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 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 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 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 Ary hoy Mosesy: Hivily kely aho ka hizaha io fahitana lehibe io, hahafantarako izay tsy ahalevonan’ ny roimemy.
And Moses says, “Now I turn aside and see this great appearance. Why is the bush not burned?”
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 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 Ary hoy Izy: Aza manakaiky etỳ; esory ny kapanao amin’ ny tongotrao, fa tany masìna io ijanonanao io.
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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 Ary ankehitriny, indro, ny fitarainan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia efa mby atỳ amiko, sady efa hitako koa ny fahoriana izay ampahorian’ ny Egyptiana azy.
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 Koa avia ankehitriny ianao hirahiko ho any amin’ i Farao hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely oloko hivoaka avy any Egypta.
and now, come, and I send you to Pharaoh; and bring out My people, the sons of Israel, from 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 says to God, “Who [am] I, that I go to Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Kanefa Izaho mahalala fa tsy havelan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Egypta handeha ianareo, tsia, na dia amin’ ny tanana mahery aza.
And I have known that the king of Egypt does not permit you to go, unless by a strong 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 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 Ary hataoko mahita fitia eo imason’ ny Egyptiana ity firenena ity, ka raha handeha ianareo, dia tsy mba handeha maina;
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 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.
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.”
