Kniha Exodus

1 (KJV) And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
1 (KAT) Potom Mojžiš a Áron išli a vraveli faraónovi: „Toto ti odkazuje Pán, Boh Izraela: »Prepusť môj ľud, aby mi na púšti pripravil slávnosť!«“

2 (KJV) And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
2 (KAT) Faraón však odvetil: „Kto je Pán, aby som ho počúval a prepustil Izrael? Pána nepoznám a Izrael neprepustím!“

3 (KJV) And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
3 (KAT) Vtedy mu povedali: „Zjavil sa nám Boh Hebrejov. Máme ísť na tri dni cesty do púšte a tam priniesť Pánovi, nášmu Bohu, obetu, aby nás nenavštívil morom alebo mečom.“

4 (KJV) And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
4 (KAT) Ale egyptský kráľ im odvetil: „Mojžiš a Áron, prečo chcete odviesť ľud od jeho práce? Len choďte za svojou robotou!“

5 (KJV) And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
5 (KAT) A faraón ešte hovoril: „Ľudu v krajine je veľa a vy by ste im chceli dožičiť odpočinok od robôt?!“

6 (KJV) And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
6 (KAT) A v ten istý deň faraón prikázal dozorcom a predákom ľudu:

7 (KJV) Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
7 (KAT) „Nabudúce nedodávajte ľudu slamu na výrobu tehál ako doteraz. Sami nech si idú nazbierať slamy!

8 (KJV) And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
8 (KAT) Ale vy žiadajte od nich také množstvo tehál, aké vyrábali doteraz. Nič im nezľavujte, lebo sú leniví! Veď prečo kričia: »Chceme odísť, chceme obetovať nášmu Bohu!«?

9 (KJV) Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
9 (KAT) Robotou treba týchto ľudí pritisnúť, aby sa starali o ňu a nestarali sa o hlúpe reči!“

10 (KJV) And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
10 (KAT) Dozorcovia (prác) a zapisovatelia šli a povedali ľudu: „Toto hovorí faraón: »Slamu vám už nedodám.

11 (KJV) Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
11 (KAT) Sami si choďte zbierať slamu, kde nájdete! Z vašej úlohy sa však nič nezľaví!«“

12 (KJV) So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
12 (KAT) A ľud sa rozpŕchol po celej egyptskej krajine zbierať slamu na tehlu.

13 (KJV) And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
13 (KAT) Dozorcovia však naliehali a vraveli: „Konajte si svoju prácu ako vtedy, keď bola slama!“

14 (KJV) And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
14 (KAT) A bili izraelských predákov, na ktorých dozorcovia zvaľovali vinu a hovorili: „Prečo ste včera a dnes nevyhotovili také množstvo tehál ako doteraz?“

15 (KJV) Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
15 (KAT) I pobrali sa predáci izraelského ľudu a sťažovali si u faraóna: „Prečo tak nakladáš so svojimi sluhami?

16 (KJV) There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.
16 (KAT) Slama sa nedodáva tvojim sluhom, ale »tehly - hovoria nám - len vyrábajte!« Ešte aj bijú tvojich sluhov! Veru, krivdíš svojmu ľudu!“

17 (KJV) But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
17 (KAT) On však odvetil: „Leniví ste, leniví! Preto žiadate: »Chceme odísť, aby sme obetovali Pánovi.«

18 (KJV) Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
18 (KAT) A už sa berte, pracujte! Slama sa vám nedodá, ale množstvo tehál odovzdáte!“

19 (KJV) And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.
19 (KAT) Tu videli izraelskí predáci, že sú v zlom položení, lebo sa im prikazovalo: „Nič sa vám nezľaví z vašej dennej výroby tehál!“

20 (KJV) And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
20 (KAT) Keď vyšli od faraóna, stretli sa s Mojžišom a Áronom, ktorí na nich čakali, a povedali im:

21 (KJV) And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
21 (KAT) „Nech vás vidí Pán a nech súdi! Veď ste nás urobili nenávidenými v očiach faraóna a jeho služobníkov. Meč ste mu vtisli do rúk, aby nás povraždil!“

22 (KJV) And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
22 (KAT) Nato sa Mojžiš obrátil na Pána a prosil: „Pane, prečo dávaš tomuto ľudu toľko trpieť?

23 (KJV) For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
23 (KAT) Veď odvtedy, čo som vkročil k faraónovi, aby som hovoril v tvojom mene, on gniavi tento ľud a ty svoj národ vôbec nevyslobodzuješ!“
