< Exodus 4 >

1 Then Moses answered, and said, But lo, they will not beleeue me, nor hearken vnto my voyce: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared vnto thee.
Musa nodwoko niya, “To kapo ni ok giyie kata winjo wachna mi giwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ofwenyoreni’?”
2 And the Lord said vnto him, What is that in thine hande? And he answered, A rod.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenje niya, “Mano en angʼo mantie e lwetino?” Musa nodwoko niya, “En luth.”
3 Then said he, Cast it on the ground. So he cast it on the grounde, and it was turned into a serpent: and Moses fled from it.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya “Bole piny kanyo.” Musa nobole piny e lowo kendo nolokore thuol mi Musa noringe.
4 Againe the Lord saide vnto Moses, Put foorth thine hand, and take it by the tayle. Then he put foorth his hande and caught it, and it was turned into a rod in his hand.
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 Do this that they may beleeue, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath appeared vnto 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 saide furthermore vnto him, Thrust nowe thine hand into thy bosome. And he thrust his hand into his bosome, and when he tooke it out againe, behold, his hand was leprous as snowe.
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 Moreouer he said, Put thine hand into thy bosome againe. So he put his hande into his bosome againe, and pluckt it out of his bosome, and behold, it was turned againe as his 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 So shall it be, if they wil not beleeue thee, neither obey the voyce of ye first signe, yet shall they beleeue for the voyce of the seconde signe.
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 yet beleeue these two signes, neither obey vnto thy voyce, then shalt thou take of the water of the riuer, and powre it vpon the drie lande: so the water which thou shalt take out of the riuer, shalbe turned to blood vpon the drie land.
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 But Moses said vnto the Lord, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither at any time haue bene, nor yet since thou hast spoken vnto thy seruant: but I am slowe of speach and slowe 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 Then the Lord said vnto him, Who hath giuen the mouth to man? or who hath made the domme, or the deafe, or him that seeth, or the blinde? haue not I the Lord?
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 Therefore goe nowe, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
Omiyo koro dhiyo, abiro konyi e wuoyo bende abiro puonji gima onego iwachi.”
13 But he saide, Oh my Lord, sende, I pray thee, by the hande of him, whome thou shouldest sende.
To Musa nodwoke niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ka iyie to or ngʼat machielo.”
14 Then the Lord was verie angrie with Moses, and said, Doe not I know Aaron thy brother the Leuite, that he himselfe shall speake? for loe, he commeth also foorth to meete thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his 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 Therefore thou shalt speake vnto him, and put the wordes in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye ought to doe.
Ibiro wuoyo kode mi iket weche e dhoge; abiro konyou un ji ariyo mondo uwuo bende abiro puonjou gima onego utim.
16 And he shall be thy spokesman vnto the people: and he shall be, euen he shall be as thy mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God.
Obiro wuoyo gi ji kari kendo obiro bedo kaka dhogi bende ibiro bedone kaka Nyasaye.
17 Moreouer thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do miracles.
To kaw ludhni e lweti nimar ibiro timo kode honni gi ranyisi.”
18 Therefore Moses went and returned to Iethro his father in lawe, and said vnto him, I pray thee, let me goe, and returne to my brethren, which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet aliue. Then Iethro said to Moses, 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 (For the Lord had said vnto Moses in Midian, Goe, returne to Egypt: for they are all dead which went about to kill thee)
Noyudo Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo gi Musa e piny Midian kowachone niya, “Dog Misri, nikech jogo duto mane dwaro negi osetho.”
20 Then Moses tooke his wife, and his sonnes, and put them on an asse, and returned towarde the lande of Egypt, and Moses tooke 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 saide vnto Moses, When thou art entred and come into Egypt againe, see that thou doe all the wonders before Pharaoh, which I haue put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, and he shall not let the people goe.
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 Then thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my sonne, euen my first borne.
Eka iniwach ni Farao kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Israel e wuoda makayo,
23 Wherefore I say to thee, Let my sonne go, that he may serue me: if thou refuse to let him goe, beholde, I will slay thy sonne, euen thy first borne.
kendo ne anyisi niya, “Yie iwe wuoda odhi, mondo olama.” To nikech nidagi weye mondo odhi; koro abiro nego wuodi makayo.’”
24 And as he was by the waye in the ynne, the Lord met him, and would haue killed him.
E kinde mane Musa obuoro kamoro e kor yo, Jehova Nyasaye noromo kode kendo nochiegni nege.
25 Then Zipporah tooke a sharpe knife, and cut away the foreskinne of her sonne, and cast it at his feete, and said, Thou art indeede a bloody husband vnto 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 So he departed from him. Then she saide, O bloodie husband (because of the circumcision)
Eka Jehova Nyasaye noweye. (E kindeno ema Zipora nowachoe niya, “Wuon kisera mar remo,” ma tiende ni tero nyangu.)
27 Then the Lord saide vnto Aaron, Goe meete Moses in the wildernesse. And he went and mette him in the Mount 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 Then Moses tolde Aaron all the wordes of the Lord, who had sent him, and all the signes wherewith he had charged him.
Eka Musa nonyiso Harun weche duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo owachi, kendo nonyise honni duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo otim.
29 So went Moses and Aaron, and gathered all the Elders of the children of Israel.
Eka Musa gi Harun nochoko jodong jo-Israel duto kanyakla,
30 And Aaron told all the wordes, which the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, and he did the miracles in the sight of the people,
kendo Harun nonyisogi gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye onyiso Musa. Bende notimo honni duto e nyim ji,
31 And the people beleeued, and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and had looked vpon their tribulation, they bowed downe, and worshipped.
kendo ne giyie. Kendo kane giwinjo ni Jehova Nyasaye oseneno chandruokgi kendo ni odwaro resogi, negikulore mi gilame.
