Exodus 4
1 Moses/I replied, “But what if [the Israeli people] (do not believe me/are not convinced) or not do what I tell them? What if they say, ‘Yahweh did not appear to you!’”
Mosese'a Ra Anumzamofo kenona hunteno, Ke'niama antahi onamige, zamentintima osanageno'a nankna hugahie? Na'ankure zamagra amanage hu'za Kagrikura hugahaze. Ra Anumzamo'a kagritera efore osu'ne hugahaze.
2 Yahweh said to him/me, “[Look at] that thing you are holding in your hand. What is it?” He/I replied, “A (walking stick/shepherd’s stick).”
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno antahige'ne, Na'a kazampina me'ne? huno antahigegeno Mosese'a azompani'e higeno,
3 He said, “Throw it down on the ground!” So, he/I threw it on the ground, and it became a snake! And he/I ran/jumped away from it.
Ana azompa mopafi atro, higeno Mosese'a mopafi atregeno, ana azompamo'a osifave fore higeno, Mosese'a atreno kore fre'ne.
4 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach down and pick it up by its tail!” So he/I reached down and caught it, and [when he/I picked it up], it became a stick in his/my hand [again.]
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a anage huno Mosesena asami'ne, Kazana antenka risonare azeri sga huo, higeno Mosese'a aza antegantuteno risonare azeri sga higeno, ete azompa fore hu'ne.
5 Yahweh said, “[Do the same thing in front of the Israeli people], in order that they may believe that [I], Yahweh God, the one Abraham and Isaac and Jacob worshiped, truly appeared to you.”
Anumzamo asmino, e'inahu'za fore hanige'za, Ra Anumzana nezmafa Abrahamu Anumzane, Aisaki Anumzane Jekopu Anumzamo kagrite efore hu'ne hu'za zamentinti hugahaze.
6 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again, saying “Put your hand inside your robe [MTY]!” He/I did that. And when he/I took it out again, [surprisingly], his/my hand was white. It had a skin disease [that made it] as white as snow.
Mago'ane Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Hagi menina nakre kuka'afi kazana vazio, higeno Mosese'a azana nekre ku'afi vaziteno erizafigeno, leprosi namumo ana azampina fore huno efenentake hu'ne.
7 Then God said, “Put your hand back inside your robe [MTY]!” So he/I did that, and when he/I took it out again, surprisingly, it was normal again, just like the rest of his/my body!
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Hagi menina ana nakre kuka'afi kazana ete vazio, higeno Mosese'a ana azana ana nakre ku'afi eteno vaziteno erizafigeno, ana leprosi namuna fanane huno avufgamo'a knare huno ruga'a avufga'mo'ma me'neaza hu'ne.
8 God said, “[You can do that in front of the Israeli people, too]. If they do not pay attention to what you say because of [seeing] the first miracle, they will (believe [you/be convinced) when you perform] the second miracle.
Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesenkura anage huno asami'ne, Zamagrama kota avame'zamofonku'ma zamentinti osuge, antahi ogamisagenka, henka avame'za hnanke'za negesu'za zamentinti hugahaze.
9 If they do not believe you or do what you say, even [after you perform] those two miracles, get some water from the Nile [River] and pour it on the ground. [When you do that], the water from the river that you pour on the ground will become blood [MTY] (OR, [red like] blood).”
Hu'neanagi tare avame'zamofonte'ma nege'za zamentinti nosu'za keka'a ontahisnagenka, Naeli timpinti mago'a tina afinka hagege mopafi tagi tro. E'ina'ma hanankeno'a ana timo'a hagege mopafina kora fore hugahie.
10 Moses/I replied, “O Yahweh! I am not an eloquent [speaker]! I was not an eloquent speaker before, and I have not become one since you started talking to me! I am not a good speaker [MTY], and I speak very slowly.”
Mosese'a Ra Anumzamofona amanage huno asmi'ne, Muse hugantoanki Ra Anumzamoka nagra kea huso'e nosu'na, korapa anahu hu'na mani'na e'noe. Meninena nagrane kegaga hananagi nagefu'namo'a kema huzampina knarera osige'na, kea hu so'e nosue.
