RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 But the Lord told Moses, “Now you'll see what I'm going to do to Pharaoh. Using my great strength I will force him to let them go; because of my power he will send them out from his country.”
1 JEHOVÁ respondió á Moisés: Ahora verás lo que yo haré á Faraón; porque con mano fuerte los ha de dejar ir; y con mano fuerte los ha de echar de su tierra.
2 God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh!
2 Habló todavía Dios á Moisés, y díjole: Yo soy JEHOVÁ;
3 I revealed myself as God Almighty to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, but they didn't know my name, ‘Yahweh.’
3 Y aparecí á Abraham, á Isaac y á Jacob bajo [el nombre de] Dios Omnipotente, mas en mi nombre JEHOVÁ no me notifiqué á ellos.
4 I also confirmed my solemn agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country where they were living as foreigners.
4 Y también establecí mi pacto con ellos, de darles la tierra de Canaán, la tierra en que fueron extranjeros, y en la cual peregrinaron.
5 In addition I've heard the groans of the Israelites that the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I haven't forgotten the agreement I promised them.
5 Y asimismo yo he oído el gemido de los hijos de Israel, á quienes hacen servir los Egipcios, y heme acordado de mi pacto.
6 So tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord and I will save you from the forced labor the Egyptians are making you do; I will set you free from being their slaves. I will rescue you using my power and imposing heavy punishments.
6 Por tanto dirás á los hijos de Israel: Yo JEHOVÁ; y yo os sacaré de debajo de las cargas de Egipto, y os libraré de su servidumbre, y os redimiré con brazo extendido, y con juicios grandes:
7 I will make you my own people. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt.
7 Y os tomaré por mi pueblo y seré vuestro Dios: y vosotros sabréis que yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios, que os saco de debajo de las cargas de Egipto:
8 I will take you to the land that I solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you to own. I am the Lord!’”
8 Y os meteré en la tierra, por la cual alcé mi mano que la daría á Abraham, á Isaac y á Jacob: y yo os la daré por heredad. Yo JEHOVÁ.
9 Moses explained this to the Israelites but they did not listen to him, because they were so discouraged and because of the hard labor they were forced to do.
9 De esta manera habló Moisés á los hijos de Israel: mas ellos no escuchaban á Moisés á causa de la congoja de espíritu, y de la dura servidumbre.
10 Then the Lord said to Moses,
10 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
11 “Go and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt. Tell him to let the Israelites leave his country.”
11 Entra, y habla á Faraón rey de Egipto, que deje ir de su tierra á los hijos de Israel.
12 But Moses replied, “Even my own people don't listen to me. Why would Pharaoh listen to me, especially since I'm such a poor speaker?”
12 Y respondió Moisés delante de Jehová, diciendo: He aquí, los hijos de Israel no me escuchan: ¿cómo pues me escuchará Faraón, mayormente siendo yo incircunciso de labios?
13 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and told them what to do regarding the people of Israel and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, in order to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.
13 Entonces Jehová habló á Moisés y á Aarón, y dióles mandamiento para los hijos de Israel, y para Faraón rey de Egipto, para que sacasen á los hijos de Israel de la tierra de Egipto.

26 Este es aquel Aarón y aquel Moisés, á los cuales Jehová dijo: Sacad á los hijos de Israel de la tierra de Egipto por sus escuadrones.
27 Moses and Aaron were also the ones who went to speak with Pharaoh, king of Egypt, about the Israelites leaving Egypt.

29 he said to him, “I am the Lord. Tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I tell you.”
29 Entonces Jehová habló á Moisés, diciendo: Yo soy JEHOVÁ; di á Faraón rey de Egipto todas las cosas que yo te digo á ti.
30 But Moses replied, “I'm not a good speaker—why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
30 Y Moisés respondió delante de Jehová: He aquí, yo soy incircunciso de labios, ¿cómo pues me ha de oir Faraón?
