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 tended the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock behind the wilderness, and came to the mountain 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 the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a thorn-bush: and he looked, and behold, the thorn-bush burned with fire, and the thorn-bush was not being consumed.

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

³And Moses said, Let me now turn aside and see this great sight, why the thorn-bush is not burnt.

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 saw that he turned aside to see, and God called to him out of the midst of the thorn-bush and said, Moses, Moses! And he said, Here am I.

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

⁵And he said, Draw not nigh hither: loose thy sandals from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest 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.

⁶And he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at 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 said, I have seen assuredly the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and their cry have I heard on account of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.

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 am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good and spacious land, unto a land flowing with milk and honey, unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

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

⁹And now behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me; and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

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

¹⁰And now come, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children 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 said to God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of 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 said, For I will be with thee; and this shall be the sign to thee that I have sent thee: when thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.

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 said to God, Behold, [when] I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say, What is his name? what shall 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 said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM. And he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children 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 said moreover to Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel: Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you. This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

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.

¹⁶Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Jehovah the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying, I have indeed visited you, and [seen] that which is done unto 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 have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt, unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, 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.

¹⁸And they shall hearken to thy voice. And thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

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

¹⁹But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a powerful hand.

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

²⁰And I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof; and after that he will let you go.

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

²¹And I will give this people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it shall come to pass, when ye go out, that ye shall not go out 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.

²²but every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is the inmate of her house, utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing; and ye shall put [them] on your sons and on your daughters, and shall spoil the Egyptians.