11 Then Yahweh said to him/me, “[You seem to forget] who it is that makes people able to speak [RHQ]! Who is it that enables people to be unable to speak or unable to hear, or able to see or not to see? It is I, Yahweh [RHQ]!
Ra Anumzamo'a kenona huno, Iza vahe zamagira tro huzmante'ne? Iza ke osu vahero, zamagesa ankanire vahero, zamavu knarehu vahero, zamavu suhu vahera zamazeri nese? Nagra Ra Anumzamo'na e'inara hunezmantoe.
12 So start going [to Egypt], and I will help you to speak [MTY], and I will tell you what you should say.”
E'ina hu'negu menina kagra vuge'na, Nagra kagrane mani'nena, kema hnana kea hugasmisnugenka hugahane.
13 But he/I replied, “O, Yahweh, I ask you, please send someone else [instead]!”
Hianagi Mosese'a amanage huno ke'nona hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka muse hugantoanki mago'a vahe huzmanto.
14 Then Yahweh became very angry with Moses/me. He said, “[What about] your [older] brother Aaron, who is [also] a descendant of Levi? I know that he is a very good/eloquent speaker. He is actually on his way here [right now], and he will be very happy to see you.
Anante Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena rimpahenteno anage hu'ne, Anantega negafu Livae nera Aroni'a omaninefi? Nagra antahi'noankino agra knare zantfa huno kea hugahie. Hanki agra kantega eme tutagiha hugantenaku ne-eankino, eme kagesuno'a agu'areti huno musena hugantegahie.
15 You can talk to him and tell him what to say [MTY], and I will help both of you [SYN] to know what to say [MTY]. And I will tell you both what you should do.
Emema kagesnigenka, kema hania kea retro humige'na, Nagrani'a kagri kagite'ene agri agite'enena mani'nena inankna kea hugaha'e, rempi huranamisnugeta kea hugaha'e.
16 He will speak for you to the [Israeli] people. He will be (your spokesman/as though he was your mouth) [MET], and you will be to him as though you are [his] god.
Aroni'a kagri kagi erino vahe'ma kema zmasami vahe mani'nigenka, kagra Anumzankna hunka agritera mani'nenka vahe'ma zmasamisia kea asamigahane.
17 [Be sure] to take with you the walking/shepherd’s stick [that is in your hand], because you will perform miracles with it.”
Hagi menina kagra kama vanohu azompa ka'a, avame'zama erifore'ma hananku erio.
18 Moses/I returned to his/my father-in-law Jethro and said to him, “Please let me go back to Egypt, to see my fellow Israelis there. I want to know if they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses/me, “Go, and may [God give you inner] peace.”
Anantetira Mosese'a atreno nenemo ne' Jetronte vuno amanage hu'ne, Muse hugantoanki natrege'na ete Isipima mani'naza nafu nganaheintega vu'na, ofri mani'nazo ome zamaga'neno, higeno Jetro'a krimpa frune vuo huno hunte'ne.
19 Yahweh said to Moses/me [before he/I left] Midian, “You can [safely] return to Egypt, because the men who were wanting to kill you [MTY] are [now] dead.”
Mosese'a Midiani kumate mani'negeno Ra Anumzamo anage huno asmi'ne, Etenka Isipi vuo, na'ankure kahe fri'nakurema hu'naza vahe'mo'za ko' fri'naze.
20 So Moses/I took his/my wife and sons and put them on donkeys, and they/we returned to Egypt. And Moses/I took in his/my hand the stick that God [told him/me to take along].
Anage higeno, Mosese'a tare mofavre'ane nenarone zamavreno donki afu'mofo agofetu nezmanteno, Anumzamofo azompa'a azampi azerige'za Isipi vunaku vu'naze.
21 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “When you return to Egypt, be sure to perform all the miracles that I have given you power [to do], while the king is watching. But I will make him stubborn [IDM], with the result that he will not let the Israeli people leave [Egypt].
Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena anage huno asmi'ne, Isipima ete uhanatisunka, kaguvazama erifore huogu'ma hankvema kami'noa hanavereti Fero avuga maka kaguvazana erifore huo. Hu'neanagi Nagra arimpa azeri hankvetisugeno Israeli vahera zmatresnige'za ovugahaze.
22 Then say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says: “The Israeli [people] [MTY] are [as dear to] me as firstborn sons [MET].
Kagra anage hunka Ferona asamio, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Israeli vahera kota ne' mofavre'ni'e.
23 I told you to let my people [MTY] leave [Egypt], in order that they may worship me [in the desert]. If you refuse to let them go, I warn you, I will kill your firstborn son!”’”
E'ina hu'negu Nagra anage hu'na kasami'noe, Israeli vahera zmatrege'za vu'za monora ome hunanteho. Hianagi kagra ke'ni'a ontahinka zmatranke'za ovu'nazagu, antahio, Nagra kota ne' mofavreka'a ahe frigahue!
24 [One night], as they were camping on the way [to Egypt], Yahweh appeared to Moses/me. He wanted/threatened to kill Moses/me [for disobeying his command that boys/sons be circumcised].
Mosese'ene naga'amo'za Isipi vunaku karanka nevu'za hani hige'za masenaku hazare, Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena emegeno ahe frinaku hu'ne.
25 Then [his/my wife] Zipporah took a flint knife and circumcised her son. Then she touched the boy’s feet (OR, genitals) with the piece of skin [she had cut off], and she said, “The blood [which flowed when I circumcised you] will protect you [from being harmed by Yahweh] [MET].”
Hianagi anante Zipora'a mago asne'nea have kazi erino, nemofo oku avufamofo anoma'a taga huno, Mosese agiafi ome netreno anage hu'ne, kagra tamagerfa hunka nagritera kora eri tagi nenavega mani'nane hu'ne.
26 She said to him, “You are safe now [MET] because you have been circumcised.” So Yahweh did not harm her son.
Ana higeno Ra Anumzamo'a Mosesena ahe ofrigeno, Zipora'a amanage hu'ne, kora eri tagine'moka nenavezana hu'nane, na'ankure ne' mofavre'amofo oku avufga anoma'a taga hu'neazanku hu'ne. (Jen-Agf 17: 9-14).
27 Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go into the desert to meet/see Moses!” So he went [there from Egypt] and met him/me at [Sinai], the mountain dedicated to God, and [greeted him/me by] kissing him/me [on the cheek].
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a Aronina asmino, Ka'ma moparega vunka Mosesena omego, higeno Aronia vuno Anumzamofo agonare Mosesena omegeno agi antako nehuno, azeri frufra hu'ne.
28 Moses/I told Aaron everything that Yahweh had said to him/me when he told him/me to return to Egypt. He/I also told Aaron about all the miracles that Yahweh told him/me to perform.
Ra Anumzamo'ma maka kema Mosesema nesamino, avame'zantmima huvenerino, ana avame zantmima omeri fore huo huno'ma hunte'nea kante anteno, ana maka kene avame'zanena Aronina asami'ne.
29 [So Aaron and Moses/I] returned [to Egypt]. There they/we gathered together all the Israeli elders/leaders.
Anante Mosese'ene Aronikea vuke maka Israeli vahe'mokizmi kva vahetmina ome zamazeri atru hu'na'e.
30 Aaron told them everything that Yahweh had told Moses/me, and Aaron performed [all] the miracles as the people watched.
Anante Aroni'a Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema asmi'nea kea ana maka Israeli vahe'mokizmi nezmasamino, avame'zantamina zamavurera erifore hu'ne.
31 They believed [that what they/we were saying was true]. When they heard that Yahweh had seen how the Israeli people were being cruelly oppressed and that he was going to help them, they bowed down and worshiped [Yahweh].
Israeli vahe'mo'za zamentinti nehu'za, Isipima zamazeri havizama hu'naza zama Anumzamo antahino keno'ma hu'nea nanekema Aroni'ma zamasamige'za nentahi'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za kepri hu'za Anumzamofo mono hunte'naze.
