1 Nake mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Thitango ici nĩ cia ma?”
Then sayde ye chefe prest: is it even so?
2 Nake Stefano agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ariũ a Baba na maithe maitũ, ta thikĩrĩriai! Ngai mwene riiri nĩoimĩrĩire ithe witũ Iburahĩmu hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aatũũraga bũrũri wa Mesopotamia, atanathiĩ gũtũũra bũrũri wa Harani.
And he sayde: ye men brethren and fathers harken to. The God of glory appered vnto oure father Abraha whyll he was yet in Mesopotamia before he dwelt in Charran
3 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Thaama uume bũrũri wanyu na ũtige andũ anyu, ũthiĩ bũrũri ũrĩa ngaakuonia.’
and sayd vnto him: come out of thy contre and from thy kynred and come into the londe which I shall shewe the.
4 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Iburahĩmu akiuma bũrũri wa Akalidei agĩthiĩ gũtũũra Harani. Thuutha wa gĩkuũ gĩa ithe, Ngai akĩmũruta kuo na agĩũka bũrũri ũyũ mũtũũraga.
Then came he out of the londe of Chaldey and dwelt in Charran. And after that assone as his father was deed he brought him into this lande in which ye now dwell
5 Ndaamũheire igai gũkũ, o na ikinya rĩmwe. No Ngai nĩamwĩrire atĩ we hamwe na njiaro ciake nĩmakegwatĩra bũrũri ũyũ, o na gũtuĩka hĩndĩ ĩyo Iburahĩmu ndaarĩ na mwana.
and he gave him none inheritaunce in it no not the bredeth of a fote: but promised yt he wolde geve it to him to possesse and to his seed after him when as yet he had no chylde.
6 Ngai eerire Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ: ‘Njiaro ciaku igaatũũra irĩ ngʼeni bũrũri ũtarĩ wacio, kũrĩa igaatuuo ngombo na inyariirwo ihinda rĩa mĩaka magana mana.’
God verely spake on this wyse that his seade shulde be a dweller in a straunge londe and that they shulde kepe them in bondage and entreate them evyll. iiii. C. yeares.
7 Ningĩ Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘No nĩngaherithia rũrĩrĩ rũu igaatungata irĩ ngombo; na thuutha ũcio-rĩ, nĩikoima bũrũri ũcio, nacio nĩikaahooya irĩ kũndũ gũkũ.’
But the nacion to whom they shalbe in bondage will I iudge sayde God. And after that shall they come forthe and serve me in this place.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩarĩkanĩire na Iburahĩmu kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũhoro wa kũrua. Nake Iburahĩmu agĩtuĩka ithe wa Isaaka na akĩmũruithia thikũ ya kanana thuutha wa gũciarwo gwake. Thuutha-inĩ Isaaka agĩtuĩka ithe wa Jakubu, nake Jakubu agĩtuĩka ithe wa athuuri arĩa ikũmi na eerĩ.

And the patriarkes havinge indignacio solde Ioseph into Egipte. And God was with him
10 na akĩmũhonokia mathĩĩna-inĩ make mothe. Nĩaheire Jusufu ũũgĩ na akĩmũhotithia atuĩke wa kwendeka nĩ Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmũtua wa gwathaga Misiri o na nyũmba yake yothe ya ũthamaki.
and delivered him out of all his adversities. And gave him faveour and wisdome in the sight of Pharao kynge of Egipte which made him governer over Egipte and over all his housholde.
11 “Thuutha ũcio gũkĩgĩa ngʼaragu bũrũri-inĩ wothe wa Misiri, na Kaanani, na ĩkĩrehe gũthĩĩnĩka kũingĩ mũno, namo maithe maitũ makĩaga irio.
Then came ther a derth over all the londe of Egipt and Canaan and great affliccion that our fathers founde no sustenauce.
12 Rĩrĩa Jakubu aiguire atĩ Misiri nĩ kwarĩ na ngano, agĩtũma maithe maitũ kuo hĩndĩ ya mbere.
But when Iacob hearde that ther was corne in Egipte he sent oure fathers fyrst
13 Na rĩrĩa maathiire riita rĩa keerĩ-rĩ, Jusufu akĩĩmenyithania kũrĩ ariũ a ithe, nake Firaũni akĩmenya ũhoro wa nyũmba ya Jusufu.
and at the seconde tyme Ioseph was knowen of his brethren and Iosephs kynred was made knowne vnto Pharao.
