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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”
2 Ary Andriamanitra niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Izaho no Jehovah;
God also said to Moses/me, “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 am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].
4 Ary naoriko taminy koa ny fanekeko hanomezako azy ny tany Kanana, dia ny tany fivahiniany izay efa nivahiniany.
I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which 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.
Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].
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 Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.
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 cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.
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.
And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”
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/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].
10 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 Mankanesa ao amin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, ka mitenena aminy mba handefasany ny Zanak’ Isiraely hiala amin’ ny taniny.
“Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
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/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]
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 Yahweh spoke to Aaron and Moses/me and commanded them/us, “Tell the Israeli people and the king of Egypt that I have [commissioned you two] to lead the Israeli people 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.
(Here is/I will now give you) a list of the ancestors of [Moses/me and Aaron]: The sons of Reuben, who was Jacob’s oldest son, [were] Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. They were [ancestors of] the clans [that have those same names].
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. Shaul’s mother was a woman from the Canaan people-group. Those men also were [ancestors of] clans [that have those same names].
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 are the names of the sons of Levi, in the order in which they were born: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Levi was 137 years old [when he died].
17 Ny zanakalahin’ i Hersona dia Libny sy Simey, araka ny fokom-pireneny.
The sons of Gershon [were] Libni and Shimei. They were ancestors of clans that have those names.
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 was 133 years old [when he died].
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. All of those people whose names [I have listed] belonged to tribes/clans descended from Levi, in the order in which they were born.
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. She was the mother of Aaron and Moses/me. Amram was 137 years old [when he died].
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. She was the daughter of Amminadab and sister of Nahshon. Elisheba gave birth to [four sons]: Nadab, 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. They were the ancestors of the Korah people-group.
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.
Aaron’s son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she gave birth to Phinehas. [That ends the list of] the families and clans that were descended from Levi.
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/I were the ones to whom Yahweh said, “Lead all the families and clans of the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
27 Ireo no niteny tamin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, mba hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely hivoaka avy any Egypta; ireo no Mosesy sy Arona.
They/We were the ones who spoke to the king of Egypt about bringing the Israeli people out of Egypt.
28 Ary tamin’ ny andro izay nitenenan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy teo amin’ ny tany Egypta,
On the day that Yahweh spoke to Moses/me 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, “I am Yahweh. You must tell the king everything that I say to 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/I said to Yahweh, “Listen to me. I am not a good speaker. [MET, MTY] So (the king will certainly not pay attention to what I say/why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?)!” [RHQ]
