Izlazak 14
1 I reèe Gospod Mojsiju govoreæi:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Kaži sinovima Izrailjevijem neka saviju i stanu u oko pred Pi-Airot izmeðu Migdola i mora prema Vel-Sefonu; prema njemu neka stanu u oko pokraj mora.
“Tell the Israeli people to turn around and go back and set up their tents in front of Pi-Hahiroth [town]. That town is between Migdol and the sea, across from Baal-Zephon [town]. Set up your tents there, close to the sea.
3 Jer æe Faraon reæi za sinove Izrailjeve: zašli su u zemlju, zatvorila ih je pustinja.
When the king [knows you have done that], he will think, ‘The Israeli people are confused. They are wandering around, and the desert blocks their path.’
4 I uèiniæu da otvrdne srce Faraonu, te æe poæi u potjeru za vama, i ja æu se proslaviti na njemu i na svoj vojsci njegovoj, i Misirci æe poznati da sam ja Gospod. I uèiniše tako.
But I will make the king stubborn [again], and he will [take his army and] pursue you. Then my people will praise/thank me for winning a victory over the king and his army. And the Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” So [Moses/I told my people that, and] they did what he/I told them to do.
5 A kad bi javljeno caru Misirskom da je pobjegao narod, promijeni se srce Faraonovo i sluga njegovijeh prema narodu, te rekoše: šta uèinismo, te pustismo Izrailja da nam ne služi?
When someone told the king that the Israeli people had left [during the night], he and his officials changed their minds and said, “(What have we done?/What we have done was stupid!) [RHQ] The Israeli people will no longer be our slaves!”
6 I upreže u kola svoja, i uze narod svoj sa sobom.
So the king got his chariot and his army ready.
7 I uze šest stotina kola izabranih i što još bješe kola Misirskih, i nad svjema vojvode.
Then he selected 600 of the best chariots, and in each chariot he placed a driver, a soldier, and a commander, and they left. Other chariots, with a driver and a soldier in each of them, also went along.
8 I Gospod uèini, te otvrdnu srce Faraonu caru Misirskom, i poðe u potjeru za sinovima Izrailjevijem, kad sinovi Izrailjevi otidoše pod rukom visokom.
Because Yahweh made the king of Egypt so stubborn that he and his army went to pursue the Israelis, who were leaving triumphantly,
9 I tjeravši ih Misirci stigoše ih, sva kola Faraonova, konjici njegovi i vojska njegova, kad bjehu u okolu na moru kod Pi-Airota prema Vel-Sefonu.
the Egyptian army, with all the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen, pursued the Israelis. They caught up with them as they were camped near the sea, close to Pi-Hahiroth, in front of Baal-Zephon [town].
10 I kad se približi Faraon, podigoše sinovi Izrailjevi oèi svoje a to Misirci idu za njima, i uplašiše se vrlo, i povikaše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu.
When the king’s army got near, the Israeli people were surprised to see that the Egyptians were marching toward them. They were terrified; so they cried out to Yahweh [to help them].
11 I rekoše Mojsiju: zar ne bješe grobova u Misiru, nego nas dovede da izginemo u pustinji? Šta uèini, te nas izvede iz Misira?
Then they said to Moses/me, “Is it because there were no places in Egypt [where we could] be buried that you have brought us here to die in this desert [RHQ]? Look what you have done to us by bringing us out of Egypt [RHQ]!
12 Nijesmo li ti govorili u Misiru i rekli: proði nas se, neka služimo Misircima? jer bi nam bolje bilo služiti Misircima nego izginuti u pustinji.
That is what we told you when we were in Egypt! We said, ‘Leave us alone, and let us work for the Egyptians [RHQ]!’ It would have been better for us to be slaves for the Egyptians than to die here in the desert!”
13 A Mojsije reèe narodu: ne bojte se, stanite pa gledajte kako æe vas Gospod izbaviti danas; jer Misirce koje ste vidjeli danas, neæete ih nigda više vidjeti dovijeka.
Moses/I replied to the people, “Do not be afraid! Be brave, and see how Yahweh will rescue you! He will save you today, and the result will be that the Egyptians that you are looking at today—you will never see them again!
14 Gospod æe se biti za vas, a vi æete muèati.
Yahweh will fight for you! Just keep quiet. There is nothing else that you will have to do.”
15 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: što vièeš k meni? kaži sinovima Izrailjevijem neka idu.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the people to stop crying out for me [to help them], and tell them to go forward. Lift up your stick and stretch it out toward the sea. The water will divide, so that all you Israeli people can go in the middle of the sea, walking on dry ground.
