Exodus 3
1 Now Moses was looking after the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he took the flock to the back of the waste land and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
Torej Mojzes je varoval trop svojega tasta Jitra, midjánskega duhovnika in vodil trop k zadnjemu delu puščave in prišel h gori Boga, k Horebu.
2 And the angel of the Lord was seen by him in a flame of fire coming out of a thorn-tree: and he saw that the tree was on fire, but it was not burned up.
Gospodov angel se mu je prikazal v ognjenem plamenu iz srede grma in pogledal je in glej, grm je gorel z ognjem, pa grm ni bil použit.
3 And Moses said, I will go and see this strange thing, why the tree is not burned up,
Mojzes je rekel: »Sedaj se bom obrnil vstran in pogledal ta velik prizor, zakaj grm ne zgori.«
4 And when the Lord saw him turning to one side to see, God said his name out of the tree, crying, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
Ko je Gospod videl, da se je obrnil vstran, da bi videl, je Bog iz srede grma zaklical k njemu ter rekel: »Mojzes, Mojzes.« Ta je rekel: »Tukaj sem.«
5 And he said, Do not come near: take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy.
Rekel je: »Ne približaj se, svoje čevlje sezuj s svojih stopal, kajti prostor, na katerem stojiš, je sveta zemlja.«
6 And he said, I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses kept his face covered for fear of looking on God.
Poleg tega je rekel: »Jaz sem Bog tvojega očeta, Bog Abrahama, Bog Izaka in Bog Jakoba.« In Mojzes je skril svoj obraz, kajti bal se je, da bi pogledal na Boga.
7 And God said, Truly, I have seen the grief of my people in Egypt, and their cry because of their cruel masters has come to my ears; for I have knowledge of their sorrows;
Gospod je rekel: »Zagotovo sem videl stisko svojega ljudstva, ki je v Egiptu in slišal njihovo vpitje zaradi njihovih preddelavcev, kajti poznam njihove bridkosti
8 And I have come down to take them out of the hands of the Egyptians, guiding them out of that land into a good land and wide, into a land flowing with milk and honey; into the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
in prišel sem dol, da jih osvobodim iz roke Egipčanov in jih privedem iz te dežele gor v dobro in veliko deželo, deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med, v deželo Kánaancev, Hetejcev, Amoréjcev, Perizéjcev, Hivéjcev in Jebusejcev.
9 For now, truly, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I have seen the cruel behaviour of the Egyptians to them.
Zdaj torej, glej, k meni je prišlo vpitje Izraelovih otrok in videl sem tudi zatiranje, s kakršnim so jih Egipčani zatirali.
10 Come, then, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may take my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.
Pridi torej zdaj in jaz te bom poslal k faraonu, da lahko privedeš moje ljudstvo, Izraelove otroke, iz Egipta.«
11 And Moses said to God, Who am I to go to Pharaoh and take the children of Israel out of Egypt?
Mojzes pa je Bogu rekel: »Kdo sem jaz, da bi šel k faraonu in da bi lahko Izraelove otroke privedel iz Egipta?«
12 And he said, Truly I will be with you; and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: when you have taken the children of Israel out of Egypt, you will give worship to God on this mountain.
Rekel je: »Zagotovo bom s teboj in to ti bodi simbol, da sem te jaz poslal. Ko boš ljudstvo privedel iz Egipta, boste na tej gori služili Bogu.«
13 And Moses said to God, When I come to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you: and they say to me, What is his name? what am I to say to them?
Mojzes je Bogu rekel: »Glej, ko pridem k Izraelovim otrokom in jim bom rekel: ›K vam me je poslal Bog vaših očetov, ‹ pa mi bodo rekli: ›Kakšno je njegovo ime?‹ Kaj naj jim rečem?«
14 And God said to him, I AM WHAT I AM: and he said, Say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.
Bog je Mojzesu rekel: »JAZ SEM, KI SEM.« Rekel je: »Tako boš govoril Izraelovim otrokom: ›JAZ SEM me je poslal k vam.‹«
15 And God went on to say to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my sign to all generations.
Bog je Mojzesu poleg tega povedal: »Tako boš rekel Izraelovim otrokom: ›K vam me je poslal Gospod, Bog vaših očetov, Bog Abrahama, Bog Izaka in Bog Jakoba. To je moje ime na veke in to je moj spomin vsem rodovom.‹
16 Go and get together the chiefs of the children of Israel, and say to them, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by me, and has said, Truly I have taken up your cause, because of what is done to you in Egypt;
Pojdi in zberi skupaj vse Izraelove starešine ter jim reci: ›Prikazal se mi je Gospod, Bog vaših očetov, Bog Abrahama, Izaka in Jakoba, rekoč: ›Zagotovo sem vas obiskal in videl to, kar vam je storjeno v Egiptu.‹«
17 And I have said, I will take you up out of the sorrows of Egypt into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, into a land flowing with milk and honey.
In rekel sem: »Jaz vas bom privedel gor iz egiptovske stiske v deželo Kánaancev, Hetejcev, Amoréjcev, Perizéjcev, Hivéjcev in Jebusejcev, v deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med.
18 And they will give ear to your voice: and you, with the chiefs of Israel, will go to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has come to us: let us then go three days' journey into the waste land to make an offering to the Lord our God.
Prisluhnili bodo tvojemu glasu in ti boš prišel, ti in Izraelove starešine, k egiptovskemu kralju in mu boste rekli: › Gospod, Bog Hebrejcev, se je srečal z nami in sedaj nas pusti iti, rotimo te, tri dni potovanja v divjino, da bomo lahko žrtvovali Gospodu, našemu Bogu.‹
19 And I am certain that the king of Egypt will not let you go without being forced.
Prepričan pa sem, da vam egiptovski kralj ne bo pustil oditi, ne, niti z mogočno roko ne.
20 But I will put out my hand and overcome Egypt with all the wonders which I will do among them: and after that he will let you go.
Svojo roko bom iztegnil in Egipt udaril z vsemi čudeži, ki jih bom storil v njihovi sredi in nató vas bo pustil oditi.
21 And I will give this people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that when you go out you will go out with your hands full.
Temu ljudstvu bom dal naklonjenost v očeh Egipčanov in zgodilo se bo, ko greste, da ne boste odšli prazni,
22 For every woman will get from her neighbour and from the woman living in her house, ornaments of silver and gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and your daughters; you will take the best of their goods from the Egyptians.
temveč si bo vsaka ženska izposodila od sosede in od tiste, ki začasno biva v njeni hiši, dragocenosti iz srebra in dragocenosti iz zlata in oblačil, in vi jih boste nadeli na svoje sinove in na svoje hčere in boste oplenili Egipčane.«
