Izlazak 5
1 A poslije izide Mojsije i Aron pred Faraona, i rekoše mu: ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: pusti narod moj da mi praznuju praznik u pustinji.
After these things, Moses and Aaron entered, and they said to Pharaoh: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Release my people, so that they may sacrifice to me in the desert.”
2 Ali Faraon reèe: ko je Gospod da poslušam glas njegov i pustim Izrailja? Ne znam Gospoda, niti æu pustiti Izrailja.
But he responded: “Who is the Lord, that I should listen to his voice and release Israel? I do not know the Lord, and I will not release Israel.”
3 A oni rekoše: Bog Jevrejski srete nas; molimo ti se da otidemo tri dana hoda u pustinju da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu Bogu svojemu, da ne pošlje na nas pomor ili maè.
And they said: “The God of the Hebrews has called us, so that we may go three days’ journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to the Lord our God. Otherwise, a pestilence or the sword may befall us.”
4 A car Misirski reèe im: Mojsije i Arone, zašto odvlaèite narod od rada njegova? Idite na svoj posao.
The king of Egypt said to them: “Why do you, Moses and Aaron, distract the people from their works? Go back to your burdens.”
5 Još reèe Faraon: eto, naroda je mnogo u zemlji; a vi još hoæete da ostavlja svoje poslove.
And Pharaoh said: “The people of the land are many. You see that the turmoil has increased: how much more if you give them rest from the works?”
6 I u isti dan zapovjedi Faraon nastojnicima nad narodom i upraviteljima njegovijem, i reèe:
Therefore, on the same day, he instructed the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters of the people, saying:
7 Otsele nemojte davati narodu pljeve za opeke kao doslije, neka idu sami i kupe sebi pljevu.
“You shall no longer give chaff to the people to form bricks, as before. But they may go and gather straw.
8 A koliko su opeka doslije naèinjali toliko izgonite i otsele, niti što smanjite; jer besposlièe, i zato vièu govoreæi: da idemo da prinesemo žrtvu Bogu svojemu.
And you shall impose upon them the same quota of bricks that they made before. Neither will you lessen anything, for they are idle, and therefore they cry out, saying: ‘We shall go and sacrifice to our God.’
9 Valja navaliti poslove na te ljude, pa æe raditi i neæe slušati lažljivijeh rijeèi.
They shall be oppressed with works, and these shall occupy them, so that they may not agree to lying words.”
10 I izašavši nastojnici narodni i upravitelji rekoše narodu govoreæi: tako veli Faraon: ja vam neæu davati pljeve.
And so the overseers of the works and the taskmasters went out and said to the people: “Thus says Pharaoh: I give you no chaff.
11 Idite sami i kupite sebi pljeve gdje naðete, a od posla vam se neæe popustiti ništa.
Go, and collect it wherever you are able to find it. Neither will anything of your work be diminished.”
12 I razide se narod po svoj zemlji Misirskoj da èupa strnjiku mjesto pljeve.
And the people were dispersed through all the land of Egypt, in order to gather straw.
13 A nastojnici navaljivahu govoreæi: svršujte poslove svoje koliko dolazi na dan, kao kad je bilo pljeve.
Likewise, the overseers of the works pressured them, saying: “Complete your work each day, just as you were accustomed to do before, when straw was given to you.”
14 I upravitelji sinova Izrailjevijeh, koje postaviše nad njima nastojnici Faraonovi, dopadahu boja, i govoraše im se: zašto ni juèe ni danas ne naèiniste onoliko opeka koliko vam je odreðeno, kao prije?
And those who were first in the works of the sons of Israel were scourged by Pharaoh’s taskmasters, saying: “Why have you not filled the quota of bricks, neither yesterday, nor today, just as before?”
15 I otidoše upravitelji sinova Izrailjevijeh, i povikaše k Faraonu govoreæi: zašto èiniš tako slugama svojim?
And the first among the sons of Israel came, and they cried out to Pharaoh, saying: “Why do act against your servants in this way?
16 Pljeva se ne daje slugama tvojim, pa opet kažu nam: gradite opeke. I evo biju sluge tvoje, a kriv je tvoj narod.
Straw is not given to us, and yet the same amount of bricks is commanded. So we, your servants, are cut up by scourging, and injustice is done against your people.”
17 A on reèe: besposlièite, besposlièite, i zato govorite: da idemo da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu.
And he said: “You are idle. And for this reason you say, ‘We shall go and sacrifice to the Lord.’
18 Nego idite, radite; pljeva vam se neæe davati, a opeke da dajete na broj.
Therefore, go and work. Straw will not be given to you, and you will return the customary number of bricks.”
19 I upravitelji sinova Izrailjevijeh vidješe da je zlo po njih što im se kaza: da ne bude opeka manje na dan.
And the first among the sons of Israel saw themselves in a crisis, because it was said to them, “Nothing at all will be lessened from the bricks throughout each day.”
20 I otišavši od Faraona sretoše Mojsija i Arona, koji izidoše pred njih.
And they met with Moses and Aaron, who stood opposite them as they departed from Pharaoh.
21 Pa im rekoše: Gospod neka vas vidi i sudi, što nas omraziste Faraonu i slugama njegovijem, i dadoste im maè u ruku da nas pobiju.
And they said to them: “May the Lord see and judge, because you have caused our odor to become foul before Pharaoh and his servants, and you have provided him with a sword, in order to kill us.”
22 I Mojsije se vrati ka Gospodu i reèe: Gospode, zašto si navukao to zlo na narod? zašto si me poslao?
And Moses returned to the Lord, and he said: “Lord, why have you afflicted this people? Why have you sent me?
23 Jer otkako izidoh pred Faraona i progovorih u tvoje ime, još gore postupa s narodom ovijem, a ti ne izbavi naroda svojega.
For from the time that I entered to Pharaoh, so as to speak in your name, he has afflicted your people. And you have not freed them.”
