¹Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

¹Mojzes pa je pasel čredo Jetra, tasta svojega, duhovnika madianskega. In žene čredo onkraj puščave in pride na goro Božjo, Horeb.

²And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

²In prikaže se mu angel GOSPODOV v plamenu ognja iz sredi grma; in pogleda, in glej, grm gori v ognju, pa grm ne zgori.

³And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

³In reče Mojzes: Stopim vendar tja in pogledam to veliko prikazen, zakaj grm ne zgori?

⁴And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

⁴Ko pa vidi GOSPOD, da stopa bliže, da bi pogledal, mu zakliče Bog iz sredi grma in veli: Mojzes, Mojzes! On pa reče: Tukaj sem.

⁵And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

⁵In veli: Ne bližaj se semkaj! Sezuj obuvalo z nog svojih, zakaj mesto, ki na njem stojiš, je sveta zemlja.

⁶Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

⁶In reče: Jaz sem Bog očeta tvojega, Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov in Bog Jakobov. In Mojzes si zastre obraz, kajti boji se ozreti v Boga.

⁷And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

⁷In GOSPOD reče: Videl sem, videl stisko ljudstva svojega, ki je v Egiptu, in njih vpitje pred njih priganjači sem slišal, kajti jaz poznam bolečine njegove.

⁸And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

⁸In stopil sem doli, da ga otmem iz rok Egipčanov in odpeljem iz one dežele v dobro in prostrano deželo, v deželo, v kateri teče mleko in med, v kraj Kanaancev in Hetejcev in Amorejcev in Ferizejcev in Hevejcev in Jebusejcev.

⁹Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

⁹In sedaj, glej, vpitje sinov Izraelovih je prišlo do mene, in videl sem tudi stisko, s katero jih stiskajo Egipčani.

¹⁰Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

¹⁰Sedaj torej pojdi, da te pošljem k Faraonu, in popelji moje ljudstvo, sinove Izraelove, iz Egipta.

¹¹And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

¹¹In reče Mojzes Bogu: Kdo sem jaz, da naj grem k Faraonu ter popeljem sinove Izraelove iz Egipta?

¹²And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

¹²On pa reče: Jaz bodem s teboj, in to ti bodi znamenje, da sem te jaz poslal: ko popelješ ljudstvo iz Egipta, boste služili Bogu na tejle gori.

¹³And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

¹³In Mojzes odgovori Bogu: Glej, ko pridem k sinovom Izraelovim in jim porečem: Bog očetov vaših me je poslal k vam, in mi oni reko: Katero je ime njegovo? kaj naj jim povem?

¹⁴And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

¹⁴In Bog reče Mojzesu: JAZ SEM, KI SEM. In reče: Tako boš rekel sinovom Izraelovim: JAZ SEM me je poslal k vam.

¹⁵And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

¹⁵In Bog reče dalje Mojzesu: Tako reci sinovom Izraelovim: GOSPOD, Bog očetov vaših, Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov in Bog Jakobov, me je poslal k vam. To je moje ime vekomaj in to je spomin moj od roda do roda.

¹⁶Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

¹⁶Pojdi in zberi starejšine Izraelove in jih govóri: GOSPOD, Bog očetov vaših, se mi je prikazal, Bog Abrahamov, Izakov in Jakobov, govoreč: Zares sem vas obiskal in videl, kako se vam godi v Egiptu,

¹⁷And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

¹⁷in rekel sem: Izvesti vas hočem iz stiske egiptovske v deželo Kanaancev in Hetejcev in Amorejcev in Ferizejcev in Hevejcev in Jebusejcev, v deželo, v kateri teče mleko in med.

¹⁸And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.

¹⁸In poslušali bodo tvoj glas. Potem pojdeš ti in starejšine izraelski h kralju egiptovskemu in mu porečete: GOSPOD, Bog Hebrejcev, nam je prišel naproti. In sedaj dovoli, da gremo tri dni hoda v puščavo in darujemo GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu.

¹⁹And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

¹⁹Pa jaz vem, da vam kralj egiptovski ne dovoli, da bi šli, tudi ne, če z mogočno roko pridem nadenj.

²⁰And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.

²⁰In iztegnem roko svojo in udarim Egipt z vsemi čudovitimi deli svojimi, katera bom storil sredi njega; in potem vas izpusti.

²¹And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty.

²¹In dam milost temu ljudstvu v očeh Egipčanov, in zgodi se, ko izidete, ne pojdete prazni:marveč vsaka žena bo izprosila od sosede in domačinke svoje srebrnih in zlatih dragotin ter oblačil, in naložite jih sinovom in hčeram svojim in oplenite Egipčane.

²²But every woman shall borrow of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.

²²marveč vsaka žena bo izprosila od sosede in domačinke svoje srebrnih in zlatih dragotin ter oblačil, in naložite jih sinovom in hčeram svojim in oplenite Egipčane.
