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.
Afterward Moses and Aaron came, and said to Pharaoh, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.’”
2 Ali Faraon reèe: ko je Gospod da poslušam glas njegov i pustim Izrailja? Ne znam Gospoda, niti æu pustiti Izrailja.
Pharaoh said, “Who is Yahweh, that I should listen to his voice to let Israel go? I don’t know Yahweh, and moreover I will not 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.
They said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to Yahweh, our God, lest he fall on us with pestilence, or with the sword.”
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, take the people from their work? Get back to your burdens!”
5 Još reèe Faraon: eto, naroda je mnogo u zemlji; a vi još hoæete da ostavlja svoje poslove.
Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens.”
6 I u isti dan zapovjedi Faraon nastojnicima nad narodom i upraviteljima njegovijem, i reèe:
The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers, saying,
7 Otsele nemojte davati narodu pljeve za opeke kao doslije, neka idu sami i kupe sebi pljevu.
“You shall no longer give the people straw to make brick, as before. Let them go and gather straw for themselves.
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.
You shall require from them the number of the bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish anything of it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, saying, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to our God.’
9 Valja navaliti poslove na te ljude, pa æe raditi i neæe slušati lažljivijeh rijeèi.
Let heavier work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it. Don’t let them pay any attention to lying words.”
10 I izašavši nastojnici narodni i upravitelji rekoše narodu govoreæi: tako veli Faraon: ja vam neæu davati pljeve.
The taskmasters of the people went out with their officers, and they spoke to the people, saying, “This is what Pharaoh says: ‘I will not give you straw.
11 Idite sami i kupite sebi pljeve gdje naðete, a od posla vam se neæe popustiti ništa.
Go yourselves, get straw where you can find it, for nothing of your work shall be diminished.’”
12 I razide se narod po svoj zemlji Misirskoj da èupa strnjiku mjesto pljeve.
So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
13 A nastojnici navaljivahu govoreæi: svršujte poslove svoje koliko dolazi na dan, kao kad je bilo pljeve.
The taskmasters were urgent saying, “Fulfill your work quota daily, as when there was straw!”
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?
The officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and were asked, “Why haven’t you fulfilled your quota both yesterday and today, in making brick as before?”
15 I otidoše upravitelji sinova Izrailjevijeh, i povikaše k Faraonu govoreæi: zašto èiniš tako slugama svojim?
Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, saying, “Why do you deal this way with your servants?
16 Pljeva se ne daje slugama tvojim, pa opet kažu nam: gradite opeke. I evo biju sluge tvoje, a kriv je tvoj narod.
No straw is given to your servants, and they tell us, ‘Make brick!’ and behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.”
17 A on reèe: besposlièite, besposlièite, i zato govorite: da idemo da prinesemo žrtvu Gospodu.
But Pharaoh said, “You are idle! You are idle! Therefore you say, ‘Let’s go and sacrifice to Yahweh.’
18 Nego idite, radite; pljeva vam se neæe davati, a opeke da dajete na broj.
Go therefore now, and work; for no straw shall be given to you; yet you shall deliver the same 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.
The officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble when it was said, “You shall not diminish anything from your daily quota of bricks!”
20 I otišavši od Faraona sretoše Mojsija i Arona, koji izidoše pred njih.
They met Moses and Aaron, who stood along the way, as they came out 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.
They said to them, “May Yahweh look at you and judge, because you have made us a stench to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us!”
22 I Mojsije se vrati ka Gospodu i reèe: Gospode, zašto si navukao to zlo na narod? zašto si me poslao?
Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Why is it that you have 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 I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people. You have not rescued your people at all!”
