Исход 3
1 Моисей же бяше пасый овцы Иофора тестя своего, священника Мадиамска: и гнаше овцы в пустыню, и прииде в гору Божию Хорив.
Moses/I was taking care of the sheep that belonged to his/my father-in-law Jethro, the priest of the Midian [people]. He/I led the flock across the desert and came to Horeb, [the mountain that was later called Sinai], the (mountain that [had been dedicated to] God/taboo mountain).
2 Явися же ему Ангел Господнь в пламени огненне из купины: и видит, яко купина горит огнем, купина же не сгараше.
[One day] Yahweh (appeared/revealed himself) to him/me, [looking like] an angel. The angel appeared in a flame of fire in the middle of a bush [that was burning]. Moses/I looked at it, and he/I was surprised that the bush was burning, but it was not burning up.
3 Рече же Моисей: мимошед увижду видение великое сие, яко не сгарает купина.
Moses/I thought, “I will go closer and try to see this strange sight! Why is the bush not burning up?”
4 Егда же виде Господь, яко приступает видети, воззва его Господь из купины, глаголя: Моисее, Моисее. Он же рече: что есть, Господи?
When Yahweh saw that he/I had come closer, he called to Moses/me from the middle of the bush, saying, “Moses! Moses!” He/I replied, “[Yes], here I am.”
5 Он же рече: не приближайся семо: изуй сапоги от ног твоих: место бо, на немже ты стоиши, земля свята есть.
Yahweh said, “Do not come closer! [Because I am God], the ground on which you are standing is holy/taboo. So take off your sandals [to show respect to me].”
6 И рече ему: Аз есмь Бог отца твоего, Бог Авраамов и Бог Исааков и Бог Иаковль. Отврати же Моисей лице свое: благоговеяше бо воззрети пред Бога.
Then he said, “I am God, whom your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [worshiped].” So Moses/I covered his/my face, because he/I was afraid [that God would kill him/me] if he/I looked at him.
7 Рече же Господь к Моисею: видя видех озлобление людий Моих, иже во Египте, и вопль их услышах от дел приставников: уведех болезнь их,
Then Yahweh said, “I have seen how cruelly [they are treating] my people in Egypt. I have heard them (wailing/crying out) [for help] because of what the slave-drivers [are forcing them to do]. I know how my people are suffering.
8 и снидох изяти их от руку Египетску, и извести я из земли тоя, и ввести их в землю благу и многу, в землю кипящую млеком и медом, в место Хананейско и Хеттейско, и Аморрейско и Ферезейско, и Гергесейско и Евейско и Иевусейско:
So I have come down [from heaven] to rescue them from the Egyptians [SYN]. I have come to bring them up from that land [to the highlands in Canaan]. I will bring them to a land that is good/fertile and that has plenty of space. It will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [MTY]. It is the land where the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus [live].
9 и се, ныне вопль сынов Израилевых прииде ко Мне, и Аз видех тугу, еюже Египтяне стужают им:
Truly I have now heard my Israeli people crying [PRS]. I have seen how the Egyptians oppress them.
10 и ныне гряди, да послю тя к фараону царю Египетскому, и изведеши люди Моя, сыны Израилевы из земли Египетския.
So you go [back] to Egypt. I am sending you to the king, in order that [he may permit] you to bring my people, the Israeli people, out of Egypt.”
11 И рече Моисей к Богу: кто есмь аз, яко да пойду к фараону царю Египетскому, и яко да изведу сыны Израилевы от земли Египетския?
But Moses/I replied, “I am not a well-known person [RHQ]! (I cannot go to the king and [ask him to permit me] to bring the Israeli people out of Egypt!/How can I go to the king and [ask him to allow me to] bring the Israeli people out of Egypt?)” [RHQ]
12 Рече же Бог к Моисею, глаголя: яко буду с тобою: и сие тебе знамение, яко Аз тя посылаю: внегда извести тебе люди Моя из Египта, и помолитеся Богу в горе сей.
