Exodus 3
1 Moses/I was taking care of the sheep that belonged to his/my father-in-law Jethro, the priest of the Midian [people]. He/I led the flock across the desert and came to Horeb, [the mountain that was later called Sinai], the (mountain that [had been dedicated to] God/taboo mountain).
Eso afaega, Mousese da Yedelou (Midia: ne gobele salasu dunu) amo ea sibi amola goudi ouligisa esalu. E da amo lai gebo gilisisu wadela: i hafoga: i soge amoga oule asili, hadigi goumi amo Sainai, amoga doaga: i.
2 [One day] Yahweh (appeared/revealed himself) to him/me, [looking like] an angel. The angel appeared in a flame of fire in the middle of a bush [that was burning]. Moses/I looked at it, and he/I was surprised that the bush was burning, but it was not burning up.
Amogai, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da lalu gona: su agoane hamoi, ifa fonobahadi ganodini dialebe ba: i. Mousese da amo ifa laluga nenanu be hame nei dagoi ba: i.
3 Moses/I thought, “I will go closer and try to see this strange sight! Why is the bush not burning up?”
E da fofogadigili amane dawa: i “Amo ifa laluga nenanebe abuliba: le nei dagoi hame ba: sala: ? Na da gadenene ba: la masunu.”
4 When Yahweh saw that he/I had come closer, he called to Moses/me from the middle of the bush, saying, “Moses! Moses!” He/I replied, “[Yes], here I am.”
Hina Gode da Mousese gadenene manebe ba: loba, E da ifa fonobahadi amo ganodini lelu, amoga amane sia: i, “Mousese! Mousese!” Mousese da bu adole i, “Na da wea!”
5 Yahweh said, “Do not come closer! [Because I am God], the ground on which you are standing is holy/taboo. So take off your sandals [to show respect to me].”
Gode amane sia: i “Bu gadenene mae misa. Dia emo salasu fadegama. Bai di da hadigi osobo amo da: iya lela.
6 Then he said, “I am God, whom your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [worshiped].” So Moses/I covered his/my face, because he/I was afraid [that God would kill him/me] if he/I looked at him.
Na da dia aowalali amo A: ibalaha: me, Aisage amola Ya: igobe ilia Gode esala.” Amaiba: le, Mousese da Gode Ea odagi ba: mu bagade beda: iba: le, ea odagi dedeboi.
7 Then Yahweh said, “I have seen how cruelly [they are treating] my people in Egypt. I have heard them (wailing/crying out) [for help] because of what the slave-drivers [are forcing them to do]. I know how my people are suffering.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da amane sia: i, “Idibidi dunu da mae asigili Na fi dunuma gasa fi hamonana, amo Na da ba: i dagoi. Ilia da ilia hame asigi udigili hawa: hamosu ouligisu dunu iliba: le gaga: ma: ne Nama wesu, Na da nabi dagoi. Na da ilia se nabasu huluane dawa:
8 So I have come down [from heaven] to rescue them from the Egyptians [SYN]. I have come to bring them up from that land [to the highlands in Canaan]. I will bring them to a land that is good/fertile and that has plenty of space. It will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [MTY]. It is the land where the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus [live].
Amaiba: le, Na da ili Idibidi dunuma gaga: musa: misi dagoi. Na da Na fi amo Idibidi soge ganodini esala amo fisili masa: ne gadili hiougili, soge bagade noga: idafa amoga asunasimu. Amo soge ganodini wali dunu fi esala da Ga: ina: ne dunu fi, Hidaide dunu, A:moulaide, Belesaide, Haifaide amola Yebusaide, amo fi esala.
9 Truly I have now heard my Israeli people crying [PRS]. I have seen how the Egyptians oppress them.
Na da dafawane Na fi ilia dinana wele sia: be nabi dagoi. Amola Idibidi fi da ilima banenesili hamonana Na da ba: i dagoi.
10 So you go [back] to Egypt. I am sending you to the king, in order that [he may permit] you to bring my people, the Israeli people, out of Egypt.”
Na da wali di Felouma asunasimu. Bai di da Na fi bisili Idibidi soge fisili masa: ne gadili oule masunu.
11 But Moses/I replied, “I am not a well-known person [RHQ]! (I cannot go to the king and [ask him to permit me] to bring the Israeli people out of Egypt!/How can I go to the king and [ask him to allow me to] bring the Israeli people out of Egypt?)” [RHQ]
Be Mousese da Godema amane sia: i, “Na da hamedei dunu agoane. Na da habodane Felouma asili Isala: ili dunu Idibidi sogega gadili oule masa: bela: ?
12 God replied, “I will be with you. And when you bring [my] people out of Egypt, all of you will worship me [right] here on this mountain. That will prove that I am the one who sent you [to them].”
Gode da bu adole i, “Na ani esalumu. Di da Na fi dunu Idibidi sogega gadili oule asili, di da guiguda: goumia Nama nodone sia: ne gadomu. Amo hou da Nisu da di asunasi dagoi dawa: digima: ne olelesu dialebe ba: mu.”
13 Moses/I said to God, “If I go to the Israeli people and say to them, ‘God, the one your ancestors [worshiped], has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’, what shall I say to them?”
