Eksodosy 4

1 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Mosè, Aa naho tsy miantok’ ahy iereo, tsy mijanjiñe ty feoko, fe hanao ty hoe, Tsy niheo ama’o t’Iehovà?

And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.

2 Hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Ino o am-pità’oo? Hoe re, Kobaiñe.

And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

3 Le hoe re, Afetsaho an-tane eo. Aa le nafetsa’e an-tane naho ninjare mereñe vaho nidisaha’ i Mosè.

And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.

4 Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ampitakaro ty fità’o, tsepaho añ’ohi’e—aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e nitsi­paok’ aze vaho niheren-ko kobaiñe am-pità’e ao—

And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand: )

5 hiantofa’ iareo te niheo ama’o t’Iehovà, Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo, t’i Andrianañahare’ i Avrahame, i Andrianañahare’ Ietsàke vaho i Andrianañahare’ Iakòbe.

So that they may be certain that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by you.

6 Natovo’ Iehovà ama’e ty hoe, Azi­liho añ-araña’o ao ty fità’o, le nazili’e añ-araña’e ao ty fità’e le ie nakare’e; hehe te angamae i fità’ey, hafotim-bolovaso.

Then the Lord said to him again, Put your hand inside your clothing. And he put his hand inside his robe: and when he took it out it was like the hand of a leper, as white as snow.

7 Le hoe re, Ampolio añ-araña’o ao o fità’oo; aa le nazili’e añ-araña’e ao in­draike i fità’ey naho nakare’e boak’ añ-araña’e ao, ie fa nibali-ko hambañe ami-ty sandri’e.

And he said, Put your hand inside your robe again. (And he put his hand into his robe again, and when he took it out he saw that it had become like his other flesh.)

8 Aa naho tsy miantok’ azo ndra mijanjiñe ty feo’ i viloñe valoha’ey le hiantofe’iereo ty feo’ i viloñe faharoey.

And if they do not have faith in you or give ear to the voice of the first sign, they will have faith in the second sign.

9 Ie mboe tsy miantoke i viloñe roe rey naho tsy mañaoñe ty feo’o le anovizo rano boak’ amy Nailey naho adoaño an-tane maike eo, fa hinjare lio an-tane maike eo i rano rinambe’o amy sakaiy.

And if they have no faith even in these two signs and will not give ear to your voice, then you are to take the water of the Nile and put it on the dry land: and the water you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.

10 Aa hoe t’i Mosè amy Iehovà, Ry Talèko, tsy mahafilañon-draho; ndra taolo ndra hirik’ amy nitsara’o amo mpitoro’oo, te mone midàm-bolañe vaho bedo-lela.

And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I am not a man of words; I have never been so, and am not now, even after what you have said to your servant: for talking is hard for me, and I am slow of tongue.

11 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Ia ro namboatse ty falie’ ondaty? Ia ro mamboatse ty bobo, ty giñe, ty mahaisake, vaho ty fey? Tsy Izaho Iehovà hao?

And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

12 Akia arè; himbaeko ty falie’o vaho hanareko azo ze ho saon­tsie’o.

So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.

13 Fe hoe re, Ry Talèko, ehe iraho am-pità’ i hirahe’oy.

And he said, O Lord, send, if you will, by the hand of anyone whom it seems good to you to send.

14 Niviañe amy Mosè amy zao ty haviñera’ Iehovà, le hoe re, Tsy apotako hao i rahalahi’o Aharone nte-Leviy, t’ie mahafirehake? Inao, mionjomb’ ama’o mb’etoa re hifañaoñe ama’o vaho hifale añ’arofo’e te mahaoniñe azo.

And the Lord was angry with Moses, and said, Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? To my knowledge he is good at talking. And now he is coming out to you: and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.

15 Hisaontsy ama’e irehe vaho hajo’o am-palie’e o tsarao. Himbaeko ty falie’o naho i falie’ey vaho hañohako ama’ areo ze hanoe’ areo.

Let him give ear to your voice, and you will put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his, teaching you what you have to do.

