Baʼuu 3

1 Museen bushaayee abbaa niitii isaa Yetroo lubicha Midiyaan sanaa tiksaa ture; innis gaaf tokko hamma dhiʼa lafa gammoojjiitti bushaayee sana oofee gara tulluu Waaqaa gara Kooreeb dhufe.

And Moses hath been feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he leadeth the flock behind the wilderness, and cometh in unto the mount of God, to Horeb;

2 Achittis Ergamaan Waaqayyoo daggala bobaʼu keessaa arraba ibiddaa keessaan isatti mulʼate. Museenis daggalli sun bobaʼu illee akka hin gubatin arge.

and there appeareth unto him a messenger of Jehovah in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he seeth, and lo, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.

3 Museenis, “Daggalli kun maaliif hin gubatu laata? Ani itti goree waan dinqisiisaa kana ilaaluu qaba” jedhe.

And Moses saith, 'Let me turn aside, I pray thee, and I see this great appearance; wherefore is the bush not burned?'

4 Waaqayyos yommuu akka Museen ilaaluuf achi gore argetti, Waaqni daggala sana keessaa, “Musee! Musee!” jedhee isa waame. Museenis, “Kunoo ani asan jira” jedhee deebise.

and Jehovah seeth that he hath turned aside to see, and God calleth unto him out of the midst of the bush, and saith, 'Moses, Moses;' and he saith, 'Here [am] I.'

5 Waaqni immoo, “As hin dhiʼaatin; Sababii iddoon ati dhaabatu kun qulqulluu taʼeef kophee kee baafadhu” jedheen.

And He saith, 'Come not near hither: cast thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place on which thou art standing is holy ground.'

6 Itti fufees, “Ani Waaqa abbaa keetii, Waaqa Abrahaam, Waaqa Yisihaaqii fi Waaqa Yaaqoob” jedhe. Kana irratti Museen Waaqa ilaaluu waan sodaateef fuula isaa dhokfate.

He saith also, 'I [am] the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;' and Moses hideth his face, for he is afraid to look towards God.

7 Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Ani dhugumaan dhiphina saba koo warra Gibxi keessa jiraatan irra gaʼu argeera. Iyya isaan warra humnaan isaan hojjechiisan jalaa baʼuuf iyyanis dhagaʼeera; ani rakkina isaaniis nan beeka.

And Jehovah saith, 'I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and their cry I have heard, because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;

8 Kanaafuu ani harka warra Gibxiitii isaan baasee gara biyya gaarii fi balʼaatti, biyya aannanii fi dammi keessaa burquutti jechuunis gara biyya Kanaʼaanotaatti, Heetotaatti, Amoorotaatti, Feerzotaatti, Hiiwotaattii fi Yebuusotaatti ol isaan baasuuf jedhee gad buʼeera.

and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey — unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

9 Amma kunoo iyyi Israaʼelootaa na bira gaʼeera. Ani haala itti warri Gibxi isaan cunqursanis argeera.

'And now, lo, the cry of the sons of Israel hath come in unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,

10 Kanaafuu ati amma dhaqi. Ani akka ati saba koo Israaʼeloota Gibxi keessaa baaftuuf Faraʼoonitti sin erga.”

and now, come, and I send thee unto Pharaoh, and bring thou out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.'

11 Museen garuu Waaqaan, “Faraʼoon bira dhaqee Gibxii Israaʼeloota baasuuf ani eenyu?” jedhe.

And Moses saith unto God, 'Who [am] I, that I go unto Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?'

12 Waaqnis akkana jedhe; “Ani si wajjin nan taʼa. Ati saba sana Gibxii yommuu baaftutti isin tulluu kana irratti Waaqa waaqeffattu. Si erguu kootiifis kun mallattoo siif taʼa.”

and He saith, 'Because I am with thee, and this [is] to thee the sign that I have sent thee: in thy bringing out the people from Egypt — ye do serve God on this mount.'

13 Museen immoo Waaqaan, “Kunoo ani gara Israaʼelootaa dhaqee, ‘Waaqni abbaa keessanii na ergeera’ yommun jedhutti yoo isaan, ‘Maqaan isaa eenyu?’ jedhanii na gaafatan, ani maal jedheen isaanitti hima?” jedhe.

And Moses saith unto God, 'Lo, I am coming unto the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they have said to me, What [is] His name? what do I say unto them?'

14 Waaqnis Museedhaan, “ANI ANUMA; ati saba Israaʼeliin, ‘Inni ANI ANUMA jedhu sun gara keessanitti na ergeera’ jedhi” jedheen.

And God saith unto Moses, 'I AM THAT WHICH I AM;' He saith also, 'Thus dost thou say to the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.'

15 Waaqni ammas Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Israaʼelootaan akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii, Waaqni Abrahaam, Waaqni Yisihaaq, Waaqni Yaaqoob isinitti na ergeera.’ “Maqaan kun bara baraan maqaa koo ti; maqaa ani dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti ittiin yaadatamuu dha.

And God saith again unto Moses, 'Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this [is] My name — to the age, and this My memorial, to generation — generation.

16 “Dhaqii maanguddoota Israaʼel walitti qabiitii akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii, Waaqni Abrahaam, kan Yisihaaqii fi kan Yaaqoob natti mulʼatee akkana jedhe: “Ani isin ilaaleera; waan Gibxitti isin irra gaʼes argeera.

'Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;

17 Kanaafuu ani rakkina Gibxi keessaa isin baasee biyya aannanii fi dammi keessaa burqu jechuunis biyya Kanaʼaanotaa, Heetotaa, Amoorotaa, Feerzotaa, Hiiwotaatii fi biyya Yebuusotaatti isin geessuuf murteesseera.”’

and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

18 “Maanguddoonni Israaʼel si dhagaʼu. Atii fi maanguddoonni Israaʼel mootii Gibxi bira dhaqxanii, ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni Ibrootaa nutti mulʼateera; egaa amma akka nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaaf aarsaa dhiʼeessinuuf gara gammoojjiitti karaa guyyaa sadii nuu eeyyami’ jettuun.

'And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

19 Garuu akka mootiin Gibxi yoo irreen jabaan isa dirqisiise malee deemuuf isinii hin eeyyamne anuu beeka.

'And I — I have known that the king of Egypt doth not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,

20 Ani dinqii isaan gidduutti hojjedhu hundaan irree koo hiixadhee namoota Gibxi nan dhaʼa. Ergasii inni akka deemtan isiniif eeyyama.

and I have put forth My hand, and have smitten Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst — and afterwards he doth send you away.

21 “Anis akka sabni kun fuula warra Gibxi duratti surraa argatu nan godha; isinis yommuu Gibxii baatanitti harka duwwaa hin baatan.

'And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it hath come to pass, when ye go, ye go not empty;

22 Tokkoon tokkoon dubartii miʼa meetii, miʼa warqeetii fi uffata gaafattee ollaa isheettii fi dubartii mana ishee jiraattu irraa haa fudhattu; kanaanis ilmaanii fi intallan keessanitti uffiftu. Akkasiinis qabeenya warra Gibxi boojitanii baatu.”

and [every] woman hath asked from her neighbour, and from her who is sojourning in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and ye have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.'
