Izlazak 13

1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

Then Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Meni posvetite svakoga prvorođenca! Prvenci materina krila kod Izraelaca, i od ljudi i od životinja, meni pripadaju!”

"Set apart to me all the firstborn. Whatever is first from the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal; 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 to the people, "Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for with a mighty hand Jehovah brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.

4 Ovoga dana mjeseca Abiba vaše je izbavljenje.

On this day, in the month of Abib, you are going out.

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 Jehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you must keep this ceremony in this month.

6 sedam dana jedi nekvasan kruh, a sedmoga dana neka se slavi svetkovina u čast Jahvi.

Six days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a feast to Jehovah.

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 is to be eaten throughout the seven days. Nothing leavened is to be seen among you, nor is any leaven to be seen among you in all your territory.

8 Svome sinu toga dana objasni: to je za ono što mi je Jahve učinio kad sam se iz Egipta izbavio.

And you are to tell your son on that day, saying, 'It is because of what Jehovah did for me when I came 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 as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, so that the law of Jehovah may be in your mouth, for with a mighty hand Jehovah brought you out of Egypt.

10 Ovaj propis vršite svake godine u određeno vrijeme.”

Therefore you are to keep this ordinance at its appointed time 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 Jehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,

12 ustupajte Jahvi prvorođence materinjega krila, a tako i sve prvine što ih tvoja stoka dade - svako muško pripada Jahvi!

that you are to set apart to Jehovah everything that is first from the womb. Every firstborn male animal belongs to Jehovah.

13 Svaku prvinu magaradi otkupi janjetom ili jaretom. Ako je ne otkupiš, slomi joj vrat. A svakoga prvorođenca između svoje djece otkupi.

Every firstborn of a donkey you are to redeem with a lamb, but if you will not redeem it, then you must break its neck. And every firstborn of man among your sons you must 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 your son asks you in the future, saying, 'What is this?' then you are to tell him, 'With a mighty hand Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slavery.

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 happened, when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, that Jehovah killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of people and the firstborn of animals. This is why I am sacrificing to Jehovah any male that is first from the womb of an animal, but all my firstborn 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.”

So it will be as a sign on your hand and at the front of a headband around your forehead, for with a mighty hand Jehovah brought us 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.”

Then it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was nearby, for God said, "Lest the people change their minds when they see war and 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.

So God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up from the land of Egypt prepared for battle.

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 made the children of Israel swear an oath, saying, "God will surely attend to you, and you are to carry my bones up with you from this place."

20 Krenuvši iz Sukota, utabore se u Etamu, na kraju pustinje.

Then they set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on 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 God went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day and by night.

22 I nije ispred naroda nestajao stup od oblaka danju ni stup od ognja noću.

He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire at night from in front of the people.
