< Kutoka 3 >

1 Wakati huu Musa aliendelea kuchunga mifugo ya Yethro baba mkwe wake, kuhani wa Midiani. Musa aliliongoza kundi la mifugo kuelekea upande wa mbali wa jangwa mpaka kufika Horebu, mlima wa Mungu.
And Moses he was pasturing [the] flock of Jethro father-in-law his [the] priest of Midian and he drove the flock behind the wilderness and he came to [the] mountain of God Horeb towards.
2 Akiwa pale malaika wa Yahwe akamtokea kama mwali wa moto katika kichaka. Musa aliangalia, na tazama, kichaka kiliwaka moto lakini hakikuteketea.
And he appeared [the] angel of Yahweh to him in a flame of fire from [the] middle of the bush and he saw and there! the bush [was] burning with fire and the bush not it [was] consumed.
3 Musa akasema, “Nitageuka ili nione kitaku hiki cha ajabu, kwa nini kichaka hakiteketei.”
And he said Moses I will turn aside please so I may see the sight great this why? not is it burning the bush.
4 Yahwe alipoona ya kuwa amegeuka upande ili aone, Mungu alimwita kutoka katika kile kichaka na kusema, “Musa, Musa.” Musa akasema, “Mimi hapa.”
And he saw Yahweh that he had turned aside to look and he called to him God from [the] middle of the bush and he said O Moses Moses and he said here [am] I.
5 Mungu akasema, “Usinikaribie! Vua viatu katika miguu yako, kwa kuwa mahali uliposimama ni mahali palipowekwa wakfu kwa ajili yangu.”
And he said may not you draw near here take off sandals your from on feet your for the place which you [are] standing on it [is] ground of holiness it.
6 Aliongeza kusema, “Mimi ni Mungu wa baba yako, Mungu wa Abrahamu, Mungu wa Isaka, na Mungu wa Yakobo.” Kisha Musa akaufunika uso wake, kwa kuwa aliogopa kumwangalia Mungu.
And he said I [am] [the] God of father your [the] God of Abraham [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob and he hid Moses face his for he was afraid from looking to God.
7 Yahwe akasema, “Hakika nimeyaona mateso ya watu wangu walioko Misri. Nimesikia kelele zao kwa sababu ya mabwana wao, kwa kuwa nayajua mateso yao.
And he said Yahweh certainly I have seen [the] affliction of people my which [is] in Egypt and cry of distress their I have heard because of taskmasters its for I know pains its.
8 Nimekuja chini kuwaokoa dhidi ya mamlaka ya Wamisri na kuwatoa katika nchi ile na kuwaleta katika nchi nzuri, pana, nchi ijaayo maziwa na asali; kwenye ukanda wa Wakanaani, Wahiti, Waamori, Waperizi, Wahivi, na Wayebusi.
And I have come down to deliver it - from [the] hand of Egypt and to bring up it from the land that into a land good and spacious into a land flowing of milk and honey to [the] place of the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
9 Sasa kilio cha watu wa Israeli kimenifikia mimi. Zaidi sana, Mimi nimeyaona mateso ambayo Wamisri wanawatesa.
And now there! [the] cry of distress of [the] people of Israel it has come to me and also I have seen the oppression which Egypt [are] oppressing them.
10 Sasa basi, nitakutuma wewe kwa Farao ili upate kuwatoa watu wangu, wana wa Israeli, kutoka katika nchi ya Misri.”
And therefore go! and I will send you to Pharaoh and bring out people my [the] people of Israel from Egypt.
11 Lakini Musa akamwambia Mungu, “Mimi ni nani hata niende kwa Farao na kuwatoa Waisraeli kutoka Misri?”
And he said Moses to God who? [am] I that I will go to Pharaoh and that I will bring out [the] people of Israel from Egypt.
12 Mungu akamjibu, “Hakika nitakuwa pamoja nawe. Hii itakuwa ishara kwako ya kuwa nimekutuma. Utakapokuwa umewatoa watu kutoka Misri, mtaniabubu mimi katika mlima huu.”
And he said that I will be with you and this for you [will be] the sign that I I sent you when bringing out you the people from Egypt you will serve! God on the mountain this.