14 Thuutha wa ũguo-rĩ, Jusufu agĩtũmanĩra ithe Jakubu na nyũmba yake yothe moke, nao othe maarĩ andũ mĩrongo mũgwanja na atano.
Then sent Ioseph and caused his father to be brought and all his kynne thre score and xv. soules.
15 Nake Jakubu agĩikũrũka, agĩthiĩ Misiri, kũrĩa we na maithe maitũ maakuĩrĩire.
And Iacob descended into Egipte and dyed bothe he and oure fathers
16 Mĩĩrĩ yao nĩyacookirio Shekemu na ĩgĩthikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa Iburahĩmu aagũrĩte na mbeeca kuuma kũrĩ ariũ a Hamori kũu Shekemu.

till another kynge arose which knewe not of Ioseph.
19 Agĩĩka andũ aitũ ũũru mũno na akĩhinyĩrĩria maithe maitũ na ũndũ wa kũmaringĩrĩria na hinya mate tũkenge twao nĩgeetha tũkue.
The same dealte suttelly with oure kynred and evyll intreated oure fathers and made them to cast oute their younge chyldren that they shuld not remayne alyve.
20 “Ihinda-inĩ rĩu Musa nĩaciarirwo, nake aarĩ mwana mũthaka mũno. Akĩrererwo mũciĩ gwa ithe ihinda rĩa mĩeri ĩtatũ.
The same tyme was Moses borne and was a proper childe in ye sight of God which was norisshed vp in his fathers housse thre monethes.
21 Rĩrĩa aigirwo nja-rĩ, mwarĩ wa Firaũni akĩmuoya akĩmũrera ta mwana wake.
When he was cast out Pharoes doughter toke him vp and norisshed him vp for her awne sonne.
22 Musa agĩthomithio na ũũgĩ wothe wa andũ a Misiri na aarĩ na hinya wa mĩario na ciĩko.
And Moses was learned in all maner wisdome of the Egipcians and was mighty in dedes and in wordes.
23 “Rĩrĩa Musa aakinyirie mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna-rĩ, agĩtua itua rĩa gũceerera andũ ao a Isiraeli.
And when he was full forty yeare olde it came into his hert to visit his brethren the chyldren of Israhel.
24 Nĩonire mũndũ ũmwe wao akĩnyariirwo nĩ mũndũ wa Misiri. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩthiĩ kũmũũrĩria na akĩmũrĩhĩria na ũndũ wa kũũraga mũndũ ũcio Mũmisiri.
And when he sawe one of them suffre wronge he defended him and avenged his quarell that had the harme done to him and smote the Egypcian.
25 Musa eeciirĩtie atĩ andũ ao nĩmangĩonire atĩ Ngai nĩamũhũthagĩra nĩgeetha amahonokie, no-o matiamenyire ũguo.
For he supposed hys brethren wolde have vnderstonde how yt God by his hondes shuld save them But they vnderstode not.
26 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Musa agĩthiĩ agĩkora andũ eerĩ a Isiraeli makĩrũa. Akĩgeria kũmaiguithania akĩmeeraga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ aya, inyuĩ mũrĩ a ithe ũmwe; nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwende gwĩkana ũũru?’
And the next daye he shewed him selfe vnto the as they strove and wolde have set the at one agayne sayinge: Syrs ye are brethren why hurte ye one another?
27 “No mũndũ ũrĩa wekĩte ũcio ũngĩ ũũru agĩikania Musa, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ wagũtuire mwathi na mũtuithania wa maciira maitũ?
But he that dyd his neghbour wronge thrust him awaye sayinge: who made ye a rular and a iudge amonge vs?
28 Ũrenda kũnjũraga o ta ũrĩa ũrooragire Mũmisiri ira?’
What wilt thou kyll me as thou dyddest the Egyptian yester daye?
29 Rĩrĩa Musa aiguire ũguo akĩũra agĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Midiani, kũrĩa aatũũrire arĩ ta mũgeni na akĩgĩa na ariũ eerĩ.
