Exodus 4
1 And he answered Moses and he said and here! not they will believe me and not they will listen to voice my for they will say not he appeared to you Yahweh.
Mose akamjibu, “Itakuwaje kama hawataniamini au kunisikiliza, waseme, ‘Bwana hakukutokea’?”
2 And he said to him Yahweh (what [is] this? *Q(K)*) [is] in hand your and he said a staff.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia, “Ni nini hicho kilicho mkononi mwako?” Akajibu, “Fimbo.”
3 And he said throw it [the] ground towards and he threw it [the] ground towards and it became a snake and he fled Moses from before it.
Bwana akasema, “Itupe chini.” Mose akaitupa chini hiyo fimbo nayo ikawa nyoka, naye akaikimbia.
4 And he said Yahweh to Moses stretch out hand your and hold on tail its and he stretched out hand his and he took hold on it and it became a staff in hand his.
Kisha Bwana akamwambia, “Nyoosha mkono wako umkamate mkiani.” Basi Mose akanyoosha mkono akamkamata yule nyoka, naye akabadilika tena kuwa fimbo mkononi mwake.
5 So that they may believe that he appeared to you Yahweh [the] God ancestors their [the] God of Abraham [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob.
Bwana akasema, “Hivi ndivyo Waisraeli watakavyoamini kuwa Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao, Mungu wa Abrahamu, Mungu wa Isaki, na Mungu wa Yakobo, amekutokea wewe.”
6 And he said Yahweh to him again put please hand your in bosom your and he put hand his in bosom his and he brought out it and there! hand his [was] leprous like snow.
Kisha Bwana akamwambia, “Weka mkono wako ndani ya joho lako.” Basi Mose akaweka mkono wake ndani ya joho lake, naye alipoutoa, ulikuwa na ukoma, mweupe kama theluji.
7 And he said return hand your into bosom your and he returned hand his into bosom his and he brought out it from bosom his and there! it had turned back like flesh his.
Mungu akamwambia, “Sasa urudishe tena huo mkono ndani ya joho lako.” Basi Mose akaurudisha mkono wake ndani ya joho lake na alipoutoa, ulikuwa mzima, kama sehemu zingine za mwili wake.
8 And it will be if not they will believe you and not they will listen to [the] voice of the sign former and they will believe [the] voice of the sign latter.
Ndipo Bwana akamwambia, “Kama hawatakuamini wewe, au kutojali ishara ya kwanza, wataamini ishara ya pili.
9 And it will be if not they will believe also [the] two the signs these and not they will listen! to voice your and you will take some of [the] water of the River and you will pour [it] out the dry ground and they will become the waters which you will take from the River and they will become blood on the dry ground.
Lakini kama hawataamini ishara hizi mbili au hawatawasikiliza ninyi, chukua kiasi cha maji kutoka Mto Naili uyamimine juu ya ardhi kavu. Maji mtakayotoa mtoni yatakuwa damu juu ya ardhi.”
10 And he said Moses to Yahweh pardon me O Lord not [am] a man of words I neither from yesterday nor from three days ago nor from then speaking you to servant your for [am] heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue I.
Mose akamwambia Bwana, “Ee Bwana, kamwe sijapata kuwa msemaji kwa ufasaha wakati uliopita wala tangu ulipoanza kuzungumza na mtumishi wako. Ulimi wangu ni mzito kuzungumza.”
11 And he said Yahweh to him who? did he make a mouth of person or who? does he make dumb or deaf or seeing or blind ¿ not [do] I Yahweh.
Bwana akamwambia, “Ni nani aliyempa mwanadamu kinywa? Ni nani aliyemfanya mtu kuwa kiziwi au bubu? Ni nani anayempa mtu kuona au upofu? Je, si mimi, Bwana?
12 And therefore go and I I will be with mouth your and I will teach you [that] which you will say.
Sasa nenda, nitakusaidia kusema, nami nitakufundisha jambo la kusema.”
13 And he said pardon me O Lord send please by [the] hand of [whoever] you will send.
Lakini Mose akasema, “Ee Bwana, tafadhali mtume mtu mwingine kufanya kazi hiyo.”
14 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Moses and he said ¿ not [is] Aaron brother your the Levite I know that well he speaks he and also there! he [is] coming out to meet you and he will see you and he will be glad in heart his.
Ndipo hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi ya Mose, akamwambia, “Vipi kuhusu ndugu yako, Aroni Mlawi? Ninajua yeye anaweza kuzungumza vizuri. Naye yuko tayari njiani kukulaki, na moyo wake utafurahi wakati atakapokuona.
15 And you will speak to him and you will put the words in mouth his and I I will be with mouth your and with mouth his and I will teach you [that] which you will do!