16 Ie ty hisolo-falie azo am’ ondatio; ie ty ho falie ama’o vaho ho fanalolahy ama’e irehe.

And he will do the talking for you to the people: he will be to you as a mouth and you will be to him as God.

17 Rambeso am-pità’o o kobaiñeo, fa ama’e ty hanoe’o o viloñeo.

And take in your hand this rod with which you will do the signs.

18 Nienga t’i Mosè naho nibalike mb’ aman-dra­foza’e Iitrò mb’eo nanao ty hoe, Ehe angao himpoly mb’amo rolongoko e Mitsraimeo handrèndreke hera mbe veloñe. Le hoe t’i Iitrò amy Mosè, Akia am-panintsiñañe,

And Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go back now to my relations in Egypt and see if they are still living. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

19 Hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè e Midiane ao, Akia, mimpolia mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo fa fonga nihomake ondaty nipay ty fiai’oo.

And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, Go back to Egypt, for all the men are dead who were attempting to take your life.

20 Aa le nendese’ i Mosè i vali’ey naho o ana-dahi’eo naho nampiningire’e ami’ty borìke, le nimpoly mb’ an-tane Mitsraime mb’eo; le nitintiñe’ i Mosè am-pità’e i kobain’Añaharey.

And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass and went back to the land of Egypt: and he took the rod of God in his hand.

21 Aa hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Ie miheo mb’e Mitsraime añe, asoao te hanoe’o añ’atrefa’ i Parò ze hene viloñe napoko am-pita’o, fa hampandiereko ty arofo’e tsy hapo’e hañavelo ondatio.

And the Lord said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have given you power to do: but I will make his heart hard and he will not let the people go.

22 Le hoe ty hanoa’o amy Parò, Hoe t’Iehovà: Anako naho tañoloñoloñako t’Israele;

And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:

23 le hoe iraho ama’o, Angao hañavelo i anakoy hitoroñe ahy. F’ie mifoneñe tsy hampañavelo aze, inao arè: havetrako ty ana-dahi’o, i tañoloñoloña’oy.

And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.

24 Ie amy liay, amy nialeña’ iareoy, le nifanampe ama’e t’Iehovà, ho nañè-doza ama’e.

Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.

25 Le rinambe’ i Tsiporàe ty vato masioñe le tinampa’e ty ofon’ ana-dahi’e naho nahifi’e am-pandia’eo vaho hoe re, Toe mpañenga-an-dio amako irehe!

Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cutting off the skin of her son's private parts, and touching his feet with it, she said, Truly you are a husband of blood to me.

26 Aa le na­votso’e vaho nanao ty hoe i rakembay, Ty valiko an-dio ty amy savatsey.

So he let him go. Then she said, You are a husband of blood because of the circumcision.

27 Hoe t’Iehovà amy Aharone, Akia mb’ am-patram­bey añe hifanalaka amy Mosè. Aa le nimb’eo re nifanalaka ama’e am-bohin’ Añahare eo vaho norofa’e.

And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the waste land and you will see Moses. So he went and came across Moses at the mountain of God, and gave him a kiss.

28 Nita­roñe’ i Mosè amy Aharone ze hene nitsarae’ Iehovà nañirak’ azey vaho i viloñe iaby nafanto’e ama’e rezay.

And Moses gave Aaron an account of all the words of the Lord which he had sent him to say, and of all the signs which he had given him orders to do.

29 Nimb’ eo amy zao t’i Mosè naho i Aharone nanontoñe ze hene androanavi’ o ana’ Israeleo;

Then Moses and Aaron went and got together all the chiefs of the children of Israel:

30 le nisaontsie’ i Aharone o nitsa­rae’ Iehovà amy Mosè iabio vaho nanoe’e am-pahaisaha’ ondatio o viloñeo.

And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people.

31 Niantoke ondatio, aa naho jinanji’ o ana’ Israeleo te nisary iareo t’Iehovà naho nivazohoe’e ty fisotria’ iareo, le niondreke vaho nitalaho.

And the people had faith in them; and hearing that the Lord had taken up the cause of the children of Israel and had seen their troubles, with bent heads they gave him worship.
