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.

¹Mojzes pa je pasel čredo Jetra, tasta svojega, duhovnika madianskega. In žene čredo onkraj puščave in pride na goro Božjo, Horeb.

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.

²In prikaže se mu angel GOSPODOV v plamenu ognja iz sredi grma; in pogleda, in glej, grm gori v ognju, pa grm ne zgori.

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

³In reče Mojzes: Stopim vendar tja in pogledam to veliko prikazen, zakaj grm ne zgori?

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.”

⁴Ko pa vidi GOSPOD, da stopa bliže, da bi pogledal, mu zakliče Bog iz sredi grma in veli: Mojzes, Mojzes! On pa reče: Tukaj sem.

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

⁵In veli: Ne bližaj se semkaj! Sezuj obuvalo z nog svojih, zakaj mesto, ki na njem stojiš, je sveta zemlja.

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.

⁶In reče: Jaz sem Bog očeta tvojega, Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov in Bog Jakobov. In Mojzes si zastre obraz, kajti boji se ozreti v Boga.

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.

⁷In GOSPOD reče: Videl sem, videl stisko ljudstva svojega, ki je v Egiptu, in njih vpitje pred njih priganjači sem slišal, kajti jaz poznam bolečine njegove.

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.

⁸In stopil sem doli, da ga otmem iz rok Egipčanov in odpeljem iz one dežele v dobro in prostrano deželo, v deželo, v kateri teče mleko in med, v kraj Kanaancev in Hetejcev in Amorejcev in Ferizejcev in Hevejcev in Jebusejcev.

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.

⁹In sedaj, glej, vpitje sinov Izraelovih je prišlo do mene, in videl sem tudi stisko, s katero jih stiskajo Egipčani.

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

¹⁰Sedaj torej pojdi, da te pošljem k Faraonu, in popelji moje ljudstvo, sinove Izraelove, iz Egipta.

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?”

¹¹In reče Mojzes Bogu: Kdo sem jaz, da naj grem k Faraonu ter popeljem sinove Izraelove iz Egipta?

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.”

¹²On pa reče: Jaz bodem s teboj, in to ti bodi znamenje, da sem te jaz poslal: ko popelješ ljudstvo iz Egipta, boste služili Bogu na tejle gori.

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?”

¹³In Mojzes odgovori Bogu: Glej, ko pridem k sinovom Izraelovim in jim porečem: Bog očetov vaših me je poslal k vam, in mi oni reko: Katero je ime njegovo? kaj naj jim povem?

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.’”

¹⁴In Bog reče Mojzesu: JAZ SEM, KI SEM. In reče: Tako boš rekel sinovom Izraelovim: JAZ SEM me je poslal k vam.

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.

¹⁵In Bog reče dalje Mojzesu: Tako reci sinovom Izraelovim: GOSPOD, Bog očetov vaših, Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov in Bog Jakobov, me je poslal k vam. To je moje ime vekomaj in to je spomin moj od roda do roda.

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;

¹⁶Pojdi in zberi starejšine Izraelove in jih govóri: GOSPOD, Bog očetov vaših, se mi je prikazal, Bog Abrahamov, Izakov in Jakobov, govoreč: Zares sem vas obiskal in videl, kako se vam godi v Egiptu,

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.”’

¹⁷in rekel sem: Izvesti vas hočem iz stiske egiptovske v deželo Kanaancev in Hetejcev in Amorejcev in Ferizejcev in Hevejcev in Jebusejcev, v deželo, v kateri teče mleko in med.

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.’

¹⁸In poslušali bodo tvoj glas. Potem pojdeš ti in starejšine izraelski h kralju egiptovskemu in mu porečete: GOSPOD, Bog Hebrejcev, nam je prišel naproti. In sedaj dovoli, da gremo tri dni hoda v puščavo in darujemo GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu.

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

¹⁹Pa jaz vem, da vam kralj egiptovski ne dovoli, da bi šli, tudi ne, če z mogočno roko pridem nadenj.

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.

²⁰In iztegnem roko svojo in udarim Egipt z vsemi čudovitimi deli svojimi, katera bom storil sredi njega; in potem vas izpusti.

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.

²¹In dam milost temu ljudstvu v očeh Egipčanov, in zgodi se, ko izidete, ne pojdete prazni:marveč vsaka žena bo izprosila od sosede in domačinke svoje srebrnih in zlatih dragotin ter oblačil, in naložite jih sinovom in hčeram svojim in oplenite Egipčane.

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.”

²²marveč vsaka žena bo izprosila od sosede in domačinke svoje srebrnih in zlatih dragotin ter oblačil, in naložite jih sinovom in hčeram svojim in oplenite Egipčane.
