Baʼuu 6
1 Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Amma waan ani Faraʼoon irratti hojjedhu ati ni argita: sababii irree koo jabaa sanaatiif mootichi gad isaan dhiisa; sababii irree koo jabaa sanaatiifis mootichi biyya isaa keessaa isaan ariʼa” jedhe.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”
2 Waaqni ammas Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ani Waaqayyo.
God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
3 Ani akka Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼuuttan Abrahaamitti, Yisihaaqittii fi Yaaqoobitti mulʼadhe; garuu maqaa koo Waaqayyoon isaanitti of hin beeksifne.
I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].
4 Akkasumas ani biyya Kanaʼaan lafa isaan akka alagaatti keessa jiraattan sana isaanii kennuuf jedhee isaan wajjin kakuu galeera.
I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which they were living as foreigners.
5 Kana irrattis, ani aaduu saba Israaʼel kanneen warra Gibxiin garboomfaman sanaa dhagaʼee kakuu koo yaadadheera.
Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].
6 “Kanaafuu saba Israaʼeliin akkana jedhi: ‘Ani Waaqayyo; waanjoo warra Gibxi jalaa isin nan baasa; ani garbummaa isaanii jalaa isin nan baasa; irree diriiraa fi murtii jabaadhaanis isin nan fura.
So tell the Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.
7 Ani akka saba ofii kootti isin fudhadha; Waaqa keessan nan taʼa. Yeroo sana isin akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan kan waanjoo warra Gibxi jalaa isin baase taʼe ni beektu.
I will cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.
8 Ani biyya isan Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif kennuuf harka koo ol qabadhee kakadhe sanatti isin nan galcha. Dhaala godhees isiniif kenna. Ani Waaqayyo.’”
And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”
9 Museenis waan kana saba Israaʼelitti hime; isaan garuu waan abdii kutatanii fi garbummaa hamaa keessa turaniif isa hin dhageenye.
Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].
10 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 “Dhaqiitii akka inni biyya isaa keessaa Israaʼeloota gad lakkisuuf Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxitti himi.”
“Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
12 Museen garuu Waaqayyoon, “Kunoo Israaʼeloonni na hin dhageenye; yoos Faraʼoon akkamitti na dhagaʼa ree? Afaan koo qajeelchee hin dubbatatuutii” jedhe.
But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]
13 Waaqayyo garuu waaʼee Israaʼelootaatii fi waaʼee Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi Musee fi Aroonitti dubbatee akka isaan saba Israaʼel Gibxii baasan isaan ajaje.
But Yahweh spoke to Aaron and Moses/me and commanded them/us, “Tell the Israeli people and the king of Egypt that I have [commissioned you two] to lead the Israeli people out of Egypt.”
