Exodus 4
1 Moses answered, “But what if they do not believe me or listen to me but say instead, 'Yahweh has not appeared to you'?”
Musa nodwoko niya, “To kapo ni ok giyie kata winjo wachna mi giwacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ofwenyoreni’?”
2 Yahweh said to him, “What is that in your hand?” Moses said, “A staff.”
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nopenje niya, “Mano en angʼo mantie e lwetino?” Musa nodwoko niya, “En luth.”
3 Yahweh said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground, and it became a snake. Moses ran back from it.
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya “Bole piny kanyo.” Musa nobole piny e lowo kendo nolokore thuol mi Musa noringe.
4 Yahweh said to Moses, “Reach out and take it by the tail.” So he reached out and took hold of the snake. It became a staff in his hand again.
Bangʼe Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Rie badi mondo imake gi yo ka iwe.” Kuom Mano Musa norieyo bade kendo nomake gi yo ka iwe mi nochako olokore luth e lwete.
5 “This is so they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Ma en kamano mondo mi giyie ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi; Nyasach Ibrahim gi Isaka kod Jakobo osefwenyoreni.”
6 Yahweh also said to him, “Now put your hand inside your robe.” So Moses put his hand inside his robe. When he brought it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “So lweti ei lawi.” Kuom mano, Musa nosoyo lwete ei lawe kendo kane ogole oko, to lwete nolokore dhoho, marachar ka pe.
7 Yahweh said, “Put your hand inside your robe again.” So Moses put his hand inside his robe, and when he brought it out, he saw that it was made healthy again, like the rest of his flesh.
Bangʼe nonyise niya, “Koro dwok lweti ei law.” Kuom mano, Musa nodwoko lwete ei law, kendo kane ogole, lwete nochango modoko machal gi dende duto.
8 Yahweh said, “If they do not believe you—if they do not pay attention to the first sign of my power or believe in it, then they will believe the second sign.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Kapo ni ok giyie gi wachni kata kuom ranyisi mokwongo, to ginyalo yie mar ariyo.
9 If they do not believe even these two signs of my power, or listen to you, then take some water from the river and pour it on the dry land. The water that you take will become blood on the dry land.”
To kapo ni ok giyie gi ranyisi ariyogo kata winjo wachni, to kaw pi mar aora Nael, kendo iole e lowo motwo. Pi migolo e aorano biro lokore remo e lowo motwo.”
10 Then Moses said to Yahweh, “Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you spoke to your servant. I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”
Musa nodwoko Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ok asebedo ngʼat ma wuoyo kalewe yot chakre chon kata e sa misebedo ka iwuoyo kod misumbani. Lewa pek kendo aywayo wach.”
11 Yahweh said to him, “Who is it who made man's mouth? Who makes a man mute or deaf or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh?
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nowachone niya, “En ngʼa manochweyo dho dhano? En ngʼa mamiyo odoko momo kata ite odino? Koso en ngʼa mamiyo oneno kata obedo muofu? Donge en an Jehova Nyasaye?
12 So now go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what to say.”
Omiyo koro dhiyo, abiro konyi e wuoyo bende abiro puonji gima onego iwachi.”
13 But Moses said, “Lord, please send anyone else, anyone whom you wish to send.”
To Musa nodwoke niya, “Yaye Ruoth Nyasaye, ka iyie to or ngʼat machielo.”
14 Then Yahweh became angry with Moses. He said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Moreover, he is coming to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye ne mirima omako gi Musa mowachone niya, “Donge owadu Harun ma ja-Lawi nitie? Angʼeyo ni onyalo wuoyo maber. Osechako wuoth obiro romoni bende chunye biro bedo mamor ka oneni.
15 You will speak to him and put the words to say into his mouth. I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will show you both what to do.
Ibiro wuoyo kode mi iket weche e dhoge; abiro konyou un ji ariyo mondo uwuo bende abiro puonjou gima onego utim.
