Eksodosy 3
1 Ary Mosesy niandry ny ondry aman’ osin’ i Jetro rafozany, mpisorona tao Midiana, dia nitondra ny ondry aman’ osy tany ankoatry ny efitra ka nankany Horeba, tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra.
And Moses was keeping the flock of Jithro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock far away into the desert, and came to the mountain of God, to Choreb.
2 Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah niseho taminy teo anaty lelafo teo amin’ ny roimemy anankiray; dia nijery izy, ka, indro, nirehitra afo ny roimemy, kanefa tsy nahalevonana.
And an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thorn-bush; and he looked, and, behold, the thorn-bush was burning with fire, but the thorn-bush was not consumed.
3 Ary hoy Mosesy: Hivily kely aho ka hizaha io fahitana lehibe io, hahafantarako izay tsy ahalevonan’ ny roimemy.
And Moses said, I must turn aside, and see this great sight, why the thorn-bush is not burnt.
4 Ary rehefa hitan’ i Jehovah fa nivily hizaha izy, dia niantso azy tao afovoan’ ny roimemy Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Ry Mosesy, ry Mosesy! Dia hoy izy: Inty aho.
And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see God called unto him out of the midst of the thorn-bush, and said, Moses, Moses; and he said, Here am I.
5 Ary hoy Izy: Aza manakaiky etỳ; esory ny kapanao amin’ ny tongotrao, fa tany masìna io ijanonanao io.
And he said, Draw not nigh hither; put off thy shoes from off thy feet; for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
6 Dia hoy koa Izy: Izaho no Andriamanitry ny razanao, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr’ Isaka ary Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba. Dia nisaron-tava Mosesy, fa natahotra hijery an’ Andriamanitra izy.
And 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 up to God.
7 Ary hoy Jehovah: Efa hitako tokoa ny fahorian’ ny oloko izay any Egypta, ary efa reko ny fitarainany noho ny ataon’ ny mpampiasa azy; eny, fantatro ny alahelony;
And the Lord said, I have truly seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard its cry by reason of its taskmasters; yea, I know its sorrows;
8 dia efa nidina Aho izao hamonjy azy amin’ ny tanan’ ny Egyptiana ka hitondra azy hiakatra hiala amin’ izany tany izany ho any amin’ izay tany soa sy malalaka, dia any amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely, any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita.
And I am come down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring it up out of that land unto a land, good and large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
9 Ary ankehitriny, indro, ny fitarainan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia efa mby atỳ amiko, sady efa hitako koa ny fahoriana izay ampahorian’ ny Egyptiana azy.
Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
10 Koa avia ankehitriny ianao hirahiko ho any amin’ i Farao hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely oloko hivoaka avy any Egypta.
And now then go, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, and thou shalt bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
11 Fa hoy Mosesy tamin’ Andriamanitra: Iza moa aho no hankany amin’ i Farao sy hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely hivoaka avy any Egypta?
And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12 Ary hoy Izy: Homba anao tokoa Aho; ary izao no famantarana ho anao fa Izaho no efa naniraka anao; rehefa entinao mivoaka avy any Egypta ny olona, dia hanompo an’ Andriamanitra eto amin’ ity tendrombohitra ity ianareo.
And he said, Because I will be with thee; and this shall be unto thee the token, that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
13 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ Andriamanitra: Indro, rehefa tonga any amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely aho ka manao aminy hoe: Andriamanitry ny razanareo no efa naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminareo, ary hanao amiko hoe kosa izy: Iza moa no anarany? dia ahoana no havaliko azy?
And Moses said unto God, Behold, if I come unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they then say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
14 Ary hoy Andriamanitra tamin’ i Mosesy: IZAHO, IZAY IZY HATRIZAY HATRIZAY KA HO MANDRAKIZAY. Ary hoy koa Izy: Izao no holazainao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: IZAHO IZAY Izy no efa naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminareo.
And God said unto Moses, I will be that I will be: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I will be hath sent me unto you.
15 Ary hoy koa Andriamanitra tamin’ i Mosesy: Izao no holazainao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr’ i Isaka ary Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba, no efa naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminareo; izany no anarako mandrakizay, ary izany no hahatsiarovana Ahy hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Everlasting One, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
16 Mandehana, dia angòny ny loholon’ ny Isiraely, ka lazao aminy hoe: Efa niseho tamiko Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba, ka nanao hoe: Efa namangy anareo tokoa Aho ka nahita ny anaovana anareo atỳ Egypta;
Go, and assemble the elders of Israel, and say unto them, The Everlasting One, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, hath appeared unto me, saying, I have surely taken cognizance of you and of that which is done to you in Egypt:
17 ary hoy Izaho: Hitondra anareo hiakatra Aho ho afaka amin’ ny fahoriana atỳ Egypta ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita, ho any amin’ izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.
And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Emorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
18 Dia hihaino ny feonao izy; ary hankao amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta ianao sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely ka hilaza aminy hoe: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo, efa nihaona taminay; ary ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka handeha lalan-kateloana any an-efitra izahay mba hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray.
And they will hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The Everlasting One, the God of the Hebrews hath met with us; and now let us go, we beseech thee, a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.
19 Kanefa Izaho mahalala fa tsy havelan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta handeha ianareo, tsia, na dia amin’ ny tanana mahery aza.
But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, unless it happen through a mighty hand.
20 Dia haninjitra ny tanako Aho ka hamely an’ i Egypta amin’ ny fahagagana rehetra izay hataoko eo aminy; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao handefa anareo izy.
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 Ary hataoko mahita fitia eo imason’ ny Egyptiana ity firenena ity, ka raha handeha ianareo, dia tsy mba handeha maina;
And I will give this people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians; and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
22 fa ny vehivavy samy hangataka firavaka volafotsy sy volamena ary fitafiana amin’ ny miray monina aminy sy amin’ izay mivahiny ao an-tranony; dia hataonareo amin’ ny zanakareo-lahy sy ny zanakareo-vavy izany, ka dia hofoananareo ny Egyptiana.
But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments; and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall empty out Egypt.
