Izlazak 9
1 Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Idi k faraonu i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve, Bog Hebreja: Pusti moj narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
2 Ako ga ne pustiš, nego ga i dalje budeš zadržavao,
But if you continue to restrain them and refuse to let them go,
3 ruka Jahvina udarit će strašnim pomorom po tvome blagu što je u polju: po konjima, magaradi, devama, krupnoj i sitnoj stoci.
then the hand of the LORD will bring a severe plague on your livestock in the field—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
4 Razlikovat će Jahve stoku Izraelaca od stoke Egipćana, tako da ništa što pripada Izraelcima neće stradati.'”
But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that no animal belonging to the Israelites will die.’”
5 Jahve je odredio i vrijeme, rekavši: “Sutra će Jahve izvesti ovo u zemlji.”
The LORD set a time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this in the land.”
6 Sutradan Jahve tako i učini. Sva stoka Egipćana ugine, a od stoke Izraelaca nije uginulo ni jedno grlo.
And the next day the LORD did just that. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but not one animal belonging to the Israelites died.
7 Faraon je istraživao i uvjerio se da od izraelske stoke nije uginulo ni jedno grlo. Ali je srce faraonovo ipak otvrdlo i nije pustio naroda.
Pharaoh sent officials and found that none of the livestock of the Israelites had died. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the people go.
8 Reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu: “Zagrabite pune pregršti pepela iz peći, pa neka ga Mojsije pred faraonovim očima baci prema nebu.
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “Take handfuls of soot from the furnace; in the sight of Pharaoh, Moses is to toss it into the air.
9 Od toga će nastati sitna prašina po svoj zemlji egipatskoj, i na ljudima će i na životinjama izazivati otekline i stvarati čireve s kraja na kraj Egipta.”
It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and festering boils will break out on man and beast throughout the land.”
10 Tako oni uzeše pepela iz peći i dođoše pred faraona. Onda Mojsije rasu pepeo prema nebu, a otekline s čirevima prekriše ljude i životinje.
So they took soot from the furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering boils broke out on man and beast.
11 Ni čarobnjaci se nisu mogli pojaviti pred Mojsijem, jer su i čarobnjaci, kao i ostali Egipćani, bili prekriveni čirevima.
The magicians could not stand before Moses, because the boils had broken out on them and on all the Egyptians.
12 Ali je Jahve otvrdnuo srce faraonu, pa on ne posluša Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve Mojsiju i rekao.
But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said to Moses.
13 Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Podrani ujutro, iziđi pred faraona i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve, Bog Hebreja: Pusti narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, stand before Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
14 Ako ih ne pustiš, sva zla svoja navalit ću ovaj put na te, na tvoje službenike i tvoj puk, tako da spoznaš da nema nikoga na svoj zemlji kao što sam ja.
Otherwise, I will send all My plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.
15 Da sam ruku svoju spustio i udario tebe i tvoj puk pomorom, nestalo bi te sa zemlje.
For by this time I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with a plague to wipe you off the earth.
16 Poštedio sam te da ti pokažem svoju moć i da se hvali moje ime po svoj zemlji.
But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power to you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
17 Ali se ti previše uzdižeš nad mojim narodom i priječiš mu da ode.
Still, you lord it over My people and do not allow them to go.
18 Sutra u ovo doba pustit ću tuču tako strašnu kakve u Egiptu još nije bilo otkad je postao do sada.
Behold, at this time tomorrow I will rain down the worst hail that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the day it was founded until now.
19 Zato naredi da pod krov utjeraju tvoje blago i sve što je vani, na otvorenu. Sve što se nađe u polju, bilo čovjek bilo živinče, ne bude li uvedeno unutra, poginut će kad tuča zaspe po njima.'”
So give orders now to shelter your livestock and everything you have in the field. Every man or beast that remains in the field and is not brought inside will die when the hail comes down upon them.’”
20 Faraonovi službenici, koji su se pobojali Jahvina govora, utjeraju svoje sluge i svoje blago unutra.
Those among Pharaoh’s officials who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their servants and livestock to shelter,
21 Oni koji nisu marili za Jahvinu prijetnju ostave vani i svoje sluge i stoku.
but those who disregarded the word of the LORD left their servants and livestock in the field.
22 Onda rekne Jahve Mojsiju: “Pruži ruku prema nebu da udari tuča po svoj zemlji egipatskoj: po ljudima, životinjama i svemu bilju u zemlji egipatskoj.”
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that hail may fall on all the land of Egypt—on man and beast and every plant of the field throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 Mojsije diže svoj štap prema nebu. Jahve zagrmje i pusti tuču i munje sastavi sa zemljom. Sipao je Jahve tuču po zemlji Egipćana.
So Moses stretched out his staff toward heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and lightning struck the earth. So the LORD rained down hail upon the land of Egypt.
24 Tuča je mlatila, kroz nju munje parale. Strahota se takva nije oborila na zemlju egipatsku otkako su ljudi u njoj.
The hail fell and the lightning continued flashing through it. The hail was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.
25 Tuča pobi po svem Egiptu sve što je ostalo vani, ljude i životinje; uništi sve bilje po poljima i sva stabla poljska polomi.
Throughout the land of Egypt, the hail struck down everything in the field, both man and beast; it beat down every plant of the field and stripped every tree.
26 Samo u gošenskom kraju, gdje su živjeli Izraelci, nije bilo tuče.
The only place where it did not hail was in the land of Goshen, where the Israelites lived.
27 Faraon posla po Mojsija i Arona pa im reče: “Ovaj put priznajem da sam kriv. Jahve ima pravo, a ja i moj narod krivo.
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron. “This time I have sinned,” he said. “The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Molite Jahvu da ustavi gromove i tuču, a ja ću vas pustiti da idete. Nećete više dugo ostati.”
Pray to the LORD, for there has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you do not need to stay any longer.”
29 “Kad iziđem iz grada”, reče mu Mojsije, “dići ću ruke prema Jahvi, pa će gromovi prestati, a ni tuče više neće biti, tako da znaš da zemlja pripada Jahvi.
Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
30 Ali ni ti ni tvoji dvorani, znam ja, još se ne bojite Boga Jahve.”
But as for you and your officials, I know that you still do not fear the LORD our God.”
31 I tako propade lan i ječam: jer ječam bijaše u klasu, a lan u cvatu.
(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;
32 Pšenica i raž nisu nastradali jer su ozima žita.
but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)
33 Otišavši od faraona, Mojsije iziđe iz grada i podigne ruke prema Jahvi. Prestane grmljavina i tuča, a ni kiša više nije padala na zemlju.
Then Moses departed from Pharaoh, went out of the city, and spread out his hands to the LORD. The thunder and hail ceased, and the rain no longer poured down on the land.
34 Kad je faraon vidio da je prestala grmljavina, tuča i kiša, opet padne u grijeh: i on i njegovi službenici opet otvrdnu srcem.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart—he and his officials.
35 Otvrdnu srce faraonu i ne pusti on Izraelce, kako je Jahve i prorekao preko Mojsija.
So Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not let the Israelites go, just as the LORD had said through Moses.
