Ѿвњща'въ мољ=сїи и^ рече, а%ще л^и не ё^вњ'рђют ми, н^и послђш'аютъ гла'са моего, рекђтъ б^о ја%ко нњсть б~ъ. ја%ви'лъ ми ся чт^о рекђ к ниM”

¹

And Moses answered and said, If they believe me not, and do not hearken to my voice (for they will say, God has not appeared to thee), what shall I say to them?

²

И$ реq к немђ` г~ь, чт^о еs въ рђцњ твое'й, сей же реq же'злъ”

²

And the Lord said to him, What is this thing that is in thine hand? and he said, A rod.

³

И$ рече е^мђ повръзи е^го на' землю, и^ веrже и` на зе'млю, и^ быs змїи, и^ эTбњже мољ=сїи эT него”

³

And he said, Cast it on the ground: and he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it.

⁴

И$ реq г~ь къ мољ=сїю, простри` рђкђ, і^ и^ми и& за хво'стъ, и^ простре` мољ=сїи рђкђ и^ ја%ть е^го и^ бысть па'кы жезлъ в рђцњ` е^го” И$ рече е^мђ,

⁴

And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth thine hand, and take hold of its tail: so he stretched forth his hand and took hold of the tail,

⁵

да ё^вњрђют# т^и, ја%ко ја%виl ти ся е^сть г~ь б~ъ эTц~ъ твоиX б~ъ а^враа'мовъ, б~ъ і^саа'ковъ, б~ъ і^а'ковль”

⁵

and it became a rod in his hand,—that they may believe thee, that the God of thy fathers has appeared to thee, the God of Abraam, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.

⁶

Рече же е^мђ г~ь паки. вложи` рђкђ твою в# ня'дра твоа, и^ вложи` рђкђ свою въ ня'дра своя`, і^ и^зяT еа` эT ня'дръ свои^хъ, и^ бысть рђка` е^го прокаже'нна и^ бњла ја%ко снњгъ”

⁶

And the Lord said again to him, Put thine hand into thy bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and his hand became as snow.

⁷

И$ реq па'ки е^мђ г~ь, вложи` рђкђ твою въ ня'дра твоя, и^ вложи'лъ рђкђ свою въ ня'дра своя`, і^ и^зя'ть ю& эT ня'дръ свои^хъ, и^ бы'сть пакы рђмя'нїа е^мђ пло'ти свое'я”

⁷

And he said again, Put thy hand into thy bosom; and he put his hand into his bosom, and brought his hand out of his bosom, and it was again restored to the complexion of his other flesh.

⁸

І$ а'ще ё^бо не ё^вњрђю^тъ т^и и^ не послђшаютъ гла'са чюда пр'ъваго, т^о вњрђютъ гла'сђ чюда вто'раго”

⁸

And if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, they will believe thee because of the voice of the second sign.

⁹

А$ще не вњрђютъ т^и, си'ма двњма` чю'дома, н^и послђш'аюT гла'са твое^го. да въ'змеши эT воды` рњчны'я. и^ пролие'ши на' сђхо, и^ бђдетъ вода` ю^же възмеши эT рњки` кро'вїю, на' сђсњ”

⁹

And it shall come to pass if they will not believe thee for these two signs, and will not hearken to thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river and pour it upon the dry land, and the water which thou shalt take from the river shall be blood upon the dry land.

¹⁰

Рече же мољ=сїи къ г~ђ, молю' ти ся г~и, ја%ко нњсмь рњчи'стъ эT вчера'шняго и^ третїаго дн~е н^и понели'же начатъ гл~ати рабђ` твоемђ хђдогла'сенъ, и^ косноја%зы'ченъ а%зъ е^смь”

¹⁰

And Moses said to the Lord, I pray, Lord, I have not been sufficient in former times, neither from the time that thou hast begun to speak to thy servant: I am weak in speech, and slow-tongued.

¹¹

И$ рече г~ь къ мољ=сїю кт^о дасть ё^ста` чл~кђ. кт^о ли сътвори'лъ е^сть нњма и^ глђ'ха, и^ слњпа, и^ ви'дяща. не а'зъ ли, г~ь б~ъ” и^ди

¹¹

And the Lord said to Moses, Who has given a mouth to man, and who has made the very hard of hearing, and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? have not I, God?

