< Exodus 3 >
1 And Moses he was pasturing [the] flock of Jethro father-in-law his [the] priest of Midian and he drove the flock behind the wilderness and he came to [the] mountain of God Horeb towards.
UMozisi wayeselusa-ke umhlambi kaJetro uyisezala, umpristi weMidiyani; waqhuba umhlambi waya ngaphambili kwenkangala waze wafika entabeni kaNkulunkulu, eHorebe.
2 And he appeared [the] angel of Yahweh to him in a flame of fire from [the] middle of the bush and he saw and there! the bush [was] burning with fire and the bush not it [was] consumed.
Njalo ingilosi yeNkosi yabonakala kuye elangabini lomlilo liphuma phakathi kwesihlahla; wasebona, khangela-ke, isihlahla sivutha umlilo, kodwa isihlahla sasingapheli.
3 And he said Moses I will turn aside please so I may see the sight great this why? not is it burning the bush.
UMozisi wasesithi: Ngizaphambuka-ke ngibone lo umbono omkhulu, ukuthi kungani isihlahla singatshi.
4 And he saw Yahweh that he had turned aside to look and he called to him God from [the] middle of the bush and he said O Moses Moses and he said here [am] I.
Kwathi iNkosi isibonile ukuthi uphambukile ukuyabona, uNkulunkulu wambiza ephakathi kwesihlahla, wathi: Mozisi, Mozisi! Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha.
5 And he said may not you draw near here take off sandals your from on feet your for the place which you [are] standing on it [is] ground of holiness it.
Wasesithi: Ungasondeli lapha; khupha amanyathela akho enyaweni zakho, ngoba indawo omi kuyo ingumhlabathi ongcwele.
6 And he said I [am] [the] God of father your [the] God of Abraham [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob and he hid Moses face his for he was afraid from looking to God.
Wathi futhi: NginguNkulunkulu kayihlo, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, uNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe. UMozisi wasefihla ubuso bakhe, ngoba esesaba ukukhangela uNkulunkulu.
7 And he said Yahweh certainly I have seen [the] affliction of people my which [is] in Egypt and cry of distress their I have heard because of taskmasters its for I know pains its.
INkosi yasisithi: Isibili ngibonile ukuhlupheka kwesizwe sami esiseGibhithe, ngizwile ukukhala kwabo ngenxa yabaqhubi besibhalo babo; ngoba ngiyazazi insizi zabo;
8 And I have come down to deliver it - from [the] hand of Egypt and to bring up it from the land that into a land good and spacious into a land flowing of milk and honey to [the] place of the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
njalo ngehlile ukusikhulula ezandleni zamaGibhithe, lokusenyusa kulelolizwe, ngisise elizweni elihle elibanzi, siye elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju, siye endaweni yamaKhanani lamaHethi lamaAmori lamaPerizi lamaHivi lamaJebusi.
9 And now there! [the] cry of distress of [the] people of Israel it has come to me and also I have seen the oppression which Egypt [are] oppressing them.
Khathesi-ke, khangela, ukukhala kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli sekufikile kimi; njalo lami ngibonile ucindezelo amaGibhithe abacindezela ngalo.
10 And therefore go! and I will send you to Pharaoh and bring out people my [the] people of Israel from Egypt.
Khathesi-ke, woza, ngizakuthuma kuFaro ukuze ukhuphe isizwe sami, abantwana bakoIsrayeli, eGibhithe.
11 And he said Moses to God who? [am] I that I will go to Pharaoh and that I will bring out [the] people of Israel from Egypt.
Kodwa uMozisi wathi kuNkulunkulu: Ngingubani mina ukuthi ngiye kuFaro, lokuthi ngikhuphe abantwana bakoIsrayeli eGibhithe?
12 And he said that I will be with you and this for you [will be] the sign that I I sent you when bringing out you the people from Egypt you will serve! God on the mountain this.
Wasesithi: Isibili ngizakuba lawe; lalokhu kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kuwe sokuthi mina ngikuthumile; lapho ususikhuphile isizwe eGibhithe, lizamkhonza uNkulunkulu kulintaba.
