Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice: for they will say, The LORD has not appeared to you.
Ary namaly Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Indro, tsy hino ahy na hihaino ny feoko izy, fa hanao hoe: Tsy niseho taminao Jehovah.
2 And the LORD said to him, What is that in your 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 it 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 the LORD said to Moses, Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught 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 the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.
mba hinoan’ ireo fa efa niseho taminao Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, dia Andriamanitr’ i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr’ Isaka ary Andriamanitr’ i Jakoba.
6 And the LORD said furthermore to him, Put now your hand into your 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 your hand into your bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, 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 you, neither listen 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 also these two signs, neither listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land: and the water which you take out of the river shall become blood on 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 the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since you have spoken to your servant: but 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 the LORD said to him, Who has made man’s mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
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 your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.
Koa ankehitriny, dia mandehana, fa Izaho no homba ny vavanao ka hanoro anao izay holazainao.
13 And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray you, by the hand of him whom you will send.
Fa hoy izy: Tompo ô! mifona aminao aho, iraho izay tianao hirahina.
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you: and when he sees you, 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 you shall speak to him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you 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 your spokesman to the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.
Ary izy hiteny amin’ ny olona hisolo anao; ka dia izy no ho solovavanao, ary ianao kosa ho solon’ Andriamanitra aminy.
17 And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do 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 you, and return to my brothers which 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 the LORD said to Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought your 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 on an ass, 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 the LORD said to Moses, When you go to return into Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall 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 you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
Ary lazao amin’ i Farao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Zanako lahimatoa Isiraely;
23 And I say to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your 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 by the way in the inn, that the LORD 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 sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband are you 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 go: then she said, A bloody husband you are, because of the circumcision.
Dia niala taminy Izy; ary hoy ravehivavy: Vady azo amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà ianao, noho ny fora.
27 And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount 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 the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded 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 children of Israel:
Dia lasa nandeha Mosesy sy Arona ka nanangona ny loholon’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra.
30 And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD 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 the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Dia nino ny olona; ary rehefa reny fa Jehovah efa namangy ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka efa nitsinjo ny fahoriany, dia niondrika izy ka niankohoka.
