Exodus 4
1 Then responded Moses, and said, And lo! they will not believe me, neither hearken to my voice, —for they will say, Yahweh, hath not appeared unto 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 Yahweh said unto him—What is this in thy hand? And he said—A staff.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Kaj je to v tvoji roki?« Rekel je: »Palica.«
3 Then said he—Cast it to the earth. And he cast it to the earth, and it became a serpent, —and Moses fled from the face thereof.
Rekel je: »Vrzi jo na tla.« Vrgel jo je na tla in ta je postala kača in Mojzes je pobegnil pred njo.
4 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by its tail: So he put forth his hand, and laid hold of 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 Yahweh, God of their fathers, —God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and 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 Then said Yahweh unto him, yet again—Bring, I pray thee, thy hand, into thy bosom. So he brought his hand, into his bosom, —and then took it out, and lo! his hand, was leprous, —like 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 back thy hand into thy bosom: So he put back his hand into his bosom, —and then took it out of his bosom, and lo it had come again like his own 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 thus shall it come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, then will they believe the voice of the next 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 even these two signs nor hearken to thy voice, then shalt thou take of the water of the river, and pour it out on the dry land, —so shall the water which thou hast taken from the river, become, yea it shall become, blood, on 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 unto Yahweh—Pardon, O My Lord! not a man of words, am I, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant, —for heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue, I am.
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 Then Yahweh said unto him—Who appointed a mouth for man, or who appointeth him to be dumb, or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh?
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 Now, therefore go, —and, I, will be with thy mouth, so will I direct thee, what thou shalt speak.
Sedaj torej pojdi in jaz bom s tvojimi usti in te učil kaj boš govoril.«
13 And he said—Pardon, O My 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 was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Moses, and he said—Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he, can speak. Moreover also lo! he himself is coming forth to meet thee, as surely as he seeth thee, so surely will he rejoice 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 Then shalt thou speak unto him, and shalt put the words in his mouth, —and, I, will be with thy mouth and with his mouth, so will I direct 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, —so shall it come to pass that he shall become thy mouth, and thou shalt become to him as God.
On bo tvoj govornik ljudstvu in on bo, celó on bo tebi namesto ust in ti boš njemu namesto Boga.
17 And this staff, take thou in thy hand, —wherewith thou shalt do the signs.
In v svojo roko boš vzel to palico, s katero boš delal znamenja.«
18 So Moses went and returned unto Jethro his father-in-law and said to him—Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren who are in Egypt, that I may see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses: Go and prosper.
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 Then said Yahweh unto Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt, —for all the men are dead who were seeking 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 So Moses took his wife and his sons, and caused them to ride upon the 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 Yahweh said unto Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see as touching all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, that thou do them before Pharaoh—but, I, will let his heart wax bold, and he will not suffer the people to 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 Then shalt thou say unto Pharaoh, Thus, saith Yahweh—My son—my firstborn, is Israel;
Faraonu boš rekel: ›Tako govori Gospod, Izrael je moj sin, celo moj prvorojenec‹
23 Therefore I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me, But if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I, am going to slay, 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 resting-place for the night, that Yahweh fell upon him, and sought to kill him.
Pripetilo se je po poti v gostišče, da ga je srečal Gospod in si prizadeval, da ga ubije.
25 So Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it down at his feet, —and said—Surely, a bridegroom by rites of blood, 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 So he let him go, Then, it was that she said, A bridegroom by rites of blood—with regard to the rites of circumcision.
Tako ga je pustil oditi. Potem je rekla: »Krvav soprog si zaradi obreze.«
27 And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Go thy way to meet Moses, towards the desert. So he went his way, and fell in with him in 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 Yahweh wherewith he had sent him, —and all the signs wherewith he had charged him.
Mojzes je povedal Aronu vse besede Gospoda, ki ga je poslal in vsa znamenja, ki mu jih je zapovedal.
29 So Moses and Aaron went their way, —and gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.
Mojzes in Aron sta odšla ter zbrala skupaj vse starešine Izraelovih otrok
30 And Aaron spake all the words which Yahweh had spoken unto 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 Yahweh had concerned himself for the sons of Israel, and that he had looked upon their humiliation, then bent they their heads and bowed themselves down.
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.
