Kutoka 6

1 Kisha Yahweh akasema na Musa, “Sasa utaona nitakacho fanya kwa Farao. Utaona hili, kwa kuwa ata waacha waenda kwa mkono wangu hodari. Kwasababu ya mkono wangu hodari, ata waondoa nje ya nchi.”

And the LORD said unto 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 Mungu akasema na Musa na kumwambia, “Mimi ni Yahweh.

And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him: 'I am the LORD;

3 Nilimtokea Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo kama Mungu mwenye nguvu; lakini kwa jina langu, Yahweh, sikujuliikana kwao.

and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Jehovah I made Me not known to them.

4 Pia niliimarisha agano langu na wao, ilikuwapatia nchi ya Kanani, nchi walioishi kama sio raia, nchi walio tanga tanga.

And I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned.

5 Zaidi ya yote, nimesikia kilio cha Waisraeli ambao wa Misri wame wa chukua watumwa, na nimekumbuka agano langu.

And moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered My covenant.

6 Kisha basi, sema kwa Waisraeli, 'Mimi ni Yahweh. Nitawatoa kwenye utumwa chini ya wa Misri, na kuwaweka huru na nguvu zao. Nitawaokoa kwa kudhihirisha nguvu zangu, na kwa matendo ya ajabu ya hukumu.

Wherefore say unto the children of Israel: I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments;

7 Nitawaleta kwangu kama watu wangu, na nitakuwa Mungu wenu. Mtajua kuwa mimi ndiye Yahweh Mungu wenu, aliye watoa kwenye utumwa chini ya wa Misri.

and I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 Nitawaleta kwenye nchi niliyo muahidi kumpa Ibrahimu, Isaka, na Yakobo. Nitawapa kama mali yenu. Mimi ni Yahweh.”'

And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning which I lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am the LORD.'

9 Musa alipo waambia haya Waisraeli, hawakumsiliza kwasababu ya mateso magumu ya utumwa wao.

And Moses spoke so unto the children of Israel; but they hearkened not unto Moses for impatience of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

10 Hivyo Yahweh akazungumza na Musa na kumwambia,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

11 “Nenda umwambie Farao, mfalme wa Misri, awaache watu wa Israeli waondoke kwenye nchi yake.”

'Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.'

12 Musa akamwambia Yahweh, “Kama Waisraeli hawajanisikiliza mimi, kwa nini Farao anisikillize mimi, tangu mimi sio mzuri wakuzungumza?”

And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying: 'Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?'

13 Yahweh akasema na Musa na Aruni. Akawapa amri ya Waisraeli na Farao, mfalme wa Misri, awatoe Waisraeli kutoka nchi ya Misri.

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

These are they that spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses and Aaron.

28 Pale Yahweh alipo zungumza na Musa katika nchi ya Misri,

And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spoke unto Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 alimwambia, “Mimi ni Yahweh. Sema kwa Farao, mfalme wa MIsri, kila kitu nitacho kwambia.”

that the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 'I am the LORD; speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak unto thee.'

30 Lakini Musa alimwambia Yahweh, “Mimi sio mzuri wa kuongea, hivyo kwanini Farao anisikilize mimi?”

And Moses said before the LORD: 'Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?'
