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.

¹Tojoßnak laj Moisés quichakßoc ut quixye: —Eb laj Israel incßaß tineßxpâb ut incßaß teßraj rabinquil li cßaßru tinye. Eb aßan teßxye cue, “Li Kâcuaß Dios incßaß xcßutbesi rib châcuu,” chaßkeb.—

²And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

²Li Dios quixye re: —¿Cßaßru li cuan saß âcuukß? chan. —Jun li xukß, chan laj Moisés.

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.

³Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye: —Cut chiru chßochß.— Nak quixcut lix xukß chiru chßochß quisukßi chokß cßantiß. Nak quiril li cßantiß laj Moisés quiêlelic chiru.

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:

⁴Tojoßnak li Kâcuaß Dios quixye cuißchic re laj Moisés: —Chap chi xye li cßantiß, chan. Ut laj Moisés quixchap li cßantiß. Ut saß li rukß quisukßi cuißchic chokß xukß.

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.

⁵Ut li Dios quixye re: —Bânu chi joßcan chiruheb laj Israel re nak eb aßan teßxpâb nak lâin lix Dios lix xeßtônil yucuaßeb laj Abraham, laj Isaac ut laj Jacob. Lâin xincßutbesi cuib châcuu.—

⁶And 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.

⁶Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye cuißchic re: —Chßic lâ cuukß rubel lâ tel.— Laj Moisés quixchßic li rukß rubel lix tel ut nak quiril chic saklep chic li rukß. Sak sak chi us li rukß.

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.

⁷Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye: —Chßic cuißchic lâ cuukß rubel lâ tel.— Laj Moisés quixchßic cuißchic li rukß rubel lix tel. Nak quirisi li rukß ac xqßuira.

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.

⁸Ut li Dios quixye re: —Cui li tenamit incßaß tateßxpâb ut cui incßaß teßraj teßril li tâbânu xbên cua riqßuin lâ xukß, mâre teßxpâb nak tâbânu xcaß sut riqßuin lâ cuukß.

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.

⁹Cui incßaß teßxpâb li cuib chi naßleb aßin ut incßaß teßraj teßrabi lâ cuâtin, tâchap caßchßinak li haß li cuan saß li nimaß ut tâhoy saß chßochß. Li haß aßan tâsukßîk chokß quicß chiru chßochß, chan li Kâcuaß Dios.

¹⁰And 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.

¹⁰Tojoßnak quichakßoc laj Moisés ut quixye: —At Kâcuaß, lâin chßaßaj li âtinac chicuu. Ac cue nak incßaß ninnau âtinac chalen chak saß incaßchßinal. Ut chalen ajcuiß anakcuan nak yôcat chicuâtinanquil incßaß ninnau âtinac, chan laj Moisés.

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?

¹¹Ut li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re: —¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß lâin xinqßuehoc xtzßûmal re li cuînk? ¿Ani xbânun re li mem ut li tzßap xic ut li mutzß? ¿Ma mâcuaß lâin li nimajcual Dios?

¹²Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

¹²Anakcuan tatxic ut lâin tintenkßânk âcue riqßuin lâ cuâtin. Lâin tincßut châcuu li cßaßru tâye, chan li Kâcuaß Dios.

¹³And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.

¹³Ut laj Moisés quixye: —At Kâcuaß, bânu usilal, takla jalan chic.—

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.

¹⁴Quichal xjoskßil li Kâcuaß Dios saß xbên laj Moisés. Tojoßnak quixye re laj Moisés: —¿Ma incßaß ta biß ninnau ru lâ cuas laj Aarón laj levita? Aßan sa naâtinac. Nak tatxic aran Egipto aßan tâêlk chak châcßulbal. Tâsahokß saß xchßôl nak târil âcuu.

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.

¹⁵Lâat tâcuâtina aßan ut tâchßolob chiru li cßaßru tixye. Lâin tintenkßânk âcue riqßuin lâ cuâtin joß ajcuiß aßan. Lâin tincßut chêru li cßaßru têbânu.

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.

¹⁶Aßan tâcßanjelak chokß âcuûchil. Lâat tâyehok li cuâtin re aßan ut aßan chic tâyehok reheb li tenamit.

¹⁷And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.

