Muuse Iyo Geedka Ololayey

Muuse wuxuu ilaalinayay adhigii soddoggiis Yetroo oo ahaa wadaadkii Midyaan, oo wuxuu adhigii u soo kexeeyey meeshii cidlada ahayd shishadeeda, markaasuu wuxuu yimid buurtii Ilaah oo ahayd Xoreeb. Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay uga muuqatay dab ololaya oo ka baxaya geed dhexdiis, kolkaasuu fiiriyey oo wuxuu arkay geedkii oo ololaya oo dabku gubayo, geedkuna ma basayn. Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waan ku leexan doonaa, waanan arki doonaa muuqashadan weyn, iyo waxa geedku u guban waayay. Oo markuu Rabbigu arkay inuu ku soo leexday inuu arko ayaa Ilaah uga yeedhay geedka dhexdiisii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Muusow, Muusow. Markaasuu yidhi, Waa i kan. Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Halkan ha u soo dhowaan, kabahana iska siib, waayo, meesha aad taagan tahay waa dhul quduus ah. Oo weliba wuxuu kaloo ku yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay Ilaahii aabbahaa oo ah Ilaahii Ibraahim, iyo Ilaahii Isxaaq, iyo Ilaahii Yacquub. Markaasaa Muuse wejigiisii qariyey, waayo, wuxuu ka cabsaday inuu Ilaah eego. Rabbiguna wuxuu ku yidhi, Hubaal waxaan arkay dhibaatada dadkayga ku haysata Masar, oo waan maqlay oohintii ay ooyeen kuwa hawsha ku qaxraya aawadood, waayo, anigu waan ogahay caloolxumadooda; oo waxaan u imid inaan ka samatabbixiyo gacanta Masriyiinta, iyo inaan ka soo bixiyo dhulkaas, oo keeno dhul wanaagsan oo ballaadhan, oo ah dal caano iyo malab la barwaaqaysan; waana meesha ay deggan yihiin reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Yebuus. Oo haatan bal eeg, waxaa i hor timid oohintii reer binu Israa'iil, oo weliba waxaan arkay cadaadinta ay Masriyiintu ku cadaadinayaan iyaga. 10 Haddaba kaalay, oo waxaan kuu dirayaa Fircoon, inaad dalka Masar ka soo kaxaysid dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil ah. 11 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Bal yaan ahay anigu, markaan Fircoon u tegayo, oo aan reer binu Israa'iil ka soo bixinayo dalka Masar? 12 Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Xaqiiqa anigaa kula jiraya, oo taasaa calaamo kuu noqonaysa, inaan anigu ku soo diray; markii aad dadka ka soo bixiso Masar, Ilaah baad buurtan ugu adeegi doontaan.

13 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Ilaah ku yidhi, Bal eeg, markii aan u tago reer binu Israa'iil, oo aan ku idhaahdo iyaga, Ilaahii awowayaashiin baa ii soo kiin diray, oo iyaga waxay igu odhan doonaan, De magiciisa maxaa la yidhaahdaa? Haddaba maxaan ku odhan doonaa? 14 Markaasaa Ilaah wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, ANIGU WAXAAN AHAY KAAN AHAY; oo weliba wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad ku odhan doontaa reer binu Israa'iil, WAAN AHAY baa ii soo kiin diray. 15 Oo Ilaah weliba wuxuu kaloo Muuse ku yidhi, Waxaad ku tidhaahdaa reer binu Israa'iil, Rabbiga ah Ilaahii awowayaashiin, oo ah Ilaahii Ibraahim, iyo Ilaahii Isxaaq, iyo Ilaahii Yacquub ayaa ii soo kiin diray; kanu waa magacayga weligay, oo laygu xusuusto ka ab ka ab. 16 Bal tag, oo isu soo ururi waayeellada reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga ah Ilaahii awowayaashiin, oo ah Ilaahii Ibraahim, iyo Ilaahii Isxaaq, iyo Ilaahii Yacquub ayaa ii muuqday, isagoo leh, Hubaal waan idin soo booqday, oo waan arkay waxa laydinku sameeyey Masar dhexdeeda, 17 oo waxaan idhi, Anigu waan idinka soo wadi doonaa dhibaatada Masar, oo waxaan idin keeni doonaa dalka reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Xiwi, iyo reer Yebuus, oo ah dal caano iyo malab la barwaaqaysan. 18 Oo codkaaga way maqli doonaan, markaas adiga iyo waayeellada reer binu Israa'iil waa inaad u tagtaan boqorka Masar, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha Cibraaniyada ayaa nala kulmay. Haddaba waan ku baryaynaaye, Iska kaaya daa aannu meel saddex maalmood loo socdo oo cidla ah tagnee, inaannu allabari u bixinno Rabbiga ah Ilaahayo. 19 Oo anna waxaan ogahay inaanu boqorka Masar idiin sii daynayn inaad tagtaan, maya, ee wuxuuna idiinku diidayaa gacan xoog leh. 20 Markaasaan gacantayda soo kala bixin doonaa, oo waxaan Masar ku layn doonaa cajaa'ibyadayda oo dhan oo aan ku dhex samayn doono iyada, oo markaas dabadeed wuu idin sii dayn doonaa inaad iska tagtaan. 21 Oo anigu dadkan raalli baan uga yeeli doonaa Masriyiinta; oo waxay noqon doontaa in markii aad tagtaan aydnaan faromadhnaan ku tegin, 22 laakiinse naag waluba ha weyddiisato deriskeeda iyo tan guriga la joogta alaab lacag ah iyo alaab dahab ah, iyo dhar; waxaadna saari doontaan wiilashiinna iyo gabdhihiinna, oo waxaad dhici doontaan Masriyiinta.

Moses and the Burning Bush

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro(A) his father-in-law, the priest of Midian,(B) and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb,(C) the mountain(D) of God. There the angel of the Lord(E) appeared to him in flames of fire(F) from within a bush.(G) Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”

When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called(H) to him from within the bush,(I) “Moses! Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”(J)

“Do not come any closer,”(K) God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”(L) Then he said, “I am the God of your father,[a] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”(M) At this, Moses hid(N) his face, because he was afraid to look at God.(O)

The Lord said, “I have indeed seen(P) the misery(Q) of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned(R) about their suffering.(S) So I have come down(T) to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land,(U) a land flowing with milk and honey(V)—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites(W) and Jebusites.(X) And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing(Y) them. 10 So now, go. I am sending(Z) you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”(AA)

11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I(AB) that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

12 And God said, “I will be with you.(AC) And this will be the sign(AD) to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you[b] will worship God on this mountain.(AE)

13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’(AF) Then what shall I tell them?”

14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.[c] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am(AG) has sent me to you.’”

15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord,[d] the God of your fathers(AH)—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob(AI)—has sent me to you.’

“This is my name(AJ) forever,
    the name you shall call me
    from generation to generation.(AK)

16 “Go, assemble the elders(AL) of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(AM)—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen(AN) what has been done to you in Egypt. 17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt(AO) into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’(AP)

18 “The elders of Israel will listen(AQ) to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews,(AR) has met(AS) with us. Let us take a three-day journey(AT) into the wilderness to offer sacrifices(AU) to the Lord our God.’ 19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand(AV) compels him. 20 So I will stretch out my hand(AW) and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders(AX) that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.(AY)

21 “And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed(AZ) toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.(BA) 22 Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver(BB) and gold(BC) and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder(BD) the Egyptians.”(BE)
