Baʼuu 4

1 Museen, “Yoo isaan, ‘Waaqayyo sitti hin mulʼanne’ jedhanii na amanuu yookaan na dhagaʼuu didan hoo?” jedhee deebise.

Then Moses answered, and said, But lo, they will not beleeue me, nor hearken vnto my voyce: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared vnto thee.

2 Kana irratti Waaqayyo, “Wanti harka kee keessa jiru sun maali?” jedheen. Museen immoo, “Ulee dha” jedhee deebise.

And the Lord said vnto him, What is that in thine hande? And he answered, A rod.

3 Waaqayyos, “Lafa buusi” jedheen. Museen lafa buufnaan uleen sun bofa taʼe; innis irraa baqate.

Then said he, Cast it on the ground. So he cast it on the grounde, and it was turned into a serpent: and Moses fled from it.

4 Waaqayyo garuu Museedhaan, “Harka kee hiixadhuutii eegee isaa qabi” jedhe. Museenis hiixatee bofa sana qabe; bofti sunis harka isaa keessatti deebiʼee ulee taʼe.

Againe the Lord saide vnto Moses, Put foorth thine hand, and take it by the tayle. Then he put foorth his hande and caught it, and it was turned into a rod in his hand.

5 Waaqayyos, “kun akka isaan Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii isaanii, Waaqni Abrahaam, Waaqni Yisihaaq, Waaqni Yaaqoob sitti mulʼate akka amananiif” jedhe.

Do this that they may beleeue, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Izhak, and the God of Iaakob hath appeared vnto thee.

6 Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Harka kee bobaa kee keessa kaaʼadhu” jedhe. Museenis harka isaa bobaa isaa keessa kaaʼate; yommuu inni baafatettis, kunoo harki isaa lamxii akka cabbii taʼe.

And the Lord saide furthermore vnto him, Thrust nowe thine hand into thy bosome. And he thrust his hand into his bosome, and when he tooke it out againe, behold, his hand was leprous as snowe.

7 Innis Museedhaan, “Harka kee deebisii bobaa kee keessa kaaʼadhu” jedhe; Museenis deebisee harka isaa bobaa isaa keessa kaaʼate; yommuu inni baafatettis, kunoo harki isaa deebiʼee akkuma dhagna isaa isa kaanii taʼe.

Moreouer he said, Put thine hand into thy bosome againe. So he put his hande into his bosome againe, and pluckt it out of his bosome, and behold, it was turned againe as his other flesh.

8 Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Isaan yoo si amanuu baatanii mallattoo isa jalqabaa fudhachuu didan mallattoo lammaffaa ni amanu taʼa.

So shall it be, if they wil not beleeue thee, neither obey the voyce of ye first signe, yet shall they beleeue for the voyce of the seconde signe.

9 Yoo isaan mallattoo kana lamaan amanuu baatanii si dhagaʼuu didan bishaan laga Abbayyaa budduuqsiitii lafa gogaa irratti dhangalaasi. Bishaan ati lagicha irraa budduuqsite sunis lafa gogaa irratti dhiiga taʼa.”

But if they will not yet beleeue these two signes, neither obey vnto thy voyce, then shalt thou take of the water of the riuer, and powre it vpon the drie lande: so the water which thou shalt take out of the riuer, shalbe turned to blood vpon the drie land.

10 Museenis Waaqayyoon, “Yaa Gooftaa, ani duris taʼu yookaan erga ati garbicha keetti dubbachuu jalqabdee as nama arraba qajeelu miti. Ani nama afaan isaa hidhamee arrabni isaas itti ulfaatuu dha” jedhe.

But Moses said vnto the Lord, Oh my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither at any time haue bene, nor yet since thou hast spoken vnto thy seruant: but I am slowe of speach and slowe of tongue.

11 Waaqayyos akkana isaan jedhe; “Kan afaan namaa uume eenyu? Kan akka namni arrab-didaa taʼu yookaan duudu godhu eenyu? Kan agartuu ijaa namaaf kennu yookaan jaamsu eenyu? Anuma Waaqayyoo mitii?

Then the Lord said vnto him, Who hath giuen the mouth to man? or who hath made the domme, or the deafe, or him that seeth, or the blinde? haue not I the Lord?

12 Amma dhaqi; ani afaan kee wajjin nan taʼa; waan ati jettus sin barsiisa.”

Therefore goe nowe, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.

13 Museen garuu, “Yaa Gooftaa, maaloo nama biraa ergi” jedhe.

But he saide, Oh my Lord, sende, I pray thee, by the hande of him, whome thou shouldest sende.

14 Dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos Musee irratti bobaʼe; innis akkana jedhe; “Obboleessi kee Aroon Lewwichi jira mitii? Ani akka inni akka gaariitti dubbatu nan beeka. Kunoo, inni gara kee dhufuutti jira. Inni yommuu si argutti ni gammada.

