Okuva 6

1 Awo Mukama n’addamu Musa nti, “Kaakano ojja kulaba kye nnaakola Falaawo. Kubanga alibaleka ne bagenda olw’amaanyi, era olw’amaanyi alibagoba mu nsi ye.”

And the Lord said to Moses, Now you will see what I am about to do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand he will be forced to let them go, driving them out of his land because of my outstretched arm.

2 Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Nze Mukama.

And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh:

3 Nalabikira Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo nga Katonda Ayinzabyonna; kyokka saabategeeza linnya lyange nti Nze Mukama.

I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

4 Era nabasuubiza mu ndagaano yange okubawa ensi ya Kanani, gye baabeerangamu ng’abagwira abatambuze.

And I made an agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their wanderings.

5 Kaakano mpulidde okusinda kw’abaana ba Isirayiri abatuntuzibwa Abamisiri mu buddu, ne nzijukira endagaano yange.

And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke; and I have kept in mind my agreement.

6 “Noolwekyo tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Nze Mukama. Ndibatikkulako emigugu gy’Abamisiri, era ndibawonya obuddu, ne mbanunula n’omukono gwange ogw’amaanyi nga nsalira Abamisiri omusango.

Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.

7 Ndibafuula abantu bange, era nnaabeeranga Katonda wammwe, era mulitegeera nga nze Mukama Katonda wammwe abawonyezza ebizibu by’Abamisiri.

And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God; and you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, who takes you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

8 Ndibaleeta mu nsi gye nalayira okuwa Ibulayimu ne Isaaka ne Yakobo; ndigibawa n’efuuka yammwe. Nze Mukama.’”

And I will be your guide into the land which I made an oath to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for your heritage: I am Yahweh.

9 Musa n’ategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri ebigambo ebyo. Naye tebaamuwuliriza, kubanga emitima gyali gibennyise, nga n’okutuntuzibwa kubayitiridde.

And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, but they gave no attention to him, because of the grief of their spirit and the cruel weight of their work.

10 Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,

And the Lord said to Moses,

11 “Genda otegeeze Falaawo kabaka w’e Misiri aleke abaana ba Isirayiri bave mu nsi ye.”

Go in and say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he is to let the children of Israel go out of his land.

12 Naye Musa n’addamu Mukama nti, “Laba, abaana ba Isirayiri bagaanyi okumpuliriza, kale Falaawo anampuliriza atya nze atayogera bulungi?”

And Moses, answering the Lord, said, See, the children of Israel will not give ear to me; how then will Pharaoh give ear to me, whose lips are unclean?

13 Naye Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa ne Alooni, n’abalagira bategeeze abaana ba Isirayiri ne Falaawo nti, Mukama abalagidde okuggya abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi y’e Misiri.

And the word of the Lord came to Moses and Aaron, with orders for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

And Amram took Jochebed, his father's sister, as wife; and she gave birth to Aaron and Moses: and the years of Amram's life were a hundred and thirty-seven.

And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel; and she gave birth to Phinehas. These are the heads of the families of the Levites, in the order of their families.

26 Abo ye Alooni ne Musa Mukama be yalagira nti, “Muggyeeyo abaana ba Isirayiri bonna mu nsi y’e Misiri.”

These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, Take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt in their armies.

27 Be bo abaayogera ne Falaawo, kabaka w’e Misiri, ku by’okuggyayo abaana ba Isirayiri mu Misiri. Ye Musa oyo, ne Alooni oyo.

These are the men who gave orders to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of Egypt: these are the same Moses and Aaron.

28 Ku lunaku olwo Mukama kwe yayogerera ne Musa mu nsi y’e Misiri,

And on the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 Mukama yagamba Musa nti, “Nze Mukama. Tegeeza Falaawo, kabaka w’e Misiri, buli kimu kyonna kye nkugamba.”

The Lord said to Moses, I am the Lord: say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything I am saying to you.

30 Naye Musa n’addamu Mukama nti, “Nze atamanyi kwogera bulungi, Falaawo anampuliriza atya?”

And Moses said to the Lord, My lips are unclean; how is it possible that Pharaoh will give me a hearing?