Be Mousese da bu adole i, “Na da Isala: ili dunu ilima ahoasea amola ilima amane sia: sea, ‘Ninia aowalalia Gode da na asunasi,’ ilia da nama amane adole ba: mu, ‘Ea Dio da nowala: ?’ Amaiba: le, na da ilima adi adole ima: bela: ?”
14 God replied, “I AM who I AM.” And he said, “Tell the Israeli people that the one who is [named] ‘I AM’ has sent me to you.”
Gode da amane sia: i. “Na da Nisu Esala amola Esalu amola Esalumu. Di Isala: ili dunuma adoma, Dunu Ea Dio da “Na da Na” (dawa: loma: ne da “Na da Esala amola Esalu amola Esalumu”) E da na dilima asunasi dagoi.” Amola Gode da eno amane sia: i,
15 God also said to Moses/me, “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘Yahweh God, the one your ancestors [worshiped], the one that Abraham and Isaac and Jacob [worshiped], has sent me to you.’ This name, [Yahweh], will be my name forever. That is the name that [people in] all future generations [must use when they talk about/to] me.
“Ilima amane adoma, ‘Na, Hina Gode, ilia aowalalia Gode, A:ibalaha: me, Aisage amola Ya: igobe ilia Gode, da di ilima asunasi dagoi. Amo da Na Dio eso huluane mae fisili dialumu. Iligaga fi huluane fa: no lalelegesea da amo Dio Nama sia: mu.
16 Go [to Egypt] and gather together the elders/leaders of the Israeli people, and say to them, ‘Yahweh God, the one your ancestors [worshiped], the one Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [worshiped], appeared to me. He said to him/me, “I have been watching closely what the Egyptian people have done to you.
Masa! Isala: ili dunu fi ouligisu dunu huluane gilisima. Ilima amo Na, Hina Gode, ilia aowalalia Gode, A:ibalaha: me, Aisage amola Ya: igobe ilia Gode, da dima misi dagoi, amo adoma. Ilima amane adoma, Na da ilima misini amola Idibidi fi ilima banenesisu hamosu huluane Na da ba: i dagoi.
17 I promise that I will rescue you from being oppressed in Egypt, and [I will take you] to the land where the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus [live]. It is a land good for raising livestock and growing crops [MTY].”’
Na da ili Idibidi soge ganodini se nabawane esala, amoga fisili masa: ne gadili hiougimu. Amasea, Na da soge noga: idafa, fedege agoane amo ganodini dodo maga: me amola agime hano da hano agoane a: i ahoa, (amo ganodini wali Ga: ina: ne dunu, Hidaide dunu, A:moulaide dunu, Belesaide dunu, Haifaide dunu amola Yebusaide dunu wali amogai esala), amo sogega Na da Isala: ili dunu fi oule masunu.
18 My people will do what you say. Then you and their leaders must go to the king of Egypt, and you must say to him, ‘Yahweh, who is God, the one we Hebrews [worship], has revealed himself to us. So now we ask you to allow us to travel for three days to [a place in] the desert, in order that there we may offer sacrifices to Yahweh, our God.’
Na fi dunu da dia sia: nabimu. Amasea, di da Isala: ili fi ouligisu dunu amo Felouma oule masa. Ema amane sia: ma, ‘Hina Gode, Hibulu dunu ilia Gode, da ninima misi dagoi. Di wali ninia logo doasima. Ninia da wadela: i hafoga: i soge, amoga eso udiana ahoasea, ninia Hina Godema gobele salasu hou hamomusa: gini masunu galebe.
19 But I know that the king of Egypt will allow you to go only if he realizes I am [more] powerful [MTY] [than he is].
Be Idibidi hina bagade (Felou) da dilia logo hame doasimu. Na da ema gasa bagade logebeba: le fawane e da dilia logo doasimu.
20 So I will use my power [MTY] to strike/punish [the people of] Egypt [MTY] by performing many miracles there. Then he will allow you to leave.
Amaiba: le, Na da Idibidi dunuma Na gasa bagade hou olelemu. Na da Idibidi fi ilima se bagade imunu. Musa: hame ba: i beda: su liligi ilima olelemu. Amasea, dilia ga masa: ne, e da dilia logo doasimu.
21 [When that happens], I will cause the people of Egypt to respect you. [The result will be that] when you leave Egypt, (you will not go empty-handed/they will give you many [valuable] things to take with you).
Na da hamobeba: le, Idibidi dunu da dilima nodomu. Amasea, Na fi dunu da gadili ahoasea, ilia da mae gaguiwane hame masunu.
22 [At that time], each [Israeli] woman will ask her [Egyptian] neighbors and each [Egyptian] woman who is living in her (OR, her neighbor’s) house to [give her] some silver and gold jewelry and some [nice] clothes. [Each Egyptian woman will give them some], and you will put them on your sons and daughters [to take with you]. In that way you will (take away/confiscate) the wealth of the Egyptian people.”
Be Isala: ili uda huluane da ilia Idibidi gadenene fi amola Idibidi uda ilia diasuganodini esala, amoma asili, abula, gouli amola silifa amo edegemusa: masunu. Amasea, amo liligi ilia da ilia dunu mano amola uda mano ilima imunu. Amasea, ilia da Idibidi ilia noga: i gagui liligi gadili gaguli masunu,” Gode da amane sia: i.
