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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back to the king and tell him, ‘Yahweh says that you must let my people go, in order that they can worship me [in the desert].
2 Ako odbiješ da ih pustiš, svu ću ti zemlju kazniti žabama.
But if you refuse to let them go, I will punish you by sending frogs to cover your country.
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.
[Not only] will the Nile [River] be full of frogs, [but] the frogs will come up [out of the river] into your palace. They will come into your bedroom and onto your bed. They will be in the houses of your officials and all [the rest of] your people. They will even get into your ovens and your pans for mixing the materials for baking bread.
4 Po tebi, po tvome narodu i svim tvojim službenicima skakat će žabe.'”
The frogs will jump up on you and your officials and [all the rest of] your people.’”
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.”
Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Say this to Aaron: ‘Hold your stick in your hand and stretch it out [as though you were stretching it] over the river, the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up [from all this water and] cover the land of Egypt.’”
6 Aron pruži svoju ruku povrh egipatskih voda, i žabe iziđoše i prekriše zemlju egipatsku.
[After Moses/I told that to] Aaron, he stretched out his hand [as though he were stretching it] over all the water in Egypt. And the frogs came up [from the water and] covered Egypt.
7 Ali i vračari učiniše tako svojim vračanjem, te žabe navališe na egipatsku zemlju.
But the men who performed magic did the same thing, and they caused [more] frogs to come up [from the water onto the land].
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.”
Then the king summoned Moses/me and said, “Ask Yahweh to take away these frogs from me and my people. After that happens, I will allow your people to go, in order that they can offer sacrifices to Yahweh.”
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.”
Moses/I said to the king, “I will be glad to pray for you and for your officials and for [the rest of] your people. [I will ask Yahweh] to get rid of the frogs from all your houses. The only frogs left will be [those] in the Nile [River]. Just tell me when I should pray.”
10 “Sutra”, reče. “Neka bude kako kažeš”, odvrati Mojsije, “da znaš kako nitko nije kao Jahve, Bog naš.
He replied, “Tomorrow.” So Moses/I said, “[I will do] what you say, and then you will know that Yahweh God, the one we [worship, is the only true god], and that there is no other god like him.
11 Žabe će otići od tebe, od tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda; ostat će samo u Rijeci.”
The frogs will leave you and your officials and all [the rest of] your people. The only ones left will be in the Nile [River].”
12 Mojsije i Aron odu od faraona, a onda Mojsije zazva Jahvu zbog žaba kojima je kaznio faraona.
Aaron and Moses/I left the king. Then Moses/I prayed to Yahweh, [asking him to take away] all the frogs he had [brought to the king’s land].
13 I Jahve usliša Mojsija, te žabe pocrkaju po kućama, dvorištima i njivama.
And Yahweh did just what Moses/I [asked him to do]. As a result, all the frogs in the houses, in their courtyards, and in the fields died.
14 Na hrpe su ih zgrtali, zemlja se njima usmrdjela.
The people gathered together all the dead frogs into big piles, and the land stank [from the smell].
15 Kad je faraon vidio da je nastupilo olakšanje, srce mu otvrdnu te ne posluša Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.
But when the king saw that [the problem] was ended, he became stubborn [IDM] [again]. And just as Yahweh had predicted, he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/we told him.
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.”
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell Aaron to strike the ground with his stick. [When he does that], all the fine particles of ground/dust will become gnats, all over 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.
So they/we did that. Aaron struck the ground with his stick, and all over Egypt, the fine particles of ground/dirt became gnats. The gnats covered the people and all [their] animals.
18 Vračari pokušaše da svojim vračanjem stvore komarce, ali nisu mogli. Ljudi i životinje postanu plijenom komaraca.
The men who worked magic tried to cause gnats to appear, but they were unable to do it. So the gnats [stayed] on the Egyptian people and on their animals.
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.
The men who worked magic said to the king, “It is God who has done this with his power [MTY]!” But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to us, just as Yahweh had predicted.
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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. [Go down] to the river and wait for the king. [When he comes to bathe] [MTY], say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says to you: “Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
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.
[I warn you that] if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies to you. They will come down on you and on your officials and on [the rest of] your people. The houses of all you Egyptians will be full of flies. They will [even] cover the ground.
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.
But when that happens, I will treat the Goshen region, where my people live, differently. There will be no swarms of flies there. In that way, you will know that I, Yahweh, am doing these things [here] in this land.
23 Tu ću razliku napraviti između svoga i tvoga naroda. To će znamenje biti sutra.'”
I will distinguish clearly between [how I act toward] my people and [how I act toward] your people. And this plague is going to happen 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.
[Early the next morning, Moses/I told that to the king, but the king would not pay any attention]. So Yahweh did what he said he would do. He sent great swarms of flies into the palace of the king and into the houses of his officials. The whole country of Egypt was ruined by the flies.
25 Sad faraon pozove Mojsija i Arona pa im rekne: “Idite, prinesite žrtvu svome Bogu, ali u ovoj zemlji.”
Then the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You Israeli people can go and offer sacrifices to your god, [but you must do it] here in [this] 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?
But Moses/I replied, “It would not be right [for us] to do that, because we will be offering sacrifices that are very offensive to the Egyptian people. If we offer sacrifices that the Egyptian people think are disgusting, they will kill us by throwing stones at us [RHQ]!
27 Zato moramo u pustinju tri dana hoda te prinijeti žrtvu Jahvi, Bogu svome, kako nam je zapovjedio.”
No, we need to travel for three days into the desert. There we will offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God we worship, just as he commands (OR, has commanded) us.”
28 “Pustit ću vas da odete u pustinju”, odgovori faraon, “i prinesete žrtvu Jahvi, svome Bogu, ali ne odlazite predaleko. Molite za me!”
So the king said, “I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, your god, in the desert. But you must not go very far. [Now] pray 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.”
Moses/I said, “Listen [to me]! After I leave you, I will pray to Yahweh, [asking] that tomorrow [he will cause] the swarms of flies to leave you and your officials and [the rest of] your people. But do not deceive us again by refusing to let our people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh!”
30 Tako Mojsije ode od faraona i pomoli se Jahvi.
Then Moses/I left the king and prayed to Yahweh.
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 Yahweh did what Moses/I asked, and he got rid of the swarms of flies from [around] the king and his officials and [the rest of] his people. No flies remained.
32 Ali opet ukruti faraon srce svoje i ne dopusti narodu da ode.
But the king was stubborn [IDM] this time also, and he did not allow the Israeli people to go.
