Exodus 4
1 And Moses answers and says, “And if they do not give credence to me, nor listen to my voice, and say, YHWH has not appeared to you?”
Musa nodwoko niya, “To kapo ni ok giyie kata winjo wachna mi giwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ofwenyoreni’?”
2 And YHWH says to him, “What [is] this in your hand?” And he says, “A rod”;
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenje niya, “Mano en angʼo mantie e lwetino?” Musa nodwoko niya, “En luth.”
3 and He says, “Cast it to the earth”; and he casts it to the earth, and it becomes a serpent—and Moses flees from its presence.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya “Bole piny kanyo.” Musa nobole piny e lowo kendo nolokore thuol mi Musa noringe.
4 And YHWH says to Moses, “Put forth your hand, and lay hold on the tail of it”; and he puts forth his hand, and lays hold on it, and it becomes a rod in his hand—
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Rie badi mondo imake gi yo ka iwe.” Kuom Mano Musa norieyo bade kendo nomake gi yo ka iwe mi nochako olokore luth e lwete.
5 “so that they believe that YHWH, God of their fathers, has appeared to you, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.”
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ma en kamano mondo mi giyie ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi; Nyasach Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo osefwenyoreni.”
6 And YHWH says to him again, “Now put your hand into your bosom”; and he puts his hand into his bosom, and he brings it out, and behold, his hand [is] leprous as snow;
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “So lweti ei lawi.” Kuom mano, Musa nosoyo lwete ei lawe kendo kane ogole oko, to lwete nolokore dhoho, marachar ka pe.
7 and He says, “Put your hand back into your bosom”; and he puts his hand back into his bosom, and he brings it out from his bosom, and behold, it has turned back as his flesh—
Bangʼe nonyise niya, “Koro dwok lweti ei law.” Kuom mano, Musa nodwoko lwete ei law, kendo kane ogole, lwete nochango modoko machal gi dende duto.
8 “and it has come to pass, if they do not give credence to you, and do not listen to the voice of the first sign, that they have given credence to the voice of the latter sign.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kapo ni ok giyie gi wachni kata kuom ranyisi mokwongo, to ginyalo yie mar ariyo.
9 And it has come to pass, if they do not give credence even to these two signs, nor listen to your voice, that you have taken of the waters of the River, and have poured [it] on the dry land, and the waters which you take from the River have been, indeed, they have become blood on the dry land.”
To kapo ni ok giyie gi ranyisi ariyogo kata winjo wachni, to kaw pi mar aora Nael, kendo iole e lowo motwo. Pi migolo e aorano biro lokore remo e lowo motwo.”
10 And Moses says to YHWH, “O my Lord, I [am] not a man of words, either yesterday, or before, or since Your speaking to Your servant, for I [am] slow of mouth, and slow of tongue.”
Musa nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ok asebedo ngʼat ma wuoyo kalewe yot chakre chon kata e sa misebedo ka iwuoyo kod misumbani. Lewa pek kendo aywayo wach.”
11 And YHWH says to him, “Who appointed a mouth for man? Or who appoints the mute, or deaf, or open, or blind? Is it not I, YHWH?
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “En ngʼa manochweyo dho dhano? En ngʼa mamiyo odoko momo kata ite odino? Koso en ngʼa mamiyo oneno kata obedo muofu? Donge en an Jehova Nyasaye?
12 And now, go, and I am with your mouth, and have directed you that which you speak”;
Omiyo koro dhiyo, abiro konyi e wuoyo bende abiro puonji gima onego iwachi.”
13 and he says, “O my Lord, please send by the hand [of another that] You send.”
To Musa nodwoke niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ka iyie to or ngʼat machielo.”
14 And the anger of YHWH burns against Moses, and He says, “Is Aaron the Levite not your brother? I have known that he speaks well, and also, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he has seen you, then he has rejoiced in his heart,
Eka Jehova Nyasaye ne mirima omako gi Musa mowachone niya, “Donge owadu Harun ma ja-Lawi nitie? Angʼeyo ni onyalo wuoyo maber. Osechako wuoth obiro romoni bende chunye biro bedo mamor ka oneni.
15 and you have spoken to him, and have set the words in his mouth, and I am with your mouth, and with his mouth, and have directed you that which you do;
Ibiro wuoyo kode mi iket weche e dhoge; abiro konyou un ji ariyo mondo uwuo bende abiro puonjou gima onego utim.
