< Exodus 8 >
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back to the king and tell him, ‘Yahweh says that you must let my people go, in order that they can worship me [in the desert].
И рече Господ Мојсију: Иди к Фараону, и реци му: Овако вели Господ: Пусти народ мој, да ми послужи.
2 But if you refuse to let them go, I will punish you by sending frogs to cover your country.
Ако ли нећеш пустити, ево ћу морити сву земљу жабама.
3 [Not only] will the Nile [River] be full of frogs, [but] the frogs will come up [out of the river] into your palace. They will come into your bedroom and onto your bed. They will be in the houses of your officials and all [the rest of] your people. They will even get into your ovens and your pans for mixing the materials for baking bread.
И река ће се напунити жаба, и оне ће изаћи и скакати теби по кући и по клети где спаваш и по постељи твојој и по кућама слуга твојих и народа твог и по пећима твојим и по наћвама твојим;
4 The frogs will jump up on you and your officials and [all the rest of] your people.’”
И на тебе и на народ твој и на све слуге твоје скакаће жабе.
5 Yahweh [also] said to Moses/me, “Say this to Aaron: ‘Hold your stick in your hand and stretch it out [as though you were stretching it] over the river, the canals, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up [from all this water and] cover the land of Egypt.’”
И рече Господ Мојсију: Кажи Арону: Пружи руку своју са штапом својим на реке и на потоке и на језера, и учини нек изађу жабе на земљу мисирску.
6 [After Moses/I told that to] Aaron, he stretched out his hand [as though he were stretching it] over all the water in Egypt. And the frogs came up [from the water and] covered Egypt.
И пружи Арон руку своју на воде мисирске, и изађоше жабе и покрише земљу мисирску.
7 But the men who performed magic did the same thing, and they caused [more] frogs to come up [from the water onto the land].
Али и врачари мисирски учинише тако својим врачањем, учинише те изађоше жабе на земљу мисирску.
8 Then the king summoned Moses/me and said, “Ask Yahweh to take away these frogs from me and my people. After that happens, I will allow your people to go, in order that they can offer sacrifices to Yahweh.”
А Фараон дозва Мојсија и Арона и рече: Молите Господа да уклони жабе од мене и од народа мог, пак ћу пустити народ да принесу жртву Господу.
9 Moses/I said to the king, “I will be glad to pray for you and for your officials and for [the rest of] your people. [I will ask Yahweh] to get rid of the frogs from all your houses. The only frogs left will be [those] in the Nile [River]. Just tell me when I should pray.”
А Мојсије рече Фараону: Част да ти је нада мном! Докле да му се молим за те и за слуге твоје и за народ твој да одбије жабе од тебе и из кућа твојих, и само у реци да остану?
10 He replied, “Tomorrow.” So Moses/I said, “[I will do] what you say, and then you will know that Yahweh God, the one we [worship, is the only true god], and that there is no other god like him.
А он рече: До сутра. А Мојсије рече: Биће како си казао, да познаш да нико није као Господ Бог наш.
11 The frogs will leave you and your officials and all [the rest of] your people. The only ones left will be in the Nile [River].”
Отићи ће жабе од тебе и из кућа твојих и од слуга твојих и од народа твог; само ће у реци остати.
12 Aaron and Moses/I left the king. Then Moses/I prayed to Yahweh, [asking him to take away] all the frogs he had [brought to the king’s land].
И отиде Мојсије и Арон од Фараона; и завапи Мојсије ка Господу за жабе које беше пустио на Фараона.
13 And Yahweh did just what Moses/I [asked him to do]. As a result, all the frogs in the houses, in their courtyards, and in the fields died.
А Господ учини по речи Мојсијевој; и поцркаше жабе, и опростише их се куће и села и поља.
14 The people gathered together all the dead frogs into big piles, and the land stank [from the smell].
И на гомиле их гртаху, да је смрдела земља.
15 But when the king saw that [the problem] was ended, he became stubborn [IDM] [again]. And just as Yahweh had predicted, he would not pay attention to what Aaron and Moses/we told him.
А кад Фараон виде где одахну, отврдну му срце, и не послуша их, као што беше казао Господ.
16 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell Aaron to strike the ground with his stick. [When he does that], all the fine particles of ground/dust will become gnats, all over the land of Egypt.”
А Господ рече Мојсију: Кажи Арону: Пружи штап свој, и удари по праху на земљи, нек се претвори у уши по свој земљи мисирској.
17 So they/we did that. Aaron struck the ground with his stick, and all over Egypt, the fine particles of ground/dirt became gnats. The gnats covered the people and all [their] animals.
