¹A Mojžiš odpovedal a riekol: Ale hľa, neuveria mi, a neposlúchnu môjho hlasu, pretože povedia: Neukázal sa ti Hospodin.

¹And Moses answereth and saith, `And, if they do not give credence to me, nor hearken to my voice, and say, Jehovah hath not appeared unto thee?`

²A Hospodin mu riekol: Čo je to v tvojej ruke? A on odpovedal: Palica.

²And Jehovah saith unto him, `What [is] this in thy hand?` and he saith, `A rod;`

³A riekol: Hoď ju na zem! A keď ju hodil na zem, obrátila sa na hada. A Mojžiš utekal pred ním.

³and He saith, `Cast it to the earth;` and he casteth it to the earth, and it becometh a serpent — and Moses fleeth from its presence.

⁴Ale Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Vystri svoju ruku a chyť ho za chvost. A vystrel svoju ruku a lapil ho. A obrátil sa v jeho ruke na palicu.

⁴And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Put forth thy hand, and lay hold on the tail of it;` and he putteth forth his hand, and layeth hold on it, and it becometh a rod in his hand —

⁵Aby vraj vraveli, že sa ti ukázal Hospodin, Bôh ich otcov, Bôh Abrahámov, Bôh Izákov a Bôh Jakobov.

⁵`— so that they believe that Jehovah, God of their fathers, hath appeared unto thee, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.`

⁶A ešte mu riekol Hospodin: Nože vlož svoju ruku za svoje ňádra! A vložil svoju ruku za svoje ňádra. A keď ju vyňal, tu hľa, jeho ruka bola malomocná, biela jako sneh.

⁶And Jehovah saith to him again, `Put in, I pray thee, thy hand into thy bosom;` and he putteth in his hand into his bosom, and he bringeth it out, and lo, his hand [is] leprous as snow;

⁷A riekol: Daj zase svoju ruku do svojich ňáder! A zase dal svoju ruku do svojich ňáder. A keď ju vyňal zo svojich ňáder, tu hľa, bola zase zdravá jako iné jeho telo.

⁷and He saith, `Put back thy hand unto thy bosom;` and he putteth back his hand unto his bosom, and he bringeth it out from his bosom, and lo, it hath turned back as his flesh —

⁸A bude, ak by ti neuverili a neposlúchli na hlas prvého znamenia, uveria na hlas druhého znamenia.

⁸`— and it hath come to pass, if they do not give credence to thee, and hearken not to the voice of the first sign, that they have given credence to the voice of the latter sign.

⁹A bude, ak by neuverili ani obom týmto znameniam a neposlúchli na tvoj hlas, vtedy naberieš vody z rieky a vyleješ na suchú zem. A voda, ktorú vezmeš z rieky, sa premení a obráti sa na suchej zemi na krv.

⁹`And it hath come to pass, if they do not give credence even to these two signs, nor hearken to thy voice, that thou hast taken of the waters of the River, and hast poured on the dry land, and the waters which thou takest from the River have been, yea, they have become — blood on the dry land.`

¹⁰A Mojžiš povedal Hospodinovi: Pozri, prosím, Pane! Ja nie som výmluvný človek ani pred týmto ani odvtedy, odkedy hovoríš so svojím služobníkom, lebo ja som ťažkých úst a ťažkého jazyka.

¹⁰And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `O, my Lord, I [am] not a man of words, either yesterday, or before, or since Thy speaking unto Thy servant, for I [am] slow of mouth, and slow of tongue.`

¹¹Na to mu riekol Hospodin: Ktože dal ústa človekovi alebo kto môže učiniť nemým alebo hluchým alebo vidiacim alebo slepým? Či azda nie ja Hospodin?

¹¹And Jehovah saith unto him, `Who appointed a mouth for man? or who appointeth the dumb, or deaf, or open, or blind? is it not I, Jehovah?

¹²A tak teraz iď, a ja budem s tvojimi ústami a vyučím ťa, čo máš hovoriť.

¹²and now, go, and I — I am with thy mouth, and have directed thee that which thou speakest;`

¹³A Mojžiš povedal: Pozri, prosím, Pane; pošli, prosím, toho, koho máš poslať.

¹³and he saith, `O, my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand Thou dost send.`

¹⁴Vtedy sa zanietil hnev Hospodinov na Mojžiša, a riekol: Či nie je Áron, Levita, tvoj brat? Viem, že on istotne bude hovoriť a tiež hľa, ide ti vústrety a keď ťa uvidí, bude sa radovať vo svojom srdci.

¹⁴And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Moses, and He saith, `Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I have known that he speaketh well, and also, lo, he is coming out to meet thee; when he hath seen thee, then he hath rejoiced in his heart,

¹⁵Budeš jemu hovoriť a vložíš slová do jeho úst, a ja budem s tvojimi ústami a s jeho ústami a naučím vás, čo máte robiť.

