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.
Mosis zaghachiri ya sị, “Gịnị ga-eme ma ọ bụrụ na ha agaghị ekwenye ihe m kwuru maọbụ ajụ ige m ntị? Ọ bụrụ na ha asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị egosighị gị onwe ya.’”
2 And the Lord said vnto him, What is that in thine hande? And he answered, A rod.
Ma Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Mosis ajụjụ sị ya, “Gịnị ka i ji nʼaka?” Mosis zara sị, “Ọ bụ mkpanaka.”
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.
Onyenwe anyị sịrị ya, “Tụpụ ya nʼala.” Mosis tụpụrụ ya nʼala. Ma otu mgbe ahụ, ọ ghọrọ agwọ. Mosis sitere nʼebe agwọ ahụ nọ gbapụ ọsọ.
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.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu ọzọ sị ya, “Jide agwọ ahụ aka nʼọdụdụ ya.” Mgbe Mosis mere nke a, agwọ ahụ ghọghachikwara mkpanaka.
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.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis sị, “Ọ bụrụ na i mee ihe ịrịbama a, ha ga-ekwere ihe ị gwara ha. Ha ga-aghọta na Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna ha, Chineke Ebraham, Chineke Aịzik, na Chineke Jekọb gosiri gị onwe ya.”
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.
Onyenwe anyị gwara ya okwu ọzọ sị, “Tinye aka gị nʼime uwe i yi nʼime ahụ gị.” Mgbe Mosis tinyere aka ya wepụta ya, ọ chọpụtara na ekpenta jupụtara nʼaka ahụ nke na-enwu ezi ọcha.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Tinyekwa aka gị nʼime uwe i yi nʼime ahụ gị.” Mosis mere otu a. Mgbe o wepụtara aka ya ọzọ, ọ hụrụ na ọ dịghachiri dịka akụkụ anụ ahụ ya ndị ọzọ.
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.
Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na ụmụ Izrel ekweghị gị maọbụ nabata ihe ama nke mbụ, ha ga-ekwe ihe ịrịbama nke abụọ a.
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.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ha ekwenyeghị nʼihe ịrịbama abụọ ndị a ma ọ bụkwanụ gee gị ntị; kute mmiri nʼosimiri Naịl, wụpụ ya nʼala akọrọ. Mmiri ahụ nke i kutere site nʼosimiri ga-agbanwe, ghọọ ọbara nʼala akọrọ.”
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.
Mosis sịrị Onyenwe anyị, “Biko Onyenwe m, abụghị m onye mara ekwu okwu. Ọ nwebeghị oge m ji bụrụ onye ọka okwu, na mgbe gara aga maọbụ site na mgbe ị gwara ohu gị okwu. Lee, onye nwere ire na egbugbere ọnụ dị arọ ka m bụ.”
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?
Onyenwe anyị jụrụ Mosis ajụjụ sị, “Onye mere ọnụ mmadụ? Onye na-emekwa ka ntị mmadụ chie ya, maọbụ ka mmadụ daa ogbi? Onye na-eme ka mmadụ hụ ụzọ, maọbụ kpụọ ìsì? Ọ bụghị mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị?
12 Therefore goe nowe, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
Ugbu a, gaa mee ihe m gwara gị. Aga m enyere gị aka ikwu okwu nke ọma. Aga m agwakwa gị ihe ị ga-ekwu.”
13 But he saide, Oh my Lord, sende, I pray thee, by the hande of him, whome thou shouldest sende.
Ma ọ rịọrọ, “Biko Onyenwe m, ziganụ onye ọzọ.”
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.
Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide Mosis sị ya, “Kedụ maka nwanne gị nwoke Erọn onye Livayị, amaara m na ọ bụ onye ọka okwu. Lee, ọ na-abịa izute gị. Ọ ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ mgbe ọ chọtara gị.
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.
