Exodus 6
1 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Nunc videbis quae facturus sum Pharaoni: per manum enim fortem dimittet eos, et in manu robusta eiiciet illos de terra sua.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. You will see this, for he will let them go because of my strong hand. Because of my strong hand, he will drive them out of his land.”
2 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens: Ego Dominus
God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am Yahweh.
3 qui apparui Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob in Deo omnipotente: et nomen meum ADONAI non indicavi eis.
I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty; but by my name, Yahweh, I was not known to them.
4 Pepigique foedus cum eis, ut darem eis Terram Chanaan, terram peregrinationis eorum, in qua fuerunt advenae.
I also established my covenant with them, in order to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as non-citizens, the land in which they wandered about.
5 Ego audivi gemitum filiorum Israel, quo Aegyptii oppresserunt eos: et recordatus sum pacti mei.
Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have enslaved, and I have called to mind my covenant.
6 Ideo dic filiis Israel: Ego Dominus qui educam vos de ergastulo Aegyptiorum, et eruam de servitute: ac redimam in brachio excelso, et iudiciis magnis.
Therefore, say to the Israelites, 'I am Yahweh. I will bring you out from slavery under the Egyptians, and I will free you from their power. I will rescue you with a display of my power, and with mighty acts of judgment.
7 Et assumam vos mihi in populum, et ero vester Deus: et scietis quod ego sum Dominus Deus vester qui eduxerim vos de ergastulo Aegyptiorum:
I will take you to myself as my people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from slavery under the Egyptians.
8 et induxerim in terram, super quam levavi manum meam ut darem eam Abraham, Isaac, et Iacob: daboque illam possidendam vobis, ego Dominus.
I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am Yahweh.'”
9 Narravit ergo Moyses omnia filiis Israel: qui non acquieverunt ei propter angustiam spiritus, et opus durissimum.
When Moses told this to the Israelites, they would not listen to him because of their discouragement about their harsh slavery.
10 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
11 Ingredere, et loquere ad Pharaonem regem Aegypti, ut dimittat filios Israel de terra sua.
“Go tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to let the people of Israel go from his land.”
12 Respondit Moyses coram Domino: Ecce filii Israel non audiunt me: et quo modo audiet Pharao, praesertim cum incircumcisus sim labiis?
Moses said to Yahweh, “If the Israelites have not listened to me, why will Pharaoh listen to me, since I am not good at speaking?”
13 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, et dedit mandatum ad filios Israel, et ad Pharaonem regem Aegypti ut educerent filios Israel de terra Aegypti.
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He gave them a command for the Israelites and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
