< 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).
Mosese'a nenemo, Jetro Midiani pristi ne'mofo sipisipi afu tamine meme afutami kva nehiankino, mago zupa, ana sipisipi afutamine meme afutami zamavareno ka'ma mopamofona mago kaziga asoparega afete vuno Anumzamofo agona, Horepi mago agi'a Sainaie nehaza agonare uhanati'ne.
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.
Anante Anumzamofo ankeromo'a, mago zafafina tevemo hagana hagana huno nerefi efore higeno, Mosese'ma keana tevemo'a hagana hagana huno te'neanagi, ana zafa tevea ore'ne.
3 Moses/I thought, “I will go closer and try to see this strange sight! Why is the bush not burning up?”
Ana higeno Mosese'a amanage huno hu'ne, Ruzahu'za huno zafa tevea oreanki, anante vu'na ome kesue nehuno vu'ne.
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.”
Hagi Anumzamo'ma kegeno Mosese'ma kenaku vutava'o nehigeno'a, ana zafafinti Anumzamo'a kezatino, Mosesewe! Mosesewe! higeno Mosese'a ama mani'noe higeno,
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].”
Anumzamo'a asmino, Mago'anena eravao osunka, kagia anona kazufe atro, na'ankure menima oti'nana mopamo'a ruotage hu'nea mopare oti'nane.
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.
Anante mago'ane Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra kafahe'i Anumzane, Abrahamu Anumzane, Aisaki Anumzane Jekopu Anumza mani'noe, huno higeno Mosese'a Anumzamofoma ke'zanku koro huno avugosa refite'ne.
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.
Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, tamage hu'na Isipi kumapi'ma vahe'niamo'zama mani'ne'za zmatazama e'neri'za zana, hago Nagra nege'na, zavi krafama hazana antahi'noe. Na'ankure kazokzo eri'za kva vahe zami'mo'za, zmatazama zamizazana ke'na antahi'na hu'noe.
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].
E'ina hu'negu, Nagra erami'na Isipi vahe hanavefinti zamavre fegu'a zmatre'na, masavenke huno knare zantfa hu'nea mopama, kaomofo amirine tumerimo'ma avi'mate'nea mopa Kenani vahe mopama, Hiti vahe mopama Amori vahe mopama Perisi vahe mopama, Hivi vahe mopama Jebusi vahe mopa, ra mopa zamigahue.
9 Truly I have now heard my Israeli people crying [PRS]. I have seen how the Egyptians oppress them.
Menina antahio, Israeli vahe'mokizmi zavira nentahi'na, Isipi ma zamazeri havizama haza zana hago ke'na antahi'na hu'noe.
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.”
E'ina hu'negu menina ege'na huganta'nenkenka Feronte vunka, Israeli vahe'ni'a, Isipi kumapintira zmavrenka atiramigahane.
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]
Hianagi Mosese'a amanage huno Anumzamofona asmi'ne, Nagra iza'na Ferontera vu'na Isipitira, Israeli vahera zamavare'na atiramigahue?
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].”
Anumzamo'a anage hu'ne, Nagra tamage hu'na kagrane manigahue. Nagrama Israeli vahe zmavrenka atiramiogu'ma hugantoa zamofo avame'zana, Israeli vahe'ma Isipiti'ma ome zmavrenka atiramisunka, Nagrira monora ama agonare eme hunantegahaze.
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?”
Anante Mosese'a amanage huno Anumzamofona asmi'ne, Antahio, nagrama Israeli vahetegama vu'na, anage hu'na ome zmasamigahue, tamafahe'i Anumzamo tamagritega hunantege'na oema hanuge'zama nantahige'za, agi'a iza'ema hanage'na? na'ane hu'na zamasamigahue?
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.”
Higeno Anumzamo'a amanage huno Mosesena asmi'ne, Nagra mani vava nehumo'na Nagrake Mani'noe, kagra amanage hunka Israeli vahera ome zamasamio, Nagre nehia ne'mo, hunantege'na tamagritega oe hunka huo.
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.
Mago'ane Anumzamo'a Mosesena asmino, Israeli vahera amanage hunka ome zamasamio, Ra Anumzamo'na tamafahe'i Abrahamu Anumzane, Aisaki Anumzane, Jekopu Anumzamo'a tamagritega hunantege'na oe. Ama'i nagimo'a mevava hanigeno, henkama fore'ma hanaza vahe'mo'za ama ana nagimofona ahentesga hu'za antahinami vava hugahaze.
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.
Israeli kva vahera ome zamazeri tru hunka zmasmio, Ra Anumzamo'a tamafahe'i Anumzane, Abrahamune Aisakine Jekopune Anumzamo efore huno amanage huno nasami'ne, Nagra tamage hu'na tamagrikura nentahi'na, Isipi vahe'mo'zama hurmantaza zana ke'noe.
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].”’
Ana hu'negu Nagra huvempa hu'noa ke amage ante'na Isipi kumapima mani havizama hu'nazafinti tamavre fegu'ate'na tamavre'na Keneni vahe'ma, Hiti vahe'ma, Amori vahe'ene, Perisi vahe'ma, Hivi vahe'ma Jebusi vahe'mokizmi mopa masevenke huno knare zanfta hu'negeno, kaomofo amirimo'ene tumerimo avite'nea mopafi tamavreno vugahie hunka ome zamasamio.
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.’
Kema hananana, Israeli kva vahe'mo'za ke ka'a antahigahaze. E'ina hnageta kagra Israeli kva vahe zamavrenka Isipi rankva nete vuta amanage huta asamiho, Ra Anumzana Hibru vahe'mokizmi Anumzamo tagrite eama hu'ne. Hagi muse hugantonanki knare tatrenanketa tagufa zagegnafina ka'ma kopina vuta Ra Anumzatimofontega ofa ome kre sramana vuntamaneno hutma asamiho.
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].
Hianagi Nagra antahi'noe, Isipi kini ne'mo'a tamatresnigeta ovugosaze. Hagi mago hankvenentake azamo'ma ha'ma rentesnigeno'a tmatresnigeta vugahaze.
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.
E'inama hanige'na Nagra nazana erisga hu'na maka ruzahu ruzahu kaguvazana eri fore amu'no zamifina ha'nenke'za, tamatresnigeta vugahaze.
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).
Nagra Isipi vahe zamufina rantamagi taminenketa Isipi vahe'ma zamatreta, vanuta amne tamavapara ovugahaze.
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.”
Hu'neanagi maka Israeli a'nemo'za no magote nemanisnaza a'nanene no zamifi nemsesnaza a'ne'mokizmia silvane golire'ma tro'ma hu'nesaza zantamine, kukenagu enena zmantahigesage'za tamisagetma, ne' mofatmimofona eri hankre zmanteho. E'inama hanutma Isipi vahe'mofona knare fenozazamia eri hana hutma vugahaze.
