¹Ja Mooses vastas ning ütles: 'Aga kui nemad mind ei usu ja mu sõna ei kuula, vaid ütlevad: Issand ei ole ennast sulle ilmutanud?'

¹And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, Jehovah has not appeared to thee.

²Siis Issand küsis: 'Mis see on, mis sul käes on?' Ta vastas: 'Kepp.'

²And Jehovah said to him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A staff.

³Ja tema ütles: 'Viska see maha!' Ta viskas selle maha ja see muutus maoks. Ja Mooses põgenes selle eest.

³And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

⁴Ja Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Siruta oma käsi ja haara temal sabast,' - ja ta sirutas oma käe ning võttis temast kinni, ja see muutus ta pihus kepiks -

⁴And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand and take it by the tail -- and he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand --

⁵'et nad usuksid, et sulle on ennast ilmutanud Issand, nende vanemate Jumal, Aabrahami Jumal, Iisaki Jumal ja Jaakobi Jumal!'

⁵that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

⁶Ja Issand ütles temale veel: 'Pane oma käsi põue!' Ta pani oma käe põue ja tõmbas välja, ja vaata, käsi oli pidalitõvest valge nagu lumi.

⁶And Jehovah said moreover to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom, and took it out, and behold, his hand was leprous, as snow.

⁷Ja ta ütles: 'Pane oma käsi tagasi põue!' Ta pani oma käe põue ja tõmbas välja, ja vaata, see oli jälle nagu ta ihu.

⁷And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again, and took it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his flesh.

⁸'Kui nad sind ei usu ega kuula su sõna esimese imeteo põhjal, siis nad usuvad teise imeteo sõnumit.

⁸And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the other sign.

⁹Ja kui nad ka neid kahte imetegu ei usu ega kuula su sõna, siis võta Niiluse jõe vett ja vala kuivale maale! Vesi, mida sa Niiluse jõest võtad, muutub siis kuival maal vereks.'

⁹And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also those two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour [it] on the dry [land]; and the water that thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land].

¹⁰Aga Mooses ütles Issandale: 'Oh Issand, mina ei ole sõnakas mees, ei varemast ajast ega ka mitte sellest peale, kui sa oma sulasega oled rääkinud, sest mul on raskevõitu suu ja raskevõitu keel.'

¹⁰And Moses said to Jehovah, Ah Lord! I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken to thy servant, for I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue.

¹¹Siis Issand ütles temale: 'Kes on teinud inimesele suu, või kes teeb keeletu, kurdi, nägija või pimeda? Kas mitte mina, Issand?

¹¹And Jehovah said to him, Who gave man a mouth? or who maketh dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? [have] not I, Jehovah?

¹²Ja nüüd mine, ja mina olen abiks sinu suule ning õpetan sind, mida sa pead rääkima!'

¹²And now go, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.

¹³Aga ta ütles: 'Oh Issand, läkita, keda läkitad, ainult mitte mind!'

¹³And he said, Ah Lord! send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send.

¹⁴Siis Issanda viha süttis põlema Moosese vastu ja ta ütles: 'Eks ole leviit Aaron sinu vend? Ma tean, et ta räägib hästi; ja vaata, ta tulebki sulle vastu. Kui ta sind näeb, siis ta rõõmutseb südamest.

¹⁴Then the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also behold, he goeth out to meet thee; and when he seeth thee he will be glad in his heart.

¹⁵Sina pead temaga rääkima ja temale sõnad suhu panema, aga mina olen sinu suuga ja tema suuga, ja ma õpetan teid, mida te peate tegema.

¹⁵And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

¹⁶Tema rääkigu sinu asemel rahvaga ja see olgu nõnda: tema on sulle suuks ja sina oled temale Jumalaks.

¹⁶And he shall speak for thee unto the people; and it shall come to pass that he shall be to thee for a mouth, and thou shalt be to him for God.

¹⁷Ja võta kätte see kepp, millega sa imetegusid teed!'

¹⁷And thou shalt take this staff in thy hand, with which thou shalt do the signs.

¹⁸Siis Mooses läks ära ja tuli tagasi oma äia Jitro juurde ning ütles temale: 'Ma tahan minna tagasi oma vendade juurde, kes on Egiptuses, et näha, kas nad on veel elus!' Ja Jitro ütles Moosesele: 'Mine rahuga!'

¹⁸And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, that I may see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

¹⁹Issand ütles Moosesele Midjanis: 'Pöördu tagasi Egiptusesse, sest kõik need mehed, kes nõudsid su hinge, on surnud!'

¹⁹And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought thy life.

²⁰Ja Mooses võttis oma naise ja pojad ning pani need eesli selga ja läks tagasi Egiptusemaale; ja Mooses võttis Jumala kepi oma kätte.

²⁰And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them riding upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.

²¹Issand ütles Moosesele: 'Kui sa lähed ja tuled tagasi Egiptusesse, siis vaata, et sa teed vaarao ees kõik need imeteod, mis mina sinu kätte olen andnud. Aga mina teen ta südame kõvaks ja tema ei lase rahvast ära.

²¹And Jehovah said to Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put in thy hand. And I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

²²Kuid ütle vaaraole: Nõnda ütleb Issand: Iisrael on minu esmasündinud poeg.

²²And thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah: Israel is my son, my firstborn.

²³Ja ma ütlen sulle: Saada mu poeg ära, et ta mind teeniks! Aga kui sa keeldud teda saatmast, vaata, siis ma tapan su esmasündinud poja!'

²³And I say to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me. And if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.

²⁴Aga kui ta oli teel öömajale, tuli Issand temale vastu ja püüdis teda surmata.

²⁴And it came to pass on the way, in the inn, that Jehovah came upon him, and sought to slay him.

²⁵Siis Sippora võttis kivinoa ja lõikas ära oma poja eesnaha, puudutas sellega ta häbet ning ütles: 'Sa oled tõesti mu verepeigmees!'

²⁵Then Zipporah took a stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, A bloody husband indeed art thou to me!

²⁶Siis see jättis tema rahule; sel ajal öeldi verepeigmees ümberlõikamise tähenduses.

²⁶And he let him go. Then she said, A bloody husband -- because of the circumcision.

²⁷Ja Issand ütles Aaronile: 'Mine kõrbesse Moosesele vastu!' Ta läks ning kohtas teda Jumala mäe juures ja andis temale suud.

²⁷And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.

²⁸Ja Mooses tegi Aaronile teatavaks kõik Issanda sõnad, kes teda oli läkitanud, ja kõik imeteod, mis ta teda oli käskinud teha.

²⁸And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah who had sent him, and all the signs that he had commanded him.

²⁹Siis Mooses läks koos Aaroniga ja nad kogusid kokku kõik Iisraeli laste vanemad.

²⁹And Moses and Aaron went and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel;

³⁰Ja Aaron rääkis kõik need sõnad, mis Issand oli Moosesele rääkinud, ja ta tegi imetegusid rahva silma ees.

³⁰and Aaron spoke all the words that Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs before the eyes of the people.

³¹Ja rahvas uskus; kui nad kuulsid, et Issand oli tundnud muret Iisraeli laste pärast, ja et ta oli näinud nende viletsust, siis nad kummardasid ja heitsid silmili maha.

³¹And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
