Exodus 5
1 And afterward Moses and Aaron have entered, and they say to Pharaoh, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Send My people away, and they keep a celebration for Me in the wilderness”;
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 says, “Who [is] YHWH, that I listen to His voice to send Israel away? I have not known YHWH, and I also do not send Israel away.”
“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 say, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us; please let us go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to our God YHWH, lest He meet us with pestilence or with 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 And the king of Egypt says to them, “Why, Moses and Aaron, do you free the people from its works? Go to your burdens.”
Nato im odvrati egipatski kralj: “Mojsije i Arone, zašto odvraćate svijet od njegovih dužnosti? Idite na svoj posao.
5 Pharaoh also says, “Behold, the people of the land [are] numerous now, and you have caused them to cease from their burdens!”
Sad kad se svjetina tako umnožila”, nastavi faraon, “vi biste ih od posla odvratili?”
6 And on that day Pharaoh commands the exactors among the people and its authorities, saying,
Istoga dana izda faraon naredbu nadglednicima i bilježnicima:
7 “You do not add to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks as before—they go and have gathered straw for themselves;
“Ne pribavljajte više ovome narodu slame kao do sada. Neka idu sami i sebi je skupljaju.
8 and you put on them the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making before, you do not diminish from it, for they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to 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 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at it, and not be dazzled by lying words.”
Navalite poslove na taj svijet: neka rade, da ne obraćaju pažnje klevetama!”
10 And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go out, and speak to the people, saying, “Thus said Pharaoh: I do not give you straw,
Sad dođu nadglednici naroda i njegovi bilježnici te svijetu objave: “Ovako poručuje faraon: 'Neću vam više nabavljati slame.
11 you—go, take straw for yourselves where you can find [it], for there is nothing diminished of your service.”
Vi sami morate ići i tražiti je gdje god je možete naći. Ali zato neću smanjiti vaš posao.'”
12 And the people are scattered over all the land of Egypt, to gather stubble for straw,
Stoga se narod raziđe po svoj zemlji egipatskoj da skuplja strnjiku namjesto slame.
13 and the exactors are making haste, saying, “Complete your works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.”
A nadglednici ih gonili: “Morate svakoga dana svršiti jednako posla kao i onda dok ste slamu dobivali.”
14 And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying, “Why have you not completed your portion in making brick as before, both yesterday and today?”
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 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you do thus to your servants?
Onda bilježnici Izraelaca odu i potuže se faraonu: “Zašto ovako postupaš sa svojim slugama?
16 Straw is not given to your servants, and they are saying to us, Make bricks, and behold, your servants are struck—and your people have sinned.”
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 And he says, “Remiss—you are remiss, therefore you are saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH;
“Lijenčine ste vi! Lijenčine!” - odgovori faraon. “Stoga i kažete: 'Hajdemo da prinesemo žrtvu Jahvi!'
18 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and you give the [required] measure of bricks.”
Nosite se na posao! Slama vam se neće davati, ali morate praviti određene količine opeke.”
19 And the authorities of the sons of Israel see them in affliction, saying, “You do not diminish from your bricks; the matter of a day in its day.”
Bilježnici Izraelaca nađu se na muci zbog naredbe: “Svakodnevnu količinu opeke ne smijete smanjiti!”
20 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them in their coming out from Pharaoh,
Otišavši od faraona, naiđu na Mojsija i Arona, koji su ih čekali.
21 and say to them, “YHWH look on you, and judge, because you have caused our fragrance to stink in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants—to give a sword into their hand to slay us.”
“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 And Moses turns back to YHWH and says, “Lord, why have You done evil to this people? Why [is] this [that] You have sent me?
Mojsije se vrati Jahvi i reče: “Zašto, Gospodine, nanosiš štetu svome puku? Zašto si me poslao?
23 And since I have come to Pharaoh to speak in Your Name, he has done evil to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all.”
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.”
