Exodus 8

1 And this is what the Lord said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh and say to him, The Lord says, Let my people go so that they may give me worship.

Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu: »Pojdi k faraonu in mu reci: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Odpusti moje ljudstvo, da mi bodo lahko služili.‹‹

2 And if you will not let them go, see, I will send frogs into every part of your land:

Če pa odkloniš, da jih odpustiš, glej, bom vse tvoje meje udaril z žabami.

3 The Nile will be full of frogs, and they will come up into your house and into your bedrooms and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and into your bread-basins.

Reke bodo rodile žab v obilju, ki bodo šle gor in prišle v tvojo hišo, v tvojo spalnico, na tvojo posteljo, v hiše tvojih služabnikov, na tvoje ljudstvo, v tvoje peči in v tvoje nečke.

4 The frogs will come up over you and your people and all your servants.

Žabe bodo prišle tako nate, kakor na tvoje ljudstvo in na vse tvoje služabnike.«

5 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the streams and the waterways and the pools, causing frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu: »Reci Aronu: ›Iztegni svojo roko s svojo palico nad vodotoke, nad reke in nad ribnike ter povzroči žabam, da pridejo nad egiptovsko deželo.‹«

6 And when Aaron put out his hand over the waters of Egypt, the frogs came up and all the land of Egypt was covered with them.

Aron je iztegnil svojo roko nad egiptovske vode in žabe so prišle gor ter pokrile egiptovsko deželo.

7 And the wonder-workers did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up over the land of Egypt.

Čarovniki so tako storili s svojimi izrekanji urokov in nad egiptovsko deželo privedli žabe.

8 Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Make prayer to the Lord that he will take away these frogs from me and my people; and I will let the people go and make their offering to the Lord.

Potem je faraon dal poklicati Mojzesa in Arona ter rekel: »Rotita Gospoda, da lahko odstrani žabe od mene in od mojega ljudstva; jaz pa bom pustil ljudstvu oditi, da bodo lahko žrtvovali Gospodu.«

9 And Moses said, I will let you have the honour of saying when I am to make prayer for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs may be sent away from you and your houses, and be only in the Nile.

Mojzes je rekel faraonu: »Slava nad menoj. Kdaj naj rotim zate in za tvoje služabnike in za tvoje ljudstvo, da uniči žabe pred teboj in tvojimi hišami, da bodo lahko preostale samo v reki?«

10 And he said, By tomorrow. And he said, Let it be as you say: so that you may see that there is no other like the Lord our God.

Rekel je: »Jutri.« Rekel je: » To bodi glede na tvojo besedo, da lahko spoznaš, da ni nikogar podobnega Gospodu, našemu Bogu.

11 And the frogs will be gone from you and from your houses and from your servants and from your people and will be only in the Nile.

Žabe bodo odšle od tebe in od tvojih hiš in od tvojih služabnikov in od tvojega ljudstva. Preostale bodo samo še v reki.«

12 Then Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh; and Moses made prayer to the Lord about the frogs which he had sent on Pharaoh.

Mojzes in Aron sta odšla izpred faraona. Mojzes je klical h Gospodu zaradi žab, ki jih je privedel zoper faraona.

13 And the Lord did as Moses said; and there was an end of all the frogs in the houses and in the open spaces and in the fields.

Gospod je storil glede na Mojzesovo besedo in žabe so poginile po hišah, po vaseh in po poljih.

14 And they put them together in masses, and a bad smell went up from the land.

Zbrali so jih skupaj na kupe in dežela se je usmradila.

15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

Toda ko je faraon videl, da je bil predah, je zakrknil svoje srce in jima ni prisluhnil, kakor je rekel Gospod.

16 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt.

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Reci Aronu: ›Iztegni svojo palico in udari prah dežele, da [iz] tega lahko nastanejo uši po vsej egiptovski deželi.‹«

17 And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.

Storila sta tako, kajti Aron je iztegnil svojo roko s svojo palico in udaril prah dežele in [iz] tega so nastale uši na človeku in na živali. [Iz] vsega prahu dežele so nastale uši po vsej egiptovski deželi.

