Exodus 6
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Tsopano udzaona zimene ndimuchite Farao: Chifukwa cha dzanja langa lamphamvu adzalola anthu anga kuti atuluke. Chifukwa cha dzanja langa lamphamvu adzawatulutsa mʼdziko lake.”
2 God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
Mulungu anatinso kwa Mose, “Ine ndine Yehova.
3 I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].
Ndinaonekera kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isake ndi kwa Yakobo monga Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, koma sindinawadziwitse dzina langa kuti ndine Yehova.
4 I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which they were living as foreigners.
Ndinakhazikitsa pangano langa ndi iwo kuwalonjeza kuti ndidzawapatsa dziko la Kanaani kumene anakhalako kale ngati alendo.
5 Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].
Ndamvanso kubuwula kwa Aisraeli, amene Aigupto awayesa akapolo ndipo ndakumbukira pangano langa.”
6 So tell the Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.
“Nʼchifukwa chake nena kwa Aisraeli kuti, ‘Ine ndine Yehova, ndipo ndidzakutulutsani mʼgoli la Aigupto. Ndidzakumasulani mu ukapolo, ndidzakuwombolani ndi dzanja langa lotambasuka ndi kuchita ntchito zachiweruzo.
7 I will cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.
Ndidzakutengani kukhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu amene ndinakutulutsani mʼgoli la Aigupto.
8 And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”
Ndipo ndidzakufikitsani ku dziko limene ndinalumbira kuti ndidzalipereka kwa Abrahamu, kwa Isake ndi kwa Yakobo. Ndidzakupatsani dziko limenelo kuti likhale lanu. Ine ndine Yehova.’”
9 Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].
Mose anawafotokozera Aisraeli zimenezi, koma iwo sanamumvere chifukwa cha kukhumudwa ndi goli lankhanza.
10 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Mose,
11 “Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
“Pita ukawuze Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti awalole Aisraeli atuluke mʼdziko lake.”
12 But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]
Koma Mose ananena kwa Yehova kuti, “Ngati Aisraeli sanandimvere, Farao akandimvera chifukwa chiyani, pajatu sinditha kuyankhula bwino?”
13 But Yahweh spoke to Aaron and Moses/me and commanded them/us, “Tell the Israeli people and the king of Egypt that I have [commissioned you two] to lead the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
Ndipo Yehova analamula Mose ndi Aaroni kuti awuze Aisraeli ndi Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti Aisraeli ayenera kutuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
14 (Here is/I will now give you) a list of the ancestors of [Moses/me and Aaron]: The sons of Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, [were] Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. They were [ancestors of] the clans [that have those same names].
Atsogoleri a mafuko awo anali awa: Ana a Rubeni mwana wachisamba wa Israeli anali Hanoki, Palu, Hezironi ndi Karimi. Awa anali mafuko a Rubeni.
15 The sons of Simeon [were] Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul. Shaul’s mother was a woman from the Canaan people-group. Those men also were [ancestors of] clans [that have those same names].
Ana a Simeoni anali Yemueli, Yamini, Ohadi, Yakini, Zohari ndi Saulo mwana wa kwa mkazi wa Chikanaani. Awa anali mafuko a Simeoni.
16 These are the names of the sons of Levi, in the order in which they were born: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi was 137 years old [when he died].
Mayina a ana a Levi pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zawo anali awa: Geresoni, Kohati ndi Merari. Levi anakhala ndi moyo kwa zaka 137.

19 The sons of Merari [were] Mahli and Mushi. All of those people whose names [I have listed] belonged to tribes/clans descended from Levi, in the order in which they were born.
Ana a Merari anali Mali ndi Musi. Awa anali mafuko a Levi monga mwa mibado yawo.
20 Amram married his father’s sister, Jochebed. She was the mother of Aaron and Moses/me. Amram was 137 years old [when he died].
Amramu anakwatira Yokobedi mlongo wa abambo ake, amene anabereka Aaroni ndi Mose. Amramu anakhala ndi moyo kwa zaka 137.

25 Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she gave birth to Phinehas. [That ends the list of] the families and clans that were descended from Levi.
Eliezara mwana wa Aaroni anakwatira mmodzi mwa ana aakazi a Putieli, ndipo anabereka Finehasi. Awa anali atsogoleri a mabanja a Levi, monga mwa mafuko awo.
26 Aaron and Moses/I were the ones to whom Yahweh said, “Lead all the families and clans of the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
Aaroni ndi Mose ndi aja amene Yehova anawawuza kuti, “Tulutsani Aisraeli mu Igupto mʼmagulu awo.”
27 They/We were the ones who spoke to the king of Egypt about bringing the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Mose ndi Aaroni ndiwo amene anayankhula ndi Farao mfumu ya Igupto kuti atulutse Aisraeli mu Igupto.
28 On the day that Yahweh spoke to Moses/me in Egypt,
Tsopano pamene Yehova anayankhula kwa Mose mu Igupto,
29 he said, “I am Yahweh. You must tell the king everything that I say to you.”
anati, “Ine ndine Yehova. Umuwuze Farao mfumu ya Igupto zonse zimene Ine ndikuwuze iwe.”
30 But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen to me. I am not a good speaker. [MET, MTY] So (the king will certainly not pay attention to what I say/why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?)!” [RHQ]
Koma Mose anati kwa Yehova, “Farao akandimvera bwanji, pakuti ine sinditha kuyankhula bwino?”
