Cajaa'ibyadii La Tusay Muuse

Markaasaa Muuse jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Laakiinse, bal ogow, ima ay rumaysan doonaan, codkaygana ma ay dhegaysan doonaan, waayo, waxay igu odhan doonaan, Rabbigu kuuma uu muuqanin. Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa maxay waxaas gacantaada ku jiraa? Oo wuxuu yidhi, Waa ul. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Bal dhulka ku tuur. Markaasuu dhulka ku tuuray, oo waxay noqotay abeeso. Kolkaasaa Muuse ka hor cararay. Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Bal gacanta soo fidi oo dabada ku dheg, kolkaasuu gacantii soo fidiyey oo dabada ku dhegay, kolkaasay noqotay ul gacantiisa ku jirta. Sidaas yeel inay ku rumaystaan inuu kuu muuqday Rabbiga ah Ilaahii awowayaashood, oo ah Ilaahii Ibraahim, iyo Ilaahii Isxaaq, iyo Ilaahii Yacquub. Oo Rabbigu wuxuu kaloo ku sii yidhi isagii, Bal gacanta laabta saar, markaasuu gacanta laabta saaray, oo markii uu ka qaaday, bal eeg, gacantii baras bay yeelatay oo waxay u caddaatay sida baraf cad. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Bal gacanta laabta mar kale saar. Kolkaasuu mar kale gacantii laabta saaray, oo markii uu ka qaaday laabtii, bal eeg, waxay haddana u rogmatay oo u ekaatay sida jidhkiisii kale. Oo waxay noqon doontaa, hadday kugu rumaysan waayaan oo ay calaamada hore codkeeda maqli waayaan, de markaas calaamada dambe codkeeday rumaysan doonaan. Oo haddana waxay noqon doontaa, hadday rumaysan waayaan labadan calaamo, oo weliba ay codkaaga maqli waayaan, de markaas bal waa inaad webiga biyo ka qaaddid oo aad dhulka engegan ku shubtid, oo biyihii aad webiga ka qaadday, markay gaadhaan dhulka engegan dhiig bay noqon doonaan. 10 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu Rabbiga ku yidhi, Rabbiyow, anigu codkar ma ahi, hadda iyo hore toona, iyo tan iyo markaad ila hadashay anigoo addoonkaaga ah, maxaa yeelay, anigu hadalka waan shigaa, waanan carrab la'ahay. 11 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Kan dadka afkiisa sameeyey waa ayo? Yaase dadka carrab tira, ama dhego tira, ama wax tusa, ama indho tira? Sow anigan Rabbiga ah ma aha? 12 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed tag, oo anigaa afkaaga la jiri doona oo ku bari doona wixii aad ku hadli lahayd. 13 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, Waan ku baryayaaye, dir kaad doonaysid inaad dirtid. 14 Markaasaa Rabbigu u cadhooday Muuse, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Sow ma joogo walaalkaa Haaruun oo ah reer Laawi? Waan ogahay inuu isagu si wanaagsan u hadli karo. Oo bal ogow, wuu u soo socdaa inuu kula kulmo, oo markuu ku arko, qalbigiisuu ka farxi doonaa. 15 Haddaba waa inaad isaga la hadashaa, oo aad erayada afkiisa ku riddaa, oo anigu afkaagaan la jiri doonaa, iyo afkiisaba, oo waxaan idin barayaa wixii aad samayn lahaydeen. 16 Oo isagu wuxuu kuu noqon doonaa ninka dadka kuula hadla, oo waxay noqon doontaa inuu isagu af kuu noqdo, adna waxaad isaga u noqon doontaa Ilaah oo kale. 17 Haddaba waa inaad gacanta ku qaadatid ushan aad cajaa'ibyada ku samayn doontid.

