Exodus 4
1 And Moses answereth and saith, 'And, if they do not give credence to me, nor hearken to my voice, and say, Jehovah hath not appeared unto thee?'
Museen, “Yoo isaan, ‘Waaqayyo sitti hin mulʼanne’ jedhanii na amanuu yookaan na dhagaʼuu didan hoo?” jedhee deebise.
2 And Jehovah saith unto him, 'What [is] this in thy hand?' and he saith, 'A rod;'
Kana irratti Waaqayyo, “Wanti harka kee keessa jiru sun maali?” jedheen. Museen immoo, “Ulee dha” jedhee deebise.
3 and He saith, 'Cast it to the earth;' and he casteth it to the earth, and it becometh a serpent — and Moses fleeth from its presence.
Waaqayyos, “Lafa buusi” jedheen. Museen lafa buufnaan uleen sun bofa taʼe; innis irraa baqate.
4 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Put forth thy hand, and lay hold on the tail of it;' and he putteth forth his hand, and layeth hold on it, and it becometh a rod in his hand —
Waaqayyo garuu Museedhaan, “Harka kee hiixadhuutii eegee isaa qabi” jedhe. Museenis hiixatee bofa sana qabe; bofti sunis harka isaa keessatti deebiʼee ulee taʼe.
5 ' — so that they believe that Jehovah, God of their fathers, hath appeared unto thee, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.'
Waaqayyos, “kun akka isaan Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii isaanii, Waaqni Abrahaam, Waaqni Yisihaaq, Waaqni Yaaqoob sitti mulʼate akka amananiif” jedhe.
6 And Jehovah saith to him again, 'Put in, I pray thee, thy hand into thy bosom;' and he putteth in his hand into his bosom, and he bringeth it out, and lo, his hand [is] leprous as snow;
Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Harka kee bobaa kee keessa kaaʼadhu” jedhe. Museenis harka isaa bobaa isaa keessa kaaʼate; yommuu inni baafatettis, kunoo harki isaa lamxii akka cabbii taʼe.
7 and He saith, 'Put back thy hand unto thy bosom;' and he putteth back his hand unto his bosom, and he bringeth it out from his bosom, and lo, it hath turned back as his flesh —
Innis Museedhaan, “Harka kee deebisii bobaa kee keessa kaaʼadhu” jedhe; Museenis deebisee harka isaa bobaa isaa keessa kaaʼate; yommuu inni baafatettis, kunoo harki isaa deebiʼee akkuma dhagna isaa isa kaanii taʼe.
8 ' — and it hath come to pass, if they do not give credence to thee, and hearken not to the voice of the first sign, that they have given credence to the voice of the latter sign.
Waaqayyos akkana jedhe; “Isaan yoo si amanuu baatanii mallattoo isa jalqabaa fudhachuu didan mallattoo lammaffaa ni amanu taʼa.
9 'And it hath come to pass, if they do not give credence even to these two signs, nor hearken to thy voice, that thou hast taken of the waters of the River, and hast poured on the dry land, and the waters which thou takest from the River have been, yea, they have become — blood on the dry land.'
Yoo isaan mallattoo kana lamaan amanuu baatanii si dhagaʼuu didan bishaan laga Abbayyaa budduuqsiitii lafa gogaa irratti dhangalaasi. Bishaan ati lagicha irraa budduuqsite sunis lafa gogaa irratti dhiiga taʼa.”
10 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, 'O, my Lord, I [am] not a man of words, either yesterday, or before, or since Thy speaking unto Thy servant, for I [am] slow of mouth, and slow of tongue.'
Museenis Waaqayyoon, “Yaa Gooftaa, ani duris taʼu yookaan erga ati garbicha keetti dubbachuu jalqabdee as nama arraba qajeelu miti. Ani nama afaan isaa hidhamee arrabni isaas itti ulfaatuu dha” jedhe.
11 And Jehovah saith unto him, 'Who appointed a mouth for man? or who appointeth the dumb, or deaf, or open, or blind? is it not I, Jehovah?
Waaqayyos akkana isaan jedhe; “Kan afaan namaa uume eenyu? Kan akka namni arrab-didaa taʼu yookaan duudu godhu eenyu? Kan agartuu ijaa namaaf kennu yookaan jaamsu eenyu? Anuma Waaqayyoo mitii?
12 and now, go, and I — I am with thy mouth, and have directed thee that which thou speakest;'
Amma dhaqi; ani afaan kee wajjin nan taʼa; waan ati jettus sin barsiisa.”
13 and he saith, 'O, my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand Thou dost send.'
Museen garuu, “Yaa Gooftaa, maaloo nama biraa ergi” jedhe.
14 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Moses, and He saith, 'Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I have known that he speaketh well, and also, lo, he is coming out to meet thee; when he hath seen thee, then he hath rejoiced in his heart,
Dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos Musee irratti bobaʼe; innis akkana jedhe; “Obboleessi kee Aroon Lewwichi jira mitii? Ani akka inni akka gaariitti dubbatu nan beeka. Kunoo, inni gara kee dhufuutti jira. Inni yommuu si argutti ni gammada.
