Kutoka 6

1 Kisha Bwana akamwambia Mose, “Sasa utaona kitu nitakachomfanyia Farao: Kwa sababu ya mkono wangu wenye nguvu atawaachia watu waende; kwa sababu ya mkono wangu wenye nguvu atawafukuza waondoke nchini mwake.”

Jehovah said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land."

2 Pia Mungu akamwambia Mose, “Mimi ndimi Bwana.

Then God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am Jehovah.

3 Nilimtokea Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo kama Mungu Mwenyezi, ingawa sikuwajulisha Jina langu, Yehova, Mimi mwenyewe sikujitambulisha kwao.

And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El Shaddai, but I did not make myself known to them by my name Jehovah.

4 Pia niliweka Agano langu nao kuwapa nchi ya Kanaani, ambako waliishi kama wageni.

And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, in which they were foreigners.

5 Zaidi ya hayo, nimesikia kilio cha huzuni cha Waisraeli ambao Wamisri wamewatia utumwani, nami nimelikumbuka Agano langu.

Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.

6 “Kwa hiyo, waambie Waisraeli: ‘Mimi ndimi Bwana, nami nitawatoa mtoke katika kongwa la Wamisri. Nitawaweka huru mtoke kuwa watumwa wao, nami nitawakomboa kwa mkono ulionyooshwa pamoja na matendo makuu ya hukumu.

Therefore tell the children of Israel, 'I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:

7 Nitawatwaa mwe watu wangu mwenyewe, nami nitakuwa Mungu wenu. Ndipo mtajua kuwa mimi ndimi Bwana Mungu wenu, niliyewatoa chini ya kongwa la Wamisri.

and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am Jehovah your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 Nami nitawaleta mpaka nchi niliyoapa kwa mkono ulioinuliwa kumpa Abrahamu, Isaki na Yakobo. Nitawapa iwe milki yenu. Mimi ndimi Bwana.’”

I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you as a possession. I am Jehovah.'"

9 Mose akawaarifu Waisraeli jambo hili, lakini hawakumsikiliza kwa sababu ya maumivu makuu ya moyoni na utumwa wa kikatili.

Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

10 Ndipo Bwana akamwambia Mose,

Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

11 “Nenda, mwambie Farao mfalme wa Misri awaachie Waisraeli waondoke nchini mwake.”

"Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."

12 Lakini Mose akamwambia Bwana, “Ikiwa Waisraeli hawatanisikiliza, kwa nini yeye Farao anisikilize mimi, ambaye huzungumza kwa kigugumizi?”

Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying, "Look, the children of Israel haven't listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"

13 Ndipo Bwana akanena na Mose na Aroni kuhusu Waisraeli na Farao mfalme wa Misri, naye akawaamuru wawatoe Waisraeli kutoka Misri.

Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a command to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
