Exodus 5
1 Then afterwarde Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may celebrate a feast vnto me in the wildernesse.
Poslije toga odu Mojsije i Aron pa reknu faraonu: “Ovako veli Jahve, Bog Izraelov: 'Pusti narod moj da ode i u moju čast slavi svetkovinu.'”
2 And Pharaoh saide, Who is the Lord, that I should heare his voyce, and let Israel go? I knowe not the Lord, neither will I let Israel goe.
“Tko je taj Jahve da ga ja poslušam”, odvrati faraon, “i pustim Izraelce? Ja toga Jahvu ne znam niti ću pustiti Izraelce.”
3 And they saide, We worship the God of the Ebrewes: we pray thee, let vs goe three daies iourney in the desert, and sacrifice vnto the Lord our God, least he bring vpon vs the pestilence or sword.
“Bog Hebreja objavio nam se”, rekoše. “Zato nas pusti da odemo tri dana hoda u pustinju i prinesemo žrtvu Jahvi, Bogu svome, da se na nas ne obori pomorom ili mačem.”
4 Then saide the King of Egypt vnto them, Moses and Aaron, why cause ye the people to cease from their workes? get you to your burdens.
Nato im odvrati egipatski kralj: “Mojsije i Arone, zašto odvraćate svijet od njegovih dužnosti? Idite na svoj posao.
5 Pharaoh saide furthermore, Behold, much people is nowe in the lande, and ye make them leaue their burdens.
Sad kad se svjetina tako umnožila”, nastavi faraon, “vi biste ih od posla odvratili?”
6 Therefore Pharaoh gaue commandement the same day vnto the taskemasters of the people, and to their officers, saying,
Istoga dana izda faraon naredbu nadglednicima i bilježnicima:
7 Ye shall giue the people no more strawe, to make bricke (as in time past) but let them goe and gather them strawe them selues:
“Ne pribavljajte više ovome narodu slame kao do sada. Neka idu sami i sebi je skupljaju.
8 Notwithstanding lay vpon them the nober of bricke, which they made in time past, diminish nothing thereof: for they be idle, therefore they crie, saying, Let vs go to offer sacrifice vnto our God.
A zahtijevajte od njih istu količinu opeke koju su pravili i dosad. Ne smanjujte je! Lijenčine su. Zato viču: 'Hajdemo prinijeti žrtvu Bogu svome!'
9 Lay more worke vpon the men, and cause them to do it, and let the not regard vaine words.
Navalite poslove na taj svijet: neka rade, da ne obraćaju pažnje klevetama!”
10 Then went the taskemasters of the people and their officers out, and tolde the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will giue you no more strawe.
Sad dođu nadglednici naroda i njegovi bilježnici te svijetu objave: “Ovako poručuje faraon: 'Neću vam više nabavljati slame.
11 Goe your selues, get you strawe where yee can finde it, yet shall nothing of your labour bee diminished.
Vi sami morate ići i tražiti je gdje god je možete naći. Ali zato neću smanjiti vaš posao.'”
12 Then were the people scattered abroade throughout all the land of Egypt, for to gather stubble in steade of strawe.
Stoga se narod raziđe po svoj zemlji egipatskoj da skuplja strnjiku namjesto slame.
13 And the taskemasters hasted them, saying, Finish your dayes worke euery dayes taske, as ye did when ye had strawe.
A nadglednici ih gonili: “Morate svakoga dana svršiti jednako posla kao i onda dok ste slamu dobivali.”
14 And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaohs taskemasters had set ouer them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore haue ye not fulfilled your taske in making bricke yesterday and to daye, as in times past?
A bilježnike koje faraonovi nadglednici bijahu postavili nad Izraelcima tukli su i korili: “Zašto niste ni jučer ni danas napravili opeke koliko i prije?”
15 Then the officers of the children of Israel came, and cryed vnto Pharaoh, saying, Wherfore dealest thou thus with thy seruants?
Onda bilježnici Izraelaca odu i potuže se faraonu: “Zašto ovako postupaš sa svojim slugama?
16 There is no strawe giuen to thy seruantes, and they say vnto vs, Make bricke: and loe, thy seruants are beaten, and thy people is blamed.
Tvoje sluge više ne dobivaju slame, a ipak se od nas traži: napravite opeku? Čak i tuku tvoje sluge, a kriv je tvoj narod!”
17 But he said, Ye are to much idle: therfore ye say, Let vs goe to offer sacrifice to the Lord.
“Lijenčine ste vi! Lijenčine!” - odgovori faraon. “Stoga i kažete: 'Hajdemo da prinesemo žrtvu Jahvi!'
18 Goe therefore nowe and worke: for there shall no strawe be giuen you, yet shall yee deliuer the whole tale of bricke.
Nosite se na posao! Slama vam se neće davati, ali morate praviti određene količine opeke.”
19 Then the officers of the children of Israel sawe them selues in an euill case, because it was saide, Ye shall diminish nothing of your bricke, nor of euery dayes taske.
Bilježnici Izraelaca nađu se na muci zbog naredbe: “Svakodnevnu količinu opeke ne smijete smanjiti!”
20 And they met Moses and Aaron, which stood in their way as they came out from Pharaoh,
Otišavši od faraona, naiđu na Mojsija i Arona, koji su ih čekali.
21 To whom they said, The Lord looke vpon you and iudge: for yee haue made our sauour to stinke before Pharaoh and before his seruants, in that ye haue put a sword in their hand to slay vs.
“Neka vas Jahve ima na oku i sudi vam!” - dobace im. “Omrazili ste nas kod faraona i njegovih dvorana; dali ste im mač u ruke da nas pobiju.”
22 Wherefore Moses returned to the Lord, and saide, Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou thus sent me?
Mojsije se vrati Jahvi i reče: “Zašto, Gospodine, nanosiš štetu svome puku? Zašto si me poslao?
23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speake in thy Name, he hath vexed this people, and yet thou hast not deliuered thy people.
Otkad sam ja stupio pred faraona i progovorio mu u tvoje ime, on još gore postupa s ovim narodom. A ti ništa ne poduzimaš da izbaviš svoj narod.”
