Exodus 3

1 Sie len ke Moses el karingin sheep ac nani natul Jethro, su papa tumun mutan kial ac el mwet tol lun Midian, el pwanla kosro inge alukela yen mwesis ac sun eol mutal Sinai.

And Moses has been feeding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, priest of Midian, and he leads the flock behind the wilderness, and comes to the mountain of God, to Horeb;

2 Lipufan se lun LEUM GOD sikyang nu sel we in luman sie e ma tuku liki infulwen sak srisrik soko. Moses el lut ke el liye lah sak soko ah firir a tiana firirla.

and the Messenger of YHWH appears to him in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he sees, and behold, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.

3 El nunku sel, “Mea na usrnguk se inge? Efu sak soko inge ku tia firirla? Nga ac kuhfla nu kac ngan liye.”

And Moses says, “Now I turn aside and see this great appearance. Why is the bush not burned?”

4 Ke LEUM GOD El liye lah Moses el kalukyang, El pang nu sel liki infulwen sak soko ah, “Moses! Moses!” El topuk, “Nga pa inge.”

And YHWH sees that he has turned aside to see, and God calls to him out of the midst of the bush and says, “Moses! Moses!” And he says, “Here I [am].”

5 Na God El fahk, “Tu na insacn. Sarukla fahluk lom an, mweyen kom tu fin fohk mutal.

And He says, “Do not come near here. Cast your shoes from off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”

6 Nga pa God lun papa matu tomom — God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.” Ouinge Moses el afinya mutal, mweyen el arulana sangeng in ngetang nu sin God.

He also says, “I [am] the God of your father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob”; and Moses hides his face, for he is afraid to look toward God.

7 Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga liye lupan keok lun mwet luk fin acn Egypt. Nga lohng pusren tung lalos ke elos wowoyak tuh in moliyukla elos liki inpoun mwet su akkohsyelos. Nga kalem ke lupan keok lalos.

And YHWH says, “I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;

8 Na pa nga oatume in molelosla liki mwet Egypt ac usalosme liki acn we nu ke sie facl lulap, sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we, su mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus muta we inge.

and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land to a land good and broad, to a land flowing with milk and honey—to the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

9 Pwayena nga lohng pusren tung lun mwet luk, ac nga liye lupan sulallal lun mwet Egypt nu selos.

And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,

10 Inge nga ac supwekomla nu yurin tokosra lun Egypt tuh kom in ku in kolla mwet luk liki facl sel.”

and now, come, and I send you to Pharaoh; and bring out My people, the sons of Israel, from Egypt.”

11 Tuh Moses el fahk nu sin God, “Ku su nga uh, tuh nga in som nu yorol tokosra ac usla mwet Israel liki acn Egypt?”

And Moses says to God, “Who [am] I, that I go to Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?”

12 God El topuk, “Nga ac fah wi kom, ac pacl se kom use mwet uh liki acn Egypt kowos ac fah alu nu sik fin eol soko inge. Pa inge mwe akpwayei lah nga pa supwekomla.”

And He says, “Because I am with you, and this [is] the sign to you that I have sent you: in your bringing out the people from Egypt—you serve God on this mountain.”

13 Na Moses el fahk nu sin God, “Ke nga ac som nu yurin mwet Israel ac fahk nu selos, ‘God lun papa tomowos uh pa supweyume nu yuruwos,’ elos ac fah siyuk sik, ‘Su inel an?’ Na mea nga ac fahk nu selos?”

And Moses says to God, “Behold, I am coming to the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they have said to me, What [is] His Name? What do I say to them?”

14 God El fahk, “Nga Nuna Nga Ah Na. Kom fah fahk nu selos, ‘El su pangpang NGA, pa supweyume nu yuruwos.’

And God says to Moses, “I AM THAT WHICH I AM.” He also says, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.”

15 Fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah nga, LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos somla — God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob — pa supwekom nu yorolos. Pa inge Inek nwe tok, ac fwil nukewa fahsru uh ac fah pangonyu ouinge.

And God says again to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: YHWH, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this [is] My Name for all time, and this [is] My memorial, to generation [and] generation.

16 Som ac orani mwet kol lun Israel nu sie, ac fahk nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumalos — God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob — pa sikwot nu sum. Fahk nu selos lah nga tuku nu yorolos tari ac nga liye ma mwet Egypt oru nu selos.

Go, and you have gathered the elderly of Israel, and have said to them: YHWH, God of your fathers, has appeared to me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;

17 Nga sulela tari lah nga ac usalosla liki facl Egypt, yen akkeokyeyuk elos we, ac nga fah usalos nu in sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we — facl sin mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus.

and I say [that] I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

18 “Mwet luk elos ac fah porongo ma kom fahk nu selos. Na kom, ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel, fah som nu yurin tokosra lun Egypt ac fahk nu sel, ‘LEUM GOD lun mwet Hebrew El sikme nu sesr. Inge lela nu sesr kut in fahsr ke len tolu nu yen mwesis in oru mwe kisa lasr nu sin LEUM GOD lasr.’

And they have listened to your voice, and you have entered, you and [the] elderly of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH.

19 Nga arulana etu lah tokosra lun Egypt fah tia lela kowos in som nwe ke na po ku lun God akkeokyal.

And I have known that the king of Egypt does not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,

20 Tusruktu nga ac orekmakin ku luk in kai Egypt ke mwe aksangeng lulap. Tukun ma inge el ac fah filikowosla.

and I have put forth My hand, and have struck Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst—and afterward he sends you away.

21 “Nga fah oru mwet Egypt in akfulatye kowos, tuh pacl mwet luk uh ac som elos fah tia pisinpo.

And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it has come to pass, when you go, you do not go empty;

22 Mutan Israel nukewa fah som nu yurin mwet tulan Egypt lalos, oayapa yurin mutan Egypt su muta in lohm selos, ac siyuk nuknuk ac mwe yun gold ac silver selos. Na mwet Israel fah filiya ma inge fin wen ac acn natulos. Ouinge elos ac fah usla mwe kasrup lun mwet Egypt.”

and [every] woman has asked from her neighbor, and from her who is sojourning in her house, [for] vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and you have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.”
