Izlazak 14
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Reci Izraelcima da se vrate i utabore pred Pi-Hahirotom, između Migdola i mora, nasuprot Baal-Sefonu. Utaborite se nasuprot ovome mjestu, uz more.
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea: before Baal-Zephon, opposite to it, shall ye encamp by the sea.
3 Faraon će reći: 'Izraelci lutaju krajem tamo-amo; pustinja ih zatvorila.'
And Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has hemmed them in.
4 Ja ću otvrdnuti faraonu srce, i on će za njima poći u potjeru. Ali ja ću se proslaviti nad faraonom i svom njegovom vojskom. Tako će Egipćani spoznati da sam ja Jahve.” Izraelci tako učine.
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he may pursue after them; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh, and in all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah. And they did so.
5 Kad su egipatskom kralju kazali da je narod pobjegao, faraon i njegovi dvorani predomisliše se o narodu. “Što ovo učinismo!” - rekoše. “Pustismo Izraelce i više nam neće služiti.”
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his bondmen was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from our service?
6 Zato opremi faraon svoja kola i povede svoju vojsku.
And he yoked his chariot, and took his people with him.
7 Uze šest stotina svojih kola sve poizbor i ostala kola po Egiptu. I u svima bijahu štitonoše.
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
8 Jahve otvrdnu srce faraonu, kralju egipatskom, te on krenu u potjeru za Izraelcima, koji su otišli uzdignute pesnice.
And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel had gone out with a high hand.
9 Egipćani, dakle, pođu za njima u potjeru. I dok su Izraelci taborovali uz more, blizu Pi-Hahirota nasuprot Baal-Sefonu, stignu ih svi faraonovi konji pod kolima, njegovi konjanici i njegovi ratnici.
And the Egyptians pursued after them, — all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them where they had encamped by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, opposite to Baal-Zephon.
10 Kako se faraon približavao, Izraelci pogledaju i opaze da su Egipćani za njima u potjeri, pa ih obuzme velik strah. I poviču Izraelci Jahvi:
And Pharaoh approached; and the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and the children of Israel were much afraid, and cried out to Jehovah.
11 “Zar nije bilo grobova u Egiptu”, reknu Mojsiju, “pa si nas izveo da pomremo u pustinji? Kakvu si nam uslugu učinio što si nas izveo iz Egipta!
And they said to Moses, Is it because there were no graves in Egypt, thou hast taken us away to die in the wilderness? why hast thou done this to us, that thou hast led us out of Egypt?
12 Zar ti nismo rekli baš ovo u Egiptu: Pusti nas! Služit ćemo Egipćane! Bolje nam je i njih služiti nego u pustinji poginuti.”
Is not this what we told thee in Egypt, when we said, Let us alone, and we will serve the Egyptians? For [it had been] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.
13 “Ne bojte se!” - reče Mojsije narodu. “Stojte čvrsto pa ćete vidjeti što će vam Jahve učiniti da vas danas spasi: Egipćane koje danas vidite nikad više nećete vidjeti.
And Moses said to the people, Fear not: stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will work for you to-day; for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 Jahve će se boriti za vas. Budite mirni!”
Jehovah will fight for you, and ye shall be still.
15 “Zašto zapomažete prema meni?” - reče Jahve Mojsiju. “Reci Izraelcima da krenu na put.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Why dost thou cry unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 A ti podigni svoj štap, ispruži svoju ruku nad morem i razdijeli ga nadvoje da Izraelci mogu proći posred mora po suhu.
And thou, lift thy staff, and stretch out thy hand over the sea, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea.
17 Ja ću otvrdnuti srce Egipćana, i oni će poći za njima, a ja ću se onda proslaviti nad faraonom i njegovim ratnicima, njegovim kolima i konjanicima.
And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall pursue after them; and I will glorify myself in Pharaoh and in all his host, in his chariots and in his horsemen.
18 Neka znaju Egipćani da sam ja Jahve kad se proslavim nad faraonom, njegovim kolima i njegovim konjanicima.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have glorified myself in Pharaoh, in his chariots and in his horsemen.
19 Anđeo Božji, koji je išao na čelu izraelskih četa, promijeni mjesto i stupi im za leđa. A i stup od oblaka pomakne se ispred njih i stade im za leđa.
And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before them, and stood behind them.
20 Smjesti se između vojske egipatske i vojske izraelske te postade onima oblak taman, a ovima rasvjetljivaše noć, tako te ne mogoše jedni drugima prići cijele noći.
And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and was a cloud and darkness, and lit up the night; and the one did not come near the other all the night.
21 Mojsije je držao ruku ispruženu nad morem dok je Jahve svu noć na stranu valjao vode jakim istočnim vjetrom i more posušio. Kad su se vode razdvojile,
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah made the sea go [back] by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.
22 Izraelci siđoše u more na osušeno dno, a vode stajahu kao bedem njima nadesno i nalijevo.
And the children of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry [ground]; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Egipćani: svi faraonovi konji, kola i konjanici, nagnu za njima u more, u potjeru.
And the Egyptians pursued and came after them — all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots and his horsemen, into the midst of the sea.
24 Za jutarnje straže pogleda Jahve iz stupa od ognja i oblaka na egipatsku vojsku i u njoj stvori zbrku.
And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Jehovah looked upon the camp of the Egyptians, in the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and embarrassed the camp of the Egyptians.
25 Zakoči točkove njihovih kola da su se jedva naprijed micali. “Bježimo od Izraelaca!” - poviču Egipćani, “jer Jahve se za njih bori protiv Egipćana!” Tada će Jahve Mojsiju:
And he took off their chariot wheels, and caused them to drive with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee before Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians!
26 “Pruži ruku nad more da se vode vrate na Egipćane, na njihova kola i konjanike.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots and upon their horsemen.
27 Mojsije pruži ruku nad more i u cik zore more se vrati u svoje korito. Kako su Egipćani, bježeći, jurili prema moru, Jahve ih strmoglavi usred voda.
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength toward the morning; and the Egyptians fled against it; and Jehovah overturned the Egyptians into the midst of the sea.
28 Tako vode, slijevajući se natrag, potope kola, konjanike i svu vojsku faraonovu koja bijaše pošla u potjeru za Izraelcima - u more. I ne ostade od njih ni jedan jedini.
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen of all the host of Pharaoh that had come into the sea after them; there remained not even one of them.
29 A Izraelci išli suhim posred mora, vode im stale kao zid zdesna i slijeva.
And the children of Israel walked on dry [ground] through the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Tako Jahve u onaj dan izbavi Izraela iz šaka egipatskih, i vidje Izrael pomorene Egipćane na morskome žalu.
Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea-shore.
31 Osvjedoči se Izrael i o silnoj moći koju Jahve pokaza nad Egipćanima. Narod se poboja Jahve i povjerova Jahvi i njegovu sluzi Mojsiju.
And Israel saw the great power [with] which Jehovah had wrought against the Egyptians; and the people feared Jehovah, and believed in Jehovah, and in Moses his bondman.
