¹A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Hľaď, dal som ťa faraonovi za Boha, a Áron, tvoj brat, bude tvojím prorokom.

¹And Jehovah said to Moses, See, I have made thee God to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.

²Ty budeš hovoriť všetko, čo ti rozkážem, a Áron, tvoj brat bude hovoriť faraonovi, aby prepustil synov Izraelových zo svojej zeme.

²Thou shalt speak all that I command thee; and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

³Ale ja zatvrdím srdce faraonovo a budem množiť svoje znamenia a svoje zázraky v Egyptskej zemi.

³And I will render Pharaoh's heart obdurate, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.

⁴Preto vás neposlúchne faraon, a ja položím svoju ruku na Egypt a vyvediem svoje vojská, svoj ľud, synov Izraelových, z Egyptskej zeme s veľkými súdy.

⁴And Pharaoh will not hearken unto you; and I will lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth my hosts, my people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.

⁵A zvedia Egypťania, že ja som Hospodin, keď vystriem svoju ruku na Egypt a vyvediem synov Izraelových z ich stredu.

⁵And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

⁶A Mojžiš a Áron učinili tak, ako im prikázal Hospodin, tak učinili.

⁶And Moses and Aaron did as Jehovah had commanded them: so did they.

⁷A Mojžišovi bolo osemdesiat rokov a Áronovi osemdesiattri rokov, keď hovorili faraonovi.

⁷And Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

⁸A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi a Áronovi:

⁸And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

⁹Keď vám bude hovoriť faraon a povie: Ukážte svoj zázrak! vtedy povieš Áronovi: Vezmi svoju palicu a hoď ju pred faraonom, a obráti sa na hada.

⁹When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Do a miracle for yourselves, -- then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy staff and cast [it] before Pharaoh -- it will become a serpent.

¹⁰A tak prišiel Mojžiš a Áron k faraonovi a učinil tak, ako prikázal Hospodin. Áron hodil svoju palicu pred faraonom a pred jeho služobníkmi, a obrátila sa na hada.

¹⁰And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh, and before his bondmen, and it became a serpent.

¹¹Vtedy povolal i faraon mudrcov a čarodejníkov, a urobili tak aj oni, vedomci Egypta, svojimi kúzlami:

¹¹And Pharaoh also called the sages and the sorcerers; and they too, the scribes of Egypt, did so with their enchantments:

¹²hodili každý svoju palicu, a tiež sa obrátily na hadov. Ale palica Áronova pohltila ich palice.

¹²they cast down every man his staff, and they became serpents; but Aaron's staff swallowed up their staves.

¹³No srdce faraonovo sa posilnilo, a neposlúchol ich, tak ako hovoril Hospodin.

¹³And Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, and he hearkened not to them, as Jehovah had said.

¹⁴A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Oťaželo tvrdé srdce faraonovo, nechce prepustiť ľud.

¹⁴And Jehovah said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened: he refuseth to let the people go.

¹⁵Idi k faraonovi ráno; hľa, vyjde k vode, a postavíš sa oproti nemu na brehu rieky a palicu, ktorá sa bola obrátila na hada, vezmeš do svojej ruky.

¹⁵Go unto Pharaoh in the morning -- behold, he will go out unto the water -- and take thy stand by the bank of the river in front of him; and take in thy hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.

¹⁶A povieš mu: Hospodin, Bôh Hebrejov, ma poslal k tebe, aby som ti povedal: Prepusti môj ľud, aby mi slúžili na púšti. Ale hľa, neposlúchol si až doteraz.

¹⁶And say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has sent me to thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness; but behold, hitherto thou hast not hearkened.

¹⁷Takto hovorí Hospodin: Po tomto poznáš, že ja som Hospodin: hľa, uderím palicou, ktorá je v mojej ruke, na vody, ktoré sú v rieke, a obrátia sa na krv.

¹⁷Thus saith Jehovah: In this shalt thou know that I am Jehovah -- behold, I will smite with the staff that is in my hand upon the water which is in the river, and it shall be turned into blood.

¹⁸A ryby, ktoré sú v rieke, pomrú, a rieka sa zosmradí, a bude sa hnusiť Egypťanom piť vodu z rieky.

¹⁸And the fish that is in the river shall die; and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink the water out of the river.

¹⁹Potom riekol Hospodin Mojžišovi: Povedz Áronovi: Vezmi svoju palicu a vystri svoju ruku na vody Egypťanov, na ich rieky, na ich potoky a na ich jazerá i na všetky nádrže ich vôd, a obrátia sa na krv, a bude krv po celej zemi Egyptskej ako v drevených tak i v kamenných nádobách.

¹⁹And Jehovah said to Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy staff, and stretch out thy hand upon the waters of the Egyptians -- upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there shall be blood throughout the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood and in [vessels of] stone.

²⁰A Mojžiš a Áron učinili tak, ako prikázal Hospodin. Dvihnúc palicou uderil vodu, ktorá bola v rieke, pred očima faraonovými a pred očami jeho služobníkov, a všetky vody, ktoré boly v rieke, sa obrátili na krv.

²⁰And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah had commanded; and he lifted up the staff, and smote the waters that were in the river before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his bondmen; and all the waters that were in the river were turned into blood.

²¹A ryby, ktoré boly v rieke, pomrely, a rieka sa zosmradila, takže nemohli Egypťania piť vodu z rieky, a krv bola po celej zemi Egyptskej.

²¹And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river; and the blood was throughout the land of Egypt.

²²Ale urobili tak aj egyptskí vedomci svojimi kúzly, a preto posilnilo sa srdce faraonovo, a neposlúchol ich, tak ako hovoril Hospodin.

²²And the scribes of Egypt did so with their sorceries; and Pharaoh's heart was stubborn, neither did he hearken to them, as Jehovah had said.

²³A faraon obrátiac sa odišiel do svojho domu a nepriložil ani k tomu svojho srdca.

²³And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and took not this to heart either.

²⁴Vtedy kopali všetci Egypťania všade okolo rieky a hľadali vodu na pitie, lebo nemohli piť vodu z rieky.

²⁴And all the Egyptians dug round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.

²⁵A vyplnilo sa sedem dní odvtedy, odkedy uderil Hospodin rieku.

²⁵And seven days were fulfilled, after Jehovah had smitten the river.
