1And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 2And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. 3And 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. 4And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: 5That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
6¶ And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. 7And he said, Put thine hand into thy 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. 8And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 9And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.4.9 shall become: Heb. shall be and shall be
10¶ And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.4.10 eloquent: Heb. a man of words4.10 heretofore: Heb. since yesterday, nor since the third day 11And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 12Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 13And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.4.13 wilt: or, shouldest 14And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 15And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. 16And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God. 17And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
18¶ And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.4.18 Jethro: Heb. Jether 19And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life. 20And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand. 21And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go. 22And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: 23And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
24¶ And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. 25Then 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 art thou to me.4.25 sharp…: or, knife4.25 cast…: Heb. made it touch 26So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
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. 28And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
29¶ And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: 30And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Mukama Awa Musa Obuyinza Okukola Ebyamagero
14:1 Kuv 3:18; 6:30Musa n’addamu nti, “Tebagenda kunzikiriza, wadde okuwuliriza ebyo bye mbagamba: kubanga bagenda kwogera nti, Mukama takulabikiranga.”
24:2 nny 17, 20Awo Mukama n’amubuuza nti, “Ekyo kiki ekiri mu ngalo zo?”
N’addamu nti, “Muggo.”
3Mukama Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Gusuule wansi.”
Musa n’agusuula wansi; ne gufuuka omusota, n’agudduka! 4Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Golola omukono gwo ogukwate akawuuwo ogusitule.” N’agolola omukono gwe n’agukwata, ne gufuuka omuggo mu mukono gwe. 54:5 Kuv 19:9Mukama n’amugamba nti, “Bw’olikola bw’otyo bagenda kukukkiriza, era balitegeera nga Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe, Katonda wa Ibulayimu, era Katonda wa Isaaka, era Katonda wa Yakobo, yakulabikira.”
64:6 Kbl 12:10; 2Bk 5:1, 27Mukama n’amugamba nate nti, “Yingiza omukono gwo munda mu kyambalo kyo.” N’ayingiza omukono gwe munda mu kyambalo kye: bwe yaguggyaayo, laba, nga gujjudde ebigenge nga gutukula ng’omuzira.
74:7 Kbl 12:13-15; Ma 32:39; 2Bk 5:14; Mat 8:3Ate n’amugamba nti, “Zzaayo omukono gwo munda mu kyambalo kyo.” Musa n’azzaayo omukono gwe mu kyambalo kye. Bwe yaguggyaayo, laba nga gufuuse mulamu ng’omubiri gwe ogwa bulijjo.
8Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Bwe batalikukkiririza ku kabonero akasoose, balikukkiririza ku kabonero akookubiri. 94:9 Kuv 7:17-21Bwe bagaananga okukukkiriza nga bamaze okulaba obubonero obwo bwombi, osenanga amazzi mu mugga n’ogayiwa ku lukalu; amazzi ago g’olisena mu mugga, galifuuka omusaayi ng’ogayiye ku lukalu.”
104:10 Kuv 6:12; Yer 1:6Awo Musa n’agamba Mukama nti, “Ayi Mukama wange, siri mwogezi mulungi okuva edda n’edda, wadde ne mu kiseera kino ggwe kaayogerera nange, omuddu wo; njogera nnembeggerera ate nga bwe nnaanaagira.” 114:11 Zab 94:9; Mat 11:5Mukama n’amuddamu nti, “Ani yakola akamwa k’omuntu? Ani yatonda bakasiru, ne bakiggala, n’abatunula, ne bamuzibe? Si nze, Mukama? 124:12 Is 50:4; Yer 1:9; Mat 10:19-20; Mak 13:11; Luk 12:12; 21:14-15Kaakano, genda! Nnaakuyambanga ng’oyogera, era nnaakuyigirizanga by’onooyogeranga.”
