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.
Moses was a shepherd, looking after the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the Midianite priest. He led the flock far into the wilderness until he came to God's mountain, Mount Horeb.
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 flame of fire from inside a bush. Moses looked carefully and saw that though the bush was on fire, it wasn't being burned up.
3 Le hoe t’i Mosè, Het! hitsile iraho hisamba o raha fanjaka eroan-koekeo, handrendreke ty tsy mahamae o rongoñeo.
“Let me go over and take a look,” Moses said to himself. “It's very odd to see a bush that's 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 Moses was coming to take a look, God called to him from inside the bush, “Moses! Moses!” “I'm here,” Moses replied.
5 Le hoe re, Ko mañarivo mb’etoañe, afaho hey o hana am-pandia’oo amy te masiñe o tane ijohaña’oo.
“Don't come any closer!” God told him. “Take off your sandals because you're standing on 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.” Moses covered his face, because 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,
“I'm completely aware of the misery of my people in Egypt,” the Lord told him. “I have heard them crying out because of their taskmasters. I know how much they're suffering.
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.
That's why I have come down to rescue them from Egyptian oppression and to take them up from that country to a productive, wide-open land—a land flowing with milk and honey—where currently the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites are living.
9 Ie amy zao, inao! fa pok’ amako ty fibabababa’ o ana’ Israeleo; vaho nitreako ty famorekekea’ o nte-Mitsraime manindry iareoo.
Listen! The cries of the Israelites have reached me, and I have seen how badly the Egyptians are mistreating them.
10 Akia, mamantok’ azo iraho homb’ amy Parò mb’eo hañavotse o ana’ Israele ondatikoo amy Mitsraime.
Now you must leave, because I'm sending you to Pharaoh to lead my people Israel 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 said to God, “Why me? I'm a nobody! I couldn't go to Pharaoh and lead 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'll be with you,” the Lord replied, “and this will be the sign that it is really me who is sending you: when you have led the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very 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 said to God, “Look! If I were to 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?’ —then 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 replied to Moses, “‘I Am’ is who I am. Tell the Israelites this: ‘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.
Then God said to Moses, “Tell 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, the name you are to call me for all generations to come.’
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, and call all the elders of Israel to meet with you. Tell them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, has appeared to me—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He said, “I have paid close attention to what's been happening 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.
I have decided to take you away from the misery you're having in Egypt and bring you to 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 accept what you say. Then you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews has revealed himself to us. So please let us go three days journey into the desert so we can offer sacrifices to the Lord our God there.’
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 won't let you go unless he's forced to do so by a power stronger than 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 use my power to inflict on Egypt all the terrifying things that I'm about to do to them. After that he'll let you go.
21 Toe hampañisohako am-pihaino’ o nte-Mitsraimeo ondatio, aa ie mienga, le tsy hañavelo an-tañam-polo;
I will make the Egyptians treat you well as a people, so when you go you won't leave 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 will ask her neighbor as well as any woman living in her house for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, and put them on your sons and daughters. In this way you will take the wealth of the Egyptians with you.”
