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.
And Moses has been feeding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, priest of Midian, and he leads the flock behind the wilderness, and comes to the mountain of God, 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 Messenger of YHWH appears to him in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he sees, and behold, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũthiĩ ho nĩgeetha nyone ũndũ ũyũ mũgeni, menye kĩrĩa kĩragiria kĩhinga kĩhĩe.”
And Moses says, “Now I turn aside and see this great appearance. Why is the bush not burned?”
4 Rĩrĩa Jehova onire atĩ nĩathiĩ hau gũcũthĩrĩria, Ngai akĩmwĩta arĩ kĩhinga-inĩ, “Musa! Musa!” Nake Musa agĩĩtĩka, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ũyũ haha.”
And YHWH sees that he has turned aside to see, and God calls to him out of the midst of the bush and says, “Moses! Moses!” And he says, “Here I [am].”
5 Nake Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndũgakuhĩrĩrie haha. Ruta iraatũ ciaku magũrũ, nĩgũkorwo handũ hau ũrũgamĩte nĩ handũ hatheru.”
And He says, “Do not come near here. Cast your shoes from off your feet, for the place on which you are standing 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.
He also says, “I [am] the God of your father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob”; and Moses hides his face, for he is afraid to look toward 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 YHWH says, “I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;
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 go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land to a land good and broad, to a land flowing with milk and honey—to the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
9 Na rĩu kĩrĩro kĩa andũ a Isiraeli nĩkĩnginyĩire, na nĩnyonete ũrĩa andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri maramahinyĩrĩria.
And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, thiĩ. Ndĩragũtũma kũrĩ Firaũni ũkarute andũ akwa a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri.”
and now, come, and I send you to Pharaoh; and bring out My people, the sons of Israel, from Egypt.”
11 No Musa akĩũria Ngai atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ ũ wa gũthiĩ kwa Firaũni ngarute andũ a Isiraeli moime bũrũri wa Misiri?”
And Moses says to God, “Who [am] I, that I go to Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from 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 says, “Because I am with you, and this [is] the sign to you that I have sent you: in your bringing out the people from Egypt—you serve God on 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 says to God, “Behold, I am coming to the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they have said to me, What [is] His Name? What do I say to 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 says to Moses, “I AM THAT WHICH I AM.” He also says, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: I AM has sent me to 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 says again to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: YHWH, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this [is] My Name for all time, and this [is] My memorial, to generation [and] generation.
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 you have gathered the elderly of Israel, and have said to them: YHWH, God of your fathers, has appeared to me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and 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 say [that] I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to 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 have listened to your voice, and you have entered, you and [the] elderly of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH.
19 No nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mũthamaki ũcio wa bũrũri wa Misiri ndakamwĩtĩkĩria mũthiĩ, tiga guoko gwakwa kwa hinya kũmũhatĩrĩirie gwĩka ũguo.
And I have known that the king of Egypt does not permit you to go, unless by a strong 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 have put forth My hand, and have struck Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst—and afterward he sends you away.
21 “Na nĩngatũma mwĩtĩkĩrĩke nĩ andũ a Misiri, nĩgeetha rĩrĩa mũkoimagara, mũtikanathiĩ moko matheri.
And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it has come to pass, when you go, you do 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.”
and [every] woman has asked from her neighbor, and from her who is sojourning in her house, [for] vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and you have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.”
