Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not hearken to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to thee), what shall I say to them?
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Mosè, Aa naho tsy miantok’ ahy iereo, tsy mijanjiñe ty feoko, fe hanao ty hoe, Tsy niheo ama’o t’Iehovà?
2 And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in thine hand? and he said, A rod.
Hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Ino o am-pità’oo? Hoe re, Kobaiñe.
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground: and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it.
Le hoe re, Afetsaho an-tane eo. Aa le nafetsa’e an-tane naho ninjare mereñe vaho nidisaha’ i Mosè.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth thine hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ampitakaro ty fità’o, tsepaho añ’ohi’e—aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e nitsipaok’ aze vaho niheren-ko kobaiñe am-pità’e ao—
5 and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe thee, that the God of thy fathers has appeared to thee, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
hiantofa’ iareo te niheo ama’o t’Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, i Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke vaho i Andrianañahare’ Iakòbe.
6 And the Lord said again to him, Put thine hand into thy bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.
Natovo’ Iehovà ama’e ty hoe, Aziliho añ-araña’o ao ty fità’o, le nazili’e añ-araña’e ao ty fità’e le ie nakare’e; hehe te angamae i fità’ey, hafotim-bolovaso.
7 And he said again, Put thy hand into thy bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of his [other] flesh.
Le hoe re, Ampolio añ-araña’o ao o fità’oo; aa le nazili’e añ-araña’e ao indraike i fità’ey naho nakare’e boak’ añ-araña’e ao, ie fa nibali-ko hambañe ami-ty sandri’e.
8 And if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, they will believe thee [because] of the voice of the second sign.
Aa naho tsy miantok’ azo ndra mijanjiñe ty feo’ i viloñe valoha’ey le hiantofe’iereo ty feo’ i viloñe faharoey.
9 And it shall come to pass if they will not believe thee for these two signs, and will not hearken to thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which thou shalt take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.
Ie mboe tsy miantoke i viloñe roe rey naho tsy mañaoñe ty feo’o le anovizo rano boak’ amy Nailey naho adoaño an-tane maike eo, fa hinjare lio an-tane maike eo i rano rinambe’o amy sakaiy.
10 And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that thou hast begun to speak to thy servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
Aa hoe t’i Mosè amy Iehovà, Ry Talèko, tsy mahafilañon-draho; ndra taolo ndra hirik’ amy nitsara’o amo mpitoro’oo, te mone midàm-bolañe vaho bedo-lela.
11 And the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Ia ro namboatse ty falie’ ondaty? Ia ro mamboatse ty bobo, ty giñe, ty mahaisake, vaho ty fey? Tsy Izaho Iehovà hao?
12 And now go and I will open thy mouth, and will instruct thee in what thou shalt say.
Akia arè; himbaeko ty falie’o vaho hanareko azo ze ho saontsie’o.
13 And Moses said, I pray thee, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom thou shalt send.
Fe hoe re, Ry Talèko, ehe iraho am-pità’ i hirahe’oy.
14 And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Lo! is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he will surely speak to thee; and, behold, he will come forth to meet thee, and beholding thee he will rejoice within himself.
Niviañe amy Mosè amy zao ty haviñera’ Iehovà, le hoe re, Tsy apotako hao i rahalahi’o Aharone nte-Leviy, t’ie mahafirehake? Inao, mionjomb’ ama’o mb’etoa re hifañaoñe ama’o vaho hifale añ’arofo’e te mahaoniñe azo.
15 And thou shalt speak to him; and thou shalt put my words into his mouth, and I will open thy mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what ye shall do.
Hisaontsy ama’e irehe vaho hajo’o am-palie’e o tsarao. Himbaeko ty falie’o naho i falie’ey vaho hañohako ama’ areo ze hanoe’ areo.
16 And he shall speak for thee to the people, and he shall be thy mouth, and thou shalt be for him in things pertaining to God.
Ie ty hisolo-falie azo am’ ondatio; ie ty ho falie ama’o vaho ho fanalolahy ama’e irehe.
17 And this rod that was turned into a serpent thou shalt take in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt work miracles.
Rambeso am-pità’o o kobaiñeo, fa ama’e ty hanoe’o o viloñeo.
18 And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.
Nienga t’i Mosè naho nibalike mb’ aman-drafoza’e Iitrò mb’eo nanao ty hoe, Ehe angao himpoly mb’amo rolongoko e Mitsraimeo handrèndreke hera mbe veloñe. Le hoe t’i Iitrò amy Mosè, Akia am-panintsiñañe,
19 And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought thy life are dead.
Hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè e Midiane ao, Akia, mimpolia mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo fa fonga nihomake ondaty nipay ty fiai’oo.
20 And Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from God in his hand.
Aa le nendese’ i Mosè i vali’ey naho o ana-dahi’eo naho nampiningire’e ami’ty borìke, le nimpoly mb’ an-tane Mitsraime mb’eo; le nitintiñe’ i Mosè am-pità’e i kobain’Añaharey.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, When thou goest and returnest to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged thee with, thou shalt work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ie miheo mb’e Mitsraime añe, asoao te hanoe’o añ’atrefa’ i Parò ze hene viloñe napoko am-pita’o, fa hampandiereko ty arofo’e tsy hapo’e hañavelo ondatio.
22 And thou shalt say to Pharao, These things saith the Lord, Israel [is] my first-born.
Le hoe ty hanoa’o amy Parò, Hoe t’Iehovà: Anako naho tañoloñoloñako t’Israele;
23 And I said to thee, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if thou wilt not send them away, see, I will slay thy first-born son.
le hoe iraho ama’o, Angao hañavelo i anakoy hitoroñe ahy. F’ie mifoneñe tsy hampañavelo aze, inao arè: havetrako ty ana-dahi’o, i tañoloñoloña’oy.
24 And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to slay him.
Ie amy liay, amy nialeña’ iareoy, le nifanampe ama’e t’Iehovà, ho nañè-doza ama’e.
25 and Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:
Le rinambe’ i Tsiporàe ty vato masioñe le tinampa’e ty ofon’ ana-dahi’e naho nahifi’e am-pandia’eo vaho hoe re, Toe mpañenga-an-dio amako irehe!
26 and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.
Aa le navotso’e vaho nanao ty hoe i rakembay, Ty valiko an-dio ty amy savatsey.
27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses; and he went and met him in the mount of God, and they kissed each other.
Hoe t’Iehovà amy Aharone, Akia mb’ am-patrambey añe hifanalaka amy Mosè. Aa le nimb’eo re nifanalaka ama’e am-bohin’ Añahare eo vaho norofa’e.
28 And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.
Nitaroñe’ i Mosè amy Aharone ze hene nitsarae’ Iehovà nañirak’ azey vaho i viloñe iaby nafanto’e ama’e rezay.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.
Nimb’ eo amy zao t’i Mosè naho i Aharone nanontoñe ze hene androanavi’ o ana’ Israeleo;
30 And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.
le nisaontsie’ i Aharone o nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosè iabio vaho nanoe’e am-pahaisaha’ ondatio o viloñeo.
31 and the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.
Niantoke ondatio, aa naho jinanji’ o ana’ Israeleo te nisary iareo t’Iehovà naho nivazohoe’e ty fisotria’ iareo, le niondreke vaho nitalaho.