Then the Lord was verie angrie with Moses, and said, Doe not I know Aaron thy brother the Leuite, that he himselfe shall speake? for loe, he commeth also foorth to meete thee, and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

15 Ati isatti dubbatee afaan isaa keessa dubbii ni keessa; anis afaan keetii fi afaan isaa wajjin nan taʼa; waan isin hojjettanis isin nan barsiisa.

Therefore thou shalt speake vnto him, and put the wordes in his mouth, and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye ought to doe.

16 Inni uummatatti siif dubbata; inni afaan siif taʼa; ati immoo isaaf akka Waaqaa ni taata.

And he shall be thy spokesman vnto the people: and he shall be, euen he shall be as thy mouth, and thou shalt be to him as God.

17 Ati ulee ittiin mallattoo argisiiftu kana harkatti qabadhu.”

Moreouer thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do miracles.

18 Museen gara abbaa niitii isaa gara Yetrootti deebiʼee, “Akka ani gara saba koo warra Gibxi jiraatanitti deebiʼee hamma ammaatti lubbuun jiraachuu isaanii arguuf maaloo naa eeyyami” jedheen. Yootooris, “Nagaan dhaqi” jedheen.

Therefore Moses went and returned to Iethro his father in lawe, and said vnto him, I pray thee, let me goe, and returne to my brethren, which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet aliue. Then Iethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

19 Waaqayyo Midiyaanitti Museedhaan, “Namoonni si ajjeesuu barbaadan hundi duʼaniiruutii Gibxitti deebiʼi” jedhee ture.

(For the Lord had said vnto Moses in Midian, Goe, returne to Egypt: for they are all dead which went about to kill thee)

20 Kanaafuu Museen niitii isaatii fi ilmaan isaa fuudhatee harree irra kaaʼee Gibxitti deebiʼe. Innis ulee Waaqaa harkatti qabatee ture.

Then Moses tooke his wife, and his sonnes, and put them on an asse, and returned towarde the lande of Egypt, and Moses tooke the rod of God in his hand.

21 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati yeroo Gibxitti deebitutti dinqiiwwan ani akka ati hojjetuuf humna siif kenne sana hunda fuula Faraʼoon duratti hojjedhu. Ani garuu akka inni saba sana gad hin lakkifne mata jabeessa isa nan godha.

And the Lord saide vnto Moses, When thou art entred and come into Egypt againe, see that thou doe all the wonders before Pharaoh, which I haue put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, and he shall not let the people goe.

22 Ati Faraʼooniin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Israaʼel ilma koo hangafa;

Then thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my sonne, euen my first borne.

23 anis, “Akka ilmi koo na tajaajiluuf gad lakkisi” jedhee sitti himeera. Ati garuu isa gad lakkisuu didde; kanaafuu, kunoo ani ilma kee hangafa nan ajjeesa.’”

Wherefore I say to thee, Let my sonne go, that he may serue me: if thou refuse to let him goe, beholde, I will slay thy sonne, euen thy first borne.

24 Waaqayyo karaa irratti iddoo bultiitti Museetti dhufee isa ajjeesuu barbaade.

And as he was by the waye in the ynne, the Lord met him, and would haue killed him.

25 Ziphooraa garuu dhagaa qara qabu fudhattee qola dhagna ilma ishee kuttee ittiin miilla Musee tuqxe. Isheenis, “Ati dhugumaan anaaf misirricha dhiigaati” jette.

Then Zipporah tooke a sharpe knife, and cut away the foreskinne of her sonne, and cast it at his feete, and said, Thou art indeede a bloody husband vnto me.

26 Waaqayyos isa dhiise. Yeroo sana isheen waaʼee dhagna qabaatiif, “Misirricha dhiigaa ti” jette.

So he departed from him. Then she saide, O bloodie husband (because of the circumcision)

27 Waaqayyos Arooniin, “Ati Musee simachuuf gara gammoojjii dhaqi!” jedhe. Innis dhaqee Tulluu Waaqaa irratti Musee argatee isa dhungate.

Then the Lord saide vnto Aaron, Goe meete Moses in the wildernesse. And he went and mette him in the Mount of God, and kissed him.

28 Yeroo sana Museen dubbii Waaqayyo akka inni dubbatuuf isa erge hundaa fi mallattoowwan akka inni hojjetuuf isa ajaje hunda Aroonitti hime.

Then Moses tolde Aaron all the wordes of the Lord, who had sent him, and all the signes wherewith he had charged him.

29 Musee fi Aroon maanguddoota Israaʼel hunda walitti qaban;

So went Moses and Aaron, and gathered all the Elders of the children of Israel.

30 Aroonis waan Waaqayyo Museetti hime hunda jaratti hime. Mallattoowwanis fuula namootaa duratti hojjete;

And Aaron told all the wordes, which the Lord had spoken vnto Moses, and he did the miracles in the sight of the people,

31 isaanis ni amanan. Jarris yommuu akka Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel ilaalee fi akka inni rakkina isaaniis arge dhagaʼanitti gad jedhanii sagadan.

And the people beleeued, and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and had looked vpon their tribulation, they bowed downe, and worshipped.