Muuse Oo Ku Noqday Masar

18 Markaasaa Muuse tegey oo wuxuu ku noqday soddoggiis Yetroo, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, Bal i sii daa aan tagee, oo ku noqdo walaalahayga Masar jooga, oo aan soo arkee bal inay nool yihiin iyo in kale. Markaasaa Yetroo wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Nabad ku tag. 19 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi Muuse, isagoo Midyaan jooga, Tag, oo Masar ku noqo, waayo, dadkii doondoonayay inay nafta kaa qaadaan way wada dhinteen. 20 Markaasaa Muuse wuxuu watay naagtiisii iyo wiilashiisii, oo wuxuu saartay dameer, wuxuuna ku noqday dalkii Masar. Markaasaa Muuse ushii Ilaah gacanta ku qaatay. 21 Rabbiguna wuxuu Muuse ku yidhi, Markii aad Masar ku noqotid, cajaa'ibyadii aan gacantaada ku riday oo dhan Fircoon hortiisa ku samee, laakiinse anigu qalbigiisaan qallafin doonaa, oo dadka ma uu sii dayn doono inay tagaan. 22 Oo waxaad Fircoon ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Israa'iil waa wiilkayga curadka ah, 23 oo waxaan adiga kugu idhi, Wiilkayga sii daa, ha tagee oo ha ii adeegee. Adiguse waad u diiday inuu tago. Bal hadda ogow, waxaan dili doonaa wiilkaaga curadka ah. 24 Intay jidka sii socdeen meel bay ku habeen dhexeen, Rabbi baana ugu yimid, oo wuxuu damcay inuu dilo isaga. 25 Markaasaa Siforaah waxay qaadatay dhagax af leh, oo wiilkeedii buuryadiisii bay ku gooysay, oo waxay ku ag tuurtay cagihiisa oo tidhi, Hubaal waxaad ii tahay arooskii dhiigga. 26 Markaasuu iska daayay isagii. Kolkaasay tidhi, Waxaad ii tahay arooskii dhiigga gudniinta aawadeed. 27 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Haaruun ku yidhi, Tag inaad Muuse kaga hor tagtid cidlada dhexdeeda. Markaasuu tegey, oo wuxuu kaga hor tegey buurta Ilaah, kolkaasuu dhunkaday. 28 Kolkaasaa Muuse wuxuu Haaruun u sheegay erayadii Rabbigu u soo faray oo dhan, iyo calaamooyinkii uu ku amray oo dhan. 29 Markaasaa Muuse iyo Haaruun tageen oo waxay isu soo ururiyeen waayeelladii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. 30 Markaasaa Haaruun kula hadlay erayadii Rabbigu Muuse u soo faray oo dhan, calaamooyinkiina dadka hortiisuu ku sameeyey. 31 Dadkiina way rumaysteen, oo markay maqleen inuu Rabbigu soo booqday reer binu Israa'iil iyo inuu arkay dhibaatadooda ayay madaxa hoos u foorariyeen oo caabudeen.

Signs for Moses

Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen(A) to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”

Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?”

“A staff,”(B) he replied.

The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”

Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake,(C) and he ran from it. Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe(D) 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.”

Then the Lord said, “Put your hand inside your cloak.” So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous[a]—it had become as white as snow.(E)

“Now put it back into your cloak,” he said. So Moses put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored,(F) like the rest of his flesh.

Then the Lord said, “If they do not believe(G) you or pay attention to the first sign,(H) they may believe the second. But if they do not believe these two signs or listen to you, take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground. The water you take from the river will become blood(I) on the ground.”

10 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”(J)

11 The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute?(K) Who gives them sight or makes them blind?(L) Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now go;(M) I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”(N)

13 But Moses said, “Pardon your servant, Lord. Please send someone else.”(O)

14 Then the Lord’s anger burned(P) against Moses and he said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet(Q) you, and he will be glad to see you. 15 You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth;(R) I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do. 16 He will speak to the people for you, and it will be as if he were your mouth(S) and as if you were God to him.(T) 17 But take this staff(U) in your hand(V) so you can perform the signs(W) with it.”

Moses Returns to Egypt

18 Then Moses went back to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Let me return to my own people in Egypt to see if any of them are still alive.”

Jethro said, “Go, and I wish you well.”

19 Now the Lord had said to Moses in Midian, “Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill(X) you are dead.(Y) 20 So Moses took his wife and sons,(Z) put them on a donkey and started back to Egypt. And he took the staff(AA) of God in his hand.

21 The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders(AB) I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart(AC) so that he will not let the people go.(AD) 22 Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the Lord says: Israel is my firstborn son,(AE) 23 and I told you, “Let my son go,(AF) so he may worship(AG) me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’”(AH)

24 At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses[b] and was about to kill(AI) him. 25 But Zipporah(AJ) took a flint knife, cut off her son’s foreskin(AK) and touched Moses’ feet with it.[c] “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” she said. 26 So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)

27 The Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he met Moses at the mountain(AL) of God and kissed(AM) him. 28 Then Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say, and also about all the signs he had commanded him to perform.

29 Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders(AN) of the Israelites, 30 and Aaron told them everything the Lord had said to Moses. He also performed the signs(AO) before the people, 31 and they believed.(AP) And when they heard that the Lord was concerned(AQ) about them and had seen their misery,(AR) they bowed down and worshiped.(AS)
