< Ekisodho 6 >

1 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Zvino uchaona zvandichaita kuna Faro. Nokuda kworuoko rwangu rune simba achavaregera kuti vaende; nokuda kworuoko rwangu rune simba achavadzinga munyika make.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
2 Mwari akatiwo kuna Mozisi, “Ndini Jehovha.
And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am Jehovah.
3 Ndakazviratidza kuna Abhurahama, kuna Isaka, nokuna Jakobho saMwari Wamasimba Ose, asi nezita rangu, Jehovha, handina kuzvizivisa kwavari.
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as the Almighty God; but by my name Jehovah I was not made known to them.
4 Ndakasimbisawo sungano yangu navo kuti ndivape nyika yeKenani, nyika yavakagara savatorwa.
And I established also my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were sojourners.
5 Pamusoro paizvozvo, ndanzwa kugomera kwavaIsraeri, vakabatwa muutapwa navaIjipita, uye ndarangarira sungano yangu.
And I have heard also the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians have forced to serve, and I have remembered my covenant.
6 “Naizvozvo, uti kuvaIsraeri, ‘Ndini Jehovha, uye ndichakubudisai kubva pasi pejoko ravaIjipita. Ndichakusunungurai kuti musava nhapwa kwavari, uye ndichakudzikinurai noruoko rwakatambanudzwa uye nokutonga kwamabasa makuru.
Therefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their service, and I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments.
7 Ndichakutorai savanhu vangu, uye ndichava Mwari wenyu. Ipapo muchaziva kuti ndini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, akakubvisai pasi pejoko ravaIjipita.
And I will take you to me for a people, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah your God, am he who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8 Uye ndichakuuyisai kunyika yandakapika ndakasimudza ruoko kuna Abhurahama, kuna Isaka nokuna Jakobho. Ndichaipa kwamuri senhaka yenyu. Ndini Jehovha.’”
And I will bring you into the land concerning which I swore to give it unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; and I will give it you for a possession: I am Jehovah.
9 Mozisi akazivisa izvi kuvaIsraeri, asi havana kumuteerera nokuda kwokuora mwoyo kwavo uye nousungwa hune utsinye.
And Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not listen to Moses from anguish of spirit, and from hard service.
10 Ipapo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
11 “Enda undotaurira Faro mambo weIjipiti kuti arege vaIsraeri vabude munyika yake.”
Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
12 Asi Mozisi akati kuna Jehovha, “Kana vaIsraeri vasinganditeereri, Faro anganditeerera seiko, sezvo ndichitaura nemiromo inokakama?”
And Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying, Lo, the children of Israel do not hearken to me: how then should Pharaoh hearken to me, to me of uncircumcised lips?
13 Zvino Jehovha akataura kuna Mozisi naAroni pamusoro pavaIsraeri napamusoro paFaro mambo weIjipiti, uye akavarayira kuti vabudise vaIsraeri kubva muIjipiti.
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a commandment to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
