Izlazak 4

1 A Mojsije odgovori i reèe: ali neæe mi vjerovati ni poslušati glasa mojega; jer æe reæi: nije ti se Gospod javio.

And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.

2 A Gospod mu reèe: šta ti je to u ruci? A on odgovori: štap.

And the LORD said unto him, What [is] that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

3 A Bog mu reèe: baci ga na zemlju. I baci ga na zemlju, a on posta zmija. I Mojsije pobježe od nje.

And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

4 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: pruži ruku svoju, pa je uhvati za rep. I pruži ruku svoju, i uhvati je, i opet posta štap u ruci njegovoj.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

5 To uèini, reèe Bog, da vjeruju da ti se javio Gospod Bog otaca njihovijeh, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev.

That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.

6 I opet mu reèe Gospod: turi sada ruku svoju u njedra svoja. I on turi ruku svoju u njedra svoja; a kad je izvadi iz njedara, a to ruka mu gubava, bijela kao snijeg.

And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand [was] leprous as snow.

7 A Bog mu reèe: turi opet ruku svoju u njedra svoja. I opet turi ruku svoju u njedra svoja; a kad je izvadi iz njedara, a to opet postala kao i ostalo tijelo njegovo.

And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his [other] flesh.

8 Tako, reèe Bog, ako ti ne uzvjeruju i ne poslušaju glasa tvojega za prvi znak, poslušaæe za drugi znak.

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.

9 Ako li ne uzvjeruju ni za ta dva znaka i ne poslušaju glasa tvojega, a ti zahvati vode iz rijeke, i prolij na zemlju, i pretvoriæe se voda koju zahvatiš iz rijeke, i provræi æe se u krv na zemlji.

And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour [it] upon the dry [land: ] and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry [land].

10 A Mojsije reèe Gospodu: molim ti se, Gospode, nijesam rjeèit èovjek, niti sam prije bio niti sam otkako si progovorio sa slugom svojim, nego sam sporijeh usta i spora jezika.

And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I [am] not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I [am] slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.

11 A Gospod mu reèe: ko je dao usta èovjeku? ili ko može stvoriti nijema ili gluha ili okata ili slijepa? zar ne ja, Gospod?

And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

12 Idi dakle, ja æu biti s ustima tvojim, i uèiæu te šta æeš govoriti.

Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

13 A Mojsije reèe: molim te, Gospode, pošlji onoga koga treba da pošlješ.

And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand [of him whom] thou wilt send.

14 I razgnjevi se Gospod na Mojsija, i reèe mu: nije li ti brat Aron Levit? znam da je on rjeèit; i evo on æe te sresti, i kad te vidi obradovaæe se u srcu svojem.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, [Is] not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.

15 Njemu æeš kazati i metnuæeš ove rijeèi u usta njegova, i ja æu biti s tvojim ustima i s njegovijem ustima, i uèiæu vas šta æete èiniti.

And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.

16 I on æe mjesto tebe govoriti narodu, i on æe biti tebi mjesto usta a ti æeš biti njemu mjesto Boga.

And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, [even] he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.

17 A taj štap uzmi u ruku svoju, njim æeš èiniti èudesa.

And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.

18 I otide Mojsije, i vrati se k Jotoru tastu svojemu, i reèe mu: pusti me da idem, da se vratim k braæi svojoj u Misiru, da vidim jesu li jošte u životu. I reèe Jotor Mojsiju: idi s mirom.

And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which [are] in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

19 I reèe Gospod Mojsiju u zemlji Madijamskoj: idi, vrati se u Misir, jer su pomrli svi koji su tražili dušu tvoju.

And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.

20 I uze Mojsije ženu svoju i sinove svoje, i posadi ih na magarca, i poðe natrag u zemlju Misirsku. I uze Mojsije štap Božji u ruku svoju.

And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.

21 I reèe Gospod Mojsiju: kad otideš i vratiš se u Misir, gledaj da uèiniš pred Faraonom sva èudesa koja ti metnuh u ruku: a ja æu uèiniti da mu otvrdne srce i ne pusti naroda.

And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.

22 A ti æeš reæi Faraonu: ovako kaže Gospod: Izrailj je sin moj, prvenac moj.

And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel [is] my son, [even] my firstborn:

23 I kazah ti: pusti sina mojega da mi posluži. A ti ga ne htje pustiti; evo ja æu ubiti sina tvojega, prvenca tvojega.

And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, [even] thy firstborn.

24 I kad bijaše na putu u gostionici, doðe k njemu Gospod i šæaše da ga ubije.

And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.

25 A Sefora uze oštar nož, i obreza sina svojega, i okrajak baci k nogama njegovijem govoreæi: ti si mi krvav zaruènik.

Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast [it] at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband [art] thou to me.

26 Tada ga ostavi Gospod; a ona radi obrezanja reèe: krvav zaruènik.

So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband [thou art], because of the circumcision.

27 A Gospod reèe Aronu: izidi u pustinju na susret Mojsiju. I otide i srete ga na gori Božijoj, i poljubi ga.

And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.

28 I Mojsije kaza Aronu sve rijeèi Gospodnje, za koje ga posla, i sve znake koje mu zapovjedi.

And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.

29 I otidoše Mojsije i Aron, i skupiše sve starješine sinova Izrailjevijeh.

And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:

30 I Aron kaza sve rijeèi, koje bješe rekao Gospod Mojsiju, a Mojsije uèini znake pred narodom.

And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 I narod vjerova; i razumješe da je Gospod pohodio sinove Izrailjeve i vidio nevolju njihovu; i savivši se pokloniše se.

And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
