6 kayong mga kaapu-apuhan ni Abraham na kaniyang lingkod, kayong mga anak ni Jacob, na kaniyang mga pinili.
7 Siya si Yahweh, ang ating Diyos. Ang kaniyang mga kautusan ay sumasaklaw sa buong mundo.
He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
8 Inaalala niya ang kaniyang tipan magpakailanman, ang salita na kaniyang iniutos sa sanlibong salinlahi.
He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
9 Iniisip niya ang tipan na kaniyang ginawa kasama ni Abraham at ang kaniyang panunumpa kay Isaac.
that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
10 Ito ay kung ano ang pinagtibay kay Jacob na alituntunin at sa Israel na magpasawalang-hanggang tipan.
[Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
11 Sinabi niya, “Ibibigay ko ang lupain ng Canaan bilang bahagi ng iyong mana.”
What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
12 Sinabi niya ito noong kaunti pa lamang ang bilang nila, labis na kaunti, at mga dayuhan pa sa lupain.
[He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
13 Galing (sila) mula sa isang bansa tungo sa ibang bansa at mula sa isang kaharian patungo sa isa pa.
They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
14 Hindi niya ipinahintulutang apihin (sila) ng sinuman; kaniyang sinuway ang mga hari dahil sa kanilang kapakanan.
But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
15 Sinabi niya, “Huwag ninyong galawin ang mga hinirang, at huwag ninyong gawan ng masama ang aking mga propeta.”
“Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
16 Nagdala siya ng taggutom sa lupa; pinutol niya ang lahat ng pinagkukunan ng tinapay.
He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
17 Pinauna niya ang isang lalaki sa kanila; ipinagbili si Jose bilang isang alipin.
So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
18 Ginapos ang kaniyang mga paa ng kadena; mga bakal na kadena ang itinali sa kaniya.
[Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
19 hanggang sa panahon na ang kaniyang hula ay nagkatotoo. Pinatunayan ng salita ni Yahweh na siya ay matuwid.
There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
20 Nagpadala ang hari ng mga lingkod para pakawalan siya; pinalaya siya ng pinuno ng mga tao.
The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
21 Siya ay itinalagang mamahala sa kaniyang bahay bilang pinuno ng lahat ng kaniyang mga ari-arian
[Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
22 para pangunahan ang kaniyang mga prinsipe ayon sa kaniyang hiling at para turuan ang mga nakatatanda ng karunungan.
(Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
23 Pagkatapos, dumating ang Israel sa Ehipto, at si Jacob ay nanirahan ng matagal sa lupain ng Ham.
Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
24 Pinarami ng Diyos ang kaniyang bayan at ginawa niyang mas marami kaysa sa kanilang mga kalaban.
And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
25 Siya ang nagdulot sa kanilang mga kaaway na kapootan ang kaniyang bayan, para abusuhin ang kaniyang mga lingkod.
[So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
26 Pinadala niya si Moises, ang kaniyang lingkod, at si Aaron, na kaniyang pinili.
[But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
27 Isinagawa nila ang kaniyang mga himala sa mga taga-Ehipto, ang kaniyang mga kababalaghan sa lupain ng Ham.
Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
28 Nagpadala siya ng kadiliman at pinadilim ang lupain, pero hindi sumunod sa kaniyang mga utos ang mga tao rito.
Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
29 Ginawa niyang dugo ang tubig at pinatay ang kanilang mga isda.
Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
30 Ang kanilang lupain ay napuno ng mga palaka, kahit sa mga silid ng kanilang mga pinuno.
[Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
31 Nagsalita siya, at dumating ang mga pulutong ng langaw at niknik sa buong bansa nila.
[Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
32 Nagpadala siya ng yelo at ulan na may kasamang kidlat at kulog sa kanilang lupain.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
33 Winasak niya ang kanilang ubasan at mga puno ng igos; at binali niya ang mga puno sa kanilang bansa.
The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
34 Nagsalita siya, at dumating ang mga balang, napakaraming mga balang.
He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
35 Kinain ng mga balang ang lahat ng gulayan sa kanilang lupain; at kinain nila ang lahat ng mga pananim sa lupa.
The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
36 Pinatay niya ang lahat ng panganay sa kanilang lupain, ang mga unang bunga ng lahat ng kanilang kalakasan.
[Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
37 Inilabas niya ang mga Israelita na may dalang pilak at ginto; walang sinuman sa kaniyang angkan ang natisod sa daan.
Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
38 Natuwa ang Ehipto nang (sila) ay umalis, dahil takot sa kanila ang mga taga-Ehipto.
[The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
39 Ikinalat niya ang ulap para maging takip at gumawa ng apoy para magbigay liwanag sa gabi.
[Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
40 Humingi ng pagkain ang mga Israelita, at nagdala siya ng mga pugo at binusog (sila) ng tinapay mula sa langit.
[Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
41 Biniyak niya ang malaking bato, at bumulwak ang tubig mula rito; umagos ito sa ilang tulad ng ilog.
[One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
42 Dahil inaalala niya ang kaniyang banal na pangako na kaniyang ginawa kay Abraham na kaniyang lingkod.
[He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
43 Inilabas niya ang kaniyang bayan na may kagalakan, ang kaniyang pinili na may sigaw ng katagumpayan.
So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
44 Ibinigay niya sa kanila ang mga lupain ng mga bansa; inangkin nila ang mga kayamanan ng mga tao
He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
45 nang sa gayon ay mapanatili nila ang kaniyang mga alituntunin at sundin ang kaniyang mga kautusan. Purihin si Yahweh.
[Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
