Exodus 8
1 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Let my people go, that they may serve me.
opet Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Pođi k faraonu i reci mu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Pusti moj narod da ode i štovanje mi iskaže.
2 But if thou art, refusing, to let them go, lo! I, am plaguing all thy boundaries with frogs;
Ako odbiješ da ih pustiš, svu ću ti zemlju kazniti žabama.
3 so shall the river swarm with frogs, and they shall come up, and enter into thy house, and into thy bedchamber and upon thy couch, —and into the house of thy servants and among thy people, and into thine ovens and into thy kneading-troughs:
Rijeka će vrvjeti žabama. One će izići i prodrijeti u tvoj dvor, u ložnicu, u tvoju postelju, u kuće tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda, pod sačeve i naćve tvoje.
4 both against thee, and against thy people, and against all thy servants, shall come up the frogs.
Po tebi, po tvome narodu i svim tvojim službenicima skakat će žabe.'”
5 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy hand with thy staff, over the streams over the rivers and over the pools, —and bring up the frogs, over the land of Egypt.
Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Reci Aronu neka ispruži svoju ruku sa štapom povrh rijeka, prokopa i jezeraca i učini da žabe navale na egipatsku zemlju.”
6 So Aaron stretched forth his hand, over the waters of Egypt, —and the frog came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Aron pruži svoju ruku povrh egipatskih voda, i žabe iziđoše i prekriše zemlju egipatsku.
7 And the sacred scribes did in like manner, with their secret arts, —and brought up frogs over the land of Egypt.
Ali i vračari učiniše tako svojim vračanjem, te žabe navališe na egipatsku zemlju.
8 Then called Pharaoh for Moses and for Aaron and said—Make entreaty unto Yahweh, that he take away the frogs from me and from my people, —and I must let the people go that they may sacrifice to Yahweh.
Zovne sad faraon Mojsija i Arona i rekne: “Molite Jahvu da ukloni žabe od mene i moga puka, a ja ću pustiti narod da prinese žrtvu Jahvi.”
9 And Moses said to Pharaoh—Explain thyself unto me: For what time, shall I make entreaty for thee and for thy servants and for thy people, to cause the frogs to be cut off, from thee and from thy houses, —only in the river, shall they remain?
Mojsije uzvrati faraonu: “Dostoj se odrediti mi kad hoćeš da molim za te, za tvoje službenike i za tvoj narod da se žabe odstrane od tebe i tvojih domova i ostanu samo u Rijeci.”
10 And he said—For to-morrow. And he said—According to thy word! that thou mayest know that there is none like Yahweh, our God:
“Sutra”, reče. “Neka bude kako kažeš”, odvrati Mojsije, “da znaš kako nitko nije kao Jahve, Bog naš.
11 so the frogs shall depart—from thee and from thy houses and from thy servants and from thy people, —only in the river, shall they remain.
Žabe će otići od tebe, od tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda; ostat će samo u Rijeci.”
12 Then went forth Moses and Aaron from Pharaoh, —and Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, over the matter of the frogs which he had appointed for Pharaoh.
Mojsije i Aron odu od faraona, a onda Mojsije zazva Jahvu zbog žaba kojima je kaznio faraona.
13 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, —and the frogs died, out of the houses and out of the yards, and out of the fields;
I Jahve usliša Mojsija, te žabe pocrkaju po kućama, dvorištima i njivama.
14 and they piled them up, heaps—heaps, —and the land became loathsome.
Na hrpe su ih zgrtali, zemlja se njima usmrdjela.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there had come a respite, then made he his heart dull and hearkened not unto them, —as spake Yahweh.
Kad je faraon vidio da je nastupilo olakšanje, srce mu otvrdnu te ne posluša Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.
16 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Say unto Aaron—Stretch forth thy staff, and smite the dust of the land, —so shall it become gnats in all the land of Egypt.
Onda će opet Jahve Mojsiju: “Reci Aronu neka zamahne svojim štapom i udari po prahu na tlu neka se pretvori u komarce po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.”
17 And they did so, and Aaron stretched forth his hand with his staff and smote the dust of the land, and there canto to be gnats, among men and among beasts, —all the dust of the land, became gnats, in all the land of Egypt.
I učine tako: zamahne Aron rukom i štapom te udari po prahu na tlu. Komarci navale na ljude i životinje. Sav prah na tlu pretvori se u komarce po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.
18 And the sacred scribes did in like manner with their secret arts, to bring forth the gnats, but they could not. So there came to be gnats, among men and among beasts.
