< Exodus 14 >
1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
И рече Господ Мојсију говорећи:
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, —before Baal-zephon, over against it, shall ye encamp, by the sea.
Кажи синовима Израиљевим нека савију и стану у логор пред Пи-Аирот између Мигдола и мора према Вел-Сефону; према њему нека стану у логор покрај мора.
3 Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, —the desert hath closed in upon them.
Јер ће Фараон рећи за синове Израиљеве: Зашли су у земљу, затворила их је пустиња.
4 So will I let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he will pursue them, that I may get me honour over Pharaoh, and over all his forces, and the Egyptians shall know, that I, am Yahweh. And they did so.
И учинићу да отврдне срце Фараону, те ће поћи у потеру за вама, и ја ћу се прославити на њему и на свој војсци његовој, и Мисирци ће познати да сам ја Господ. И учинише тако.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt, that the people had fled, —and 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?
А кад би јављено цару мисирском да је побегао народ, промени се срце Фараоново и слуга његових према народу, те рекоше: Шта учинисмо, те пустисмо Израиља да нам не служи?
6 So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he with him.
И упреже у кола своја, и узе народ свој са собом.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
И узе шест стотина кола изабраних и шта још беше кола мисирских, и над свима војводе.
8 And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt wax bold, and he pursued the sons of Israel, —when the sons of Israel, were going out with a high hand.
И Господ учини те отврдну срце Фараону цару мисирском, и пође у потеру за синовима Израиљевим, кад синови Израиљеви отидоше под руком високом.
9 So the Egyptians pursued them and overtook them, encamping by the sea—all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his forces, —by Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
И теравши их Мисирци стигоше их, сва кола Фараонова, коњици његови и војска његова, кад беху у логору на мору код Пи-Аирота према Вел-Сефону.
10 Now when, Pharaoh, had drawn near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and lo! the Egyptians, moving along after them and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh.
И кад се приближи Фараон, подигоше синови Израиљеви очи своје а то Мисирци иду за њима, и уплашише се врло, и повикаше синови Израиљеви ка Господу.
11 Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth out of Egypt?
И рекоше Мојсију: Зар не беше гробова у Мисиру, него нас доведе да изгинемо у пустињи? Шта учини, те нас изведе из Мисира.
12 Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians, —for it is better for us, to serve the Egyptians, than to die in the desert?
Нисмо ли ти говорили у Мисиру и рекли: Прођи нас се, нека служимо Мисирцима? Јер би нам боље било служити Мисирцима него изгинути у пустињи.
13 And Moses said unto the people—Do not fear, stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you to-day, —for as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall not again see them any more to times age-abiding.
А Мојсије рече народу: Не бојте се, станите па гледајте како ће вас Господ избавити данас; јер Мисирце које сте видели данас, нећете их никада више видети до века.
14 Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
Господ ће се бити за вас, а ви ћете ћутати.
15 And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
А Господ рече Мојсију: Што вичеш к мени? Кажи синовима Израиљевим нека иду.
16 and, thou, lift high thy staff and stretch forth thy hand over the sea and cleave it asunder, —that the sons of Israel may enter into the midst of the sea on dry ground;
А ти дигни штап свој и пружи руку своју на море, и расцепи га, па нека иду синови Израиљеви посред мора сувим.
17 and, I, behold me letting the heart of the Egyptians wax bold, that they may enter after them, —that I may get me honour over Pharaoh and over his forces, over his chariots, and over his horsemen,
И гле, ја ћу учинити да отврдне срце Мисирцима, те ће поћи за њима; и прославићу се на Фараону и на свој војсци његовој, на колима његовим и на коњицима његовим.
18 And the Egyptians shall know, that, I, am Yahweh, —when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots and over his horsemen.
И Мисирци ће познати да сам ја Господ, кад се прославим на Фараону, на колима његовим и на коњицима његовим.
19 And the messenger of God who was going on before the camp of Israel removed, and came on behind them, —and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
И подиже се анђео Господњи, који иђаше пред војском израиљском, и отиде им за леђа; и подиже се ступ од облака испред њих, и стаде им за леђа.
20 so it came in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, so it became a cloud and darkness, and yet lighted up the night, —so that the one came not near unto the other, all the night.
И дошав међу војску мисирску и војску израиљску беше оним облак мрачан а овим светљаше по ноћи, те не приступише једни другима целу ноћ.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and Yahweh carried away the sea by a mighty east wind all the night, and turned the sea into dry land, —and the waters were cloven asunder.
И пружи Мојсије руку своју на море, а Господ узби море ветром источним, који јако дуваше целу ноћ, и осуши море, и вода се раступи.
22 Then went the sons of Israel into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, —and, the waters, to them, were a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
И пођоше синови Израиљеви посред мора сувим, и вода им стајаше као зид с десне стране и с леве стране.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh his chariots and his horsemen, —into the midst of the sea.
И Мисирци терајући их пођоше за њима посред мора, сви коњи Фараонови, кола и коњици његови.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked down into the camp of the Egyptians, through the pillar of fire and cloud, and confused the camp of the Egyptians;
А у стражу јутарњу погледа Господ на војску мисирску из ступа од огња и облака, и смете војску мисирску.
25 and he took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive heavily, —so that the Egyptians said—We must flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh, is fighting for them against the Egyptians.
И побаца точкове колима њиховим, те их једва вуцијаху. Тада рекоше Мисирци: Бежимо од Израиља, јер се Господ бије за њих с Мисирцима.
26 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, —that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
А Господ рече Мојсију: Пружи руку своју на море, нека се врати вода на Мисирце, на кола њихова и на коњике њихове.
27 So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea and the sea returned, towards morning, to its steady flow, when the Egyptians, were fleeing to meet it, —thus Yahweh shook off the Egyptians into the midst of the sea;
И Мојсије пружи руку своју на море, и дође опет море на силу своју пред зору, а Мисирци нагоше бежати према мору; и Господ баци Мисирце усред мора.
28 thus the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the forces of Pharaoh that were entering after them into the sea, —there was not left remaining among them so much as one.
А вративши се вода потопи кола и коњике са свом војском Фараоновом, што их год беше пошло за њима у море, и не оста од њих ниједан.
29 But the sons of Israel, had gone their way on dry ground in the saidst of the sea, —and the waters had been to them a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
И синови Израиљеви иђаху посред мора сувим; и стајаше им вода као зид с десне стране и с леве стране.
30 Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, out of the hand of the Egyptians, —and Israel saw the Egyptians, dead on the shore of the sea.
И избави Господ Израиља у онај дан из руку мисирских; и виде Израиљ мртве Мисирце на брегу морском.
31 And when Israel saw the mighty hand wherewith Yahweh had wrought against the Egyptians, then did the people revere Yahweh, —and they put their trust in Yahweh, and in Moses, his servant.
И виде Израиљ силу велику, коју показа Господ на Мисирцима, и народ се побоја Господа, и верова Господу и Мојсију слузи Његовом.
