Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not listen to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to you), what shall I say to them?
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 to him, What is this thing that is in your 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 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 to Moses, Stretch forth your hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
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 and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe you, that the God of your fathers has appeared to you, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
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 again to him, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became 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 again, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of 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 if they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you [because] of the voice of the second 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 you for these two signs, and will not listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which you shall take from the river shall be 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 to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that you have begun to speak to your servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
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 to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?
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 And now go and I will open your mouth, and will instruct you in what you shall say.
Fahsrot! Nga ac kasrekom in sramsram, ac nga ac fah fahk nu sum ma kom in fahk.”
13 And Moses said, I pray you, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom you shall send.
Tuh Moses el fahk, “O Leum, nunak munas, supwala siena mwet.”
14 And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Behold! is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he will surely speak to you; and, behold, he will come forth to meet you, and beholding you he will rejoice within himself.
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 you shall speak to him; and you shall put my words into his mouth, and I will open your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you 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 speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be for him in things pertaining to 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 this rod that was turned into a serpent you shall take in your hand, wherewith you shall work miracles.
Us sikal soko ingan wi kom — kom ac fah orek mwenmen kac.”
18 And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.
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 to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought your life are dead.
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 children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from 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 to Moses, When you go and return to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged you with, you shall work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.
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 you shall say to Pharao, These things says the Lord, Israel [is] my firstborn.
Na kom fah fahk nu sel lah nga, LEUM GOD, fahk mu, ‘Israel pa wen se emeet nutik.
23 And I said to you, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if you will not send them away, see, I will kill your firstborn son.
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 [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to kill him.
Ke sie acn in aktuktuk ke inkanek nu Egypt, LEUM GOD El sonol Moses ac oru elan unilya.
25 and Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:
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 and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.
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 they kissed each other.
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 reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged 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 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 spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before 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 rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed 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.