16 and he, he has spoken to the people for you, and it has come to pass, he is to you for a mouth, and you are to him for God;
Obiro wuoyo gi ji kari kendo obiro bedo kaka dhogi bende ibiro bedone kaka Nyasaye.
17 and you take this rod in your hand, with which you do the signs.”
To kaw ludhni e lweti nimar ibiro timo kode honni gi ranyisi.”
18 And Moses goes and turns back to his father-in-law Jethro, and says to him, “Please let me go, and I return to my brothers who [are] in Egypt, and I see whether they are yet alive.” And Jethro says to Moses, “Go in peace.”
Eka Musa nodok ir Jethro jaduongʼne mowachone niya “Yie iweya adog Misri ir joga mondo ane kapo ni nitie moro kuomgi ma pod ngima.” Jethro nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo kendo ibed gi gweth.”
19 And YHWH says to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt, for all the men who seek your life have died”;
Noyudo Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo gi Musa e piny Midian kowachone niya, “Dog Misri, nikech jogo duto mane dwaro negi osetho.”
20 and Moses takes his wife, and his sons, and causes them to ride on the donkey, and turns back to the land of Egypt, and Moses takes the rod of God in his hand.
Omiyo Musa nokawo chiege kod yawuote, mi oketogi e punda kendo nochako wuoth mar dok Misri. Bende nokawo ludh Nyasaye e lwete.
21 And YHWH says to Moses, “In your going to return to Egypt, see—all the wonders which I have put in your hand—that you have done them before Pharaoh, and I strengthen his heart, and he does not send the people away;
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Ka idok Misri nyaka ine ni itimo e nyim Farao honni duto ma asemiyi teko mondo itim. Makmana abiro miyo chuny Farao doko matek ma ok onyal weyo jo-Israel mondo oa.
22 and you have said to Pharaoh, Thus said YHWH: My son, My firstborn [is] Israel,
Eka iniwach ni Farao kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Israel e wuoda makayo,
23 and I say to you, send My son away, and he serves Me; and [if] you refuse to send him away, behold, I am slaying your son, your firstborn.”
kendo ne anyisi niya, “Yie iwe wuoda odhi, mondo olama.” To nikech nidagi weye mondo odhi; koro abiro nego wuodi makayo.’”
24 And it comes to pass in the way, in a lodging place, that YHWH meets him, and seeks to put him to death;
E kinde mane Musa obuoro kamoro e kor yo, Jehova Nyasaye noromo kode kendo nochiegni nege.
25 and Zipporah takes a flint, and cuts off the foreskin of her son, and causes [it] to touch his feet, and says, “You [are] surely a bridegroom of blood to me”;
To Zipora nokawo pala modingli mi ongʼadogo pien mantie e dho duongʼ wuode kendo nokawo pien-no momulogo tiend Musa. Nowacho niya, “Adier ibedona wuon kisera mar remo.”
26 and He desists from him. Then she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” in reference to the circumcision.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye noweye. (E kindeno ema Zipora nowachoe niya, “Wuon kisera mar remo,” ma tiende ni tero nyangu.)
27 And YHWH says to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses”; and he goes, and meets him on the mountain of God, and kisses him,
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Harun niya, “Dhiyo e thim mondo irom gi Musa.” Omiyo nodhi moromo gi Musa e got mar Nyasaye kendo nonyodhe.
28 and Moses declares to Aaron all the words of YHWH with which He has sent him, and all the signs with which He has charged him.
Eka Musa nonyiso Harun weche duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo owachi, kendo nonyise honni duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo otim.
29 And Moses goes—Aaron also—and they gather all the elderly of the sons of Israel,
Eka Musa gi Harun nochoko jodong jo-Israel duto kanyakla,
30 and Aaron speaks all the words which YHWH has spoken to Moses, and does the signs before the eyes of the people;
kendo Harun nonyisogi gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye onyiso Musa. Bende notimo honni duto e nyim ji,
31 and the people believe when they hear that YHWH has looked after the sons of Israel, and that He has seen their affliction; and they bow and pay respect.
kendo ne giyie. Kendo kane giwinjo ni Jehova Nyasaye oseneno chandruokgi kendo ni odwaro resogi, negikulore mi gilame.
