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 to Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his bondmen, that I might do these my signs in their midst,

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 mightest tell in the ears of thy son and thy son's son what I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; and ye shall 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 came to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: How long dost 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.

⁴For, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, I will to-morrow bring locusts into thy borders;

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 land, so that ye will not be able to see the land; and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which ye have remaining from the hail, and shall eat every tree which ye have growing in 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 they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy bondmen, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which 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 bondmen said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God: dost thou not yet know that Egypt is ruined?

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 to Pharaoh. And he said to them, Go, serve Jehovah your God. 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 have a feast of 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 to them, Let Jehovah be so with you, as I let you go, and your little ones: see that 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 it is that ye have desired. 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 to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up over the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land -- 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 out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. 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; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them will 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.

¹⁵And they covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left; and there remained not any green thing on the trees, and in the herbs of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.

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

¹⁶And Pharaoh called 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.

¹⁷And now, forgive, I pray you, my sin only this time, and intreat 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 intreated 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 a very powerful west wind, which took away the locusts, and drove them into the Red Sea: there remained not one locust in all the borders of Egypt.

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

²⁰And Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, 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 to Moses, Stretch out thy hand toward the heavens, that there may be darkness in the land of Egypt -- so that one may feel darkness.

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

²²And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens; and there was a thick darkness throughout 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 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 Moses and said, Go, serve Jehovah; only, let your flocks and your herds remain; 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 give also sacrifices and burnt-offerings into our hands, that we may sacrifice to 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 must go with us: there shall not a hoof be left behind; for we must take thereof to serve Jehovah our God; and we do not know with what we must serve Jehovah, until we come there.

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

²⁷But Jehovah made Pharaoh's heart stubborn, 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 to 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 rightly: I will see thy face again no more!
