< Exodus 4 >

1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, Yhwh hath not appeared unto thee.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Mosè, Aa naho tsy miantok’ ahy iereo, tsy mijanjiñe ty feoko, fe hanao ty hoe, Tsy niheo ama’o t’Iehovà?
2 And Yhwh said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
Hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Ino o am-pità’oo? Hoe re, Kobaiñe.
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.
Le hoe re, Afetsaho an-tane eo. Aa le nafetsa’e an-tane naho ninjare mereñe vaho nidisaha’ i Mosè.
4 And Yhwh 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:
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ampitakaro ty fità’o, tsepaho añ’ohi’e—aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e nitsi­paok’ aze vaho niheren-ko kobaiñe am-pità’e ao—
5 That they may believe that Yhwh God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
hiantofa’ iareo te niheo ama’o t’Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, i Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke vaho i Andrianañahare’ Iakòbe.
6 And Yhwh 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.
Natovo’ Iehovà ama’e ty hoe, Azi­liho añ-araña’o ao ty fità’o, le nazili’e añ-araña’e ao ty fità’e le ie nakare’e; hehe te angamae i fità’ey, hafotim-bolovaso.
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.
Le hoe re, Ampolio añ-araña’o ao o fità’oo; aa le nazili’e añ-araña’e ao in­draike i fità’ey naho nakare’e boak’ añ-araña’e ao, ie fa nibali-ko hambañe ami-ty sandri’e.
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.
Aa naho tsy miantok’ azo ndra mijanjiñe ty feo’ i viloñe valoha’ey le hiantofe’iereo ty feo’ i viloñe faharoey.
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.
Ie mboe tsy miantoke i viloñe roe rey naho tsy mañaoñe ty feo’o le anovizo rano boak’ amy Nailey naho adoaño an-tane maike eo, fa hinjare lio an-tane maike eo i rano rinambe’o amy sakaiy.
10 And Moses said unto Yhwh, 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.
Aa hoe t’i Mosè amy Iehovà, Ry Talèko, tsy mahafilañon-draho; ndra taolo ndra hirik’ amy nitsara’o amo mpitoro’oo, te mone midàm-bolañe vaho bedo-lela.
11 And Yhwh 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 Yhwh?
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Ia ro namboatse ty falie’ ondaty? Ia ro mamboatse ty bobo, ty giñe, ty mahaisake, vaho ty fey? Tsy Izaho Iehovà hao?
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
Akia arè; himbaeko ty falie’o vaho hanareko azo ze ho saon­tsie’o.
13 And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
Fe hoe re, Ry Talèko, ehe iraho am-pità’ i hirahe’oy.
14 And the anger of Yhwh 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.
Niviañe amy Mosè amy zao ty haviñera’ Iehovà, le hoe re, Tsy apotako hao i rahalahi’o Aharone nte-Leviy, t’ie mahafirehake? Inao, mionjomb’ ama’o mb’etoa re hifañaoñe ama’o vaho hifale añ’arofo’e te mahaoniñe azo.
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.
Hisaontsy ama’e irehe vaho hajo’o am-palie’e o tsarao. Himbaeko ty falie’o naho i falie’ey vaho hañohako ama’ areo ze hanoe’ areo.
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.
Ie ty hisolo-falie azo am’ ondatio; ie ty ho falie ama’o vaho ho fanalolahy ama’e irehe.
17 And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
Rambeso am-pità’o o kobaiñeo, fa ama’e ty hanoe’o o viloñeo.
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.
Nienga t’i Mosè naho nibalike mb’ aman-dra­foza’e Iitrò mb’eo nanao ty hoe, Ehe angao himpoly mb’amo rolongoko e Mitsraimeo handrèndreke hera mbe veloñe. Le hoe t’i Iitrò amy Mosè, Akia am-panintsiñañe,
19 And Yhwh said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
Hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè e Midiane ao, Akia, mimpolia mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo fa fonga nihomake ondaty nipay ty fiai’oo.
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
Aa le nendese’ i Mosè i vali’ey naho o ana-dahi’eo naho nampiningire’e ami’ty borìke, le nimpoly mb’ an-tane Mitsraime mb’eo; le nitintiñe’ i Mosè am-pità’e i kobain’Añaharey.
21 And Yhwh 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.
Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ie miheo mb’e Mitsraime añe, asoao te hanoe’o añ’atrefa’ i Parò ze hene viloñe napoko am-pita’o, fa hampandiereko ty arofo’e tsy hapo’e hañavelo ondatio.
22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Yhwh, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
Le hoe ty hanoa’o amy Parò, Hoe t’Iehovà: Anako naho tañoloñoloñako t’Israele;
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.
le hoe iraho ama’o, Angao hañavelo i anakoy hitoroñe ahy. F’ie mifoneñe tsy hampañavelo aze, inao arè: havetrako ty ana-dahi’o, i tañoloñoloña’oy.
24 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that Yhwh met him, and sought to kill him.
Ie amy liay, amy nialeña’ iareoy, le nifanampe ama’e t’Iehovà, ho nañè-doza ama’e.
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.
Le rinambe’ i Tsiporàe ty vato masioñe le tinampa’e ty ofon’ ana-dahi’e naho nahifi’e am-pandia’eo vaho hoe re, Toe mpañenga-an-dio amako irehe!
26 So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
Aa le na­votso’e vaho nanao ty hoe i rakembay, Ty valiko an-dio ty amy savatsey.
27 And Yhwh said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
Hoe t’Iehovà amy Aharone, Akia mb’ am-patram­bey añe hifanalaka amy Mosè. Aa le nimb’eo re nifanalaka ama’e am-bohin’ Añahare eo vaho norofa’e.
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of Yhwh who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
Nita­roñe’ i Mosè amy Aharone ze hene nitsarae’ Iehovà nañirak’ azey vaho i viloñe iaby nafanto’e ama’e rezay.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
Nimb’ eo amy zao t’i Mosè naho i Aharone nanontoñe ze hene androanavi’ o ana’ Israeleo;
30 And Aaron spake all the words which Yhwh had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
le nisaontsie’ i Aharone o nitsa­rae’ Iehovà amy Mosè iabio vaho nanoe’e am-pahaisaha’ ondatio o viloñeo.
31 And the people believed: and when they heard that Yhwh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Niantoke ondatio, aa naho jinanji’ o ana’ Israeleo te nisary iareo t’Iehovà naho nivazohoe’e ty fisotria’ iareo, le niondreke vaho nitalaho.