God replied, “I will be with you. And when you bring [my] people out of Egypt, all of you will worship me [right] here on this mountain. That will prove that I am the one who sent you [to them].”
13 И рече Моисей к Богу: се, аз пойду к сыном Израилевым и реку к ним: Бог отец наших посла мя к вам: и аще вопросят мя, что имя Ему, что реку к ним?
Moses/I said to God, “If I go to the Israeli people and say to them, ‘God, the one your ancestors [worshiped], has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’, what shall I say to them?”
14 И рече Бог к Моисею, глаголя: Аз есмь Сый. И рече: тако речеши сыном Израилевым: Сый посла мя к вам.
God replied, “I AM who I AM.” And he said, “Tell the Israeli people that the one who is [named] ‘I AM’ has sent me to you.”
15 И рече Бог паки к Моисею: тако речеши сыном Израилевым: Господь Бог отец наших, Бог Авраамов и Бог Исааков и Бог Иаковль, посла мя к вам: сие Мое есть имя вечное и память родов родом:
God also said to Moses/me, “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘Yahweh God, the one your ancestors [worshiped], the one that Abraham and Isaac and Jacob [worshiped], has sent me to you.’ This name, [Yahweh], will be my name forever. That is the name that [people in] all future generations [must use when they talk about/to] me.
16 пришед убо собери старцы сынов Израилевых и рцы к ним: Господь Бог отец наших явися мне, Бог Авраамов и Бог Исааков и Бог Иаковль, глаголя: присещением присетих вас, и елика случишася вам во Египте:
Go [to Egypt] and gather together the elders/leaders of the Israeli people, and say to them, ‘Yahweh God, the one your ancestors [worshiped], the one Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob [worshiped], appeared to me. He said to him/me, “I have been watching closely what the Egyptian people have done to you.
17 и рече: изведу вас от озлобления Египетскаго в землю Хананейску и Хеттейску, и Аморрейску и Ферезейску, и Гергесейску и Евейску и Иевусейску, в землю кипящую млеком и медом:
I promise that I will rescue you from being oppressed in Egypt, and [I will take you] to the land where the descendants of Canaan, Heth, Amor, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus [live]. It is a land good for raising livestock and growing crops [MTY].”’
18 и послушают гласа твоего, и внидеши ты и старейшины Израилевы к фараону царю Египетскому, и речеши к нему: Господь Бог Еврейский воззва нас: да пойдем убо путем трех дний в пустыню, да пожрем Господу Богу нашему:
My people will do what you say. Then you and their leaders must go to the king of Egypt, and you must say to him, ‘Yahweh, who is God, the one we Hebrews [worship], has revealed himself to us. So now we ask you to allow us to travel for three days to [a place in] the desert, in order that there we may offer sacrifices to Yahweh, our God.’
19 Аз же вем, яко не отпустит вас фараон царь Египетский пойти, аще не рукою крепкою:
But I know that the king of Egypt will allow you to go only if he realizes I am [more] powerful [MTY] [than he is].
20 и простер руку Мою, поражу Египтяны всеми чудесы Моими, яже сотворю в них: и по сих отпустит вы,
So I will use my power [MTY] to strike/punish [the people of] Egypt [MTY] by performing many miracles there. Then he will allow you to leave.
21 и дам благодать людем сим пред Египтяны: егда же пойдете, не отидете тщы:
[When that happens], I will cause the people of Egypt to respect you. [The result will be that] when you leave Egypt, (you will not go empty-handed/they will give you many [valuable] things to take with you).
22 но да испросит жена от соседы и подруги своея сосуды сребряны и златы, и ризы: и украсите сыны вашя и дщери вашя, и оберите Египтян.
[At that time], each [Israeli] woman will ask her [Egyptian] neighbors and each [Egyptian] woman who is living in her (OR, her neighbor’s) house to [give her] some silver and gold jewelry and some [nice] clothes. [Each Egyptian woman will give them some], and you will put them on your sons and daughters [to take with you]. In that way you will (take away/confiscate) the wealth of the Egyptian people.”
