Izlazak 5
1 Poslije toga odu Mojsije i Aron pa reknu faraonu: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Pusti narod moj da ode i u moju čast slavi svetkovinu.'”
And afterwards have Moses and Aaron entered, and they say unto Pharaoh, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Send My people away, and they keep a feast to Me in the wilderness;'
2 “Tko je taj Jahve da ga ja poslušam”, odvrati faraon, “i pustim Izraelce? Ja toga Jahvu ne znam niti ću pustiti Izraelce.”
and Pharaoh saith, 'Who [is] Jehovah, that I hearken to His voice, to send Israel away? I have not known Jehovah, and Israel also I do not send away.'
3 “Bog Hebreja objavio nam se”, rekoše. “Zato nas pusti da odemo tri dana hoda u pustinju i prinesemo žrtvu Jahvi, Bogu svome, da se na nas ne obori pomorom ili mačem.”
And they say, 'The God of the Hebrews hath met with us, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God, lest He meet us with pestilence or with sword.'
4 Nato im odvrati egipatski kralj: “Mojsije i Arone, zašto odvraćate svijet od njegovih dužnosti? Idite na svoj posao.
And the king of Egypt saith unto them, 'Why, Moses and Aaron, do ye free the people from its works? go to your burdens.'
5 Sad kad se svjetina tako umnožila”, nastavi faraon, “vi biste ih od posla odvratili?”
Pharaoh also saith, 'Lo, numerous now [is] the people of the land, and ye have caused them to cease from their burdens!'
6 Istoga dana izda faraon naredbu nadglednicima i bilježnicima:
And Pharaoh commandeth, on that day, the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
7 “Ne pribavljajte više ovome narodu slame kao do sada. Neka idu sami i sebi je skupljaju.
'Ye do not add to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks, as heretofore — they go and have gathered straw for themselves;
8 A zahtijevajte od njih istu količinu opeke koju su pravili i dosad. Ne smanjujte je! Lijenčine su. Zato viču: 'Hajdemo prinijeti žrtvu Bogu svome!'
and the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making heretofore ye do put on them, ye do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God;
9 Navalite poslove na taj svijet: neka rade, da ne obraćaju pažnje klevetama!”
let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.'
10 Sad dođu nadglednici naroda i njegovi bilježnici te svijetu objave: “Ovako poručuje faraon: 'Neću vam više nabavljati slame.
And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak unto the people, saying, 'Thus said Pharaoh, I do not give you straw,
11 Vi sami morate ići i tražiti je gdje god je možete naći. Ali zato neću smanjiti vaš posao.'”
ye — go ye, take for yourselves straw where ye find [it], for there is nothing of your service diminished.'
12 Stoga se narod raziđe po svoj zemlji egipatskoj da skuplja strnjiku namjesto slame.
And the people is scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
13 A nadglednici ih gonili: “Morate svakoga dana svršiti jednako posla kao i onda dok ste slamu dobivali.”
and the exactors are making haste, saying, 'Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.'
14 A bilježnike koje faraonovi nadglednici bijahu postavili nad Izraelcima tukli su i korili: “Zašto niste ni jučer ni danas napravili opeke koliko i prije?”
And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying, 'Wherefore have ye not completed your portion in making brick as heretofore, both yesterday and to-day?'
15 Onda bilježnici Izraelaca odu i potuže se faraonu: “Zašto ovako postupaš sa svojim slugama?
And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry unto Pharaoh, saying, 'Why dost thou thus to thy servants?
16 Tvoje sluge više ne dobivaju slame, a ipak se od nas traži: napravite opeku? Čak i tuku tvoje sluge, a kriv je tvoj narod!”
Straw is not given to thy servants, and they are saying to us, Make bricks, and lo, thy servants are smitten — and thy people hath sinned.'
17 “Lijenčine ste vi! Lijenčine!” - odgovori faraon. “Stoga i kažete: 'Hajdemo da prinesemo žrtvu Jahvi!'
And he saith, 'Remiss — ye are remiss, therefore ye are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to Jehovah;
18 Nosite se na posao! Slama vam se neće davati, ali morate praviti određene količine opeke.”
and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and the measure of bricks ye do give.'
19 Bilježnici Izraelaca nađu se na muci zbog naredbe: “Svakodnevnu količinu opeke ne smijete smanjiti!”
And the authorities of the sons of Israel see them in affliction, saying, 'Ye do not diminish from your bricks; the matter of a day in its day.'
20 Otišavši od faraona, naiđu na Mojsija i Arona, koji su ih čekali.
And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them, in their coming out from Pharaoh,
21 “Neka vas Jahve ima na oku i sudi vam!” - dobace im. “Omrazili ste nas kod faraona i njegovih dvorana; dali ste im mač u ruke da nas pobiju.”
and say unto them, 'Jehovah look upon you, and judge, because ye have caused our fragrance to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants — to give a sword into their hand to slay us.'
22 Mojsije se vrati Jahvi i reče: “Zašto, Gospodine, nanosiš štetu svome puku? Zašto si me poslao?
And Moses turneth back unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Lord, why hast Thou done evil to this people? why [is] this? — Thou hast sent me!
23 Otkad sam ja stupio pred faraona i progovorio mu u tvoje ime, on još gore postupa s ovim narodom. A ti ništa ne poduzimaš da izbaviš svoj narod.”
and since I have come unto Pharaoh, to speak in Thy name, he hath done evil to this people, and Thou hast not at all delivered Thy people.'
