Exodus 6

1 Then the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Nowe shalt thou see, what I will doe vnto Pharaoh: for by a strong hand shall he let them goe, and euen be constrained to driue them out of his land.

Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Sasa utaona kitu nitakachomfanyia Farao: Kwa sababu ya mkono wangu wenye nguvu atawaachia watu waende; kwa sababu ya mkono wangu wenye nguvu atawafukuza waondoke nchini mwake.”

2 Moreouer God spake vnto Moses, and sayd vnto him, I am the Lord,

Pia Mungu akamwambia Mose, “Mimi ndimi Bwana.

3 And I appeared vnto Abraham, to Izhak, and to Iaakob by the Name of Almightie God: but by my Name Iehouah was I not knowen vnto the.

Nilimtokea Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo kama Mungu Mwenyezi, ingawa sikuwajulisha Jina langu, Yehova, Mimi mwenyewe sikujitambulisha kwao.

4 Furthermore as I made my couenant with them to giue them ye land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers:

Pia niliweka Agano langu nao kuwapa nchi ya Kanaani, ambako waliishi kama wageni.

5 So I haue also hearde the groning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keepe in bondage, and haue remembred my couenant.

Zaidi ya hayo, nimesikia kilio cha huzuni cha Waisraeli ambao Wamisri wamewatia utumwani, nami nimelikumbuka Agano langu.

6 Wherefore say thou vnto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from the burdens of the Egyptians, and will deliuer you out of their bondage, and will redeeme you in a stretched out arme, and in great iudgements.

“Kwa hiyo, waambie Waisraeli: ‘Mimi ndimi Bwana, nami nitawatoa mtoke katika kongwa la Wamisri. Nitawaweka huru mtoke kuwa watumwa wao, nami nitawakomboa kwa mkono ulionyooshwa pamoja na matendo makuu ya hukumu.

7 Also I will take you for my people, and will be your God: then ye shall knowe that I the Lord your God bring you out from the burdens of the Egyptians.

Nitawatwaa mwe watu wangu mwenyewe, nami nitakuwa Mungu wenu. Ndipo mtajua kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, niliyewatoa chini ya kongwa la Wamisri.

8 And I will bring you into the land which I sware that I woulde giue to Abraham, to Izhak, and to Iaakob, and I will giue it vnto you for a possession: I am the Lord.

Nami nitawaleta mpaka nchi niliyoapa kwa mkono ulioinuliwa kumpa Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo. Nitawapa iwe milki yenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”

9 So Moses told the children of Israel thus: but they hearkened not vnto Moses, for anguish of spirit and for cruel bondage.

Mose akawaarifu Waisraeli jambo hili, lakini hawakumsikiliza kwa sababu ya maumivu makuu ya moyoni na utumwa wa kikatili.

10 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,

11 Go speak to Pharaoh King of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel goe out of his land.

“Nenda, mwambie Farao mfalme wa Misri awaachie Waisraeli waondoke nchini mwake.”

12 But Moses spake before the Lord, saying, Beholde, the children of Israel hearken not vnto me, howe then shall Pharaoh heare mee, which am of vncircumcised lippes?

Lakini Mose akamwambia Bwana, “Ikiwa Waisraeli hawatanisikiliza, kwa nini yeye Farao anisikilize mimi, ambaye huzungumza kwa kigugumizi?”

13 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses and vnto Aaron, and charged them to goe to the children of Israel and to Pharaoh King of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the lande of Egypt.

Ndipo Bwana akanena na Mose na Aroni kuhusu Waisraeli na Farao mfalme wa Misri, naye akawaamuru wawatoe Waisraeli kutoka Misri.

27 These are that Moses and Aaron, which spake to Pharaoh King of Egypt, that they might bring the children of Israel out of Egypt.

Ndio hao hao waliozungumza na Farao mfalme wa Misri kuhusu kuwatoa Waisraeli Misri. Ilikuwa ni huyo Mose na huyo Aroni.

28 And at that time when the Lord spake vnto Moses in the land of Egypt,

Bwana aliponena na Mose huko Misri,

29 When the Lord, I say, spake vnto Moses, saying, I am the Lord, speake thou vnto Pharaoh the King of Egypt all that I say vnto thee,

akamwambia, “Mimi ndimi Bwana. Mwambie Farao mfalme wa Misri kila kitu nikuambiacho.”

30 Then Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am of vncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heare me?

Lakini Mose akamwambia Bwana, “Kwa kuwa mimi huzungumza kwa kigugumizi, Farao atanisikiliza mimi?”
