Izlazak 7
1 Mojsiju je Jahve odgovorio: “Vidi! Faraonu ću te nametnuti kao božanstvo; tvoj brat Aron bit će tvoj prorok.
And the LORD said to Moses, See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.
2 Ti kazuj sve što ti naređujem, a tvoj brat Aron neka faraonu ponovi da pusti Izraelce te odu iz njegove zemlje.
You shall speak all that I command you: and Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
3 Ja ću učiniti da otvrdne srce faraonu i umnožit ću znakove i čudesa u zemlji egipatskoj.
And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
4 Kako vas faraon neće poslušati, ja ću staviti svoju ruku na Egipat: strašno kažnjavajući, izbavit ću svoje čete, narod svoj, Izraelce, iz egipatske zemlje.
But Pharaoh shall not listen to you, that I may lay my hand on Egypt, and bring forth my armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
5 Kad pružim svoju ruku na Egipat i izvedem Izraelce iz njihove sredine, tada će Egipćani spoznati da sam ja Jahve.”
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth my hand on Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
6 Mojsije i Aron poslušaše: kako im je Jahve naredio, upravo tako učiniše.
And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
7 Mojsiju je bilo osamdeset, a Aronu osamdeset i tri godine kad su faraonu postavili svoje zahtjeve.
And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh.
8 Još doda Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
9 “Kad faraon zatraži od vas da izvedete kakvo znamenje, ti reci Aronu da uzme svoj štap i baci ga pred faraona, a štap će se pretvoriti u zmiju.”
When Pharaoh shall speak to you, saying, Show a miracle for you: then you shall say to Aaron, Take your rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10 Dođu Mojsije i Aron pred faraona i učine kako im je Jahve naredio. Aron baci pred faraona i njegove službenike svoj štap, koji se pretvori u zmiju.
And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 Zovne faraon mudrace i vračare. I zaista, egipatski vračari svojim vračanjem učine isto:
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 svaki baci svoj štap, koji se pretvori u zmiju. Ali Aronov štap proguta njihove štapove.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 Faraon bijaše tvrdokorna srca: ne htjede poslušati Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.
And he hardened Pharaoh’s heart, that he listened not to them; as the LORD had said.
14 Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Faraonovo je srce okorjelo; odbija da pusti narod.
And the LORD said to Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuses to let the people go.
15 Ujutro pođi k faraonu. Kad izađe k vodi, stani preda nj na obali Rijeke. Uzmi u ruku štap što se bio u zmiju pretvorio.
Get you to Pharaoh in the morning; see, he goes out to the water; and you shall stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shall you take in your hand.
16 Reci mu: 'Jahve, Bog Hebreja, poslao me k tebi s porukom da pustiš moj narod da mi iskaže štovanje u pustinji. Ali sve dosad ti nisi poslušao.
And you shall say to him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, till now you would not hear.
17 Ovako Jahve poručuje: Ovim ćeš spoznati da sam ja Jahve. Gledaj! Štapom koji imam u ruci mlatnut ću po vodi u Rijeci i pretvorit će se u krv.
Thus says the LORD, In this you shall know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand on the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
18 Ribe će u Rijeci pocrkati; Rijeka će se usmrdjeti, i grstit će se Egipćanima piti vodu iz Rijeke.'”
And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall loathe to drink of the water of the river.
19 Još Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Reci Aronu da uzme svoj štap i pruži svoju ruku povrh egipatskih voda: njihovih rijeka, njihovih prokopa, njihovih jezeraca, svih njihovih vodenih stjecišta, da se pretvore u krv; po svoj zemlji egipatskoj neka je krv, čak i u drvenim i kamenim posudama.”
And the LORD spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand on the waters of Egypt, on their streams, on their rivers, and on their ponds, and on all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
20 Mojsije i Aron učiniše kako im je Jahve naredio. Podiže Aron svoj štap i naočigled faraona i njegovih službenika mlatnu po vodi u Rijeci. Sva se voda u Rijeci prometnu u krv.
And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
21 Ribe u Rijeci pocrkaše; Rijeka se usmrdje, tako da Egipćani nisu mogli piti vodu iz Rijeke; krv bijaše po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
22 Ali egipatski vračari svojim vračanjem učiniše isto. Tako faraon ostade tvrdokorna srca: nije htio poslušati Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.
And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, neither did he listen to them; as the LORD had said.
23 Faraon se okrenu i ode u svoj dvor, ne uzimajući ni to k srcu.
And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
24 Svi su Egipćani počeli kopati oko Rijeke tražeći pitke vode jer nisu mogli piti vode iz Rijeke.
And all the Egyptians dig round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
25 Kad je prošlo sedam dana kako je Jahve udario po Rijeci,
And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
