Exodus 4
1 AND Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.
Na Moses el topuk LEUM GOD ac fahk, “Tusruktu fin pa mwet Israel elos tiana lulalfongiyu ac tia porongo ma nga fahk uh, mea nga ac oru elos fin fahk mu kom tiana sikme nu sik?”
2 And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El siyuk sel, “Mea se inpoum an?” El topuk, “Sikal soko.”
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Sisya nu infohk an.” Pacl se ke Moses el sisya ah, sikal soko ah ekla nu ke wet soko, ac Moses el kaing liki.
4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Kui, sruokya pulal ac srukak.” Na Moses el asroela paul ac sruokya, na wet soko ah sifilpa ekla sikal soko.
5 That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oru ouinge in akpwayei nu sin mwet Israel lah LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos — God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob — El sikyak nu sum.”
6 And the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
LEUM GOD El sifilpa kaskas nu sel Moses, “Isongya poum nu luin nuknuk lom an.” Moses el akos; ac ke el eisla paol liki nuknuk lal ah, mas lepa oan kac, fasrfasr oana snow.
7 And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Sifilpa isongya poum nu luin nuknuk lom an.” El oru oana, ac ke el eisla, paol kwela ac oana meet ah.
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Elos fin tiana porongekom ku lulalfongi mwenmen se meet an, na elos ac fah lulalfongi ke mwenmen se akluo uh.
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
Na elos fin tiana lulalfongi ke mwenmen luo inge ac srakna tia lungse lohng pusrem, kom utiya kutu kof infacl Nile ac ukuiya infohk ah. Kof ah ac fah ekla nu ke srah.”
10 And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
Tuh Moses el fahk, “O Leum, nunak munas nu sik. Nga nuna mwet supah in kaskas se, ac inge ke kom sramsram nu sik, nga srakna supah in kas. Nga pahtlac in nunkauk ma ngan fahk, ac nga kaskas lohlo.”
11 And the Lord said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Su orala oalin mwet uh? Su oru mwet se in koflana kaskas ku sulohngkas? Su orala mwet se in liyaten ku in kun? Nga, LEUM GOD.
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
Fahsrot! Nga ac kasrekom in sramsram, ac nga ac fah fahk nu sum ma kom in fahk.”
13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
Tuh Moses el fahk, “O Leum, nunak munas, supwala siena mwet.”
14 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
Na LEUM GOD El kasrkusrakak sel Moses ac fahk, “Ac Aaron, tamulel Levi se wiom ah? Nga etu lah el mwet pah in kas se. Inge, el ac tuku in osun nu sum, ac el ac arulana engan in liye kom.
15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
Kom ku in sramsram nu sel ac fahk ma elan fahk. Nga ac kasrekomtal kewa in kaskas, ac nga ac fahk nu sumtal ma komtal in oru.
16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
El ac fah mwet sramsram lom ac aol kom in kaskas nu sin mwet uh. Na kom ac fah oana God nu sel in fahkang ma elan fahk.
17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
Us sikal soko ingan wi kom — kom ac fah orek mwenmen kac.”
18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Na Moses el folokla nu yorol Jethro, papa tumun mutan kial, ac fahk nu sel, “Nunak munas, lela nga in folokla nu yurin sou luk in acn Egypt in liye lah elos srakna moul.” Jethro el insese nu kac ac wilkas nu sel.
19 And the Lord said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
Ke Moses el srakna muta Midian, LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Folokla nu Egypt tuh elos nukewa su suk in unikomi elos misa.”
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
Ouinge Moses el us mutan kial ac wen natul, fuhleltal uh fin soko donkey ac mukuiyak nu Egypt. El us sikal soko ma God El fahk nu sel elan us.
21 And the Lord said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
LEUM GOD El sifilpa fahk nu sel Moses, “Inge ke kom ac folokla nu Egypt uh, aklohya in oru mwenmen nukewa ma nga sot ku nu sum in oru ye mutal tokosra. Tusruktu nga fah akupaye nunkal tokosra, ac el ac fah tia fuhlela mwet uh in som.
22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
Na kom fah fahk nu sel lah nga, LEUM GOD, fahk mu, ‘Israel pa wen se emeet nutik.
23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
Nga fahk nu sum in fuhlela wen nutik in som tuh elan ku in alu nu sik, a kom srunga. Inge nga ac uniya wen se oemeet nutum.’”
24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him.
Ke sie acn in aktuktuk ke inkanek nu Egypt, LEUM GOD El sonol Moses ac oru elan unilya.
25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
Tuh Zipporah el srukak eot kosroh se, ac supukla kulun ma mukul lun wen natul, ac sang pusralla falkal Moses, ac fahk, “Pwayena kom pa mukul ke srah tumuk.”
26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El tila unilya Moses. Na mutan sac sifilpa fahk, “Kom mukul tumuk in srah ke sripen kosrala.”
27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Aaron, “Som nu yen mwesis in osun nu sel Moses.” Ouinge el som ac sonol pe eol mutal. Ac ke el sonol el ngok mutal.
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
Na Moses el fahkang nu sel Aaron ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk ke El supwal elan folok nu Egypt. El oayapa srumun ke mwenmen su LEUM GOD El sapkin elan oru.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
Ouinge Moses ac Aaron som nu Egypt ac pangoneni mwet kol lun Israel nukewa nu sie.
30 And Aaron spake all the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
Aaron el srumun nu selos ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, na Moses el oru mwenmen nukewa ye mutalos.
31 And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Elos lulalfongi ma elos liye ac lohng, ac ke elos lohng lah LEUM GOD El tuku nu yorolos ac liye lupan mwe keok orek nu selos, elos faksufi ac alu.
