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.

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 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.

And the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle 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.”

And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

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 saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

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

And he said, Draw not near here: put off your shoes from off your feet, for the place where on you stand 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.

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 on 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.

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 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.

And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good land and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

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

Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me: and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress 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 you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth 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?”

And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth 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 said, Certainly I will be with you; and this shall be a token to you, that I have sent you: When you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.

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?”

And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say to them?

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

And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to 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 said moreover to Moses, Thus shall you say to 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 to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

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 say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen 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.’

And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.

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.’

And they shall listen to your voice: and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us: and now let us go, we beseech you, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to 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.

And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

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.

And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the middle thereof: and after that he will let you go.

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

And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when you go, you shall not go empty.

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.”

But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that sojourns in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters; and you shall spoil the Egyptians.
