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.
And Moses was keeping the flock of Jithro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock far away into the desert, and came to the mountain of God, to Choreb.
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 an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thorn-bush; and he looked, and, behold, the thorn-bush was burning with fire, but the thorn-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 must turn aside, and see this great sight, why the thorn-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 unto him out of the midst of the thorn-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 nigh hither; put off thy shoes from off thy feet; 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.
And he said, I am the God of thy 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 up to 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 truly seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard its cry by reason of its taskmasters; yea, I know its 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 it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring it up out of that land unto a land, good and large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Emorites, 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 unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith 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.”
And now then go, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, and thou shalt 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 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 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, Because I will be with thee; and this shall be unto thee the token, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon 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 unto God, Behold, if I come unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they then say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 Chineke sịrị Mosis, “ABỤ M ONYE M BỤ. Naanị gwa ụmụ Izrel na ‘ABỤ M zitere gị.’”
And God said unto Moses, I will be that I will be: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I will be hath sent me unto 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 unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Everlasting One, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto 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 assemble the elders of Israel, and say unto them, The Everlasting One, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying, I have surely taken cognizance of you and of 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, unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto 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 will hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The Everlasting One, the God of the Hebrews hath met with us; and now let us go, we beseech thee, a 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.
But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, unless it happen through 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 midst 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 eyes of the Egyptians; and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye 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 ask of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments; and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall empty out Egypt.
