Exodus 3
1 When Moses kept the sheepe of Iethro his father in lawe, Priest of Midian, and droue the flocke to the backe side of the desert, and came to the Mountaine of God, Horeb,
Na rĩrĩ, Musa nĩ kũrĩithia arĩithagia rũũru rwa mbũri rwa mũthoni-we Jethero, mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Midiani, nake agĩtongoria rũũru rũu rwa mbũri mwena ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa werũ kũraya ma, na agĩkinya Horebu, kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ngai.
2 Then the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a flame of fire, out of the middes of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Arĩ kũu-rĩ, akiumĩrĩrwo nĩ mũraika wa Jehova arĩ nĩnĩmbĩ-inĩ cia mwaki ikiuma kĩhinga-inĩ. Musa akĩona atĩ o na gũtuĩka kĩhinga nĩgĩakanaga-rĩ, gĩtiahĩaga.
3 Therefore Moses saide, I will turne aside nowe, and see this great sight, why the bush burneth not.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũthiĩ ho nĩgeetha nyone ũndũ ũyũ mũgeni, menye kĩrĩa kĩragiria kĩhinga kĩhĩe.”
4 And when the Lord sawe that he turned aside to see, God called vnto him out of the middes of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he answered, I am here.
Rĩrĩa Jehova onire atĩ nĩathiĩ hau gũcũthĩrĩria, Ngai akĩmwĩta arĩ kĩhinga-inĩ, “Musa! Musa!” Nake Musa agĩĩtĩka, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
5 Then he saide, Come not hither, put thy shooes off thy feete: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgakuhĩrĩrie haha. Ruta iraatũ ciaku magũrũ, nĩgũkorwo handũ hau ũrũgamĩte nĩ handũ hatheru.”
6 Moreouer he saide, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob. Then Moses hid his face: for he was afraid to looke vpon God.
Ningĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai wa thoguo, Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, Ngai wa Isaaka, o na Ngai wa Jakubu.” Kahinda kau Musa akĩhitha ũthiũ wake, tondũ nĩetigĩrire kũrora Ngai.
7 Then the Lord said, I haue surely seene the trouble of my people, which are in Egypt, and haue heard their crie, because of their taskemasters: for I knowe their sorowes.
Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ; “Ti-itherũ nĩnyonete mĩnyamaro ya andũ akwa kũu bũrũri wa Misiri. Nĩnjiguĩte kĩrĩro kĩao nĩ ũndũ wa arũgamĩrĩri a ngombo arĩa mamahinyagĩrĩria, na nĩngũrũmbũiya ũhoro wa kũnyamarĩka kwao.
8 Therefore I am come downe to deliuer them out of the hande of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that lande into a good lande and a large, into a lande that floweth with milke and honie, euen into the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩnjikũrũkĩte nĩguo ndĩmateithũre kuuma moko-inĩ ma andũ a Misiri, ndĩmarute bũrũri ũcio, ndĩmatware bũrũri mwega na mwariĩ, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, kũrĩa gũtũũragwo nĩ Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aamori, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi.
9 And now lo, the crie of the children of Israel is come vnto me, and I haue also seene ye oppression, wherewith the Egyptians oppresse them.
Na rĩu kĩrĩro kĩa andũ a Isiraeli nĩkĩnginyĩire, na nĩnyonete ũrĩa andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri maramahinyĩrĩria.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee vnto Pharaoh, that thou maiest bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, thiĩ. Ndĩragũtũma kũrĩ Firaũni ũkarute andũ akwa a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri.”
11 But Moses said vnto God, Who am I, that I should go vnto Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?
No Musa akĩũria Ngai atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ ũ wa gũthiĩ kwa Firaũni ngarute andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri?”
12 And he answered, Certainely I will be with thee: and this shall be a token vnto thee, that I haue sent thee, After that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serue God vpon this Mountaine.
Nake Ngai agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrĩkoragwo hamwe nawe. Naguo ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũgaatuĩka kĩmenyithia gĩa atĩ nĩ niĩ ngũtũmĩte: Rĩrĩa ũkaaruta andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩmũkahooyagĩra Ngai kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ.”
