Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken to my voice, for they will say, Jehovah has not appeared to thee.
Ary namaly Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Indro, tsy hino ahy na hihaino ny feoko izy, fa hanao hoe: Tsy niseho taminao Jehovah.
2 And Jehovah said to him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A rod.
Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Inona moa iny an-tananao? Dia novaliany hoe: Tehina ity.
3 And he said, Cast in on the ground. And he cast it on the ground. And it became a serpent, and Moses fled from before it.
Ary hoy Izy: Atsipazo amin’ ny tany iny. Dia natsipiny tamin’ ny tany ka tonga menarana, dia nandositra azy Mosesy.
4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by the tail (and he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand),
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Ahinjiro ny tananao, ka raiso amin’ ny rambony iny, dia naninjitra ny tànany izy ka nandray azy; dia tonga tehina teo an-tànany indray izy
5 that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to thee.
mba hinoan’ ireo fa efa niseho taminao Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr’ Isaka ary Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
6 And Jehovah said furthermore to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom. And when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as snow.
Ary hoy koa Jehovah taminy: Atsofohy ao an-tratranao ny tananao. Dia natsofony tao an-tratrany ny tànany; ary nony notsoahany, dia, indro, efa boka ny tànany ka fotsy tahaka ny oram-panala.
7 And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. (And he put his hand into his bosom again, and when he took it out of his bosom, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.)
Ary hoy koa Izy: Atsofohy ao an-tratranao indray ny tananao (dia natsofony tao an-tratrany indray ny tànany; ary nony notsoahany tamin’ ny tratrany, dia, indro, efa tonga tahaka ny hodiny indray izy).
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
Ary raha tsy hino anao izy ka tsy hihaino ny feon’ ny famantarana voalohany, dia hino ny feon’ ny famantarana aoriana izy.
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe even these two signs, nor hearken to thy voice, that thou shall take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land. And the water which thou take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
Ary raha tsy hino izany famantarana roa izany aza izy, na hihaino ny feonao, dia haka rano avy ao Neily ianao, ka haidinao amin’ ny tany maina; ary izay rano alainao avy ao Neily dia ho tonga rà eo amin’ ny tany maina.
10 And Moses said to Jehovah, Oh, Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou have spoken to thy servant, for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah: Tompo ô, mifona aminao aho, olona tsy mahay mandaha-teny aho, na hatrany aloha, na hatramin’ izao itenenanao amin’ ny mpanomponao izao aza; fa votsa vava sy miadam-piteny aho.
11 And Jehovah said to him, Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes a man dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, Jehovah?
Ary hoy Jehovah taminy; Iza moa no nanao ny vavan’ ny olona? ary iza no mampahamoana, na mampaharenina, na mampahiratra, na mampahajamba? tsy Izaho Jehovah va
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shall speak.
Koa ankehitriny, dia mandehana, fa Izaho no homba ny vavanao ka hanoro anao izay holazainao.
13 And he said, Oh, Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou will send.
Fa hoy izy: Tompo ô! mifona aminao aho, iraho izay tianao hirahina.
14 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is there not Aaron thy brother the Levite? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet thee, and when he sees thee, he will be glad in his heart.
Dia nirehitra tamin’ i Mosesy ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka hoy Izy: Tsy ao ihany va Arona Levita rahalahinao? fantatro fa mahay mandaha-teny izy. Ary indro koa, avy hitsena anao izy; koa rehefa mahita anao izy, dia ho faly ny fony.
15 And thou shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do,
Dia hiteny aminy ianao ka hanolo-teny azy; ary Izaho homba ny vavanao sy ny vavany ka hanoro anareo izay hataonareo.
16 and he shall be thy spokesman to the people. And it shall come to pass, that he shall be to thee a mouth, and thou shall be to him as God.
Ary izy hiteny amin’ ny olona hisolo anao; ka dia izy no ho solovavanao, ary ianao kosa ho solon’ Andriamanitra aminy.
17 And thou shall take this rod in thy hand, with which thou shall do the signs.
Dia ho entinao eny an-tananao io tehina io, izay hanaovanao ireo famantarana ireo.
18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Dia lasa nandeha Mosesy ka niverina ho any amin’ i Jetro rafozany ka nanao taminy hoe: Masìna ianao, aoka aho handeha hiverina ho any amin’ ny rahalahiko, izay any Egypta, ka hizaha na mbola velona ihany izy, na tsia. Ary hoy Jetro tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandehana soa aman-tsara.
19 And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt, for all the men are dead who sought thy life.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy tany Midiana: Mandehana miverina any Egypta, fa maty ny olona rehetra izay nitady ny ainao.
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
Dia nalain’ i Mosesy ny vadiny sy ny zananilahy ka nampitaingeniny boriky, dia niverina ho any amin’ ny tany Egypta izy; ary nentin’ i Mosesy teny an-tànany ilay tehin’ Andriamanitra.
21 And Jehovah said to Moses, When thou go back into Egypt, see that thou do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Raha mandeha miverina ho any Egypta ianao, indreo ireo fahagagana rehetra ireo, izay nataoko eo an-tananao, dia ataovy eo anatrehan’ i Farao; ary Izaho hanamafy ny fony, ka tsy handefa ny olona izy.
22 And thou shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says Jehovah, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
Ary lazao amin’ i Farao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Zanako lahimatoa Isiraely;
23 and I have said to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou have refused to let him go. Behold, I will slay thy son, thy firstborn.
koa efa nolazaiko taminao hoe: Alefaso ny zanako mba hanompo Ahy; fa efa nandà tsy handefa azy ianao, koa, indro, Izaho hamono ny zanakao lahimatoa.
24 And it came to pass on the way at the lodging-place, that Jehovah met him, and sought to kill him.
Ary nony tany an-dalana tao amin’ ny fandriam-bahiny izy, dia nitsena azy Jehovah ka nitady hamono azy.
25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet. And she said, Surely a bridegroom of blood thou are to me.
Dia naka fiharatra vato Zipora ka namora ny zanany, ary izay nesoriny dia natsipiny teo anilan’ ny tongony, ka hoy izy: Efa vady azoko amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà ianao.
26 So he let him alone. Then she said, A bridegroom of blood thou are, because of the circumcision.
Dia niala taminy Izy; ary hoy ravehivavy: Vady azo amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà ianao, noho ny fora.
27 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Arona: Mandehana hitsena an’ i Mosesy any an-efitra. Dia lasa nandeha izy ka nifanena taminy tao amin’ ny tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra, dia nanoroka azy.
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had ordered him.
Ary nambaran’ i Mosesy tamin’ i Arona izay teny rehetra efa nanirahan’ i Jehovah azy sy izay famantarana rehetra efa nandidiany azy.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.
Dia lasa nandeha Mosesy sy Arona ka nanangona ny loholon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.
30 And Aaron spoke all the words which Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
Dia nolazain’ i Arona ny teny rehetra izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy, sady nataony teo imason’ ny olona ny famantarana.
31 And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the sons of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.
Dia nino ny olona; ary rehefa reny fa Jehovah efa namangy ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka efa nitsinjo ny fahoriany, dia niondrika izy ka niankohoka.
