1Now Moses fed the sheep of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Madian: and he drove the flock to the inner parts of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, Horeb.Moyses autem pascebat oves Iethro soceri sui sacerdotis Madian: cumque minasset gregem ad interiora deserti, venit ad montem Dei Horeb.Καὶ Μωυσῆς ἦν ποιμαίνων τὰ πρόβατα Ἰοθὸρ τοῦ γαμβροῦ αὐτοῦ, τοῦ ἱερέως Μαδιὰμ, καὶ ἤγαγεν τὰ πρόβατα ὑπὸ τὴν ἔρημον, καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὸ ὄρος Χωρήβ.
2And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he saw that the bush was on fire and was not burnt.Apparuitque ei Dominus in flamma ignis de medio rubi: et videbat quod rubus arderet, et non combureretur.Ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ Ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐν πυρὶ φλογὸς ἐκ τοῦ βάτου· καὶ ὁρᾷ ὅτι ὁ βάτος καίεται πυρί, ὁ δὲ βάτος οὐ κατεκαίετο.
3And Moses said: I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.Dixit ergo Moyses: Vadam, et videbo visionem hanc magnam, quare non comburatur rubus.Εἶπε δὲ Μωυσῆς, παρελθὼν ὄψομαι τὸ ὅραμα τὸ μέγα τοῦτο, ὅτι οὐ κατακαίεται ὁ βάτος.
4And when the Lord saw that he went forward to see, he called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said: Moses, Moses. And he answered: Here I am.Cernens autem Dominus quod pergeret ad videndum, vocavit eum de medio rubi, et ait: Moyses, Moyses. Qui respondit: Adsum.Ὡς δὲ εἶδεν Κύριος ὅτι προσάγει ἰδεῖν, ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Κύριος ἐκ τοῦ βάτου, λέγων, Μωυσῆ, Μωυσῆ· ὁ δὲ εἶπε, τί ἐστιν;
5And he said: Come not nigh hither, put off the shoes from thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.At ille: Ne appropies, inquit, huc: solve calceamentum de pedibus tuis: locus enim, in quo stas, terra sancta est.Ὁ δὲ εἶπε, μὴ ἐγγίσῃς ὧδε· λύσαι τὸ ὑπόδημα ἐκ τῶν ποδῶν σου, ὁ γὰρ τόπος. ἐν ᾧ σὺ ἕστηκας, γῆ ἁγία ἐστί.
6And he said: I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Moses hid his face: for he durst not look at God.Et ait: Ego sum Deus patris tui, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac et Deus Iacob. Abscondit Moyses faciem suam: non enim audebat aspicere contra Deum.Καὶ εἶπεν, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Θεὸς τοῦ πατρός σου, Θεὸς Ἁβραὰμ, καὶ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Θεὸς Ἰακώβ· ἀπέστρεψε δὲ Μωυσῆς τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ, εὐλαβεῖτο γὰρ κατεμβλέψαι ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
7And the Lord said to him: I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of the rigour of them that are over the works:Cui ait Dominus: Vidi afflictionem populi mei in Aegypto, et clamorem eius audivi propter duritiam eorum qui praesunt operibus:Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, ἰδὼν εἶδον τὴν κάκωσιν τοῦ λαοῦ μου τοῦ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ τῆς κραυγῆς αὐτῶν ἀκήκοα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐργοδιωκτῶν· οἶδα γὰρ τὴν ὀδύνην αὐτων,
8And knowing their sorrow, I am come down to deliver them out of the hands of the Egyptians, and to bring them out of that land into a good and spacious land, into a land that floweth with milk and honey, to the places of the Chanaanite, and Hethite, and Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite.et sciens dolorem eius, descendi ut liberem eum de manibus Aegyptiorum, et educam de terra illa in terram bonam, et spatiosam, in terram quae fluit lacte et melle, ad loca Chananaei et Hethaei, et Amorrhaei, et Pherezaei, et Hevaei, et Iebusaei.καὶ κατέβην ἐξελέσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν Αἰγυπτίων, καὶ ἐξαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς γῆς ἐκείνης, καὶ εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτοὺς εἰς γῆν ἀγαθὴν καὶ πολλήν, εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι, εἰς τὸν τόπον τῶν Χαναναίων, καὶ Χετταίων, καὶ Ἀμοῤῥαίων, καὶ Φερεζαίων, καὶ Γεργεσαὶων, καὶ Εὐαίων, καὶ Ἰεβουσαίων.