13 Then Moses said vnto God, Behold, when I shall come vnto the children of Israel, and shall say vnto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me vnto you: if they say vnto me, What is his Name? what shall I say vnto them?
Musa akĩĩra Ngai atĩrĩ, “Ingĩthiĩ kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli ndĩmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ Ngai wa maithe manyu wandũma kũrĩ inyuĩ,’ nao manjũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai ũcio etagwo atĩa?’ ngaamacookeria atĩa?”
14 And God answered Moses, I Am That I Am. Also he said, Thus shalt thou say vnto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me vnto you.
Ngai akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “NIĨ NDŨIRE O TA ŨRĨA NDŨIRE. Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, Ũrĩa wĩtagwo ‘NIĨ NDŨIRE nĩwe ũndũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.’”
15 And God spake further vnto Moses, Thus shalt thou say vnto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath sent me vnto you: this is my Name for euer, and this is my memoriall vnto all ages.
Ningĩ Ngai agĩcooka akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova, o we Ngai wa maithe manyu, Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Ngai wa Isaaka na Ngai wa Jakubu nĩandũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.’ Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nginya tene, rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa ndĩĩririkanagwo narĩo kuuma njiarwa na njiarwa.
16 Go and gather the Elders of Israel together, and thou shalt say vnto the, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob appeared vnto me, and said, I haue surely remembred you, and that which is done to you in Egypt.
“Thiĩ, ũcookanĩrĩrie athuuri a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova, Ngai wa maithe manyu o we Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu nĩanyumĩrĩire akanjĩĩra atĩrĩ: Nĩndorete na ngoona maũndũ marĩa mwĩkĩtwo kũu bũrũri wa Misiri,
17 Therefore I did say, I wil bring you out of the affliction of Egypt vnto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, vnto a lande that floweth with milke and honie.
na nĩnduĩte nĩngũmũruta kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ yanyu kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, ndĩmũtware bũrũri wa Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aamori, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.’
18 Then shall they obey thy voyce, and thou and the Elders of Israel shall go vnto the King of Egypt, and say vnto him, The Lord God of the Ebrewes hath met with vs: we pray thee nowe therefore, let vs goe three dayes iourney in the wildernesse, that we may sacrifice vnto the Lord our God.
“Athuuri acio a Isiraeli nĩmagagũthikĩrĩria. Ningĩ wee na athuuri acio nĩmũgathiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri na mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova, o we Ngai wa Ahibirania, nĩarĩtie na ithuĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio twĩtĩkĩrie tũthiĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ĩtatũ werũ-inĩ tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona.’
19 But I know, that the King of Egypt wil not let you goe, but by strong hande.
No nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mũthamaki ũcio wa bũrũri wa Misiri ndakamwĩtĩkĩria mũthiĩ, tiga guoko gwakwa kwa hinya kũmũhatĩrĩirie gwĩka ũguo.
20 Therefore will I stretch out mine hande and smite Egypt with all my wonders, which I will doe in the middes thereof: and after that shall he let you goe.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngatambũrũkia guoko gwakwa hũũre andũ a Misiri na maũndũ mothe ma magegania marĩa ngeeka thĩinĩ wao. Thuutha ũcio, nĩakamwĩtĩkĩria mũthiĩ.
21 And I will make this people to be fauoured of the Egyptians: so that when ye go, ye shall not goe emptie.
“Na nĩngatũma mwĩtĩkĩrĩke nĩ andũ a Misiri, nĩgeetha rĩrĩa mũkoimagara, mũtikanathiĩ moko matheri.
22 For euery woman shall aske of her neighbour, and of her that soiourneth in her house, iewels of siluer and iewels of gold and raiment, and ye shall put them on your sonnes, and on your daughters, and shall spoyle the Egyptians.
Mũndũ-wa-nja o wothe Mũisiraeli nĩakahooya mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake, na ahooe mũndũ-wa-nja o wothe matũũranagia nake gwake nyũmba indo cia betha na thahabu o na nguo, iria mũkaahumba ciana cianyu cia aanake na cia airĩtu. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũgataha andũ acio a Misiri.”
