Exodus 3
1 Ní ọjọ́ kan nígbà tí Mose ń ṣọ́ agbo ẹran Jetro baba ìyàwó rẹ̀, àlùfáà Midiani. Ó da agbo ẹran náà lọ sí ọ̀nà jíjìn nínú aginjù. Ó dé Horebu, òkè Ọlọ́run.
And Moses has been feeding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, priest of Midian, and he leads the flock behind the wilderness, and comes to the mountain of God, to Horeb;
2 Níbẹ̀ ni angẹli Olúwa ti yọ sí i nínú ọ̀wọ́-iná tí ń jó láàrín igbó. Mose rí i pé iná ń jó nínú igbó ṣùgbọ́n igbó kò run.
and the Messenger of YHWH appears to him in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he sees, and behold, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.
3 Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ pé, “Èmi yóò lọ wo ohun ìyanu yìí, ìdí tí iná kò fi jó igbó run.”
And Moses says, “Now I turn aside and see this great appearance. Why is the bush not burned?”
4 Nígbà tí Olúwa rí i pe Mose ti lọ láti lọ wò ó, Ọlọ́run ké pè é láti àárín igbó náà, “Mose! Mose!” Mose sì dáhùn ó wí pé, “Èmi nìyìí.”
And YHWH sees that he has turned aside to see, and God calls to him out of the midst of the bush and says, “Moses! Moses!” And he says, “Here I [am].”
5 Olúwa sì wí fún Mose pé, “Má ṣe súnmọ́ ìhín yìí, bọ́ sálúbàtà rẹ kúrò ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ, nítorí ibi tí ìwọ dúró sí i nì ilẹ̀ mímọ́ ni.”
And He says, “Do not come near here. Cast your shoes from off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
6 Nígbà náà ní ó wí pé, “Èmi ni Ọlọ́run baba rẹ, Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, Ọlọ́run Isaaki àti Ọlọ́run Jakọbu.” Nítorí ìdí èyí, Mose sì pa ojú rẹ̀ mọ́, nítorí ó bẹ̀rù láti bojú wo Ọlọ́run.
He also says, “I [am] the God of your father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob”; and Moses hides his face, for he is afraid to look toward God.
7 Olúwa si wí pé, “Èmí ti rí ìpọ́njú àwọn ènìyàn mi ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, mo sì ti gbọ́ ohùn igbe wọn nítorí àwọn akóniṣiṣẹ́ wọn. Ìyà tí ń jẹ wọ́n sì kan mi lára.
And YHWH says, “I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;
8 Èmi sì ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá láti gbà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ àwọn ará Ejibiti, àti láti mú wọn gòkè kúrò ní ilẹ̀ náà lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí ó dára tí ó sì ní ààyè, àní ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin; ibùgbé àwọn ará Kenaani, ará Hiti, Amori, Peresi, Hifi àti Jebusi.
and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land to a land good and broad, to a land flowing with milk and honey—to the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
9 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, wò ó, igbe àwọn ará Israẹli ti dé ọ̀dọ̀ mi, Èmi sì ti rí bí àwọn ará Ejibiti ti ṣe ń gbà ń jẹ wọ́n ní ìyà.
And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,
10 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, lọ, èmi yóò rán ọ sí Farao láti kó àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.”
and now, come, and I send you to Pharaoh; and bring out My people, the sons of Israel, from Egypt.”
11 Ṣùgbọ́n Mose wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Ta ni èmi, tí èmi yóò tọ Farao lọ, ti èmi yóò sì kó àwọn ará Israẹli jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti?”
And Moses says to God, “Who [am] I, that I go to Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?”
12 Nígbà náà ni Ọlọ́run wí fún Mose pé, “Èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ. Èyí ni yóò jẹ́ àmì fún ọ, tí yóò fihàn pé, èmi ni ó rán ọ lọ, nígbà tí ìwọ bá kó àwọn ènìyàn náà jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ẹ̀yin yóò sin Ọlọ́run ni orí òkè yìí.”
And He says, “Because I am with you, and this [is] the sign to you that I have sent you: in your bringing out the people from Egypt—you serve God on this mountain.”