9For the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have seen their affliction, wherewith they are oppressed by the Egyptians.Clamor ergo filiorum Israël venit ad me: vidique afflictionem eorum, qua ab Aegyptiis opprimuntur.Καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ κραυγὴ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἥκει πρὸς με· κᾀγὼ ἑώρακα τὸν θλιμμὸν, ὃν οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι θλίβουσιν αὐτούς.
10But come, and I will send thee to Pharao, that thou mayst bring forth my people, the children of Israel out of Egypt.Sed veni, et mittam te ad Pharaonem, ut educas populum meum, filios Israël, de Aegypto.Καὶ νῦν δεῦρο, ἀποστείλω σε πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἐξάξεις τὸν λαόν μου τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
11And Moses said to God: Who am I that I should go to Pharao, and should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?Dixitque Moyses ad Deum: Quis sum ego ut vadam ad Pharaonem, et educam filios Israël de Aegypto?Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, τίς εἰμι ἐγὼ, ὅτι πορεύσομαι πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ὅτι ἐξάξω τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου;
12And he said to him: I will be with thee: and this thou shalt have for a sign, that I have sent thee: When thou shalt have brought my people out of Egypt, thou shalt offer sacrifice to God upon this mountain.Qui dixit ei: Ego ero tecum: et hoc habebis signum, quod miserim te: cum eduxeris populum meum de Aegypto, immolabis Deo super montem istum.Εἶπε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς Μωυσῇ, λέγων, ὅτι ἔσομαι μετὰ σοῦ· καὶ τοῦτό σοι τὸ σημεῖον ὅτι ἐγώ σε ἐξαποστελῶ, ἐν τῷ ἐξαγαγεῖν σε τὸν λαόν μου ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ λατρεύσετε τῷ Θεῷ ἐν τῷ ὄρει τοῦτῳ.
13Moses said to God: Lo, I shall go to the children of Israel, and say to them: The God of your fathers hath sent me to you. If they should say to me: What is his name? what shall I say to them?Ait Moyses ad Deum: Ecce ego vadam ad filios Israël, et dicam eis: Deus patrum vestrorum misit me ad vos. Si dixerint mihi: Quod est nomen eius? quid dicam eis?Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξελεύσομαι πρὸς τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ἀπέσταλκέ με πρὸς ὑμᾶς· ἐρωτήσουσί με, τί ὄνομα αὐτῷ; τί ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτούς;
14God said to Moses: I AM WHO AM. He said: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: HE WHO IS, hath sent me to you.Dixit Deus ad Moysen: Ego sum qui sum. Ait: Sic dices filiis Israël: Qui est, misit me ad vos.Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων, ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ Ὤν· καὶ εἶπεν, οὕτως ἐρεῖς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, ὁ Ὢν ἀπέσταλκέ με πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
15And God said again to Moses: Thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me to you: This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.Dixitque iterum Deus ad Moysen: Haec dices filiis Israël: Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac et Deus Iacob, misit me ad vos: hoc nomen mihi est in aeternum, et hoc memoriale meum in generationem et generationem.Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Θεὸς πάλιν πρὸς Μωυσῆν, οὕτως ἐρεῖς τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ, Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Θεὸς Ἰακὼβ, ἀπέσταλκέ με πρὸς ὑμᾶς· τοῦτό μου ἐστὶν ὄνομα αἰώνιον, καὶ μνημόσυνον γενεῶν γενεαῖς.