18 And the wonder-workers with their secret arts, attempting to make insects, were unable to do so: and there were insects on man and on beast.

Čarovniki so tako storili s svojimi izrekanji urokov, da odstranijo uši, toda niso mogli, tako so bile uši na človeku in na živali.

19 Then the wonder-workers said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: but Pharaoh's heart was hard, and he did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

Potem so čarovniki rekli faraonu: »To je Božji prst.« Faraonovo srce pa je bilo zakrknjeno in jim ni prisluhnil, kakor je rekel Gospod.

20 And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh when he comes out to the water; and say to him, This is what the Lord says: Let my people go to give me worship.

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Vstani zgodaj zjutraj in stopi pred faraona. Glej, ta prihaja k vodi in mu reci: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Pusti moje ljudstvo oditi, da mi bodo lahko služili.

21 For if you do not let my people go, see, I will send clouds of flies on you and on your servants and on your people and into their houses; and the houses of the Egyptians and the land where they are will be full of flies.

Ali pa, če ne boš hotel pustiti mojemu ljudstvu oditi, glej, bom poslal roje muh nate, na tvoje služabnike, na tvoje ljudstvo in v tvoje hiše. Hiše Egipčanov bodo polne rojev muh in tudi zemlja, na kateri so.

22 And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.

Na ta dan bom oddvojil gošensko deželo, v kateri prebiva moje ljudstvo, da tam ne bo rojev muh; z namenom, da lahko spoznaš, da sem jaz Gospod v sredi zemlje.

23 And I will put a division between my people and your people; tomorrow this sign will be seen.

Jaz bom položil ločnico med svojim ljudstvom in tvojim ljudstvom. Jutri bo to znamenje.‹«

24 And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses, and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.

In Gospod je storil tako. Prišel je nadležen roj muh v faraonovo hišo, v hiše njegovih služabnikov in v vso egiptovsko deželo. Dežela je bila okužena zaradi roja muh.

25 And Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Go and make your offering to your God here in the land.

Faraon je dal poklicati Mojzesa in Arona ter rekel: »Pojdite, žrtvujte vašemu Bogu v deželi.«

26 And Moses said, It is not right to do so; for we make our offerings of that to which the Egyptians give worship; and if we do so before their eyes, certainly we will be stoned.

Mojzes pa je rekel: »Ni primerno tako storiti, kajti ogabnost Egipčanom bomo žrtvovali Gospodu, našemu Bogu. Glej, pred njihovimi očmi bomo žrtvovali gnusobo Egipčanov in mar nas ne bodo kamnali?

27 But we will go three days' journey into the waste land and make an offering to the Lord our God as he may give us orders.

Šli bomo tri dni potovanja v divjino in žrtvovali Gospodu, našemu Bogu, kakor nam bo zapovedal.«

28 Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.

Faraon pa je rekel: »Pustil vam bom oditi, da boste lahko žrtvovali Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, v divjini; samo ne boste odšli zelo daleč proč. Rotite zame.«

29 And Moses said, When I go out from you I will make prayer to the Lord that the cloud of flies may go away from Pharaoh and from his people and from his servants tomorrow: only let Pharaoh no longer by deceit keep back the people from making their offering to the Lord.

Mojzes je rekel: »Glej, ven grem od tebe in rotil bom Gospoda, da roji muh lahko jutri odidejo od faraona, od njegovih služabnikov in od njegovega ljudstva, toda faraon naj ne postopa več varljivo z nedovoljevanjem ljudstvu, da gre žrtvovat Gospodu.«

30 Then Moses went out from Pharaoh and made prayer to the Lord.

Mojzes je odšel izpred faraona in rotil Gospoda.

31 And the Lord did as Moses said, and took away the cloud of flies from Pharaoh and from his servants and from his people; not one was to be seen.

Gospod je storil glede na Mojzesovo besedo in roje muh odstranil od faraona, od njegovih služabnikov in od njegovega ljudstva. Niti ena ni preostala.

32 But again Pharaoh made his heart hard and did not let the people go.

Faraon pa je tudi tokrat zakrknil svoje srce niti ni hotel odpustiti ljudstva.
