2 Mojzes 8
1 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu: »Pojdi k faraonu in mu reci: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Odpusti moje ljudstvo, da mi bodo lahko služili.‹‹
Then the Lord told Moses, “Go and see Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
2 Če pa odkloniš, da jih odpustiš, glej, bom vse tvoje meje udaril z žabami.
If you refuse to let them leave, I will send a plague of frogs all over your country.
3 Reke bodo rodile žab v obilju, ki bodo šle gor in prišle v tvojo hišo, v tvojo spalnico, na tvojo posteljo, v hiše tvojih služabnikov, na tvoje ljudstvo, v tvoje peči in v tvoje nečke.
They will swarm out of the Nile, and they will enter your palace and get into your bedroom and jump onto your bed. They will get into the houses of your officials and jump around your people—even into your ovens and breadmaking bowls.
4 Žabe bodo prišle tako nate, kakor na tvoje ljudstvo in na vse tvoje služabnike.«
Frogs will jump all over you, your people, and all your officials.’”
5 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu: »Reci Aronu: ›Iztegni svojo roko s svojo palico nad vodotoke, nad reke in nad ribnike ter povzroči žabam, da pridejo nad egiptovsko deželo.‹«
The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Hold out your walking stick in your hand over the rivers and canals and ponds, and make frogs spread over Egypt.’”
6 Aron je iztegnil svojo roko nad egiptovske vode in žabe so prišle gor ter pokrile egiptovsko deželo.
So Aaron held out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came up and covered the land.
7 Čarovniki so tako storili s svojimi izrekanji urokov in nad egiptovsko deželo privedli žabe.
But the Egyptian magicians did the same thing using their magic arts. They brought up frogs in Egypt.
8 Potem je faraon dal poklicati Mojzesa in Arona ter rekel: »Rotita Gospoda, da lahko odstrani žabe od mene in od mojega ljudstva; jaz pa bom pustil ljudstvu oditi, da bodo lahko žrtvovali Gospodu.«
Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and pleaded with them, “Pray to the Lord, and ask him to take away the frogs from me and my people. Then I will let your people go so they can offer sacrifices to the Lord.”
9 Mojzes je rekel faraonu: »Slava nad menoj. Kdaj naj rotim zate in za tvoje služabnike in za tvoje ljudstvo, da uniči žabe pred teboj in tvojimi hišami, da bodo lahko preostale samo v reki?«
“You may have the honor of deciding when I'll pray for you, your officials, and your people that the frogs will be removed from you and your houses. They will remain only in the Nile.”
10 Rekel je: »Jutri.« Rekel je: » To bodi glede na tvojo besedo, da lahko spoznaš, da ni nikogar podobnega Gospodu, našemu Bogu.
“Do it tomorrow,” Pharaoh replied. Moses said, “It will happen as you have requested so you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11 Žabe bodo odšle od tebe in od tvojih hiš in od tvojih služabnikov in od tvojega ljudstva. Preostale bodo samo še v reki.«
The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials and your people, and they will remain only in the Nile.”
12 Mojzes in Aron sta odšla izpred faraona. Mojzes je klical h Gospodu zaradi žab, ki jih je privedel zoper faraona.
Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh, and Moses pleaded with the Lord about the frogs he had sent against Pharaoh.
13 Gospod je storil glede na Mojzesovo besedo in žabe so poginile po hišah, po vaseh in po poljih.
The Lord did as Moses asked. The frogs in the houses, the courtyards, and the fields died.
14 Zbrali so jih skupaj na kupe in dežela se je usmradila.
The people collected them in pile upon pile, and the whole country smelled terrible.
15 Toda ko je faraon videl, da je bil predah, je zakrknil svoje srce in jima ni prisluhnil, kakor je rekel Gospod.
But when Pharaoh realized the plague had passed he chose to become hard and stubborn again, wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
16 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Reci Aronu: ›Iztegni svojo palico in udari prah dežele, da [iz] tega lahko nastanejo uši po vsej egiptovski deželi.‹«
The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Pick up your walking stick and hit the dust of the ground. The dust will become gnats swarming all over Egypt.’”
17 Storila sta tako, kajti Aron je iztegnil svojo roko s svojo palico in udaril prah dežele in [iz] tega so nastale uši na človeku in na živali. [Iz] vsega prahu dežele so nastale uši po vsej egiptovski deželi.
They did what the Lord said. When Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the dust of the earth, gnats swarmed over both people and animals. The dust in the whole of Egypt turned into gnats.
18 Čarovniki so tako storili s svojimi izrekanji urokov, da odstranijo uši, toda niso mogli, tako so bile uši na človeku in na živali.
