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.”
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Now dost thou see that which I do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he doth send them away, yea, with a strong hand he doth cast them out of his land.'
2 Pia Mungu akamwambia Mose, “Mimi ndimi Bwana.
And God speaketh unto Moses, and saith unto him, 'I [am] Jehovah,
3 Nilimtokea Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo kama Mungu Mwenyezi, ingawa sikuwajulisha Jina langu, Yehova, Mimi mwenyewe sikujitambulisha kwao.
and I appear unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; as to My name Jehovah, I have not been known to them;
4 Pia niliweka Agano langu nao kuwapa nchi ya Kanaani, ambako waliishi kama wageni.
and also I have established My covenant with them, to give to them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they have sojourned;
5 Zaidi ya hayo, nimesikia kilio cha huzuni cha Waisraeli ambao Wamisri wamewatia utumwani, nami nimelikumbuka Agano langu.
and also I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians are causing to serve, and I remember 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 say to the sons of Israel, I [am] Jehovah, and I have brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and have delivered you from their service, and have redeemed you by a stretched-out arm, and by 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 have taken you to Me for a people, and I have been to you for God, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God, who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians;
8 Nami nitawaleta mpaka nchi niliyoapa kwa mkono ulioinuliwa kumpa Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo. Nitawapa iwe milki yenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”
and I have brought you in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and have given it to you — a possession; I [am] Jehovah.'
9 Mose akawaarifu Waisraeli jambo hili, lakini hawakumsikiliza kwa sababu ya maumivu makuu ya moyoni na utumwa wa kikatili.
And Moses speaketh so unto the sons of Israel, and they hearkened not unto Moses, for anguish of spirit, and for harsh service.
10 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
11 “Nenda, mwambie Farao mfalme wa Misri awaachie Waisraeli waondoke nchini mwake.”
'Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he doth send the sons of Israel out of his land;
12 Lakini Mose akamwambia Bwana, “Ikiwa Waisraeli hawatanisikiliza, kwa nini yeye Farao anisikilize mimi, ambaye huzungumza kwa kigugumizi?”
and Moses speaketh before Jehovah, saying, 'Lo, the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, and how doth Pharaoh hear me, and I of uncircumcised lips?'
13 Ndipo Bwana akanena na Mose na Aroni kuhusu Waisraeli na Farao mfalme wa Misri, naye akawaamuru wawatoe Waisraeli kutoka Misri.
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and chargeth them for the sons of Israel, and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.
