Baxniintii 4
1 Markaasaa Muuse jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Laakiinse, bal ogow, ima ay rumaysan doonaan, codkaygana ma ay dhegaysan doonaan, waayo, waxay igu odhan doonaan, Rabbigu kuuma uu muuqanin.
Moses/I replied, “But what if [the Israeli people] (do not believe me/are not convinced) or not do what I tell them? What if they say, ‘Yahweh did not appear to you!’”
2 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa maxay waxaas gacantaada ku jiraa? Oo wuxuu yidhi, Waa ul.
Yahweh said to him/me, “[Look at] that thing you are holding in your hand. What is it?” He/I replied, “A (walking stick/shepherd’s stick).”
3 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Bal dhulka ku tuur. Markaasuu dhulka ku tuuray, oo waxay noqotay abeeso. Kolkaasaa Muuse ka hor cararay.
He said, “Throw it down on the ground!” So, he/I threw it on the ground, and it became a snake! And he/I ran/jumped away from it.
4 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Bal gacanta soo fidi oo dabada ku dheg, kolkaasuu gacantii soo fidiyey oo dabada ku dhegay, kolkaasay noqotay ul gacantiisa ku jirta.
But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Reach down and pick it up by its tail!” So he/I reached down and caught it, and [when he/I picked it up], it became a stick in his/my hand [again.]
5 Sidaas yeel inay ku rumaystaan inuu kuu muuqday Rabbiga ah Ilaahii awowayaashood, oo ah Ilaahii Ibraahim, iyo Ilaahii Isxaaq, iyo Ilaahii Yacquub.
Yahweh said, “[Do the same thing in front of the Israeli people], in order that they may believe that [I], Yahweh God, the one Abraham and Isaac and Jacob worshiped, truly appeared to you.”
6 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu kaloo ku sii yidhi isagii, Bal gacanta laabta saar, markaasuu gacanta laabta saaray, oo markii uu ka qaaday, bal eeg, gacantii baras bay yeelatay oo waxay u caddaatay sida baraf cad.
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again, saying “Put your hand inside your robe [MTY]!” He/I did that. And when he/I took it out again, [surprisingly], his/my hand was white. It had a skin disease [that made it] as white as snow.
7 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Bal gacanta laabta mar kale saar. Kolkaasuu mar kale gacantii laabta saaray, oo markii uu ka qaaday laabtii, bal eeg, waxay haddana u rogmatay oo u ekaatay sida jidhkiisii kale.
Then God said, “Put your hand back inside your robe [MTY]!” So he/I did that, and when he/I took it out again, surprisingly, it was normal again, just like the rest of his/my body!
8 Oo waxay noqon doontaa, hadday kugu rumaysan waayaan oo ay calaamada hore codkeeda maqli waayaan, de markaas calaamada dambe codkeeday rumaysan doonaan.
God said, “[You can do that in front of the Israeli people, too]. If they do not pay attention to what you say because of [seeing] the first miracle, they will (believe [you/be convinced) when you perform] the second miracle.
9 Oo haddana waxay noqon doontaa, hadday rumaysan waayaan labadan calaamo, oo weliba ay codkaaga maqli waayaan, de markaas bal waa inaad webiga biyo ka qaaddid oo aad dhulka engegan ku shubtid, oo biyihii aad webiga ka qaadday, markay gaadhaan dhulka engegan dhiig bay noqon doonaan.
If they do not believe you or do what you say, even [after you perform] those two miracles, get some water from the Nile [River] and pour it on the ground. [When you do that], the water from the river that you pour on the ground will become blood [MTY] (OR, [red like] blood).”
10 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Rabbiga ku yidhi, Rabbiyow, anigu codkar ma ahi, hadda iyo hore toona, iyo tan iyo markaad ila hadashay anigoo addoonkaaga ah, maxaa yeelay, anigu hadalka waan shigaa, waanan carrab la'ahay.
