< Exodus 14 >
1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall camp opposite it by the sea.
»Govori Izraelovim otrokom, da se obrnejo in se utaborijo pred Pi Hahirótom, med Migdólom in morjem, nasproti Báal Cefónu. Pred njim se boste utaborili ob morju.
3 Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, 'They are wandering in the land. The wilderness has boxed them in.'
Kajti faraon bo o Izraelovih otrocih rekel: ›Zapletli so se v deželi, divjina jih je zaprla noter.‹
4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them. And I will gain glory because of Pharaoh and because of all his army, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD." And they did so.
Jaz pa bom zakrknil faraonovo srce, da bo sledil za njimi in počaščen bom na faraonu in na vsej njegovi vojski, da bodo Egipčani lahko spoznali, da jaz sem Gospod.« In tako so storili.
5 And when the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"
Egiptovskemu kralju je bilo povedano, da je ljudstvo zbežalo. In srce faraona in njegovih služabnikov je bilo obrnjeno zoper ljudstvo in rekli so: »Zakaj smo storili to, da smo pustili Izraela oditi od služenja nam?«
6 Then he made ready his chariot, and took his army with him;
In pripravil je svoj bojni voz in s seboj vzel svoje ljudstvo.
7 and he took six hundred select chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over all of them.
Vzel je šeststo izbranih bojnih voz in vse egiptovske bojne vozove in častnike nad vsakim izmed njih.
8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; and the children of Israel were going out triumphantly.
Gospod je zakrknil srce faraonu, egiptovskemu kralju in ta je zasledoval Izraelove otroke. Izraelovi otroci pa so izšli z vzdignjeno roko.
9 And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
Toda Egipčani so jih zasledovali, vsi faraonovi konji in bojni vozovi in njegovi konjeniki in njegova vojska in jih dohiteli ob morju, utaborjene poleg Pi Hahiróta, pred Báal Cefónom.
10 When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and look, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they were very afraid. So the children of Israel cried out to the LORD.
Ko se je faraon približal, so Izraelovi otroci povzdignili svoje oči in glej, Egipčani so korakali za njimi in bili so boleče prestrašeni in Izraelovi otroci so zavpili h Gospodu.
11 And they said to Moses, "Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt?
Mojzesu so rekli: »Ali si nas odpeljal proč, da umremo v divjini, ker ni bilo grobov v Egiptu? Zakaj si tako ravnal z nami, da si nas odvedel iz Egipta?
12 Isn't this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, 'Leave us alone so that we may serve the Egyptians?' For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness."
Mar ni to beseda, ki smo ti jo povedali v Egiptu, rekoč: ›Pusti nas pri miru, da lahko služimo Egipčanom?‹ Kajti za nas bi bilo bolje, da služimo Egipčanom, kakor pa, da bi umrli v divjini.«
13 But Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, stand still, and see the salvation of God, which he will work for you today, for the Egyptians you see today, you will never, ever see again.
Mojzes je ljudstvu rekel: »Ne bojte se, mirno stojte in glejte Gospodovo rešitev duš, ki vam jo bo danes pokazal, kajti Egipčane, ki ste jih videli danes, jih na veke ne boste več videli.
14 The LORD will fight for you, and you must be still."
Gospod se bo boril za vas in vi boste ohranili svoj mir.«
15 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Zakaj vpiješ k meni? Govori Izraelovim otrokom, da gredo naprej.
16 And as for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the children of Israel will go through the midst of the sea on dry ground.
Toda ti vzdigni svojo palico in iztegni svojo roko nad morje in ga razdeli in Izraelovi otroci bodo šli po suhih tleh skozi sredo morja.
17 And as for me, look, I am going to harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and I will receive glory over Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen.
Glej, zakrknil bom srca Egipčanom in oni jim bodo sledili in jaz si bom pridobil čast nad faraonom in nad vso njegovo vojsko, nad njegovimi bojnimi vozovi in nad njegovimi konjeniki.
18 Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I receive glory over Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen."
Egipčani bodo vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ko sem si pridobil čast nad faraonom, nad njegovimi bojnimi vozovi in nad njegovimi konjeniki.«
19 And the angel of God who was going in front of the camp of Israel moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and stood behind them.
Božji angel, ki je šel pred Izraelovim taborom, se je odstranil in odšel za njimi, in oblačni steber je odšel izpred njihovih obrazov in stal za njimi.
20 So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness and it lit up the night so that the one did not come near the other all night.
Prišel je med tabor Egipčanov in tabor Izraela. Njim je bil oblak in tema, toda le-tem je dajal svetlobo ponoči, tako da vso noč eni niso prišli blizu k drugim.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD pushed the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided.
Mojzes je svojo roko iztegnil nad morje in Gospod je storil, da je morje vso tisto noč šlo nazaj z močnim vzhodnikom in naredilo morje kopno zemljo in vode so bile razdeljene.
22 Then the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
In Izraelovi otroci so šli v sredo morja po suhih tleh in vode so jim bile zid na njihovi desnici in na njihovi levici.
23 And the Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all of Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Egipčani pa so jih zasledovali in šli noter za njimi v sredo morja, celo vsi faraonovi konji, njegovi bojni vozovi in njegovi konjeniki.
24 And it happened, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked down on the Egyptian camp through the pillar of fire and cloud and threw the camp into confusion.
Pripetilo se je, da je ob jutranji straži Gospod skozi ognjen in oblačen steber pogledal na vojsko Egipčanov in prizadel vojsko Egipčanov.
25 And he bound their chariot wheels so that they drove them with difficulty. And the Egyptians said, "Let's flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egypt."
Snemal je kolesa njihovim bojnim vozovom, da so jih težko vozili. Tako da so Egipčani rekli: »Zbežimo pred obličjem Izraela, kajti Gospod se bori zanje zoper Egipčane.«
26 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, so that the waters may flow back on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen."
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Svojo roko iztegni nad morje, da lahko vode ponovno pridejo nad Egipčane, nad njihove bojne vozove in nad njihove konjenike.«
27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak. Now the Egyptians were trying to escape from it, but the LORD shook off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Mojzes je svojo roko iztegnil nad morje in ko se je prikazalo jutro, se je morje vrnilo k svoji moči in Egipčani so bežali proti le-temu; in Gospod je Egipčane porazil v sredi morja.
28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea. None of them survived.
Vode so se vrnile in pokrile bojne vozove, konjenike in vso faraonovo vojsko, ki je za njimi prišla v morje. Tam ni ostal niti eden izmed njih.
29 But the children of Israel walked on dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
Toda Izraelovi otroci so hodili po suhi zemlji v sredi morja. Vode so jim bile zid na njihovi desnici in na njihovi levici.
30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
Tako je Gospod tega dne rešil Izraela iz roke Egipčanov, in Izrael je videl Egipčane mrtve na morski obali.
31 When Israel saw the great power which the LORD used against the Egyptians, then the people feared the LORD, and they believed God and his servant Moses.
Izrael je videl to veliko delo, ki ga je Gospod storil na Egipčanih, in ljudstvo se je balo Gospoda in verjelo Gospodu in njegovemu služabniku Mojzesu.
