< Exodus 8 >
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
И рече Господ Мојсију: Иди к Фараону, и реци му: Овако вели Господ: Пусти народ мој, да ми послужи.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs.
Ако ли нећеш пустити, ево ћу морити сву земљу жабама.
3 The Nile will teem with frogs, and they will come into your palace and up to your bedroom and onto your bed, into the houses of your officials and your people, and into your ovens and kneading bowls.
И река ће се напунити жаба, и оне ће изаћи и скакати теби по кући и по клети где спаваш и по постељи твојој и по кућама слуга твојих и народа твог и по пећима твојим и по наћвама твојим;
4 The frogs will come up on you and your people and all your officials.’”
И на тебе и на народ твој и на све слуге твоје скакаће жабе.
5 And the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds, and cause the frogs to come up onto the land of Egypt.’”
И рече Господ Мојсију: Кажи Арону: Пружи руку своју са штапом својим на реке и на потоке и на језера, и учини нек изађу жабе на земљу мисирску.
6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.
И пружи Арон руку своју на воде мисирске, и изађоше жабе и покрише земљу мисирску.
7 But the magicians did the same thing by their magic arts, and they also brought frogs up onto the land of Egypt.
Али и врачари мисирски учинише тако својим врачањем, учинише те изађоше жабе на земљу мисирску.
8 Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Pray to the LORD to take the frogs away from me and my people. Then I will let your people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD.”
А Фараон дозва Мојсија и Арона и рече: Молите Господа да уклони жабе од мене и од народа мог, пак ћу пустити народ да принесу жртву Господу.
9 Moses said to Pharaoh, “You may have the honor over me. When shall I pray for you and your officials and your people that the frogs (except for those in the Nile) may be taken away from you and your houses?”
А Мојсије рече Фараону: Част да ти је нада мном! Докле да му се молим за те и за слуге твоје и за народ твој да одбије жабе од тебе и из кућа твојих, и само у реци да остану?
10 “Tomorrow,” Pharaoh answered. “May it be as you say,” Moses replied, “so that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.
А он рече: До сутра. А Мојсије рече: Биће како си казао, да познаш да нико није као Господ Бог наш.
11 The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your officials and your people; they will remain only in the Nile.”
Отићи ће жабе од тебе и из кућа твојих и од слуга твојих и од народа твог; само ће у реци остати.
12 After Moses and Aaron had left Pharaoh, Moses cried out to the LORD for help with the frogs that He had brought against Pharaoh.
И отиде Мојсије и Арон од Фараона; и завапи Мојсије ка Господу за жабе које беше пустио на Фараона.
13 And the LORD did as Moses requested, and the frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
А Господ учини по речи Мојсијевој; и поцркаше жабе, и опростише их се куће и села и поља.
14 They were piled into countless heaps, and there was a terrible stench in the land.
И на гомиле их гртаху, да је смрдела земља.
15 When Pharaoh saw that there was relief, however, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.
А кад Фараон виде где одахну, отврдну му срце, и не послуша их, као што беше казао Господ.
16 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may turn into swarms of gnats throughout the land of Egypt.’”
А Господ рече Мојсију: Кажи Арону: Пружи штап свој, и удари по праху на земљи, нек се претвори у уши по свој земљи мисирској.
17 This they did, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, gnats came upon man and beast. All the dust of the earth turned into gnats throughout the land of Egypt.
И учинише тако: Арон пружи руку своју са штапом својим, и удари по праху на земљи, и посташе уши по људима и по стоци, сав прах на земљи претвори се у уши по целој земљи мисирској.
18 The magicians tried to produce gnats using their magic arts, but they could not. And the gnats remained on man and beast.
А гледаше и врачари мисирски врачањем својим да учине да постану уши, али не могоше. И беху уши по људима и по стоци.
19 “This is the finger of God,” the magicians said to Pharaoh. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
И рекоше врачари Фараону: Ово је прст Божји. Али опет отврдну срце Фараону, те их не послуша као што беше казао Господ.
20 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, and when Pharaoh goes out to the water, stand before him and tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Let My people go, so that they may worship Me.
А Господ рече Мојсију: Устани рано и изађи пред Фараона, ево, он ће изаћи к води, па му реци: Овако вели Господ: Пусти народ мој да ми послужи.
21 But if you will not let My people go, I will send swarms of flies upon you and your officials and your people and your houses. The houses of the Egyptians and even the ground where they stand will be full of flies.
Ако ли не пустиш народ мој, ево, пустићу на тебе и на слуге твоје и на народ твој и на куће твоје свакојаке бубине, и напуниће се бубина куће мисирске и земља на којој су.
22 But on that day I will give special treatment to the land of Goshen, where My people live; no swarms of flies will be found there. In this way you will know that I, the LORD, am in the land.
Али ћу у тај дан одвојити земљу гесемску, где живи мој народ, и онде неће бити бубина, да познаш да сам ја Господ на земљи.
23 I will make a distinction between My people and your people. This sign will take place tomorrow.’”
И поставићу разлику између народа свог и народа твог. Сутра ће бити знак тај.
24 And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into the houses of his officials. Throughout Egypt the land was ruined by swarms of flies.
И учини Господ тако, и дођоше силне бубине у кућу Фараонову и у куће слуга његових и у сву земљу мисирску, да се све у земљи поквари од бубина.
25 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within this land.”
И Фараон дозва Мојсија и Арона, и рече им: Идите, принесите жртву Богу свом овде у земљи.
26 But Moses replied, “It would not be right to do that, because the sacrifices we offer to the LORD our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. If we offer sacrifices that are detestable before the Egyptians, will they not stone us?
А Мојсије рече: Не ваља тако; јер бисмо принели на жртву Господу Богу свом што је нечисто Мисирцима; а кад бисмо принели на жртву што је нечисто Мисирцима на очи њихове, не би ли нас побили камењем?
27 We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the LORD our God as He commands us.”
Три дана хода треба да идемо у пустињу да принесемо жртву Господу Богу свом, као што нам је казао.
28 Pharaoh answered, “I will let you go and sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.”
А Фараон рече: Пустићу вас да принесете жртву Господу Богу свом у пустињи; али да не идете даље; па се молите за ме.
29 “As soon as I leave you,” Moses said, “I will pray to the LORD, so that tomorrow the swarms of flies will depart from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh must not act deceitfully again by refusing to let the people go and sacrifice to the LORD.”
А Мојсије рече: Ево ја идем од тебе, и молићу се Господу да отиду бубине од Фараона и од слуга његових и од народа његовог сутра; али немој опет да превариш, и да не пустиш народ да принесе жртву Господу.
30 Then Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the LORD,
И отиде Мојсије од Фараона, и помоли се Господу.
31 and the LORD did as Moses requested. He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not one fly remained.
И учини Господ по речи Мојсијевој, те отидоше бубине од Фараона и од слуга његових и од народа његовог; не оста ни једна.
32 But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time as well, and he would not let the people go.
Али опет отврдну срце Фараоново, и не пусти народ.
