Exodus 2
1 And there goes a man of the house of Levi, and he takes the daughter of Levi,
Neki čovjek od Levijeva koljena ode i oženi se djevojkom Levijkom.
2 and the woman conceives, and bears a son, and she sees him, that he [is] beautiful, and she hides him [for] three months,
Žena zače i rodi sina. Vidjevši kako je krasan, krila ga je tri mjeseca.
3 and she has not been able to hide him anymore, and she takes an ark of rushes for him, and covers it with bitumen and with pitch, and puts the boy in it, and puts [it] in the weeds by the edge of the River;
Kad ga nije mogla više sakrivati, nabavi košaricu od papirusove trstike, oblijepi je smolom i paklinom, u nju stavi dijete i položi ga u trstiku na obali Rijeke.
4 and his sister stations herself far off, to know what is done to him.
Njegova sestra stane podalje da vidi što će s njime biti.
5 And a daughter of Pharaoh comes down to bathe at the River, and her girls are walking by the side of the River, and she sees the ark in the midst of the weeds, and sends her handmaid, and she takes it,
Faraonova kći siđe k Rijeci da se kupa, dok su njezine sluškinje šetale uz obalu Rijeke. Opazi ona košaricu u trstici, pa pošalje sluškinju da je donese.
6 and opens, and sees him—the boy, and behold, a child weeping! And she has pity on him and says, “This is [one] of the Hebrews’ children.”
Otvori je i pogleda, a to u njoj dijete! Muško čedo. Plakalo je. Njoj se sažali na nj. “Bit će to hebrejsko dijete”, reče.
7 And his sister says to the daughter of Pharaoh, “Do I go? When I have called a suckling woman of the Hebrews for you, then she suckles the boy for you”;
Onda njegova sestra rekne faraonovoj kćeri: “Hoćeš li da ti potražim dojilju među Hebrejkama da ti dijete doji?”
8 and the daughter of Pharaoh says to her, “Go”; and the virgin goes, and calls the mother of the boy,
“Idi!” - odgovori joj faraonova kći. Tako djevojka ode i pozove djetetovu majku.
9 and the daughter of Pharaoh says to her, “Take this boy away, and suckle him for me, and I give your hire”; and the woman takes the boy, and suckles him.
“Uzmi ovo dijete”, rekne joj faraonova kći, “i odgoji mi ga, a ja ću te plaćati.” Tako žena uzme dijete i othrani ga.
10 And the boy grows, and she brings him to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he is to her for a son, and she calls his name Moses, and says, “Because I have drawn him from the water.”
Kad je dijete odraslo, ona ga odvede faraonovoj kćeri, koja ga posini. Nadjene mu ime Mojsije, “jer sam ga”, reče, “iz vode izvadila”.
11 And it comes to pass, in those days, that Moses is grown, and he goes out to his brothers, and looks on their burdens, and sees a man, an Egyptian, striking a man, a Hebrew, [one] of his brothers,
Jednog dana, kad je Mojsije već odrastao, dođe među svoj narod i vidje njegove muke. Spazi tada kako neki Egipćanin tuče jednoga Hebrejca - brata njegova.
12 and he turns here and there, and sees that there is no man, and strikes the Egyptian, and hides him in the sand.
Okrene se tamo-amo i, vidjevši da nikoga nema, ubije Egipćanina i zatrpa ga u pijesak.
13 And he goes out on the second day, and behold, two men, Hebrews, are striving, and he says to the wrongdoer, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”
Izađe on i sutradan te zateče dva Hebrejca kako se tuku. “Zašto tučeš svoga druga?” - rekne napadaču.
14 And he says, “Who set you for a head and judge over us? Are you saying [it] to slay me as you have slain the Egyptian?” And Moses fears and says, “Surely the thing has been known.”
Ovaj odvrati: “Tko te postavi za starješinu i suca našega? Kaniš li ubiti i mene kako si ubio onog Egipćanina?” Mojsije se uplaši pa će u sebi: “Tako! Ipak se saznalo.”
15 And Pharaoh hears of this thing, and seeks to slay Moses, and Moses flees from the face of Pharaoh, and dwells in the land of Midian, and dwells by the well.
Kad je faraon to dočuo, htjede Mojsija pogubiti. Zato Mojsije pobjegne od faraona i skloni se u midjansku zemlju. Ondje sjedne kraj nekog studenca.
16 And to a priest of Midian [are] seven daughters, and they come and draw, and fill the troughs to water the flock of their father,
Midjanski je svećenik imao sedam kćeri. Dođu one da zahvate vode i naliju pojila, da napoje stado svoga oca.
17 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses arises, and saves them, and waters their flock.
Ali dođu i pastiri te ih potjeraju. Mojsije ustane, obrani ih i stado im napoji.
18 And they come to their father Reuel, and he says, “Why have you hurried to come in today?”
Kad su se vratile svome ocu Reuelu, on ih zapita: “Kako ste se danas tako brzo vratile?”
19 And they say, “A man, an Egyptian, has delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and has also diligently drawn for us, and waters the flock”;
One odgovore: “Neki Egipćanin obrani nas od pastira i još nam zahvati vode i stado nam napoji.”
20 and he says to his daughters, “And where [is] he? Why [is] this [that] you left the man? Call for him, and he eats bread.”
“Gdje je?” - zapita on svoje kćeri. “Zašto ste ostavile toga čovjeka? Pozovite ga na objed.”
21 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he gives his daughter Zipporah to Moses,
Mojsije pristane da ostane kod toga čovjeka. On oženi Mojsija svojom kćeri Siporom.
22 and she bears a son, and he calls his name Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a strange land.”
A kad ona rodi sina, on mu nadjene ime Geršon, “jer sam”, reče, “stranac u tuđoj zemlji”.
23 And it comes to pass during these many days, that the king of Egypt dies, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the service, and cry, and their cry goes up to God, because of the service;
Poslije mnogo vremena umre egipatski kralj. Izraelci su još stenjali u ropstvu. Vapili su, a njihov vapaj za pomoć sred ropstva uzlazio je k Bogu.
24 and God hears their groaning, and God remembers His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob;
Bog je čuo njihovo zapomaganje i sjetio se svoga Saveza s Abrahamom, Izakom i Jakovom.
25 and God sees the sons of Israel, and God knows.
I pogleda Bog na Izraelce i zauze se za njih.
