Exodus 6
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. You will see this, for he will let them go because of my strong hand. Because of my strong hand, he will drive them out of his land.”
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Ugbu a, ị ga-ahụ ihe m ga-eme Fero. Nʼihi ike aka m, ọ ga-ezipụ ha. Nʼihi ike aka, ọ ga-achụpụ ha site nʼala ya.”
2 God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am Yahweh.
Chineke gara nʼihu gwa Mosis sị, “Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị.”
3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty; but by my name, Yahweh, I was not known to them.
Egosiri m Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb onwe m dịka Chineke, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Ma ọ dịghị mgbe m mere ka ha mata aha m dịka Onyenwe anyị.
4 I also established my covenant with them, in order to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as non-citizens, the land in which they wandered about.
Emere m ka ọgbụgba ndụ m guzosie ike nʼetiti mụ na ha, ọgbụgba ndụ nke inye ha ala Kenan ebe ha biri dịka ndị ọbịa.
5 Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have enslaved, and I have called to mind my covenant.
Ugbu a, anụla m ịsụ ude ụmụ Izrel, bụ ndị ahụ ndị Ijipt mere ka ha bụrụ ndị ohu. Echetakwala m ọgbụgba ndụ m.
6 Therefore, say to the Israelites, 'I am Yahweh. I will bring you out from slavery under the Egyptians, and I will free you from their power. I will rescue you with a display of my power, and with mighty acts of judgment.
“Ya mere, gwa ụmụ Izrel, ‘Abụ m Onyenwe anyị. Aga m akpọpụta unu site nʼọnọdụ ịbụ ohu ndị Ijipt. Aga m eme ka unu nwere onwe unu site nʼọnọdụ ịbụ ndị ohu nye ha. Aga m eji aka ike m nke m ga-esetipụ, ya na ihe ngosipụta dị ukwuu nke ikpe ikpe m, gbapụta unu.
7 I will take you to myself as my people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from slavery under the Egyptians.
Mgbe ahụ, aga m ewere unu ka unu bụrụ ndị m. Aga m abụ Chineke unu. Unu ga-amata na m bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼaka ịbụ ohu nʼala Ijipt.
8 I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am Yahweh.'”
Aga m akpọbata unu nʼala ahụ m weliri aka m elu, ṅụọ nʼiyi, nye Ebraham, na Aịzik, na Jekọb, ime ka ọ bụrụ ihe nketa unu. Abụ m Onyenwe anyị.’”
9 When Moses told this to the Israelites, they would not listen to him because of their discouragement about their harsh slavery.

10 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

11 “Go tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to let the people of Israel go from his land.”
“Gaa gwa Fero eze Ijipt, ka ọ hapụ ụmụ Izrel ka ha pụọ nʼala ya.”
12 Moses said to Yahweh, “If the Israelites have not listened to me, why will Pharaoh listen to me, since I am not good at speaking?”
Mosis kwuru nʼihu Onyenwe anyị sị, “Mgbe ụmụ Izrel na-aṅaghị m ntị, olee otu Fero ga-esi ṅaa m ntị? Nke ka nke, enweghị m ike ikwu okwu nke ọma.”
13 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He gave them a command for the Israelites and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
