WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Ο δε Μωϋσής έβοσκε τα πρόβατα του Ιοθόρ, πενθερού αυτού, ιερέως της Μαδιάμ· και έφερε τα πρόβατα εις το όπισθεν μέρος της ερήμου και ήλθεν εις το όρος του Θεού, το Χωρήβ.
1 Y APACENTANDO Moisés las ovejas de Jethro su suegro, sacerdote de Madián, llevó las ovejas detrás del desierto, y vino á Horeb, monte de Dios.
1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God’s mountain, to Horeb.
2 Εφάνη δε εις αυτόν άγγελος Κυρίου εν φλογί πυρός εκ μέσου της βάτου· και είδε και ιδού, η βάτος εκαίετο υπό του πυρός και η βάτος δεν κατεκαίετο.
2 Y apareciósele el Angel de Jehová en una llama de fuego en medio de una zarza: y él miró, y vió que la zarza ardía en fuego, y la zarza no se consumía.
2 Yahweh’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the middle of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 Και είπεν ο Μωϋσής, Ας στρέψω και ας παρατηρήσω το μέγα τούτο θέαμα, διά τι η βάτος δεν κατακαίεται.
3 Entonces Moisés dijo: Iré yo ahora, y veré esta grande visión, por qué causa la zarza no se quema.
3 Moses said, “I will go now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.”
4 Και ως είδεν ο Κύριος τον Μωϋσήν ότι έστρεψε να παρατηρήση, εφώνησε προς αυτόν ο Θεός εκ μέσου της βάτου και είπε, Μωϋσή, Μωϋσή. Ο δε είπεν, Ιδού, εγώ.
4 Y viendo Jehová que iba á ver, llamólo Dios de en medio de la zarza, y dijo: ¡Moisés, Moisés! Y él respondió: Heme aquí.
4 When Yahweh saw that he came over to see, God called to him out of the middle of the bush, and said, “Moses! Moses!” He said, “Here I am.”
5 Και είπε, Μη πλησιάσης εδώ· λύσον τα υποδήματά σου εκ των ποδών σου· διότι ο τόπος επί του οποίου ίστασαι είναι γη αγία.
5 Y dijo: No te llegues acá: quita tus zapatos de tus pies, porque el lugar en que tú estás, tierra santa es.
5 He said, “Don’t come close. Take off your sandals, for the place you are standing on is holy ground.”
6 Και είπε προς αυτόν, Εγώ είμαι ο Θεός του πατρός σου, ο Θεός του Αβραάμ, ο Θεός του Ισαάκ και ο Θεός του Ιακώβ. Έκρυψε δε το πρόσωπον αυτού ο Μωϋσής· διότι εφοβείτο να εμβλέψη εις τον Θεόν.
6 Y dijo: Yo soy el Dios de tu padre, Dios de Abraham, Dios de Isaac, Dios de Jacob. Entonces Moisés cubrió su rostro, porque tuvo miedo de mirar á Dios.
6 Moreover 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 because he was afraid to look at God.
7 Και είπεν ο Κύριος, Είδον, είδον την ταλαιπωρίαν του λαού μου του εν Αιγύπτω και ήκουσα την κραυγήν αυτών εξ αιτίας των εργοδιωκτών αυτών· διότι εγνώρισα την οδύνην αυτών·
7 Y dijo Jehová: Bien he visto la aflicción de mi pueblo que está en Egipto, y he oído su clamor á causa de sus exactores; pues tengo conocidas sus angustias:
7 Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
8 και κατέβην διά να ελευθερώσω αυτούς εκ της χειρός των Αιγυπτίων και να αναβιβάσω αυτούς εκ της γης εκείνης εις γην καλήν και ευρύχωρον, εις γην ρέουσαν γάλα και μέλι, εις τον τόπον των Χαναναίων και Χετταίων και Αμορραίων και Φερεζαίων και Ευαίων και Ιεβουσαίων·
8 Y he descendido para librarlos de mano de los Egipcios, y sacarlos de aquella tierra á una tierra buena y ancha, á tierra que fluye leche y miel, á los lugares del Cananeo, del Hetheo, del Amorrheo, del Pherezeo, del Heveo, y del Jebuseo.