¹²

нн~њ, а%зъ б^о эTверзђ ёста` тво'я, и^ ё^стро'ю тя, е^же ти бђдеT гл~ати”

¹²

And now go and I will open thy mouth, and will instruct thee in what thou shalt say.

¹³

¹³

And Moses said, I pray thee, Lord, appoint another able person whom thou shalt send.

¹⁴

И$ разгнњ'вася ја%ростїю г~ь на мољ=сїя, и^ рече” Нњсть ли с^е братъ твой а^а^ро'нъ леви'тинъ, вњмъ бо ја%ко гл~я възгл~етъ. се же се'и и^зы'детъ проти'вђ тебњ, и^ ё^зрњвъ т^я възра'дђется въ себњ`”

¹⁴

And the Lord was greatly angered against Moses, and said, Lo! is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he will surely speak to thee; and, behold, he will come forth to meet thee, and beholding thee he will rejoice within himself.

¹⁵

И рече'ши е^мђ, и^ въдаси` е^мђ словеса` моя въ ё^ста` е^го. же эTвр'ъзђ ё^ста` твоа, и^ ё^ста` е^го, и^ ё^стро'ю вамъ е^же и%мате твори'ти” Се'и

¹⁵

And thou shalt speak to him; and thou shalt put my words into his mouth, and I will open thy mouth and his mouth, and I will instruct you in what ye shall do.

¹⁶

же гл~етъ эT тебе къ лю'демъ. и^ се'и же ё^бо да бђдетъ ё^ста` твоя ты' же бђди е^мђ въ б~а”

¹⁶

And he shall speak for thee to the people, and he shall be thy mouth, and thou shalt be for him in things pertaining to God.

¹⁷

И$ же'злъ се'и и^спрове'ргїися въ змїю`. възми`, въ рђкђ твою, си'мъ б^о сътвори'ши

¹⁷

And this rod that was turned into a serpent thou shalt take in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt work miracles.

¹⁸

чюдеса`” И/де же мољ=сїи, и^ възвратися къ і^ѓ^џо'рђ те'стю своемђ, и^ рече и^дђ възвращђся къ бра'тїи своей е^же сђть въ е^гљ=птњ, да ви'ждђ, е^ще' ли живи” Рече же і^ѓ^џо'ръ къ мољ=сїю. и^ди` здра'въ” по днех же ѓ^ныX мно'гихъ, ё^мре цр~ь е^гљ=пет#скїи”

¹⁸

And Moses went and returned to Jothor his father-in-law, and says, I will go and return to my brethren in Egypt, and will see if they are yet living. And Jothor said to Moses, Go in health. And in those days after some time, the king of Egypt died.

¹⁹

И$ рече г~ь къ мољ=сїю въ земли` мадїа'м#стњи, ходи`, і^ и^ди` пакы въ е^гљ=пеT, и^змро'ша б^о вси` и%щђщеи дш~а твоеа”

And Moses took his wife and his children, and mounted them on the beasts, and returned to Egypt; and Moses took the rod which he had from God in his hand.

²¹

And the Lord said to Moses, When thou goest and returnest to Egypt, see—all the miracles I have charged thee with, thou shalt work before Pharao: and I will harden his heart, and he shall certainly not send away the people.

²²

Ты' же гл~еши фараѓ'нђ, си'це гл~етъ гь б~ъ е^вре'искїи, и^ сн~ъ мои прьвенец# і^ил~ь.

²²

And thou shalt say to Pharao, These things saith the Lord, Israel is my first-born.

²³

рњх же тебњ эTпђсти` лю'ди моя да м^и требђ положа'тъ, не хо'щеши ли эTпђсти'ти и^хъ, блюди` с^е а%зъ ё^бїю` прьвене'цъ сн~ъ твой”

²³

And I said to thee, Send away my people, that they may serve me: now if thou wilt not send them away, see, I will slay thy first-born son.

And it came to pass that the angel of the Lord met him by the way in the inn, and sought to slay him.

And Sepphora having taken a stone cut off the foreskin of her son, and fell at his feet and said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched:

²⁶

и^ рече, бысть кро'вь ѓ^брњзанїя сн~а мое^го”

²⁶

and he departed from him, because she said, The blood of the circumcision of my son is staunched.

²⁷

Рече же г~ь къ а^а^ро'нђ и^зы'ди противђ мољ=сїю въ пђсты'ню, і^ и'де” И$ срњте и& въ горњ` бж~їи и^ цњловастася ѓ%ба.
