< Exodus 3 >

1 Now Moses was still shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. Moses led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and arrived at Horeb, the mountain of God.
Ie niarake ty lia-rai’ Iit’rò, rafoza’e, mpisoro’ i Midiane, t’i Mosè, le niaoloe’e mb’an-kalo’ i ratraratray mb’eo i lia-raikey vaho pok’ e Korèbe vohin’ Añahare eo.
2 There the angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush. Moses looked, and behold, the bush was burning, but the bush was not burned up.
Nisodehañe ama’e an-delan’afo an-drongoñe ao ty anjeli’ Iehovà; nisaria’e, le ndra te nirebarebaen’ afo i rongoñey tsy naha­tomontoñe aze.
3 Moses said, “I will turn aside and see this amazing thing, why the bush is not burned up.”
Le hoe t’i Mosè, Het! hitsile iraho hisamba o raha fanjaka eroan-koekeo, handrendreke ty tsy mahamae o rongoñeo.
4 When Yahweh saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him out of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses.” Moses said, “Here I am.”
Nivazoho’ Iehovà t’ie nitsile mb’eo hisamba, le nikanjien’ Añahare boak’ amy rongoñey, ami’ty hoe: O Mosè, Mosè! Hoe re, Intoy iraho,
5 God said, “Do not come any closer! Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are standing is ground that is set apart to me.”
Le hoe re, Ko mañarivo mb’etoañe, afaho hey o hana am-pandia’oo amy te masiñe o tane ijohaña’oo.
6 He added, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses covered his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
Tinovo’e ty hoe, Izaho t’i Andrianañaharen-droae’o, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame naho t’i Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke vaho t’i Andrianañahare’ Iakòbe. Le nanakon-daharañe t’i Mosè fa nihembañe tsy te hahaisak’ an’ Andrianañahare.
7 Yahweh said, “I have certainly seen the suffering of my people who are in Egypt. I have heard their shouts because of their taskmasters, for I know about their suffering.
Le hoe t’Iehovà, Toe nisarieko ty hasotria’ ondatiko e Mitsraimeo; le tsinanoko ty fitoreo’ iareo ty amo mpanao bozizy iareoo; toe apotako ty halovilovia’ iareo,
8 I have come down to free them from the Egyptians' power and to bring them up from that land to a good, large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the region of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
le nizotsoako handrombak’ iareo amo nte-Mitsraimeo, hañakatse iereo amy taney naho hendeseko mb’ am-patram-bey soa, mb’ an-tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele, mb’ an-tane’ o nte-Kanàneo naho o nte-Kheteo naho o nte-Emoreo naho o nte-Peri­zeo naho o nte-Kiveo vaho o nte-Iebosìo.
9 Now the shouts of the people of Israel have come to me. Moreover, I have seen the oppression caused by the Egyptians.
Ie amy zao, inao! fa pok’ amako ty fibabababa’ o ana’ Israeleo; vaho nitreako ty famorekekea’ o nte-Mitsraime manindry iareoo.
10 Now then, I will send you to Pharaoh so that you may bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”
Akia, mamantok’ azo iraho homb’ amy Parò mb’eo hañavotse o ana’ Israele ondatikoo amy Mitsraime.
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites from Egypt?”
Aa hoe t’i Mosè aman’ Añahare, Ia v-iraho te homb’ amy Parò hañakatse o ana’ Israeleo boake Mitsraime ao?
12 God replied, “I will certainly be with you. This will be a sign to you that I have sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship me on this mountain.”
Hoe re, Toe hindrezako; vaho zao ty haha­rendreha’o an-kató te Izaho ty nañirak’ azo: naho navota’o boake Mitsraime ao ondatio, le hitalaho aman’ Añahare ami’ty vohitse toy nahareo.
13 Moses said to God, “When I go to the Israelites and tell them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' and when they say to me, 'What is his name?' what should I say to them?”
Aa hoe t’i Mosè aman’ Añahare, Ingo, homb’ amo ana’ Israeleo mb’eo iraho hanao ty hoe, Nirahen’ Añaharen-droae’ areo homb’ ama’ areo mb’ etoan-draho, vaho hañontanea’ iereo ty hoe, Ia ty tahina’e? aa le inoñe ty havaleko?
14 God said to Moses, “I AM THAT I AM.” God said, “You must say to the Israelites, 'I AM has sent me to you.'”
Hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Mosè, Ehiè ze Ehiè, Le tinovo’e ty hoe, Hoe ty ho saontsie’o amo ana’ Israeleo, Ehiè, ty nañitrik’ ahy homb’ama’ areo mb’etoa.
15 God also said to Moses, “You must say to the Israelites, 'Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is how I will be kept in mind for all generations.'
Hoe ka t’i Andrianañahare amy Mosè, Hoe ty hatao’o amo ana’ Israeleo, Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, i Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke naho i Andrianañahare’ Iakòbe ro nañirak’ ahy homb’ama’ areo mb’etoa. Izay ty añarako nainai’e, vaho izay ty fanoñonañe ahy nainai’e an-tsà an-tsà.
16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together. Say to them, 'Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me and said, “I have indeed observed you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.
Akia, atontono o androanavi’ Israeleo vaho ano ty hoe, Nisodehañe’ amako t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame naho Ietsàke vaho Iakòbey, nanao ty hoe: Toe nitilik’ anahareo iraho naho nitreako o anoañe e Mitsraimeo.
17 I have promised to bring you up from the oppression in Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.”'
Le hoe iraho: havotako ami’ty halovilovia’ i Mitsraime nahareo, homb’ an-tane’ i nte-Kanàney naho i nte-Khetey naho i nte-Emorey naho i nte-Periziy naho i nte-Kivey vaho i nte-Iebosìy, mb’tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele añe.
18 They will listen to you. You and the elders of Israel must go to the king of Egypt, and you must tell him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, in order that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.'
Ho haoñe’ iareo ty fiarañanaña’o le hiheo mb’amy mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey irehe rekets’ o androanavi’ Israeleo hanao ty hoe, Fa nifañaoñe ama’ay t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ o nte-Evreo, aa le angao hañavelo lia telo andro am-patram­bey añe hañenga soroñe am’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ay.
19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, unless his hand is forced.
Toe fantako t’ie tsy hapo’ ty mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime hañavelo naho tsy am-pitàñe maozatse.
20 I will reach out with my hand and attack the Egyptians with all the miracles that I will do among them. After that, he will let you go.
Aa le hahitiko ty tañako hipaoke i Mitsraime amy ze hene fitoloñañe mahalatsa hanoeko ao. Mandimbe izay t’ie hapo’e hienga.
21 I will grant this people favor from the Egyptians, so when you leave, you will not go empty-handed.
Toe hampañisohako am-pihaino’ o nte-Mitsraimeo ondatio, aa ie mienga, le tsy hañavelo an-tañam-polo;
22 Every woman will ask for silver and gold jewels and for clothing from her Egyptian neighbors and any women staying in her neighbors' houses. You will put them on your sons and daughters. In this way you will plunder the Egyptians.”
fa songa hihalaly fanake volafoty naho volamena naho saroñe amo mpiharo tanàñe ama’eo naho amy ze ambahiny añ’ anjomba’e ao ze rakemba vaho haombe’ areo amo ana-dahy naho anakampela’ areoo vaho ho volose’ areo o nte-Mitsraimeo.