16Go, gather together the ancients of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying: Visiting I have visited you: and I have seen all that hath befallen you in Egypt.Vade, et congrega seniores Israël, et dices ad eos: Dominus Deus patrum vestrorum apparuit mihi, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac et Deus Iacob, dicens: Visitans visitavi vos: et vidi omnia quae acciderunt vobis in Aegypto.Ἐλθὼν οὐν συνάγαγε τὴν γερουσίαν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτοὺς, Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμων ὦπταί μοι, Θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ, καὶ Θεὸς Ἰσαὰκ, καὶ Θεὸς Ἰακὼβ, λέγων, ἐπισκοπῇ ἐπέσκεμμαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ ὅσα συμβέβηκεν ὑμῖν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ.
17And I have said the word to bring you forth out of the affliction of Egypt, into the land of the Chanaanite, the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and Pherezite, and Hevite, and Jebusite, to a land that floweth with milk and honey.Et dixi ut educam vos de afflictione Aegypti in terram Chananaei, et Hethaei, et Amorrhaei, et Pherezaei, et Hevaei, et Iebusaei, ad terram fluentem lacte et melle.Καὶ εἶπεν, ἀναβιβάσω ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς κακώσεως τῶν Αἰγυπτίων, εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων, καὶ Χετταίων, καὶ Ἀμοῤῥαίων, καὶ Φερεζαίων, καὶ Γεργεσαίων, καὶ Εὑαίων, καὶ Ἰεβουσαίων, εἰς γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι.
18And they shall hear thy voice: and thou shalt go in, thou and the ancients of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and thou shalt say to him: The Lord God of the Hebrews hath called us: we will go three days’ journey into the wilderness, to sacrifice unto the Lord our God.Et audient vocem tuam: ingredierisque tu, et seniores Israël, ad regem Aegypti, et dices ad eum: Dominus Deus Hebraeorum vocavit nos: ibimus viam trium dierum in solitudinem, ut immolemus Domino Deo nostro.Καὶ εἰσακούσονταί σου τῆς φωνῆς· καὶ εἰσελεύσῃ σὺ, καὶ ἡ γερουσία Ἰσραὴλ, πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Θεὸς τῶν Ἑβραίων προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς· πορευσόμεθα οὖν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, ἵνα θύσωμεν τῷ Θεῷ ἡμῶν.
19But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go, but by a mighty hand.Sed ego scio quod non dimittet vos rex Aegypti ut eatis nisi per manum validam.Ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα ὅτι οὐ προήσεται ὑμᾶς Φαραὼ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου πορευθῆναι, ἐὰν μὴ μετὰ χειρὸς κραταιᾶς.
20For I will stretch forth my hand and will strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst of them: after these he will let you go.Extendam enim manum meam, et percutiam Aegyptum in cunctis mirabilibus meis, quae facturus sum in medio eorum: post haec dimittet vos.Καὶ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα, πατάξω τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς θαυμασίοις μου, οἷς ποιήσω ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἐξαποστελεῖ ὑμᾶς.
21And I will give favour to this people, in the sight of the Egyptians: and when you go forth, you shall not depart empty:Daboque gratiam populo huic coram Aegyptiis: et cum egrediemini, non exibitis vacui:Καὶ δώσω χάριν τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ ἐναντίον τῶν Αἰγυπτίων· ὅταν δὲ ἀποτρέχητε, οὐκ ἀπελεύσεσθε κενοί·
22But every woman shall ask of her neighbour, and of her that is in her house, vessels of silver and of gold, and raiment: and you shall put them on your sons and daughters, and shall spoil Egypt.sed postulabit mulier a vicina sua et ab hospita sua, vasa argentea et aurea, ac vestes: ponetisque eas super filios et filias vestras, et spoliabitis Aegyptum.Ἀλλὰ αἰτήσει γυνὴ παρὰ γείτονος καὶ συσκήνου αὐτῆς σκεύη ἀργυρᾶ, καὶ χρυσᾶ, καὶ ἱματισμόν· καὶ ἐπιθήσετε ἐπὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν, καὶ σκυλεύσατε τοὺς Αἰγυπτίους.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
