1 Moses vogtede nu Småkvæget for sin Svigerfader Jetro, Præsten i Midjan,og drev engang Småkvæget hen hinsides Ørkenen og kom til Guds Bjerg Horeb.
1 Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
2 Da åbenbarede HERRENs Engel sig for ham i en Ildslue, der slog ud af en Tornebusk, og da han så nærmere til, se, da stod Tornebusken i lys Lue, uden at den blev fortæret.
2 The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.
6 Og han sagde: "Jeg er din Faders Gud, Abrahams Gud, Isaks Gud og Jakobs Gud." Da skjulte Moses sit Ansigt, thi han frygtede for at skue Gud.
6 He said also, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.
7 Derpå sagde HERREN: "Jeg har set mit Folks Elendighed i Ægypten, og jeg har hørt deres Klageskrig over deres Undertrykkere, ja, jeg kender deres Lidelser;
7 The Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings.
8 og jeg er steget ned for at udfri dem af Ægyptens Hånd og føre dem bort fra dette Land til et godt og vidtstrakt Land, til et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning, til Kana'anæernes, Hetiternes, Amoriternes, Perizzitemes, Hivviternes og Jebusiternes Egn.
8 So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.
12 Han svarede: "Jo, jeg vil være med dig! Og dette skal være dig Tegnet på, at det er mig, der har sendt dig: Når du har ført Folket ud af Ægypten, skal I dyrke Gud på dette Bjerg!"
12 And He said, “Certainly I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain.”
13 Men Moses sagde til Gud: "Når jeg kommer til Israeliterne og siger dem, at deres Fædres Gud har sendt mig til dem, hvad skal jeg så svare dem, hvis de spørger om hans Navn7"
13 Then Moses said to God, “Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?”
15 Og Gud sagde fremdeles til Moses: "Således skal du sige til Israeliterne: HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, Abrahams Gud, Isaks Gud og Jakobs Gud, har sendt mig til eder; dette er mit Navn til evig Tid, og således skal jeg kaldes fra Slægt til Slægt.
15 God, furthermore, said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘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 My memorial-name to all generations.
16 Gå nu hen og kald Israels Ældste sammen og sig til dem: HERREN, eders Fædres Gud, Abrahams, Isaks og Jakobs Gud, har åbenbaret sig for mig og sagt: Jeg har givet Agt på eder og på, hvad man har gjort imod eder i Ægypten,
16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt.
17 og jeg har sat mig for at føre eder ud af Ægyptens Elendighed til Kana'anæernes, Hetiternes, Amoriternes, Perizziternes, Hivviternes og Jebusiternes Land, til et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning!
17 So I said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’
18 De vil høre på dig, og du skal sammen med Israels Ældste gå til Ægypterkongen, og I skal sige til ham: HERREN, Hebræernes Gud, har mødt os, tillad os derfor at drage tre Dagsrejser ud i Ørkenen og ofre til HERREN vor Gud!
18 They will pay heed to what you say; and you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt and you will say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now, please, let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’
22 Enhver Kvinde skal bede sin Naboerske og de Kvinder, som er til Huse hos hende, om Sølv og Guldsmykker og Klæder, og I skal give eders Sønner og Døtre det på. Således skal I tage Bytte fra Ægypterne."
22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters. Thus you will plunder the Egyptians.”
