Tinawag ng Diyos si Moises
3 Samantala, habang nagpapastol si Moises ng kawan ng biyenan niyang si Jetro na pari sa Midian, itinawid niya ang kawan sa gawing kanluran ng disyerto at nakarating siya sa Sinai,[a] ang Bundok ng Diyos. 2 Doon,(A) ang anghel ni Yahweh ay nagpakita sa kanya na parang apoy na nagmumula sa gitna ng isang mababang punongkahoy. Kitang-kita ni Moises na nagliliyab ang puno ngunit hindi nasusunog. 3 Kaya't nasabi niya sa kanyang sarili, “Nakakapagtaka naman ito! Titingnan ko ngang mabuti kung bakit hindi iyon natutupok gayong nagliliyab.”
4 Nang lalapit na si Moises, tinawag siya ni Yahweh buhat sa nagliliyab na punongkahoy, “Moises, Moises.”
“Ano po iyon?” sagot niya.
5 Sinabi ng Diyos, “Huwag kang lumapit. Hubarin mo ang iyong sandalyas sapagkat banal na lugar ang kinatatayuan mo. 6 Ako ang Diyos na sinamba ng iyong mga ninuno, ang Diyos ni Abraham, ni Isaac at ni Jacob.” Tinakpan ni Moises ang kanyang mukha sapagkat natatakot siyang tumingin sa Diyos.
7 Sinabi sa kanya ni Yahweh, “Nakita kong labis na pinahihirapan ng mga Egipcio ang aking bayan. Alam ko ang hirap na kanilang tinitiis at narinig ko ang kanilang pagdaing. 8 Kaya't bumabâ ako upang sila'y iligtas, ilabas sa Egipto at ihatid sa lupaing mainam, malawak, mayaman, at sagana sa lahat ng bagay. Ito'y ang lupain ng mga Cananeo, Heteo, Amoreo, Perezeo, Hivita at Jebuseo. 9 Naririnig ko nga ang pagdaing ng aking bayan at nakikita ko ang pang-aaping ginagawa sa kanila ng mga Egipcio. 10 Kaya't papupuntahin kita sa Faraon upang ilabas mo sa Egipto ang aking bayang Israel.”
11 Sumagot si Moises, “Sino po ako para humarap sa Faraon at ilabas ang bayang Israel mula sa Egipto?”
12 “Huwag kang mag-alala, hindi kita pababayaan. At ito ang magiging katibayan na ako ang nagsugo sa iyo: sa bundok ding ito sasambahin ninyo ako kapag nailabas mo na sa Egipto ang aking bayan,” sabi ng Diyos.
13 Sinabi(B) ni Moises, “Pupunta ako sa mga Israelita at sasabihin sa kanilang ako'y sinugo ng Diyos ng aming ninuno. Ngunit ano po ang sasabihin ko kung itanong nila kung sino ang nagsugo sa akin?”
14 Sinabi(C) ng Diyos, “Ako'y si Ako Nga.[b] Sabihin mo sa mga Israelita na sinugo ka ng Diyos na ang pangalan ay ‘Ako Nga’. 15 Sabihin mo sa kanila na sinugo ka ni Yahweh, ng Diyos ng inyong mga ninuno, ang Diyos nina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob. At ito ang pangalang itatawag nila sa akin magpakailanman. 16 Lumakad ka na at tipunin mo ang mga pinuno ng Israel. Sabihin mo sa kanilang nagpakita ako sa iyo, akong si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng inyong mga ninunong sina Abraham, Isaac at Jacob. Sabihin mong ako'y bumabâ at nakita ko ang ginagawa sa kanila ng mga Egipcio. 17 Dahil dito, ilalabas ko sila sa bansang iyon na nagpapahirap sa kanila. Dadalhin ko sila sa isang mayaman at masaganang lupain; ang lupain ng mga Cananeo, ng mga Heteo, ng mga Amoreo, ng mga Perezeo, ng mga Hivita at ng mga Jebuseo.
