¹A Mojžiš pásol stádo Jetra, svojeho svokra, kňaza-kniežaťa Madianska. A zahnal pozvoľna stádo až za púšť a prišiel k vrchu Božiemu, k Horebu.

¹And Moses hath been feeding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he leadeth the flock behind the wilderness, and cometh in unto the mount of God, to Horeb;

²A ukázal sa mu anjel Hospodinov v plameni ohňa z prostredku kra. A videl, že hľa, ker horí ohňom, a ker nie je ztrávený od ohňa.

²and there appeareth unto him a messenger of Jehovah in a flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he seeth, and lo, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not consumed.

³A Mojžiš povedal: Nože nech idem ta a vidím toto veľké videnie, prečo nezhorí ker.

³And Moses saith, `Let me turn aside, I pray thee, and I see this great appearance; wherefore is the bush not burned?`

⁴A Hospodin videl, že odbočil, aby videl, a Bôh zavolal na neho z prostredku kra a riekol: Mojžišu, Mojžišu! A on odpovedal: Tu som.

⁴and Jehovah seeth that he hath turned aside to see, and God calleth unto him out of the midst of the bush, and saith, `Moses, Moses;` and he saith, `Here [am] I.`

⁵A riekol: Nepribližuj sa sem! Sozuj svoju obuv so svojich nôh, lebo miesto, na ktorom stojíš, je svätá zem.

⁵And He saith, `Come not near hither: cast thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place on which thou art standing is holy ground.`

⁶A riekol: Ja som Bôh tvojho otca, Bôh Abrahámov, Bôh Izákov a Bôh Jakobov. A Mojžiš zakryl svoju tvár, lebo sa bál, aby nehľadel na Boha.

⁶He saith also, `I [am] the God of thy father, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;` and Moses hideth his face, for he is afraid to look towards God.

⁷A Hospodin riekol: Istotne som videl trápenie svojho ľudu, ktorý je v Egypte, a počul som ich krik pre tých, ktorí ho honia, lebo znám jeho bolesti

⁷And Jehovah saith, `I have certainly seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and their cry I have heard, because of its exactors, for I have known its pains;

⁸a sostúpil som, aby som ho vytrhol z ruky Egypťanov a aby som ho vyviedol z tej zeme hore do zeme, dobrej a priestrannej, do zeme, oplývajúcej mliekom a medom, na miesto Kananeja, Heteja, Amoreja, Ferezeja, Heveja a Jebuzeja.

⁸and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey — unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

⁹A teraz hľa, krik synov Izraelových prišiel ku mne a videl som aj útisk, ktorým ich utiskujú Egypťania.

⁹`And now, lo, the cry of the sons of Israel hath come in unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them,

¹⁰Tak teraz poď a pošlem ťa k faraonovi, a vyveď môj ľud, synov Izraelových, z Egypta.

¹⁰and now, come, and I send thee unto Pharaoh, and bring thou out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.`

¹¹Ale Mojžiš povedal Bohu: Kto som ja, aby som išiel k faraonovi a aby som vyviedol synov Izraelových z Egypta?!

¹¹And Moses saith unto God, `Who [am] I, that I go unto Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?`

¹²A riekol: Však budem s tebou. A toto ti bude znamením, že som ťa ja poslal: keď vyvedieš ľud z Egypta, budete slúžiť Bohu na tomto vrchu.

¹²and He saith, `Because I am with thee, and this [is] to thee the sign that I have sent thee: in thy bringing out the people from Egypt — ye do serve God on this mount.`

¹³A Mojžiš povedal Bohu: Hľa, ja prijdem k synom Izraelovým a poviem im: Bôh vašich otcov ma poslal k vám. A keď mi povedia: Aké je jeho meno? Čo im poviem?

¹³And Moses saith unto God, `Lo, I am coming unto the sons of Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they have said to me, What [is] His name? what do I say unto them?`

¹⁴A Bôh riekol Mojžišovi: SOM, KTORÝ SOM. A ďalej riekol: Takto povieš synom Izraelovým: SOM ma poslal k vám.

¹⁴And God saith unto Moses, `I AM THAT WHICH I AM;` He saith also, `Thus dost thou say to the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.`

¹⁵A ešte riekol Bôh Mojžišovi: Takto povieš synom Izraelovým: Hospodin, Bôh vašich otcov, Bôh Abrahámov, Bôh Izákov a Bôh Jakobov, ma poslal k vám. Toto je moje meno na veky, a to je moja pamiatka z pokolenia na pokolenie.

¹⁵And God saith again unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this [is] My name — to the age, and this My memorial, to generation — generation.

¹⁶Iď a shromaždíš starších Izraelových a povieš im: Hospodin, Bôh vašich otcov, sa mi ukázal, Bôh Abrahámov, Izákov a Jakobov, a riekol: Istotne vás navštívim i to, čo sa vám vykonalo v Egypte.

¹⁶`Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;

¹⁷A riekol som: Vyvediem vás z egyptského trápenia hore do zeme Kananeja, Heteja, Amoreja, Ferezeja, Heveja a Jebuzeja, do zeme, ktorá oplýva mliekom a medom.

¹⁷and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, unto a land flowing [with] milk and honey.

¹⁸A poslúchnu na tvoj hlas. A vojdeš ty i starší Izraelovi k egyptskému kráľovi a poviete mu: Hospodin, Bôh Hebrejov, sa stretol s nami, a tak teraz nech ideme, prosíme, cesty troch dní na púšť, aby sme obetovali Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu.

¹⁸`And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

¹⁹No, ja viem, že egyptský kráľ vám nedá, aby ste išli, ale keď nie, istotne potom, prinútený silnou rukou.

¹⁹`And I — I have known that the king of Egypt doth not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand,

²⁰A preto vystriem svoju ruku a budem biť Egypt všelijakými svojimi divy, ktoré učiním prostred neho. A potom vás prepustí.

²⁰and I have put forth My hand, and have smitten Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst — and afterwards he doth send you away.

²¹A dám tomuto ľudu milosť v očiach Egypťanov, a bude, keď pojdete, nepojdete prázdni.

²¹`And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it hath come to pass, when ye go, ye go not empty;

²²Ale žena vyžiada od svojej súsedy aj od tej, ktorá pohostíni v jej dome, strieborné klenoty a zlaté klenoty i rúcha, a pokladiete to na svojich synov a na svoje dcéry a olúpite Egypťanov.

²²and [every] woman hath asked from her neighbour, and from her who is sojourning in her house, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and ye have put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.`