13 And he said Moses to God here! I [am] about to go to [the] people of Israel and I will say to them [the] God of ancestors your he has sent me to you and they will say to me what? [is] name his what? will I say to them.
UMozisi wasesithi kuNkulunkulu: Khangela, nxa ngifika kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ngisithi kubo: UNkulunkulu waboyihlo ungithumile kini; bazakuthi kimi: Ungubani ibizo lakhe? Ngizathini kubo?
14 And he said God to Moses I am [that] which I am and he said thus you will say to [the] people of Israel I am he has sent me to you.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi kuMozisi: NGINGUYE ENGINGUYE. Wathi futhi: Uzakutsho njalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: UNGINGUYE ungithumile kini.
15 And he said again God to Moses thus you will say to [the] people of Israel Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your [the] God of Abraham [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob he has sent me to you this [is] name my for ever and this [is] memorial my to a generation generation.
UNkulunkulu wasesithi njalo kuMozisi: Uzakutsho njalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: INkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, uNkulunkulu kaIsaka, loNkulunkulu kaJakobe ungithumile kini; leli libizo lami kuze kube nininini, njalo lesi yisikhumbuzo sami kusizukulwana kusiya kusizukulwana.
16 Go and you will gather [the] elders of Israel and you will say to them Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your he appeared to me [the] God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob saying certainly I have observed you and the [thing] done to you in Egypt.
Hamba, ubuthanise abadala bakoIsrayeli, uthi kubo: INkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo ibonakele kimi, uNkulunkulu kaAbrahama, kaIsaka, lokaJakobe, isithi: Ngokulihambela ngilihambele, lalokho elikwenziwe eGibhithe;
17 And I have said I will bring up you from [the] affliction of Egypt into [the] land of the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] into a land flowing of milk and honey.
futhi ngathi ngizalenyusa enhluphekweni yeGibhithe, ngilise elizweni lamaKhanani lelamaHethi lelamaAmori lelamaPerizi lelamaHivi lelamaJebusi, liye elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju.
18 And they will listen to voice your and you will go you and [the] elders of Israel to [the] king of Egypt and you will say to him Yahweh [the] God of the Hebrews he has met with us and therefore let us go please a journey of three days in the wilderness and let us sacrifice to Yahweh God our.
Njalo bazalalela ilizwi lakho. Futhi uzakuya, wena labadala bakoIsrayeli, enkosini yeGibhithe, lithi kuyo: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wamaHebheru, ihlangene lathi; khathesi-ke, ake usiyekele sihambe ummango wensuku ezintathu siye enkangala ukuze sihlabele iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
19 And I I know that not he will permit you [the] king of Egypt to go and not by a hand strong.
Kodwa mina ngiyazi ukuthi inkosi yeGibhithe kayiyikuliyekela lihambe, ngitsho langesandla esilamandla.
20 And I will stretch out hand my and I will strike Egypt with all wonders my which I will do in midst its and after thus he will let go you.
Ngakho ngizakwelula isandla sami ngilitshaye iGibhithe ngezimangaliso zami zonke engizazenza phakathi kwalo; njalo emva kwalokho izaliyekela lihambe.
21 And I will give [the] favor of the people this in [the] eyes of Egypt and it will be that you will go! not you will go empty.
Njalo ngizanika lesisizwe umusa emehlweni amaGibhithe. Kuzakuthi-ke mhla lisukayo, kaliyikusuka lingelalutho,
22 And she will ask [each] woman from [female] neighbor her and from [the] [female] sojourner of house her articles of silver and articles of gold and clothes and you will put [them] on sons your and on daughters your and you will plunder Egypt.
kodwa wonke owesifazana uzacela kumakhelwane wakhe, lakuye ohlezihleziyo endlini yakhe, izinto zesiliva, lezinto zegolide, lemvunulo; lizazifaka emadodaneni enu lemadodakazini enu; lizawaphanga amaGibhithe.
