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?

¹

Ѿвѣща́ же мѡѷсе́й и҆ речѐ: а҆́ще не оу҆вѣ́рꙋютъ мѝ, нижѐ послꙋ́шаютъ гла́са моегѡ̀, рекꙋ́тъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ꙗ҆ви́сѧ тебѣ̀ бг҃ъ, что̀ рекꙋ̀ къ ни̑мъ;

²

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

²

И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: что̀ сїѐ є҆́сть въ рꙋцѣ̀ твое́й; Ѻ҆́нъ же речѐ: же́злъ.

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.

³

И҆ речѐ: пове́рзи є҆го̀ на зе́млю. И҆ ве́рже и҆̀ на зе́млю, и҆ бы́сть ѕмі́й: и҆ ѿбѣжѐ мѡѷсе́й ѿ негѡ̀.

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,

⁴

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: прострѝ рꙋ́кꙋ и҆ и҆мѝ за хво́стъ. Просте́ръ оу҆̀бо рꙋ́кꙋ, взѧ̀ за хво́стъ, и҆ бы́сть же́злъ въ рꙋцѣ̀ є҆гѡ̀.

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.

⁵

Да оу҆вѣ́рꙋютъ тѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ꙗ҆ви́сѧ тебѣ̀ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ѻ҆тє́цъ твои́хъ, бг҃ъ а҆враа́мовъ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆саа́ковъ и҆ бг҃ъ і҆а́кѡвль.

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.

⁶

Рече́ же є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь па́ки: вложѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ въ нѣ́дро твоѐ. И҆ вложѝ рꙋ́кꙋ въ нѣ́дро своѐ, и҆ и҆з̾ѧ́тъ ю҆̀ ѿ нѣ́дра своегѡ̀, и҆ бы́сть рꙋка̀ є҆гѡ̀ прокаже́на ꙗ҆́кѡ снѣ́гъ.

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.

⁷

И҆ речѐ па́ки є҆мꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇ь: вложѝ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀ въ нѣ́дро твоѐ. И҆ вложѝ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀ въ нѣ́дро своѐ, и҆ и҆з̾ѧ́тъ ю҆̀ ѿ нѣ́дра своегѡ̀, и҆ бы́сть па́ки въ рꙋмѧ́нствѣ пло́ти своеѧ̀.

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.

⁸

А҆́ще же не оу҆вѣ́рꙋютъ тебѣ̀, нижѐ послꙋ́шаютъ гла́са зна́менїѧ пе́рвагѡ, оу҆вѣ́рꙋютъ тебѣ̀ ра́ди гла́са зна́менїѧ втора́гѡ:

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.

⁹

и҆ бꙋ́детъ а҆́ще не оу҆вѣ́рꙋютъ тебѣ̀ двѣма̀ зна́менїѧми си́ми, нижѐ послꙋ́шаютъ гла́са твоегѡ̀, да во́змеши ѿ воды̀ рѣ́чныѧ, и҆ пролїе́ши на сꙋ́хо: и҆ бꙋ́детъ вода̀, ю҆́же во́змеши ѿ рѣкѝ, кро́вїю на сꙋ́сѣ.

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.

¹⁰

Рече́ же мѡѷсе́й ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ: молю́сѧ тѝ, гдⷭ҇и: недоброрѣ́чивъ є҆́смь пре́жде вчера́шнѧгѡ и҆ тре́тїѧгѡ днѐ, нижѐ ѿне́лѣже нача́лъ є҆сѝ гл҃ати рабꙋ̀ твоемꙋ̀: хꙋдогла́сенъ и҆ косноѧзы́ченъ а҆́зъ є҆́смь.

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?

¹¹

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: кто̀ дадѐ оу҆ста̀ человѣ́кꙋ; и҆ кто̀ сотворѝ нѣ́ма и҆ глꙋ́ха, и҆ ви́дѧща и҆ слѣ́па; не а҆́зъ ли гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ;

¹²

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

¹²

и҆ нн҃ѣ и҆дѝ, и҆ а҆́зъ ѿве́рзꙋ оу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑ и҆ оу҆стро́ю тебѣ̀, є҆́же и҆́маши глаго́лати.

¹³

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

¹³

Рече́ же мѡѷсе́й: молю́сѧ тѝ, гдⷭ҇и, и҆зберѝ могꙋ́ща и҆но́го, є҆го́же по́слеши.

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.

¹⁴

И҆ разгнѣ́вавсѧ ꙗ҆́ростїю гдⷭ҇ь на мѡѷсе́а, речѐ: не се́ ли бра́тъ тво́й а҆арѡ́нъ леѵі́тинъ; вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ глаго́лѧ возглаго́летъ ѻ҆́нъ вмѣ́стѡ тебє̀: и҆ сѐ, то́й и҆зы́детъ во срѣ́тенїе тебѣ̀, и҆ оу҆зрѣ́въ тѧ̀, возра́дꙋетсѧ въ себѣ̀:

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.

¹⁵

и҆ рече́ши къ немꙋ̀, и҆ вда́си словеса̀ моѧ̑ во оу҆ста̀ є҆гѡ̀: а҆́зъ же ѿве́рзꙋ оу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑ и҆ оу҆ста̀ є҆гѡ̀, и҆ оу҆стро́ю ва́мъ ꙗ҆̀же и҆́мате твори́ти:

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.

