Exodus 9
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and speak to him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Idi k faraonu i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve, Bog Hebreja: Pusti moj narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
2 For if thou refusest to let them go, and still holdest on to them,
Ako ga ne pustiš, nego ga i dalje budeš zadržavao,
3 Behold, the hand of the Lord will be sent against thy cattle which is in the field, against the horses, against the asses, against the camels, against the oxen, and against the sheep; —a very grievous pestilence.
ruka Jahvina udarit će strašnim pomorom po tvome blagu što je u polju: po konjima, magaradi, devama, krupnoj i sitnoj stoci.
4 And the Lord will distinguish between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt; and not one head shall die of all that belongeth to the children of Israel.
Razlikovat će Jahve stoku Izraelaca od stoke Egipćana, tako da ništa što pripada Izraelcima neće stradati.'”
5 And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow will the Lord do this thing in the land.
Jahve je odredio i vrijeme, rekavši: “Sutra će Jahve izvesti ovo u zemlji.”
6 And the Lord did this thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died; but of the cattle of the children of Israel there died not one.
Sutradan Jahve tako i učini. Sva stoka Egipćana ugine, a od stoke Izraelaca nije uginulo ni jedno grlo.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there had not died of the cattle of the Israelites even one; but the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Faraon je istraživao i uvjerio se da od izraelske stoke nije uginulo ni jedno grlo. Ali je srce faraonovo ipak otvrdlo i nije pustio naroda.
8 And the Lord said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take unto yourselves your hands full of soot of the furnace, and let Moses throw it heavenward before the eyes of Pharaoh.
Reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu: “Zagrabite pune pregršti pepela iz peći, pa neka ga Mojsije pred faraonovim očima baci prema nebu.
9 And it shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall become upon man and beast an inflammation, producing boils, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Od toga će nastati sitna prašina po svoj zemlji egipatskoj, i na ljudima će i na životinjama izazivati otekline i stvarati čireve s kraja na kraj Egipta.”
10 And they took the soot of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it up heavenward; and it became an inflammation, producing boils, upon man, and upon beast.
Tako oni uzeše pepela iz peći i dođoše pred faraona. Onda Mojsije rasu pepeo prema nebu, a otekline s čirevima prekriše ljude i životinje.
11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the inflammation; for the inflammation was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
Ni čarobnjaci se nisu mogli pojaviti pred Mojsijem, jer su i čarobnjaci, kao i ostali Egipćani, bili prekriveni čirevima.
12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had spoken unto Moses.
Ali je Jahve otvrdnuo srce faraonu, pa on ne posluša Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve Mojsiju i rekao.
13 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and place thyself before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus hath said the Eternal, the God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Podrani ujutro, iziđi pred faraona i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve, Bog Hebreja: Pusti narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
14 For at this time I send all my plagues against thy heart, and against thy servants, and against thy people; in order that thou mayest know that there is none like me on all the earth.
Ako ih ne pustiš, sva zla svoja navalit ću ovaj put na te, na tvoje službenike i tvoj puk, tako da spoznaš da nema nikoga na svoj zemlji kao što sam ja.
15 For even now I might have stretched out my hand, and I might have smitten thee and thy people with the pestilence; and thou wouldst have been cut off from the earth;
Da sam ruku svoju spustio i udario tebe i tvoj puk pomorom, nestalo bi te sa zemlje.
16 But for this cause have I allowed thee to remain, in order to show thee my power; and in order that they may proclaim my name throughout all the earth.
Poštedio sam te da ti pokažem svoju moć i da se hvali moje ime po svoj zemlji.
17 If thou dost yet wantonly oppress my people, so as not to let them go:
Ali se ti previše uzdižeš nad mojim narodom i priječiš mu da ode.
18 Behold, then will I let rain, about this time tomorrow, a very grievous hail, the like of which hath not been in Egypt since the day of its foundation even until now.
