Exodus 6
1 But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”
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 God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!
Chineke gara nʼihu gwa Mosis sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
3 I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know 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 I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.
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 In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.
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 So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy 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 I will make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
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 I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”
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 Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.
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 Then the Lord said to Moses,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu ọzọ sị,
11 “Go and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him to let the Israelites leave his country.”
“Gaa gwa Fero eze Ijipt, ka ọ hapụ ụmụ Izrel ka ha pụọ nʼala ya.”
12 But Moses replied, “Even my own people don't listen to me. Why would Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I'm such a poor speaker?”
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 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and told them what to do regarding the people of Israel and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
