출애굽기 3

1모세가 그 장인 미디안 제사장 이드로의 양무리를 치더니 그 무리를 광야 서편으로 인도하여 하나님의 산 호렙에 이르매 2여호와의 사자가 떨기나무 불꽃 가운데서 그에게 나타나시니라 그가 보니 떨기나무에 불이 붙었으나 사라지지 아니하는지라 3이에 가로되 내가 돌이켜 가서 이 큰 광경을 보리라 떨기나무가 어찌하여 타지 아니하는고 하는 동시에 4여호와께서 그가 보려고 돌이켜 오는 것을 보신지라 하나님이 떨기나무 가운데서 그를 불러 가라사대 모세야 모세야 하시매 그가 가로되 내가 여기 있나이다 5하나님이 가라사대 이리로 가까이 하지 말라 너의 선 곳은 거룩한 땅이니 네 발에서 신을 벗으라 6또 이르시되 나는 네 조상의 하나님이니 아브라함의 하나님, 이삭의 하나님, 야곱의 하나님이니라 모세가 하나님 뵈옵기를 두려워하여 얼굴을 가리우매 7여호와께서 가라사대 내가 애굽에 있는 내 백성의 고통을 정녕히 보고 그들이 그 간역자로 인하여 부르짖음을 듣고 그 우고를 알고 8내가 내려와서 그들을 애굽인의 손에서 건져내고 그들을 그 땅에서 인도하여 아름답고 광대한 땅 젖과 꿀이 흐르는 땅 곧 가나안 족속, 헷 족속, 아모리 족속, 브리스 족속, 히위 족속, 여부스 족속의 지방에 이르려 하노라 9이제 이스라엘 자손의 부르짖음이 내게 달하고 애굽 사람이 그들을 괴롭게 하는 학대도 내가 보았으니 10이제 내가 너를 바로에게 보내어 너로 내 백성 이스라엘 자손을 애굽에서 인도하여 내게 하리라 11모세가 하나님께 고하되 내가 누구관대 바로에게 가며 이스라엘 자손을 애굽에서 인도하여 내리이까 12하나님이 가라사대 내가 정녕 너와 함께 있으리라 네가 백성을 애굽에서 인도하여 낸 후에 너희가 이 산에서 하나님을 섬기리니 이것이 내가 너를 보낸 증거니라 13모세가 하나님께 고하되 내가 이스라엘 자손에게 가서 이르기를 너희 조상의 하나님이 나를 너희에게 보내셨다 하면 그들이 내게 묻기를 그의 이름이 무엇이냐 하리니 내가 무엇이라고 그들에게 말하리이까 14하나님이 모세에게 이르시되 나는 스스로 있는 자니라 또 이르시되 너는 이스라엘 자손에게 이같이 이르기를 스스로 있는 자가 나를 너희에게 보내셨다 하라 15하나님이 또 모세에게 이르시되 너는 이스라엘 자손에게 이같이 이르기를 나를 너희에게 보내신 이는 너희 조상의 하나님 곧 아브라함의 하나님, 이삭의 하나님, 야곱의 하나님 여호와라 하라 이는 나의 영원한 이름이요 대대로 기억할 나의 표호니라 16너는 가서 이스라엘 장로들을 모으고 그들에게 이르기를 여호와 너희 조상의 하나님 곧 아브라함과 이삭과 야곱의 하나님이 내게 나타나 이르시되 내가 실로 너희를 권고하여 너희가 애굽에서 당한 일을 보았노라 17내가 말하였거니와 내가 너희를 애굽의 고난 중에서 인도하여 내어 젖과 꿀이 흐르는 땅 곧 가나안 족속, 헷 족속, 아모리 족속, 브리스 족속, 히위 족속, 여부스 족속의 땅으로 올라가게 하리라 하셨다 하면 18그들이 네 말을 들으리니 너는 그들의 장로들과 함께 애굽 왕에게 이르기를 히브리 사람의 하나님 여호와께서 우리에게 임하셨은즉 우리가 우리 하나님 여호와께 희생을 드리려 하오니 사흘 길쯤 광야로 가기를 허락하소서 하라 19내가 아노니 강한 손으로 치기 전에는 애굽 왕이 너희의 가기를 허락지 아니하다가 20내가 내 손을 들어 애굽 중에 여러가지 이적으로 그 나라를 친 후에야 그가 너희를 보내리라 21내가 애굽 사람으로 이 백성에게 은혜를 입히게 할지라 너희가 갈 때에 빈 손으로 가지 아니하리니 22여인마다 그 이웃 사람과 및 자기 집에 우거하는 자에게 은 패물과 금 패물과 의복을 구하여 너희 자녀를 꾸미라 너희가 애굽 사람의 물품을 취하리라

1Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb. 2Yahweh’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3Moses said, “I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.” 4When Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!” He said, “Here I am.” 5He said, “Don’t come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.” 6Moreover he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God. 7Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 9Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” 11Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” 12He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” 13Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you;’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ What should I tell them?” 14God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” 15God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, 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 to all generations. 16Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt; 17and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’ 18They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.’ 19I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand. 20I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that he will let you go. 21I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed. 22But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”

