Exodo 4
1 Sumagot si Moises, “Pero paano kung hindi sila maniwala o makinig sa akin pero sa halip na sabihin, 'Si Yahweh ay hindi nagpakita sa iyo'?”
And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not listen to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to you), what shall I say to them?
2 Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Ano iyang nasa kamay mo?” Sinabi ni Moises, “Isang tungkod.”
And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in your hand? and he said, A rod.
3 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Ihagis mo ito sa lupa.” Inihagis ito ni Moises sa lupa, at ito ay naging isang ahas. Tumakbo si Moises palayo dito.
And he said, Cast it on the ground: and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it.
4 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Damputin mo at hawakan ito sa buntot.” Kaya dinampot niya at hinawakan ang ahas. Naging tungkod ito muli sa kaniyang kamay.
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
5 “Ito ay para maniwala sila na si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng kanilang mga ninuno, ang Diyos ni Abraham, ang Diyos ni Isaac, at ang Diyos ni Jacob, ang nagpakita sa iyo.”
and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe you, that the God of your fathers has appeared to you, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
6 Sinabi rin ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Ngayon ilagay mo ang iyong kamay sa loob ng iyong balabal.” Kaya inilagay ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay sa loob ng kaniyang balabal. Nang ilabas niya ito, namasdan, na ang kaniyang kamay ay naging ketong, kasing puti ng niyebe.
And the Lord said again to him, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.
7 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Ilagay mo ulit ang iyong kamay sa loob ng iyong balabal.” Kaya inilagay ni Moises ang kaniyang kamay sa loob ng kaniyang balabal, at ng inilabas niya ito, nakita niya na naging malusog ito muli, tulad ng kaniyang ibang laman.
And he said again, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of his [other] flesh.
8 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Kung hindi sila maniniwala sa iyo—kung hindi nila bibigyang pansin ang unang palatandaan ng aking kapangyarihan o maniniwala dito, pagkatapos paniniwalaan nila ang ikalawang palatandaan.
And if they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you [because] of the voice of the second sign.
9 At kung hindi sila maniniwala kahit sa dalawang palatandaan ng aking kapangyarihan, o makikinig sa iyo, pagkatapos kumuha ka ng kaunting tubig mula sa ilog at ibuhos ito sa tuyong lupa. Ang tubig na iyong kinuha ay magiging dugo sa tuyong lupa.”
And it shall come to pass if they will not believe you for these two signs, and will not listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which you shall take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.
10 Pagkatapos sinabi ni Moises kay Yahweh, “Panginoon, hindi ako naging magaling manalita, kahit pa noong nakaraan o ni mula ng nakipag-usap ka sa iyong lingkod. Mahina ako sa pananalita at mahina ang dila.”
And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that you have begun to speak to your servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
11 Sinabi ni Yahweh sa kaniya, “Sino ba itong gumawa ng bibig ng tao? Sino bang gumawa sa taong pipi o bingi, nakakakita o bulag? Hindi ba ako, si Yahweh?
And the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?
12 Kaya ngayon lumakad ka at kasama mo ako sa iyong pananalita at tuturuan kita kung ano ang sasabihin.”
And now go and I will open your mouth, and will instruct you in what you shall say.
13 Pero sinabi ni Moises, “Panginoon, pakiusap magpadala ka nalang ng iba, sinuman ang gusto mong ipadala.”
And Moses said, I pray you, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom you shall send.
14 Pagkatapos nagalit si Yahweh kay Moises. Sinabi niya, “Ano kaya kung si Aaron, ang iyong kapatid na Levita? Alam ko na nakakapagsalita siya ng maayos. Bukod dito, paparating siya para makipagkita sa iyo, at kapag nakita ka niya, magsasaya ang kaniyang puso.
And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Behold! is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he will surely speak to you; and, behold, he will come forth to meet you, and beholding you he will rejoice within himself.
15 Makikipag-usap ka sa kaniya at ilalagay mo sa kaniyang bibig ang mga salita na dapat sabihin. Ako ay mapapasa iyong bibig at sa kaniyang bibig, at ipapakita ko sa inyo kung ano ang gagawin.
