1 После сего Моисей и Аарон пришли к фараону и сказали [ему]: так говорит Господь, Бог Израилев: отпусти народ Мой, чтоб он совершил Мне праздник в пустыне.
1 Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
2 Но фараон сказал: кто такой Господь, чтоб я послушался голоса Его и отпустил [сынов] Израиля? я не знаю Господа и Израиля не отпущу.
2 Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not let Israel go.”
3 Они сказали [ему]: Бог Евреев призвал нас; отпусти нас в пустыню на три дня пути принести жертву Господу, Богу нашему, чтобы Он не поразил нас язвою, или мечом.
3 They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
4 И сказал им царь Египетский: для чего вы, Моисей и Аарон, отвлекаете народ [мой] от дел его? ступайте [каждый из вас] на свою работу.
4 The king of Egypt said to them, “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
5 И сказал фараон: вот, народ в земле сей многочислен, и вы отвлекаете его от работ его.
5 Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
6 И в тот же день фараон дал повеление приставникам над народом и надзирателям, говоря:
6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,
7 не давайте впредь народу соломы для делания кирпича, как вчера и третьего дня, пусть они сами ходят и собирают себе солому,
7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
8 а кирпичей наложите на них то же урочное число, какое они делали вчера и третьего дня, и не убавляйте; они праздны, потому и кричат: пойдем, принесем жертву Богу нашему;
8 You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’
9 дать им больше работы, чтоб они работали и не занимались пустыми речами.
9 Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
10 И вышли приставники народа и надзиратели его и сказали народу: так говорит фараон: не даю вам соломы;
10 The taskmasters of the people went out with their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
11 сами пойдите, берите себе солому, где найдете, а от работы вашей ничего не убавляется.
11 Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
12 И рассеялся народ по всей земле Египетской собирать жниво вместо соломы.
12 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13 Приставники же понуждали [их], говоря: выполняйте [урочную] работу свою каждый день, как и тогда, когда была у вас солома.
13 The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
14 А надзирателей из сынов Израилевых, которых поставили над ними приставники фараоновы, били, говоря: почему вы вчера и сегодня не изготовляете урочного числа кирпичей, как было до сих пор?
14 The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
15 И пришли надзиратели сынов Израилевых и возопили к фараону, говоря: для чего ты так поступаешь с рабами твоими?
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
16 соломы не дают рабам твоим, а кирпичи, говорят нам, делайте. И вот, рабов твоих бьют; грех народу твоему.
16 No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
17 Но он сказал [им]: праздны вы, праздны, поэтому и говорите: пойдем, принесем жертву Господу.
17 But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’
18 Пойдите же, работайте; соломы не дадут вам, а положенное число кирпичей давайте.
18 Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same number of bricks!”
19 И увидели надзиратели сынов Израилевых беду свою в словах: не убавляйте числа кирпичей, какое [положено] на каждый день.
19 The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”
20 И когда они вышли от фараона, то встретились с Моисеем и Аароном, которые стояли, ожидая их,
20 They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out from Pharaoh.
21 и сказали им: да видит и судит вам Господь за то, что вы сделали нас ненавистными в глазах фараона и рабов его и дали им меч в руки, чтобы убить нас.
21 They said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”
22 И обратился Моисей к Господу и сказал: Господи! для чего Ты подвергнул такому бедствию народ сей, [и] для чего послал меня?
22 Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have sent me?
23 ибо с того времени, как я пришел к фараону и стал говорить именем Твоим, он начал хуже поступать с народом сим; избавить же, — Ты не избавил народа Твоего.
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”

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).
This abased Pharaoh. For, "I know not," he saith, "the Lord," and he became inferior to flies and frogs, and the locusts, and after that with his very arms and horses was he drowned in the sea.