¹⁷Ut li xukß aßin tâcßam saß âcuukß ut riqßuin aßan tâbânu li naßleb li xincßut châcuu, chan li Dios re.

¹⁸And 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.

¹⁸Joßcan nak cô laj Moisés ut cox-êlk riqßuin laj Jetro lix yucuaß li rixakil ut quixye re: —Bânu usilal tinâcanab chi xic chi rilbaleb lin comon li cuanqueb aran Egipto. Tincuileb chak ma saheb saß xchßôl, ma yoßyôqueb na chixjunileb, chan. Laj Jetro quixye re laj Moisés: —Ayu biß. Chatsukßîk taxak joß nak xic âcue, chan.

¹⁹And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.

¹⁹Laj Moisés cuan chak Madián nak quiâtinâc xban li Kâcuaß Dios. Quiyeheß re: —Ayu, tatxic cuißchic Egipto xban nak xeßcam li queßajoc raj re âcamsinquil.—

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.

²⁰Tojoßnak laj Moisés quixqßue li rixakil joß eb ajcuiß li ralal chirixeb lix bûreb. Ut queßcôeb Egipto. Quixcßam ajcuiß saß rukß lix xukß li quiqßueheß re xban li Dios.

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.

²¹Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye ajcuiß re laj Moisés: —Nak cuânkat aran Egipto, tâbânu chiru laj faraón chixjunil li cßaßru xinye âcue ut xinqßue âcuanquilal chixbânunquil. Lâin tinqßue xcacuil xchßôl laj faraón re nak incßaß tixcanabeb chi êlc eb laj Israel.

²²And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

²²Tâye re laj faraón, “Li Kâcuaß Dios xye chi joßcaßin: Eb laj Israel aßaneb li xbêneb cualal incßajol.

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.

²³Xinye âcue nak tâcanabeb chi xic eb laj Israel re nak teßcßanjelak chicuu. Cui incßaß nacacanabeb chi xic, lâin tincamsi li xbên âcualal, chaßkat re laj faraón,” chan li Dios re laj Moisés.

²⁴And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.

²⁴Saß li be naxic Egipto yôqueb chixnumsinquil li kßojyîn saß jun cab nak coxtauhekß laj Moisés xban li Kâcuaß Dios. Quicamsîc raj aran xban li Kâcuaß Dios.

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.

²⁵Tojoßnak lix Séfora quixchap jun li kßesnal pec ut quixbânu circuncidar li ralal laj Moisés chiru li pec aßan. Quixcut lix tzßûmal li quixset saß rok lix bêlom ut quixye re: —Xban nak xhoyeß xquiqßuel lâ cualal nak xcßul li circuncisión, lâat incßaß tatcâmk, chan.

²⁶So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.

²⁶Xban li circuncisión lix Séfora quixye re: —Xban nak xhoyeß xquiqßuel lâ cualal nak xcßul li circuncisión, lâat incßaß tatcâmk, chan. Joßcan nak li Dios incßaß quixcamsi laj Moisés.

²⁷And 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.

²⁷Li Kâcuaß Dios quixye re laj Aarón: —Tatxic saß li chaki chßochß. Tâcßul chak laj Moisés.— Ut laj Aarón cô chixcßulbal laj Moisés saß li tzûl bar quiâtinâc cuiß xban li Dios. Laj Aarón quirutzß ru xban nak sa saß xchßôl chi rilbal.

²⁸And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.

²⁸Ut laj Moisés quixserakßi re laj Aarón chixjunil li cßaßru quiyeheß re xban li Kâcuaß Dios. Quixserakßi ajcuiß re chirix chixjunil li cßaßru quitaklâc xbânunquil.

²⁹And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:

²⁹Queßcôeb Egipto laj Moisés rochben laj Aarón. Ut aran queßxchßutubeb chixjunileb li cuînk li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj Israel.

³⁰And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

³⁰Ut laj Aarón quiâtinac riqßuineb laj Israel ut quixye reheb li cßaßru quiyeheß re laj Moisés xban li Kâcuaß Dios.

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.

³¹Ut li cristian queßxpâb li cßaßru queßyeheß re. Queßrabi nak li Kâcuaß Dios quixnau li raylal li yôqueb chixcßulbal ut quixtokßoba ruheb, queßxxulub lix jolomeb ut queßxlokßoni li Kâcuaß Dios.