16 A ti digni štap svoj i pruži ruku svoju na more, i rascijepi ga, pa neka idu sinovi Izrailjevi posred mora suhim.
17 I gle, ja æu uèiniti da otvrdne srce Misircima, te æe poæi za njima; i proslaviæu se na Faraonu i na svoj vojsci njegovoj, na kolima njegovijem i na konjicima njegovijem.
I will make the Egyptians stubborn, so that they will try to follow you. And then as a result of [what I will do to the] king and his army and his chariots and his horsemen, [my people] will praise/thank me.
18 I Misirci æe poznati da sam ja Gospod, kad se proslavim na Faraonu, na kolima njegovijem i na konjicima njegovijem.
And when I have won a glorious [victory] over the king and his chariots and his horsemen, the [other] Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
19 I podiže se anðeo Gospodnji, koji iðaše pred vojskom Izrailjskom, i otide im za leða; i podiže se stup od oblaka ispred njih, i stade im za leða.
Then the angel of God, who had been in front of the Israeli people, moved and went behind them. The tall bright cloud that had been in front of them also moved behind them,
20 i došav meðu vojsku Misirsku i vojsku Izrailjsku bješe onijem oblak mraèan a ovijem svijetljaše po noæi, te ne pristupiše jedni drugima cijelu noæ.
until it was between the Egyptian army and the Israeli people. The cloud caused the Egyptian army to be in the dark but it gave light for the Israelis. As a result, neither group could come near the other group during the whole night.
21 I pruži Mojsije ruku svoju na more, a Gospod uzbi more vjetrom istoènijem, koji jako duvaše cijelu noæ, i osuši more, i voda se rastupi.
[That evening], Moses/I stretched out his/my hand toward the sea. Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the east. It blew all night and pushed the water apart, and it caused the ground between the water to dry up.
22 I poðoše sinovi Izrailjevi posred mora suhim, i voda im stajaše kao zid s desne strane i s lijeve strane.
Then we Israeli people went on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The water was like a wall on each side of us, on the right side and on the left side.
23 I Misirci tjerajuæi ih poðoše za njima posred mora, svi konji Faraonovi, kola i konjici njegovi.
Then the Egyptian army pursued them, and went after them into the middle of the sea, with their horses and their chariots and the chariot-drivers.
24 A u stražu jutrenju pogleda Gospod na vojsku Misirsku iz stupa od ognja i oblaka, i smete vojsku Misirsku.
Just before dawn, Yahweh looked down from the fiery cloud, and then he caused the Egyptian army to panic.
25 I pozbaca toèkove kolima njihovijem, te ih jedva vucijahu. Tada rekoše Misirci: bježimo od Izrailja, jer se Gospod bije za njih s Misircima.
He caused the wheels of the chariots to get stuck [in the mud], so that they could hardly move. So the Egyptians said, “Yahweh is fighting for the Israelis and against us; let’s get out of here!”
26 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: pruži ruku svoju na more, neka se vrati voda na Misirce, na kola njihova i na konjike njihove.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Stretch out your arm toward the sea again. Then the water will come back on the Egyptians and on their chariots and their horsemen.”
27 I Mojsije pruži ruku svoju na more, i doðe opet more na silu svoju pred zoru, a Misirci nagoše bježati prema moru; i Gospod baci Misirce usred mora.
So Moses/I stretched out his/my arm, and as the sun was rising, the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape, but Yahweh hurled them back into the sea.
28 A vrativši se voda potopi kola i konjike sa svom vojskom Faraonovom, što ih god bješe pošlo za njima u more, i ne osta od njih nijedan.
The water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and the whole Egyptian army that had tried to follow us Israelis into the sea. Every one of the Egyptians drowned.
29 I sinovi Izrailjevi iðahu posred mora suhim; i stajaše im voda kao zid s desne strane i s lijeve strane.
But we Israeli people had already crossed through the sea by walking on dry ground, with the water being [like two] walls, one on the right side and one on the left side.
30 I izbavi Gospod Izrailja u onaj dan iz ruku Misirskih; i vidje Izrailj mrtve Misirce na brijegu morskom.
That is the way Yahweh saved the Israeli people from the Egyptian army on that day. The Israeli people saw the Egyptians lying dead, [with their bodies washed up] on the shore.
31 I vidje Izrailj silu veliku, koju pokaza Gospod na Misircima, i narod se poboja Gospoda, i vjerova Gospodu i Mojsiju sluzi njegovu.
The Israelis saw what Yahweh did to the Egyptians by his great power [MTY], and they were in awe of Yahweh. They trusted in Yahweh and they also trusted Moses/me.
