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 went in, and said to Pharao: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let my people go 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 answered: Who is the Lord, that I should hear his voice, and let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.
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 hath called us, to go three days’ journey into the wilderness and to sacrifice to the Lord our God: lest a pestilence or the sword fall upon 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 draw off the people from their works? Get you gone to your burdens.
5 Još reèe Faraon: eto, naroda je mnogo u zemlji; a vi još hoæete da ostavlja svoje poslove.
And Pharao said: The people of the land is numerous: you see that the multitude is increased: how much more if you give them rest from their works?
6 I u isti dan zapovjedi Faraon nastojnicima nad narodom i upraviteljima njegovijem, i reèe:
Therefore he commanded the same day 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 give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before: but let them 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 lay upon them the task of bricks, which they did before, neither shall you diminish any thing thereof: for they are idle, and therefore they cry, saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
9 Valja navaliti poslove na te ljude, pa æe raditi i neæe slušati lažljivijeh rijeèi.
Let them be oppressed, with works, and let them fulfill them: that they may not regard lying words.
10 I izašavši nastojnici narodni i upravitelji rekoše narodu govoreæi: tako veli Faraon: ja vam neæu davati pljeve.
And the overseers of the works and the taskmasters went out and said to the people: Thus saith Pharao, I allow you no straw:
11 Idite sami i kupite sebi pljeve gdje naðete, a od posla vam se neæe popustiti ništa.
Go, and gather it where you can find it: neither shall any thing of your work be diminished.
12 I razide se narod po svoj zemlji Misirskoj da èupa strnjiku mjesto pljeve.
And the people was scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather straw.
13 A nastojnici navaljivahu govoreæi: svršujte poslove svoje koliko dolazi na dan, kao kad je bilo pljeve.
And the overseers of the works pressed them, saying: Fulfill your work every day as before you were wont to do when straw was given 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 they that were over the works of the children of Israel were scourged by Pharao’s taskmasters, saying: Why have you not made up the task of bricks both yesterday and today as before?
15 I otidoše upravitelji sinova Izrailjevijeh, i povikaše k Faraonu govoreæi: zašto èiniš tako slugama svojim?
And the officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants?
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 us, and bricks are required of us as before: behold we thy servants are beaten with whips, and thy people is unjustly dealt withal.
17 A on reèe: besposlièite, besposlièite, i zato govorite: da idemo da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu.
And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.
18 Nego idite, radite; pljeva vam se neæe davati, a opeke da dajete na broj.
Go therefore, and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall deliver the accustomed 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 officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be diminished of the bricks for every day.
20 I otišavši od Faraona sretoše Mojsija i Arona, koji izidoše pred njih.
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood over against them as they came out from Pharao:
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: The Lord see and judge, because you have made our savour to stink before Pharao and his servants, and you have given him a sword 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 said: Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou 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 since the time that I went in to Pharao to speak in thy name, he hath afflicted thy people: and thou hast not delivered them.