Vračari pokušaše da svojim vračanjem stvore komarce, ali nisu mogli. Ljudi i životinje postanu plijenom komaraca.
19 Then said the sacred scribes unto Pharaoh, The finger of God, it is! But the heart of Pharaoh waxed bold and he hearkened not unto them, as spake Yahweh.
Tada vračari reknu faraonu: “To je prst Božji!” Ali je faraonovo srce bilo okorjelo, pa nije poslušao Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.
20 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Rise thou early in the morning, and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo! he is coming forth to the waters, —then shalt thou say unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh: Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Podrani ujutro, iziđi pred faraona kad krene k vodi, i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve: Pusti moj narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
21 But if thou art not letting my people go, behold me! sending forth—against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy people, and against thy houses the gad-fly, —and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of the gad-fly, moreover also the ground whereon, they are:
Ako ne pustiš moga naroda, pripustit ću obade na te, na tvoje službenike, na tvoj puk i tvoje domove. Egipatski domovi i samo tlo na kojem stoje vrvjet će od obada.
22 then will I make to differ on that day, the land of Goshen wherein my people do dwell, so that there shall not be there a gad-fly! in order that thou mayest know, that I, Yahweh, am in the midst of the land;
Ali ću toga dana izuzeti gošenski kraj, u kojem živi moj narod, te se ondje obadi neće pojaviti, tako da znaš da sam ja Jahve u središtu zemlje.
23 so will I put a separation betwixt my people and thy people. By to-morrow, shall come to pass this sign.
Tu ću razliku napraviti između svoga i tvoga naroda. To će znamenje biti sutra.'”
24 And Yahweh did so, and brought a grievous gad-fly unto the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and in all the land of Egypt, and the land was laid waste by reason of the gad-fly.
I učini Jahve tako. Rojevi obada nalete u faraonov dvor, na domove njegovih službenika i po svoj zemlji egipatskoj. Zemlja nastrada od obada.
25 Then did Pharaoh cry out—unto Moses and to Aaron, —and said-Go your way, sacrifice to your God, in the land.
Sad faraon pozove Mojsija i Arona pa im rekne: “Idite, prinesite žrtvu svome Bogu, ali u ovoj zemlji.”
26 And Moses said: Not meet, is it, to do thus, for, an abomination to the Egyptians, we should sacrifice to Yahweh our God. Lo! could we sacrifice that which is an abomination to the Egyptians before their eyes and they not stone us?
“Ne dolikuje da tako učinimo”, odgovori Mojsije. “Žrtve koje mi prinosimo Jahvi, Bogu svome, za Egipćane su svetogrđe. Kad bismo, dakle, na njihove oči prinosili žrtve koje su Egipćanima svetogrdne, zar nas ne bi kamenovali?
27 A journey of three days, must we go, in the desert, —then will we sacrifice to Yahweh our God, as, Yahweh, hath said unto us.
Zato moramo u pustinju tri dana hoda te prinijeti žrtvu Jahvi, Bogu svome, kako nam je zapovjedio.”
28 Then said Pharaoh: I, will let you go—so shall ye sacrifice to Yahweh your God in the desert, only ye shall not go a, very long, journey, —make ye entreaty for me.
“Pustit ću vas da odete u pustinju”, odgovori faraon, “i prinesete žrtvu Jahvi, svome Bogu, ali ne odlazite predaleko. Molite za me!”
29 And Moses said: Lo! I, am going out from thee and will make entreaty unto Yahweh, so will he take away the gad-fly—from Pharaoh from his servants, and from his people tomorrow, —only let not Pharaoh again deceive, in not letting the people go, to sacrifice to Yahweh.
Nato odvrati Mojsije: “Čim odem od tebe, zazvat ću Jahvu da sutra nestane obada s faraona, njegovih službenika i njegova puka. Ali neka faraon više ne vara! Neka pusti narod da ide i prinese žrtvu Jahvi.”
30 So Moses went out from Pharaoh, —and made entreaty unto Yahweh.
Tako Mojsije ode od faraona i pomoli se Jahvi.
31 And Yahweh did according to the word of Moses, and took away the gad-fly, from Pharaoh from his servants and from his people, —there remained not, one.
I Jahve učini kako je Mojsije tražio: s faraona, s njegovih službenika i s njegova puka nestane obada - ni jedan jedini nije ostao.
32 And Pharaoh made his heart dull, this time also, —and did not let the people go.
Ali opet ukruti faraon srce svoje i ne dopusti narodu da ode.
