¹Potom prišli, Mojžiš a Áron, a riekli faraonovi: Takto hovorí Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov: Prepusti môj ľud, aby mi slávil slávnosť na púšti.

¹And afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said unto Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

²Ale faraon odpovedal: Kto je Hospodin, aby som poslúchol jeho hlas a prepustil Izraela? Neznám Hospodina ani neprepustím Izraela.

²And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto his voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go.

³A riekli: Bôh Hebrejov sa stretol s nami. Nože nech ideme, prosíme, tri dni cesty na púšť a obetujeme Hospodinovi, svojmu Bohu, aby nedopustil na nás moru alebo meča.

³And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice unto Jehovah our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

⁴A egyptský kráľ im povedal: Prečo vy, Mojžišu a Árone, chcete uvoľniť ten ľud od jeho prác? Iďte ku svojim robotám!

⁴And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, loose the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.

⁵A faraon povedal ešte: Hľa, už teraz je mnoho ľudu v zemi, a zdržujete ich od ich robôt.

⁵And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land are now many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.

⁶A faraon prikázal toho dňa pohoničom, ktorí boli nad ľudom, a jeho úradníkom a povedal:

⁶And the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,

⁷Nebudete viacej dávať ľudu slamy na robenie tehiel ako doteraz. Nech idú sami a sbierajú si slamu.

⁷Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.

⁸Ale ten istý počet tehiel, ktorý robili dosiaľ, im naložte i ďalej, neujmete ničoho z neho, lebo sú leniví a zaháľajú a preto kričia, poďme vraj a obetujme svojmu Bohu!

⁸And the number of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish aught thereof: for they are idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

⁹Nech ťažko dolieha robota na tých mužov, a nech pracujú v nej, aby nedbali na falošné slová.

⁹Let heavier work be laid upon the men, that they may labor therein; and let them not regard lying words.

¹⁰A tak vyšli pohoniči ľudu a jeho úradníci a vraveli ľudu: Takto hovorí faraon: Nebudem vám dávať slamy.

¹⁰And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.

¹¹Iďte sami, berte si slamu odtiaľ, kde najdete, lebo nič sa neujme z vašej práce.

¹¹Go yourselves, get you straw where ye can find it: for nought of your work shall be diminished.

¹²Vtedy sa rozbehol ľud po celej Egyptskej zemi, aby trhal strnište miesto slamy.

¹²So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.

¹³A pohoniči ich nútili a vraveli: Vykonajte svoju prácu, každý deň to, čo ste povinní, jako vtedy, keď bolo slamy.

¹³And the taskmasters were urgent saying, Fulfil your works, [your] daily tasks, as when there was straw.

¹⁴A úradníci synov Izraelových, ktorých ustanovili nad nimi pohoniči faraonovi, boli bití, a vraveli im: Prečo ste nevykonali svojej úlohy, ani včera ani dnes, tak aby ste boli spravili toľko tehiel ako driev?

¹⁴And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task both yesterday and to-day, in making brick as heretofore?

¹⁵A úradníci synov Izraelových prišli a kričali k faraonovi a vraveli: Prečo tak robíš svojim služobníkom?

¹⁵Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?

¹⁶Slamy sa nedáva svojim služobníkom a hovoria nám: Robte tehly! A hľa, tvoji služobníci sú bití, a tvoj ľud hreší.

¹⁶There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault it in thine own people.

¹⁷A on povedal: Zaháľate, zaháľate, preto hovoríte: Poďme, obetujme Hospodinovi!

¹⁷But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and sacrifice to Jehovah.

¹⁸A tak teraz iďte, robte! A slamy sa vám nebude dávať, ale uložený počet tehiel dáte.

¹⁸Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the number of bricks.

¹⁹A úradníci synov Izraelových videli, že je s nimi zle, pretože im bolo povedané: Neujmete z počtu svojich tehiel, ktoré máte vystanoviť v ktorý deň.

¹⁹And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, when it was said, Ye shall not diminish aught from your bricks, [your] daily tasks.

²⁰A stretli Mojžiša a Árona, ktorí im stáli oproti, keď vychádzali od faraona,

²⁰And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:

²¹a povedali im: Nech pohliadne na vás Hospodin a súdi, lebo ste zosmradili náš čuch v očiach faraonových a v očiach jeho služobníkov a dali ste meč do ich ruky, aby nás pobili.

²¹and they said unto them, Jehovah look upon you, and judge: because ye have made our savor to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.

²²A Mojžiš sa navrátil k Hospodinovi a povedal: Pane, prečo si učinil tak zle tomuto ľudu? Prečo si ma poslal?

²²And Moses returned unto Jehovah, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou dealt ill with this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?

²³Lebo odvtedy, odkedy som vošiel k faraonovi, aby som s ním hovoril v tvojom mene, robí zle tomuto ľudu, a vytrhnúť nevytrhol si svojho ľudu z jeho moci.

²³For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath dealt ill with this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
