Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not listen to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to you), what shall I say to them?
Отвеща же Моисей и рече: аще не уверуют ми, ниже послушают гласа моего, рекут бо, яко не явися тебе Бог, что реку к ним?
2 And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in your hand? and he said, A rod.
И рече к нему Господь: что сие есть в руце твоей? Он же рече: жезл.
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground: and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it.
И рече: поверзи его на землю. И верже и на землю, и бысть змий: и отбеже Моисей от него.
4 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,
И рече Господь к Моисею: простри руку и ими за хвост. Простер убо руку, взя за хвост, и бысть жезл в руце его.
5 and it became a rod in his hand, —that they may believe you, that the God of your fathers has appeared to you, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
Да уверуют ти, яко явися тебе Господь Бог отец твоих, Бог Авраамов и Бог Исааков и Бог Иаковль.
6 And the Lord said again to him, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.
Рече же ему Господь паки: вложи руку твою в недро твое. И вложи руку в недро свое, и изят ю от недра своего, и бысть рука его прокажена яко снег.
7 And he said again, Put your hand into your bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of his [other] flesh.
И рече паки ему Господь: вложи руку твою в недро твое. И вложи руку свою в недро свое, и изят ю от недра своего, и бысть паки в румянстве плоти своея.
8 And if they will not believe you, nor listen to the voice of the first sign, they will believe you [because] of the voice of the second sign.
Аще же не уверуют тебе, ниже послушают гласа знамения перваго, уверуют тебе ради гласа знамения втораго:
9 And it shall come to pass if they will not believe you for these two signs, and will not listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which you shall take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.
и будет аще не уверуют тебе двема знамениями сими, ниже послушают гласа твоего, да возмеши от воды речныя, и пролиеши на сухо: и будет вода, юже возмеши от реки, кровию на сусе.
10 And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that you have begun to speak to your servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.
Рече же Моисей ко Господу: молюся ти, Господи: недоброречив есмь прежде вчерашняго и третияго дне, ниже отнележе начал еси глаголати рабу Твоему: худогласен и косноязычен аз есмь.
11 And the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?
И рече Господь к Моисею: кто даде уста человеку? И кто сотвори нема и глуха, и видяща и слепа? Не Аз ли Господь Бог?
12 And now go and I will open your mouth, and will instruct you in what you shall say.
И ныне иди, и Аз отверзу уста твоя и устрою тебе, еже имаши глаголати.
13 And Moses said, I pray you, Lord, appoint another able [person] whom you shall send.
Рече же Моисей: молюся ти, Господи, избери могуща иного, егоже послеши.
14 And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Behold! is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he will surely speak to you; and, behold, he will come forth to meet you, and beholding you he will rejoice within himself.
И разгневався яростию Господь на Моисеа, рече: не се ли брат твой Аарон Левитин? Вем, яко глаголя возглаголет он вместо тебе: и се, той изыдет во сретение тебе, и узрев тя, возрадуется в себе:
15 And you shall speak to him; and you shall put my words into his mouth, and I will open your mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what you shall do.
и речеши к нему, и вдаси словеса Моя во уста его: Аз же отверзу уста твоя и уста его, и устрою вам яже имате творити:
16 And he shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be for him in things pertaining to God.
и той возглаголет от тебе к людем, и той будет уста твоя: ты же будеши ему в тех, яже к Богу:
17 And this rod that was turned into a serpent you shall take in your hand, wherewith you shall work miracles.
и жезл сей обращенный в змию, возми в руку твою, сим сотвориши знамения.
18 And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.
Пойде же Моисей, и возвратися ко Иофору тестю своему и рече: пойду и возвращуся ко братии моей, иже во Египте, и увижду, аще еще живи суть. И рече Иофор к Моисею: иди здрав. По днех же оных многих, умре царь Египетский.
19 And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought your life are dead.
И рече Господь к Моисею в земли Мадиамстей: иди, отиди во Египет: измроша бо вси ищущии души твоея.
20 And Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod [which he had] from God in his hand.
Поим же Моисей жену свою и отрочата, всади я на ослята, и возвратися во Египет. И взя Моисей жезл, иже от Бога, в руку свою.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, When you go and return to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged you with, you shall work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.
Рече же Господь к Моисею: идущу тебе и возвращающуся во Египет, зри вся чудеса, яже дах в руце твои, да сотвориши Я пред фараоном: Аз же ожесточу сердце его, и не отпустит людий:
22 And you shall say to Pharao, These things says the Lord, Israel [is] my firstborn.
ты же возглаголеши фараону: сия глаголет Господь Бог Еврейский: сын Мой первенец Израиль:
23 And I said to you, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if you will not send them away, see, I will kill your firstborn son.
рех же тебе: отпусти люди Моя, да Ми послужат: аще убо не хощеши отпустити их, блюди убо, Аз убию сына твоего первенца.
24 And it came to pass [that] the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to kill him.
Бысть же на пути на стану, срете его Ангел Господнь и искаше его убити.
25 and Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:
И вземши Сепфора камень, обреза конечную плоть сына своего, и припаде к ногам его и рече: ста кровь обрезания сына моего.
26 and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.
И отиде от него Ангел, занеже рече: ста кровь обрезания сына моего.
27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses; and he went and met him in the mount of God, and they kissed each other.
Рече же Господь ко Аарону: изыди во сретение Моисею в пустыню. И иде, и срете его в горе Божии: и целовастася оба.
28 And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.
И поведа Моисей Аарону вся словеса Господня, яже посла, и вся знамения, яже заповеда ему.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.
Иде же Моисей и Аарон, и собраша вся старцы сынов Израилевых:
30 And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.
и глагола им Аарон вся словеса сия, яже глагола Бог к Моисею: и сотвори знамения пред людьми.
31 and the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.
И вероваша людие, и возрадовашася, яко посети Бог сыны Израилевы и яко призре на их скорбение: и преклоншеся людие поклонишася.
