Izlazak 14
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And the Lord 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 to the children of Israel, and let them turn and encamp before the village, between Magdol and the sea, opposite Beel-sepphon: before them shall you encamp by the sea.
3 Faraon će reći: 'Izraelci lutaju krajem tamo-amo; pustinja ih zatvorila.'
And Pharao will say to his people, As for these children of Israel, they are wandering in the land, for the wilderness has shut 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 the heart of Pharao, and he shall pursue after them; and I will be glorified in Pharao, and in all his host, and all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. 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 reported to the king of the Egyptians that the people had fled: and the heart of Pharao was turned, and that of his servants against the people; and they said, What is this that we have done, to let the children of Israel go, so that they should not serve us?
6 Zato opremi faraon svoja kola i povede svoju vojsku.
So Pharao yoked his chariots, and led off all his people with himself:
7 Uze šest stotina svojih kola sve poizbor i ostala kola po Egiptu. I u svima bijahu štitonoše.
having also taken six hundred chosen chariots, and all the cavalry of the Egyptians, and rulers over all.
8 Jahve otvrdnu srce faraonu, kralju egipatskom, te on krenu u potjeru za Izraelcima, koji su otišli uzdignute pesnice.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharao king of Egypt, and of his servants, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went forth 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, and found them encamped by the sea; and all the cavalry and the chariots of Pharao, and the horsemen, and his host [were] before the village, over against Beel-sepphon.
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 Pharao approached, and the children of Israel having looked up, saw, and the Egyptians encamped behind them: and they were very greatly terrified, and the children of Israel cried to the Lord;
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 said to Moses, Because there were no graves in the land of Egypt, have you brought us forth to kill [us] in the wilderness? What is this that you have done to us, having brought 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 the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? for it is better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in this 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, Be of good courage: stand and see the salvation which is from the Lord, which he will work for us this day; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you shall see them again no more for ever.
14 Jahve će se boriti za vas. Budite mirni!”
The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
15 “Zašto zapomažete prema meni?” - reče Jahve Mojsiju. “Reci Izraelcima da krenu na put.
and the Lord said to Moses, Why cry you to me? speak to the children of Israel, and let them proceed.
16 A ti podigni svoj štap, ispruži svoju ruku nad morem i razdijeli ga nadvoje da Izraelci mogu proći posred mora po suhu.
And do you lift up your rod, and stretch forth your hand over the sea, and divide it, and let the children of Israel enter into the midst of the sea on the dry land.
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 behold! I will harden the heart of Pharao and of all the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them; and I will be glorified upon Pharao, and on all his host, and on his chariots and his horses.
18 Neka znaju Egipćani da sam ja Jahve kad se proslavim nad faraonom, njegovim kolima i njegovim konjanicima.”
And all the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I am glorified upon Pharao and upon his chariots and his horses.
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 that went before the camp of the children of Israel removed and went behind, and the pillar of the cloud also removed 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 went between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and stood; and there was darkness and blackness; and the night passed, and they came not near to one another during the whole 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 forth his hand over the sea, and the Lord carried back the sea with a strong south wind all the night, and made the sea dry, and the water was divided.
22 Izraelci siđoše u more na osušeno dno, a vode stajahu kao bedem njima nadesno i nalijevo.
And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the water of it was a wall on the right hand and a wall on the left.
23 Egipćani: svi faraonovi konji, kola i konjanici, nagnu za njima u more, u potjeru.
And the Egyptians pursued them and went in after them, and every horse of Pharao, and 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 the Lord looked forth on the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and troubled 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 bound the axle-trees of their chariots, and caused them to go with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.
26 “Pruži ruku nad more da se vode vrate na Egipćane, na njihova kola i konjanike.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch forth tine hand over the sea, and let the water be turned back to its place, and let it cover the Egyptians [coming] both upon the chariots and the riders.
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 forth his hand over the sea, and the water returned to its place toward day; and the Egyptians fled from the water, and the Lord shook off the Egyptians in 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 water returned and covered the chariots and the riders, and all the forces of Pharao, who entered after them into the sea: and there was not left of them even one.
29 A Izraelci išli suhim posred mora, vode im stale kao zid zdesna i slijeva.
But the children of Israel went along dry land in the midst of the sea, and the water was to them a wall on the right hand, and a wall on the left.
30 Tako Jahve u onaj dan izbavi Izraela iz šaka egipatskih, i vidje Izrael pomorene Egipćane na morskome žalu.
So the Lord delivered Israel in that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead by the shore of the sea.
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 mighty hand, the [things] which the Lord did to the Egyptians; and the people feared the Lord, and they believed God and Moses his servant.
