Exodus 4

1 Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to you.’”

At si Moises ay sumagot at nagsabi, Datapuwa't, narito, hindi nila paniniwalaan ako, ni didinggin ang aking tinig sapagka't kanilang sasabihin, Ang Panginoon ay hindi napakita sa iyo.

2 The LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”

At sinabi sa kaniya ng Panginoon, Ano iyang nasa iyong kamay? At kaniyang sinabi, Isang tungkod.

3 He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.

At kaniyang sinabi, Ihagis mo sa lupa. At kaniyang inihagis sa lupa, at naging isang ahas; at si Moises ay tumakas sa harap ng ahas.

4 The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.

At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Iunat mo ang iyong kamay, at sunggaban mo sa buntot: (at kaniyang iniunat ang kaniyang kamay, at kaniyang hinawakan, at naging isang tungkod sa kaniyang kamay).

5 “This is so that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”

Upang sila'y maniwala, na ang Dios ng iyong mga magulang, ang Dios ni Abraham, ang Dios ni Isaac, at ang Dios ni Jacob ay napakita sa iyo.

6 The LORD said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.

At sinabi pa sa kaniya ng Panginoon, Ipasok mo ang iyong kamay, sa iyong sinapupunan. At kaniyang ipinasok ang kamay niya sa kaniyang sinapupunan: at nang kaniyang ilabas, ay narito, ang kaniyang kamay ay may ketong, na maputing parang niebe.

7 He said, “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.

At kaniyang sinabi, Ipasok mo uli ang iyong kamay sa iyong sinapupunan. (At kaniyang ipinasok uli ang kamay niya sa kaniyang sinapupunan, at nang kaniyang ilabas sa kaniyang sinapupunan, ay narito, nagsauling gaya ng kaniyang dating laman).

8 “It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

At mangyayari, na kung sila'y hindi maniniwala sa iyo, ni makikinig sa tinig ng unang tanda, ay kanilang paniniwalaan ang tinig ng huling tanda.

9 It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.”

At mangyayari na kung sila'y hindi maniniwala sa dalawang tandang ito, ni hindi makikinig sa iyong tinig, ay kukuha ka ng tubig sa ilog, at iyong ibubuhos sa tuyong lupa, at ang tubig na iyong kukunin sa ilog ay magiging dugo sa tuyong lupa.

10 Moses said to the LORD, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”

At sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon, Oh Panginoon, ako'y hindi marikit mangusap, kahit ng panahong nakaraan, kahit mula ng magsalita ka sa iyong lingkod: sapagka't ako'y kimi sa pangungusap at umid sa dila.

11 The LORD said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is not it I, the LORD?

At sinabi sa kaniya ng Panginoon, Sinong gumawa ng bibig ng tao? o sinong gumawa ng pipi, o bingi, o may paningin, o bulag sa tao? Hindi ba akong Panginoon?

12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”

Ngayon nga'y yumaon ka, at ako'y sasaiyong bibig, at ituturo ko sa iyo kung ano ang iyong sasalitain.

13 Moses said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”

At kaniyang sinabi, Oh Panginoon, magsugo ka, isinasamo ko sa iyo, sa pamamagitan ng kamay niyaong iyong susuguin.

14 The LORD’s anger burned against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

At ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagningas laban kay Moises, at kaniyang sinabi, Wala ba si Aarong kapatid mo na Levita? Nalalaman kong siya'y makapagsasalitang mabuti. At saka, narito, siya'y lumalabas upang salubungin ka; at pagkakita niya sa iyo, ay matutuwa sa kaniyang puso.

15 You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.

At ikaw ay magsasalita sa kaniya, at iyong isasabibig niya ang mga salita; at ako'y sasaiyong bibig at sasakaniyang bibig, at aking ituturo sa inyo, kung ano ang inyong gagawin.

16 He will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.

At siya ang makikipagusap sa lagay mo sa bayan: at mangyayari na siya'y magiging sa iyo'y bibig, at ikaw ay magiging sa kaniya'y parang Dios.

17 You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”

At tatangnan mo sa iyong kamay ang tungkod na ito, na iyong ipaggagawa ng mga tanda.

18 Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”

At si Moises ay yumaon, at bumalik kay Jethro na kaniyang biyanan, at nagsabi sa kaniya, Pahintulutan mo akong yumaon, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at bumalik sa aking mga kapatid na nasa Egipto, at titingnan ko, kung sila'y nabubuhay pa. At sinabi ni Jethro kay Moises, Yumaon kang payapa.

19 The LORD said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”

At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises sa Madian, Yumaon ka, bumalik ka sa Egipto: sapagka't namatay na ang lahat ng tao, na nagmimithi ng iyong buhay.

20 Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod in his hand.

At ipinagsama ni Moises ang kaniyang asawa at ang kaniyang mga anak, at kaniyang ipinagsasakay sa isang asno, at siya'y bumalik sa lupain ng Egipto: at tinangnan ni Moises ang tungkod ng Dios sa kaniyang kamay.

21 The LORD said to Moses, “When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.

At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Pagkabalik mo sa Egipto, iyong gawin nga sa harap ni Faraon ang lahat ng kababalaghan na aking itiniwala sa iyong kamay: datapuwa't aking papagmamatigasin ang kaniyang puso, at hindi niya tutulutang yumaon ang bayan.

22 You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘The LORD says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

At iyong sasabihin kay Faraon, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Ang Israel ay aking anak, aking panganay:

23 and I have said to you, “Let my son go, that he may serve me;” and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”

At aking sinabi sa iyo, Pahintulutan mong ang aking anak ay yumaon, upang siya'y makapaglingkod sa akin; at ayaw mo siyang payaunin, narito, aking papatayin ang iyong anak, ang iyong panganay.

24 On the way at a lodging place, the LORD met Moses and wanted to kill him.

At nangyari sa daan, sa dakong panuluyanan, na sinalubong ng Panginoon siya, at pinagsikapang patayin siya.

25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”

Nang magkagayo'y sumunggab si Sephora ng isang batong matalim, at pinutol ang balat ng masama ng kaniyang anak, at inihagis sa kaniyang paanan; at kaniyang sinabi, Tunay na ikaw sa akin ay isang asawang mabagsik.

26 So he let him alone. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.

Sa gayo'y kaniyang binitiwan siya. Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang sinabi, Isang asawa kang mabagsik, dahil sa pagtutuli.

27 The LORD said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” He went, and met him on God’s mountain, and kissed him.

At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Aaron, Pumaroon ka sa ilang na salubungin mo si Moises. At siya'y pumaroon, at nasalubong niya sa bundok ng Dios, at kaniyang hinagkan.

28 Moses told Aaron all the LORD’s words with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.

At isinaysay ni Moises kay Aaron ang lahat ng salita ng Panginoon, na ipinagbilin sa kaniyang sabihin, at ang lahat ng tandang ipinagbilin sa kaniyang gawin.

29 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.

At si Moises at si Aaron ay naparoon at tinipon ang lahat ng matanda sa mga anak ni Israel:

30 Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

At sinalita ni Aaron ang lahat ng salita na sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises, at ginawa ang mga tanda sa paningin ng bayan.

31 The people believed, and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

At ang bayan ay naniwala: at nang kanilang marinig na dinalaw ng Panginoon ang mga anak ni Israel, at kaniyang nakita ang kanilang kapighatian, ay iniyukod nga nila ang kanilang mga ulo at sumamba.
