Exodus 5
1 After that, Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”
A poslije izide Mojsije i Aron pred Faraona, i rekoše mu: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: pusti narod moj da mi praznuju praznik u pustinji.
2 But Pharaoh replied, “Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and I will not let Israel go.”
Ali Faraon reèe: ko je Gospod da poslušam glas njegov i pustim Izrailja? Ne znam Gospoda, niti æu pustiti Izrailja.
3 “The God of the Hebrews has met with us,” they answered. “Please let us go on a three-day journey into the wilderness to sacrifice to the LORD our God, or He may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”
A oni rekoše: Bog Jevrejski srete nas; molimo ti se da otidemo tri dana hoda u pustinju da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu Bogu svojemu, da ne pošlje na nas pomor ili maè.
4 But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you draw the people away from their work? Get back to your labor!”
A car Misirski reèe im: Mojsije i Arone, zašto odvlaèite narod od rada njegova? Idite na svoj posao.
5 Pharaoh also said, “Look, the people of the land are now numerous, and you would be stopping them from their labor.”
Još reèe Faraon: eto, naroda je mnogo u zemlji; a vi još hoæete da ostavlja svoje poslove.
6 That same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen:
I u isti dan zapovjedi Faraon nastojnicima nad narodom i upraviteljima njegovijem, i reèe:
7 “You shall no longer supply the people with straw for making bricks. They must go and gather their own straw.
Otsele nemojte davati narodu pljeve za opeke kao doslije, neka idu sami i kupe sebi pljevu.
8 But require of them the same quota of bricks as before; do not reduce it. For they are lazy; that is why they are crying out, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to our God.’
A koliko su opeka doslije naèinjali toliko izgonite i otsele, niti što smanjite; jer besposlièe, i zato vièu govoreæi: da idemo da prinesemo žrtvu Bogu svojemu.
9 Make the work harder on the men so they will be occupied and pay no attention to these lies.”
Valja navaliti poslove na te ljude, pa æe raditi i neæe slušati lažljivijeh rijeèi.
10 So the taskmasters and foremen of the people went out and said to them, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I am no longer giving you straw.
I izašavši nastojnici narodni i upravitelji rekoše narodu govoreæi: tako veli Faraon: ja vam neæu davati pljeve.
11 Go and get your own straw wherever you can find it; but your workload will in no way be reduced.’”
Idite sami i kupite sebi pljeve gdje naðete, a od posla vam se neæe popustiti ništa.
12 So the people scattered all over the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
I razide se narod po svoj zemlji Misirskoj da èupa strnjiku mjesto pljeve.
13 The taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, “Fulfill your quota each day, just as you did when straw was provided.”
A nastojnici navaljivahu govoreæi: svršujte poslove svoje koliko dolazi na dan, kao kad je bilo pljeve.
14 Then the Israelite foremen, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over the people, were beaten and asked, “Why have you not fulfilled your quota of bricks yesterday or today, as you did before?”
I upravitelji sinova Izrailjevijeh, koje postaviše nad njima nastojnici Faraonovi, dopadahu boja, i govoraše im se: zašto ni juèe ni danas ne naèiniste onoliko opeka koliko vam je odreðeno, kao prije?
15 So the Israelite foremen went and appealed to Pharaoh: “Why are you treating your servants this way?
I otidoše upravitelji sinova Izrailjevijeh, i povikaše k Faraonu govoreæi: zašto èiniš tako slugama svojim?
16 No straw has been given to your servants, yet we are told, ‘Make bricks!’ Look, your servants are being beaten, but the fault is with your own people.”
Pljeva se ne daje slugama tvojim, pa opet kažu nam: gradite opeke. I evo biju sluge tvoje, a kriv je tvoj narod.
17 “You are slackers!” Pharaoh replied. “Slackers! That is why you keep saying, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the LORD.’
A on reèe: besposlièite, besposlièite, i zato govorite: da idemo da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu.
18 Now get to work. You will be given no straw, yet you must deliver the full quota of bricks.”
Nego idite, radite; pljeva vam se neæe davati, a opeke da dajete na broj.
19 The Israelite foremen realized they were in trouble when they were told, “You must not reduce your daily quota of bricks.”
I upravitelji sinova Izrailjevijeh vidješe da je zlo po njih što im se kaza: da ne bude opeka manje na dan.
20 When they left Pharaoh, they confronted Moses and Aaron, who stood waiting to meet them.
I otišavši od Faraona sretoše Mojsija i Arona, koji izidoše pred njih.
21 “May the LORD look upon you and judge you,” the foremen said, “for you have made us a stench before Pharaoh and his officials; you have placed in their hand a sword to kill us!”
Pa im rekoše: Gospod neka vas vidi i sudi, što nas omraziste Faraonu i slugama njegovijem, i dadoste im maè u ruku da nas pobiju.
22 So Moses returned to the LORD and asked, “Lord, why have You brought trouble upon this people? Is this why You sent me?
I Mojsije se vrati ka Gospodu i reèe: Gospode, zašto si navukao to zlo na narod? zašto si me poslao?
23 Ever since I went to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and You have not delivered Your people in any way.”
Jer otkako izidoh pred Faraona i progovorih u tvoje ime, još gore postupa s narodom ovijem, a ti ne izbavi naroda svojega.
