< Exodus 6 >

1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Now, shalt thou see, what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand, shall he let them go, and with a strong hand, shall he drive them out from his land.
Awo Mukama n’addamu Musa nti, “Kaakano ojja kulaba kye nnaakola Falaawo. Kubanga alibaleka ne bagenda olw’amaanyi, era olw’amaanyi alibagoba mu nsi ye.”
2 And God spake unto Moses, —and said unto him, I, am Yahweh:
Katonda n’agamba Musa nti, “Nze Mukama.
3 I appeared, therefore, unto Abraham unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as GOD Almighty, —although, by my name Yahweh was I not made known to them;
Nalabikira Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo nga Katonda Ayinzabyonna; kyokka saabategeeza linnya lyange nti Nze Mukama.
4 Moreover also I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, —even the land of their sojournings wherein they sojourned.
Era nabasuubiza mu ndagaano yange okubawa ensi ya Kanani, gye baabeerangamu ng’abagwira abatambuze.
5 Moreover also, I heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians, were holding in servitude, So then I remembered my covenant.
Kaakano mpulidde okusinda kw’abaana ba Isirayiri abatuntuzibwa Abamisiri mu buddu, ne nzijukira endagaano yange.
6 Therefore say thou to the sons of Israel-I, am Yahweh, Therefore will I bring you forth from under the burdens of Egypt, And will deliver you out of their service, And will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments;
“Noolwekyo tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Nze Mukama. Ndibatikkulako emigugu gy’Abamisiri, era ndibawonya obuddu, ne mbanunula n’omukono gwange ogw’amaanyi nga nsalira Abamisiri omusango.
7 And will take you to myself for a people, And will become your God, —And ye shall know that, I Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth from under the burdens of Egypt:
Ndibafuula abantu bange, era nnaabeeranga Katonda wammwe, era mulitegeera nga nze Mukama Katonda wammwe abawonyezza ebizibu by’Abamisiri.
8 And I will bring you into the land as to which I uplifted my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, —and will give it to you as an inheritance: I, am Yahweh.
Ndibaleeta mu nsi gye nalayira okuwa Ibulayimu ne Isaaka ne Yakobo; ndigibawa n’efuuka yammwe. Nze Mukama.’”
9 And Moses spake thus unto the sons of Israel, but they hearkened not unto Moses, through shortness of spirit, and through hard service.
Musa n’ategeeza abaana ba Isirayiri ebigambo ebyo. Naye tebaamuwuliriza, kubanga emitima gyali gibennyise, nga n’okutuntuzibwa kubayitiridde.
10 And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
Awo Mukama n’agamba Musa nti,
11 Go in speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
“Genda otegeeze Falaawo kabaka w’e Misiri aleke abaana ba Isirayiri bave mu nsi ye.”
12 And Moses spake before Yahweh, saying, —Lo! the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, how then shall Pharaoh, hear, I, also being of uncircumcised lips.
Naye Musa n’addamu Mukama nti, “Laba, abaana ba Isirayiri bagaanyi okumpuliriza, kale Falaawo anampuliriza atya nze atayogera bulungi?”
13 Thus then did Yahweh speak unto Moses and unto Aaron, yea he gave them a charge unto the sons of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, for the bringing forth of the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
Naye Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa ne Alooni, n’abalagira bategeeze abaana ba Isirayiri ne Falaawo nti, Mukama abalagidde okuggya abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi y’e Misiri.
14 These, are the heads of their ancestral house: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel, Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi. These are the families of, Reuben.
Gano ge mannya aga bajjajjaabwe ab’omu bika byabwe: Batabani ba Lewubeeni, mutabani wa Isirayiri omubereberye, be bano: Kanoki ne Palu, Kezulooni ne Kalumi.
15 And, the sons of Simeon, Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitess. These, are the families of, Simeon.
Batabani ba Simyoni: Yamweri ne Yamini, ne Okadi, Yakini ne Zokali, Sawuli (omwana w’omukyala Omukanani). Abo be b’omu mu bika bya Simyoni.
