Eksodosy 6

1 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Ankehitriny ho hitanao izay hataoko amin’ i Farao; fa ny tanako mahery no handefasany azy, ary ny tanako mahery no handroahany azy amin’ ny taniny.

But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”

2 Ary Andriamanitra niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Izaho no Jehovah;

God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!

3 ary tamin’ ny anarako hoe ANDRIAMANITRA TSITOHA no nisehoako tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba, fa ny anarako hoe JEHOVAH tsy mbola nahafantarany Ahy,

I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’

4 Ary naoriko taminy koa ny fanekeko hanomezako azy ny tany Kanana, dia ny tany fivahiniany izay efa nivahiniany.

I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.

5 Ary koa, Izaho efa nandre ny fitarainan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay ampanompoin’ ny Egyptiana, ka dia tsaroako ny fanekeko.

In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.

6 Koa lazao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Izaho no Jehovah, ary hitondra anareo hivoaka ho afaka amin’ ny fanompoana mafy ampanaovin’ ny Egyptiana anareo Aho ka hanafaka anareo amin’ ny fanompoana azy; ary sandry ahinjitra sy fitsarana lehibe no hamonjeko anareo.

So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy punishments.

7 Dia halaiko ho Ahy ianareo ho oloko, ary ho Andriamanitrareo Aho; dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izay mitondra anareo mivoaka ho afaka amin’ ny fanompoana mafy ampanaovin’ ny Egyptiana anareo.

I will make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.

8 Ary Izaho hampiditra anareo any amin’ ny tany izay nananganako tanàna homena an’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba; dia homeko ho lovanareo izany: Izaho no Jehovah.

I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”

9 Ary Mosesy nilaza izany tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; nefa izy tsy nihaino an’ i Mosesy noho ny fahoriam-panahy sy ny fanompoana mafy.

Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.

10 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

Then the Lord said to Moses,

11 Mankanesa ao amin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, ka mitenena aminy mba handefasany ny Zanak’ Isiraely hiala amin’ ny taniny.

“Go and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him to let the Israelites leave his country.”

12 Ary Mosesy niteny teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Indro, ny Zanak’ Isiraely aza tsy nihaino ahy, ka ahoana no hihainoan’ i Farao ahy, fa izaho tsy voafora molotra?

But Moses replied, “Even my own people don't listen to me. Why would Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I'm such a poor speaker?”

13 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanome teny azy ho entiny ho any amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely sy ho amin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, mba hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely hivoaka avy amin’ ny tany Egypta.

But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and told them what to do regarding the people of Israel and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

14 Izao no lohan’ ny fianakaviany: Ny zanakalahin-dRobena, lahimatoan’ Isiraely, dia Hanoka sy Palo sy Hezrona sy Karmy; ireo no fokom-pirenen-dRobena.

These were the Israelite family heads. The sons of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel, were Hanok and Pallu, Hezron and Karmi. These were the families of Reuben.

15 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Simeona dia Jemoela sy Jaminasy Ohada sy Jakinasy Zohara ary Saoly, zanakalahin’ ny vehivavy Kananita; ireo no fokom-pirenen’ i Simeona.

The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, (the son of a Canaanite woman). These were the families of Simeon.

16 Ary izao no anaran’ ny zanakalahin’ i Levy, araka ny taranany, dia Gersona sy Kehata ary Merary; ary ny andro niainan’ i Levy dia fito amby telo-polo amby zato taona.

These were the names of the sons of Levi according to their genealogical records: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi lived for 137 years.

17 Ny zanakalahin’ i Hersona dia Libny sy Simey, araka ny fokom-pireneny.

The sons of Gershon, by families, were Libni and Shimei.

18 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Kehata dia Amrama sy Jizara sy Hebrona ary Oziela; ary ny andro niainan’ i Kehata dia telo amby telo-polo amby zato taona.

The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. Kohath lived for 133 years.

19 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Merary dia Maly sy Mosy. Ireo no fokom-pirenen’ ny Levita, araka ny taranany.

The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. These were the families of the Levites according to their genealogical records.

20 Ary Amrama naka an’ i Jokebeda anabavin-drainy ho vadiny, dia niteraka an’ i Arona sy Mosesy taminy izy; ary ny andro niainan’ i Amrama dia fito amby telo-polo amby zato taona.

Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, and she had their sons Aaron and Moses. Amram lived for 137 years.

21 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Jizara dia Kora sy Nafega ary Zikry.

The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.

22 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Oziela dia Misaela sy Elzafana ary Sitry.

The sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri.

23 Ary Arona naka an’ i Eliseba, zanakavavin’ i Aminadaba sady anabavin’ i Nasona, ho vadiny; dia niteraka an’ i Nadaba sy Abiho sy Eleazara ary Itamara taminy izy.

Aaron married Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon. She had their sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

24 Ary ny zanakalahin’ i Kora dia Asira sy Elkana ary Abiasafa; ireo no fokom-pirenen’ ny Korana.

The sons of Korah were Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These were the Korahite families.

25 Ary Eleazara, zanakalahin’ i Arona, naka vady avy tamin’ ny zanakavavin’ i Potiela, dia niteraka an’ i Finehasa taminy izy. Ireo no lohan’ ny fianakavian’ ny Levita, araka ny fokom-pireneny.

Eleazar, son of Aaron, married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she had their son Phinehas. These are the ancestors of the Levite families, listed according to their clans. Eleazar son of Aaron married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she gave birth to his son, Phinehas. These are the heads of the Levite families, listed by family.

26 Ireo no Arona sy Mosesy, izay nilazan’ i Jehovah hoe: Ento ny Zanak’ Isiraely hivoaka avy any amin’ ny tany Egypta araka ny antokony.

Aaron and Moses mentioned here are the ones the Lord told, “Lead the Israelites out of Egypt, divided up in their respective tribes.”

27 Ireo no niteny tamin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, mba hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely hivoaka avy any Egypta; ireo no Mosesy sy Arona.

Moses and Aaron were also the ones who went to speak with Pharaoh, king of Egypt, about the Israelites leaving Egypt.

28 Ary tamin’ ny andro izay nitenenan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy teo amin’ ny tany Egypta,

When the Lord spoke to Moses in Egypt,

29 dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Izaho no Jehovah; koa lazao amin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, izay rehetra lazaiko aminao.

he said to him, “I am the Lord. Tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I tell you.”

30 Ary Mosesy niteny teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Indro, tsy voafora molotra aho, ka aiza no hihainoan’ i Farao ahy!

But Moses replied, “I'm not a good speaker—why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