And you shall speak to him; and you shall put my words into his mouth, and I will open your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you shall do.
16 Magsasalita siya sa mga tao para sa iyo. Siya ang magiging tagapagsalita mo, at ikaw sa kaniya ay magiging tulad ko, parang Diyos.
And he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be for him in things pertaining to God.
17 Dadalhin mo ang tungkod na ito sa iyong kamay. Sa pamamagitan nito gagawin mo ang mga palatandaan.”
And this rod that was turned into a serpent you shall take in your hand, wherewith you shall work miracles.
18 Kaya bumalik si Moises kay Jetro ang kaniyang biyenang lalaki, at sinabi sa kaniya, “Payagan mo akong umalis para makabalik sa aking mga kamag-anak na nasa Ehipto at makita ko kung buhay pa ba sila.” Sinabi ni Jetro kay Moises, “Lumakad ka nang may kapayapaan.”
And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.
19 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises sa Midian, “Lumakad ka, bumalik ka sa Ehipto, dahil lahat ng mga taong nagnanais kunin ang iyong buhay ay patay na.”
And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought your life are dead.
20 Dinala ni Moises ang kaniyang asawa at mga anak na lalaki at isinakay niya sila sa asno. Bumalik siya sa lupain ng Ehipto, at dinala niya ang tungkod ng Diyos na nasa kaniyang kamay.
And Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from God in his hand.
21 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Kung babalik ka sa Ehipto, siguraduhin mong gawin sa harapan ni Paraon ang lahat ng mga kababalaghan na inilagay ko sa iyong kapangyarihan. Pero patitigasin ko ang kaniyang puso, at hindi niya paaalisin ang mga tao.
And the Lord said to Moses, When you go and return to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged you with, you shall work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.
22 Kailangan mong sabihin kay Paraon, 'Ito ang sinasabi ni Yahweh: ang Israel ay aking anak, ang aking panganay,
And you shall say to Pharao, These things says the Lord, Israel [is] my firstborn.
23 At sasabihin ko sa iyo, “Payagan mo ang aking anak na umalis, kaya siya ay sasamba sa akin.” Pero dahil ikaw ay tumangging paalisin siya, tiyak na papatayin ko ang iyong anak, ang iyong panganay.”'
And I said to you, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if you will not send them away, see, I will kill your firstborn son.
24 Ngayon habang nasa daan, nang huminto sila para sa gabi, si Yahweh ay nakipagkita kay Moises at sinubukang patayin siya.
And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to kill him.
25 Pagkatapos kumuha si Zepora ng batong matulis at pinutol niya ang unahang balat ng kaniyang anak na lalaki, at inilapat ito sa paa ni Moises. Pagkatapos sinabi niya, “Sigurado ako na ikaw ang lalaking ikakasal sa akin sa pamamagitan ng dugo.”
and Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:
26 Kaya hinayaan siya ni Yahweh na mag-isa. Sinabi niya, “Ikaw ang lalaking ikakasal sa dugo” dahil sa pagtutuli.
and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.
27 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Aaron, “Pumunta ka doon sa ilang para makipagkita kay Moises.” Pumunta si Aaron, at nakipagkita sa kaniya sa bundok ng Diyos, at hinalikan siya.
And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses; and he went and met him in the mount of God, and they kissed each other.
28 Sinabi ni Moises kay Aaron ang lahat ng mga salita ni Yahweh na ipinadala niya para sabihin at tungkol sa lahat ng mga palatandaan ng kapangyarihan ni Yahweh na iniutos niya na kaniyang gagawin.
And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.
29 Pagkatapos pumunta at tinipon nina Moises at Aaron ang lahat ng mga nakatatanda ng mga Israelita.
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.
30 Sinabi ni Aaron ang lahat ng mga salita na sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises. Ipinakita niya rin ang mga palatandaan ng kapangyarihan ni Yahweh sa paningin ng mga tao.
And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.
31 Naniwala ang mga tao. Nang marinig nila na si Yahweh ay nag-oobserba sa mga Israelita at nakita niya ang kanilang pagkaalipin, pagkatapos iniyuko nila ang kanilang mga ulo at sinamba siya.
and the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.
