Exodus 3

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	LXX
1 Now Moses was pasturing the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro, a priest of Midian. And when he had driven the flock into the interior of the desert, he came to the mountain of God, Horeb.	1 και μωυσης ην ποιμαινων τα προβατα ιοθορ του γαμβρου αυτου του ιερεως μαδιαμ και ηγαγεν τα προβατα υπο την ερημον και ηλθεν εις το ορος χωρηβ
2 And the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. And he saw that the bush was burning and was not burnt.	2 ωφθη δε αυτω αγγελος κυριου εν φλογι πυρος εκ του βατου και ορα οτι ο βατος καιεται πυρι ο δε βατος ου κατεκαιετο
3 Therefore, Moses said, “I will go and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.”	3 ειπεν δε μωυσης παρελθων οψομαι το οραμα το μεγα τουτο τι οτι ου κατακαιεται ο βατος
4 Then the Lord, discerning that he proceeded on to see it, called to him from the midst of the bush, and he said, “Moses, Moses.” And he responded, “Here I am.”	4 ως δε ειδεν κυριος οτι προσαγει ιδειν εκαλεσεν αυτον κυριος εκ του βατου λεγων μωυση μωυση ο δε ειπεν τι εστιν
5 And he said: “Lest you should approach here, remove the shoes from your feet. For the place on which you stand is holy ground.”	5 και ειπεν μη εγγισης ωδε λυσαι το υποδημα εκ των ποδων σου ο γαρ τοπος εν ω συ εστηκας γη αγια εστιν
6 And 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 dared not look directly at God.	6 και ειπεν αυτω εγω ειμι ο θεος του πατρος σου θεος αβρααμ και θεος ισαακ και θεος ιακωβ απεστρεψεν δε μωυσης το προσωπον αυτου ευλαβειτο γαρ κατεμβλεψαι ενωπιον του θεου
7 And the Lord said to him: “I have seen the affliction of my people in Egypt, and I have heard their outcry because of the harshness of those who are over the works.	7 ειπεν δε κυριος προς μωυσην ιδων ειδον την κακωσιν του λαου μου του εν αιγυπτω και της κραυγης αυτων ακηκοα απο των εργοδιωκτων οιδα γαρ την οδυνην αυτων
8 And knowing their sorrow, I have descended in order to free them from the hands of the Egyptians, and to lead them from that land into a good and spacious land, into a land which flows with milk and honey, to the places of the Canaanite, and Hittite, and Amorite, and Perizzite, and Hivite, and Jebusite.	8 και κατεβην εξελεσθαι αυτους εκ χειρος αιγυπτιων και εξαγαγειν αυτους εκ της γης εκεινης και εισαγαγειν αυτους εις γην αγαθην και πολλην εις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι εις τον τοπον των χαναναιων και χετταιων και αμορραιων και φερεζαιων και γεργεσαιων και ευαιων και ιεβουσαιων
9 And so, the outcry of the sons of Israel has come to me. And I have seen their affliction, with which they are oppressed by the Egyptians.	9 και νυν ιδου κραυγη των υιων ισραηλ ηκει προς με καγω εωρακα τον θλιμμον ον οι αιγυπτιοι θλιβουσιν αυτους
10 But come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may lead my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.”	10 και νυν δευρο αποστειλω σε προς φαραω βασιλεα αιγυπτου και εξαξεις τον λαον μου τους υιους ισραηλ εκ γης αιγυπτου
11 And Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should lead the sons of Israel out of Egypt?”	11 και ειπεν μωυσης προς τον θεον τις ειμι οτι πορευσομαι προς φαραω βασιλεα αιγυπτου και οτι εξαξω τους υιους ισραηλ εκ γης αιγυπτου
12 And he said to him: “I will be with you. And you will have this as a sign that I have sent you: When you will have brought my people out of Egypt, you will offer sacrifice to God upon this mountain.”	12 ειπεν δε ο θεος μωυσει λεγων οτι εσομαι μετα σου και τουτο σοι το σημειον οτι εγω σε εξαποστελλω εν τω εξαγαγειν σε τον λαον μου εξ αιγυπτου και λατρευσετε τω θεω εν τω ορει τουτω
