2. 2LUGMalayika wa Mukama n’amulabikira ng’asinziira mu muliro ogwaka, mu makkati g’ekisaka. Musa n’atunuulira ekisaka, n’alaba nga kyaka naye nga tekisiriira.BSBBSB: There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from within a bush. Moses saw the bush ablaze with fire, but it was not consumed.

6. 6LUGNe yeeyongera n’amugamba nti, “Nze Katonda wa kitaawo, era nze Katonda wa Ibulayimu, nze Katonda wa Isaaka, era nze Katonda wa Yakobo.” Musa bwe yawulira ebyo n’akweka amaaso ge, kubanga yatya okutunuulira Katonda.BSBBSB: Then He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

15. 15LUGKatonda n’ayongera n’agamba Musa nti, “Tegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti, ‘Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjammwe: Katonda wa Ibulayimu, era Katonda wa Isaaka, era nga ye Katonda wa Yakobo, y’antumye gye muli.’ “Eryo lye linnya lyange ery’olubeerera, era lye linnya lye nnajjuukirirwangako mu buli mulembe ogunaddiriranga gunnaagwo.BSBBSB: God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, 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 how I am to be remembered in every generation.
16. 16LUG“Genda okuŋŋaanye abakadde ba Isirayiri, obategeeze nti, ‘Mukama, Katonda wa bajjajjammwe, Katonda wa Ibulayimu, era owa Isaaka, era owa Yakobo, yandabikira, n’aŋŋamba nti, Ntunuulidde abantu bange, ne ndaba ebibakolebwa mu Misiri.BSBBSB: Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me and said: I have surely attended to you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.

18. 18LUG“Abakadde ba Isirayiri bagenda kuwuliriza by’ogamba. Kale, ggwe n’abakadde ba Isirayiri muligenda eri kabaka wa Misiri ne mumugamba nti, ‘Mukama, Katonda w’Abaebbulaniya yeeraga gye tuli. Tukkirize tugende mu ddungu, olugendo lwa nnaku ssatu, tuweeyo ssaddaaka eri Mukama Katonda waffe.’BSBBSB: The elders of Israel will listen to what you say, and you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’
19. 19LUGNaye mmanyi nga kabaka w’e Misiri talibakkiriza kugenda, wabula ng’awalirizibbwa n’amaanyi mangi.BSBBSB: But I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless a mighty hand compels him.

Ebyo byonna mulibyambaza batabani bammwe ne bawala bammwe; Abamisiri ne muleka nga mubakalizza.”BSBBSB: Every woman shall ask her neighbor and any woman staying in her house for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, and you will put them on your sons and daughters.
