¹Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb.

¹A Mojžiš pásol stádo Jetra, svojeho svokra, kňaza-kniežaťa Madianska. A zahnal pozvoľna stádo až za púšť a prišiel k vrchu Božiemu, k Horebu.

²The angel of Yahweh “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

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.

³Moses said, “I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”

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

⁴When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!” He said, “Here I am.”

⁴A Hospodin videl, že odbočil, aby videl, a Bôh zavolal na neho z prostredku kra a riekol: Mojžišu, Mojžišu! A on odpovedal: Tu som.

⁵He said, “Don’t come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”

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

⁶Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.

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.

⁷Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

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

⁸I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

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.

⁹Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

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

¹⁰Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

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

¹¹Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring 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?!

¹²He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

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.

¹³Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you;’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ What should I tell them?”

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?

¹⁴God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

¹⁴A Bôh riekol Mojžišovi: SOM, KTORÝ SOM. A ďalej riekol: Takto povieš synom Izraelovým: SOM ma poslal k vám.

¹⁵God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.

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.

¹⁶Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt;

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.

¹⁷and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’

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.

¹⁸They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.’

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.

¹⁹I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand.

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

²⁰I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that he will let you go.

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

²¹I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.

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

²²But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”

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.
