LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 απεκριθη δε μωυσης και ειπεν εαν ουν μη πιστευσωσιν μοι μηδε εισακουσωσιν της φωνης μου ερουσιν γαρ οτι ουκ ωπται σοι ο θεος τι ερω προς αυτους	1 Responding, Moses said, “They will not believe me, and they will not listen to my voice, but they will say: ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’ ”
2 ειπεν δε αυτω κυριος τι τουτο εστιν το εν τη χειρι σου ο δε ειπεν ραβδος	2 Therefore, he said to him, “What is that you hold in your hand?” He answered, “A staff.”
3 και ειπεν ριψον αυτην επι την γην και ερριψεν αυτην επι την γην και εγενετο οφις και εφυγεν μωυσης απ' αυτου	3 And the Lord said, “Cast it down upon the ground.” He cast it down, and it was turned into a snake, so that Moses fled away.
4 και ειπεν κυριος προς μωυσην εκτεινον την χειρα και επιλαβου της κερκου εκτεινας ουν την χειρα επελαβετο της κερκου και εγενετο ραβδος εν τη χειρι αυτου	4 And the Lord said, “Reach out your hand, and take hold of its tail.” He reached out his hand and took hold, and it was turned into a staff.
5 ινα πιστευσωσιν σοι οτι ωπται σοι κυριος ο θεος των πατερων αυτων θεος αβρααμ και θεος ισαακ και θεος ιακωβ	5 “So may they believe,” he said, “that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
6 ειπεν δε αυτω κυριος παλιν εισενεγκε την χειρα σου εις τον κολπον σου και εισηνεγκεν την χειρα αυτου εις τον κολπον αυτου και εξηνεγκεν την χειρα αυτου εκ του κολπου αυτου και εγενηθη η χειρ αυτου ωσει χιων	6 And the Lord said again, “Put your hand into your bosom.” And when he had put it into his bosom, he brought it out leprous, resembling snow.
7 και ειπεν παλιν εισενεγκε την χειρα σου εις τον κολπον σου και εισηνεγκεν την χειρα εις τον κολπον αυτου και εξηνεγκεν αυτην εκ του κολπου αυτου και παλιν απεκατεστη εις την χροαν της σαρκος αυτου	7 “Put your hand back,” he said, “into your bosom.” He put it back and brought it out again, and it was like the rest of his flesh.
8 εαν δε μη πιστευσωσιν σοι μηδε εισακουσωσιν της φωνης του σημειου του πρωτου πιστευσουσιν σοι της φωνης του σημειου του εσχατου	8 “If they will not believe you,” he said, “and will not listen to the sermon of the first sign, then they will believe the word of the subsequent sign.
9 και εσται εαν μη πιστευσωσιν σοι τοις δυσι σημειοις τουτοις μηδε εισακουσωσιν της φωνης σου λημψη απο του υδατος του ποταμου και εκχεεις επι το ξηρον και εσται το υδωρ ο εαν λαβης απο του ποταμου αιμα επι του ξηρου	9 But if they will not believe even these two signs, and they will not listen to your voice: take from the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land, and whatever you will have drawn from the river will be turned into blood.”
10 ειπεν δε μωυσης προς κυριον δεομαι κυριε ουχ ικανος ειμι προ της εχθες ουδε προ της τριτης ημερας ουδε αφ' ου ηρξω λαλειν τω θεραποντι σου ισχνοφωνος και βραδυγλωσσος εγω ειμι	10 Moses said: “I beg you, O Lord, I was not eloquent yesterday or the day before. And from the time that you have spoken to your servant, I have a greater impediment and slowness of tongue.”
11 ειπεν δε κυριος προς μωυσην τις εδωκεν στομα ανθρωπω και τις εποιησεν δυσκωφον και κωφον βλεποντα και τυφλον ουκ εγω ο θεος	11 The Lord said to him: “Who made the mouth of man? And who has formed the mute and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? Was it not I?
12 και νυν πορευου και εγω ανοιξω το στομα σου και συμβιβασω σε ο μελλεις λαλησαι	12 Go on, therefore, and I will be in your mouth. And I will teach you what you shall say.”
13 και ειπεν μωυσης δεομαι κυριε προχειρισαι δυναμενον αλλον ον αποστελεις	13 But he said, “I beg you, O Lord, send whomever else you would send.”
14 και θυμωθεις οργη κυριος επι μωυσην ειπεν ουκ ιδου ααρων ο αδελφος σου ο λευιτης επισταμαι οτι λαλων λαλησει αυτος σοι και ιδου αυτος εξελευσεται εις συναντησιν σοι και ιδων σε χαρησεται εν εαυτω	14 The Lord, being angry at Moses, said: “Aaron the Levite is your brother. I know that he is eloquent. Behold, he is going out to meet you, and seeing you, he will rejoice in heart.
15 και ερεις προς αυτον και δωσεις τα ρηματα μου εις το στομα αυτου και εγω ανοιξω το στομα σου και το στομα αυτου και συμβιβασω υμας α ποιησετε	15 Speak to him, and put my words in his mouth. And I will be in your mouth and in his mouth, and I will reveal to you what you must do.
