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!”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Koro ibiro neno gino ma abiro timo ne Farao: Nikech bada man-gi teko, obiro weyogi mondo gidhi; kendo nikech tekona maduongʼ obiro riembogi mi gia e pinye.”
2 God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
Nyasaye bende nonyiso Musa kama, “An e Jehova Nyasaye.
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].
Ne afwenyora ne Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo kaka Nyasaye Maratego, to ne ok afwenyoranegi gi nyinga ma ungʼeyago ma en Jehova Nyasaye.
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.
Bende ne aguro singruokna kodgi ni anamigi piny Kanaan, kama negidakie kaka jodak.
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].
To bende asewinjo ngʼur, mar jo-Israel ma jo-Misri oseloko wasumbinigi mi aparo singruokna.
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.
“Emomiyo nyis jo-Israel kama: ‘An e Jehova Nyasaye kendo abiro golou e tije mapek ma jo-Misri oketo kuomu. Abiro miyo ubed thuolo e tij bedo wasumbini mag-gi kendo abiro resou kakumogi malit mondo awaru.
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.
Abiro kawou kaka joga awuon, bende abiro bedo Nyasachu eka ubiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu, manogolou ka uwuok e bwo tich matek mar jo-Misri.
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].’”
Kendo abiro kelou e piny mane akwongʼora ka atingʼo bada malo ni anami Ibrahim, Isaka kod Jakobo. Abiro miyougo kaka girkeni. An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”
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].
Musa nodwoko ni jo-Israel wechegi, to kata kamano ne ok giwinje nimar chunygi nonyosore nikech tich mapek mar bedo wasumbini.
10 Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nonyiso Musa niya,
11 “Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
“Dhiyo, inyis Farao ruodh jo-Misri mondo owe jo-Israel owuogi e pinye.”
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]
To Musa nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ka jo-Israel ema ok nyal winja, en angʼo manyalo miyo Farao winja mi dewa nimar an radwal?”
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.”
Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo gi Musa kod Harun kochikogi mondo gidhi ir Farao ruodh Misri, mondo gigol jo-Israel e piny Misri.
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].
Magi e jotelo mag anywolagi: Yawuot Reuben ma kach Israel ne gin: Hanok, Palu, Hezron kod Karmi. Mago e jo-Reuben.
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].
Yawuot Simeon ne gin: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar kod Shaul mane en wuod nyar ja-Kanaan. Mago e joka Simeon.
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].
Magi e nying joka Lawi kaluwore gi anywolagi: Gershon, Kohath gi Merari. (Lawi nodak kuom higni mia achiel gi piero adek gabiriyo.)
17 The sons of Gershon [were] Libni and Shimei. They were ancestors of clans that have those names.
Yawuot Gershon kaluwore gi dhoodgi ne gin: Libni kod Shimei.
18 The sons of Kohath [were] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath was 133 years old [when he died].
Yawuot Kohath ne gin: Amram, Izhar, Hebron kod Uziel. (Kohath nodak kuom higni mia achiel gi piero adek gadek.)
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.
Yawuot Merari ne gin: Mali kod Mushi. Magi ema ne dhout jo-Lawi kaluwore gi anywolagi.
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].
Amram wuod Kohath nokendo nyamin wuon-gi ma nyinge Jokebed, mane onywolone Harun kod Musa. (Amram nodak kuom higni mia achiel gi piero adek gabiriyo.)
21 The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.
Yawuot Izhar ne gin: Kora, Nefeg kod Zikri.
22 The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.
Yawuot Uziel ne gin: Mishael, Elzafan kod Sithri.
23 Aaron married Elisheba. She was the daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon. Elisheba gave birth to [four sons]: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Harun nokendo Elisheba nyar Aminadab ma bende nyamin Nashon, kendo nonywolone Nadab, Abihu, Eliazar kod Ithamar.
24 The sons of Korah [were] Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. They were the ancestors of the Korah people-group.
Yawuot Kora ne gin: Asir, Elkana kod Abiasaf. Magi ema ne dhout joka Kora.
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.
Eliazar wuod Harun nokendo achiel kuom nyi Putiel, kendo nonywolone Finehas. Magi ema ne jotend dhout joka Lawi.
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.”
Ma e Harun nogo kod Musa mane Jehova Nyasaye owachonegi niya, “Gol jo-Israel oa e piny Misri kaluwore gi dhoutgi”
27 They/We were the ones who spoke to the king of Egypt about bringing the Israeli people out of Egypt.
Gin giwegi ema ne giwuoyo gi Farao ruodh jo-Misri mondo ogol jo-Israel e piny Misri. Ne en mana Musa kod Harun.
28 On the day that Yahweh spoke to Moses/me in Egypt,
Kane Jehova Nyasaye owuoyo gi Musa e piny Misri,
29 he said, “I am Yahweh. You must tell the king everything that I say to you.”
nowachone niya, “An Jehova Nyasaye. Nyis Farao ruodh jo-Misri gik moko duto manyisi.”
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]
To Musa nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Nikech an radwal, en angʼo manyalo miyo Farao winja?”
