¹Ary Mosesy niandry ny ondry aman'osin'i Jetro rafozany, mpisorona tao Midiana, dia nitondra ny ondry aman'osy tany ankoatry ny efitra ka nankany Horeba, tendrombohitr'Andriamanitra.

¹And Moses hath been feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he leadeth the flock behind the wilderness, and cometh in unto the mount of God, to Horeb;

²Ary Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah niseho taminy teo anaty lelafo teo amin'ny roimemy anankiray; dia nijery izy, ka, indro, nirehitra afo ny roimemy, kanefa tsy nahalevonana.

²and there appeareth unto him a messenger of Jehovah in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he seeth, and lo, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.

³Ary hoy Mosesy: Hivily kely aho ka hizaha io fahitana lehibe io, hahafantarako izay tsy ahalevonan'ny roimemy.

³And Moses saith, `Let me turn aside, I pray thee, and I see this great appearance; wherefore is the bush not burned?`

⁴Ary rehefa hitan'i Jehovah fa nivily hizaha izy, dia niantso azy tao afovoan'ny roimemy Andriamanitra ka nanao hoe: Ry Mosesy, ry Mosesy! Dia hoy izy: Inty aho.

⁴and Jehovah seeth that he hath turned aside to see, and God calleth unto him out of the midst of the bush, and saith, `Moses, Moses;` and he saith, `Here [am] I.`

⁵Ary hoy Izy: Aza manakaiky etỳ; esory ny kapanao amin'ny tongotrao, fa tany masina io ijanonanao io.

⁵And He saith, `Come not near hither: cast thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place on which thou art standing is holy ground.`

⁶Dia hoy koa Izy: Izaho no Andriamanitry ny razanao, dia Andriamanitr'i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr'Isaka ary Andriamanitr'i Jakoba. Dia nisaron-tava Mosesy, fa natahotra hijery an'Andriamanitra izy.

⁶He saith also, `I [am] the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;` and Moses hideth his face, for he is afraid to look towards God.

⁷Ary hoy Jehovah: Efa hitako tokoa ny fahorian'ny oloko izay any Egypta, ary efa reko ny fitarainany noho ny ataon'ny mpampiasa azy; eny, fantatro ny alahelony;

⁷And Jehovah saith, `I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and their cry I have heard, because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;

⁸dia efa nidina Aho izao hamonjy azy amin'ny tanan'ny Egyptiana ka hitondra azy hiakatra hiala amin'izany tany izany ho any amin'izay tany soa sy malalaka, dia any amin'izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely, any amin'ny tanin'ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita.

⁸and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey — unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

⁹Ary ankehitriny, indro, ny fitarainan'ny Zanak'Isiraely dia efa mby atỳ amiko, sady efa hitako koa ny fahoriana izay ampahorian'ny Egyptiana azy.

⁹`And now, lo, the cry of the sons of Israel hath come in unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,

¹⁰Koa avia ankehitriny ianao hirahiko ho any amin'i Farao hitondra ny Zanak'Isiraely oloko hivoaka avy any Egypta.

¹⁰and now, come, and I send thee unto Pharaoh, and bring thou out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.`

¹¹Fa hoy Mosesy tamin'Andriamanitra: Iza moa aho no hankany amin'i Farao sy hitondra ny Zanak'Isiraely hivoaka avy any Egypta?

¹¹And Moses saith unto God, `Who [am] I, that I go unto Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?`

¹²Ary hoy Izy: Homba anao tokoa Aho; ary izao no famantarana ho anao fa Izaho no efa naniraka anao; rehefa entinao mivoaka avy any Egypta ny olona, dia hanompo an'Andriamanitra eto amin'ity tendrombohitra ity ianareo.

¹²and He saith, `Because I am with thee, and this [is] to thee the sign that I have sent thee: in thy bringing out the people from Egypt — ye do serve God on this mount.`

¹³Ary hoy Mosesy tamin'Andriamanitra: Indro, rehefa tonga any amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely aho ka manao aminy hoe: Andriamanitry ny razanareo no efa naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminareo, ary hanao amiko hoe kosa izy: Iza moa no anarany? dia ahoana no havaliko azy?

¹³And Moses saith unto God, `Lo, I am coming unto the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they have said to me, What [is] His name? what do I say unto them?`

¹⁴Ary hoy Andriamanitra tamin'i Mosesy: IZAHO, IZAY IZY HATRIZAY HATRIZAY KA HO MANDRAKIZAY. Ary hoy koa Izy: Izao no holazainao amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely: IZAHO IZAY Izy no efa naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminareo.

¹⁴And God saith unto Moses, `I AM THAT WHICH I AM;` He saith also, `Thus dost thou say to the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.`

¹⁵Ary hoy koa Andriamanitra tamin'i Mosesy: Izao no holazainao amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, dia Andriamanitr'i Abrahama sy Andriamanitr'i Isaka ary Andriamanitr'i Jakoba, no efa naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminareo; izany no anarako mandrakizay, ary izany no hahatsiarovana Ahy hatramin'ny taranaka fara mandimby.

¹⁵And God saith again unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this [is] My name — to the age, and this My memorial, to generation — generation.

¹⁶Mandehana, dia angòny ny loholon'ny Isiraely, ka lazao aminy hoe: Efa niseho tamiko Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, dia Andriamanitr'i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba, ka nanao hoe: Efa namangy anareo tokoa Aho ka nahita ny anaovana anareo atỳ Egypta;

¹⁶`Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;

¹⁷ary hoy Izaho: Hitondra anareo hiakatra Aho ho afaka amin'ny fahoriana atỳ Egypta ho any amin'ny tanin'ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita, ho any amin'izay tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.

¹⁷and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

¹⁸Dia hihaino ny feonao izy; ary hankao amin'ny mpanjakan'i Egypta ianao sy ny loholon'ny Isiraely ka hilaza aminy hoe: Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Hebreo, efa nihaona taminay; ary ankehitriny, trarantitra ianao, aoka handeha lalan-kateloana any an-efitra izahay mba hamono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah Andriamanitray.

¹⁸`And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

¹⁹Kanefa Izaho mahalala fa tsy havelan'ny mpanjakan'i Egypta handeha ianareo, tsia, na dia amin'ny tanana mahery aza.

¹⁹`And I — I have known that the king of Egypt doth not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,

²⁰Dia haninjitra ny tanako Aho ka hamely an'i Egypta amin'ny fahagagana rehetra izay hataoko eo aminy; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia vao handefa anareo izy.

²⁰and I have put forth My hand, and have smitten Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst — and afterwards he doth send you away.

²¹Ary hataoko mahita fitia eo imason'ny Egyptiana ity firenena ity, ka raha handeha ianareo, dia tsy mba handeha maina;fa ny vehivavy samy hangataka firavaka volafotsy sy volamena ary fitafiana amin'ny miray monina aminy sy amin'izay mivahiny ao an-tranony; dia hataonareo amin'ny zanakareo-lahy sy ny zanakareo-vavy izany, ka dia hofoananareo ny Egyptiana.

²¹`And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it hath come to pass, when ye go, ye go not empty;

²²fa ny vehivavy samy hangataka firavaka volafotsy sy volamena ary fitafiana amin'ny miray monina aminy sy amin'izay mivahiny ao an-tranony; dia hataonareo amin'ny zanakareo-lahy sy ny zanakareo-vavy izany, ka dia hofoananareo ny Egyptiana.

²²and [every] woman hath asked from her neighbour, and from her who is sojourning in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and ye have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.`
