< Izlazak 8 >
1 opet Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Pođi k faraonu i reci mu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Pusti moj narod da ode i štovanje mi iskaže.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;
2 Ako odbiješ da ih pustiš, svu ću ti zemlju kazniti žabama.
and if you are refusing to send [them] away, behold, I am striking all your border with frogs;
3 Rijeka će vrvjeti žabama. One će izići i prodrijeti u tvoj dvor, u ložnicu, u tvoju postelju, u kuće tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda, pod sačeve i naćve tvoje.
and the River has teemed [with] frogs, and they have gone up and gone into your house, and into the inner-chamber of your bed, and on your couch, and into the house of your servants, and among your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading-troughs;
4 Po tebi, po tvome narodu i svim tvojim službenicima skakat će žabe.'”
indeed, on you, and on your people, and on all your servants the frogs go up.”
5 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Reci Aronu neka ispruži svoju ruku sa štapom povrh rijeka, prokopa i jezeraca i učini da žabe navale na egipatsku zemlju.”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your hand, with your rod, against the streams, against the rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.”
6 Aron pruži svoju ruku povrh egipatskih voda, i žabe iziđoše i prekriše zemlju egipatsku.
And Aaron stretches out his hand against the waters of Egypt, and the frog comes up, and covers the land of Egypt;
7 Ali i vračari učiniše tako svojim vračanjem, te žabe navališe na egipatsku zemlju.
and the enchanters do so with their secrets, and cause the frogs to come up against the land of Egypt.
8 Zovne sad faraon Mojsija i Arona i rekne: “Molite Jahvu da ukloni žabe od mene i moga puka, a ja ću pustiti narod da prinese žrtvu Jahvi.”
And Pharaoh calls for Moses and for Aaron and says, “Make supplication to YHWH, that he may turn aside the frogs from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and they sacrifice to YHWH.”
9 Mojsije uzvrati faraonu: “Dostoj se odrediti mi kad hoćeš da molim za te, za tvoje službenike i za tvoj narod da se žabe odstrane od tebe i tvojih domova i ostanu samo u Rijeci.”
And Moses says to Pharaoh, “Beautify yourself over me; when do I make supplication for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses—only in the River they remain?”
10 “Sutra”, reče. “Neka bude kako kažeš”, odvrati Mojsije, “da znaš kako nitko nije kao Jahve, Bog naš.
And he says, “Tomorrow.” And he says, “According to your word [it is], so that you know that there is none like our God YHWH,
11 Žabe će otići od tebe, od tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda; ostat će samo u Rijeci.”
and the frogs have turned aside from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people; only in the River they remain.”
12 Mojsije i Aron odu od faraona, a onda Mojsije zazva Jahvu zbog žaba kojima je kaznio faraona.
And Moses—Aaron also—goes out from Pharaoh, and Moses cries to YHWH concerning the matter of the frogs which He has set on Pharaoh;
13 I Jahve usliša Mojsija, te žabe pocrkaju po kućama, dvorištima i njivama.
and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and the frogs die out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields,
14 Na hrpe su ih zgrtali, zemlja se njima usmrdjela.
and they heap them up together, and the land stinks.
15 Kad je faraon vidio da je nastupilo olakšanje, srce mu otvrdnu te ne posluša Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.
And Pharaoh sees that there has been a respite, and he has hardened his heart, and has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.
16 Onda će opet Jahve Mojsiju: “Reci Aronu neka zamahne svojim štapom i udari po prahu na tlu neka se pretvori u komarce po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.”
And YHWH says to Moses, “Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, and it has become gnats in all the land of Egypt.”
17 I učine tako: zamahne Aron rukom i štapom te udari po prahu na tlu. Komarci navale na ljude i životinje. Sav prah na tlu pretvori se u komarce po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
And they do so, and Aaron stretches out his hand with his rod, and strikes the dust of the land, and the gnats are on man and on beast; all the dust of the land has been gnats in all the land of Egypt.
