He replied, Men, brethren, and fathers, hear me: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
3 Un sacīja uz viņu: izej no savas zemes un no saviem radiem un ej uz to zemi, ko Es tev rādīšu.
and said to him, Go forth out of thy country, and from among thy relations, and come hither to a land which I will shew thee.

Yet he gave him no inheritance in it, not so much as the print of his foot: yet he promised to give it for a possession to him and to his seed after him, when he had no son.
6 Bet Dievs tā runāja: tavs dzimums būs piedzīvotājs svešā zemē un piespiests pie kalpošanas un grūti vārdzināts četrsimt gadus.
Then spake God to him thus, That his seed should sojourn in a foreign land: and that they should enslave it, and grievously afflict it, four hundred years.
7 Un to tautu, kam tie kalpos, Es gribu sodīt, Dievs sacīja; un pēc tam tie izies un Man kalpos šinī vietā.

This man, forming crafty designs against our nation, grievously treated our fathers, so as to cause them to expose their children, in order to exterminate the race.
20 Tai laikā Mozus piedzima un bija Dievam patīkams un tapa audzināts trīs mēnešus sava tēva namā.
At which time Moses was born, and was endued with singular beauty from God, who was brought up three months in the house of his father:
21 Un kad tas bija izlikts laukā, tad Faraona meita to uzņēma un to uzaudzināja sev pašai par dēlu.
and when he was exposed, Pharaoh’s daughter took him home, and brought him up for herself, as a son.
22 Un Mozus tapa mācīts visā ēģiptiešu gudrībā un bija spēcīgs vārdos un darbos.

24 Un redzēdams, ka viens netaisnību cieta, viņš pārstāvēja un atrieba to, kam pāri darīja, un nosita to Ēģiptieti.
And seeing one of them treated injuriously, he defended him, and executed vengeance for him who had suffered the outrage, smiting the Egyptian.
25 Un viņš domāja, ka viņa brāļi nomanīšot, ka Dievs caur viņa roku tiem dodot pestīšanu. Bet tie to nesaprata.
For he thought that his brethren would understand that God by his hand would give them deliverance: but they understood not.
26 Un otrā dienā viņš tiem piestājās, kad tie bārās un tos skubināja uz mieru sacīdams: vīri, jūs esat brāļi, kāpēc jūs viens otram pāri darāt?
And the following day he shewed himself to them as they were fighting, and urged them to peace, saying, My friends, ye are brethren; wherefore do ye ill treat one another?
27 Bet tas, kas savam tuvākam pāri darīja, viņu atgrūda sacīdams: kas tevi cēlis par virsnieku un tiesas kungu pār mums?
Then he who did his neighbour wrong thrust him from him, saying, Who appointed thee a ruler and a judge over us?
28 Vai tu mani arīdzan gribi nokaut, kā tu vakar to Ēģiptieti esi nokāvis?

