Exodus 1
1 These were the names of the sons of Israel (Jacob) who came with him to Egypt along with their families:
Ovo su imena sinova Izrailjevijeh koji doðoše u Misir, doðoše s Jakovom, svaki sa svojom porodicom:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
Ruvim, Simeun, Levije i Juda,
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
Isahar, Zavulon i Venijamin,
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Dan i Neftalim, Gad i Asir.
5 Jacob had 70 descendants there, including Joseph who was already in Egypt.
A svega bijaše ih od bedara Jakovljevijeh sedamdeset duša s Josifom, koji bješe u Misiru.
6 Eventually Joseph and all his brothers and all that generation died.
A Josif umrije i sva braæa njegova i sav onaj naraštaj.
7 However, the Israelites had many children and their numbers increased rapidly. In fact there were so many of them that they became very powerful—the country was full of them.
I sinovi Izrailjevi narodiše se i umnožiše se, i napredovaše i osiliše veoma, da ih se zemlja napuni.
8 Then a new king came to power who didn't know anything about Joseph.
Tada nasta nov car u Misiru, koji ne znadijaše za Josifa;
9 He conferred with his fellow Egyptians and said, “Look at these Israelites—there are more than them than us, and they're more powerful than us.
I reèe narodu svojemu: gle, narod sinova Izrailjevijeh veæi je i silniji od nas.
10 We've got to make plan to deal with them before they become so many that if there's a war they'll side with our enemies and fight us, and flee the country.”
Nego hajde mudro da postupamo s njima, da se ne množe, i kad nastane rat da ne pristanu s neprijateljima našim i ne udare na nas i ne otidu iz zemlje.
11 So the Egyptians made them do forced labor and put taskmasters in charge of them. They used them to build the storage towns of Pithom and Rameses.
I postaviše nad njima nastojnike da ih muèe teškim poslovima; i graðaše narod Izrailjev Faraonu gradove Pitom i Ramesu.
12 But the more the Israelites were mistreated, the more they grew in numbers and spread out—and the more the Egyptians detested them.
Ali što ga više muèahu to se više množaše i napredovaše, da se grožahu od sinova Izrailjevijeh.
13 The Egyptians worked the Israelites brutally,
I žestoko nagonjahu Misirci sinove Izrailjeve na poslove,
14 making their lives a misery. They made them do hard labor, building with mortar and brick, and all kind of heavy work in the fields. In all of this hard labor they treated them brutally.
I zagrèivahu im život teškim poslovima, blatom i opekama i svakim radom u polju, i svakim drugim poslom, na koji ih žestoko nagonjahu.
15 Then the king gave orders to the Hebrew midwives, Shiphrah and Puah.
I još zapovjedi car Misirski babicama Jevrejskim, od kojih jednoj bješe ime Sefora a drugoj Fuva,
16 He told them, “When you assist the Hebrew women during childbirth, if you see it's a boy, kill him; but if it's a girl, let her live.”
I reèe: kad babièite Jevrejke, i u poroðaju vidite da je muško, ubijte ga, a kad bude žensko, nek ostane živo.
17 But because the midwives revered God, they didn't do what the king of Egypt had ordered. They let the boys live as well.
Ali se babice bojahu Boga, i ne èinjahu kako im reèe car Misirski, nego ostavljahu djecu u životu.
18 The king of Egypt called the midwives in and demanded to know, “Why have you done this— letting the male children live?”
A car Misirski dozva babice, i reèe im: zašto to èinite, te ostavljate u životu mušku djecu?
19 “Hebrew women aren't like Egyptian women,” the midwives told Pharaoh. “They give birth more easily—they have them before we midwives arrive.”
A babice rekoše Faraonu: Jevrejke nisu kao žene Misirke; jaèe su; dok im doðe babica, one veæ rode.
20 God treated the midwives well, and the people increased in number so there were even more of them.
I Bog uèini dobro babicama; i narod se umnoži i osili veoma;
21 Because the midwives revered God, he gave them families of their own.
I što se babice bojahu Boga, naèini im kuæe.
22 Then Pharaoh issued this order to all his people: “Throw every Hebrew boy that's born into the Nile, but let every girl live.”
Tada zapovjedi Faraon svemu narodu svojemu govoreæi: svakoga sina koji se rodi bacite u vodu, a kæeri sve ostavljajte u životu.