The magicians also tried to make gnats using their magic arts, but they couldn't. The gnats stayed on both people and animals.
19 Potem so čarovniki rekli faraonu: »To je Božji prst.« Faraonovo srce pa je bilo zakrknjeno in jim ni prisluhnil, kakor je rekel Gospod.
“This is an act of God,” the magicians told Pharaoh. But Pharaoh chose to be stubbornly hard-hearted, and he wouldn't listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
20 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Vstani zgodaj zjutraj in stopi pred faraona. Glej, ta prihaja k vodi in mu reci: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Pusti moje ljudstvo oditi, da mi bodo lahko služili.
The Lord told Moses, “Tomorrow morning get up early and block Pharaoh's way as he walks down to the river. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
21 Ali pa, če ne boš hotel pustiti mojemu ljudstvu oditi, glej, bom poslal roje muh nate, na tvoje služabnike, na tvoje ljudstvo in v tvoje hiše. Hiše Egipčanov bodo polne rojev muh in tudi zemlja, na kateri so.
If you don't let my people leave, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, and on your people and your houses. Every Egyptian house and even the ground on which they stand will be filled with swarms of flies.
22 Na ta dan bom oddvojil gošensko deželo, v kateri prebiva moje ljudstvo, da tam ne bo rojev muh; z namenom, da lahko spoznaš, da sem jaz Gospod v sredi zemlje.
However, on this occasion I will treat the land of Goshen differently—that's where my people live—there won't be any swarms of flies there. This is how you will know that I, the Lord, am here in your country.
23 Jaz bom položil ločnico med svojim ljudstvom in tvojim ljudstvom. Jutri bo to znamenje.‹«
I will distinguish my people from your people. You will see this sign that confirms it tomorrow.”
24 In Gospod je storil tako. Prišel je nadležen roj muh v faraonovo hišo, v hiše njegovih služabnikov in v vso egiptovsko deželo. Dežela je bila okužena zaradi roja muh.
The Lord did what he had said. Huge swarms of flies swept into Pharaoh's palace and into the houses of his officials. The whole of Egypt was devastated because of these swarms of flies.
25 Faraon je dal poklicati Mojzesa in Arona ter rekel: »Pojdite, žrtvujte vašemu Bogu v deželi.«
Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and told them, “Go and offer sacrifices to your God here in this country.”
26 Mojzes pa je rekel: »Ni primerno tako storiti, kajti ogabnost Egipčanom bomo žrtvovali Gospodu, našemu Bogu. Glej, pred njihovimi očmi bomo žrtvovali gnusobo Egipčanov in mar nas ne bodo kamnali?
“No, that wouldn't be the right thing to do,” Moses replied. “The sacrifices we offer to the Lord our God would be offensive to Egyptians. If we went ahead and offered sacrifices offensive to Egyptians, they'd stone us!
27 Šli bomo tri dni potovanja v divjino in žrtvovali Gospodu, našemu Bogu, kakor nam bo zapovedal.«
We must make a three-day journey into the wilderness and offer sacrifices there to the Lord our God as he has told us.”
28 Faraon pa je rekel: »Pustil vam bom oditi, da boste lahko žrtvovali Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, v divjini; samo ne boste odšli zelo daleč proč. Rotite zame.«
“I'll let you go and offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the desert, but don't go very far,” Pharaoh answered. “Now pray for me that this plague ends.”
29 Mojzes je rekel: »Glej, ven grem od tebe in rotil bom Gospoda, da roji muh lahko jutri odidejo od faraona, od njegovih služabnikov in od njegovega ljudstva, toda faraon naj ne postopa več varljivo z nedovoljevanjem ljudstvu, da gre žrtvovat Gospodu.«
“As soon as I leave you, I will pray to the Lord,” Moses replied, “and tomorrow the flies will leave Pharaoh and his officials and his people. But Pharaoh should be sure not to be deceitful again and refuse to let the people go and offer sacrifices to the Lord.”
30 Mojzes je odšel izpred faraona in rotil Gospoda.
Moses left Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord,
31 Gospod je storil glede na Mojzesovo besedo in roje muh odstranil od faraona, od njegovih služabnikov in od njegovega ljudstva. Niti ena ni preostala.
and the Lord did as Moses asked, and removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh and his officials and his people. Not a single fly remained.
32 Faraon pa je tudi tokrat zakrknil svoje srce niti ni hotel odpustiti ljudstva.
But once again Pharaoh chose to be stubbornly hard-hearted and would not let the people leave.
