Izlazak 14
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
And YHWH speaks 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 sons of Israel, and they turn back and encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Ba‘al-Zephon; you encamp in front of it by the sea,
3 Faraon će reći: 'Izraelci lutaju krajem tamo-amo; pustinja ih zatvorila.'
and Pharaoh has said of the sons of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness has shut on them;
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 have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he has pursued after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH”; and they do 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 is declared to the king of Egypt that the people have fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is turned against the people, and they say, “What [is] this we have done, that we have sent Israel away from our service?”
6 Zato opremi faraon svoja kola i povede svoju vojsku.
And he harnesses his chariot, and he has taken his people with him,
7 Uze šest stotina svojih kola sve poizbor i ostala kola po Egiptu. I u svima bijahu štitonoše.
and he takes six hundred chosen chariots, even all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all;
8 Jahve otvrdnu srce faraonu, kralju egipatskom, te on krenu u potjeru za Izraelcima, koji su otišli uzdignute pesnice.
and YHWH strengthens the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursues after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel are going 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 pursue after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Ba‘al-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 has drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians are journeying after them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH.
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 say to Moses, “Because there are no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in a wilderness? What is this you have done to us—to bring us out from 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 this not the word which we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for [it is] better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a 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 says to the people, “Do not fear, station yourselves, and see the salvation of YHWH, which He does for you today; for as you have seen the Egyptians today, you add no more to see them for all time;
14 Jahve će se boriti za vas. Budite mirni!”
YHWH fights for you, and you keep silent.”
15 “Zašto zapomažete prema meni?” - reče Jahve Mojsiju. “Reci Izraelcima da krenu na put.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and they journey;
16 A ti podigni svoj štap, ispruži svoju ruku nad morem i razdijeli ga nadvoje da Izraelci mogu proći posred mora po suhu.
and you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand toward the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on 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 I—behold, I am strengthening the heart of the Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honored by Pharaoh, and by all his force, by his chariots, and by his horsemen;
18 Neka znaju Egipćani da sam ja Jahve kad se proslavim nad faraonom, njegovim kolima i njegovim konjanicima.”
and the Egyptians have known that I [am] YHWH, in My being honored by Pharaoh, by his chariots, and by 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 Messenger of God, who is going before the camp of Israel, journeys and goes at their rear; and the pillar of the cloud journeys from their front, and stands at their rear,
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 comes in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he enlightens the night, and the one has not drawn near to 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 stretches out his hand toward the sea, and YHWH causes the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the night, and makes the sea become dry ground, and the waters are cleaved,
22 Izraelci siđoše u more na osušeno dno, a vode stajahu kao bedem njima nadesno i nalijevo.
and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea on dry land, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left.
23 Egipćani: svi faraonovi konji, kola i konjanici, nagnu za njima u more, u potjeru.
And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the horses of Pharaoh, 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 comes to pass, in the morning watch, that YHWH looks to the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubles 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 turns aside the wheels of their chariots, and they lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for YHWH is fighting for them against the Egyptians.”
26 “Pruži ruku nad more da se vode vrate na Egipćane, na njihova kola i konjanike.”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on 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 stretches out his hand toward the sea, and the sea turns back, at the turning of the morning, to its perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming, and YHWH shakes 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 waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in after them into the sea—there has not been left even one of them.
29 A Izraelci išli suhim posred mora, vode im stale kao zid zdesna i slijeva.
And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [are] a wall to them, on their right and on their left;
30 Tako Jahve u onaj dan izbavi Izraela iz šaka egipatskih, i vidje Izrael pomorene Egipćane na morskome žalu.
and YHWH saves Israel out of the hand of the Egyptians in that day, and Israel sees the Egyptians dead on the seashore,
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 sees the great hand with which YHWH has worked against the Egyptians, and the people fear YHWH, and remain steadfast in YHWH, and in His servant Moses.