Ị ga-agwa ya okwu, tinye okwu gị nʼọnụ ya. Aga m enyere unu abụọ aka ikwu okwu nke ọma, aga m ezikwa unu abụọ ihe unu ga-eme.
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.
Ọ ga-abụ onye na-ekwuchite ọnụ gị nʼebe ndị mmadụ nọ. Ị ga-anọ dịka Chineke nʼebe ọ nọ, nʼihi na ị ga-agwa ya ihe niile ọ ga-ekwu.
17 Moreouer thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do miracles.
Ma ị ga-ejide mkpanaka a dị nʼaka gị ka i nwee ike jiri ya mee ihe ịrịbama.”
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.
Emesịa, Mosis lọghachiri nʼụlọ ebe o bi, jekwuru Jetro ọgọ ya nwoke rịọọ ya sị, “Biko kwere ka m laghachi nʼIjipt gaa chọpụta ma o nwere ndị ikwu m ka dị ndụ.” Jetro sịrị, “Gaa nʼudo.”
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)
Ugbu a Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu nʼala Midia sị ya, “Laghachi Ijipt nʼihi na ndị niile chọrọ igbu gị anwụchaala.”
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.
Mosis kpọọrọ nwunye ya, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom, nọkwasị nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu, laghachi nʼala Ijipt. O jikwa mkpanaka Chineke ahụ nʼaka ya.
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.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya, “Mgbe i ruru Ijipt, hụ na ị gara nʼihu Fero mee ihe ebube niile m nyere gị ike ime. Ma aga m eme ka obi ya sie ike, ka ọ ghara ikwe ka ndị m laa.
22 Then thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my sonne, euen my first borne.
Ị ga-agwa Fero okwu sị ya, ‘Nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Izrel bụ Ọkpara m.
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.
Agwara m gị okwu sị, “Hapụ nwa m nwoke ka o si nʼala Ijipt pụọ gaa ebe ọ ga-anọ fee m ofufe,” ma ị jụrụ ajụ. Ugbu a aga m egbu ọkpara gị.’”
24 And as he was by the waye in the ynne, the Lord met him, and would haue killed him.
Mgbe Mosis na ezinaụlọ ya na-alaghachi Ijipt, ha rutere ebe ha ga-ezu ike abalị. Nʼebe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị bịakwutere Mosis chọọ igbu ya.
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.
Ma Zipọra nwunye Mosis weere mma ntakịrị bie nwa ya ugwu. O were ihe o bipụtara nʼugwu a metụ nʼụkwụ Mosis, kwuo sị, “Nʼezie, ị bụ di ọbara nʼebe m nọ.”
26 So he departed from him. Then she saide, O bloodie husband (because of the circumcision)
Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị hapụrụ Mosis. (Mgbe ahụ, Zipọra kwuru sị, “Ị bụ di ọbara,” nʼihi obibi ugwu ahụ.)
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.
Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị gwara Erọn okwu sị, “Gaa nʼime ọzara ka izute Mosis.” Erọn gara jekwuru Mosis nʼugwu Horeb, ugwu Chineke, sutu ya ọnụ.
28 Then Moses tolde Aaron all the wordes of the Lord, who had sent him, and all the signes wherewith he had charged him.
Mgbe ahụ Mosis gwara Erọn ihe niile Onyenwe anyị ziri ya ka o kwuo, ya na ihe ịrịbama ndị ahụ niile o nyere nʼiwu ka o mee.
29 So went Moses and Aaron, and gathered all the Elders of the children of Israel.
Mosis na Erọn jeruru Ijipt kpọọ nzukọ ndị okenye ụmụ Izrel niile.
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,
Erọn gwara ha ihe niile Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis. Mosis, nʼonwe ya mere ihe ịrịbama ahụ niile nʼihu anya ha.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, ha kwenyere; dịka ha nụrụ na Onyenwe anyị eletala ụmụ Izrel, ma hụkwa ahụhụ ha. Ha kpọrọ isiala fee ya ofufe.
