U-Eksodusi 6

1 INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Khathesi uzabona engizakwenza kuFaro; ngoba ngesandla esilamandla uzabayekela bahambe, langesandla esilamandla uzabaxotsha elizweni lakhe.

Then YHWH said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

2 UNkulunkulu wasekhuluma kuMozisi wathi kuye: NgiyiNkosi;

And Elohim spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am YHWH:

3 njalo ngabonakala kuAbrahama, kuIsaka, lakuJakobe njengoNkulunkulu uSomandla; kodwa ngebizo lami lokuthi uJehova ngangingaziwa kubo.

And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of El-Shaddai, but by my name YHWH was I not known to them?

4 Njalo lami ngamisa isivumelwano sami labo ukubapha ilizwe leKhanani, ilizwe lobuhambuma babo, ababehlala kulo njengabezizwe.

And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

5 Futhi lami ngizwile ukububula kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, amaGibhithe abagcine ebugqilini; njalo ngikhumbule isivumelwano sami.

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

6 Ngakho-ke tshono kubantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuthi: NgiyiNkosi; njalo ngizalikhupha lisuke ngaphansi kwemithwalo yamaGibhithe; ngilikhulule ebugqilini bawo, ngilihlenge ngengalo eyeluliweyo langezigwebo ezinkulu.

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am YHWH, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:

7 Njalo ngizazithathela lina libe yisizwe, ngizakuba kini nguNkulunkulu; njalo lizakwazi ukuthi ngiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, olikhupha lisuke ngaphansi kwemithwalo yamaGibhithe;

And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you an Elohim: and ye shall know that I am YHWH your Elohim, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 njalo ngizalingenisa elizweni engaphakamisa isandla sami ngalo ukulinika uAbrahama, uIsaka loJakobe, ngilinike lona libe yilifa; mina, iNkosi.

And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am YHWH.

9 UMozisi wasekhuluma ngokunjalo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli; kodwa kabamlalelanga uMozisi ngenxa yokukhathazeka komoya langenxa yobugqili obunzima.

And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

10 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:

And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,

11 Ngena ukhulume kuFaro, inkosi yeGibhithe, ukuthi ayekele abantwana bakoIsrayeli basuke elizweni lakhe.

Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

12 Kodwa uMozisi wakhuluma phambi kweNkosi esithi: Khangela, abantwana bakoIsrayeli kabangilalelanga; pho-ke uFaro angangizwa njani, engingowendebe ezingasokanga?

And Moses spake before YHWH, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?

13 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni yabapha umlayo ngabantwana bakoIsrayeli langoFaro inkosi yeGibhithe ukukhupha abantwana bakoIsrayeli elizweni leGibhithe.

And YHWH spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.

28 Kwasekusithi mhla iNkosi ikhuluma kuMozisi elizweni leGibhithe

And it came to pass on the day when YHWH spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 iNkosi yakhuluma kuMozisi isithi: Mina ngiyiNkosi; khuluma kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe konke engikukhuluma kuwe.

That YHWH spake unto Moses, saying, I am YHWH: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.

30 UMozisi wasesithi phambi kweNkosi: Khangela, ngingowendebe ezingasokanga; ngakho uFaro angangizwa njani?

And Moses said before YHWH, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