13 Musa akamwambia Mungu, “Nikienda kwa Waisraeli na kuwaambia, 'Mungu wa baba zenu amenituma mimi kwenu,' na kisha wakiniambia, 'jina lake nani?' nitawaambia nini?”
And he said Moses to God here! I [am] about to go to [the] people of Israel and I will say to them [the] God of ancestors your he has sent me to you and they will say to me what? [is] name his what? will I say to them.
14 Mungu akamwambia Musa, “MIMI NIPO AMBAYE NIPO.” Mungu akasema, “Ni lazima uwaambie Waisraeli, “MIMI NIPO amenituma kwenu.”
And he said God to Moses I am [that] which I am and he said thus you will say to [the] people of Israel I am he has sent me to you.
15 Pia Mungu akamwambia Musa, “Lazima uwaambie Waisraeli, 'Yahwe, Mungu wa baba zenu, Mungu wa Abrahamu, Mungu wa Isaka, na Mungu wa Yakobo amenituma mimi kwenu. Hili ndio jina langu milele, na hivi ndivyo nitakavyokumbukwa na vizazi vyote.'
And he said again God to Moses thus you will say to [the] people of Israel Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your [the] God of Abraham [the] God of Isaac and [the] God of Jacob he has sent me to you this [is] name my for ever and this [is] memorial my to a generation generation.
16 Nenda ukawakusanye wazee wa Israeli pamoja. Waambie, 'Yahwe, Mungu wa baba zenu, Mungu wa Abrahamu, wa Isaka na Yakobo, amenitokea mimi na kusema, “Hakika nimewatazama na nimeona yale mliyotendewa huko Misri.
Go and you will gather [the] elders of Israel and you will say to them Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your he appeared to me [the] God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob saying certainly I have observed you and the [thing] done to you in Egypt.
17 Nimeahidi kuwatoa ninyi katika mateso ya Misri na kuwaleta katika nchi ya Wakanaani, Wahiti, Wamwori, Waperizi, Wahivi, na Wayebusi. Nchi ijaayo maziwa na asali.”
And I have said I will bring up you from [the] affliction of Egypt into [the] land of the Canaanite[s] and the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] and the Perizzite[s] and the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s] into a land flowing of milk and honey.
18 Watakusikiliza. Wewe pamoja na wazee wa Israeeli itawapasa kwenda kwa mfalme wa Misri, na imewapasa kumwambia, 'Yahwe, Mungu wa Waebrania amekutana nasi. Hivyo tuache sisi twende safari ya siku tatu katika jangwa ili tupate kutoa sadaka kwa Yahwe Mungu wetu.'
And they will listen to voice your and you will go you and [the] elders of Israel to [the] king of Egypt and you will say to him Yahweh [the] God of the Hebrews he has met with us and therefore let us go please a journey of three days in the wilderness and let us sacrifice to Yahweh God our.
19 Lakini nafahamu ya kuwa mfalme wa Misri hatawaacha ninyi mwende, isipokuwa kwa kulazimishwa.
And I I know that not he will permit you [the] king of Egypt to go and not by a hand strong.
20 Nitainua mkono wangu na kuwapiga Wamisri kwa miujiza yote nitakayoifanya kati yao. Baada ya hayo, atawaacha mwende.
And I will stretch out hand my and I will strike Egypt with all wonders my which I will do in midst its and after thus he will let go you.
21 Nitawapa watu hawa kufadhiliwa kutoka kwa Wamisri ili muondokapo msiende mikono mitupu.
And I will give [the] favor of the people this in [the] eyes of Egypt and it will be that you will go! not you will go empty.
22 Kila mwanamke ataomba kwa jirani yake Mmisri na kwa kila mwanamke akaaye kwenye nyumba ya jirani yake, vyombo vya fedha na vya dhahabu na nguo. Nanyi mtawavika watoto wenu wa kiume na binti zenu. Kwa njia hii mtawateka nyara Wamisri.”
And she will ask [each] woman from [female] neighbor her and from [the] [female] sojourner of house her articles of silver and articles of gold and clothes and you will put [them] on sons your and on daughters your and you will plunder Egypt.
