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 to my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared to thee.
2 Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Ania dayta adda dita imam?” Kinuna ni Moises, “Maysa a baston.”
And the LORD said to him, What is that in thy hand? And 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.
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 the LORD said to Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught 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.”
That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to 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 the LORD said furthermore to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, 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 drew it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was 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.
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 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.”
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken to thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which 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 the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before, nor since thou hast spoken to thy servant: but 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 the LORD said to him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not 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 thy mouth, and 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, O my 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.
And the anger of the LORD 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 cometh forth 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 to him, and put 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 to the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
17 Itugotmonto daytoy a baston. Babaen iti daytoy, agaramidkanto kadagiti pagilasinan.”
And thou shalt take this rod in thy hand, with which thou shalt perform 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, and 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 the LORD said to Moses in Midian, Go, return into 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 upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod 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 the LORD said to Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou perform all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thy hand: but 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 the LORD, Israel is my son, even 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 shalt refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
24 Ita, iti dalan, idi nagsardengda iti rabii, sinabat ni Yahweh ni Moises ket dandanina pinatay isuna.
And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought 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 sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
26 Isu a binaybay-anen ni Yahweh isuna nga agmaymaysa. Kinunana, “Asawaka iti dara” gapu iti pannakakugit.
So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, 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 the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount 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 the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
29 Kalpasanna, inummong ni Moises ken Aaron dagiti amin a panglakayen dagiti Israelita.
And 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.
And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and performed 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.
And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