8 I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
9 και τώρα ιδού, η κραυγή των υιών Ισραήλ ήλθεν εις εμέ· και είδον έτι την κατάθλιψιν, με την οποίαν οι Αιγύπτιοι καταθλίβουσιν αυτούς·
9 El clamor, pues, de los hijos de Israel ha venido delante de mí, y también he visto la opresión con que los Egipcios los oprimen.
9 Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
10 ελθέ λοιπόν τώρα και θέλω σε αποστείλει προς τον Φαραώ, και θέλεις εξαγάγει τον λαόν μου τους υιούς Ισραήλ εξ Αιγύπτου.
10 Ven por tanto ahora, y enviarte he á Faraón, para que saques á mi pueblo, los hijos de Israel, de Egipto.
10 Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
11 Και απεκρίθη ο Μωϋσής προς τον Θεόν, Τις είμαι εγώ, διά να υπάγω προς τον Φαραώ και να εξαγάγω τους υιούς Ισραήλ εξ Αιγύπτου;
11 Entonces Moisés respondió á Dios: ¿Quién soy yo, para que vaya á Faraón, y saque de Egipto á los hijos de Israel?
11 Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
12 Και είπεν ο Θεός, Βεβαίως εγώ θέλω είσθαι μετά σού· και τούτο θέλει είσθαι εις σε το σημείον, ότι εγώ σε απέστειλα· Αφού εξαγάγης τον λαόν μου εξ Αιγύπτου, θέλετε λατρεύσει τον Θεόν επί του όρους τούτου.
12 Y él [le] respondió: [Ve], porque yo seré contigo; y esto te será por señal de que yo te he enviado: luego que hubieres sacado este pueblo de Egipto, serviréis á Dios sobre este monte.
12 He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”
13 Και είπεν ο Μωϋσής προς τον Θεόν, Ιδού, όταν εγώ υπάγω προς τους υιούς Ισραήλ και είπω προς αυτούς, Ο Θεός των πατέρων σας με απέστειλε προς εσάς, και εκείνοι μ' ερωτήσωσι, Τι είναι το όνομα αυτού; τι θέλω ειπεί προς αυτούς;
13 Y dijo Moisés á Dios: He aquí que llego yo á los hijos de Israel, y les digo, El Dios de vuestros padres me ha enviado á vosotros; si ellos me preguntaren: ¿Cuál es su nombre? ¿qué les responderé?
13 Moses said to God, “Behold, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what should I tell them?”
14 Και είπεν ο Θεός προς τον Μωϋσήν, Εγώ είμαι ο Ων· και είπεν, Ούτω θέλεις ειπεί προς τους υιούς Ισραήλ· Ο Ων με απέστειλε προς εσάς.
14 Y respondió Dios á Moisés: YO SOY EL QUE SOY. Y dijo: Así dirás á los hijos de Israel: YO SOY me ha enviado á vosotros.
14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM,” and he said, “You shall tell the children of Israel this: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
15 Και είπεν έτι ο Θεός προς τον Μωϋσήν, Ούτω θέλεις ειπεί προς τους υιούς Ισραήλ· Κύριος ο Θεός των πατέρων σας, ο Θεός του Αβραάμ, ο Θεός του Ισαάκ και ο Θεός του Ιακώβ, με απέστειλε προς εσάς· τούτο θέλει είσθαι το όνομά μου εις τον αιώνα και τούτο το μνημόσυνόν μου εις γενεάς γενεών·
15 Y dijo más Dios á Moisés: Así dirás á los hijos de Israel: Jehová, el Dios de vuestros padres, el Dios de Abraham, Dios de Isaac y Dios de Jacob, me ha enviado á vosotros. Este es mi nombre para siempre, este es mi memorial por todos los siglos.
15 God said moreover to Moses, “You shall tell the children of Israel this, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
16 ύπαγε και σύναξον τους πρεσβυτέρους του Ισραήλ και ειπέ προς αυτούς, Κύριος ο Θεός των πατέρων σας, ο Θεός του Αβραάμ, του Ισαάκ και του Ιακώβ, εφάνη εις εμέ, λέγων, Επεσκέφθην αληθώς εσάς και τα όσα κάμνουσιν εις εσάς εν Αιγύπτω·
16 Ve, y junta los ancianos de Israel, y diles: Jehová, el Dios de vuestros padres, el Dios de Abraham, de Isaac, y de Jacob, me apareció, diciendo: De cierto os he visitado, y [visto] lo que se os hace en Egipto;
16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them, ‘Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt.
