¹A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Vojdi k faraonovi, lebo ja som zatvrdil jeho srdce i srdce jeho služobníkov, aby som učinil tieto svoje znamenia v jeho strede,

¹And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them,

²a aby si rozprával v uši svojho syna a svojho vnuka to, čo som vykonal v Egypte, a moje znamenia, ktoré som učinil na nich, aby ste vedeli, že ja som Hospodin.

²and that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought upon Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know that I am Jehovah.

³A tak vošiel Mojžiš a Áron k faraonovi, a riekli mu: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Hebrejov: Dokedy sa nebudeš chcieť pokoriť predo mnou? Prepusti môj ľud, aby mi slúžili!

³And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

⁴Lebo ak nebudeš chcieť prepustiť môj ľud, hľa, zajtra dovediem kobylky na tvoju krajinu.

⁴Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to-morrow will I bring locusts into thy border:

⁵A pokryjú povrch zeme, takže nebude možné vidieť zem, a požerú ostatné, čo uniklo, to, čo vám pozostalo po ľadovci, a obžerú všetky stromy, ktoré vám pučia na poli.

⁵and they shall cover the face of the earth, so that one shall not be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:

⁶A naplnia sa tvoje domy a domy všetkých tvojich služobníkov a domy všetkých Egypťanov, čoho nevideli tvoji otcovia ani otcovia tvojich otcov odo dňa, od ktorého len boli kedy ktorí alebo sú na zemi, až do tohoto dňa. A obrátiac sa vyšiel od faraona.

⁶and thy houses shall be filled, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; as neither thy fathers nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned, and went out from Pharaoh.

⁷A služobníci faraonovi povedali jemu, faraonovi: Dokedy nám bude tento osídlom? Prepusti tých ľudí, aby slúžili Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu. Či ešte nevieš, že zhynul Egypt?

⁷And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

⁸A tak bol vrátený Mojžiš a Áron k faraonovi, ktorý im povedal: Iďte, slúžte Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu! Kto sú to všetci, ktorí pojdú?

⁸And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve Jehovah your God; but who are they that shall go?

⁹A Mojžiš riekol: Všetci pojdeme, mladí i starí, naši synovia i naše dcéry; so svojím drobným stádom a so svojím dobytkom pojdeme, lebo máme slávnosť Hospodinovu.

⁹And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old; with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto Jehovah.

¹⁰A on im povedal: Nech je tak Hospodin s vami, jako vás ja prepustím i vaše drobné deti. Hľaďte, lebo je zlé pred vašou tvárou.

¹⁰And he said unto them, So be Jehovah with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.

¹¹Nie tak, ale nože iďte vy mužovia samotní a slúžte Hospodinovi; lebo veď to hľadáte. A zahnali ich od tvári faraonovej.

¹¹Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve Jehovah; for that is what ye desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

¹²A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Vystri svoju ruku na Egyptskú zem pre kobylky, aby vyšly na Egyptskú zem a požerú všetku bylinu zeme, všetko, čo ešte zanechal ľadovec.

¹²And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.

¹³Vtedy vztiahol Mojžiš svoju palicu na Egyptskú zem, a Hospodin hnal východný vietor na zem celý ten deň i celú noc. A keď bolo ráno, doniesol východný vietor kobylky.

¹³And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all the night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

¹⁴A kobylky vyšly na celú zem Egyptskú a spustily sa na všetky kraje Egypta v náramne veľkom množstve. Nebolo nikdy predtým takého množstva kobyliek ako to, ani po nich viacej takého nebude.

¹⁴And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the borders of Egypt; very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.

¹⁵A pokryly povrch celej zeme, takže sa zatemnila zem, a požraly všetku bylinu zeme i všetko ovocie stromov, ktoré bol zanechal ľadovec, a nepozostalo ničoho zeleného ani na stromoch ani na poľných bylinách v celej zemi Egyptskej.

¹⁵For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing, either tree or herb of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

¹⁶Vtedy sa ponáhľal faraon zavolať Mojžiša a Árona a povedal: Zhrešil som proti Hospodinovi, vášmu Bohu, i proti vám.

¹⁶Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you.

¹⁷A tak teraz odpusť, prosím, môj hriech už len tento raz, a modlite sa Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, žeby odstránil odo mňa len ešte túto smrť.

¹⁷Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and entreat Jehovah your God, that he may take away from me this death only.

¹⁸A vyšiel od faraona a modlil sa Hospodinovi.

¹⁸And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated Jehovah.

¹⁹A Hospodin obrátil západný vietor, od mora, veľmi silný, ktorý odniesol kobylky a vrhol ich do Červeného mora. Nezostalo ani jedinej kobylky vo všetkých krajoch Egypta.

¹⁹And Jehovah turned an exceeding strong west wind, which took up the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the border of Egypt.

²⁰Ale Hospodin zatvrdil srdce faraonovo, a neprepustil synov Izraelových.

²⁰But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.

²¹A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Vystri svoju ruku k nebesiam, a bude taká tma na Egyptskej zemi, že ju budú môcť nahmatať.

²¹And Jehovah said unto Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

²²Vtedy vystrel Mojžiš svoju ruku k nebesiam, a povstala hustá tma po celej zemi Egyptskej, ktorá trvala tri dni.

²²And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;

²³Nevideli jeden druhého, ani nepovstal nikto zo svojho miesta ani sa nepohol za tri dni, ale všetci synovia Izraelovi mali svetlo vo svojich bydliskách.

²³they saw not one another, neither rose any one from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

²⁴Tu zavolal faraon Mojžiša a povedal: Iďte, slúžte Hospodinovi, len svoje drobné stádo a svoj dobytok zanechajte tu. I vaše deti nech idú a vami!

²⁴And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve Jehovah; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.

²⁵Ale Mojžiš riekol: Nie, ale i sám dáš bitné obeti a zápaly do našej ruky, aby sme obetovali Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu.

²⁵And Moses said, Thou must also give into our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, that we may sacrifice unto Jehovah our God.

²⁶Aj náš dobytok pojde s nami. Nezostane tu ani kopyta, lebo z toho vezmeme, aby sme slúžili Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu. A my ani nevieme, čím budeme slúžiť Hospodinovi, dokiaľ ta neprijdeme.

²⁶Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind: for thereof must we take to serve Jehovah our God; and we know not with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come thither.

²⁷Ale Hospodin zatvrdil srdce faraonovo, a nechcel ich prepustiť.

²⁷But Jehovah hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.

²⁸A faraon mu povedal: Idi odo mňa! Chráň sa, aby si viacej nevidel mojej tvári. Lebo toho dňa, ktorého by si uvidel moju tvár, zomrieš.

²⁸And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in the day thou seest my face thou shalt die.

²⁹Na to odpovedal Mojžiš: Pravdu si povedal: neuvidím viacej tvojej tvári.

²⁹And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well. I will see thy face again no more.