18 “Papakinggan ka ng aking bayan. Pagkatapos, isama mo ang mga pinuno ng Israel at pumunta kayo sa Faraon. Sabihin mong si Yahweh, ang Diyos ng mga Hebreo, ay nagpakita sa iyo at kayo'y maglalakbay ng tatlong araw papunta sa ilang upang maghandog sa akin. 19 Alam kong hindi siya papayag hangga't hindi siya ginagamitan ng kamay na bakal. 20 Kaya't paparusahan ko ang buong Egipto sa pamamagitan ng mga kababalaghan. Pagkatapos, papayagan na niya kayong umalis.”
21 Idinugtong(D) (E) pa ng Diyos, “Pagagaanin ko sa inyo ang loob ng mga Egipcio upang may madala kayo pag-alis. 22 Ang inyong mga kababaihan ay manghihingi ng damit, alahas na ginto o pilak sa kanilang mga Egipciong kapitbahay at sa sinumang Egipciong babaing kasama nila sa bahay. Ipasusuot ninyo ang mga ito sa inyong mga anak. Sa ganitong paraan ay mapapasa-inyo ang ari-arian ng mga Egipcio.”

Moses and the Burning Bush
3 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro(A) his father-in-law, the priest of Midian,(B) and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb,(C) the mountain(D) of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord(E) appeared to him in flames of fire(F) from within a bush.(G) Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”
4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called(H) to him from within the bush,(I) “Moses! Moses!”
And Moses said, “Here I am.”(J)
5 “Do not come any closer,”(K) God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”(L) 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father,[a] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.”(M) At this, Moses hid(N) his face, because he was afraid to look at God.(O)
7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen(P) the misery(Q) of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned(R) about their suffering.(S) 8 So I have come down(T) to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land,(U) a land flowing with milk and honey(V)—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites(W) and Jebusites.(X) 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing(Y) them. 10 So now, go. I am sending(Z) you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”(AA)
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I(AB) that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
12 And God said, “I will be with you.(AC) And this will be the sign(AD) to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you[b] will worship God on this mountain.(AE)”
13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’(AF) Then what shall I tell them?”
14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.[c] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am(AG) has sent me to you.’”
15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord,[d] the God of your fathers(AH)—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob(AI)—has sent me to you.’
16 “Go, assemble the elders(AL) of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(AM)—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen(AN) what has been done to you in Egypt. 17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt(AO) into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’(AP)
18 “The elders of Israel will listen(AQ) to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews,(AR) has met(AS) with us. Let us take a three-day journey(AT) into the wilderness to offer sacrifices(AU) to the Lord our God.’ 19 But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand(AV) compels him. 20 So I will stretch out my hand(AW) and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders(AX) that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.(AY)
21 “And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed(AZ) toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed.(BA) 22 Every woman is to ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house for articles of silver(BB) and gold(BC) and for clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder(BD) the Egyptians.”(BE)

The Burning Bush
3 Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the (A)mountain of God. 2 (B)And (C)the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” 4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, (D)God called to him (E)out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then he said, “Do not come near; (F)take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6 And he said, (G)“I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for (H)he was afraid to look at God.
7 Then the Lord said, (I)“I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their (J)taskmasters. I know their sufferings, 8 and (K)I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and (L)to bring them up out of that land to a (M)good and broad land, a land (N)flowing with milk and honey, to the place of (O)the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9 And now, behold, (P)the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the (Q)oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 (R)Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” 11 But Moses said to God, (S)“Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” 12 He said, (T)“But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, (U)you shall serve God on this mountain.”
13 Then Moses said to God, “If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.”[a] And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: (V)‘I am has sent me to you.’” 15 God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘The Lord,[b] the (W)God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is (X)my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations. 16 Go and (Y)gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, (Z)“I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt, 17 and I promise that (AA)I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, a land (AB)flowing with milk and honey.”’ 18 And (AC)they will listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel (AD)shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has (AE)met with us; and now, please let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ 19 But I know that the king of Egypt (AF)will not let you go unless compelled (AG)by a mighty hand.[c] 20 So (AH)I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with (AI)all the wonders that I will do in it; (AJ)after that he will let you go. 21 And (AK)I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and when you go, you shall not go empty, 22 but each woman shall ask of her neighbor, and any woman who lives in her house, for (AL)silver and gold jewelry, and for clothing. You shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So (AM)you shall plunder the Egyptians.”