13 Moses said to God: “Behold, I will go to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ If they say to me, ‘What is his name?’ What shall I say to them?”	13 και ειπεν μωυσης προς τον θεον ιδου εγω ελευσομαι προς τους υιους ισραηλ και ερω προς αυτους ο θεος των πατερων υμων απεσταλκεν με προς υμας ερωτησουσιν με τι ονομα αυτω τι ερω προς αυτους
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO AM.” He said: “Thus shall you say to the sons of Israel: ‘HE WHO IS has sent me to you.’ ”	14 και ειπεν ο θεος προς μωυσην εγω ειμι ο ων και ειπεν ουτως ερεις τοις υιοις ισραηλ ο ων απεσταλκεν με προς υμας
15 And God said again to Moses: “Thus shall you say to the sons of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is the name for me in eternity, and this is my memorial from generation to generation.	15 και ειπεν ο θεος παλιν προς μωυσην ουτως ερεις τοις υιοις ισραηλ κυριος ο θεος των πατερων υμων θεος αβρααμ και θεος ισαακ και θεος ιακωβ απεσταλκεν με προς υμας τουτο μου εστιν ονομα αιωνιον και μνημοσυνον γενεων γενεαις
16 Go and gather together the elders of Israel, and you shall say to them: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying: When visiting, I have visited you, and I have seen all that has befallen you in Egypt.	16 ελθων ουν συναγαγε την γερουσιαν των υιων ισραηλ και ερεις προς αυτους κυριος ο θεος των πατερων υμων ωπται μοι θεος αβρααμ και θεος ισαακ και θεος ιακωβ λεγων επισκοπη επεσκεμμαι υμας και οσα συμβεβηκεν υμιν εν αιγυπτω
17 And I have spoken in order to lead you out of the affliction of Egypt, into the land of the Canaanite, and Hittite, and Amorite, and Perizzite, and Hivite, and Jebusite, into a land flowing with milk and honey.’	17 και ειπον αναβιβασω υμας εκ της κακωσεως των αιγυπτιων εις την γην των χαναναιων και χετταιων και αμορραιων και φερεζαιων και γεργεσαιων και ευαιων και ιεβουσαιων εις γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι
18 And they shall hear your voice. And you shall enter, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall say to him: ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has called us. We shall go three days’ journey into the wilderness, in order to offer sacrifice to the Lord our God.’	18 και εισακουσονται σου της φωνης και εισελευση συ και η γερουσια ισραηλ προς φαραω βασιλεα αιγυπτου και ερεις προς αυτον ο θεος των εβραιων προσκεκληται ημας πορευσωμεθα ουν οδον τριων ημερων εις την ερημον ινα θυσωμεν τω θεω ημων
19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not release you, unless you go out by a powerful hand.	19 εγω δε οιδα οτι ου προησεται υμας φαραω βασιλευς αιγυπτου πορευθηναι εαν μη μετα χειρος κραταιας
20 For I will extend my hand, and I will strike Egypt with all my wonders that I will do in the midst of them. After these things, he will release you.	20 και εκτεινας την χειρα παταξω τους αιγυπτιους εν πασι τοις θαυμασιοις μου οις ποιησω εν αυτοις και μετα ταυτα εξαποστελει υμας
21 And I will grant favor to this people in the sight of the Egyptians. And so, when you go forth, you shall not go out empty.	21 και δωσω χαριν τω λαω τουτω εναντιον των αιγυπτιων οταν δε αποτρεχητε ουκ απελευσεσθε κενοι
22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor and of her hostess vessels of silver and of gold, as well as garments. And you shall set them upon your sons and daughters, and you shall despoil Egypt.”	22 αιτησει γυνη παρα γειτονος και συσκηνου αυτης σκευη αργυρα και χρυσα και ιματισμον και επιθησετε επι τους υιους υμων και επι τας θυγατερας υμων και σκυλευσετε τους αιγυπτιους
