Exodus 3
1 Now Moses was pasturing the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro, a priest of Midian. And when he had driven the flock into the interior of the desert, he came to the mountain of God, Horeb.
Un Mozus ganīja Jetrus, sava tēvoča, Midijanas priestera, avis un dzina tās avis aiz tuksneša un nāca pie Dieva kalna Horebā.
2 And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. And he saw that the bush was burning and was not burnt.
Un Tā Kunga eņģelis viņam parādījās uguns liesmā no ērkšķu krūma, un viņš skatījās un redzi, tas ērkšķu krūms dega ar uguni, bet tas ērkšķu krūms nesadega.
3 Therefore, Moses said, “I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”
Tad Mozus sacīja: es jel noiešu un apraudzīšu šo lielo parādīšanu, kādēļ tas ērkšķu krūms nesadeg.
4 Then the Lord, discerning that he proceeded on to see it, called to him from the midst of the bush, and he said, “Moses, Moses.” And he responded, “Here I am.”
Un Tas Kungs redzēja, ka tas gāja lūkot, un Dievs sauca uz to no tā ērkšķu krūma un sacīja: Mozu! Mozu! Un tas sacīja: redzi, še es esmu.
5 And he said: “Lest you should approach here, remove the shoes from your feet. For the place on which you stand is holy ground.”
Un Viņš sacīja: nenāc klāt, novelc savas kurpes no kājām, jo tā vieta, kur tu stāvi, ir svēta zeme.
6 And 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 dared not look directly at God.
Un Viņš sacīja: Es esmu tava tēva Dievs, Ābrahāma Dievs, Īzaka Dievs un Jēkaba Dievs. Un Mozus aizklāja savu vaigu, jo tas bijās Dievu uzlūkot.
7 And the Lord said to him: “I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their outcry because of the harshness of those who are over the works.
Un Tas Kungs sacīja: Es tiešām esmu redzējis Savu ļaužu bēdas, kas ir Ēģiptes zemē un esmu dzirdējis viņu brēkšanu par saviem dzinējiem, jo viņu sāpes Es esmu ņēmis vērā.
8 And knowing their sorrow, I have descended in order to free them from the hands of the Egyptians, and to lead them from that land into a good and spacious land, into a land which flows with milk and honey, to the places of the Canaanite, and Hittite, and Amorite, and Perizzite, and Hivite, and Jebusite.
Tādēļ Es esmu nolaidies, tos izpestīt no ēģiptiešu rokas un tos izvest no šās zemes uz labu un plašu zemi, uz zemi, kur piens un medus tek, uz Kanaāniešu, Hetiešu, Amoriešu, Fereziešu, Hiviešu un Jebusiešu vietu.
9 And so, the outcry of the sons of Israel has come to me. And I have seen their affliction, with which they are oppressed by the Egyptians.
Un nu redzi, Israēla bērnu brēkšana ir nākusi Manā priekšā, un Es arī esmu redzējis to spaidīšanu, ar ko ēģiptieši tos spaida.
10 But come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may lead my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.”
Tad nu ej, Es tevi sūtīšu pie Faraona, un izvedi Manus ļaudis, Israēla bērnus, no Ēģiptes zemes.
11 And Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should lead the sons of Israel out of Egypt?”
Tad Mozus sacīja uz Dievu: kas es esmu, ka man būs iet pie Faraona un izvest Israēla bērnus no Ēģiptes?
12 And he said to him: “I will be with you. And you will have this as a sign that I have sent you: When you will have brought my people out of Egypt, you will offer sacrifice to God upon this mountain.”
Un Viņš sacīja: Es būšu ar tevi: un šī būs tev tā zīme, ka Es tevi esmu sūtījis: kad tu tos ļaudis no Ēģiptes zemes būsi izvedis, tad jūs Dievam kalposiet uz šī kalna.
13 Moses said to God: “Behold, I will go to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ If they say to me, ‘What is his name?’ What shall I say to them?”
Un Mozus sacīja uz Dievu: redzi, kad es nākšu pie Israēla bērniem un uz tiem sacīšu: jūsu tēvu Dievs mani pie jums ir sūtījis, un tie uz mani saka, kāds ir Viņa vārds? Ko man tiem būs sacīt?
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO AM.” He said: “Thus shall you say to the sons of Israel: ‘HE WHO IS has sent me to you.’”
Tad Dievs sacīja uz Mozu: Es Esmu, Kas Es Esmu. Un Viņš sacīja: tā tev būs sacīt Israēla bērniem: Es Esmu, Tas mani pie jums ir sūtījis.
15 And God said again to Moses: “Thus shall you say to the sons of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is the name for me in eternity, and this is my memorial from generation to generation.
Un Dievs vēl sacīja Mozum: tā tev būs sacīt Israēla bērniem: Tas Kungs, jūsu tēvu Dievs, Ābrahāma Dievs, Īzaka Dievs un Jēkaba Dievs, mani pie jums ir sūtījis; šis ir Mans vārds mūžīgi, un šī ir Mana piemiņa uz bērnu bērniem.
16 Go and gather together the elders of Israel, and you shall say to them: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying: When visiting, I have visited you, and I have seen all that has befallen you in Egypt.
Ej un sapulcini Israēla vecajus un saki tiem: Tas Kungs, jūsu tēvu Dievs, man ir parādījies, Ābrahāma, Īzaka un Jēkaba Dievs, un sacījis: Es esmu nācis jūs raudzīt un to, kas jums darīts Ēģiptes zemē.
17 And I have spoken in order to lead you out of the affliction of Egypt, into the land of the Canaanite, and Hittite, and Amorite, and Perizzite, and Hivite, and Jebusite, into a land flowing with milk and honey.’
Un Es esmu sacījis: Es jūs izvedīšu no ēģiptiešu spaidīšanas uz Kanaāniešu, Hetiešu, Amoriešu, Fereziešu, Hiviešu un Jebusiešu zemi, uz zemi, kur piens un medus tek.
18 And they shall hear your voice. And you shall enter, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him: ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has called us. We shall go three days’ journey into the wilderness, in order to offer sacrifice to the Lord our God.’
Un kad tie klausīs tavai balsij, tad tev ar Israēla vecajiem būs iet pie Ēģiptes ķēniņa un uz to sacīt: Tas Kungs, tas Ebreju Dievs, mūs ir sastapis. Un nu lai ejam treju dienu gājumu tuksnesī, upurēt Tam Kungam, savam Dievam.
19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not release you, unless you go out by a powerful hand.
Bet Es zinu, ka Ēģiptes ķēniņš jums neļaus iet, pat ne caur stipru roku.
20 For I will extend my hand, and I will strike Egypt with all my wonders that I will do in the midst of them. After these things, he will release you.
Tad Es izstiepšu Savu roku un sitīšu Ēģiptes zemi ar visiem Saviem brīnumiem, ko Es viņas vidū darīšu; tad viņš jūs atlaidīs.
21 And I will grant favor to this people in the sight of the Egyptians. And so, when you go forth, you shall not go out empty.
Un Es tiem ļaudīm došu žēlastību ēģiptiešu priekšā, un kad jūs iziesiet, tad jūs neiziesiet tukši.
22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and of her hostess vessels of silver and of gold, as well as garments. And you shall set them upon your sons and daughters, and you shall despoil Egypt.”
Bet ikvienai sievai no savas kaimiņienes un no tās, kas dzīvo viņas namā, būs prasīt zelta un sudraba traukus un drēbes, tos jums būs likt uz saviem dēliem un savām meitām un ēģiptiešiem atņemt.
