< Exodus 8 >

1 Then the Lord told Moses, “Go and see Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
И рече Господ Мојсију: Иди к Фараону, и реци му: Овако вели Господ: Пусти народ мој, да ми послужи.
2 If you refuse to let them leave, I will send a plague of frogs all over your country.
Ако ли нећеш пустити, ево ћу морити сву земљу жабама.
3 They will swarm out of the Nile, and they will enter your palace and get into your bedroom and jump onto your bed. They will get into the houses of your officials and jump around your people—even into your ovens and breadmaking 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 Frogs will jump all over you, your people, and all your officials.’”
И на тебе и на народ твој и на све слуге твоје скакаће жабе.
5 The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Hold out your walking stick in your hand over the rivers and canals and ponds, and make frogs spread over 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 held out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up and covered the land.
И пружи Арон руку своју на воде мисирске, и изађоше жабе и покрише земљу мисирску.
7 But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. They brought up frogs in Egypt.
Али и врачари мисирски учинише тако својим врачањем, учинише те изађоше жабе на земљу мисирску.
8 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and pleaded with them, “Pray to the Lord, and ask him to take away the frogs from me and my people. Then I will let your people go so they can offer sacrifices 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 “You may have the honor of deciding when I'll pray for you, your officials, and your people that the frogs will be removed from you and your houses. They will remain only in the Nile.”
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 “Do it tomorrow,” Pharaoh replied. Moses said, “It will happen as you have requested so you will 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 leave you and your houses, your officials and your people, and 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 Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, and Moses pleaded with the Lord about the frogs he had sent against Pharaoh.
И отиде Мојсије и Арон од Фараона; и завапи Мојсије ка Господу за жабе које беше пустио на Фараона.
13 The Lord did as Moses asked. 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 The people collected them in pile upon pile, and the whole country smelled terrible.
И на гомиле их гртаху, да је смрдела земља.
15 But when Pharaoh realized the plague had passed he chose to become hard and stubborn again, wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
А кад Фараон виде где одахну, отврдну му срце, и не послуша их, као што беше казао Господ.
16 The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Pick up your walking stick and hit the dust of the ground. The dust will become gnats swarming all over 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 They did what the Lord said. When Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the dust of the earth, gnats swarmed over both people and animals. The dust in the whole of Egypt turned into gnats.
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 also tried to make gnats using their magic arts, but they couldn't. The gnats stayed on both people and animals.
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 an act of God,” the magicians told Pharaoh. But Pharaoh chose to be stubbornly hard-hearted, and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
И рекоше врачари Фараону: Ово је прст Божји. Али опет отврдну срце Фараону, те их не послуша као што беше казао Господ.
20 The Lord told Moses, “Tomorrow morning get up early and block Pharaoh's way as he walks down to the river. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can 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 If you don't let my people leave, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, and on your people and your houses. Every Egyptian house and even the ground on which they stand will be filled with swarms 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 However, on this occasion I will treat the land of Goshen differently—that's where my people live—there won't be any swarms of flies there. This is how you will know that I, the Lord, am here in your country.
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 distinguish my people from your people. You will see this sign that confirms it tomorrow.”
И поставићу разлику између народа свог и народа твог. Сутра ће бити знак тај.
24 The Lord did what he had said. Huge swarms of flies swept into Pharaoh's palace and into the houses of his officials. The whole of Egypt was devastated because of these 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 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and told them, “Go and offer sacrifices to your God here in this country.”
И Фараон дозва Мојсија и Арона, и рече им: Идите, принесите жртву Богу свом овде у земљи.
26 “No, that wouldn't be the right thing to do,” Moses replied. “The sacrifices we offer to the Lord our God would be offensive to Egyptians. If we went ahead and offered sacrifices offensive to Egyptians, they'd 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 offer sacrifices there to the Lord our God as he has told us.”
Три дана хода треба да идемо у пустињу да принесемо жртву Господу Богу свом, као што нам је казао.
28 “I'll let you go and offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the desert, but don't go very far,” Pharaoh answered. “Now pray for me that this plague ends.”
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, I will pray to the Lord,” Moses replied, “and tomorrow the flies will leave Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh should be sure not to be deceitful again and refuse to let the people go and offer sacrifices 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 Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord,
И отиде Мојсије од Фараона, и помоли се Господу.
31 and the Lord did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. Not a single 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 once again Pharaoh chose to be stubbornly hard-hearted and would not let the people leave.
Али опет отврдну срце Фараоново, и не пусти народ.
