Exodus 4
1 Moses answered and said: They will not believe me, nor hear my voice, but they will say: The Lord hath not appeared to thee.
Musa nodwoko niya, “To kapo ni ok giyie kata winjo wachna mi giwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ofwenyoreni’?”
2 Then he said to him: What is that thou holdest in thy hand? He answered: A rod.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenje niya, “Mano en angʼo mantie e lwetino?” Musa nodwoko niya, “En luth.”
3 And the Lord said: Cast it down upon the ground. He cast it down, and it was turned into a serpent: so that Moses fled from it.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya “Bole piny kanyo.” Musa nobole piny e lowo kendo nolokore thuol mi Musa noringe.
4 And the Lord said: Put out thy hand and take it by the tail. He put forth his hand, and took hold of it, and it was turned into a rod.
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Rie badi mondo imake gi yo ka iwe.” Kuom Mano Musa norieyo bade kendo nomake gi yo ka iwe mi nochako olokore luth e lwete.
5 That they may believe, saith he, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to thee.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ma en kamano mondo mi giyie ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi; Nyasach Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo osefwenyoreni.”
6 And the Lord said again: Put thy hand into thy bosom. And when he had put it into his bosom, he brought it forth leprous as snow.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “So lweti ei lawi.” Kuom mano, Musa nosoyo lwete ei lawe kendo kane ogole oko, to lwete nolokore dhoho, marachar ka pe.
7 And he said: Put back thy hand into thy bosom. He put it back, and brought it out again, and it was like the other flesh.
Bangʼe nonyise niya, “Koro dwok lweti ei law.” Kuom mano, Musa nodwoko lwete ei law, kendo kane ogole, lwete nochango modoko machal gi dende duto.
8 If they will not believe thee, saith he, nor hear the voice of the former sign, they will believe the word of the latter sign.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kapo ni ok giyie gi wachni kata kuom ranyisi mokwongo, to ginyalo yie mar ariyo.
9 But if they will not even believe these two signs, nor hear thy voice: take of the river water, and pour it out upon the dry land, and whatsoever thou drawest out of the river shall be turned into blood.
To kapo ni ok giyie gi ranyisi ariyogo kata winjo wachni, to kaw pi mar aora Nael, kendo iole e lowo motwo. Pi migolo e aorano biro lokore remo e lowo motwo.”
10 Moses said: I beseech thee, Lord. I am not eloquent from yesterday and the day before: and since thou hast spoken to thy servant, I have more impediment and slowness of tongue.
Musa nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ok asebedo ngʼat ma wuoyo kalewe yot chakre chon kata e sa misebedo ka iwuoyo kod misumbani. Lewa pek kendo aywayo wach.”
11 The Lord said to him: Who made man’s mouth? or who made the dumb and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? did not I?
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “En ngʼa manochweyo dho dhano? En ngʼa mamiyo odoko momo kata ite odino? Koso en ngʼa mamiyo oneno kata obedo muofu? Donge en an Jehova Nyasaye?
12 Go therefore and I will be in thy mouth: and I will teach thee what thou shalt speak.
Omiyo koro dhiyo, abiro konyi e wuoyo bende abiro puonji gima onego iwachi.”
13 But he said: I beseech thee, Lord send whom thou wilt send.
To Musa nodwoke niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ka iyie to or ngʼat machielo.”
14 The Lord being angry at Moses, said Aaron the Levite is thy brother, I know that he is eloquent: behold he cometh forth to meet thee, and seeing thee shall be glad at heart.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye ne mirima omako gi Musa mowachone niya, “Donge owadu Harun ma ja-Lawi nitie? Angʼeyo ni onyalo wuoyo maber. Osechako wuoth obiro romoni bende chunye biro bedo mamor ka oneni.
15 Speak to him, and put my words in his mouth: and I will be in thy mouth, and in his mouth, and will shew you what you must do.
Ibiro wuoyo kode mi iket weche e dhoge; abiro konyou un ji ariyo mondo uwuo bende abiro puonjou gima onego utim.
16 He shall speak in thy stead to the people, and shall be thy mouth: but thou shalt be to him in those things that pertain to God.
Obiro wuoyo gi ji kari kendo obiro bedo kaka dhogi bende ibiro bedone kaka Nyasaye.
17 And take this rod in thy hand, wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
To kaw ludhni e lweti nimar ibiro timo kode honni gi ranyisi.”
18 Moses went his way, and returned to Jethro his father in law and said to him: I will go and return to my brethren into Egypt, that I may see if they be yet alive. And Jethro said to him: Go in peace.
Eka Musa nodok ir Jethro jaduongʼne mowachone niya “Yie iweya adog Misri ir joga mondo ane kapo ni nitie moro kuomgi ma pod ngima.” Jethro nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo kendo ibed gi gweth.”
19 And the Lord said to Moses, in Madian: Go, and return into Egypt: for they are all dead that sought thy life.
Noyudo Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo gi Musa e piny Midian kowachone niya, “Dog Misri, nikech jogo duto mane dwaro negi osetho.”
20 Moses therefore took his wife, and his sons, and set them upon an ass: and returned into Egypt, carrying the rod of God in his hand.
Omiyo Musa nokawo chiege kod yawuote, mi oketogi e punda kendo nochako wuoth mar dok Misri. Bende nokawo ludh Nyasaye e lwete.
21 And the Lord said to him as he was returning into Egypt: See that thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I shall harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Ka idok Misri nyaka ine ni itimo e nyim Farao honni duto ma asemiyi teko mondo itim. Makmana abiro miyo chuny Farao doko matek ma ok onyal weyo jo-Israel mondo oa.
22 And thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son, my firstborn.
Eka iniwach ni Farao kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Israel e wuoda makayo,
23 I have said to thee: Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou wouldst not let him go: behold I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
kendo ne anyisi niya, “Yie iwe wuoda odhi, mondo olama.” To nikech nidagi weye mondo odhi; koro abiro nego wuodi makayo.’”
24 And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and would have killed him.
E kinde mane Musa obuoro kamoro e kor yo, Jehova Nyasaye noromo kode kendo nochiegni nege.
25 Immediately Sephora took a very sharp stone, and circumcised the fore skin of her son, and touched his feet and said: A bloody spouse art thou to me.
To Zipora nokawo pala modingli mi ongʼadogo pien mantie e dho duongʼ wuode kendo nokawo pien-no momulogo tiend Musa. Nowacho niya, “Adier ibedona wuon kisera mar remo.”
26 And he let him go after she had said A bloody spouse art thou to me, because of the circumcision.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye noweye. (E kindeno ema Zipora nowachoe niya, “Wuon kisera mar remo,” ma tiende ni tero nyangu.)
27 And the Lord said to Aaron: Go into the desert to meet Moses. And he went forth to meet him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Harun niya, “Dhiyo e thim mondo irom gi Musa.” Omiyo nodhi moromo gi Musa e got mar Nyasaye kendo nonyodhe.
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord, by which he had sent him, and the signs that he had commanded.
Eka Musa nonyiso Harun weche duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo owachi, kendo nonyise honni duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo otim.
29 And they came together, and they assembled all the ancients of the children of Israel.
Eka Musa gi Harun nochoko jodong jo-Israel duto kanyakla,
30 And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had said to Moses: and he wrought the signs before the people,
kendo Harun nonyisogi gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye onyiso Musa. Bende notimo honni duto e nyim ji,
31 And the people believed. And they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel: and that he had looked upon their affliction: and falling down they adored.
kendo ne giyie. Kendo kane giwinjo ni Jehova Nyasaye oseneno chandruokgi kendo ni odwaro resogi, negikulore mi gilame.
