Otra Mozus 3

1 Un Mozus ganīja Jetrus, sava tēvoča, Midijanas priestera, avis un dzina tās avis aiz tuksneša un nāca pie Dieva kalna Horebā.

Moses was a shepherd, looking after the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the Midianite priest. He led the flock far into the wilderness until he came to God's mountain, Mount Horeb.

2 Un Tā Kunga eņģelis viņam parādījās uguns liesmā no ērkšķu krūma, un viņš skatījās un redzi, tas ērkšķu krūms dega ar uguni, bet tas ērkšķu krūms nesadega.

There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from inside a bush. Moses looked carefully and saw that though the bush was on fire, it wasn't being burned up.

3 Tad Mozus sacīja: es jel noiešu un apraudzīšu šo lielo parādīšanu, kādēļ tas ērkšķu krūms nesadeg.

“Let me go over and take a look,” Moses said to himself. “It's very odd to see a bush that's not burning up.”

4 Un Tas Kungs redzēja, ka tas gāja lūkot, un Dievs sauca uz to no tā ērkšķu krūma un sacīja: Mozu! Mozu! Un tas sacīja: redzi, še es esmu.

When the Lord saw that Moses was coming to take a look, God called to him from inside the bush, “Moses! Moses!” “I'm here,” Moses replied.

5 Un Viņš sacīja: nenāc klāt, novelc savas kurpes no kājām, jo tā vieta, kur tu stāvi, ir svēta zeme.

“Don't come any closer!” God told him. “Take off your sandals because you're standing on holy ground.”

6 Un Viņš sacīja: Es esmu tava tēva Dievs, Ābrahāma Dievs, Īzaka Dievs un Jēkaba Dievs. Un Mozus aizklāja savu vaigu, jo tas bijās Dievu uzlūkot.

Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses covered his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

7 Un Tas Kungs sacīja: Es tiešām esmu redzējis Savu ļaužu bēdas, kas ir Ēģiptes zemē un esmu dzirdējis viņu brēkšanu par saviem dzinējiem, jo viņu sāpes Es esmu ņēmis vērā.

“I'm completely aware of the misery of my people in Egypt,” the Lord told him. “I have heard them crying out because of their taskmasters. I know how much they're suffering.

8 Tādēļ Es esmu nolaidies, tos izpestīt no ēģiptiešu rokas un tos izvest no šās zemes uz labu un plašu zemi, uz zemi, kur piens un medus tek, uz Kanaāniešu, Hetiešu, Amoriešu, Fereziešu, Hiviešu un Jebusiešu vietu.

That's why I have come down to rescue them from Egyptian oppression and to take them up from that country to a productive, wide-open land—a land flowing with milk and honey—where currently the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites are living.

9 Un nu redzi, Israēla bērnu brēkšana ir nākusi Manā priekšā, un Es arī esmu redzējis to spaidīšanu, ar ko ēģiptieši tos spaida.

Listen! The cries of the Israelites have reached me, and I have seen how badly the Egyptians are mistreating them.

10 Tad nu ej, Es tevi sūtīšu pie Faraona, un izvedi Manus ļaudis, Israēla bērnus, no Ēģiptes zemes.

Now you must leave, because I'm sending you to Pharaoh to lead my people Israel out of Egypt.”

11 Tad Mozus sacīja uz Dievu: kas es esmu, ka man būs iet pie Faraona un izvest Israēla bērnus no Ēģiptes?

But Moses said to God, “Why me? I'm a nobody! I couldn't go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt!”

12 Un Viņš sacīja: Es būšu ar tevi: un šī būs tev tā zīme, ka Es tevi esmu sūtījis: kad tu tos ļaudis no Ēģiptes zemes būsi izvedis, tad jūs Dievam kalposiet uz šī kalna.

“I'll be with you,” the Lord replied, “and this will be the sign that it is really me who is sending you: when you have led the people out of Egypt, you will worship God at this very mountain.”

13 Un Mozus sacīja uz Dievu: redzi, kad es nākšu pie Israēla bērniem un uz tiem sacīšu: jūsu tēvu Dievs mani pie jums ir sūtījis, un tie uz mani saka, kāds ir Viņa vārds? Ko man tiem būs sacīt?

Then Moses said to God, “Look! If I were to go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ —then what should I tell them?”

14 Tad Dievs sacīja uz Mozu: Es Esmu, Kas Es Esmu. Un Viņš sacīja: tā tev būs sacīt Israēla bērniem: Es Esmu, Tas mani pie jums ir sūtījis.

God replied to Moses, “‘I Am’ is who I am. Tell the Israelites this: ‘I Am’ has sent me to you.”

15 Un Dievs vēl sacīja Mozum: tā tev būs sacīt Israēla bērniem: Tas Kungs, jūsu tēvu Dievs, Ābrahāma Dievs, Īzaka Dievs un Jēkaba Dievs, mani pie jums ir sūtījis; šis ir Mans vārds mūžīgi, un šī ir Mana piemiņa uz bērnu bērniem.

Then God said to Moses, “Tell 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, the name you are to call me for all generations to come.’

16 Ej un sapulcini Israēla vecajus un saki tiem: Tas Kungs, jūsu tēvu Dievs, man ir parādījies, Ābrahāma, Īzaka un Jēkaba Dievs, un sacījis: Es esmu nācis jūs raudzīt un to, kas jums darīts Ēģiptes zemē.

Go, and call all the elders of Israel to meet with you. Tell them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, has appeared to me—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He said, “I have paid close attention to what's been happening to you in Egypt.

17 Un Es esmu sacījis: Es jūs izvedīšu no ēģiptiešu spaidīšanas uz Kanaāniešu, Hetiešu, Amoriešu, Fereziešu, Hiviešu un Jebusiešu zemi, uz zemi, kur piens un medus tek.

I have decided to take you away from the misery you're having in Egypt and bring you to the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

18 Un kad tie klausīs tavai balsij, tad tev ar Israēla vecajiem būs iet pie Ēģiptes ķēniņa un uz to sacīt: Tas Kungs, tas Ebreju Dievs, mūs ir sastapis. Un nu lai ejam treju dienu gājumu tuksnesī, upurēt Tam Kungam, savam Dievam.

“The elders of Israel will accept what you say. Then you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews has revealed himself to us. So please let us go three days journey into the desert so we can offer sacrifices to the Lord our God there.’

19 Bet Es zinu, ka Ēģiptes ķēniņš jums neļaus iet, pat ne caur stipru roku.

But I know that the king of Egypt won't let you go unless he's forced to do so by a power stronger than him.

20 Tad Es izstiepšu Savu roku un sitīšu Ēģiptes zemi ar visiem Saviem brīnumiem, ko Es viņas vidū darīšu; tad viņš jūs atlaidīs.

So I will use my power to inflict on Egypt all the terrifying things that I'm about to do to them. After that he'll let you go.

21 Un Es tiem ļaudīm došu žēlastību ēģiptiešu priekšā, un kad jūs iziesiet, tad jūs neiziesiet tukši.

I will make the Egyptians treat you well as a people, so when you go you won't leave empty-handed.

22 Bet ikvienai sievai no savas kaimiņienes un no tās, kas dzīvo viņas namā, būs prasīt zelta un sudraba traukus un drēbes, tos jums būs likt uz saviem dēliem un savām meitām un ēģiptiešiem atņemt.

Every woman will ask her neighbor as well as any woman living in her house for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, and put them on your sons and daughters. In this way you will take the wealth of the Egyptians with you.”
