Исход 4
1 Отвеща же Моисей и рече: аще не уверуют ми, ниже послушают гласа моего, рекут бо, яко не явися тебе Бог, что реку к ним?
And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD has not appeared unto you.
2 И рече к нему Господь: что сие есть в руце твоей? Он же рече: жезл.
And the LORD said unto him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.
3 И рече: поверзи его на землю. И верже и на землю, и бысть змий: и отбеже Моисей от него.
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.
4 И рече Господь к Моисею: простри руку и ими за хвост. Простер убо руку, взя за хвост, и бысть жезл в руце его.
And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
5 Да уверуют ти, яко явися тебе Господь Бог отец твоих, Бог Авраамов и Бог Исааков и Бог Иаковль.
That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared unto you.
6 Рече же ему Господь паки: вложи руку твою в недро твое. И вложи руку в недро свое, и изят ю от недра своего, и бысть рука его прокажена яко снег.
And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
7 И рече паки ему Господь: вложи руку твою в недро твое. И вложи руку свою в недро свое, и изят ю от недра своего, и бысть паки в румянстве плоти своея.
And he said, Put your hand into your bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
8 Аще же не уверуют тебе, ниже послушают гласа знамения перваго, уверуют тебе ради гласа знамения втораго:
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe you, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
9 и будет аще не уверуют тебе двема знамениями сими, ниже послушают гласа твоего, да возмеши от воды речныя, и пролиеши на сухо: и будет вода, юже возмеши от реки, кровию на сусе.
And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which you take out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
10 Рече же Моисей ко Господу: молюся ти, Господи: недоброречив есмь прежде вчерашняго и третияго дне, ниже отнележе начал еси глаголати рабу Твоему: худогласен и косноязычен аз есмь.
And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither in time past, nor since you have spoken unto your servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
11 И рече Господь к Моисею: кто даде уста человеку? И кто сотвори нема и глуха, и видяща и слепа? Не Аз ли Господь Бог?
And the LORD said unto him, Who has made man's mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
12 И ныне иди, и Аз отверзу уста твоя и устрою тебе, еже имаши глаголати.
Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.
13 Рече же Моисей: молюся ти, Господи, избери могуща иного, егоже послеши.
And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray you, by the hand of him whom you will send.
14 И разгневався яростию Господь на Моисеа, рече: не се ли брат твой Аарон Левитин? Вем, яко глаголя возглаголет он вместо тебе: и се, той изыдет во сретение тебе, и узрев тя, возрадуется в себе:
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he comes forth to meet you: and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15 и речеши к нему, и вдаси словеса Моя во уста его: Аз же отверзу уста твоя и уста его, и устрою вам яже имате творити:
And you shall speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what all of you shall do.
16 и той возглаголет от тебе к людем, и той будет уста твоя: ты же будеши ему в тех, яже к Богу:
And he shall be your spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to you instead of a mouth, and you shall be to him instead of God.
17 и жезл сей обращенный в змию, возми в руку твою, сим сотвориши знамения.
And you shall take this rod in your hand, wherewith you shall do signs.
18 Пойде же Моисей, и возвратися ко Иофору тестю своему и рече: пойду и возвращуся ко братии моей, иже во Египте, и увижду, аще еще живи суть. И рече Иофор к Моисею: иди здрав. По днех же оных многих, умре царь Египетский.
And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray you, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
19 И рече Господь к Моисею в земли Мадиамстей: иди, отиди во Египет: измроша бо вси ищущии души твоея.
And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought your life.
20 Поим же Моисей жену свою и отрочата, всади я на ослята, и возвратися во Египет. И взя Моисей жезл, иже от Бога, в руку свою.
And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
21 Рече же Господь к Моисею: идущу тебе и возвращающуся во Египет, зри вся чудеса, яже дах в руце твои, да сотвориши Я пред фараоном: Аз же ожесточу сердце его, и не отпустит людий:
And the LORD said unto Moses, When you go to return into Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in your hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
22 ты же возглаголеши фараону: сия глаголет Господь Бог Еврейский: сын Мой первенец Израиль:
And you shall say unto Pharaoh, Thus says the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
23 рех же тебе: отпусти люди Моя, да Ми послужат: аще убо не хощеши отпустити их, блюди убо, Аз убию сына твоего первенца.
And I say unto you, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your son, even your firstborn.
24 Бысть же на пути на стану, срете его Ангел Господнь и искаше его убити.
And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
25 И вземши Сепфора камень, обреза конечную плоть сына своего, и припаде к ногам его и рече: ста кровь обрезания сына моего.
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband are you to me.
26 И отиде от него Ангел, занеже рече: ста кровь обрезания сына моего.
So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband you are, because of the circumcision.
27 Рече же Господь ко Аарону: изыди во сретение Моисею в пустыню. И иде, и срете его в горе Божии: и целовастася оба.
And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
28 И поведа Моисей Аарону вся словеса Господня, яже посла, и вся знамения, яже заповеда ему.
And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
29 Иде же Моисей и Аарон, и собраша вся старцы сынов Израилевых:
And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
30 и глагола им Аарон вся словеса сия, яже глагола Бог к Моисею: и сотвори знамения пред людьми.
And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
31 И вероваша людие, и возрадовашася, яко посети Бог сыны Израилевы и яко призре на их скорбение: и преклоншеся людие поклонишася.
And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