Then fleed Moses at that sayenge and was a stranger in the londe of Madian where he begat two sonnes.
30 “Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna yarĩkia gũthira-rĩ, mũraika akiumĩrĩra Musa arĩ nĩnĩmbĩ-inĩ cia mwaki iria ciakanaga kĩhinga-inĩ kũu werũ-inĩ hakuhĩ na Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai.
And when. xl. yeares were expired ther appered to him in the wyldernes of mounte Syna an angell of the Lorde in a flamme of fyre in a busshe.
31 Rĩrĩa onire ũguo, akĩgega nĩ kĩrĩa onire. Na rĩrĩa aakuhagĩrĩria nĩguo one wega-rĩ, akĩigua mũgambo wa Mwathani ũkiuga atĩrĩ:
When Moses sawe it he wondred at the syght. And as he drue neare to beholde the voyce of the Lorde came vnto him:
32 ‘Niĩ nĩ niĩ Ngai wa maithe manyu, Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, o na Jakubu.’ Musa akĩinaina nĩ gwĩtigĩra na ndaigana kũrora.
I am ye God of thy fathers the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Iacob. Moses trembled and durst not beholde.
33 “Nake Mwathani akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ruta iraatũ ciaku, nĩgũkorwo hau ũrũgamĩte nĩ handũ hatheru.
Then sayde ye Lorde to him: Put of thy showes from thy fete for the place where thou stondest is holy grounde.
34 Ti-itherũ nĩnyonete kũhinyĩrĩrio kwa andũ akwa kũu bũrũri wa Misiri. Nĩnjiguĩte gũcaaya kwao, na nĩnjikũrũkĩte thĩ nĩguo ndĩmohorithie. Rĩu ũka nĩngũgũtũma ũcooke Misiri.’
I have perfectly sene the affliccion of my people which is in Egypte and I have hearde their gronynge and am come doune to delyver them. And now come and I will sende the into Egypte.
35 “Ũyũ nowe Musa ũrĩa maaregete makiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũgũtuĩte mwathi witũ na mũtũciirithia?’ Ngai we mwene nĩamũtũmire atuĩke mũnene na mũkũũri wao, na ũndũ wa mũraika ũrĩa wamuumĩrĩire kĩhinga-inĩ.
This Moses whom they forsoke sayinge: who made the a ruelar and a iudge: the same God sent bothe a ruler and delyverer by ye hondes of the angell which appered to him in the busshe.
36 Akĩmatongoria makiuma Misiri na agĩĩka morirũ na akĩringa ciama arĩ kũu Misiri, o na Iria-inĩ Itune, na ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna kũu werũ-inĩ.
And the same brought them out shewynge wonders and signes in Egypte and in the reed see and in the wyldernes. xl. yeares.
37 “Ũyũ nowe Musa ũrĩa werire andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai nĩakamũtũmĩra mũnabii ta niĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ anyu kĩũmbe.’
This is that Moses which sayde vnto the chyldre of Israel: A Prophet shall the Lorde youre God rayse vp vnto you of youre brethren lyke vnto me him shall ye heare.
38 We aarĩ kĩũngano-inĩ kũu werũ-inĩ, arĩ hamwe na mũraika ũrĩa wamwarĩirie Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Sinai, na aarĩ hamwe na maithe maitũ; nake nĩamũkĩrire ciugo irĩ muoyo nĩgeetha atũkinyĩrie.
This is he that was in ye congregacion in the wyldernes with the angell which spake to him in ye moute Syna and with oure fathers. This man receaved the worde of lyfe to geve vnto vs
39 “No rĩrĩ, maithe maitũ nĩmaregire kũmwathĩkĩra. Handũ ha ũguo-rĩ, o makĩmũrega, na thĩinĩ wa ngoro ciao makĩĩrirĩria gũcooka Misiri.

40 Nao makĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, ‘Tũthondekere ngai iria irĩtũtongoragia. Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũyũ ũgwĩtwo Musa, ũrĩa watũtongoririe tũkiuma bũrũri wa Misiri, tũtiũĩ ũrĩa onete!’
sayinge vnto Aaron: Make vs goddes to goo before vs. For this Moses that brought vs out of the londe of Egypte we wote not what is become of him.
