụ, aga m ewere unu ka unu bụrụ ndị m. Aga m abụ Chineke unu. Unu ga-amata na m bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼaka ịbụ ohu nʼala Ijipt.
8 And I will be your guide into the land which I made an oath to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for your heritage: I am Yahweh.
Aga m akpọbata unu nʼala ahụ m weliri aka m elu, ṅụọ nʼiyi, nye Ebraham, na Aịzik, na Jekọb, ime ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.’”
9 And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, but they gave no attention to him, because of the grief of their spirit and the cruel weight of their work.
Mosis gwara ụmụ Izrel ihe ndị a, ma ha egeghị ntị nʼihi ịda mba nke obi ha na ahụhụ sitere na ndọgbu nʼọrụ ha.
10 And the Lord said to Moses,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu ọzọ sị,
11 Go in and say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he is to let the children of Israel go out of his land.
“Gaa gwa Fero eze Ijipt, ka ọ hapụ ụmụ Izrel ka ha pụọ nʼala ya.”
12 And Moses, answering the Lord, said, See, the children of Israel will not give ear to me; how then will Pharaoh give ear to me, whose lips are unclean?
Mosis kwuru nʼihu Onyenwe anyị sị, “Mgbe ụmụ Izrel na-aṅaghị m ntị, olee otu Fero ga-esi ṅaa m ntị? Nke ka nke, enweghị m ike ikwu okwu nke ọma.”
13 And the word of the Lord came to Moses and Aaron, with orders for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis na Erọn okwu banyere ụmụ Izrel na banyere Fero eze Ijipt. O nyere ha iwu sị ha site nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta ụmụ Izrel.

26 These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, Take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt in their armies.
Ọ bụkwa Mosis na Erọn ka Onyenwe anyị gwara okwu sị, “Sitenụ nʼala Ijipt dupụta ụmụ Izrel dịka ọnụọgụgụ ha si dị.”
27 These are the men who gave orders to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of Egypt: these are the same Moses and Aaron.

Otu ụbọchị, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼIjipt,
29 The Lord said to Moses, I am the Lord: say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything I am saying to you.
ọ sịrị ya, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, gaa gwa Fero eze Ijipt ihe niile m gwara gị.”
30 And Moses said to the Lord, My lips are unclean; how is it possible that Pharaoh will give me a hearing?
Mosis kwuru nʼihu Onyenwe anyị sị, “Lee, abụ m onye na-adịghị ekwuzi okwu nke ọma, gịnị mere Fero ga-eji gee ntị nʼihe m ga-agwa ya?”
