Exodus 6
1 Nígbà náà ní Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Ní ìsin yìí, ìwọ yóò rí ohun tí èmi yóò ṣe sí Farao pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára ńlá mi ni yóò fi jẹ́ kí wọn lọ; pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára ńlá mi, òun yóò lé wọn jáde kúrò ní orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ̀.”
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now you will see what I will do to the king [and his people]. I will powerfully [MTY] compel him to let my people go. In fact, by my power [MTY] [I will force] him to expel them from his land!”
2 Ọlọ́run sì tún sọ fún Mose pé, “Èmi ni Olúwa.
God also said to Moses/me, “I am Yahweh.
3 Mo fi ara hàn Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Jakọbu bí Ọlọ́run alágbára, ṣùgbọ́n nípa orúkọ mi Olúwa, Èmi kò fi ara mi hàn wọ́n.
I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and [told them that I] was God Almighty, but I did not [tell] them that my name [was Yahweh].
4 Èmí sì tún fi ìdí májẹ̀mú mi múlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú wọn láti fún wọn ní ilẹ̀ Kenaani, ilẹ̀ tí wọn gbé gẹ́gẹ́ bí àjèjì.
I also made my solemn agreement with them, promising to give them the Canaan region. That was the area in which they were living as foreigners.
5 Èmi sì ti tún gbọ́ kíkùn àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àwọn tí àwọn ará Ejibiti mú gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹrú, àti pé èmi sì ti rántí májẹ̀mú mi.
Furthermore, I have heard the Israeli people as they were groaning [because of the hard work that] the Egyptians forced them to do as their slaves. I have thought about that solemn promise [that I made].
6 “Sọ fún àwọn ará ilé Israẹli, ‘Èmi ni Olúwa, Èmi yóò sọ yín di òmìnira kúrò nínú àjàgà àwọn ará Ejibiti. Èmi yóò sì gbà yín sílẹ̀ kúrò ní oko ẹrú wọn. Èmi yóò dá a yín sílẹ̀ pẹ̀lú apá nínà (àwọn iṣẹ́ ìyanu) àti pẹ̀lú ìdájọ́ ńlá.
So tell the Israeli people that [I said this: ] ‘I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens [of heavy work] that the Egyptians [have given you]. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power [MTY] and by punishing them [MTY] very severely, I will save you.
7 Èmi yóò mú un yín bí ènìyàn mi, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín. Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé, èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ẹni tí ó mú un yín jáde kúrò nínú àjàgà àwọn ará Ejibiti.
I will cause you to be my own people, and I will be your God, [the one you worship]. You will truly know that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who has freed you from the burdens [of work as slaves] of the Egyptians.
8 Èmi yóò mú un yín wá ilẹ̀ náà ti èmi ti búra pẹ̀lú ìgbọ́wọ́sókè láti fi fún Abrahamu. Isaaki àti Jakọbu. Èmi yóò fi fún un yín bí ohun ìní, Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
And I will bring you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will possess it [forever]. I, Yahweh, am [promising this].’”
9 Mose sì sọ èyí fún àwọn ará Israẹli, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò fi etí sílẹ̀ sí Mose nítorí ọkàn wọn tó rẹ̀wẹ̀sì àti nítorí ìgbèkùn búburú bí ohun tí ó ti kọ́ sọ kó wọn sí ní oko ẹrú wọn.
Moses/I told that to the Israeli people, but they did not believe what he/I said. They were very discouraged [IDM] because of the hard work [that they had been forced to do as slaves].
10 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose.
Yahweh said to Moses/me,
11 “Lọ, sọ fún Farao ọba Ejibiti pé kí ó jẹ́ kí àwọn ará Israẹli lọ kúrò ní orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ̀.”
“Go and tell the king of Egypt [again] that he must allow the Israeli people to leave his land!”
12 Ṣùgbọ́n Mose sọ fún Olúwa pé, “Nígbà ti àwọn ará Israẹli tó jẹ́ ènìyàn mi kó fetí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi, báwo ni Farao yóò ṣe fetí sí ọ̀rọ̀ mi, nígbà ti mo jẹ́ akólòlò?”
But Moses/I said to Yahweh, “Listen [to what I am saying]. [Even] the Israeli people have not paid attention to what I [told them]. But I am a poor speaker. [MET, MTY] So (why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?/the king will certainly not pay attention to what I [tell him]!)” [RHQ]
13 Olúwa bá ìran Mose àti Aaroni sọ̀rọ̀ nípa àwọn ará Israẹli àti Farao ọba Ejibiti, ó pàṣẹ fún wọn pé kí wọn kó àwọn Israẹli jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
