2 Мојсијева 14
1 И рече Господ Мојсију говорећи:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
2 Кажи синовима Израиљевим нека савију и стану у логор пред Пи-Аирот између Мигдола и мора према Вел-Сефону; према њему нека стану у логор покрај мора.
“Tell the Israeli people to turn around and go back and set up their tents in front of Pi-Hahiroth [town]. That town is between Migdol and the sea, across from Baal-Zephon [town]. Set up your tents there, close to the sea.
3 Јер ће Фараон рећи за синове Израиљеве: Зашли су у земљу, затворила их је пустиња.
When the king [knows you have done that], he will think, ‘The Israeli people are confused. They are wandering around, and the desert blocks their path.’
4 И учинићу да отврдне срце Фараону, те ће поћи у потеру за вама, и ја ћу се прославити на њему и на свој војсци његовој, и Мисирци ће познати да сам ја Господ. И учинише тако.
But I will make the king stubborn [again], and he will [take his army and] pursue you. Then my people will praise/thank me for winning a victory over the king and his army. And the Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” So [Moses/I told my people that, and] they did what he/I told them to do.
5 А кад би јављено цару мисирском да је побегао народ, промени се срце Фараоново и слуга његових према народу, те рекоше: Шта учинисмо, те пустисмо Израиља да нам не служи?
When someone told the king that the Israeli people had left [during the night], he and his officials changed their minds and said, “(What have we done?/What we have done was stupid!) [RHQ] The Israeli people will no longer be our slaves!”
6 И упреже у кола своја, и узе народ свој са собом.
So the king got his chariot and his army ready.
7 И узе шест стотина кола изабраних и шта још беше кола мисирских, и над свима војводе.
Then he selected 600 of the best chariots, and in each chariot he placed a driver, a soldier, and a commander, and they left. Other chariots, with a driver and a soldier in each of them, also went along.
8 И Господ учини те отврдну срце Фараону цару мисирском, и пође у потеру за синовима Израиљевим, кад синови Израиљеви отидоше под руком високом.
Because Yahweh made the king of Egypt so stubborn that he and his army went to pursue the Israelis, who were leaving triumphantly,
9 И теравши их Мисирци стигоше их, сва кола Фараонова, коњици његови и војска његова, кад беху у логору на мору код Пи-Аирота према Вел-Сефону.
the Egyptian army, with all the king’s horses and chariots and horsemen, pursued the Israelis. They caught up with them as they were camped near the sea, close to Pi-Hahiroth, in front of Baal-Zephon [town].
10 И кад се приближи Фараон, подигоше синови Израиљеви очи своје а то Мисирци иду за њима, и уплашише се врло, и повикаше синови Израиљеви ка Господу.
When the king’s army got near, the Israeli people were surprised to see that the Egyptians were marching toward them. They were terrified; so they cried out to Yahweh [to help them].
11 И рекоше Мојсију: Зар не беше гробова у Мисиру, него нас доведе да изгинемо у пустињи? Шта учини, те нас изведе из Мисира.
Then they said to Moses/me, “Is it because there were no places in Egypt [where we could] be buried that you have brought us here to die in this desert [RHQ]? Look what you have done to us by bringing us out of Egypt [RHQ]!
12 Нисмо ли ти говорили у Мисиру и рекли: Прођи нас се, нека служимо Мисирцима? Јер би нам боље било служити Мисирцима него изгинути у пустињи.
That is what we told you when we were in Egypt! We said, ‘Leave us alone, and let us work for the Egyptians [RHQ]!’ It would have been better for us to be slaves for the Egyptians than to die here in the desert!”
13 А Мојсије рече народу: Не бојте се, станите па гледајте како ће вас Господ избавити данас; јер Мисирце које сте видели данас, нећете их никада више видети до века.
Moses/I replied to the people, “Do not be afraid! Be brave, and see how Yahweh will rescue you! He will save you today, and the result will be that the Egyptians that you are looking at today—you will never see them again!
14 Господ ће се бити за вас, а ви ћете ћутати.
Yahweh will fight for you! Just keep quiet. There is nothing else that you will have to do.”
15 А Господ рече Мојсију: Што вичеш к мени? Кажи синовима Израиљевим нека иду.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the people to stop crying out for me [to help them], and tell them to go forward. Lift up your stick and stretch it out toward the sea. The water will divide, so that all you Israeli people can go in the middle of the sea, walking on dry ground.
