Exodus 6

1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa, “Sasa utaona nitakacho fanya kwa Farao. Utaona hili, kwa kuwa ata waacha waenda kwa mkono wangu hodari. Kwasababu ya mkono wangu hodari, ata waondoa nje ya nchi.”

2 And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am Jehovah.

Mungu akasema na Musa na kumwambia, “Mimi ni Yahweh.

3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as the Almighty God; but by my name Jehovah I was not made known to them.

Nilimtokea Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo kama Mungu mwenye nguvu; lakini kwa jina langu, Yahweh, sikujuliikana kwao.

4 And I established also my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were sojourners.

Pia niliimarisha agano langu na wao, ilikuwapatia nchi ya Kanani, nchi walioishi kama sio raia, nchi walio tanga tanga.

5 And I have heard also the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians have forced to serve, and I have remembered my covenant.

Zaidi ya yote, nimesikia kilio cha Waisraeli ambao wa Misri wame wa chukua watumwa, na nimekumbuka agano langu.

6 Therefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their service, and I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments.

Kisha basi, sema kwa Waisraeli, 'Mimi ni Yahweh. Nitawatoa kwenye utumwa chini ya wa Misri, na kuwaweka huru na nguvu zao. Nitawaokoa kwa kudhihirisha nguvu zangu, na kwa matendo ya ajabu ya hukumu.

7 And I will take you to me for a people, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah your God, am he who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

Nitawaleta kwangu kama watu wangu, na nitakuwa Mungu wenu. Mtajua kuwa mimi ndiye Yahweh Mungu wenu, aliye watoa kwenye utumwa chini ya wa Misri.

8 And I will bring you into the land concerning which I swore to give it unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; and I will give it you for a possession: I am Jehovah.

Nitawaleta kwenye nchi niliyo muahidi kumpa Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo. Nitawapa kama mali yenu. Mimi ni Yahweh.”'

9 And Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not listen to Moses from anguish of spirit, and from hard service.

Musa alipo waambia haya Waisraeli, hawakumsiliza kwasababu ya mateso magumu ya utumwa wao.

10 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Hivyo Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na kumwambia,

11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

“Nenda umwambie Farao, mfalme wa Misri, awaache watu wa Israeli waondoke kwenye nchi yake.”

12 And Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying, Lo, the children of Israel do not hearken to me: how then should Pharaoh hearken to me, to me of uncircumcised lips?

Musa akamwambia Yahweh, “Kama Waisraeli hawajanisikiliza mimi, kwa nini Farao anisikillize mimi, tangu mimi sio mzuri wakuzungumza?”

13 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a commandment to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Yahweh akasema na Musa na Aruni. Akawapa amri ya Waisraeli na Farao, mfalme wa Misri, awatoe Waisraeli kutoka nchi ya Misri.

Hawa wanaume wawili walikuwa Musa na Aruni ambao Yahweh alisema, “Waleteni Waisraeli kutoka nchi ya Misri, kwa makundi ya wanaume wapiganaji.”

27 These are they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: this is that Moses and Aaron.

Aruni na Musa wakazungumza na Farao, mfalme wa Misri, awaruhusu Waisraeli watoke Misri. Hawa walikuwa Musa na Aruni wale wale.

28 And it came to pass on the day when Jehovah spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

Pale Yahweh alipo zungumza na Musa katika nchi ya Misri,

29 that Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, I am Jehovah: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.

alimwambia, “Mimi ni Yahweh. Sema kwa Farao, mfalme wa MIsri, kila kitu nitacho kwambia.”

30 And Moses said before Jehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how will Pharaoh hearken unto me?

Lakini Musa alimwambia Yahweh, “Mimi sio mzuri wa kuongea, hivyo kwanini Farao anisikilize mimi?”
