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.

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, [even] 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 angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush [was] 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 said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

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 when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here [am] I.

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

And he said, Approach not hither: put off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place on which thou standest [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.

Moreover 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 upon 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 the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people who [are] in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task-masters; for I know their sorrows;

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 am come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, to a good land, and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

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

Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me: and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

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

Come now therefore, and I will send thee to Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of 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 said to God, Who [am] I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of 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 said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall be] a token to thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon 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 said to God, Behold, [when] I come to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me to you; and they shall say to me, What [is] his name? What shall 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 said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM: And he said, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, I AM hath 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 said, moreover, to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: this [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my memorial to all generations.

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 assemble the elders of Israel, and say to them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you, and [seen] 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 have said, I will bring you out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, 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 shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go (we beseech thee) three days journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

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

And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

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

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

And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that when ye go, ye shall 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.”

But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that dwelleth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put [them] upon your sons, and upon your daughters: and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
