Exodus 3
1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, [even] to Horeb.
Na rĩrĩ, Musa nĩ kũrĩithia arĩithagia rũũru rwa mbũri rwa mũthoni-we Jethero, mũthĩnjĩri-ngai wa Midiani, nake agĩtongoria rũũru rũu rwa mbũri mwena ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa werũ kũraya ma, na agĩkinya Horebu, kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ngai.
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] not consumed.
Arĩ kũu-rĩ, akiumĩrĩrwo nĩ mũraika wa Jehova arĩ nĩnĩmbĩ-inĩ cia mwaki ikiuma kĩhinga-inĩ. Musa akĩona atĩ o na gũtuĩka kĩhinga nĩgĩakanaga-rĩ, gĩtiahĩaga.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũthiĩ ho nĩgeetha nyone ũndũ ũyũ mũgeni, menye kĩrĩa kĩragiria kĩhinga kĩhĩe.”
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.
Rĩrĩa Jehova onire atĩ nĩathiĩ hau gũcũthĩrĩria, Ngai akĩmwĩta arĩ kĩhinga-inĩ, “Musa! Musa!” Nake Musa agĩĩtĩka, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
5 And he said, Approach not hither: put off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou standest [is] holy ground.
Nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgakuhĩrĩrie haha. Ruta iraatũ ciaku magũrũ, nĩgũkorwo handũ hau ũrũgamĩte nĩ handũ hatheru.”
6 Moreover he said, I [am] the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face: for he was afraid to look upon God.
Ningĩ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai wa thoguo, Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, Ngai wa Isaaka, o na Ngai wa Jakubu.” Kahinda kau Musa akĩhitha ũthiũ wake, tondũ nĩetigĩrire kũrora Ngai.
7 And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who [are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task-masters; for I know their sorrows;
Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ; “Ti-itherũ nĩnyonete mĩnyamaro ya andũ akwa kũu bũrũri wa Misiri. Nĩnjiguĩte kĩrĩro kĩao nĩ ũndũ wa arũgamĩrĩri a ngombo arĩa mamahinyagĩrĩria, na nĩngũrũmbũiya ũhoro wa kũnyamarĩka kwao.
8 And I am come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, to a good land, and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩnjikũrũkĩte nĩguo ndĩmateithũre kuuma moko-inĩ ma andũ a Misiri, ndĩmarute bũrũri ũcio, ndĩmatware bũrũri mwega na mwariĩ, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ, kũrĩa gũtũũragwo nĩ Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aamori, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi.
9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me: and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
Na rĩu kĩrĩro kĩa andũ a Isiraeli nĩkĩnginyĩire, na nĩnyonete ũrĩa andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri maramahinyĩrĩria.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, thiĩ. Ndĩragũtũma kũrĩ Firaũni ũkarute andũ akwa a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri.”
11 And Moses said to God, Who [am] I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
No Musa akĩũria Ngai atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ ũ wa gũthiĩ kwa Firaũni ngarute andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri?”
12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall be] a token to thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
Nake Ngai agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ndĩrĩkoragwo hamwe nawe. Naguo ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũgaatuĩka kĩmenyithia gĩa atĩ nĩ niĩ ngũtũmĩte: Rĩrĩa ũkaaruta andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩmũkahooyagĩra Ngai kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩkĩ.”
13 And Moses said to God, Behold, [when] I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What [is] his name? What shall I say to them?
Musa akĩĩra Ngai atĩrĩ, “Ingĩthiĩ kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli ndĩmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ Ngai wa maithe manyu wandũma kũrĩ inyuĩ,’ nao manjũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai ũcio etagwo atĩa?’ ngaamacookeria atĩa?”
14 And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: And he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me to you.
Ngai akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “NIĨ NDŨIRE O TA ŨRĨA NDŨIRE. Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, Ũrĩa wĩtagwo ‘NIĨ NDŨIRE nĩwe ũndũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.’”
15 And God said, moreover, to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: this [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my memorial to all generations.
Ningĩ Ngai agĩcooka akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova, o we Ngai wa maithe manyu, Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Ngai wa Isaaka na Ngai wa Jakubu nĩandũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.’ Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nginya tene, rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa ndĩĩririkanagwo narĩo kuuma njiarwa na njiarwa.
16 Go and assemble the elders of Israel, and say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and [seen] that which is done to you in Egypt.
“Thiĩ, ũcookanĩrĩrie athuuri a Isiraeli, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova, Ngai wa maithe manyu o we Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu nĩanyumĩrĩire akanjĩĩra atĩrĩ: Nĩndorete na ngoona maũndũ marĩa mwĩkĩtwo kũu bũrũri wa Misiri,
17 And I have said, I will bring you out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.
na nĩnduĩte nĩngũmũruta kuuma mĩnyamaro-inĩ yanyu kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, ndĩmũtware bũrũri wa Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aamori, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.’
18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go (we beseech thee) three days journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
“Athuuri acio a Isiraeli nĩmagagũthikĩrĩria. Ningĩ wee na athuuri acio nĩmũgathiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri na mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova, o we Ngai wa Ahibirania, nĩarĩtie na ithuĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio twĩtĩkĩrie tũthiĩ rũgendo rwa mĩthenya ĩtatũ werũ-inĩ tũkarutĩre Jehova Ngai witũ magongona.’
19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
No nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mũthamaki ũcio wa bũrũri wa Misiri ndakamwĩtĩkĩria mũthiĩ, tiga guoko gwakwa kwa hinya kũmũhatĩrĩirie gwĩka ũguo.
20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngatambũrũkia guoko gwakwa hũũre andũ a Misiri na maũndũ mothe ma magegania marĩa ngeeka thĩinĩ wao. Thuutha ũcio, nĩakamwĩtĩkĩria mũthiĩ.
21 And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
“Na nĩngatũma mwĩtĩkĩrĩke nĩ andũ a Misiri, nĩgeetha rĩrĩa mũkoimagara, mũtikanathiĩ moko matheri.
22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that dwelleth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put [them] upon your sons, and upon your daughters: and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
Mũndũ-wa-nja o wothe Mũisiraeli nĩakahooya mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake, na ahooe mũndũ-wa-nja o wothe matũũranagia nake gwake nyũmba indo cia betha na thahabu o na nguo, iria mũkaahumba ciana cianyu cia aanake na cia airĩtu. Na nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũgataha andũ acio a Misiri.”
