Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not listen to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to you), what shall I say to them?
Mojzes je odgovoril in rekel: »Toda, glej, ne bodo mi verjeli niti prisluhnili mojemu glasu, kajti rekli bodo: › Gospod se ti ni prikazal.‹«
2 And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in your hand? and he said, A rod.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Kaj je to v tvoji roki?« Rekel je: »Palica.«
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground: and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it.
Rekel je: »Vrzi jo na tla.« Vrgel jo je na tla in ta je postala kača in Mojzes je pobegnil pred njo.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Iztegni svojo roko in jo primi za rep.« Iztegnil je svojo roko in jo ujel in v njegovi roki je postala palica.
5 and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe you, that the God of your fathers has appeared to you, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
»Da bodo oni lahko verjeli, da se ti je prikazal Gospod, Bog njihovih očetov, Bog Abrahama, Bog Izaka in Bog Jakoba.«
6 And the Lord said again to him, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.
Gospod mu je nadalje rekel: »Sedaj daj svojo roko v svoje naročje.« Svojo roko je položil v svoje naročje, ko pa jo je izvlekel, glej, je bila njegova roka gobava kakor sneg.
7 And he said again, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of his [other] flesh.
Rekel je: »Svojo roko ponovno daj v svoje naročje.« In ponovno je svojo roko položil v svoje naročje in izvlekel jo je iz svojega naročja in glej, ponovno je bila spremenjena kakor drugo njegovo meso.
8 And if they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you [because] of the voice of the second sign.
»Zgodilo se bo, če ti ne bodo verjeli niti prisluhnili glasu prvega znamenja, da bodo verjeli glasu zadnjega znamenja.
9 And it shall come to pass if they will not believe you for these two signs, and will not listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which you shall take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.
Zgodilo se bo, če ne bodo verjeli tudi tema dvema znamenjema niti prisluhnili tvojemu glasu, da boš iz reke zajel vodo in jo izlil na suho zemljo in voda, ki jo zajameš iz reke, bo na suhih tleh postala kri.«
10 And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that you have begun to speak to your servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
Mojzes je Gospodu rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, jaz nisem zgovoren, niti poprej niti odkar si spregovoril svojemu služabniku, temveč sem počasen za govorjenje in počasnega jezika.«
11 And the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?
Gospod mu je rekel: »Kdo je naredil človekova usta? Ali kdo naredi nemega ali gluhega ali da vidi ali slepega? Ali ne jaz, Gospod?
12 And now go and I will open your mouth, and will instruct you in what you shall say.
Sedaj torej pojdi in jaz bom s tvojimi usti in te učil kaj boš govoril.«
13 And Moses said, I pray you, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom you shall send.
Rekel je: »Oh moj Gospod, pošlji, prosim te, po roki tistega, ki ga ti hočeš poslati.«
14 And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Behold! is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he will surely speak to you; and, behold, he will come forth to meet you, and beholding you he will rejoice within himself.
Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Mojzesa in rekel je: » Mar ni Lévijevec Aron tvoj brat? Vem, da lahko dobro govori. In tudi, glej, prihaja, da te sreča in ko te zagleda, bo v svojem srcu vesel.
15 And you shall speak to him; and you shall put my words into his mouth, and I will open your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you shall do.
Ti mu boš govoril in v njegova usta polagal besede in jaz bom s tvojimi usti in z njegovimi usti in vaju učil, kaj bosta storila.
16 And he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be for him in things pertaining to God.
On bo tvoj govornik ljudstvu in on bo, celó on bo tebi namesto ust in ti boš njemu namesto Boga.
17 And this rod that was turned into a serpent you shall take in your hand, wherewith you shall work miracles.
In v svojo roko boš vzel to palico, s katero boš delal znamenja.«
18 And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.
Mojzes je odšel, se vrnil k svojemu tastu Jitru in mu rekel: »Pusti me iti, prosim te in se vrniti k mojim bratom, ki so v Egiptu in videti ali so še živi.« Jitro je Mojzesu rekel: »Pojdi v miru.«
19 And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought your life are dead.
Gospod je v Midjánu rekel Mojzesu: »Pojdi, vrni se v Egipt, kajti vsi ljudje, ki so ti stregli po življenju, so mrtvi.«
20 And Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from God in his hand.
Mojzes je vzel svojo ženo in svoja sinova in jih posadil na osla in se vrnil v egiptovsko deželo in Mojzes je v svojo roko vzel Božjo palico.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, When you go and return to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged you with, you shall work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Ko greš, da se vrneš v Egipt, glej, da boš pred faraonom storil vse te čudeže, ki sem jih položil v tvojo roko, toda jaz bom zakrknil njegovo srce, da ljudstvu ne bo dovolil oditi.
22 And you shall say to Pharao, These things says the Lord, Israel [is] my firstborn.
Faraonu boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izrael je moj sin, celo moj prvorojenec‹
23 And I said to you, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if you will not send them away, see, I will kill your firstborn son.
in jaz ti pravim: ›dovoli mojemu sinu oditi, da mi bo lahko služil. Če pa mu boš odklonil oditi, glej, bom ubil tvojega sina, celó tvojega prvorojenca.‹«
24 And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to kill him.
Pripetilo se je po poti v gostišče, da ga je srečal Gospod in si prizadeval, da ga ubije.
25 and Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:
Tedaj je Cipóra vzela oster kamen in odrezala prednjo kožico svojega sina in jo vrgla k njegovim stopalom ter rekla: »Zagotovo si mi krvav soprog.«
26 and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.
Tako ga je pustil oditi. Potem je rekla: »Krvav soprog si zaradi obreze.«
27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses; and he went and met him in the mount of God, and they kissed each other.
Gospod je rekel Aronu: »Pojdi v divjino, da srečaš Mojzesa.« Ta je odšel in ga srečal na gori Boga ter ga poljubil.
28 And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.
Mojzes je povedal Aronu vse besede Gospoda, ki ga je poslal in vsa znamenja, ki mu jih je zapovedal.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.
Mojzes in Aron sta odšla ter zbrala skupaj vse starešine Izraelovih otrok
30 And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.
in Aron je govoril vse besede, ki jih je Gospod govoril Mojzesu in v očeh ljudstva storil znamenja.
31 and the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.
Ljudje so verovali in ko so slišali, da je Gospod obiskal Izraelove otroke in da je pogledal na njihovo stisko, potem so sklonili svoje glave in oboževali.
