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'?”
And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, Jehovah has not appeared to thee.
2 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Ania dayta adda dita imam?” Kinuna ni Moises, “Maysa a baston.”
And Jehovah said to him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A staff.
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.
And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before 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.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand and take it by the tail — and he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff 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.”
that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
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.
And Jehovah said moreover to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom, and took it out, and behold, his hand was leprous, 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.
And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again, and took it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his 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.
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the other 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.”
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also those two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour [it] on the dry [land]; and the water that thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon 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.”
And Moses said to Jehovah, Ah Lord! I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken to thy 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?
And Jehovah said to him, Who gave man a mouth? or who maketh dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? [have] not I, Jehovah?
12 Isu nga ita mapanka, ket addaakto iti ngiwatmo ken isurokto kenka ti ibagam.”
And now go, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
13 Ngem kinuna ni Moises,” Apo, pangngaasim mangibaonka laengen iti sabali, siasinoman a kayatmo nga ibaon.”
And he said, Ah Lord! send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send.
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.
Then the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also behold, he goeth out to meet thee; and when he seeth thee he will be glad in his heart.
15 Makisaritakanto kenkuana ket ibagam dagiti sawenna. Tulongankayonto nga agsao, ket ipakitakto kadakayo a dua ti aramidenyo.
And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
16 Agsaonto isuna kadagiti tattao para kenka. Isunanto ti pannakangiwatmo, ken addakanto kenkuana a kas kaniak, ti Dios.
And he shall speak for thee unto the people; and it shall come to pass that he shall be to thee for a mouth, and thou shalt be to him for God.
17 Itugotmonto daytoy a baston. Babaen iti daytoy, agaramidkanto kadagiti pagilasinan.”
And thou shalt take this staff in thy hand, with which thou shalt 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.”
And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, that I may see whether they are yet alive. And 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.
And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought thy life.
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.
And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them riding upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God 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.
And Jehovah said to Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put in thy hand. And I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
22 Masapul nga ibagam kenni Faraon, 'Daytoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh: Anakko ni Israel, ti inauna nga anakko,
And thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah: 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 say to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me. And if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
24 Ita, iti dalan, idi nagsardengda iti rabii, sinabat ni Yahweh ni Moises ket dandanina pinatay isuna.
And it came to pass on the way, in the inn, that Jehovah came upon him, and sought to slay 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 stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, A bloody husband indeed art thou to me!
26 Isu a binaybay-anen ni Yahweh isuna nga agmaymaysa. Kinunana, “Asawaka iti dara” gapu iti pannakakugit.
And he let him go. Then she said, A bloody husband — 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.
And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of God, 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.
And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah who had sent him, and all the signs that he had commanded him.
29 Kalpasanna, inummong ni Moises ken Aaron dagiti amin a panglakayen dagiti Israelita.
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered 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.
and Aaron spoke all the words that Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs before the eyes of the people.
31 Namati dagiti tattao. Idi nangngegda a pinaliiw ni Yahweh dagiti Israelita ken nakitana dagiti pannakaparparigatda, ket nagdumogda ken nagrukbabda kenkuana.
And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