15 and thou hast spoken unto him, and hast set the words in his mouth, and I — I am with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and have directed you that which ye do;
Ati isatti dubbatee afaan isaa keessa dubbii ni keessa; anis afaan keetii fi afaan isaa wajjin nan taʼa; waan isin hojjettanis isin nan barsiisa.
16 and he, he hath spoken for thee unto the people, and it hath come to pass, he — he is to thee for a mouth, and thou — thou art to him for God;
Inni uummatatti siif dubbata; inni afaan siif taʼa; ati immoo isaaf akka Waaqaa ni taata.
17 and this rod thou dost take in thy hand, with which thou doest the signs.'
Ati ulee ittiin mallattoo argisiiftu kana harkatti qabadhu.”
18 And Moses goeth and turneth back unto Jethro his father-in-law, and saith to him, 'Let me go, I pray thee, and I turn back unto my brethren who [are] in Egypt, and I see whether they are yet alive.' And Jethro saith to Moses, 'Go in peace.'
Museen gara abbaa niitii isaa gara Yetrootti deebiʼee, “Akka ani gara saba koo warra Gibxi jiraatanitti deebiʼee hamma ammaatti lubbuun jiraachuu isaanii arguuf maaloo naa eeyyami” jedheen. Yootooris, “Nagaan dhaqi” jedheen.
19 And Jehovah saith unto Moses in Midian, 'Go, turn back to Egypt, for all the men have died who seek thy life;'
Waaqayyo Midiyaanitti Museedhaan, “Namoonni si ajjeesuu barbaadan hundi duʼaniiruutii Gibxitti deebiʼi” jedhee ture.
20 and Moses taketh his wife, and his sons, and causeth them to ride on the ass, and turneth back to the land of Egypt, and Moses taketh the rod of God in his hand.
Kanaafuu Museen niitii isaatii fi ilmaan isaa fuudhatee harree irra kaaʼee Gibxitti deebiʼe. Innis ulee Waaqaa harkatti qabatee ture.
21 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'In thy going to turn back to Egypt, see — all the wonders which I have put in thy hand — that thou hast done them before Pharaoh, and I — I strengthen his heart, and he doth not send the people away;
Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati yeroo Gibxitti deebitutti dinqiiwwan ani akka ati hojjetuuf humna siif kenne sana hunda fuula Faraʼoon duratti hojjedhu. Ani garuu akka inni saba sana gad hin lakkifne mata jabeessa isa nan godha.
22 and thou hast said unto Pharaoh, Thus said Jehovah, My son, My first-born [is] Israel,
Ati Faraʼooniin akkana jedhi; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Israaʼel ilma koo hangafa;
23 and I say unto thee, Send away My son, and he doth serve Me; and — thou dost refuse to send him away — lo, I am slaying thy son, thy first-born.'
anis, “Akka ilmi koo na tajaajiluuf gad lakkisi” jedhee sitti himeera. Ati garuu isa gad lakkisuu didde; kanaafuu, kunoo ani ilma kee hangafa nan ajjeesa.’”
24 And it cometh to pass in the way, in a lodging place, that Jehovah meeteth him, and seeketh to put him to death;
Waaqayyo karaa irratti iddoo bultiitti Museetti dhufee isa ajjeesuu barbaade.
25 and Zipporah taketh a flint, and cutteth off the foreskin of her son, and causeth [it] to touch his feet, and saith, 'Surely a bridegroom of blood [art] thou to me;'
Ziphooraa garuu dhagaa qara qabu fudhattee qola dhagna ilma ishee kuttee ittiin miilla Musee tuqxe. Isheenis, “Ati dhugumaan anaaf misirricha dhiigaati” jette.
26 and He desisteth from him: then she said, 'A bridegroom of blood,' in reference to the circumcision.
Waaqayyos isa dhiise. Yeroo sana isheen waaʼee dhagna qabaatiif, “Misirricha dhiigaa ti” jette.
27 And Jehovah saith unto Aaron, 'Go to meet Moses into the wilderness;' and he goeth, and meeteth him in the mount of God, and kisseth him,
Waaqayyos Arooniin, “Ati Musee simachuuf gara gammoojjii dhaqi!” jedhe. Innis dhaqee Tulluu Waaqaa irratti Musee argatee isa dhungate.
28 and Moses declareth to Aaron all the words of Jehovah with which He hath sent him, and all the signs with which He hath charged him.
Yeroo sana Museen dubbii Waaqayyo akka inni dubbatuuf isa erge hundaa fi mallattoowwan akka inni hojjetuuf isa ajaje hunda Aroonitti hime.
29 And Moses goeth — Aaron also — and they gather all the elders of the sons of Israel,
Musee fi Aroon maanguddoota Israaʼel hunda walitti qaban;
30 and Aaron speaketh all the words which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and doth the signs before the eyes of the people;
Aroonis waan Waaqayyo Museetti hime hunda jaratti hime. Mallattoowwanis fuula namootaa duratti hojjete;
31 and the people believe when they hear that Jehovah hath looked after the sons of Israel, and that He hath seen their affliction; and they bow and do obeisance.
isaanis ni amanan. Jarris yommuu akka Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel ilaalee fi akka inni rakkina isaaniis arge dhagaʼanitti gad jedhanii sagadan.
