Izlazak 3

1 A Mojsije pasijaše stado Jotoru tastu svojemu, svešteniku Madijamskomu, i odvede stado preko pustinje, i doðe na goru Božiju Horiv.

Now Moses was keeping the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to God's mountain, to Horeb.

2 I javi mu se anðeo Gospodnji u plamenu ognjenom iz kupine. I pogleda, a to kupina ognjem gori a ne sagorijeva.

The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and look, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3 I Mojsije reèe: idem da vidim tu utvaru veliku, zašto ne sagorijeva kupina.

Moses said, "I will turn aside now, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt."

4 A Gospod kad ga vidje gdje ide da vidi, viknu ga Bog iz kupine, i reèe: Mojsije! Mojsije! A on odgovori: evo me.

When the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the midst of the bush, and said, "Moses. Moses." He said, "Here I am."

5 A Bog reèe: ne idi ovamo. Izuj obuæu svoju s nogu svojih, jer je mjesto gdje stojiš sveta zemlja.

He said, "Do not come close. Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place you are standing on is holy ground."

6 Još reèe: ja sam Bog oca tvojega, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev. A Mojsije zakloni lice svoje, jer ga strah bijaše gledati u Boga.

Moreover he said, "I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look at God.

7 I reèe Gospod: dobro vidjeh nevolju naroda svojega u Misiru, i èuh viku njegovu od zla koje mu èine nastojnici, jer poznah muku njegovu.

The LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

8 I siðoh da ga izbavim iz ruku Misirskih, i da ga izvedem iz one zemlje u zemlju dobru i prostranu, u zemlju gdje mlijeko i med teèe, na mjesto gdje su Hananeji i Heteji i Amoreji i Ferezeji i Jeveji i Jevuseji.

I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey; to the place of the Canaanites, and the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

9 I sada evo vika sinova Izrailjevijeh doðe preda me, i vidjeh muku, kojom ih muèe Misirci.

Now, look, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me. Moreover I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Sada hajde da te pošljem k Faraonu, da izvedeš narod moj, sinove Izrailjeve, iz Misira.

Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring forth my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."

11 A Mojsije reèe Bogu: ko sam ja da idem k Faraonu i da izvedem sinove Izrailjeve iz Misira?

And Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?"

12 A Bog mu reèe: ja æu biti s tobom, i ovo neka ti bude znak da sam te ja poslao: kad izvedeš narod iz Misira, služiæete Bogu na ovoj gori.

And God spoke to Moses, saying, "Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought forth the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain."

13 A Mojsije reèe Bogu: evo, kad otidem k sinovima Izrailjevijem, pa im reèem: Bog otaca vaših posla me k vama, ako mi reku: kako mu je ime? šta æu im kazati?

And Moses said to God, "Look, when I come to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you;' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' What should I tell them?"

14 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: ja sam onaj što jest. I reèe: tako æeš kazati sinovima Izrailjevijem: koji jest, on me posla k vama.

And God said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM," and he said, "You shall tell the children of Israel this: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

15 I opet reèe Bog Mojsiju: ovako kaži sinovima Izrailjevijem: Gospod Bog otaca vaših, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev posla me k vama; to je ime moje dovijeka, i to je spomen moj od koljena na koljeno.

And God said moreover to Moses, "You shall tell the children of Israel this, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation.

16 Idi, i skupi starješine Izrailjske, pa im reci: Gospod Bog otaca vaših javi mi se, Bog Avramov, Isakov i Jakovljev, govoreæi: doista obidoh vas, i vidjeh kako vam je u Misiru.

Go, and gather the elders of the children of Israel together, and tell them, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt;

17 Pa rekoh: izvešæu vas iz nevolje Misirske u zemlju Hananejsku i Hetejsku i Amorejsku i Ferezejsku i Jevejsku i Jevusejsku, u zemlju gdje teèe mlijeko i med.

and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites, and the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey."'

18 I oni æe poslušati glas tvoj; pa æeš ti i starješine Izrailjske otiæi k caru Misirskom, i reæi æete mu: Gospod Bog Jevrejski srete nas, pa ti se molimo da izidemo tri dana hoda u pustinju da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu Bogu svojemu.

They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall tell him, 'The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to our God.'

19 A ja znam da vam neæe dopustiti car Misirski da izidete bez ruke krjepke.

I know that the king of Egypt won't give you permission to go, except by a mighty hand.

20 Ali æu pružiti ruku svoju, i udariæu Misir svijem èudesima svojim, koja æu uèiniti u njemu: i poslije æe vas pustiti.

I will put forth my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in its midst, and after that he will let you go.

21 I uèiniæu da narod naðe ljubav u Misiraca, pa kad poðete, neæete poæi prazni;

I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.

22 Nego æe svaka žena zaiskati u susjede svoje i u domaæice svoje nakita srebrnoga i nakita zlatnoga i haljina; i metnuæete na sinove svoje i na kæeri svoje, i oplijeniæete Misir.

But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. So you shall plunder the Egyptians.