Moses/I replied, “O Yahweh! I am not an eloquent [speaker]! I was not an eloquent speaker before, and I have not become one since you started talking to me! I am not a good speaker [MTY], and I speak very slowly.”
11 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Kan dadka afkiisa sameeyey waa ayo? Yaase dadka carrab tira, ama dhego tira, ama wax tusa, ama indho tira? Sow anigan Rabbiga ah ma aha?
Then Yahweh said to him/me, “[You seem to forget] who it is that makes people able to speak [RHQ]! Who is it that enables people to be unable to speak or unable to hear, or able to see or not to see? It is I, Yahweh [RHQ]!
12 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed tag, oo anigaa afkaaga la jiri doona oo ku bari doona wixii aad ku hadli lahayd.
So start going [to Egypt], and I will help you to speak [MTY], and I will tell you what you should say.”
13 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, Waan ku baryayaaye, dir kaad doonaysid inaad dirtid.
But he/I replied, “O, Yahweh, I ask you, please send someone else [instead]!”
14 Markaasaa Rabbigu u cadhooday Muuse, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Sow ma joogo walaalkaa Haaruun oo ah reer Laawi? Waan ogahay inuu isagu si wanaagsan u hadli karo. Oo bal ogow, wuu u soo socdaa inuu kula kulmo, oo markuu ku arko, qalbigiisuu ka farxi doonaa.
Then Yahweh became very angry with Moses/me. He said, “[What about] your [older] brother Aaron, who is [also] a descendant of Levi? I know that he is a very good/eloquent speaker. He is actually on his way here [right now], and he will be very happy to see you.
15 Haddaba waa inaad isaga la hadashaa, oo aad erayada afkiisa ku riddaa, oo anigu afkaagaan la jiri doonaa, iyo afkiisaba, oo waxaan idin barayaa wixii aad samayn lahaydeen.
You can talk to him and tell him what to say [MTY], and I will help both of you [SYN] to know what to say [MTY]. And I will tell you both what you should do.
16 Oo isagu wuxuu kuu noqon doonaa ninka dadka kuula hadla, oo waxay noqon doontaa inuu isagu af kuu noqdo, adna waxaad isaga u noqon doontaa Ilaah oo kale.
He will speak for you to the [Israeli] people. He will be (your spokesman/as though he was your mouth) [MET], and you will be to him as though you are [his] god.
17 Haddaba waa inaad gacanta ku qaadatid ushan aad cajaa'ibyada ku samayn doontid.
[Be sure] to take with you the walking/shepherd’s stick [that is in your hand], because you will perform miracles with it.”
18 Markaasaa Muuse tegey oo wuxuu ku noqday soddoggiis Yetroo, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, Bal i sii daa aan tagee, oo ku noqdo walaalahayga Masar jooga, oo aan soo arkee bal inay nool yihiin iyo in kale. Markaasaa Yetroo wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Nabad ku tag.
Moses/I returned to his/my father-in-law Jethro and said to him, “Please let me go back to Egypt, to see my fellow Israelis there. I want to know if they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses/me, “Go, and may [God give you inner] peace.”
19 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi Muuse, isagoo Midyaan jooga, Tag, oo Masar ku noqo, waayo, dadkii doondoonayay inay nafta kaa qaadaan way wada dhinteen.
Yahweh said to Moses/me [before he/I left] Midian, “You can [safely] return to Egypt, because the men who were wanting to kill you [MTY] are [now] dead.”
20 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu watay naagtiisii iyo wiilashiisii, oo wuxuu saartay dameer, wuxuuna ku noqday dalkii Masar. Markaasaa Muuse ushii Ilaah gacanta ku qaatay.
So Moses/I took his/my wife and sons and put them on donkeys, and they/we returned to Egypt. And Moses/I took in his/my hand the stick that God [told him/me to take along].
