< Exodus 4 >

1 And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not listen to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to you), what shall I say to them?
Musa ya amsa ya ce, “In ba su gaskata ni ba, suka kuma ce, ‘Ubangiji bai bayyana gare ka ba fa’?”
2 And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in your hand? and he said, A rod.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Mene ne wannan a hannunka?” Musa ya amsa ya ce, “Sanda.”
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.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Jefa shi ƙasa.” Musa ya jefa shi ƙasa, sai sandan ya zama maciji, Musa kuwa ya gudu daga gare shi.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
Sai Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Sa hannunka ka ɗauke shi ta wutsiya.” Sai Musa ya miƙa hannu, ya kama macijin, macijin kuwa ya dawo sanda a hannunsa.
5 and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe you, that the God of your fathers has appeared to you, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
Ubangiji ya ce, “Wannan zai sa su ba da gaskiya cewa Ubangiji, Allah na kakanninsu, Allah na Ibrahim, Allah na Ishaku, da kuma Allah da Yaƙub, ya bayyana gare ka.”
6 And the Lord said again to him, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce, “Sa hannunka cikin rigarka.” Sai Musa ya sa hannunsa cikin rigarsa, sa’ad da ya fitar da shi, sai hannun ya a kuturce fari fat, kamar ƙanƙara.
7 And he said again, Put your hand into your 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.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Yanzu, mayar da hannunka a rigarka.” Sai Musa ya sa hannunsa cikin rigarsa, da ya fitar da shi, sai hannun ya koma kamar sauran jikinsa.
8 And if they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you [because] of the voice of the second sign.
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce, “In ba su gaskata ba, ko kuma ba su kula da mu’ujiza ta fari ba, wataƙila su gaskata da ta biyun.
9 And it shall come to pass if they will not believe you for these two signs, and will not listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which you shall take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.
Amma in ba su gaskata mu’ujizan nan biyu ba, ko kuwa ba su saurare ka ba, sai ka ɗibo ruwa daga Nilu, ka zuba a busasshiyar ƙasa. Ruwan da ka ɗebo daga kogin zai zama jini a ƙasar.”
10 And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that you have begun to speak to your servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
Musa ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Ya Ubangiji, ni ban mai iya magana ba ne, ban taɓa iya ba, ko a yanzu ma, bayan ka yi magana da ni, gama ni mai nauyin baki ne, mai nauyin harshe kuma.”
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?
Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Wa ya ba mutum bakinsa? Wa yake maishe shi kurma ko bebe? Wa yake ba shi gani ko yă makanta shi? Ashe ba Ni Ubangiji ba ne?
12 And now go and I will open your mouth, and will instruct you in what you shall say.
Yanzu tafi, zan taimake ka ka yi magana, zan kuma koya maka abin da za ka faɗa.”
13 And Moses said, I pray you, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom you shall send.
Amma Musa ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, ina roƙonka, ka nemi wani ka aika.”
14 And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Behold! is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he will surely speak to you; and, behold, he will come forth to meet you, and beholding you he will rejoice within himself.
Sai Ubangiji ya yi fushi da Musa ya ce, “Ɗan’uwanka Haruna Balawe, ba ya nan ne? Na san ya iya magana. Ya riga ya kama hanya don yă sadu da kai, zai kuma yi farin ciki sa’ad da ya gan ka.
15 And you shall speak to him; and you shall put my words into his mouth, and I will open your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you shall do.
Za ka yi masa magana. Ka kuma sa masa maganata a baki; zan kuma taimake ku magana, in koya muku abin da za ku yi.
16 And he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be for him in things pertaining to God.
Zai yi magana da mutane a madadinka, zai zama kamar bakinka, kai kuwa kamar Allah a gare shi.
17 And this rod that was turned into a serpent you shall take in your hand, wherewith you shall work miracles.
Amma ka ɗauki wannan sanda a hannunka domin yă aikata mu’ujizan.”
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.
Sai Musa ya koma wurin Yetro surukinsa, ya ce masa, “Bari in koma wurin mutanena a Masar, in ga ko da mai rai a cikinsu.” Yetro ya ce, “Tafi, ka kuma sauka lafiya.”
19 And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought your life are dead.
Ubangiji ya riga ya gaya wa Musa a Midiyan, “Koma Masar, domin dukan mutanen da suke neman su kashe ka sun mutu.”
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.
Sai Musa ya ɗauki matarsa da’ya’yansa maza, ya sa su a kan jaki, suka kama hanya zuwa Masar. Ya kuma ɗauki sandan Allah a hannunsa.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, When you go and return to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged you with, you shall work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.
Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Bayan ka koma Masar, ka tabbata ka aikata dukan mu’ujizan da na sa cikin ikonka a gaban Fir’auna. Amma zan taurare zuciyarsa domin kada yă bar mutanen su tafi.
22 And you shall say to Pharao, These things says the Lord, Israel [is] my firstborn.
Sa’an nan ka gaya wa Fir’auna, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce; Isra’ila shi ne ɗan farina,
23 And I said to you, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if you will not send them away, see, I will kill your firstborn son.
na gaya maka, “Ka bar ɗana yă tafi domin yă yi mini sujada.” Amma ka ƙi ka bari yă tafi, saboda haka zan kashe ɗan farinka.’”
24 And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to kill him.
Ya zama kuwa sa’ad da Musa yake masauki a kan hanya sai Ubangiji ya gamu da shi, ya nema ya kashe shi.
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:
Amma Ziffora ta ɗauki dutsen ƙanƙara mai ci, ta yanke loɓar ɗanta ta taɓa ƙafafun Musa da shi. Ta ce, “Tabbatacce kai angon jini ne a gare ni.”
26 and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.
Sai Ubangiji ya ƙyale shi. (A lokacin ta ce “angon jini,” tana nufin kaciya.)
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.
Ubangiji ya ce wa Haruna, “Tafi cikin hamada ka sadu da Musa.” Sai ya sadu da Musa a dutsen Allah, ya sumbace shi.
28 And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.
Sai Musa ya gaya wa Haruna dukan abin da Ubangiji ya aike yă faɗa, da kuma dukan mu’ujizan da ya umarce shi yă aikata.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.
Musa da Haruna suka tattara dukan dattawan Isra’ilawa,
30 And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.
sai Haruna ya gaya musu dukan abin da Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa. Ya kuma aikata mu’ujizan a gaban mutanen,
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.
sai suka gaskata. Sa’ad da suka ji cewa Ubangiji ya damu da su, ya kuma ga azabarsu, sai suka durƙusa suka yi sujada.