16 He will speak to the people for you. He will be your mouth, and you will be to him like me, God.
Obiro wuoyo gi ji kari kendo obiro bedo kaka dhogi bende ibiro bedone kaka Nyasaye.
17 You will take in your hand this staff. With it you will do the signs.”
To kaw ludhni e lweti nimar ibiro timo kode honni gi ranyisi.”
18 So Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Let me go so I may return to my relatives who are in Egypt and see if they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
Eka Musa nodok ir Jethro jaduongʼne mowachone niya “Yie iweya adog Misri ir joga mondo ane kapo ni nitie moro kuomgi ma pod ngima.” Jethro nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo kendo ibed gi gweth.”
19 Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt, for all the men who were trying to take your life are dead.”
Noyudo Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo gi Musa e piny Midian kowachone niya, “Dog Misri, nikech jogo duto mane dwaro negi osetho.”
20 Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on a donkey. He returned to the land of Egypt, and he took the staff of God in his hand.
Omiyo Musa nokawo chiege kod yawuote, mi oketogi e punda kendo nochako wuoth mar dok Misri. Bende nokawo ludh Nyasaye e lwete.
21 Yahweh said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders that I have put in your power. But I will harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya, “Ka idok Misri nyaka ine ni itimo e nyim Farao honni duto ma asemiyi teko mondo itim. Makmana abiro miyo chuny Farao doko matek ma ok onyal weyo jo-Israel mondo oa.
22 You must say to Pharaoh, 'This is what Yahweh says: Israel is my son, my firstborn,
Eka iniwach ni Farao kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Israel e wuoda makayo,
23 and I say to you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But since you have refused to let him go, I will certainly kill your son, your firstborn.'”
kendo ne anyisi niya, “Yie iwe wuoda odhi, mondo olama.” To nikech nidagi weye mondo odhi; koro abiro nego wuodi makayo.’”
24 Now on the way, when they stopped for the night, Yahweh met Moses and tried to kill him.
E kinde mane Musa obuoro kamoro e kor yo, Jehova Nyasaye noromo kode kendo nochiegni nege.
25 Then Zipporah took a flint knife and cut off the foreskin of her son, and touched it to his feet. Then she said, “Surely you are a bridegroom to me by blood.”
To Zipora nokawo pala modingli mi ongʼadogo pien mantie e dho duongʼ wuode kendo nokawo pien-no momulogo tiend Musa. Nowacho niya, “Adier ibedona wuon kisera mar remo.”
26 So Yahweh let him alone. She said, “You are a bridegroom of blood” because of the circumcision.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye noweye. (E kindeno ema Zipora nowachoe niya, “Wuon kisera mar remo,” ma tiende ni tero nyangu.)
27 Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” Aaron went, met him at the mountain of God, and kissed him.
Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Harun niya, “Dhiyo e thim mondo irom gi Musa.” Omiyo nodhi moromo gi Musa e got mar Nyasaye kendo nonyodhe.
28 Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh that he had sent him to say and about all the signs of Yahweh's power that he had commanded him to do.
Eka Musa nonyiso Harun weche duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo owachi, kendo nonyise honni duto mane Jehova Nyasaye oore mondo otim.
29 Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the Israelites.
Eka Musa gi Harun nochoko jodong jo-Israel duto kanyakla,
30 Aaron spoke all the words that Yahweh had spoken to Moses. He also displayed the signs of Yahweh's power in the sight of the people.
kendo Harun nonyisogi gik moko duto mane Jehova Nyasaye onyiso Musa. Bende notimo honni duto e nyim ji,
31 The people believed. When they heard that Yahweh had observed the Israelites and that he had seen their oppression, then they bowed their heads and worshiped him.
kendo ne giyie. Kendo kane giwinjo ni Jehova Nyasaye oseneno chandruokgi kendo ni odwaro resogi, negikulore mi gilame.
