Exodus 3

1 And Moses hath been feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he leadeth the flock behind the wilderness, and cometh in unto the mount of God, to Horeb;

Nʼoge a, Mosis na-azụ igwe anụ ụlọ Jetro ọgọ ya nwoke, onye nchụaja na Midia. Otu ụbọchị, o duuru igwe anụ ụlọ ndị a gaa nʼakụkụ ọzara. Ọ batara Horeb, ugwu Chineke.

2 and there appeareth unto him a messenger of Jehovah in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he seeth, and lo, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.

Nʼebe ahụ, mmụọ ozi nke Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ hụ ya nʼọkụ na-ere nʼetiti ọhịa. Mosis hụrụ na ọ bụ ezie na ọhịa ahụ na-enwu ọkụ ma ọ naghị ere ọkụ.

3 And Moses saith, 'Let me turn aside, I pray thee, and I see this great appearance; wherefore is the bush not burned?'

Nʼihi ya, Mosis chere nʼobi ya sị, “Aga m aga nso leruo ihe omimi a anya, otu ọkụ si enwu ma ọhịa anaghị ere ọkụ.”

4 and Jehovah seeth that he hath turned aside to see, and God calleth unto him out of the midst of the bush, and saith, 'Moses, Moses;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'

Mgbe Onyenwe anyị hụrụ na ọ tụgharịrị ka ọ hụ ihe na-eme, Chineke kpọrọ ya oku site nʼime ọhịa ahụ, “Mosis! Mosis!” Ọ sị, “Lekwa m nʼebe a.”

5 And He saith, 'Come not near hither: cast thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place on which thou art standing is holy ground.'

Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ya, “Abịakwala nso. Yipụ akpụkpọụkwụ gị, nʼihi na ebe i guzo bụ ala dị nsọ.”

6 He saith also, 'I [am] the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;' and Moses hideth his face, for he is afraid to look towards God.

Ọ sịrị, “Abụ m Chineke nke nna gị. Chineke nke Ebraham, Chineke nke Aịzik na Chineke nke Jekọb.” Mosis zoro ihu ya, nʼihi na ọ tụrụ egwu ilegide Chineke anya.

7 And Jehovah saith, 'I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and their cry I have heard, because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;

Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị sịrị, “Nʼezie, ahụla m nhụju anya nke ndị m nọ nʼIjipt, anụkwala m mkpu akwa ha, nʼihi aka ike nke ndị na-achị ha dịka ndị ohu. Nʼihi na ama m ahụhụ ha na-agabiga.

8 and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey — unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

Ya mere, agbadatala m ịnapụta ha site nʼaka ndị Ijipt na ịkpọpụta ha site nʼala ahụ, idubata ha nʼala ọma ahụ, nke sara mbara, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya. Ala ebe ndị Kenan, na ndị Het, na ndị Amọrait, na ndị Periz, na ndị Hiv, na ndị Jebus bi.

9 'And now, lo, the cry of the sons of Israel hath come in unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,

Ugbu a, akwa ụmụ Izrel eruola m ntị, ahụkwala m otu ndị Ijipt si na-emegbu ha.

10 and now, come, and I send thee unto Pharaoh, and bring thou out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.'

Ugbu a, aga m eziga gị ka i jekwuru Fero, ka i dupụta ndị m bụ ụmụ Izrel site nʼala Ijipt.”

11 And Moses saith unto God, 'Who [am] I, that I go unto Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?'

Mosis sịrị Chineke, “Onye ka m bụ na m ga-ejekwuru Fero, meekwa ka ụmụ Izrel site nʼala Ijipt pụta?”

12 and He saith, 'Because I am with thee, and this [is] to thee the sign that I have sent thee: in thy bringing out the people from Egypt — ye do serve God on this mount.'

Chineke gwara ya sị, “Aga m anọnyere gị. Nke a ga-abụ ihe ama nye gị na ọ bụ m na-eziga gị. Mgbe i sitere nʼala Ijipt kpọpụta ụmụ Izrel, unu niile ga-efe m ofufe nʼelu ugwu a.”

13 And Moses saith unto God, 'Lo, I am coming unto the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they have said to me, What [is] His name? what do I say unto them?'

Ma Mosis jụrụ Chineke sị, “Ọ bụrụ na m agwa ụmụ Izrel sị, ‘Chineke nna nna unu zitere m izi unu ozi,’ ha ga-ajụ m sị, ‘Gịnị bụ aha ya?’ Gịnị ka m ga-aza ha?”

14 And God saith unto Moses, 'I AM THAT WHICH I AM;' He saith also, 'Thus dost thou say to the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.'

Chineke sịrị Mosis, “ABỤ M ONYE M BỤ. Naanị gwa ụmụ Izrel na ‘ABỤ M zitere gị.’”

15 And God saith again unto Moses, 'Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this [is] My name — to the age, and this My memorial, to generation — generation.

Chineke gakwara nʼihu gwa Mosis sị, Si otu a gwa ụmụ Izrel okwu. “Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nna nna unu, Chineke Ebraham, Chineke Aịzik na Chineke Jekọb, zitere m ịbịakwute unu.” Nke a bụ aha m ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, aha nke e ji echeta m site nʼọgbọ ruo nʼọgbọ.

16 'Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;

“Gaa, kpọkọta ndị okenye Izrel niile zie ha sị, ‘Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna unu, Chineke Ebraham, Chineke Aịzik, na Chineke Jekọb, egosila m onwe ya, sị m, Eleruola m ọnọdụ unu anya hụ ihe a na-eme unu nʼala Ijipt.

17 and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

Ekweela m nkwa ịkpọpụta unu site nʼahụhụ unu na-ahụ nʼala Ijipt duru unu baa nʼala nke ndị Kenan, na ndị Het, na ndị Amọrait, na ndị Periz, na ndị Hiv, na ndị Jebus bi nʼime ya. Ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.’

18 'And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

“Ndị okenye Izrel ga-anabata ozi gị. Mgbe ahụ gị na ha ga-eso gaa nʼihu eze Ijipt gwa ya sị, ‘Onyenwe anyị, Chineke ndị Hibru ezutela anyị. Kwere ka anyị gaa njem nʼime ọzara abalị atọ gaa chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị aja.’

19 'And I — I have known that the king of Egypt doth not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,

Amaara m rịị na eze Ijipt agaghị ekwe ka unu gaa, tutu ruo mgbe e ji aka ike kwagide ya.

20 and I have put forth My hand, and have smitten Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst — and afterwards he doth send you away.

Ma aga m esetipụ aka m tie Ijipt ihe otiti, site nʼihe ịrịbama dị iche iche nke m ga-eme nʼetiti ya. Mgbe nke a gasịrị, ọ ga-ahapụ unu ka unu laa.

21 'And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it hath come to pass, when ye go, ye go not empty;

“Aga m emekwa ka unu nweta amara nʼihu ndị Ijipt, ka unu ghara ịgba aka mgbe unu na-ala.

22 and [every] woman hath asked from her neighbour, and from her who is sojourning in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and ye have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.'

Nwanyị ọbụla ga-arịọ site nʼaka nwanyị Ijipt onye agbataobi ya na nwanyị ọbịa bi nʼụlọ ya, ihe niile e ji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo kpụọ, na akwa dị iche iche. Unu ga-eyikwasị ha ụmụ unu ndị ikom na ụmụ unu ndị inyom, bịa si otu a kwakọrọ ngwongwo ndị Ijipt.”