17 και είπα, Θέλω σας αναβιβάσει εκ της ταλαιπωρίας των Αιγυπτίων εις την γην των Χαναναίων και Χετταίων και Αμορραίων και Φερεζαίων και Ευαίων και Ιεβουσαίων, εις γην ρέουσαν γάλα και μέλι·
17 Y he dicho: Yo os sacaré de la aflicción de Egipto á la tierra del Cananeo, y del Hetheo, y del Amorrheo, y del Pherezeo, y del Heveo, y del Jebuseo, á una tierra que fluye leche y miel.
17 I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’
18 και θέλουσιν υπακούσει εις την φωνήν σου· και θέλεις υπάγει, συ και οι πρεσβύτεροι του Ισραήλ, προς τον βασιλέα της Αιγύπτου και θέλετε ειπεί προς αυτόν, Κύριος ο Θεός των Εβραίων συνήντησεν ημάς· τώρα λοιπόν άφες να υπάγωμεν οδόν τριών ημερών εις την έρημον, διά να προσφέρωμεν θυσίαν εις Κύριον τον Θεόν ημών·
18 Y oirán tu voz; é irás tú, y los ancianos de Israel, al rey de Egipto, y le diréis: Jehová, el Dios de los Hebreos, nos ha encontrado; por tanto nosotros iremos ahora camino de tres días por el desierto, para que sacrifiquemos á Jehová nuestro Dios.
18 They will listen to your voice. You shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, ‘Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Now please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.’
19 εγώ δε εξεύρω, ότι δεν θέλει σας αφήσει ο βασιλεύς της Αιγύπτου να υπάγητε, ειμή διά χειρός κραταιάς·
19 Mas yo sé que el rey de Egipto no os dejará ir sino por mano fuerte.
19 I know that the king of Egypt won’t give you permission to go, no, not by a mighty hand.
20 και εκτείνας την χείρα μου, θέλω πατάξει την Αίγυπτον με πάντα τα θαυμάσιά μου τα οποία θέλω κάμει εν μέσω αυτής· και μετά ταύτα θέλει σας εξαποστείλει·
20 Empero yo extenderé mi mano, y heriré á Egipto con todas mis maravillas que haré en él, y entonces os dejará ir.
20 I will reach out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do among them, and after that he will let you go.
21 και θέλω δώσει χάριν εις τον λαόν τούτον έμπροσθεν των Αιγυπτίων· και όταν αναχωρήτε, δεν θέλετε αναχωρήσει κενοί·
21 Y yo daré á este pueblo gracia en los ojos de los Egipcios, para que cuando os partiereis, no salgáis vacíos:
21 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.
22 αλλά πάσα γυνή θέλει ζητήσει παρά της γείτονος αυτής και παρά της συγκατοίκου αυτής σκεύη αργυρά και σκεύη χρυσά και ενδύματα· και θέλετε επιθέσει αυτά επί τους υιούς σας και επί τας θυγατέρας σας και θέλετε γυμνώσει τους Αιγυπτίους.
22 Sino que demandará cada mujer á su vecina y á su huéspeda vasos de plata, vasos de oro, y vestidos: los cuales pondréis sobre vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas; y despojaréis á Egipto.
22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing. You shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.”

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).
… spake to Moses, in a flame of fire out of the bush, and said, I am that I am, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, the God of thy fathers; go down into Egypt, and bring forth My people." And if you wish to learn what follows, you can do so from the same …
And thus shalt thou say to the children of Israel: He who is, hath sent me unto you;" and His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who makes those that believe in His name the sons of God.
… what was the name of that God who was commanding him to go and deliver the Hebrew people out of Egypt, this answer was given: "I am who am; and thou shalt say to the children of Israel, He who is sent me unto you;" as though compared with Him that truly is, because He is unchangeable, those things which …

We worship, therefore, as the Father of Christ, the Maker of heaven and earth, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; to whose honour the former temple also, over against us here, was built.

… of His Essence; and of these especially He Who Is, not only because when He spake to Moses in the mount, and Moses asked what His Name was, this was what He called Himself, bidding him say to the people "I Am hath sent me," but also because we find that this Name is the more strictly appropriate.