Utazungumza naye na kuweka maneno kinywani mwake. Nitawasaidia ninyi wawili kusema, nami nitawafundisha jambo la kufanya.
16 And he will speak he for you to the people and it will be he he will become of you a mouth and you you will become of him a god.
Aroni ataongea na watu badala yako na itakuwa kwamba yeye amekuwa kinywa chako nawe utakuwa kama Mungu kwake.
17 And the staff this you will take in hand your which you will do with it the signs.
Lakini chukua fimbo hii mkononi mwako ili uweze kuitumia kufanya ishara hizo za ajabu.”
18 And he went Moses and he returned - to Jethro father-in-law his and he said to him let me go please so I may return to relatives my who [are] in Egypt so I may see ¿ [are] still they living and he said Jethro to Moses go to peace.
Kisha Mose akarudi kwa Yethro mkwewe akamwambia, “Niruhusu nirudi kwa watu wangu Misri kuona kama yuko hata mmoja wao ambaye bado anaishi.” Yethro akamwambia, “Nenda, nami nakutakia mema.”
19 And he said Yahweh to Moses in Midian go return Egypt for they have died all the men who sought life your.
Basi Bwana alikuwa amemwambia Mose huko Midiani, “Rudi Misri kwa maana watu wote waliotaka kukuua wamekufa.”
20 And he took Moses wife his and sons his and he made ride them on the donkey and he returned [the] land of towards Egypt and he took Moses [the] staff of God in hand his.
Basi Mose akamchukua mkewe na wanawe, akawapandisha juu ya punda na kuanza safari kurudi Misri. Naye akaichukua ile fimbo ya Mungu mkononi mwake.
21 And he said Yahweh to Moses when going you to return Egypt towards see all the wonders which I have put in hand your and you will do them before Pharaoh and I I will make strong heart his and not he will let go the people.
Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Utakaporudi Misri, hakikisha kwamba utafanya mbele ya Farao maajabu yote niliyokupa uwezo wa kuyafanya. Lakini nitafanya moyo wake kuwa mgumu ili kwamba asiwaruhusu watu waende.
22 And you will say to Pharaoh thus he says Yahweh [is] son my firstborn my Israel.
Kisha mwambie Farao, ‘Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: Israeli ni mwanangu mzaliwa wa kwanza,
23 And I said to you let go son my so he may serve me and you refused to let go him here! I [am] about to kill son your firstborn your.
nami nilikuambia, “Ruhusu mwanangu aondoke, ili aweze kuniabudu mimi.” Lakini ukakataa kumruhusu kwenda, basi nitaua mwana wako mzaliwa wa kwanza.’”
24 And it was on the journey at the lodging place and he met him Yahweh and he sought to kill him.
Mose alipokuwa mahali pa kulala wageni akiwa njiani kurudi Misri, Bwana akakutana naye, akataka kumuua.
25 And she took Zipporah a flint and she cut off [the] foreskin of son her and she made [it] touch feet his and she said that [are] a bridegroom of blood you to me.
Lakini Sipora akachukua jiwe gumu, akakata govi la mwanawe na kugusa nalo miguu ya Mose. Sipora akasema, “Hakika wewe ni bwana arusi wa damu kwangu.”
26 And he withdrew from him then she said a bridegroom of blood to the circumcision.
Sipora alipomwita Mose, “Bwana arusi wa damu,” alikuwa anamaanisha ile tohara. Baada ya hayo Bwana akamwacha.
27 And he said Yahweh to Aaron go to meet Moses the wilderness towards and he went and he met him at [the] mountain of God and he kissed him.
Bwana akamwambia Aroni, “Nenda jangwani ukamlaki Mose.” Basi akakutana na Mose kwenye mlima wa Mungu, akambusu.
28 And he told Moses to Aaron all [the] words of Yahweh which he had sent him and all the signs which he had commanded him.
Kisha Mose akamwambia Aroni kila kitu Bwana alichomtuma kusema, vilevile habari za ishara na maajabu alizokuwa amemwamuru kufanya.
29 And he went Moses and Aaron and they gathered all [the] elders of [the] people of Israel.
Mose na Aroni wakawakusanya wazee wote wa Waisraeli,
30 And he spoke Aaron all the words which he had spoken Yahweh to Moses and he did the signs to [the] eyes of the people.
naye Aroni akawaambia kila kitu Bwana alichokuwa amemwambia Mose. Pia akafanya ishara mbele ya watu,
31 And it believed the people and they heard that he had observed Yahweh [the] people of Israel and that he had seen affliction their and they bowed low and they bowed down.
nao wakaamini. Nao waliposikia kuwa Bwana anajishughulisha nao, na kwamba ameona mateso yao, walisujudu na kuabudu.
