Eksodosy 3

1 Ie niarake ty lia-rai’ Iit’rò, rafoza’e, mpisoro’ i Midiane, t’i Mosè, le niaoloe’e mb’an-kalo’ i ratraratray mb’eo i lia-raikey vaho pok’ e Korèbe vohin’ Añahare eo.

Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

2 Nisodehañe ama’e an-delan’afo an-drongoñe ao ty anjeli’ Iehovà; nisaria’e, le ndra te nirebarebaen’ afo i rongoñey tsy naha­tomontoñe aze.

There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from within a bush. Moses saw the bush ablaze with fire, but it was not consumed.

3 Le hoe t’i Mosè, Het! hitsile iraho hisamba o raha fanjaka eroan-koekeo, handrendreke ty tsy mahamae o rongoñeo.

So Moses thought, “I must go over and see this marvelous sight. Why is the bush not burning up?”

4 Nivazoho’ Iehovà t’ie nitsile mb’eo hisamba, le nikanjien’ Añahare boak’ amy rongoñey, ami’ty hoe: O Mosè, Mosè! Hoe re, Intoy iraho,

When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from within the bush, “Moses, Moses!” “Here I am,” he answered.

5 Le hoe re, Ko mañarivo mb’etoañe, afaho hey o hana am-pandia’oo amy te masiñe o tane ijohaña’oo.

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”

6 Tinovo’e ty hoe, Izaho t’i Andrianañaharen-droae’o, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame naho t’i Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke vaho t’i Andrianañahare’ Iakòbe. Le nanakon-daharañe t’i Mosè fa nihembañe tsy te hahaisak’ an’ Andrianañahare.

Then He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

7 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Toe nisarieko ty hasotria’ ondatiko e Mitsraimeo; le tsinanoko ty fitoreo’ iareo ty amo mpanao bozizy iareoo; toe apotako ty halovilovia’ iareo,

The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the affliction of My people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their oppressors, and I am aware of their sufferings.

8 le nizotsoako handrombak’ iareo amo nte-Mitsraimeo, hañakatse iereo amy taney naho hendeseko mb’ am-patram-bey soa, mb’ an-tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele, mb’ an-tane’ o nte-Kanàneo naho o nte-Kheteo naho o nte-Emoreo naho o nte-Peri­zeo naho o nte-Kiveo vaho o nte-Iebosìo.

I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

9 Ie amy zao, inao! fa pok’ amako ty fibabababa’ o ana’ Israeleo; vaho nitreako ty famorekekea’ o nte-Mitsraime manindry iareoo.

And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them.

10 Akia, mamantok’ azo iraho homb’ amy Parò mb’eo hañavotse o ana’ Israele ondatikoo amy Mitsraime.

Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

11 Aa hoe t’i Mosè aman’ Añahare, Ia v-iraho te homb’ amy Parò hañakatse o ana’ Israeleo boake Mitsraime ao?

But Moses asked God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

12 Hoe re, Toe hindrezako; vaho zao ty haha­rendreha’o an-kató te Izaho ty nañirak’ azo: naho navota’o boake Mitsraime ao ondatio, le hitalaho aman’ Añahare ami’ty vohitse toy nahareo.

“I will surely be with you,” God said, “and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, all of you will worship God on this mountain.”

13 Aa hoe t’i Mosè aman’ Añahare, Ingo, homb’ amo ana’ Israeleo mb’eo iraho hanao ty hoe, Nirahen’ Añaharen-droae’ areo homb’ ama’ areo mb’ etoan-draho, vaho hañontanea’ iereo ty hoe, Ia ty tahina’e? aa le inoñe ty havaleko?

Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?”

14 Hoe t’i Andrianañahare amy Mosè, Ehiè ze Ehiè, Le tinovo’e ty hoe, Hoe ty ho saontsie’o amo ana’ Israeleo, Ehiè, ty nañitrik’ ahy homb’ama’ areo mb’etoa.

God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

15 Hoe ka t’i Andrianañahare amy Mosè, Hoe ty hatao’o amo ana’ Israeleo, Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, i Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke naho i Andrianañahare’ Iakòbe ro nañirak’ ahy homb’ama’ areo mb’etoa. Izay ty añarako nainai’e, vaho izay ty fanoñonañe ahy nainai’e an-tsà an-tsà.

God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.

16 Akia, atontono o androanavi’ Israeleo vaho ano ty hoe, Nisodehañe’ amako t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame naho Ietsàke vaho Iakòbey, nanao ty hoe: Toe nitilik’ anahareo iraho naho nitreako o anoañe e Mitsraimeo.

Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me and said: I have surely attended to you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.

17 Le hoe iraho: havotako ami’ty halovilovia’ i Mitsraime nahareo, homb’ an-tane’ i nte-Kanàney naho i nte-Khetey naho i nte-Emorey naho i nte-Periziy naho i nte-Kivey vaho i nte-Iebosìy, mb’tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele añe.

And I have promised to bring you up out of your affliction in Egypt, into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

18 Ho haoñe’ iareo ty fiarañanaña’o le hiheo mb’amy mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey irehe rekets’ o androanavi’ Israeleo hanao ty hoe, Fa nifañaoñe ama’ay t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ o nte-Evreo, aa le angao hañavelo lia telo andro am-patram­bey añe hañenga soroñe am’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ay.

The elders of Israel will listen to what you say, and you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’

19 Toe fantako t’ie tsy hapo’ ty mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime hañavelo naho tsy am-pitàñe maozatse.

But I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless a mighty hand compels him.

20 Aa le hahitiko ty tañako hipaoke i Mitsraime amy ze hene fitoloñañe mahalatsa hanoeko ao. Mandimbe izay t’ie hapo’e hienga.

So I will stretch out My hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders I will perform among them. And after that, he will release you.

21 Toe hampañisohako am-pihaino’ o nte-Mitsraimeo ondatio, aa ie mienga, le tsy hañavelo an-tañam-polo;

And I will grant this people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that when you leave, you will not go away empty-handed.

22 fa songa hihalaly fanake volafoty naho volamena naho saroñe amo mpiharo tanàñe ama’eo naho amy ze ambahiny añ’ anjomba’e ao ze rakemba vaho haombe’ areo amo ana-dahy naho anakampela’ areoo vaho ho volose’ areo o nte-Mitsraimeo.

Every woman shall ask her neighbor and any woman staying in her house for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, and you will put them on your sons and daughters. So you will plunder the Egyptians.”