13 Mose sì wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, “Bí mo bá tọ àwọn ará Israẹli lọ tí mo sì sọ fún wọn pé, ‘Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín ni ó rán mi sí i yín,’ tí wọ́n sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi pé, ‘Kí ni orúkọ rẹ̀?’ Kí ni èmi yóò sọ fún wọn ní ìgbà náà?”
And Moses says to God, “Behold, I am coming to the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they have said to me, What [is] His Name? What do I say to them?”
14 Ọlọ́run sì sọ fún Mose pé, “èmi ni ti ń jẹ́ èmi ni. Èyí ni ìwọ yóò sọ fún àwọn ará Israẹli: ‘èmi ni ni ó rán mi sí i yín.’”
And God says to Moses, “I AM THAT WHICH I AM.” He also says, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.”
15 Ọlọ́run sì wí fún Mose pẹ̀lú pé, “Báyìí ni kí ìwọ sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín; Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, Ọlọ́run Isaaki àti Ọlọ́run Jakọbu; ni ó rán mi sí i yín.’ “Èyí ni orúkọ mi títí ayérayé, orúkọ ti ẹ ó fi máa rántí mi láti ìran dé ìran.
And God says again to Moses, “Thus you say to the sons of Israel: YHWH, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this [is] My Name for all time, and this [is] My memorial, to generation [and] generation.
16 “Lọ, kó àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli jọ, kí o sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín, Ọlọ́run Abrahamu, ti Isaaki, àti ti Jakọbu; ni ó farahàn mi, ó sì wí pé, lóòótọ́ èmi ti ń bojú wò yín, èmi sì ti rí ohun tí wọ́n ṣe sí i yín ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
Go, and you have gathered the elderly of Israel, and have said to them: YHWH, God of your fathers, has appeared to me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;
17 Èmi sì ti ṣe ìlérí láti mú un yín jáde kúrò nínú ìpọ́njú yín ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti wá sí ilẹ̀ Kenaani, ará Hiti, Amori, Peresi, Hifi àti Jebusi; ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin.’
and I say [that] I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing [with] milk and honey.
18 “Àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli yóò fetísílẹ̀ sí ohùn rẹ. Nígbà náà ni ìwọ, àti àwọn àgbàgbà yóò jọ tọ ọba Ejibiti lọ, ẹ ó sì wí fún un pé, ‘Olúwa, Ọlọ́run àwọn ará Heberu ti pàdé wa. Jẹ́ kí a lọ ni ìrìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta sí inú aginjù láti lọ rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run.’
And they have listened to your voice, and you have entered, you and [the] elderly of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you have said to him: YHWH, God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n èmi mọ̀ pé ọba Ejibiti kò ní jẹ́ kí ẹ lọ bí kò ṣe pé ọwọ́ ńlá Ọlọ́run wà ni ara rẹ̀.
And I have known that the king of Egypt does not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,
20 Nítorí náà, èmi yóò na ọwọ́ mí láti lu àwọn ará Ejibiti pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun ìyanu tí èmi yóò ṣe ni àárín wọn. Lẹ́yìn náà, òun yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ máa lọ.
and I have put forth My hand, and have struck Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst—and afterward he sends you away.
21 “Èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí ẹ bá ojúrere àwọn ará Ejibiti pàdé. Tí yóò fi jẹ́ pé ti ẹ̀yin bá ń lọ, ẹ kò ní lọ ní ọwọ́ òfo.
And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it has come to pass, when you go, you do not go empty;
22 Gbogbo àwọn obìnrin ni ó ní láti béèrè lọ́wọ́ àwọn aládùúgbò wọn àti gbogbo àwọn obìnrin ti ń gbé nínú ilé rẹ fún ohun fàdákà àti wúrà àti fún aṣọ, èyí ti ẹ̀yin yóò wọ̀ sí ọrùn àwọn ọmọ yín ọkùnrin àti obìnrin. Báyìí ni ẹ̀yin yóò sì kó ẹrù àwọn ará Ejibiti.”
and [every] woman has asked from her neighbor, and from her who is sojourning in her house, [for] vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and you have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.”
