Exodus 3

1 Sie len ke Moses el karingin sheep ac nani natul Jethro, su papa tumun mutan kial ac el mwet tol lun Midian, el pwanla kosro inge alukela yen mwesis ac sun eol mutal Sinai.

Now Moses was still shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. Moses led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and arrived at Horeb, the mountain of God.

2 Lipufan se lun LEUM GOD sikyang nu sel we in luman sie e ma tuku liki infulwen sak srisrik soko. Moses el lut ke el liye lah sak soko ah firir a tiana firirla.

There the angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush. Moses looked, and behold, the bush was burning, but the bush was not burned up.

3 El nunku sel, “Mea na usrnguk se inge? Efu sak soko inge ku tia firirla? Nga ac kuhfla nu kac ngan liye.”

Moses said, “I will turn aside and see this amazing thing, why the bush is not burned up.”

4 Ke LEUM GOD El liye lah Moses el kalukyang, El pang nu sel liki infulwen sak soko ah, “Moses! Moses!” El topuk, “Nga pa inge.”

When Yahweh saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him out of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses.” Moses said, “Here I am.”

5 Na God El fahk, “Tu na insacn. Sarukla fahluk lom an, mweyen kom tu fin fohk mutal.

God said, “Do not come any closer! Take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are standing is ground that is set apart to me.”

6 Nga pa God lun papa matu tomom — God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob.” Ouinge Moses el afinya mutal, mweyen el arulana sangeng in ngetang nu sin God.

He added, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses covered his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

7 Na LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nga liye lupan keok lun mwet luk fin acn Egypt. Nga lohng pusren tung lalos ke elos wowoyak tuh in moliyukla elos liki inpoun mwet su akkohsyelos. Nga kalem ke lupan keok lalos.

Yahweh said, “I have certainly seen the suffering of my people who are in Egypt. I have heard their shouts because of their taskmasters, for I know about their suffering.

8 Na pa nga oatume in molelosla liki mwet Egypt ac usalosme liki acn we nu ke sie facl lulap, sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we, su mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus muta we inge.

I have come down to free them from the Egyptians' power and to bring them up from that land to a good, large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the region of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

9 Pwayena nga lohng pusren tung lun mwet luk, ac nga liye lupan sulallal lun mwet Egypt nu selos.

Now the shouts of the people of Israel have come to me. Moreover, I have seen the oppression caused by the Egyptians.

10 Inge nga ac supwekomla nu yurin tokosra lun Egypt tuh kom in ku in kolla mwet luk liki facl sel.”

Now then, I will send you to Pharaoh so that you may bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”

11 Tuh Moses el fahk nu sin God, “Ku su nga uh, tuh nga in som nu yorol tokosra ac usla mwet Israel liki acn Egypt?”

But Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites from Egypt?”

12 God El topuk, “Nga ac fah wi kom, ac pacl se kom use mwet uh liki acn Egypt kowos ac fah alu nu sik fin eol soko inge. Pa inge mwe akpwayei lah nga pa supwekomla.”

God replied, “I will certainly be with you. This will be a sign to you that I have sent you. When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship me on this mountain.”

13 Na Moses el fahk nu sin God, “Ke nga ac som nu yurin mwet Israel ac fahk nu selos, ‘God lun papa tomowos uh pa supweyume nu yuruwos,’ elos ac fah siyuk sik, ‘Su inel an?’ Na mea nga ac fahk nu selos?”

Moses said to God, “When I go to the Israelites and tell them, 'The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,' and when they say to me, 'What is his name?' what should I say to them?”

14 God El fahk, “Nga Nuna Nga Ah Na. Kom fah fahk nu selos, ‘El su pangpang NGA, pa supweyume nu yuruwos.’

God said to Moses, “I AM THAT I AM.” God said, “You must say to the Israelites, 'I AM has sent me to you.'”

15 Fahk nu sin mwet Israel lah nga, LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos somla — God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob — pa supwekom nu yorolos. Pa inge Inek nwe tok, ac fwil nukewa fahsru uh ac fah pangonyu ouinge.

God also said to Moses, “You must say to the Israelites, 'Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is my name forever, and this is how I will be kept in mind for all generations.'

16 Som ac orani mwet kol lun Israel nu sie, ac fahk nu selos lah nga, LEUM GOD lun papa matu tumalos — God lal Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob — pa sikwot nu sum. Fahk nu selos lah nga tuku nu yorolos tari ac nga liye ma mwet Egypt oru nu selos.

Go and gather the elders of Israel together. Say to them, 'Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me and said, “I have indeed observed you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.

17 Nga sulela tari lah nga ac usalosla liki facl Egypt, yen akkeokyeyuk elos we, ac nga fah usalos nu in sie facl mut ac kasrup fohk we — facl sin mwet Canaan, mwet Hit, mwet Amor, mwet Periz, mwet Hiv, ac mwet Jebus.

I have promised to bring you up from the oppression in Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.”'

18 “Mwet luk elos ac fah porongo ma kom fahk nu selos. Na kom, ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel, fah som nu yurin tokosra lun Egypt ac fahk nu sel, ‘LEUM GOD lun mwet Hebrew El sikme nu sesr. Inge lela nu sesr kut in fahsr ke len tolu nu yen mwesis in oru mwe kisa lasr nu sin LEUM GOD lasr.’

They will listen to you. You and the elders of Israel must go to the king of Egypt, and you must tell him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, in order that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.'

19 Nga arulana etu lah tokosra lun Egypt fah tia lela kowos in som nwe ke na po ku lun God akkeokyal.

But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, unless his hand is forced.

20 Tusruktu nga ac orekmakin ku luk in kai Egypt ke mwe aksangeng lulap. Tukun ma inge el ac fah filikowosla.

I will reach out with my hand and attack the Egyptians with all the miracles that I will do among them. After that, he will let you go.

21 “Nga fah oru mwet Egypt in akfulatye kowos, tuh pacl mwet luk uh ac som elos fah tia pisinpo.

I will grant this people favor from the Egyptians, so when you leave, you will not go empty-handed.

22 Mutan Israel nukewa fah som nu yurin mwet tulan Egypt lalos, oayapa yurin mutan Egypt su muta in lohm selos, ac siyuk nuknuk ac mwe yun gold ac silver selos. Na mwet Israel fah filiya ma inge fin wen ac acn natulos. Ouinge elos ac fah usla mwe kasrup lun mwet Egypt.”

Every woman will ask for silver and gold jewels and for clothing from her Egyptian neighbors and any women staying in her neighbors' houses. You will put them on your sons and daughters. In this way you will plunder the Egyptians.”
