Exodus 3
1 And Moses was feeding the flock of Jothor his father-in-law, the priest of Madiam; and he brought the sheep nigh to the wilderness, and came to the mount of Choreb.
Torej Mojzes je varoval trop svojega tasta Jitra, midjánskega duhovnika in vodil trop k zadnjemu delu puščave in prišel h gori Boga, k Horebu.
2 And an angel of the Lord appeared to him in flaming fire out of the bush, and he sees that the bush burns with fire, —but the bush was not consumed.
Gospodov angel se mu je prikazal v ognjenem plamenu iz srede grma in pogledal je in glej, grm je gorel z ognjem, pa grm ni bil použit.
3 And Moses said, I will go near and see this great sight, why the bush is not consumed.
Mojzes je rekel: »Sedaj se bom obrnil vstran in pogledal ta velik prizor, zakaj grm ne zgori.«
4 And when the Lord saw that he drew nigh to see, the Lord called him out of the bush, saying, Moses, Moses; and he said, What is it?
Ko je Gospod videl, da se je obrnil vstran, da bi videl, je Bog iz srede grma zaklical k njemu ter rekel: »Mojzes, Mojzes.« Ta je rekel: »Tukaj sem.«
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: loose thy sandals from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Rekel je: »Ne približaj se, svoje čevlje sezuj s svojih stopal, kajti prostor, na katerem stojiš, je sveta zemlja.«
6 And he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraam, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; and Moses turned away his face, for he was afraid to gaze at God.
Poleg tega je rekel: »Jaz sem Bog tvojega očeta, Bog Abrahama, Bog Izaka in Bog Jakoba.« In Mojzes je skril svoj obraz, kajti bal se je, da bi pogledal na Boga.
7 And the Lord said to Moses, I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and I have heard their cry [caused] by their task-masters; for I know their affliction.
Gospod je rekel: »Zagotovo sem videl stisko svojega ljudstva, ki je v Egiptu in slišal njihovo vpitje zaradi njihovih preddelavcev, kajti poznam njihove bridkosti
8 And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land, and to bring them into a good and wide land, into a land flowing with milk and honey, into the place of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorites, and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites.
in prišel sem dol, da jih osvobodim iz roke Egipčanov in jih privedem iz te dežele gor v dobro in veliko deželo, deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med, v deželo Kánaancev, Hetejcev, Amoréjcev, Perizéjcev, Hivéjcev in Jebusejcev.
9 And now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come to me, and I have seen the affliction with which the Egyptians afflict them.
Zdaj torej, glej, k meni je prišlo vpitje Izraelovih otrok in videl sem tudi zatiranje, s kakršnim so jih Egipčani zatirali.
10 And now come, I will send thee to Pharao king of Egypt, and thou shalt bring out my people the children of Israel from the land of Egypt.
Pridi torej zdaj in jaz te bom poslal k faraonu, da lahko privedeš moje ljudstvo, Izraelove otroke, iz Egipta.«
11 And Moses said to God, Who am I, that I should go to Pharao king of Egypt, and that I should bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt?
Mojzes pa je Bogu rekel: »Kdo sem jaz, da bi šel k faraonu in da bi lahko Izraelove otroke privedel iz Egipta?«
12 And God spoke to Moses, saying, I will be with thee, and this shall be the sign to thee that I shall send thee forth, —when thou bringest out my people out of Egypt, then ye shall serve God in this mountain.
Rekel je: »Zagotovo bom s teboj in to ti bodi simbol, da sem te jaz poslal. Ko boš ljudstvo privedel iz Egipta, boste na tej gori služili Bogu.«
13 And Moses said to God, Behold, I shall go forth to the children of Israel, and shall say to them, The God of our fathers has sent me to you; and they will ask me, What is his name? What shall I say to them?
Mojzes je Bogu rekel: »Glej, ko pridem k Izraelovim otrokom in jim bom rekel: ›K vam me je poslal Bog vaših očetov, ‹ pa mi bodo rekli: ›Kakšno je njegovo ime?‹ Kaj naj jim rečem?«
14 And God spoke to Moses, saying, I am THE BEING; and he said, Thus shall ye say to the children of Israel, THE BEING has sent me to you.
Bog je Mojzesu rekel: »JAZ SEM, KI SEM.« Rekel je: »Tako boš govoril Izraelovim otrokom: ›JAZ SEM me je poslal k vam.‹«
15 And God said again to Moses, Thus shalt thou say to the sons of Israel, The Lord God of our fathers, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and my memorial to generations of generations.
Bog je Mojzesu poleg tega povedal: »Tako boš rekel Izraelovim otrokom: ›K vam me je poslal Gospod, Bog vaših očetov, Bog Abrahama, Bog Izaka in Bog Jakoba. To je moje ime na veke in to je moj spomin vsem rodovom.‹
16 Go then and gather the elders of the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, The Lord God of our fathers has appeared to me, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, saying, I have surely looked upon you, and upon all the things which have happened to you in Egypt.
Pojdi in zberi skupaj vse Izraelove starešine ter jim reci: ›Prikazal se mi je Gospod, Bog vaših očetov, Bog Abrahama, Izaka in Jakoba, rekoč: ›Zagotovo sem vas obiskal in videl to, kar vam je storjeno v Egiptu.‹«
17 And he said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of the Egyptians to the land of the Chananites and the Chettites, and Amorites and Pherezites, and Gergesites, and Evites, and Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.
In rekel sem: »Jaz vas bom privedel gor iz egiptovske stiske v deželo Kánaancev, Hetejcev, Amoréjcev, Perizéjcev, Hivéjcev in Jebusejcev, v deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med.
18 And they shall hearken to thy voice, and thou and the elders of Israel shall go in to Pharao king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him, The God of the Hebrews has called us; we will go then a journey of three days into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to our God.
Prisluhnili bodo tvojemu glasu in ti boš prišel, ti in Izraelove starešine, k egiptovskemu kralju in mu boste rekli: › Gospod, Bog Hebrejcev, se je srečal z nami in sedaj nas pusti iti, rotimo te, tri dni potovanja v divjino, da bomo lahko žrtvovali Gospodu, našemu Bogu.‹
19 But I know that Pharao king of Egypt will not let you go, save with a mighty hand;
Prepričan pa sem, da vam egiptovski kralj ne bo pustil oditi, ne, niti z mogočno roko ne.
20 and I will stretch out my hand, and smite the Egyptians with all my wonders, which I shall work among them, and after that he will send you forth.
Svojo roko bom iztegnil in Egipt udaril z vsemi čudeži, ki jih bom storil v njihovi sredi in nató vas bo pustil oditi.
21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, and whenever ye shall escape, ye shall not depart empty.
Temu ljudstvu bom dal naklonjenost v očeh Egipčanov in zgodilo se bo, ko greste, da ne boste odšli prazni,
22 But [every] woman shall ask of her neighbour and fellow lodger, articles of gold and silver, and apparel; and ye shall put them upon your sons and upon your daughters, —and spoil ye the Egyptians.
temveč si bo vsaka ženska izposodila od sosede in od tiste, ki začasno biva v njeni hiši, dragocenosti iz srebra in dragocenosti iz zlata in oblačil, in vi jih boste nadeli na svoje sinove in na svoje hčere in boste oplenili Egipčane.«
