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.”
Yawe alobaki na Moyize: — Sik’oyo, okomona makambo oyo nakosala Faraon: na loboko na Ngai ya nguya, Faraon akotika bato na Ngai kokende mpe akobimisa bango na mokili na ye.
2 God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!
Nzambe alobaki lisusu na Moyize: — Nazali Yawe.
3 I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’
Namimonisaki epai ya Abrayami, ya Izaki mpe ya Jakobi lokola Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso, kasi namimonisaki te epai na bango na Kombo na Ngai: Yawe.
4 I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.
Nasalaki boyokani na Ngai elongo na bango mpo na kopesa bango mokili ya Kanana epai wapi bazalaki kowumela lokola bapaya.
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.
Mpe lisusu nayoki kolela ya bana ya Isalaele oyo bato ya Ejipito bakomisi bawumbu, bongo nakanisi lisusu boyokani na Ngai.
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.
Yango wana, loba na bana ya Isalaele: « Nazali Yawe! Nakokangola bino na misala makasi oyo bato ya Ejipito bapesi bino. Nakokangola bino na se ya bowumbu na bango na loboko na nguya mpe na bitumbu ya makasi.
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.
Nakozwa bino lokola bato na Ngai moko, bongo nakozala Nzambe na bino. Boye bokoyeba ete Ngai Yawe, nazali Nzambe na bino, oyo akangolaki bino na se ya misala makasi ya bato ya Ejipito.
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!’”
Mpe nakokotisa bino na mokili oyo nalapaki ndayi, na kotombola loboko, ete nakopesa yango epai ya Abrayami, epai ya Izaki mpe epai ya Jakobi; nakopesa bino yango mpo ete ekoma ya bino. Nazali Yawe. »
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.
Moyize alobaki makambo oyo epai ya bana ya Isalaele, kasi bayokaki ye te, pamba te misala makasi oyo bazalaki kopesa bango elembisaki mitema na bango.
10 Then the Lord said to Moses,
Yawe alobaki na Moyize:
11 “Go and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him to let the Israelites leave his country.”
— Kende koyebisa Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, ete abimisa bana ya Isalaele na mokili na ye.
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?”
Kasi Moyize azongiselaki Yawe: — Soki kutu bana ya Isalaele bayoki ngai te, ndenge nini Faraon ayoka ngai moto ya likukuma?
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.
Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron na tina na bana ya Isalaele mpe ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, oyo epai ya nani apesaki mitindo ete abimisa bana ya Isalaele na Ejipito.