1En Mozes hoedde de kudde van Jethro, zijn schoonvader, de priester in Midian; en hij leidde de kudde achter de woestijn, en hij kwam aan den berg Gods, aan Horeb. 2En de Engel des HEEREN verscheen hem in een vuurvlam uit het midden van een braambos; en hij zag, en ziet, het braambos brandde in het vuur, en het braambos werd niet verteerd. 3En Mozes zeide: Ik zal mij nu daarheen wenden, en bezien dat grote gezicht, waarom het braambos niet verbrandt. 4Toen de HEERE zag, dat hij zich daarheen wendde, om te bezien, zo riep God tot hem uit het midden van het braambos, en zeide: Mozes, Mozes! En hij zeide: Zie, hier ben ik! 5En Hij zeide: Nader hier niet toe; trek uw schoenen uit van uw voeten; want de plaats, waarop gij staat, is heilig land. 6Hij zeide voorts: Ik ben de God uws vaders, de God van Abraham, de God van Izak en de God van Jakob. En Mozes verborg zijn aangezicht, want hij vreesde God aan te zien. 7En de HEERE zeide: Ik heb zeer wel gezien de verdrukking Mijns volks, hetwelk in Egypte is, en heb hun geschrei gehoord, vanwege hun drijvers; want Ik heb hun smarten bekend. 8Daarom ben Ik nedergekomen, dat Ik het verlosse uit de hand der Egyptenaren, en het opvoere uit dit land, naar een goed en ruim land, naar een land, vloeiende van melk en honig, tot de plaats der Kanaanieten, en der Hethieten, en der Amorieten, en der Ferezieten, en der Hevieten, en der Jebusieten. 9En nu, zie, het geschrei der kinderen Israels is tot Mij gekomen; en ook heb Ik gezien de verdrukking, waarmede de Egyptenaars hen verdrukken. 10Zo kom nu, en Ik zal u tot Farao zenden, opdat gij Mijn volk (de kinderen Israels) uit Egypte voert. 11Toen zeide Mozes tot God: Wie ben ik, dat ik tot Farao zou gaan; en dat ik de kinderen Israels uit Egypte zou voeren? 12Hij dan zeide: Ik zal voorzeker met u zijn, en dit zal u een teken zijn, dat Ik u gezonden heb: wanneer gij dit volk uit Egypte geleid hebt, zult gijlieden God dienen op dezen berg. 13Toen zeide Mozes tot God: Zie, wanneer ik kom tot de kinderen Israels, en zeg tot hen: De God uwer vaderen heeft mij tot ulieden gezonden; en zij mij zeggen: Hoe is Zijn naam? wat zal ik tot hen zeggen? 14En God zeide tot Mozes: Ik ZAL ZIJN,, Die Ik ZIJN ZAL! Ook zeide Hij: Alzo zult gij tot de kinderen Israels zeggen: Ik ZAL ZIJN heeft mij tot ulieden gezonden! 15Toen zeide God verder tot Mozes: Aldus zult gij tot de kinderen Israels zeggen: De HEERE, de God uwer vaderen, de God van Abraham, de God van Izak, en de God van Jakob, heeft mij tot ulieden gezonden; dat is Mijn Naam eeuwiglijk, en dat is Mijn gedachtenis van geslacht tot geslacht. 16Ga heen, en verzamel de oudsten van Israel, en zeg tot hen: De HEERE, de God uwer vaderen, is mij verschenen, de God van Abraham, Izak en Jakob, zeggende: Ik heb ulieden getrouwelijk bezocht, en hetgeen ulieden in Egypte is aangedaan; 17Daarom heb Ik gezegd: Ik zal ulieden uit de verdrukking van Egypte opvoeren, tot het land der Kanaanieten, en der Hethieten, en der Amorieten, en der Ferezieten, en der Hevieten, en der Jebusieten; tot het land, vloeiende van melk en honig. 18En zij zullen uw stem horen; en gij zult gaan, gij en de oudsten van Israel, tot den koning van Egypte, en gijlieden zult tot hem zeggen: De HEERE, de God der Hebreen, is ons ontmoet; zo laat ons nu toch gaan den weg van drie dagen in de woestijn, opdat wij den HEERE, onzen God, offeren! 19Doch Ik weet, dat de koning van Egypte ulieden niet zal laten gaan, ook niet door een sterke hand. 20Want Ik zal Mijn hand uitstrekken, en Egypte slaan met al Mijn wonderen, die Ik in het midden van hetzelve doen zal; daarna zal hij ulieden laten vertrekken. 21En Ik zal dit volk genade geven in de ogen der Egyptenaren; en het zal geschieden, wanneer gijlieden uitgaan zult, zo zult gij niet ledig uitgaan. 22Maar elke vrouw zal van haar naburin, en van de waardin haars huizes, eisen zilveren vaten, en gouden vaten, en klederen; die zult gijlieden op uw zonen, en op uw dochteren leggen, en gij zult Egypte beroven.
