¹And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

¹Potom prišli, Mojžiš a Áron, a riekli faraonovi: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Prepusti môj ľud, aby mi slávil slávnosť na púšti.

²And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.

²Ale faraon odpovedal: Kto je Hospodin, aby som poslúchol jeho hlas a prepustil Izraela? Neznám Hospodina ani neprepustím Izraela.

³And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

³A riekli: Bôh Hebrejov sa stretol s nami. Nože nech ideme, prosíme, tri dni cesty na púšť a obetujeme Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, aby nedopustil na nás moru alebo meča.

⁴And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.

⁴A egyptský kráľ im povedal: Prečo vy, Mojžišu a Árone, chcete uvoľniť ten ľud od jeho prác? Iďte ku svojim robotám!

⁵And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

⁵A faraon povedal ešte: Hľa, už teraz je mnoho ľudu v zemi, a zdržujete ich od ich robôt.

⁶And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

⁶A faraon prikázal toho dňa pohoničom, ktorí boli nad ľudom, a jeho úradníkom a povedal:

⁷Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

⁷Nebudete viacej dávať ľudu slamy na robenie tehiel ako doteraz. Nech idú sami a sbierajú si slamu.

⁸And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

⁸Ale ten istý počet tehiel, ktorý robili dosiaľ, im naložte i ďalej, neujmete ničoho z neho, lebo sú leniví a zaháľajú a preto kričia, poďme vraj a obetujme svojmu Bohu!

⁹Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard vain words.

⁹Nech ťažko dolieha robota na tých mužov, a nech pracujú v nej, aby nedbali na falošné slová.

¹⁰And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.

¹⁰A tak vyšli pohoniči ľudu a jeho úradníci a vraveli ľudu: Takto hovorí faraon: Nebudem vám dávať slamy.

¹¹Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.

¹¹Iďte sami, berte si slamu odtiaľ, kde najdete, lebo nič sa neujme z vašej práce.

¹²So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.

¹²Vtedy sa rozbehol ľud po celej Egyptskej zemi, aby trhal strnište miesto slamy.

¹³And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.

¹³A pohoniči ich nútili a vraveli: Vykonajte svoju prácu, každý deň to, čo ste povinní, jako vtedy, keď bolo slamy.

¹⁴And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?

¹⁴A úradníci synov Izraelových, ktorých ustanovili nad nimi pohoniči faraonovi, boli bití, a vraveli im: Prečo ste nevykonali svojej úlohy, ani včera ani dnes, tak aby ste boli spravili toľko tehiel ako driev?

¹⁵Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?

¹⁵A úradníci synov Izraelových prišli a kričali k faraonovi a vraveli: Prečo tak robíš svojim služobníkom?

¹⁶There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.

¹⁶Slamy sa nedáva svojim služobníkom a hovoria nám: Robte tehly! A hľa, tvoji služobníci sú bití, a tvoj ľud hreší.

¹⁷But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.

¹⁷A on povedal: Zaháľate, zaháľate, preto hovoríte: Poďme, obetujme Hospodinovi!

¹⁸Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.

¹⁸A tak teraz iďte, robte! A slamy sa vám nebude dávať, ale uložený počet tehiel dáte.

¹⁹And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.

¹⁹A úradníci synov Izraelových videli, že je s nimi zle, pretože im bolo povedané: Neujmete z počtu svojich tehiel, ktoré máte vystanoviť v ktorý deň.

²⁰And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

²⁰A stretli Mojžiša a Árona, ktorí im stáli oproti, keď vychádzali od faraona,

²¹And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.

²¹a povedali im: Nech pohliadne na vás Hospodin a súdi, lebo ste zosmradili náš čuch v očiach faraonových a v očiach jeho služobníkov a dali ste meč do ich ruky, aby nás pobili.

²²And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?

²²A Mojžiš sa navrátil k Hospodinovi a povedal: Pane, prečo si učinil tak zle tomuto ľudu? Prečo si ma poslal?

²³For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.

²³Lebo odvtedy, odkedy som vošiel k faraonovi, aby som s ním hovoril v tvojom mene, robí zle tomuto ľudu, a vytrhnúť nevytrhol si svojho ľudu z jeho moci.