¹⁶

и҆ то́й возглаго́летъ ѿ тебє̀ къ лю́демъ, и҆ то́й бꙋ́детъ оу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑: ты́ же бꙋ́деши є҆мꙋ̀ въ тѣ́хъ, ꙗ҆̀же къ бг҃ꙋ:

¹⁷

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

¹⁷

и҆ же́злъ се́й ѡ҆браще́нный въ ѕмїю̀, возмѝ въ рꙋ́кꙋ твою̀, си́мъ сотвори́ши зна́мєнїѧ.

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.

¹⁸

По́йде же мѡѷсе́й, и҆ возврати́сѧ ко і҆оѳо́рꙋ те́стю своемꙋ̀ и҆ речѐ: пойдꙋ̀ и҆ возвращꙋ́сѧ ко бра́тїи мое́й, и҆̀же во є҆гѵ́птѣ, и҆ оу҆ви́ждꙋ, а҆́ще є҆щѐ жи́ви сꙋ́ть. И҆ речѐ і҆оѳо́ръ къ мѡѷсе́ю: и҆дѝ здра́въ. По дне́хъ же ѻ҆́ныхъ мно́гихъ, оу҆́мре ца́рь є҆гѵ́петскїй.

¹⁹

And the Lord said to Moses in Madiam, Go, depart into Egypt, for all that sought thy life are dead.

¹⁹

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю въ землѝ мадїа́мстѣй: и҆дѝ, ѿидѝ во є҆гѵ́петъ: и҆змро́ша бо всѝ и҆́щꙋщїи дꙋшѝ твоеѧ̀.

²⁰

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.

²⁰

Пои́мъ же мѡѷсе́й женꙋ̀ свою̀ и҆ ѻ҆троча́та, всадѝ ѧ҆̀ на ѻ҆слѧ́та, и҆ возврати́сѧ во є҆гѵ́петъ. И҆ взѧ̀ мѡѷсе́й же́злъ, и҆́же ѿ бг҃а, въ рꙋ́кꙋ свою̀.

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.

²¹

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: и҆дꙋ́щꙋ тебѣ̀ и҆ возвраща́ющꙋсѧ во є҆гѵ́петъ, зрѝ всѧ̑ чꙋдеса̀, ꙗ҆̀же да́хъ въ рꙋ́цѣ твоѝ, да сотвори́ши ѧ҆̀ пред̾ фараѡ́номъ: а҆́зъ же ѡ҆жесточꙋ̀ се́рдце є҆гѡ̀, и҆ не ѿпꙋ́ститъ люді́й:

²²

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

²²

ты́ же возглаго́леши фараѡ́нꙋ: сїѧ̑ гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ є҆вре́йскїй: сы́нъ мо́й пе́рвенецъ і҆и҃ль:

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.

²³

рѣ́хъ же тебѣ̀: ѿпꙋстѝ лю́ди моѧ̑, да мѝ послꙋ́жатъ: а҆́ще оу҆́бѡ не хо́щеши ѿпꙋсти́ти и҆̀хъ, блюдѝ оу҆̀бо, а҆́зъ оу҆бїю̀ сы́на твоего̀ пе́рвенца.

²⁴

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

²⁴

Бы́сть же на пꙋтѝ на станꙋ̀, срѣ́те є҆го̀ а҆́гг҃лъ гдⷭ҇нь и҆ и҆ска́ше є҆го̀ оу҆би́ти.

²⁵

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:

²⁵

И҆ взе́мши сепфѡ́ра ка́мень, ѡ҆брѣ́за коне́чнꙋю пло́ть сы́на своегѡ̀, и҆ припадѐ къ нога́мъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ речѐ: ста̀ кро́вь ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ сы́на моегѡ̀.

²⁶

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

²⁶

И҆ ѿи́де ѿ негѡ̀ а҆́гг҃лъ, зане́же речѐ: ста̀ кро́вь ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ сы́на моегѡ̀.

²⁷

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 they kissed each other.

²⁷

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь ко а҆арѡ́нꙋ: и҆зы́ди во срѣ́тенїе мѡѷсе́ю въ пꙋсты́ню. И҆ и҆́де, и҆ срѣ́те є҆го̀ въ горѣ̀ бж҃їи: и҆ цѣлова́стасѧ ѻ҆́ба.

²⁸

And Moses reported to Aaron all the words of the Lord, which he sent, and all the things which he charged him.

²⁸

И҆ повѣ́да мѡѷсе́й а҆арѡ́нꙋ всѧ̑ словеса̀ гдⷭ҇нѧ, ꙗ҆̀же посла̀, и҆ всѧ̑ зна́мєнїѧ, ꙗ҆̀же заповѣ́да є҆мꙋ̀.

²⁹

And Moses and Aaron went and gathered the elders of the children of Israel.

²⁹

И҆́де же мѡѷсе́й и҆ а҆арѡ́нъ, и҆ собра́ша всѧ̑ ста́рцы сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ:

³⁰

And Aaron spoke all these words, which God spoke to Moses, and wrought the miracles before the people.

³⁰

и҆ глаго́ла и҆̀мъ а҆арѡ́нъ всѧ̑ словеса̀ сїѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же гл҃а бг҃ъ къ мѡѷсе́ю: и҆ сотворѝ зна́мєнїѧ пред̾ людьмѝ.

³¹

And the people believed and rejoiced, because God visited the children of Israel, and because he saw their affliction: and the people bowed and worshipped.

³¹

И҆ вѣ́роваша лю́дїе, и҆ возра́довашасѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ посѣтѝ бг҃ъ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ призрѣ̀ на и҆́хъ скорбѣ́нїе: и҆ прекло́ншесѧ лю́дїе поклони́шасѧ.
