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.

¹Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, 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.

²The angel of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

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

³Moses said, “I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”

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.

⁴When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!” He said, “Here I am.”

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

⁵He said, “Don’t come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on 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.

⁶Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at 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;

⁷Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

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.

⁸I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, 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.

⁹Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

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

¹⁰Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children 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?

¹¹Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of 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.

¹²He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

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?

¹³Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you;’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ What should I tell 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.

¹⁴God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to 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.

¹⁵God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

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;

¹⁶Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen 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 have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to 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.

¹⁸They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.’

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

¹⁹I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty 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.

²⁰I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that he will let you go.

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.

²¹I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.

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.

²²But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”
