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?”
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 YHWH says to him, “What [is] this in your hand?” And he says, “A rod”;
Ouinge LEUM GOD El siyuk sel, “Mea se inpoum an?” El topuk, “Sikal soko.”
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.
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 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—
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 “so that they believe that YHWH, God of their fathers, has appeared to you, God of Abraham, 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 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;
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 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—
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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?
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 am with your mouth, and have directed you that which you speak”;
Fahsrot! Nga ac kasrekom in sramsram, ac nga ac fah fahk nu sum ma kom in fahk.”
13 and he says, “O my Lord, please send by the hand [of another that] You send.”
Tuh Moses el fahk, “O Leum, nunak munas, supwala siena mwet.”
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,
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 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;
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, 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;
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 you take this rod in your hand, with which you do the signs.”
Us sikal soko ingan wi kom — kom ac fah orek mwenmen kac.”
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.”
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 YHWH says to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt, for all the men who seek your life have died”;
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 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.
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 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;
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 have said to Pharaoh, Thus said YHWH: My son, My firstborn [is] Israel,
Na kom fah fahk nu sel lah nga, LEUM GOD, fahk mu, ‘Israel pa wen se emeet nutik.
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.”
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 comes to pass in the way, in a lodging place, that YHWH meets him, and seeks to put him to death;
Ke sie acn in aktuktuk ke inkanek nu Egypt, LEUM GOD El sonol Moses ac oru elan unilya.
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”;
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 desists from him. Then she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” in reference to the circumcision.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El tila unilya Moses. Na mutan sac sifilpa fahk, “Kom mukul tumuk in srah ke sripen kosrala.”
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,
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 declares to Aaron all the words of YHWH with which He has sent him, and all the signs with which He has 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 goes—Aaron also—and they gather all the elderly of the sons of Israel,
Ouinge Moses ac Aaron som nu Egypt ac pangoneni mwet kol lun Israel nukewa nu sie.
30 and Aaron speaks all the words which YHWH has spoken to Moses, and does the signs before the eyes 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 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.
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.
