Izlazak 4

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

Then responded Moses, and said, And lo! they will not believe me, neither hearken to my voice, —for they will say, Yahweh, hath not appeared unto thee.

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

And Yahweh said unto him—What is this in thy hand? And he said—A staff.

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

Then said he—Cast it to the earth. And he cast it to the earth, and it became a serpent, —and Moses fled from the face thereof.

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 Yahweh said unto Moses, Put forth thy hand, and take it by its tail: So he put forth his hand, and laid hold of it, and it became a staff 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 Yahweh, God of their fathers, —God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and 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.

Then said Yahweh unto him, yet again—Bring, I pray thee, thy hand, into thy bosom. So he brought his hand, into his bosom, —and then took it out, and lo! his hand, was leprous, —like 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 back thy hand into thy bosom: So he put back his hand into his bosom, —and then took it out of his bosom, and lo it had come again like his own flesh:

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

thus shall it come to pass, if they will not believe thee, nor hearken to the voice of the first sign, then will they believe the voice of the next 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 even these two signs nor hearken to thy voice, then shalt thou take of the water of the river, and pour it out on the dry land, —so shall the water which thou hast taken from the river, become, yea it shall become, blood, on 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 Yahweh—Pardon, O My Lord! not a man of words, am I, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant, —for heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue, I am.

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?

Then Yahweh said unto him—Who appointed a mouth for man, or who appointeth him to be dumb, or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh?

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, so will I direct thee, what thou shalt speak.

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

And he said—Pardon, 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.

Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Moses, and he said—Is there not Aaron, thy brother, the Levite? I know that he, can speak. Moreover also lo! he himself is coming forth to meet thee, as surely as he seeth thee, so surely will he rejoice 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.

Then shalt thou speak unto him, and shalt put the words in his mouth, —and, I, will be with thy mouth and with his mouth, so will I direct 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 speak for thee unto the people, —so shall it come to pass that he shall become thy mouth, and thou shalt become to him as God.

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

And this staff, take thou in thy hand, —wherewith thou shalt do the 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.

So Moses went and returned unto Jethro his father-in-law and said to him—Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren who are in Egypt, that I may see whether they are yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses: Go and prosper.

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

Then said Yahweh unto Moses in Midian, Go, return to Egypt, —for all the men are dead who were seeking 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.

So Moses took his wife and his sons, and caused them to ride upon the ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt, —and Moses took the staff 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 Yahweh said unto Moses, When thou goest to return to Egypt, see as touching all the wonders which I have put in thy hand, that thou do them before Pharaoh—but, I, will let his heart wax bold, and he will not suffer the people to go.

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

Then shalt thou say unto Pharaoh, Thus, saith Yahweh—My son—my firstborn, is Israel;

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

Therefore I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me, But if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I, am going to slay, thy son, thy firstborn.

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

And it came to pass, on the way, in the resting-place for the night, that Yahweh fell upon 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.

So Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it down at his feet, —and said—Surely, a bridegroom by rites of blood, art thou to me!

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

So he let him go, Then, it was that she said, A bridegroom by rites of blood—with regard to the rites of circumcision.

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

And Yahweh said unto Aaron, Go thy way to meet Moses, towards the desert. So he went his way, and fell in with him in the mountain 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 Yahweh wherewith he had sent him, —and all the signs wherewith he had charged him.

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

So Moses and Aaron went their way, —and gathered together all the elders of the sons 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 Yahweh had spoken unto Moses, —and did the signs before the eyes 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 Yahweh had concerned himself for the sons of Israel, and that he had looked upon their humiliation, then bent they their heads and bowed themselves down.
