2 Mojzes 14
1 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 »Govori Izraelovim otrokom, da se obrnejo in se utaborijo pred Pi Hahirótom, med Migdólom in morjem, nasproti Báal Cefónu. Pred njim se boste utaborili ob morju.
“Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.
3 Kajti faraon bo o Izraelovih otrocih rekel: ›Zapletli so se v deželi, divjina jih je zaprla noter.‹
Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’
4 Jaz pa bom zakrknil faraonovo srce, da bo sledil za njimi in počaščen bom na faraonu in na vsej njegovi vojski, da bodo Egipčani lahko spoznali, da jaz sem Gospod.« In tako so storili.
I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” They did so.
5 Egiptovskemu kralju je bilo povedano, da je ljudstvo zbežalo. In srce faraona in njegovih služabnikov je bilo obrnjeno zoper ljudstvo in rekli so: »Zakaj smo storili to, da smo pustili Izraela oditi od služenja nam?«
The king of Egypt was told that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”
6 In pripravil je svoj bojni voz in s seboj vzel svoje ljudstvo.
He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;
7 Vzel je šeststo izbranih bojnih voz in vse egiptovske bojne vozove in častnike nad vsakim izmed njih.
and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, with captains over all of them.
8 Gospod je zakrknil srce faraonu, egiptovskemu kralju in ta je zasledoval Izraelove otroke. Izraelovi otroci pa so izšli z vzdignjeno roko.
Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.
9 Toda Egipčani so jih zasledovali, vsi faraonovi konji in bojni vozovi in njegovi konjeniki in njegova vojska in jih dohiteli ob morju, utaborjene poleg Pi Hahiróta, pred Báal Cefónom.
The Egyptians pursued them. All the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.
10 Ko se je faraon približal, so Izraelovi otroci povzdignili svoje oči in glej, Egipčani so korakali za njimi in bili so boleče prestrašeni in Izraelovi otroci so zavpili h Gospodu.
When Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.
11 Mojzesu so rekli: »Ali si nas odpeljal proč, da umremo v divjini, ker ni bilo grobov v Egiptu? Zakaj si tako ravnal z nami, da si nas odvedel iz Egipta?
They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?
12 Mar ni to beseda, ki smo ti jo povedali v Egiptu, rekoč: ›Pusti nas pri miru, da lahko služimo Egipčanom?‹ Kajti za nas bi bilo bolje, da služimo Egipčanom, kakor pa, da bi umrli v divjini.«
Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.”
13 Mojzes je ljudstvu rekel: »Ne bojte se, mirno stojte in glejte Gospodovo rešitev duš, ki vam jo bo danes pokazal, kajti Egipčane, ki ste jih videli danes, jih na veke ne boste več videli.
Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today; for you will never again see the Egyptians whom you have seen today.
14 Gospod se bo boril za vas in vi boste ohranili svoj mir.«
Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”
15 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Zakaj vpiješ k meni? Govori Izraelovim otrokom, da gredo naprej.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.
16 Toda ti vzdigni svojo palico in iztegni svojo roko nad morje in ga razdeli in Izraelovi otroci bodo šli po suhih tleh skozi sredo morja.
Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. Then the children of Israel shall go into the middle of the sea on dry ground.
17 Glej, zakrknil bom srca Egipčanom in oni jim bodo sledili in jaz si bom pridobil čast nad faraonom in nad vso njegovo vojsko, nad njegovimi bojnimi vozovi in nad njegovimi konjeniki.
Behold, I myself will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they will go in after them. I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.
18 Egipčani bodo vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ko sem si pridobil čast nad faraonom, nad njegovimi bojnimi vozovi in nad njegovimi konjeniki.«
The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”
19 Božji angel, ki je šel pred Izraelovim taborom, se je odstranil in odšel za njimi, in oblačni steber je odšel izpred njihovih obrazov in stal za njimi.
The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.
20 Prišel je med tabor Egipčanov in tabor Izraela. Njim je bil oblak in tema, toda le-tem je dajal svetlobo ponoči, tako da vso noč eni niso prišli blizu k drugim.
It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel. There was the cloud and the darkness, yet it gave light by night. One didn’t come near the other all night.
21 Mojzes je svojo roko iztegnil nad morje in Gospod je storil, da je morje vso tisto noč šlo nazaj z močnim vzhodnikom in naredilo morje kopno zemljo in vode so bile razdeljene.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
22 In Izraelovi otroci so šli v sredo morja po suhih tleh in vode so jim bile zid na njihovi desnici in na njihovi levici.
The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
23 Egipčani pa so jih zasledovali in šli noter za njimi v sredo morja, celo vsi faraonovi konji, njegovi bojni vozovi in njegovi konjeniki.
The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the middle of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 Pripetilo se je, da je ob jutranji straži Gospod skozi ognjen in oblačen steber pogledal na vojsko Egipčanov in prizadel vojsko Egipčanov.
In the morning watch, Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.
25 Snemal je kolesa njihovim bojnim vozovom, da so jih težko vozili. Tako da so Egipčani rekli: »Zbežimo pred obličjem Izraela, kajti Gospod se bori zanje zoper Egipčane.«
He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”
26 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Svojo roko iztegni nad morje, da lahko vode ponovno pridejo nad Egipčane, nad njihove bojne vozove in nad njihove konjenike.«
Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
27 Mojzes je svojo roko iztegnil nad morje in ko se je prikazalo jutro, se je morje vrnilo k svoji moči in Egipčani so bežali proti le-temu; in Gospod je Egipčane porazil v sredi morja.
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.
28 Vode so se vrnile in pokrile bojne vozove, konjenike in vso faraonovo vojsko, ki je za njimi prišla v morje. Tam ni ostal niti eden izmed njih.
The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.
29 Toda Izraelovi otroci so hodili po suhi zemlji v sredi morja. Vode so jim bile zid na njihovi desnici in na njihovi levici.
But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.
30 Tako je Gospod tega dne rešil Izraela iz roke Egipčanov, in Izrael je videl Egipčane mrtve na morski obali.
Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.
31 Izrael je videl to veliko delo, ki ga je Gospod storil na Egipčanih, in ljudstvo se je balo Gospoda in verjelo Gospodu in njegovemu služabniku Mojzesu.
Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh and in his servant Moses.