И учинише тако: Арон пружи руку своју са штапом својим, и удари по праху на земљи, и посташе уши по људима и по стоци, сав прах на земљи претвори се у уши по целој земљи мисирској.
18 The men who worked magic tried to cause gnats to appear, but they were unable to do it. So the gnats [stayed] on the Egyptian people and on their animals.
А гледаше и врачари мисирски врачањем својим да учине да постану уши, али не могоше. И беху уши по људима и по стоци.
19 The men who worked magic said to the king, “It is God who has done this with his power [MTY]!” But the king continued to be stubborn [IDM], and he would not pay attention to us, just as Yahweh had predicted.
И рекоше врачари Фараону: Ово је прст Божји. Али опет отврдну срце Фараону, те их не послуша као што беше казао Господ.
20 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Get up early [tomorrow] morning. [Go down] to the river and wait for the king. [When he comes to bathe] [MTY], say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh says to you: “Let my people go, in order that they may worship me [in the desert].
А Господ рече Мојсију: Устани рано и изађи пред Фараона, ево, он ће изаћи к води, па му реци: Овако вели Господ: Пусти народ мој да ми послужи.
21 [I warn you that] if you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies to you. They will come down on you and on your officials and on [the rest of] your people. The houses of all you Egyptians will be full of flies. They will [even] cover the ground.
Ако ли не пустиш народ мој, ево, пустићу на тебе и на слуге твоје и на народ твој и на куће твоје свакојаке бубине, и напуниће се бубина куће мисирске и земља на којој су.
22 But when that happens, I will treat the Goshen region, where my people live, differently. There will be no swarms of flies there. In that way, you will know that I, Yahweh, am doing these things [here] in this land.
Али ћу у тај дан одвојити земљу гесемску, где живи мој народ, и онде неће бити бубина, да познаш да сам ја Господ на земљи.
23 I will distinguish clearly between [how I act toward] my people and [how I act toward] your people. And this plague is going to happen tomorrow!”’”
И поставићу разлику између народа свог и народа твог. Сутра ће бити знак тај.
24 [Early the next morning, Moses/I told that to the king, but the king would not pay any attention]. So Yahweh did what he said he would do. He sent great swarms of flies into the palace of the king and into the houses of his officials. The whole country of Egypt was ruined by the flies.
И учини Господ тако, и дођоше силне бубине у кућу Фараонову и у куће слуга његових и у сву земљу мисирску, да се све у земљи поквари од бубина.
25 Then the king summoned Aaron and Moses/me and said, “You Israeli people can go and offer sacrifices to your god, [but you must do it] here in [this] land.”
И Фараон дозва Мојсија и Арона, и рече им: Идите, принесите жртву Богу свом овде у земљи.
26 But Moses/I replied, “It would not be right [for us] to do that, because we will be offering sacrifices that are very offensive to the Egyptian people. If we offer sacrifices that the Egyptian people think are disgusting, they will kill us by throwing stones at us [RHQ]!
А Мојсије рече: Не ваља тако; јер бисмо принели на жртву Господу Богу свом што је нечисто Мисирцима; а кад бисмо принели на жртву што је нечисто Мисирцима на очи њихове, не би ли нас побили камењем?
27 No, we need to travel for three days into the desert. There we will offer sacrifices to Yahweh, the God we worship, just as he commands (OR, has commanded) us.”
Три дана хода треба да идемо у пустињу да принесемо жртву Господу Богу свом, као што нам је казао.
28 So the king said, “I will let your people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, your god, in the desert. But you must not go very far. [Now] pray for me!”
А Фараон рече: Пустићу вас да принесете жртву Господу Богу свом у пустињи; али да не идете даље; па се молите за ме.
29 Moses/I said, “Listen [to me]! After I leave you, I will pray to Yahweh, [asking] that tomorrow [he will cause] the swarms of flies to leave you and your officials and [the rest of] your people. But do not deceive us again by refusing to let our people go to offer sacrifices to Yahweh!”
А Мојсије рече: Ево ја идем од тебе, и молићу се Господу да отиду бубине од Фараона и од слуга његових и од народа његовог сутра; али немој опет да превариш, и да не пустиш народ да принесе жртву Господу.
30 Then Moses/I left the king and prayed to Yahweh.
И отиде Мојсије од Фараона, и помоли се Господу.
31 And Yahweh did what Moses/I asked, and he got rid of the swarms of flies from [around] the king and his officials and [the rest of] his people. No flies remained.
И учини Господ по речи Мојсијевој, те отидоше бубине од Фараона и од слуга његових и од народа његовог; не оста ни једна.
32 But the king was stubborn [IDM] this time also, and he did not allow the Israeli people to go.
Али опет отврдну срце Фараоново, и не пусти народ.