21 Rabbiguna wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Markii aad Masar ku noqotid, cajaa'ibyadii aan gacantaada ku riday oo dhan Fircoon hortiisa ku samee, laakiinse anigu qalbigiisaan qallafin doonaa, oo dadka ma uu sii dayn doono inay tagaan.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “When you return to Egypt, be sure to perform all the miracles that I have given you power [to do], while the king is watching. But I will make him stubborn [IDM], with the result that he will not let the Israeli people leave [Egypt].
22 Oo waxaad Fircoon ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Israa'iil waa wiilkayga curadka ah,
Then say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says: “The Israeli [people] [MTY] are [as dear to] me as firstborn sons [MET].
23 oo waxaan adiga kugu idhi, Wiilkayga sii daa, ha tagee oo ha ii adeegee. Adiguse waad u diiday inuu tago. Bal hadda ogow, waxaan dili doonaa wiilkaaga curadka ah.
I told you to let my people [MTY] leave [Egypt], in order that they may worship me [in the desert]. If you refuse to let them go, I warn you, I will kill your firstborn son!”’”
24 Intay jidka sii socdeen meel bay ku habeen dhexeen, Rabbi baana ugu yimid, oo wuxuu damcay inuu dilo isaga.
[One night], as they were camping on the way [to Egypt], Yahweh appeared to Moses/me. He wanted/threatened to kill Moses/me [for disobeying his command that boys/sons be circumcised].
25 Markaasaa Siforaah waxay qaadatay dhagax af leh, oo wiilkeedii buuryadiisii bay ku gooysay, oo waxay ku ag tuurtay cagihiisa oo tidhi, Hubaal waxaad ii tahay arooskii dhiigga.
Then [his/my wife] Zipporah took a flint knife and circumcised her son. Then she touched the boy’s feet (OR, genitals) with the piece of skin [she had cut off], and she said, “The blood [which flowed when I circumcised you] will protect you [from being harmed by Yahweh] [MET].”
26 Markaasuu iska daayay isagii. Kolkaasay tidhi, Waxaad ii tahay arooskii dhiigga gudniinta aawadeed.
She said to him, “You are safe now [MET] because you have been circumcised.” So Yahweh did not harm her son.
27 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Haaruun ku yidhi, Tag inaad Muuse kaga hor tagtid cidlada dhexdeeda. Markaasuu tegey, oo wuxuu kaga hor tegey buurta Ilaah, kolkaasuu dhunkaday.
Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go into the desert to meet/see Moses!” So he went [there from Egypt] and met him/me at [Sinai], the mountain dedicated to God, and [greeted him/me by] kissing him/me [on the cheek].
28 Kolkaasaa Muuse wuxuu Haaruun u sheegay erayadii Rabbigu u soo faray oo dhan, iyo calaamooyinkii uu ku amray oo dhan.
Moses/I told Aaron everything that Yahweh had said to him/me when he told him/me to return to Egypt. He/I also told Aaron about all the miracles that Yahweh told him/me to perform.
29 Markaasaa Muuse iyo Haaruun tageen oo waxay isu soo ururiyeen waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.
[So Aaron and Moses/I] returned [to Egypt]. There they/we gathered together all the Israeli elders/leaders.
30 Markaasaa Haaruun kula hadlay erayadii Rabbigu Muuse u soo faray oo dhan, calaamooyinkiina dadka hortiisuu ku sameeyey.
Aaron told them everything that Yahweh had told Moses/me, and Aaron performed [all] the miracles as the people watched.
31 Dadkiina way rumaysteen, oo markay maqleen inuu Rabbigu soo booqday reer binu Israa'iil iyo inuu arkay dhibaatadooda ayay madaxa hoos u foorariyeen oo caabudeen.
They believed [that what they/we were saying was true]. When they heard that Yahweh had seen how the Israeli people were being cruelly oppressed and that he was going to help them, they bowed down and worshiped [Yahweh].