13Naye Musa n’agamba nti, “Mukama wange, nkwegayiridde tuma omuntu omulala.” 144:14 nny 27Mukama n’asunguwalira nnyo Musa, n’amugamba nti, “Muganda wo Alooni Omuleevi, taliiwo? Mmanyi nga mwogezi mulungi; era, laba, ajja gy’oli, era bw’anaakulabako ajja kusanyuka mu mutima gwe. 154:15 Kbl 23:5, 12, 16Ggwe ojja kwogeranga naye, nze nnaakutegeezanga ky’onoomugambanga, nange n’abayambanga mwembi, ne mbayigiriza eky’okukola. 164:16 Kuv 7:1-2Y’anaakwogereranga eri abantu, ng’abategeeza bye wandiyogedde; ggwe n’oba nga Katonda gy’ali, ng’omutegeezanga by’anaayogeranga. 174:17 a nny 2 b Kuv 7:9-21Era oligenda n’omuggo guno, ng’ogukutte mu mukono gwo; gw’onookozesanga ebyamagero.”
18Awo Musa n’addayo eri Yesero, kitaawe wa mukazi we n’amugamba nti, “Nkusaba onzikirize ŋŋende ndabe obanga baganda bange e Misiri bakyali balamu.” Yesero n’addamu Musa nti, “Genda mirembe.”
Musa Addayoko e Misiri
194:19 a Kuv 2:15 b Kuv 2:23Awo Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa e Midiyaani nti, “Genda, oddeyo e Misiri kubanga abantu bonna abaali baagala okukutta, baafa.” 204:20 Kuv 17:9; Kbl 20:8-9, 11Musa n’addira mukyala we n’abaana be, n’abassa ku ndogoyi, n’asitula okuddayo mu nsi y’e Misiri, ng’akutte omuggo gwa Katonda mu ngalo ze.
214:21 a Kuv 3:19, 20 b Kuv 7:3, 13; 9:12, 35; 14:4, 8; Ma 2:30; Is 63:17; Yk 12:40; Bar 9:18Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Bw’oddangayo e Misiri, okoleranga ebyamagero ebyo byonna bye nkulaze, awali Falaawo. Nze ndikakanyaza omutima gwe, abantu bange aleme okubakkiriza okugenda. 224:22 Is 63:16; 64:8; Yer 31:9; Kos 11:1; Bar 9:4Falaawo omugambanga bw’oti nti, Mukama agambye nti, ‘Isirayiri mutabani wange, ye mwana wange omubereberye; 234:23 a Kuv 5:1; 7:16 b Kuv 11:5; 12:12, 29era nkulagira oleke omwana wange agende ampeereze; naye singa ogaana okumuleka okugenda, laba, nditta mutabani wo omubereberye.’ ”
244:24 Kbl 22:22Awo bwe baali bagenda nga batuuse ku nnyumba y’abagenyi, Mukama n’amulabikira, n’ayagala okumutta. 254:25 Lub 17:14; Yos 5:2, 3Naye Zipola n’addira ejjinja eryogi, n’akomola omwana we, ekikuta n’akisuula ku bigere bya Musa, n’amugamba nti, “Oli baze wa musaayi!” 26Awo Mukama n’amuleka. Mu kaseera ako Zipola we yayogerera ku kukomola nti, “Baze wange ng’osaabye omusaayi!”
274:27 a Kuv 3:1 b nny 14Awo Mukama n’agamba Alooni nti, “Genda mu ddungu, osisinkane Musa. N’agenda, n’amusanga ku lusozi lwa Katonda, ne bagwaŋŋana mu bifuba.” 284:28 nny 8-9, 16Musa n’abuulira Alooni ebigambo byonna Mukama bye yali amutumye okwogera, n’obubonero bwonna obw’ebyamagero bwe yamulagira okukola.
294:29 Kuv 3:16Musa ne Alooni ne bagenda, ne bakuŋŋaanya abakulu abakulembeze b’abaana ba Isirayiri; 30Alooni n’abategeeza byonna Mukama bye yagamba Musa; era n’abakolera n’obubonero, 314:31 a nny 8; Kuv 3:18 b Kuv 2:25ne bakkiriza. Era bwe baawulira nga Mukama yakyalira abaana ba Isirayiri, n’alaba okubonaabona kwabwe, ne bakoteka emitwe gyabwe ne basinza.
