< Izlazak 13 >

1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “Meni posvetite svakoga prvorođenca! Prvenci materina krila kod Izraelaca, i od ljudi i od životinja, meni pripadaju!”
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is 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 unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand YHWH brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4 Ovoga dana mjeseca Abiba vaše je izbavljenje.
This day came ye out in the month of the aviv.
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 it shall be when YHWH shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
6 sedam dana jedi nekvasan kruh, a sedmoga dana neka se slavi svetkovina u čast Jahvi.
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to YHWH.
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.
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
8 Svome sinu toga dana objasni: to je za ono što mi je Jahve učinio kad sam se iz Egipta izbavio.
And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which YHWH did unto me when I came forth out of 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 shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that YHWH 's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath YHWH brought thee out of Egypt.
10 Ovaj propis vršite svake godine u određeno vrijeme.”
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
11 “A kada te Jahve dovede u zemlju Kanaanaca - kako vam se zakle, tebi i tvojim ocima - i kada ti je preda,
And it shall be when YHWH shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12 ustupajte Jahvi prvorođence materinjega krila, a tako i sve prvine što ih tvoja stoka dade - svako muško pripada Jahvi!
That thou shalt set apart unto YHWH all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be YHWH 's.
13 Svaku prvinu magaradi otkupi janjetom ili jaretom. Ako je ne otkupiš, slomi joj vrat. A svakoga prvorođenca između svoje djece otkupi.
And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
14 Kad te sin tvoj sutra zapita: Što znači to? - odgovori mu: Rukom jakom izvede nas Jahve iz Egipta, iz kuće ropstva.
And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand YHWH brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
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.
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that YHWH slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to YHWH all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children 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.”
And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand YHWH brought us forth out of 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 it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Elohim led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for Elohim said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they 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 Elohim led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed 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!”
And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, Elohim will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
20 Krenuvši iz Sukota, utabore se u Etamu, na kraju pustinje.
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge 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.
And YHWH went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
22 I nije ispred naroda nestajao stup od oblaka danju ni stup od ognja noću.
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
