< Izlazak 2 >

1 A neko od plemena Levijeva otide i oženi se kæerju Levijevom.
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 I ona zatrudnje i rodi sina; i videæi ga lijepa krijaše ga tri mjeseca.
And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 A kad ga ne može više kriti, uze kovèežiæ od site, i obli ga smolom i paklinom, i metnu dijete u nj, i odnese ga u trsku kraj rijeke.
And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch; and she put the child therein, and laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.
4 A sestra njegova stade podalje da vidi šta æe biti od njega.
And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.
5 A kæi Faraonova doðe da se kupa u rijeci, i djevojke njezine hodahu kraj rijeke; i ona ugleda kovèežiæ u trsci, i posla dvorkinju svoju te ga izvadi.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river side; and she saw the ark among the flags, and sent her handmaid to fetch it.
6 A kad otvori, vidje dijete, i gle, dijete plakaše; i sažali joj se, i reèe: to je Jevrejsko dijete.
And she opened it, and saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
7 Tada reèe sestra njegova kæeri Faraonovoj: hoæeš li da idem da ti dozovem dojkinju Jevrejku, da ti doji dijete?
Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 A kæi Faraonova reèe joj: idi. I otide djevojèica, i dozva mater djetinju.
And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9 I kæi Faraonova reèe joj: uzmi ovo dijete, i odoj mi ga, a ja æu ti platiti. I uze žena dijete i odoji ga.
And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 A kad dijete odraste, odvede ga ka kæeri Faraonovoj, a ona ga posini; i nadjede mu ime Mojsije govoreæi: jer ga iz vode izvadih.
And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 I kad Mojsije bijaše velik, izide k braæi svojoj, i gledaše nevolju njihovu. I vidje gdje nekakav Misirac bije èovjeka Jevrejina izmeðu braæe njegove.
And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he saw an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 I obazrev se i tamo i amo, kad vidje da nema nikoga, ubi Misirca, i zakopa ga u pijesak.
And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he smote the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 I sjutradan izide opet, a to se dva Jevrejina svaðahu, i reèe onomu koji èinjaše krivo: zašto biješ bližnjega svojega?
And he went out the second day, and, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 A on reèe: ko je tebe postavio knezom i sudijom nad nama? hoæeš li da me ubiješ kao što si ubio Misirca? Tada se Mojsije uplaši i reèe: zaista se doznalo.
And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? thinkest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely the thing is known.
15 I Faraon èuv za to tražaše da pogubi Mojsija. Ali Mojsije pobježe od Faraona i doðe u zemlju Madijamsku, i sjede kod jednoga studenca.
Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
16 A sveštenik Madijamski imaše sedam kæeri, i one doðoše i stadoše zahvatati vodu i naljevati u pojila da napoje stado oca svojega.
Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
17 A doðoše pastiri, i otjeraše ih; a Mojsije usta i odbrani ih, i napoji im stado.
And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 I one se vratiše k ocu svojemu Raguilu; a on reèe: što se danas tako brzo vratiste?
And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon today?
19 A one rekoše: jedan Misirac odbrani nas od pastira, i nali nam i napoji stado.
And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.
20 A on reèe kæerima svojim: pa gdje je? zašto ostaviste toga èovjeka? zovite ga da jede.
And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 I Mojsije se skloni da živi kod onoga èovjeka, i on dade Mojsiju kæer svoju Seforu.
And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 I ona rodi sina, i on mu nadjede ime Girsam, jer sam, reèe, došljak u zemlji tuðoj.
And she bare a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a sojourner in a strange land.
23 A poslije mnogo vremena umrije car Misirski; i uzdisahu od nevolje sinovi Izrailjevi i vikahu; i vika njihova radi nevolje doðe do Boga.
And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 I Bog èu uzdisanje njihovo, i opomenu se Bog zavjeta svojega s Avramom, s Isakom i s Jakovom.
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 I pogleda Bog na sinove Izrailjeve, i vidje ih.
And God saw the children of Israel, and God took knowledge [of them].