18 Vračari pokušaše da svojim vračanjem stvore komarce, ali nisu mogli. Ljudi i životinje postanu plijenom komaraca.
And the enchanters do so with their secrets, to bring out the gnats, and they have not been able, and the gnats are on man and on beast;
19 Tada vračari reknu faraonu: “To je prst Božji!” Ali je faraonovo srce bilo okorjelo, pa nije poslušao Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.
and the enchanters say to Pharaoh, “It [is] the finger of God”; and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he has not listened to them, as YHWH has spoken.
20 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Podrani ujutro, iziđi pred faraona kad krene k vodi, i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve: Pusti moj narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Rise early in the morning, and station yourself before Pharaoh, behold, he is going out to the waters, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Send My people away, and they serve Me;
21 Ako ne pustiš moga naroda, pripustit ću obade na te, na tvoje službenike, na tvoj puk i tvoje domove. Egipatski domovi i samo tlo na kojem stoje vrvjet će od obada.
for if you are not sending My people away, behold, I am sending against you, and against your servants, and against your people, and against your houses, the beetle, and the houses of the Egyptians have been full of the beetle, and also the ground on which they are.
22 Ali ću toga dana izuzeti gošenski kraj, u kojem živi moj narod, te se ondje obadi neće pojaviti, tako da znaš da sam ja Jahve u središtu zemlje.
And I have separated in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people are staying, that the beetle is not there, so that you know that I [am] YHWH in the midst of the land,
23 Tu ću razliku napraviti između svoga i tvoga naroda. To će znamenje biti sutra.'”
and I have put a division between My people and your people; this sign is tomorrow.”
24 I učini Jahve tako. Rojevi obada nalete u faraonov dvor, na domove njegovih službenika i po svoj zemlji egipatskoj. Zemlja nastrada od obada.
And YHWH does so, and the grievous beetle enters the house of Pharaoh, and the house of his servants, and in all the land of Egypt the land is corrupted from the presence of the beetle.
25 Sad faraon pozove Mojsija i Arona pa im rekne: “Idite, prinesite žrtvu svome Bogu, ali u ovoj zemlji.”
And Pharaoh calls to Moses and to Aaron and says, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land”;
26 “Ne dolikuje da tako učinimo”, odgovori Mojsije. “Žrtve koje mi prinosimo Jahvi, Bogu svome, za Egipćane su svetogrđe. Kad bismo, dakle, na njihove oči prinosili žrtve koje su Egipćanima svetogrdne, zar nas ne bi kamenovali?
and Moses says, “[It is] not right to do so—for us to sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to our God YHWH; behold, we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes—and they do not stone us!
27 Zato moramo u pustinju tri dana hoda te prinijeti žrtvu Jahvi, Bogu svome, kako nam je zapovjedio.”
We go a journey of three days into the wilderness and have sacrificed to our God YHWH as He says to us.”
28 “Pustit ću vas da odete u pustinju”, odgovori faraon, “i prinesete žrtvu Jahvi, svome Bogu, ali ne odlazite predaleko. Molite za me!”
And Pharaoh says, “I send you away, and you have sacrificed to your God YHWH in the wilderness, only do not go very far off; make supplication for me”;
29 Nato odvrati Mojsije: “Čim odem od tebe, zazvat ću Jahvu da sutra nestane obada s faraona, njegovih službenika i njegova puka. Ali neka faraon više ne vara! Neka pusti narod da ide i prinese žrtvu Jahvi.”
and Moses says, “Behold, I am going out from you, and have made supplication to YHWH, and tomorrow the beetle has turned aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; only, do not let Pharaoh add to deceive in not sending the people away to sacrifice to YHWH.”
30 Tako Mojsije ode od faraona i pomoli se Jahvi.
And Moses goes out from Pharaoh, and makes supplication to YHWH,
31 I Jahve učini kako je Mojsije tražio: s faraona, s njegovih službenika i s njegova puka nestane obada - ni jedan jedini nije ostao.
and YHWH does according to the word of Moses, and turns aside the beetle from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people—there has not been one left;
32 Ali opet ukruti faraon srce svoje i ne dopusti narodu da ode.
and Pharaoh also hardens his heart at this time, and has not sent the people away.
