Izlazak 13
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Meni posvetite svakoga prvorođenca! Prvenci materina krila kod Izraelaca, i od ljudi i od životinja, meni pripadaju!”
“Sanctify to me every firstborn which opens the womb among the sons of Israel, as much of men as of cattle. For they are all mine.”
3 A onda Mojsije reče narodu: “Sjećajte se ovoga dana u koji ste izbavljeni iz Egipta, iz kuće ropstva, jer vas Jahve izbavi odande svojom jakom mišicom. Ukvasani kruh neka se ne jede!
And Moses said to the people: “Remember this day, on which you were taken away from Egypt and from the house of servitude. For with a strong hand the Lord has led you away from this place. Thus, you shall eat no leavened bread.
4 Ovoga dana mjeseca Abiba vaše je izbavljenje.
Today, you go forth in the month of new grain.
5 Stoga: kad te Jahve uvede u zemlju Kanaanaca, Hetita, Amorejaca, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca, za koju se zakleo tvojim precima da će ti je dati - zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko - ovoga mjeseca obavi ovakav obred:
And when the Lord has brought you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers that he would give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you will celebrate this manner of sacred rites in this month.
6 sedam dana jedi nekvasan kruh, a sedmoga dana neka se slavi svetkovina u čast Jahvi.
For seven days, you shall feed on unleavened bread. And on the seventh day, it will be the solemnity of the Lord.
7 Sedam dana neka se jede nekvasan kruh; ukvasanog kruha neka ne bude kod tebe; i neka se nigdje ne vidi kvasac na tvome području.
You shall consume unleavened bread for seven days. There shall not be seen anything leavened with you, nor in all your parts.
8 Svome sinu toga dana objasni: to je za ono što mi je Jahve učinio kad sam se iz Egipta izbavio.
And you will explain to your son in that day, saying: ‘This is what the Lord did for me when I was taken away from Egypt.’
9 Neka ti bude kao znak na tvojoj ruci i kao opomena na tvome čelu: da Jahvin zakon bude uvijek na tvojim ustima. Jer te rukom jakom Jahve izbavio iz Egipta.
And it will be like a sign in your hand and like a memorial before your eyes. And so may the law of the Lord be always in your mouth. For with a strong hand, the Lord led you away from the land of Egypt.
10 Ovaj propis vršite svake godine u određeno vrijeme.”
You will keep this observance, at the established time, from day to day.
11 “A kada te Jahve dovede u zemlju Kanaanaca - kako vam se zakle, tebi i tvojim ocima - i kada ti je preda,
And when the Lord has brought you into the land of the Canaanite, just as he swore to you and to your fathers, and when he will give it you,
12 ustupajte Jahvi prvorođence materinjega krila, a tako i sve prvine što ih tvoja stoka dade - svako muško pripada Jahvi!
then you shall set aside for the Lord all that opens the womb and all that is first to go forth among your cattle. Whatever you will have of the male sex, you shall consecrate to the Lord.
13 Svaku prvinu magaradi otkupi janjetom ili jaretom. Ako je ne otkupiš, slomi joj vrat. A svakoga prvorođenca između svoje djece otkupi.
The firstborn of a donkey you will exchange for a sheep. And if you will not redeem it, you shall put it to death. But every firstborn of man among your sons, you shall redeem with a price.
14 Kad te sin tvoj sutra zapita: Što znači to? - odgovori mu: Rukom jakom izvede nas Jahve iz Egipta, iz kuće ropstva.
And when your son will question you tomorrow, saying, ‘What is this?’ you will respond, ‘With a strong hand the Lord led us away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude.
15 Kako je faraon postao tvrdokoran pa nas nije htio pustiti, Jahve je poubijao sve prvorođence u zemlji egipatskoj: prvorođence ljudi i prvine stoke. Eto zato Jahvi žrtvujem svaku mušku prvinu materinjega krila, a svakoga prvorođenca od svojih sinova otkupljujem.
For when Pharaoh had been hardened and was unwilling to release us, the Lord killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man, even to the firstborn of beasts. For this reason, I immolate to the Lord all of the male sex that opens the womb, and all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
16 Neka ti to bude kao znak na tvojoj ruci i kao znamenje posred čela da nas je rukom jakom Jahve izbavio iz Egipta.”
Therefore, it will be like a sign in your hand and like something hanging between your eyes as a remembrance, because with a strong hand the Lord has led us away from Egypt.”
17 Kad je faraon dopustio da narod ode, Bog ih nije poveo prema filistejskoj zemlji, iako je onuda bilo najbliže. Bog je, naime, rekao: “Mogao bi se narod predomisliti i vratiti u Egipat kad vidi ratovanje.”
And so, when Pharaoh had sent the people away, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, which is nearby, considering that perhaps they might relapse, if they saw wars rise up against them, and then they might return to Egypt.
18 Stoga Bog povede narod zaobilaznim putem, kroz pustinju prema Crvenome moru. Izraelci su napustili zemlju egipatsku naoružani od glave do pete.
But he led them around by the way of the desert, which is next to the Red Sea. And so the sons of Israel ascended, armed, out of the land of Egypt.
19 Mojsije ponese sa sobom Josipove kosti. Jer Josip bijaše zakleo Izraelce riječima: “Bog će se zacijelo za vas zauzeti. Tada i moje kosti odavde ponesite sa sobom!”
Also, Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, because he had sworn to the sons of Israel, saying: “God will visit you. Carry my bones away from here with you.”
20 Krenuvši iz Sukota, utabore se u Etamu, na kraju pustinje.
And setting out from Soccoth, they encamped at Etham, in the most distant parts of the wilderness.
21 Jahve je išao pred njima, danju u stupu od oblaka da im put pokazuje, a noću u stupu od ognja da im svijetli. Tako su mogli putovati i danju i noću.
Now the Lord preceded them to show them the way, by day with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire, so that he might be the leader of their journey at both times.
22 I nije ispred naroda nestajao stup od oblaka danju ni stup od ognja noću.
These never failed: a pillar of cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night, in the sight of the people.
