Ọpụpụ 3

1 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.

When Moses kept the sheepe of Iethro his father in lawe, Priest of Midian, and droue the flocke to the backe side of the desert, and came to the Mountaine of God, Horeb,

2 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.

Then the Angel of the Lord appeared vnto him in a flame of fire, out of the middes of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3 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.”

Therefore Moses saide, I will turne aside nowe, and see this great sight, why the bush burneth not.

4 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.”

And when the Lord sawe that he turned aside to see, God called vnto him out of the middes of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he answered, I am here.

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

Then he saide, Come not hither, put thy shooes off thy feete: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

6 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.

Moreouer he saide, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob. Then Moses hid his face: for he was afraid to looke vpon God.

7 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.

Then the Lord said, I haue surely seene the trouble of my people, which are in Egypt, and haue heard their crie, because of their taskemasters: for I knowe their sorowes.

8 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.

Therefore I am come downe to deliuer them out of the hande of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that lande into a good lande and a large, into a lande that floweth with milke and honie, euen into the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites.

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

And now lo, the crie of the children of Israel is come vnto me, and I haue also seene ye oppression, wherewith the Egyptians oppresse them.

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

Come now therefore, and I will send thee vnto Pharaoh, that thou maiest bring my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

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

But Moses said vnto God, Who am I, that I should go vnto Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?

12 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.”

And he answered, Certainely I will be with thee: and this shall be a token vnto thee, that I haue sent thee, After that thou hast brought the people out of Egypt, ye shall serue God vpon this Mountaine.

13 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?”

Then Moses said vnto God, Behold, when I shall come vnto the children of Israel, and shall say vnto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me vnto you: if they say vnto me, What is his Name? what shall I say vnto them?

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

And God answered Moses, I Am That I Am. Also he said, Thus shalt thou say vnto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me vnto you.

15 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.

And God spake further vnto Moses, Thus shalt thou say vnto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath sent me vnto you: this is my Name for euer, and this is my memoriall vnto all ages.

16 “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.

Go and gather the Elders of Israel together, and thou shalt say vnto the, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob appeared vnto me, and said, I haue surely remembred you, and that which is done to you in Egypt.

17 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.’

Therefore I did say, I wil bring you out of the affliction of Egypt vnto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, vnto a lande that floweth with milke and honie.

18 “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.’

Then shall they obey thy voyce, and thou and the Elders of Israel shall go vnto the King of Egypt, and say vnto him, The Lord God of the Ebrewes hath met with vs: we pray thee nowe therefore, let vs goe three dayes iourney in the wildernesse, that we may sacrifice vnto the Lord our God.

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

But I know, that the King of Egypt wil not let you goe, but by strong hande.

20 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.

Therefore will I stretch out mine hande and smite Egypt with all my wonders, which I will doe in the middes thereof: and after that shall he let you goe.

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

And I will make this people to be fauoured of the Egyptians: so that when ye go, ye shall not goe emptie.

22 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.”

For euery woman shall aske of her neighbour, and of her that soiourneth in her house, iewels of siluer and iewels of gold and raiment, and ye shall put them on your sonnes, and on your daughters, and shall spoyle the Egyptians.
