1 А Мојсије одговори и рече: Али неће ми веровати ни послушати глас мој; јер ће рећи: Није ти се Господ јавио.
1 Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘Yahweh has not appeared to you.’”
2 А Господ му рече: Шта ти је то у руци? А он одговори: Штап.
2 Yahweh said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”
3 А Бог му рече: Баци га на земљу. И баци га на земљу, а он поста змија. И Мојсије побеже од ње.
3 He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.
4 А Господ рече Мојсију: Пружи руку своју, па је ухвати за реп. И пружи руку своју, и ухвати је, и опет поста штап у руци његовој.
4 Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand.
5 То учини, рече Господ, да верују да ти се јавио Господ Бог отаца њихових, Бог Аврамов, Бог Исаков и Бог Јаковљев.
5 “This is so that they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
6 И опет му рече Господ: Тури сада руку своју у недра своја. И он тури руку своју у недра своја; а кад је извади из недара, а то рука му губава, бела као снег.
6 Yahweh said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow.
7 А Бог му рече: Тури опет руку своју у недра своја. И опет тури руку своју у недра своја; а кад је извади из недара, а то опет постала као и остало тело његово.
7 He said, “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh.
8 Тако, рече Бог, ако ти не узверују и не послушају глас твој за први знак, послушаће за други знак.
8 “It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
9 Ако ли не узверују ни за та два знака и не послушају глас твој, а ти захвати воде из реке, и пролиј на земљу, и претвориће се вода коју захватиш из реке, и проврћи ће се у крв на земљи.
9 It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.”
10 А Мојсије рече Господу: Молим Ти се, Господе, нисам речит човек, нити сам пре био нити сам откако си проговорио са слугом својим, него сам спорих уста и спорог језика.
10 Moses said to Yahweh, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.”
11 А Господ му рече: Ко је дао уста човеку? Или ко може створити немог или глувог или окатог или слепог? Зар не ја, Господ?
11 Yahweh said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh?
12 Иди дакле, ја ћу бити с устима твојим, и учићу те шта ћеш говорити.
12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”
13 А Мојсије рече: Молим Те, Господе, пошљи оног кога треба да пошаљеш.
13 Moses said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”
14 И разгневи се Господ на Мојсија, и рече му: Није ли ти брат Арон Левит? Знам да је он речит; и ево он ће те срести, и кад те види обрадоваће се у срцу свом.
14 Yahweh’s anger burned against Moses, and he said, “What about Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Also, behold, he is coming out to meet you. When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
15 Њему ћеш казати и метнућеш ове речи у уста његова, и ја ћу бити с твојим устима и с његовим устима, и учићу вас шта ћете чинити.
15 You shall speak to him, and put the words in his mouth. I will be with your mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what you shall do.
16 И он ће место тебе говорити народу, и он ће бити теби место уста, а ти ћеш бити њему место Бога.
16 He will be your spokesman to the people. It will happen that he will be to you a mouth, and you will be to him as God.
17 А тај штап узми у руку своју, њим ћеш чинити чудеса.
17 You shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.”
18 И отиде Мојсије, и врати се к Јотору тасту свом, и рече му: Пусти ме да идем, да се вратим к браћи својој у Мисиру, да видим јесу ли још у животу. И рече Јотор Мојсију: Иди с миром.
18 Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, “Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
19 И рече Господ Мојсију у земљи мадијанској: Иди, врати се у Мисир, јер су помрли сви који су тражили душу твоју.
19 Yahweh said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return into Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”
20 И узе Мојсије жену своју и синове своје, и посади их на магарца, и пође натраг у земљу мисирску. И узе Мојсије штап Божји у руку своју.
20 Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. Moses took God’s rod in his hand.
21 И рече Господ Мојсију: Кад отидеш и вратиш се у Мисир, гледај да учиниш пред Фараоном сва чудеса која ти метнух у руку: а ја ћу учинити да му отврдне срце и не пусти народ.
21 Yahweh said to Moses, “When you go back into Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand, but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go.
22 А ти ћеш рећи Фараону: Овако каже Господ: Израиљ је син мој, првенац мој.
22 You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,
23 И казах ти: Пусти сина мог да ми послужи. А ти га не хте пустити; ево ја ћу убити сина твог, првенца твог.
23 and I have said to you, “Let my son go, that he may serve me;” and you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your firstborn son.’”
24 И кад беше на путу у гостионици, дође к њему Господ и хтеде да га убије.
24 On the way at a lodging place, Yahweh met Moses and wanted to kill him.
25 А Сефора узе оштар нож, и обреза сина свог, и окрајак баци к ногама његовим говорећи: Ти си ми крвав заручник.
25 Then Zipporah took a flint, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet; and she said, “Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me.”
26 Тада га остави Господ; а она ради обрезања рече: Крвав заручник.
26 So he let him alone. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.
27 А Господ рече Арону: Изиђи у пустињу на сусрет Мојсију. И отиде и срете га на гори Божијој, и пољуби га.
27 Yahweh said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” He went, and met him on God’s mountain, and kissed him.
28 И Мојсије каза Арону све речи Господње, за које га посла, и све знаке које му заповеди.
28 Moses told Aaron all Yahweh’s words with which he had sent him, and all the signs with which he had instructed him.
29 И отидоше Мојсије и Арон, и скупише све старешине синова Израиљевих.
29 Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel.
30 И Арон каза све речи, које беше рекао Господ Мојсију, а Мојсије учини знаке пред народом.
30 Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
31 И народ верова; и разумеше да је Господ походио синове Израиљеве и видео невољу њихову; и савивши се поклонише се.
31 The people believed, and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel, and that he had seen their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
And nevertheless Moses feared and fled. What is it that Moses fled from that serpent?

Thus Moses also first is in fear of the serpent, and not merely in fear, but even with much distress: and then he sees that strange thing come to pass. So these too, having first looked to perish, were then saved, that having confessed the danger, they might learn the greatness of the miracle.

… have a thing which without doubt we can ascribe to them; the dyings of the beasts, the dyings of the first-born, and this especially whence all these things proceeded, namely, the hardening of heart, so that they would not let go the people of God. For when God is said to make this most iniquitous and malignant obstinacy, He maketh …

… in behalf of heartless and disobedient men; and by the very persons who were saved by them, they were brought into extreme danger; and each of them wishing to withdraw men from idolatry; and each being unlearned; for the one was of a "slow tongue," and dull of speech, and the other for his part also somewhat of the rudest …
