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 answers and says, “And if they do not give credence to me, nor listen to my voice, and say, YHWH has not appeared to you?”
2 Hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Ino o am-pità’oo? Hoe re, Kobaiñe.
And YHWH says to him, “What [is] this in your hand?” And he says, “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 says, “Cast it to the earth”; and he casts it to the earth, and it becomes a serpent—and Moses flees from its presence.
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 YHWH says to Moses, “Put forth your hand, and lay hold on the tail of it”; and he puts forth his hand, and lays hold on it, and it becomes 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 believe that YHWH, God of their fathers, has appeared to you, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.”
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.
And YHWH says to him again, “Now put your hand into your bosom”; and he puts his hand into his bosom, and he brings it out, and behold, his hand [is] leprous 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 says, “Put your hand back into your bosom”; and he puts his hand back into his bosom, and he brings it out from his bosom, and behold, it has turned back as his flesh—
8 Aa naho tsy miantok’ azo ndra mijanjiñe ty feo’ i viloñe valoha’ey le hiantofe’iereo ty feo’ i viloñe faharoey.
“and it has come to pass, if they do not give credence to you, and do not listen to the voice of the first sign, that they have given credence to the voice of the latter 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 it has come to pass, if they do not give credence even to these two signs, nor listen to your voice, that you have taken of the waters of the River, and have poured [it] on the dry land, and the waters which you take from the River have been, indeed, they have 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 says to YHWH, “O my Lord, I [am] not a man of words, either yesterday, or before, or since Your speaking to Your servant, for I [am] slow of mouth, and 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 YHWH says to him, “Who appointed a mouth for man? Or who appoints the mute, or deaf, or open, or blind? Is it not I, YHWH?
12 Akia arè; himbaeko ty falie’o vaho hanareko azo ze ho saontsie’o.
And now, go, and I am with your mouth, and have directed you that which you speak”;
13 Fe hoe re, Ry Talèko, ehe iraho am-pità’ i hirahe’oy.
and he says, “O my Lord, please send by the hand [of another that] You 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 anger of YHWH burns against Moses, and He says, “Is Aaron the Levite not your brother? I have known that he speaks well, and also, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he has seen you, then he has rejoiced 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.
and you have spoken to him, and have set the words in his mouth, and I am with your mouth, and with his mouth, and have directed you that which you do;
16 Ie ty hisolo-falie azo am’ ondatio; ie ty ho falie ama’o vaho ho fanalolahy ama’e irehe.
and he, he has spoken to the people for you, and it has come to pass, he is to you for a mouth, and you are to him for God;
17 Rambeso am-pità’o o kobaiñeo, fa ama’e ty hanoe’o o viloñeo.
and you take this rod in your hand, with which you 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 goes and turns back to his father-in-law Jethro, and says to him, “Please let me go, and I return to my brothers who [are] in Egypt, and I see whether they are yet alive.” And Jethro says 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 YHWH says to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt, for all the men who seek your life have died”;
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 takes his wife, and his sons, and causes them to ride on the donkey, and turns back to the land of Egypt, and Moses takes 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 YHWH says to Moses, “In your going to return to Egypt, see—all the wonders which I have put in your hand—that you have done them before Pharaoh, and I strengthen his heart, and he does not send the people away;
22 Le hoe ty hanoa’o amy Parò, Hoe t’Iehovà: Anako naho tañoloñoloñako t’Israele;
and you have said to Pharaoh, Thus said YHWH: My son, My firstborn [is] Israel,
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 say to you, send My son away, and he serves Me; and [if] you refuse to send him away, behold, I am slaying your son, your firstborn.”
24 Ie amy liay, amy nialeña’ iareoy, le nifanampe ama’e t’Iehovà, ho nañè-doza ama’e.
And it comes to pass in the way, in a lodging place, that YHWH meets him, and seeks to 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!
and Zipporah takes a flint, and cuts off the foreskin of her son, and causes [it] to touch his feet, and says, “You [are] surely a bridegroom of blood to me”;
26 Aa le navotso’e vaho nanao ty hoe i rakembay, Ty valiko an-dio ty amy savatsey.
and He desists from him. Then she said, “A bridegroom of blood,” in reference to 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 YHWH says to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses”; and he goes, and meets him on the mountain of God, and kisses him,
28 Nitaroñe’ i Mosè amy Aharone ze hene nitsarae’ Iehovà nañirak’ azey vaho i viloñe iaby nafanto’e ama’e rezay.
and Moses declares to Aaron all the words of YHWH with which He has sent him, and all the signs with which He has charged him.
29 Nimb’ eo amy zao t’i Mosè naho i Aharone nanontoñe ze hene androanavi’ o ana’ Israeleo;
And Moses goes—Aaron also—and they gather all the elderly of the sons of Israel,
30 le nisaontsie’ i Aharone o nitsarae’ Iehovà amy Mosè iabio vaho nanoe’e am-pahaisaha’ ondatio o viloñeo.
and Aaron speaks all the words which YHWH has spoken to Moses, and does the signs before the eyes of 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 believe when they hear that YHWH has looked after the sons of Israel, and that He has seen their affliction; and they bow and pay respect.
