Exodo 4
1 Simmungbat ni Moises, “Ngem kasano no saanda a mamati kaniak wenno dumngeg kaniak ngem ibagada ketdi, 'Saan a nagparang ni Yahweh kenka'?”
Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’”
2 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Ania dayta adda dita imam?” Kinuna ni Moises, “Maysa a baston.”
The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”
3 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Ipuruakmo daytoy iti daga.” Impuruak daytoy ni Moises iti daga, ket nagbalin daytoy nga uleg. Nagsanud ni Moises manipud iti daytoy.
He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.
4 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Pidutem ken alaem daytoy babaen iti ipusna.” Isu a pinidutna ken ineggamanna ti uleg. Nagbalin manen daytoy a baston iti imana.
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.
5 “Daytoy ket tapno mamatida a ni Yahweh, ti Dios dagiti kapuonanda, ti Dios ni Abraham, ti Dios ni Isaac, ken ti Dios ni Jacob, ket nagparang kenka.”
“This is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
6 Kinuna pay ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Ita iyunegmo ta imam iti pagan-anaymo.” Inyuneg ngarud ni Moises ti imana iti pagan-anayna. Idi inruarna daytoy, adtoy, adda ketong ti imana, a kas kapuraw ti niebe.
The LORD said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.
7 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “Iyunegmo manen ta imam iti pagan-anaymo.” Isu nga inyuneg ni Moises ti imana iti pagan-anayna, ket idi inruarna daytoy, nakitana a nagsubli manen ti kinasalun-atna, a kas kadagiti dadduma a lasagna.
He said, “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.
8 Kinuna ni Yahweh, “No saandaka a patien—no saanda nga ipangag ti umuna a pagilasinan ti pannakabalinko wenno mamati iti daytoy, ket mamatidanto iti maikadua a pagilasinan.
“It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
9 Ket no saanda a mamati uray kadagitoy a dua a pagilasinan ti pannakabalinko, wenno dumngeg kenka, ket mangalaka iti danum manipud ti karayan ket ibukbokmo daytoy iti namaga a daga. Ti alaem a danum ket agbalinto a dara iti namaga a daga.”
It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.”
10 Kalpasanna, kinuna ni Moises kenni Yahweh, “Apo, saanak a pulos a nalaing nga agsao, uray pay iti napalabas wenno manipud idi nagsaoka iti adipenmo. Nabannayatak nga agsao ken natabbed ti dilak.”
Moses said to the LORD, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”
11 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Siasino ti nangaramid iti ngiwat iti tao? Siasino ti mangar-aramid nga umel wenno tuleng wenno makakita wenno bulsek ti maysa a tao? Saan kadi a Siak, ni Yahweh?
The LORD said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is not it I, the LORD?
12 Isu nga ita mapanka, ket addaakto iti ngiwatmo ken isurokto kenka ti ibagam.”
Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”
13 Ngem kinuna ni Moises,” Apo, pangngaasim mangibaonka laengen iti sabali, siasinoman a kayatmo nga ibaon.”
Moses said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”
14 Ket nakaunget ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Kinunana, “Ni ngay Aaron, a kabsatmo, ti Levita? Ammok a nalaing isuna nga agsao. Maysa pay, um-umayen isuna a mangsabat kenka, ket no makitanaka, maragsakanto ti pusona.
The LORD’s anger burned against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15 Makisaritakanto kenkuana ket ibagam dagiti sawenna. Tulongankayonto nga agsao, ket ipakitakto kadakayo a dua ti aramidenyo.
You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.
16 Agsaonto isuna kadagiti tattao para kenka. Isunanto ti pannakangiwatmo, ken addakanto kenkuana a kas kaniak, ti Dios.
He will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.
17 Itugotmonto daytoy a baston. Babaen iti daytoy, agaramidkanto kadagiti pagilasinan.”
You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”
18 Isu a nagsubli ni Moises kenni Jetro a katuganganna ket kinunana kenkuana, “Palubosannak a mapan tapno makasubliak kadagiti kakabaggiak nga adda idiay Egipto ket kitaek no sibibiagda pay.” Kinuna ni Jetro kenni Moises, “Mapanka nga addaan iti kapia.”
Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
19 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises diay Midian, “Mapanka, agsublika idiay Egipto, gapu ta natayen dagiti amin a tattao a mangpangpanggep a mangpatay kenka.
The LORD said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”
20 Intugot ni Moises ti asawana ken dagiti annakna ket insakayna ida iti asno. Nagsubli isuna iti daga iti Egipto. Ket intugotna ti baston ti Dios.
Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod in his hand.
21 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Inton agsublika idiay Egipto, kitaem a maaramidmo iti sangoanan ni Faraon dagiti amin a nakakaskasdaaw nga inkabilko iti pannakabalinmo. Ngem patangkenekto ti pusona, ket saannanto a palubosan a mapan dagiti tattao.
The LORD said to Moses, “When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.
22 Masapul nga ibagam kenni Faraon, 'Daytoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh: Anakko ni Israel, ti inauna nga anakko,
You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘The LORD says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
23 ket ibagak kenka, “Palubosam a mapan ti anakko, tapno maidaydayawnak.” Ngem agsipud ta nagkedkedka a mangpalubos kenkuana, papatayekto ti anakmo, ti inauna nga anakmo.”'
and I have said to you, “Let my son go, that he may serve me;” and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”
24 Ita, iti dalan, idi nagsardengda iti rabii, sinabat ni Yahweh ni Moises ket dandanina pinatay isuna.
On the way at a lodging place, the LORD met Moses and wanted to kill him.
25 Kalpasanna, nangala ni Sefora iti natadem a bato ket kinugitna ti anakna, ken insagidna daytoy iti saka ni Moises. Ket kinunana, “Awan dua-dua a sika ti asawak babaen ti dara.”
Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”
26 Isu a binaybay-anen ni Yahweh isuna nga agmaymaysa. Kinunana, “Asawaka iti dara” gapu iti pannakakugit.
So he let him alone. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
27 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Aaron, “Mapanka idiay let-ang a makisinnabat kenni Moises.” Napan ni Aaron, nakitana isuna idiay bantay ti Dios, ket inagkanna isuna.
The LORD said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” He went, and met him on God’s mountain, and kissed him.
28 Imbaga ni Moises kenni Aaron dagiti amin a sasao nga imbaga ni Yahweh kenkuana nga ibagana ken maipanggep kadagiti amin a pagilasinan ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh nga imbilinna kenkuana nga aramidenna.
Moses told Aaron all the LORD’s words with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.
29 Kalpasanna, inummong ni Moises ken Aaron dagiti amin a panglakayen dagiti Israelita.
Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.
30 Insao ni Aaron dagiti amin a sasao nga imbaga ni Yahweh kenni Moises. Impakitana pay dagiti pagilasinan ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh iti imatang dagiti tattao.
Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
31 Namati dagiti tattao. Idi nangngegda a pinaliiw ni Yahweh dagiti Israelita ken nakitana dagiti pannakaparparigatda, ket nagdumogda ken nagrukbabda kenkuana.
The people believed, and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
