2 Mojzes 3

1 Torej Mojzes je varoval trop svojega tasta Jitra, midjánskega duhovnika in vodil trop k zadnjemu delu puščave in prišel h gori Boga, k Horebu.

Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian. He led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

2 Gospodov angel se mu je prikazal v ognjenem plamenu iz srede grma in pogledal je in glej, grm je gorel z ognjem, pa grm ni bil použit.

There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from within a bush. Moses saw the bush ablaze with fire, but it was not consumed.

3 Mojzes je rekel: »Sedaj se bom obrnil vstran in pogledal ta velik prizor, zakaj grm ne zgori.«

So Moses thought, “I must go over and see this marvelous sight. Why is the bush not burning up?”

4 Ko je Gospod videl, da se je obrnil vstran, da bi videl, je Bog iz srede grma zaklical k njemu ter rekel: »Mojzes, Mojzes.« Ta je rekel: »Tukaj sem.«

When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called out to him from within the bush, “Moses, Moses!” “Here I am,” he answered.

5 Rekel je: »Ne približaj se, svoje čevlje sezuj s svojih stopal, kajti prostor, na katerem stojiš, je sveta zemlja.«

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”

6 Poleg tega je rekel: »Jaz sem Bog tvojega očeta, Bog Abrahama, Bog Izaka in Bog Jakoba.« In Mojzes je skril svoj obraz, kajti bal se je, da bi pogledal na Boga.

Then He said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

7 Gospod je rekel: »Zagotovo sem videl stisko svojega ljudstva, ki je v Egiptu in slišal njihovo vpitje zaradi njihovih preddelavcev, kajti poznam njihove bridkosti

The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the affliction of My people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their oppressors, and I am aware of their sufferings.

8 in prišel sem dol, da jih osvobodim iz roke Egipčanov in jih privedem iz te dežele gor v dobro in veliko deželo, deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med, v deželo Kánaancev, Hetejcev, Amoréjcev, Perizéjcev, Hivéjcev in Jebusejcev.

I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

9 Zdaj torej, glej, k meni je prišlo vpitje Izraelovih otrok in videl sem tudi zatiranje, s kakršnim so jih Egipčani zatirali.

And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them.

10 Pridi torej zdaj in jaz te bom poslal k faraonu, da lahko privedeš moje ljudstvo, Izraelove otroke, iz Egipta.«

Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

11 Mojzes pa je Bogu rekel: »Kdo sem jaz, da bi šel k faraonu in da bi lahko Izraelove otroke privedel iz Egipta?«

But Moses asked God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

12 Rekel je: »Zagotovo bom s teboj in to ti bodi simbol, da sem te jaz poslal. Ko boš ljudstvo privedel iz Egipta, boste na tej gori služili Bogu.«

“I will surely be with you,” God said, “and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, all of you will worship God on this mountain.”

13 Mojzes je Bogu rekel: »Glej, ko pridem k Izraelovim otrokom in jim bom rekel: ›K vam me je poslal Bog vaših očetov, ‹ pa mi bodo rekli: ›Kakšno je njegovo ime?‹ Kaj naj jim rečem?«

Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?”

14 Bog je Mojzesu rekel: »JAZ SEM, KI SEM.« Rekel je: »Tako boš govoril Izraelovim otrokom: ›JAZ SEM me je poslal k vam.‹«

God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”

15 Bog je Mojzesu poleg tega povedal: »Tako boš rekel Izraelovim otrokom: ›K vam me je poslal Gospod, Bog vaših očetov, Bog Abrahama, Bog Izaka in Bog Jakoba. To je moje ime na veke in to je moj spomin vsem rodovom.‹

God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.

16 Pojdi in zberi skupaj vse Izraelove starešine ter jim reci: ›Prikazal se mi je Gospod, Bog vaših očetov, Bog Abrahama, Izaka in Jakoba, rekoč: ›Zagotovo sem vas obiskal in videl to, kar vam je storjeno v Egiptu.‹«

Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—has appeared to me and said: I have surely attended to you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt.

17 In rekel sem: »Jaz vas bom privedel gor iz egiptovske stiske v deželo Kánaancev, Hetejcev, Amoréjcev, Perizéjcev, Hivéjcev in Jebusejcev, v deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med.

And I have promised to bring you up out of your affliction in Egypt, into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

18 Prisluhnili bodo tvojemu glasu in ti boš prišel, ti in Izraelove starešine, k egiptovskemu kralju in mu boste rekli: › Gospod, Bog Hebrejcev, se je srečal z nami in sedaj nas pusti iti, rotimo te, tri dni potovanja v divjino, da bomo lahko žrtvovali Gospodu, našemu Bogu.‹

The elders of Israel will listen to what you say, and you must go with them to the king of Egypt and tell him, ‘The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.’

19 Prepričan pa sem, da vam egiptovski kralj ne bo pustil oditi, ne, niti z mogočno roko ne.

But I know that the king of Egypt will not allow you to go unless a mighty hand compels him.

20 Svojo roko bom iztegnil in Egipt udaril z vsemi čudeži, ki jih bom storil v njihovi sredi in nató vas bo pustil oditi.

So I will stretch out My hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders I will perform among them. And after that, he will release you.

21 Temu ljudstvu bom dal naklonjenost v očeh Egipčanov in zgodilo se bo, ko greste, da ne boste odšli prazni,

And I will grant this people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that when you leave, you will not go away empty-handed.

22 temveč si bo vsaka ženska izposodila od sosede in od tiste, ki začasno biva v njeni hiši, dragocenosti iz srebra in dragocenosti iz zlata in oblačil, in vi jih boste nadeli na svoje sinove in na svoje hčere in boste oplenili Egipčane.«

Every woman shall ask her neighbor and any woman staying in her house for silver and gold jewelry and clothing, and you will put them on your sons and daughters. So you will plunder the Egyptians.”