16 και αυτος σοι προσλαλησει προς τον λαον και αυτος εσται σου στομα συ δε αυτω εση τα προς τον θεον	16 He will speak for you to the people, and he will be your mouth. But you will be with him in those things that pertain to God.
17 και την ραβδον ταυτην την στραφεισαν εις οφιν λημψη εν τη χειρι σου εν η ποιησεις εν αυτη τα σημεια	17 Also, take this staff into your hand; with it you will accomplish the signs.”
18 επορευθη δε μωυσης και απεστρεψεν προς ιοθορ τον γαμβρον αυτου και λεγει πορευσομαι και αποστρεψω προς τους αδελφους μου τους εν αιγυπτω και οψομαι ει ετι ζωσιν και ειπεν ιοθορ μωυση βαδιζε υγιαινων	18 Moses went forth, and he returned to Jethro, his father in law, and he said to him, “I shall go and return to my brothers in Egypt, so that I may see if they are still alive.” And Jethro said to him, “Go in peace.”
19 μετα δε τας ημερας τας πολλας εκεινας ετελευτησεν ο βασιλευς αιγυπτου ειπεν δε κυριος προς μωυσην εν μαδιαμ βαδιζε απελθε εις αιγυπτον τεθνηκασιν γαρ παντες οι ζητουντες σου την ψυχην	19 And so the Lord said to Moses in Midian: “Go, and return to Egypt. For all those who sought your life have died.”
20 αναλαβων δε μωυσης την γυναικα και τα παιδια ανεβιβασεν αυτα επι τα υποζυγια και επεστρεψεν εις αιγυπτον ελαβεν δε μωυσης την ραβδον την παρα του θεου εν τη χειρι αυτου	20 Therefore, Moses took his wife and his sons, and he placed them upon a donkey, and he returned into Egypt, carrying the staff of God in his hand.
21 ειπεν δε κυριος προς μωυσην πορευομενου σου και αποστρεφοντος εις αιγυπτον ορα παντα τα τερατα α εδωκα εν ταις χερσιν σου ποιησεις αυτα εναντιον φαραω εγω δε σκληρυνω την καρδιαν αυτου και ου μη εξαποστειλη τον λαον	21 And the Lord said to him, as he was returning to Egypt: “See that you accomplish, in the sight of Pharaoh, all the wonders that I have placed in your hand. I will harden his heart, and he will not release the people.
22 συ δε ερεις τω φαραω ταδε λεγει κυριος υιος πρωτοτοκος μου ισραηλ	22 And you shall say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Israel is my firstborn son.
23 ειπα δε σοι εξαποστειλον τον λαον μου ινα μοι λατρευση ει μεν ουν μη βουλει εξαποστειλαι αυτους ορα ουν εγω αποκτενω τον υιον σου τον πρωτοτοκον	23 I have said to you: Release my son, so that he may serve me. And you were not willing to release him. Behold, I will put to death your firstborn son.’ ”
24 εγενετο δε εν τη οδω εν τω καταλυματι συνηντησεν αυτω αγγελος κυριου και εζητει αυτον αποκτειναι	24 And while he was on the journey, at an inn, the Lord met him, and he was willing to kill him.
25 και λαβουσα σεπφωρα ψηφον περιετεμεν την ακροβυστιαν του υιου αυτης και προσεπεσεν προς τους ποδας και ειπεν εστη το αιμα της περιτομης του παιδιου μου	25 For this reason, Zipporah took a very sharp stone, and she circumcised the foreskin of her son, and she touched his feet, and she said, “You are a bloody spouse to me.”
26 και απηλθεν απ' αυτου διοτι ειπεν εστη το αιμα της περιτομης του παιδιου μου	26 And he released him, after she had said, “You are a bloody spouse,” because of the circumcision.
27 ειπεν δε κυριος προς ααρων πορευθητι εις συναντησιν μωυσει εις την ερημον και επορευθη και συνηντησεν αυτω εν τω ορει του θεου και κατεφιλησαν αλληλους	27 Then the Lord said to Aaron, “Go into the desert to meet Moses.” And he went directly to meet him on the mountain of God, and he kissed him.
28 και ανηγγειλεν μωυσης τω ααρων παντας τους λογους κυριου ους απεστειλεν και παντα τα σημεια α ενετειλατο αυτω	28 And Moses explained to Aaron all the words of the Lord, by which he had sent him, and the signs which he had commanded.
29 επορευθη δε μωυσης και ααρων και συνηγαγον την γερουσιαν των υιων ισραηλ	29 And they arrived at the same time, and they gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.
30 και ελαλησεν ααρων παντα τα ρηματα ταυτα α ελαλησεν ο θεος προς μωυσην και εποιησεν τα σημεια εναντιον του λαου	30 And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had said to Moses. And he accomplished the signs in the sight of the people,
31 και επιστευσεν ο λαος και εχαρη οτι επεσκεψατο ο θεος τους υιους ισραηλ και οτι ειδεν αυτων την θλιψιν κυψας δε ο λαος προσεκυνησεν	31 and the people believed. And they heard that the Lord had visited the sons of Israel, and that he had looked with favor upon their affliction. And falling prostrate, they worshiped.
