Kutoka 6
1 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Sasa utaona kitu nitakachomfanyia Farao: Kwa sababu ya mkono wangu wenye nguvu atawaachia watu waende; kwa sababu ya mkono wangu wenye nguvu atawafukuza waondoke nchini mwake.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall divorce them out of his land.”
2 Pia Mungu akamwambia Mose, “Mimi ndimi Bwana.
God spoke to Moses [Drawn out], and said to him, “I am Adonai;
3 Nilimtokea Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo kama Mungu Mwenyezi, ingawa sikuwajulisha Jina langu, Yehova, Mimi mwenyewe sikujitambulisha kwao.
and I appeared to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter], as El Shaddai [God Almighty]; but by my name Adonai I was not known to them.
4 Pia niliweka Agano langu nao kuwapa nchi ya Kanaani, ambako waliishi kama wageni.
I have also established my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· with them, to give them the land of Canaan [Humbled], the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.
5 Zaidi ya hayo, nimesikia kilio cha huzuni cha Waisraeli ambao Wamisri wamewatia utumwani, nami nimelikumbuka Agano langu.
Moreover I have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the groaning of the children of Israel [God prevails], whom the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery] keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.
6 “Kwa hiyo, waambie Waisraeli: ‘Mimi ndimi Bwana, nami nitawatoa mtoke katika kongwa la Wamisri. Nitawaweka huru mtoke kuwa watumwa wao, nami nitawakomboa kwa mkono ulionyooshwa pamoja na matendo makuu ya hukumu.
Therefore tell the children of Israel [God prevails], ‘I am Adonai, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery], and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:
7 Nitawatwaa mwe watu wangu mwenyewe, nami nitakuwa Mungu wenu. Ndipo mtajua kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, niliyewatoa chini ya kongwa la Wamisri.
and I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am Adonai your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians [people from Abode of slavery].
8 Nami nitawaleta mpaka nchi niliyoapa kwa mkono ulioinuliwa kumpa Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo. Nitawapa iwe milki yenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter]; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Adonai.’”
9 Mose akawaarifu Waisraeli jambo hili, lakini hawakumsikiliza kwa sababu ya maumivu makuu ya moyoni na utumwa wa kikatili.
Moses [Drawn out] spoke so to the children of Israel [God prevails], but they didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· unto Moses [Drawn out] for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
11 “Nenda, mwambie Farao mfalme wa Misri awaachie Waisraeli waondoke nchini mwake.”
“Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt [Abode of slavery], that he let the children of Israel [God prevails] go out of his land.”
12 Lakini Mose akamwambia Bwana, “Ikiwa Waisraeli hawatanisikiliza, kwa nini yeye Farao anisikilize mimi, ambaye huzungumza kwa kigugumizi?”
Moses [Drawn out] spoke before Adonai, saying, “Behold, the children of Israel [God prevails] haven’t sh'ma ·heard obeyed· unto me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who am of uncircumcised lips?”
13 Ndipo Bwana akanena na Mose na Aroni kuhusu Waisraeli na Farao mfalme wa Misri, naye akawaamuru wawatoe Waisraeli kutoka Misri.
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], and gave them an enjoinment to the children of Israel [God prevails], and to Pharaoh king of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to bring the children of Israel [God prevails] out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