Sutra u ovo doba pustit ću tuču tako strašnu kakve u Egiptu još nije bilo otkad je postao do sada.
19 And now send, and bring under shelter thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; [for] every man and beast that shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought into the house, upon them shall the hail come down, and they shall die.
Zato naredi da pod krov utjeraju tvoje blago i sve što je vani, na otvorenu. Sve što se nađe u polju, bilo čovjek bilo živinče, ne bude li uvedeno unutra, poginut će kad tuča zaspe po njima.'”
20 He that feared the word of the Lord among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses;
Faraonovi službenici, koji su se pobojali Jahvina govora, utjeraju svoje sluge i svoje blago unutra.
21 And he that regarded not the word of the Lord left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Oni koji nisu marili za Jahvinu prijetnju ostave vani i svoje sluge i stoku.
22 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand toward heaven, and there shall be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, in the land of Egypt.
Onda rekne Jahve Mojsiju: “Pruži ruku prema nebu da udari tuča po svoj zemlji egipatskoj: po ljudima, životinjama i svemu bilju u zemlji egipatskoj.”
23 And Moses stretched forth his staff toward heaven; and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran down to the ground; and the Lord rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Mojsije diže svoj štap prema nebu. Jahve zagrmje i pusti tuču i munje sastavi sa zemljom. Sipao je Jahve tuču po zemlji Egipćana.
24 And there was hail, and fire was flaming up amidst the hail, very grievous, the like of which had not been in all the land of Egypt, since it had become a nation.
Tuča je mlatila, kroz nju munje parale. Strahota se takva nije oborila na zemlju egipatsku otkako su ljudi u njoj.
25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and every herb of the field did the hail smite, and every tree of the field did it break.
Tuča pobi po svem Egiptu sve što je ostalo vani, ljude i životinje; uništi sve bilje po poljima i sva stabla poljska polomi.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
Samo u gošenskom kraju, gdje su živjeli Izraelci, nije bilo tuče.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and he said unto them, I have sinned this time; the Eternal is the righteous, and I and my people are the wicked.
Faraon posla po Mojsija i Arona pa im reče: “Ovaj put priznajem da sam kriv. Jahve ima pravo, a ja i moj narod krivo.
28 Entreat the Lord that there may be no more of the thunders of God, and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall no longer stay here.
Molite Jahvu da ustavi gromove i tuču, a ja ću vas pustiti da idete. Nećete više dugo ostati.”
29 And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands unto the Lord: the thunders shall cease, and the hail shall not be any more; in order that thou mayest know how that to the Lord belongeth the earth.
“Kad iziđem iz grada”, reče mu Mojsije, “dići ću ruke prema Jahvi, pa će gromovi prestati, a ni tuče više neće biti, tako da znaš da zemlja pripada Jahvi.
30 But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye are not yet afraid before the Lord God.
Ali ni ti ni tvoji dvorani, znam ja, još se ne bojite Boga Jahve.”
31 And the flax and the barley were smitten; for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
I tako propade lan i ječam: jer ječam bijaše u klasu, a lan u cvatu.
32 But the wheat and the millet were not smitten; for they are late-ripening.
Pšenica i raž nisu nastradali jer su ozima žita.
33 And Moses went away from Pharaoh out of the city, and spread out his hands unto the Lord: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured out upon the earth.
Otišavši od faraona, Mojsije iziđe iz grada i podigne ruke prema Jahvi. Prestane grmljavina i tuča, a ni kiša više nije padala na zemlju.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, and the hail, and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet farther, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Kad je faraon vidio da je prestala grmljavina, tuča i kiša, opet padne u grijeh: i on i njegovi službenici opet otvrdnu srcem.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh remained hardened, and he did not let the children of Israel go; as the Lord had spoken by the hand of Moses.
Otvrdnu srce faraonu i ne pusti on Izraelce, kako je Jahve i prorekao preko Mojsija.