16 And, these, are the names of the sons of Levi by their generations, Gershon, and Kohath and Merari, And, the years of the life of Levi, were a hundred and thirty-seven years.
Gano ge mannya ga batabani ba Leevi ng’emirembe bwe giri: Gerusoni ne Kokasi ne Merali. Leevi yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu asatu mu musanvu.
17 The sons of Gershon, Libni and Shimei by their families.
Batabani ba Gerusoni be bano mu bika byabwe: Libuni ne Simeeyi.
18 And the sons of Kohath, Amram and Izhar, and Hebron and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath, were a hundred and thirty-three years.
Bano be batabani ba Kokasi: Amulaani ne Izukali, Kebbulooni ne Wuziyeeri. Kokasi yawangaala emyaka kikumi mu asatu mu esatu.
19 And the sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi. These, are the families of the Levites by their generations.
Bano be batabani ba Merali: Makuli ne Musi. Abo be b’omu bika bya Leevi ng’emirembe gyabwe bwe gyali.
20 So then, Amram took Jochebed, his father’s sister to himself to wife, and she bare to him—Aaron and Moses. And, the years of the life of Amram, were a hundred and thirty-seven.
Amulaamu n’awasa senga we Yokebedi; n’amuzaalira: Alooni ne Musa. Amulaamu n’awangaala emyaka kikumi mu asatu mu musanvu.
21 And the sons of Izhar, Korah and Nepheg, and Zichri.
Bano be baana ba Izukali: Koola ne Nefega ne Zikiri.
22 And the sons of Uzziel, Mishael and Elzaphan, and Sithri.
Abaana ba Wuziyeeri be bano: Misayeri ne Erizafani ne Sisiri.
23 And Aaron took Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, to himself to wife, —and she bare to him—Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Alooni n’awasa Eriseba, muwala wa Aminadaabu era nga ye mwannyina wa Nakayisoni. Yamuzaalira abaana bano: Nadabu ne Abiku, Eriyazaali ne Isamaali.
24 And the sons of Korah, Assir and Elkanah, and Abiasaph. These are the families of the Korahites.
Bano be baana ba Koola: Asira ne Erukaana, ne Abiyasaafu. Abo be b’omu kika kya Abakoola.
25 And Eleazar, son of Aaron took to himself [one] of the daughters of Putiel, to himself to wife, and she bare to him Phinehas. These, are the heads of the fathers of the Levites by their families.
Eriyazaali, mutabani wa Alooni, yawasa omu ku bawala ba Putiyeeri, n’amuzaalira Finekaasi. Ago ge mannya g’abakulu b’ebika by’Abaleevi, n’ennyumba zaabwe mu bika ebyo.
26 The same, Aaron and Moses, —to whom said Yahweh, Bring ye forth the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, according to their hosts:
Abo ye Alooni ne Musa Mukama be yalagira nti, “Muggyeeyo abaana ba Isirayiri bonna mu nsi y’e Misiri.”
27 They who were to speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring forth the sons of Israel out of Egypt: The same, Moses and Aaron.
Be bo abaayogera ne Falaawo, kabaka w’e Misiri, ku by’okuggyayo abaana ba Isirayiri mu Misiri. Ye Musa oyo, ne Alooni oyo.
28 Thus came it to pass, that on a certain day, Yahweh spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt.
Ku lunaku olwo Mukama kwe yayogerera ne Musa mu nsi y’e Misiri,
29 So then Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying—I, am Yahweh: Speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, all that, I, am speaking unto thee.
Mukama yagamba Musa nti, “Nze Mukama. Tegeeza Falaawo, kabaka w’e Misiri, buli kimu kyonna kye nkugamba.”
30 And Moses said before Yahweh, —Lo! I, am of uncircumcised lips, how then will Pharaoh hearken unto me?
Naye Musa n’addamu Mukama nti, “Nze atamanyi kwogera bulungi, Falaawo anampuliriza atya?”
