Thaama 3
1 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.
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.
2 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.
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto 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.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũthiĩ ho nĩgeetha nyone ũndũ ũyũ mũgeni, menye kĩrĩa kĩragiria kĩhinga kĩhĩe.”
And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 Rĩrĩa Jehova onire atĩ nĩathiĩ hau gũcũthĩrĩria, Ngai akĩmwĩta arĩ kĩhinga-inĩ, “Musa! Musa!” Nake Musa agĩĩtĩka, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 Nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgakuhĩrĩrie haha. Ruta iraatũ ciaku magũrũ, nĩgũkorwo handũ hau ũrũgamĩte nĩ handũ hatheru.”
And he said, Draw not nigh here: put off your shoes from off your feet, for the place whereon you stand is holy ground.
6 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.
Moreover he said, I am the God of your 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.
7 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.
And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
8 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.
And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9 Na rĩu kĩrĩro kĩa andũ a Isiraeli nĩkĩnginyĩire, na nĩnyonete ũrĩa andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri maramahinyĩrĩria.
Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, thiĩ. Ndĩragũtũma kũrĩ Firaũni ũkarute andũ akwa a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri.”
Come now therefore, and I will send you unto Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 No Musa akĩũria Ngai atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ ũ wa gũthiĩ kwa Firaũni ngarute andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri?”
And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 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.”
And he said, Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be a token unto you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, all of you shall serve God upon this mountain.
13 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?”
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers has sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 Ngai akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “NIĨ NDŨIRE O TA ŨRĨA NDŨIRE. Ĩra andũ a Isiraeli atĩrĩ, Ũrĩa wĩtagwo ‘NIĨ NDŨIRE nĩwe ũndũmĩte kũrĩ inyuĩ.’”
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, I AM has sent me unto you.
15 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.
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shall you say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
16 “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,
Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
17 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.’
And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
18 “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.’
And they shall hearken to your voice: and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and all of you shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us: and now let us go, we plead to you, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
19 No nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mũthamaki ũcio wa bũrũri wa Misiri ndakamwĩtĩkĩria mũthiĩ, tiga guoko gwakwa kwa hinya kũmũhatĩrĩirie gwĩka ũguo.
And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngatambũrũkia guoko gwakwa hũũre andũ a Misiri na maũndũ mothe ma magegania marĩa ngeeka thĩinĩ wao. Thuutha ũcio, nĩakamwĩtĩkĩria mũthiĩ.
And I will stretch out my hand, and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
21 “Na nĩngatũma mwĩtĩkĩrĩke nĩ andũ a Misiri, nĩgeetha rĩrĩa mũkoimagara, mũtikanathiĩ moko matheri.
And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when all of you go, all of you shall not go empty.
22 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.”
But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and all of you shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and all of you shall spoil the Egyptians.
