Exodus 4
1 And Moses answered and said, But behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice; for they will say, Jehovah has not appeared to thee.
Mojzes je odgovoril in rekel: »Toda, glej, ne bodo mi verjeli niti prisluhnili mojemu glasu, kajti rekli bodo: › Gospod se ti ni prikazal.‹«
2 And Jehovah said to him, What is that in thy hand? And he said, A staff.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Kaj je to v tvoji roki?« Rekel je: »Palica.«
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 before it.
Rekel je: »Vrzi jo na tla.« Vrgel jo je na tla in ta je postala kača in Mojzes je pobegnil pred njo.
4 And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand and take it by the tail — and he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand —
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Iztegni svojo roko in jo primi za rep.« Iztegnil je svojo roko in jo ujel in v njegovi roki je postala palica.
5 that they may believe that Jehovah, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
»Da bodo oni lahko verjeli, da se ti je prikazal Gospod, Bog njihovih očetov, Bog Abrahama, Bog Izaka in Bog Jakoba.«
6 And Jehovah said moreover to him, Put now thy hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom, and took it out, and behold, his hand was leprous, as snow.
Gospod mu je nadalje rekel: »Sedaj daj svojo roko v svoje naročje.« Svojo roko je položil v svoje naročje, ko pa jo je izvlekel, glej, je bila njegova roka gobava kakor sneg.
7 And he said, Put thy hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again, and took it out of his bosom, and behold, it was turned again as his flesh.
Rekel je: »Svojo roko ponovno daj v svoje naročje.« In ponovno je svojo roko položil v svoje naročje in izvlekel jo je iz svojega naročja in glej, ponovno je bila spremenjena kakor drugo njegovo meso.
8 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the other sign.
»Zgodilo se bo, če ti ne bodo verjeli niti prisluhnili glasu prvega znamenja, da bodo verjeli glasu zadnjega znamenja.
9 And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also those two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour [it] on the dry [land]; and the water that thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land].
Zgodilo se bo, če ne bodo verjeli tudi tema dvema znamenjema niti prisluhnili tvojemu glasu, da boš iz reke zajel vodo in jo izlil na suho zemljo in voda, ki jo zajameš iz reke, bo na suhih tleh postala kri.«
10 And Moses said to Jehovah, Ah Lord! I am not eloquent, neither heretofore nor since thou hast spoken to thy servant, for I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue.
Mojzes je Gospodu rekel: »Oh moj Gospod, jaz nisem zgovoren, niti poprej niti odkar si spregovoril svojemu služabniku, temveč sem počasen za govorjenje in počasnega jezika.«
11 And Jehovah said to him, Who gave man a mouth? or who maketh dumb, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? [have] not I, Jehovah?
Gospod mu je rekel: »Kdo je naredil človekova usta? Ali kdo naredi nemega ali gluhega ali da vidi ali slepega? Ali ne jaz, Gospod?
12 And now go, and I will be with thy mouth, and will teach thee what thou shalt say.
Sedaj torej pojdi in jaz bom s tvojimi usti in te učil kaj boš govoril.«
13 And he said, Ah Lord! send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send.
Rekel je: »Oh moj Gospod, pošlji, prosim te, po roki tistega, ki ga ti hočeš poslati.«
14 Then the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also behold, he goeth out to meet thee; and when he seeth thee he will be glad in his heart.
Gospodova jeza je bila vžgana zoper Mojzesa in rekel je: » Mar ni Lévijevec Aron tvoj brat? Vem, da lahko dobro govori. In tudi, glej, prihaja, da te sreča in ko te zagleda, bo v svojem srcu vesel.
15 And thou shalt speak unto him, and put the words in his mouth; and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
Ti mu boš govoril in v njegova usta polagal besede in jaz bom s tvojimi usti in z njegovimi usti in vaju učil, kaj bosta storila.
16 And he shall speak for thee unto the people; and it shall come to pass that he shall be to thee for a mouth, and thou shalt be to him for God.
On bo tvoj govornik ljudstvu in on bo, celó on bo tebi namesto ust in ti boš njemu namesto Boga.
17 And thou shalt take this staff in thy hand, with which thou shalt do the signs.
In v svojo roko boš vzel to palico, s katero boš delal znamenja.«
18 And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, that I may see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Mojzes je odšel, se vrnil k svojemu tastu Jitru in mu rekel: »Pusti me iti, prosim te in se vrniti k mojim bratom, ki so v Egiptu in videti ali so še živi.« Jitro je Mojzesu rekel: »Pojdi v miru.«
19 And Jehovah said to Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt; for all the men are dead who sought thy life.
Gospod je v Midjánu rekel Mojzesu: »Pojdi, vrni se v Egipt, kajti vsi ljudje, ki so ti stregli po življenju, so mrtvi.«
20 And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them riding upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.
Mojzes je vzel svojo ženo in svoja sinova in jih posadil na osla in se vrnil v egiptovsko deželo in Mojzes je v svojo roko vzel Božjo palico.
21 And Jehovah said to Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see that thou do all the wonders before Pharaoh that I have put in thy hand. And I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Ko greš, da se vrneš v Egipt, glej, da boš pred faraonom storil vse te čudeže, ki sem jih položil v tvojo roko, toda jaz bom zakrknil njegovo srce, da ljudstvu ne bo dovolil oditi.
22 And thou shalt say to Pharaoh, Thus saith Jehovah: Israel is my son, my firstborn.
Faraonu boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izrael je moj sin, celo moj prvorojenec‹
23 And I say to thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me. And if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.
in jaz ti pravim: ›dovoli mojemu sinu oditi, da mi bo lahko služil. Če pa mu boš odklonil oditi, glej, bom ubil tvojega sina, celó tvojega prvorojenca.‹«
24 And it came to pass on the way, in the inn, that Jehovah came upon him, and sought to slay him.
Pripetilo se je po poti v gostišče, da ga je srečal Gospod in si prizadeval, da ga ubije.
25 Then Zipporah took a stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, A bloody husband indeed art thou to me!
Tedaj je Cipóra vzela oster kamen in odrezala prednjo kožico svojega sina in jo vrgla k njegovim stopalom ter rekla: »Zagotovo si mi krvav soprog.«
26 And he let him go. Then she said, A bloody husband — because of the circumcision.
Tako ga je pustil oditi. Potem je rekla: »Krvav soprog si zaradi obreze.«
27 And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.
Gospod je rekel Aronu: »Pojdi v divjino, da srečaš Mojzesa.« Ta je odšel in ga srečal na gori Boga ter ga poljubil.
28 And Moses told Aaron all the words of Jehovah who had sent him, and all the signs that he had commanded him.
Mojzes je povedal Aronu vse besede Gospoda, ki ga je poslal in vsa znamenja, ki mu jih je zapovedal.
29 And Moses and Aaron went and gathered all the elders of the children of Israel;
Mojzes in Aron sta odšla ter zbrala skupaj vse starešine Izraelovih otrok
30 and Aaron spoke all the words that Jehovah had spoken to Moses, and did the signs before the eyes of the people.
in Aron je govoril vse besede, ki jih je Gospod govoril Mojzesu in v očeh ljudstva storil znamenja.
31 And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Ljudje so verovali in ko so slišali, da je Gospod obiskal Izraelove otroke in da je pogledal na njihovo stisko, potem so sklonili svoje glave in oboževali.