29 Un Mozus šī vārda dēļ bēga un piemita Midijana zemē, kur viņš divus dēlus dzemdināja.

30 Un kad četrdesmit gadi bija pagājuši, tad Tā Kunga eņģelis Sinaī kalna tuksnesī viņam parādījās degošā ērkšķu krūmā.
And when forty years were completed, there appeared to him in the desert of mount Sinai the angel of the Lord, in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 Un Mozus to redzēdams, brīnījās par to parādīšanu, un kad tas piegāja to aplūkot, tad Tā Kunga balss uz viņu notika:
But when Moses saw it, he marvelled at the sight: and as he was drawing nearer to observe it, a voice from the Lord came to him,
32 “Es esmu tavu tēvu Dievs, Ābrahāma Dievs un Īzaka Dievs un Jēkaba Dievs.” Un Mozus sāka drebēt un nedrīkstēja tur skatīties.
“I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses trembling, dared not to look farther.
33 Bet Tas Kungs uz to sacīja: “Noauni kurpes no savām kājām, jo tā vieta, kur tu stāvi, ir svēta zeme.
Then the Lord said unto him, “Loose the sandal from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
34 Es redzēdams esmu redzējis Savu ļaužu grūtumu Ēģiptes zemē, un dzirdējis viņu nopūšanos un nolaidies tos izglābt; un nu nāc, Es tevi sūtīšu uz Ēģiptes zemi.”
Attentive I have beheld the evil treatment of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and I am come down to deliver them. And now come hither, I will send thee into Egypt.”
35 Šo Mozu, ko tie bija aizlieguši sacīdami: kas tevi cēlis par virsnieku un tiesas kungu? šo Dievs sūtījis par virsnieku un pestītāju caur tā eņģeļa roku, kas tam bija parādījies ērkšķu krūmā.
This very Moses whom they had rejected, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 Šis viņus ir izvedis, darīdams brīnumus un zīmes Ēģiptes zemē un sarkanā jūrā un tuksnesī četrdesmit gadus.
He brought them forth, after performing miracles and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
37 Šis ir tas Mozus, kas uz Israēla bērniem sacīja: “Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, jums no jūsu brāļiem cels vienu pravieti tā kā mani; To jums būs klausīt.”
This is the Moses who said unto the children of Israel, “A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up for you from among your brethren, as myself; him shall ye hear.”
38 Šis pie tās draudzes tuksnesī bija ar to eņģeli, kas uz viņu runāja Sinaī kalnā, un bija ar mūsu tēviem; un saņēma dzīvus vārdus, mums tos dot;
This is he, who was with the church in the wilderness with the angel who spake to him in the mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received the oracles of life to give unto us:
39 Tam mūsu tēvi negribēja paklausīt, bet viņu atmeta un savās sirdis atgriezās uz Ēģiptes zemi,
to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but thrust him from them, and turned back in their hearts unto Egypt,
40 Sacīdami uz Āronu: taisi mums dievus, kas mūsu priekšā ies; jo mēs nezinām, kas ir noticis šim Mozum, kas mūs izvedis no Ēģiptes zemes.

42 Bet Dievs novērsās un tos nodeva kalpot tam debess spēkam, itin kā ir rakstīts praviešu grāmatā: vai tu Israēla nams šinīs četrdesmit gados tuksnesī Man esi atnesis kaujamus un citus upurus?
Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, Have ye offered me slain beasts and sacrifices forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
43 Un jūs esat pieņēmuši to Moloka dzīvokli un sava Dieva, Remvana, zvaigzni, tās bildes, ko esat taisījuši, tās pielūgt; un Es jūs pārcelšu viņpus Bābeles.
Yet have ye taken up the tabernacle of Moloc, and the star of your god Remphan, those figures which ye made to pay adoration to them: and I will transport you beyond Babylon.
44 Tā liecības telts bija pie mūsu tēviem tuksnesī, itin kā tas, kas ar Mozu runājis, bija pavēlējis, to taisīt pēc tās priekšzīmes, ko viņš bija redzējis;
The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, as he that spake to Moses commanded, that he should make it according to the model which he had seen.

47 Un Salamans Viņam namu uztaisīja.
But Solomon built an house for him.
48 Bet tas Visuaugstākais nedzīvo namos, kas rokām taisīti, itin kā tas pravietis saka:
Though the Most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as the prophet saith,
49 “Debess ir Mans goda krēsls un zeme Manu kāju pamesls; kādu namu jūs Man uztaisīsiet, tā saka Tas Kungs, jeb kura ir Mana dusas vieta?
“Heaven is my throne, and earth the footstool for my feet: what kind of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what place is there for my repose?
50 Vai Mana roka nav šo visu taisījusi?”
hath not my hand made all these things?”
51 Jūs stūrgalvīgie un sirdīs un ausīs neapgraizītie, jūs allažiņ tam Svētam Garam pretī stāvat, tā kā jūsu tēvi, tā arī jūs!
Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears, ye do always oppose yourselves against the Holy Ghost: as your fathers, so are ye.
52 Kuru no tiem praviešiem jūsu tēvi nav vajājuši? Viņi nokāvuši tos, kas par Tā Taisnā atnākšanu papriekš sludināja; Šim jūs tagad esat palikuši par nodevējiem un slepkavām,
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they killed those who before published the tidings of the coming of that Righteous Person; of whom ye have now been the betrayers and murderers:
53 Jūs, kas bauslību caur eņģeļu rokām esat dabūjuši un neesat sargājuši.”

55 Bet viņš, Svēta Gara pilns būdams, skatījās uz debesīm un redzēja Dieva godību un Jēzu stāvam pie Dieva labās rokas,
But he being full of the Holy Ghost, and looking up stedfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God;
56 Un sacīja: redzi, es debesis redzu atvērtas un To Cilvēka Dēlu stāvam pie Dieva labās rokas.