16 А ти дигни штап свој и пружи руку своју на море, и расцепи га, па нека иду синови Израиљеви посред мора сувим.
17 И гле, ја ћу учинити да отврдне срце Мисирцима, те ће поћи за њима; и прославићу се на Фараону и на свој војсци његовој, на колима његовим и на коњицима његовим.
I will make the Egyptians stubborn, so that they will try to follow you. And then as a result of [what I will do to the] king and his army and his chariots and his horsemen, [my people] will praise/thank me.
18 И Мисирци ће познати да сам ја Господ, кад се прославим на Фараону, на колима његовим и на коњицима његовим.
And when I have won a glorious [victory] over the king and his chariots and his horsemen, the [other] Egyptians will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
19 И подиже се анђео Господњи, који иђаше пред војском израиљском, и отиде им за леђа; и подиже се ступ од облака испред њих, и стаде им за леђа.
Then the angel of God, who had been in front of the Israeli people, moved and went behind them. The tall bright cloud that had been in front of them also moved behind them,
20 И дошав међу војску мисирску и војску израиљску беше оним облак мрачан а овим светљаше по ноћи, те не приступише једни другима целу ноћ.
until it was between the Egyptian army and the Israeli people. The cloud caused the Egyptian army to be in the dark but it gave light for the Israelis. As a result, neither group could come near the other group during the whole night.
21 И пружи Мојсије руку своју на море, а Господ узби море ветром источним, који јако дуваше целу ноћ, и осуши море, и вода се раступи.
[That evening], Moses/I stretched out his/my hand toward the sea. Then Yahweh sent a strong wind from the east. It blew all night and pushed the water apart, and it caused the ground between the water to dry up.
22 И пођоше синови Израиљеви посред мора сувим, и вода им стајаше као зид с десне стране и с леве стране.
Then we Israeli people went on the dry land in the middle of the sea. The water was like a wall on each side of us, on the right side and on the left side.
23 И Мисирци терајући их пођоше за њима посред мора, сви коњи Фараонови, кола и коњици његови.
Then the Egyptian army pursued them, and went after them into the middle of the sea, with their horses and their chariots and the chariot-drivers.
24 А у стражу јутарњу погледа Господ на војску мисирску из ступа од огња и облака, и смете војску мисирску.
Just before dawn, Yahweh looked down from the fiery cloud, and then he caused the Egyptian army to panic.
25 И побаца точкове колима њиховим, те их једва вуцијаху. Тада рекоше Мисирци: Бежимо од Израиља, јер се Господ бије за њих с Мисирцима.
He caused the wheels of the chariots to get stuck [in the mud], so that they could hardly move. So the Egyptians said, “Yahweh is fighting for the Israelis and against us; let’s get out of here!”
26 А Господ рече Мојсију: Пружи руку своју на море, нека се врати вода на Мисирце, на кола њихова и на коњике њихове.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Stretch out your arm toward the sea again. Then the water will come back on the Egyptians and on their chariots and their horsemen.”
27 И Мојсије пружи руку своју на море, и дође опет море на силу своју пред зору, а Мисирци нагоше бежати према мору; и Господ баци Мисирце усред мора.
So Moses/I stretched out his/my arm, and as the sun was rising, the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape, but Yahweh hurled them back into the sea.
28 А вративши се вода потопи кола и коњике са свом војском Фараоновом, што их год беше пошло за њима у море, и не оста од њих ниједан.
The water returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and the whole Egyptian army that had tried to follow us Israelis into the sea. Every one of the Egyptians drowned.
29 И синови Израиљеви иђаху посред мора сувим; и стајаше им вода као зид с десне стране и с леве стране.
But we Israeli people had already crossed through the sea by walking on dry ground, with the water being [like two] walls, one on the right side and one on the left side.
30 И избави Господ Израиља у онај дан из руку мисирских; и виде Израиљ мртве Мисирце на брегу морском.
That is the way Yahweh saved the Israeli people from the Egyptian army on that day. The Israeli people saw the Egyptians lying dead, [with their bodies washed up] on the shore.
31 И виде Израиљ силу велику, коју показа Господ на Мисирцима, и народ се побоја Господа, и верова Господу и Мојсију слузи Његовом.
The Israelis saw what Yahweh did to the Egyptians by his great power [MTY], and they were in awe of Yahweh. They trusted in Yahweh and they also trusted Moses/me.