¹⁵and thou hast spoken unto him, and hast set the words in his mouth, and I — I am with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and have directed you that which ye do;

¹⁶A on bude za teba hovoriť ľudu, a bude tak, že on ti bude ústami a ty mu budeš Bohom.

¹⁶and he, he hath spoken for thee unto the people, and it hath come to pass, he — he is to thee for a mouth, and thou — thou art to him for God;

¹⁷A túto palicu si vezmeš do svojej ruky, ktorou budeš činiť tie znamenia.

¹⁷and this rod thou dost take in thy hand, with which thou doest the signs.`

¹⁸Vtedy išiel Mojžiš a navrátil sa k Jetrovi, svojmu svokrovi, a povedal mu: Nech, prosím, idem a navrátim sa ku svojim bratom, ktorí sú v Egypte, a pozriem, či ešte žijú. A Jetro povedal Mojžišovi: Iď v pokoji.

¹⁸And Moses goeth and turneth back unto Jethro his father-in-law, and saith to him, `Let me go, I pray thee, and I turn back unto my brethren who [are] in Egypt, and I see whether they are yet alive.` And Jethro saith to Moses, `Go in peace.`

¹⁹A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi v Madiansku: Idi, navráť sa do Egypta, lebo už pomreli všetci tí mužovia, ktorí hľadali tvoju dušu.

¹⁹And Jehovah saith unto Moses in Midian, `Go, turn back to Egypt, for all the men have died who seek thy life;`

²⁰A Mojžiš vzal svoju ženu i svojich synov, posadil ich na osla a vrátil sa do Egyptskej zeme. A Mojžiš vzal palicu Božiu do svojej ruky.

²⁰and Moses taketh his wife, and his sons, and causeth them to ride on the ass, and turneth back to the land of Egypt, and Moses taketh the rod of God in his hand.

²¹Potom riekol Hospodin Mojžišovi: Keď ideš, aby si sa vrátil do Egypta, hľaď, aby si všetky tie zázraky, ktoré som položil do tvojej ruky, učinil pred faraonom, a ja zatvrdím jeho srdce, a neprepustí ľudu.

²¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `In thy going to turn back to Egypt, see — all the wonders which I have put in thy hand — that thou hast done them before Pharaoh, and I — I strengthen his heart, and he doth not send the people away;

²²A povieš faraonovi: Takto hovorí Hospodin: Môj syn, môj prvorodený, je Izrael.

²²and thou hast said unto Pharaoh, Thus said Jehovah, My son, My first-born [is] Israel,

²³Povedal som ti: Prepusti môjho syna, aby mi slúžil. Ale si odoprel a nechcel si ho prepustiť. Preto hľa, zabijem tvojho syna, tvojho prvorodeného.

²³and I say unto thee, Send away My son, and he doth serve Me; and — thou dost refuse to send him away — lo, I am slaying thy son, thy first-born.`

²⁴A stalo sa na ceste, v nocľažišti, že sa s ním stretol Hospodin a hľadal ho zabiť.

²⁴And it cometh to pass in the way, in a lodging place, that Jehovah meeteth him, and seeketh to put him to death;

²⁵Vtedy vzala Cippora nôž, obrezala neobriezku svojho syna a vrhla ju k jeho nohám a riekla: Je isté, že si mi ženíchom krvi!

²⁵and Zipporah taketh a flint, and cutteth off the foreskin of her son, and causeth [it] to touch his feet, and saith, `Surely a bridegroom of blood [art] thou to me;`

²⁶A upustil od neho. Vtedy riekla: Ženích krvi, pre obriezky.

²⁶and He desisteth from him: then she said, `A bridegroom of blood,` in reference to the circumcision.

²⁷A Hospodin riekol Áronovi: Idi v ústrety Mojžišovi na púšť! A išiel a stretol sa s ním na vrchu Božom a bozkal ho.

²⁷And Jehovah saith unto Aaron, `Go to meet Moses into the wilderness;` and he goeth, and meeteth him in the mount of God, and kisseth him,

²⁸A Mojžiš vyrozprával Áronovi všetky slová Hospodinove, ktorý ho poslal, aj o všetkých znameniach, ktoré mu prikázal činiť.

²⁸and Moses declareth to Aaron all the words of Jehovah with which He hath sent him, and all the signs with which He hath charged him.

²⁹A tak išiel Mojžiš a Áron, a shromaždili všetkých starších zo synov Izraelových.

²⁹And Moses goeth — Aaron also — and they gather all the elders of the sons of Israel,

³⁰A Áron hovoril všetky slová, ktoré hovoril Hospodin Mojžišovi, a činil znamenia pred očami ľudu.

³⁰and Aaron speaketh all the words which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and doth the signs before the eyes of the people;

³¹A ľud uveril. A keď počuli, že Hospodin navštívil synov Izraelových a že videl ich trápenie, sklonili svoje hlavy a klaňali sa.

³¹and the people believe when they hear that Jehovah hath looked after the sons of Israel, and that He hath seen their affliction; and they bow and do obeisance.
