2 Mojzes 9
1 Potem je Gospod rekel Mojzesu: »Pojdi noter k faraonu in mu povej: ›Tako govori Gospod, Bog Hebrejcev: ›Pusti moje ljudstvo oditi, da mi bodo lahko služili.‹
The Lord told Moses, “Go and speak to Pharaoh. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
2 Kajti, če odkloniš, da bi jih pustil oditi in jih hočeš trdno držati,
If you refuse to let them go and keep holding onto them,
3 glej, Gospodova roka je na tvoji živini, ki je na polju, na konjih, na oslih, na kamelah, na volih in na ovcah. Tam bo zelo nadležna živinska kuga.
I will punish you by bringing a very severe plague on your livestock—on your horses, donkeys, camels, herds, and flocks.
4 Gospod bo oddvojil med izraelsko živino in egiptovsko živino in nič ne bo poginilo, od vsega, kar je [last] Izraelovih otrok.‹«
But the Lord will distinguish between the livestock of the Israelites and the Egyptians, so that none of those belonging to the Israelites will die.’
5 Gospod je določil čas, rekoč: »Jutri bo Gospod to stvar storil v deželi.«
The Lord has set a time, saying, ‘Tomorrow this is what is going to happen here in the country.’”
6 Gospod je naslednji dan storil to stvar in vsa egiptovska živina je poginila, toda izmed živine Izraelovih otrok ni poginila niti ena.
The following day the Lord did what he had said. All the Egyptians' livestock died, but not a single animal belonging to the Israelites died.
7 Faraon je poslal in glej, niti ena izmed izraelske živine ni poginila. Faraonovo srce pa je bilo zakrknjeno in ljudstvu ni pustil oditi.
Pharaoh sent out officials and discovered that not a single one of the Israelites' livestock had died. But Pharaoh was stubborn, and he would not let the people leave.
8 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu in Aronu: »K sebi vzemita prgišča pepela iz talilne peči in naj ga Mojzes potrese proti nebu pred faraonovimi očmi.
The Lord told Moses and Aaron, “Go and get some handfuls of soot from a furnace. Then have Moses throw it into the air in front of Pharaoh.
9 Ta bo postal droben prah po vsej egiptovski deželi in tvori bodo izbruhnili z mehurji na ljudeh in na živali po vsej egiptovski deželi.«
It will spread like fine dust over the whole country of Egypt, and open sores will break out on people and animals throughout the land.”
10 Vzela sta pepel iz talilne peči in stala pred faraonom. Mojzes ga je potresel proti nebu in ta je postal tvor, ki je izbruhnil z mehurji na ljudeh in na živali.
They got soot from a furnace, and went to see Pharaoh. Moses threw it into the air, and open sores broke out on people and animals.
11 Čarovniki pa zaradi tvorov niso mogli stati pred Mojzesom, kajti tvor je bil na čarovnikih in na vseh Egipčanih.
The magicians were unable to come and appear before Moses, because they and all the other Egyptians were covered in sores.
12 Gospod pa je zakrknil faraonovo srce in ta jima ni prisluhnil, kakor je Gospod govoril Mojzesu.
But the Lord gave Pharaoh a stubborn attitude, and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had told Moses.
13 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Vstani zgodaj zjutraj in stopi pred faraona ter mu reci: ›Tako govori Gospod, Bog Hebrejcev: ›Pusti moje ljudstvo oditi, da mi bodo lahko služili.‹
The Lord told Moses, “Tomorrow morning get up early and go to Pharaoh, and tell him that this is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they can worship me.
14 Kajti tokrat bom vse svoje nadloge poslal na tvoje srce in na tvoje služabnike in na tvoje ljudstvo, da boš lahko vedel, da na vsej zemlji ni nikogar podobnega meni.
This time I will direct all my plagues against you and your officials and your people, so you will realize that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 Kajti sedaj bom iztegnil svojo roko, da lahko udarim tebe in tvoje ljudstvo s kužno boleznijo, ti pa boš iztrebljen z zemlje.
By now I could have reached out to strike you and your people with a plague that would have completely destroyed you.
16 Zagotovo sem te dvignil zaradi tega razloga, da pokažem na tebi svojo moč, in da bo moje ime lahko razglašeno po vsej zemlji.
However, I have let you live so you can see my power, and that my reputation may be spread throughout the earth.
17 Doklej se povišuješ zoper moje ljudstvo, da jim nočeš pustiti oditi?
But in your pride you are still tyrannizing my people, and refuse to let them leave.
18 Glej, jutri ob tem času bom povzročil, da bo deževala zelo boleča toča, kakršne ni bilo v Egiptu od njegovega nastanka celo do sedaj.
So watch out! About this time tomorrow I will send down the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the beginning of its history until now.
19 Pošlji torej sedaj in zberi svojo živino in vse, kar imaš na polju, kajti na vsakega človeka in žival, ki bo najdena na polju in ne bo privedena domov, bo nanje priletela toča in bodo umrli.‹«
So order your livestock and everything you have in the field to be brought inside. Every person and every animal that stays outside and is not brought inside will die when the hail falls on them.’”
20 Kdor se je med faraonovimi služabniki bal Gospodove besede, je svoje služabnike in svojo živino primoral, da so pobegnili v hiše,
Those of Pharaoh's officials who took seriously what the Lord said rushed to bring their servants and livestock inside.
21 kdor pa se ni oziral na Gospodovo besedo, je svoje služabnike in svojo živino pustil na polju.
But those who didn't care what the Lord said left their servants and livestock outside.
22 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Iztegni svojo roko proti nebu, da bo lahko toča po vsej egiptovski deželi, na ljudeh, na živali in na vsakem poljskem zelišču po vsej egiptovski deželi.«
The Lord told Moses, “Lift your hand towards the sky so that a hailstorm will fall over the whole of Egypt, on people and on animals, and on everything growing in the fields of Egypt.”
23 Mojzes je svojo palico iztegnil proti nebu in Gospod je poslal grmenje in točo in spotoma je ogenj padal na zemljo; Gospod je deževal točo na egiptovsko deželo.
Moses held up his staff toward heaven, and the Lord sent thunder and hail, and made lightning hit the ground. This is how the Lord rained hail down on Egypt.
24 Tako je bila tam toča in ogenj, pomešan s točo, zelo boleč, takšen kot ni bilo nobenega podobnega temu po vsej egiptovski deželi, odkar je postala narod.
As the hail fell it was accompanied by lightning flashing back and forth. The hail that fell was so severe that nothing like it had ever been seen in the whole of Egypt since the beginning of its history.
25 Toča je udarila povsod, po vsej egiptovski deželi vse, kar je bilo na polju, tako človeka kakor žival. Toča je udarila vsako zel na polju in zlomila vsako drevo na polju.
All across Egypt hail hit everything in the fields, both people and animals. It knocked down everything growing in the fields, and stripped every tree bare.
26 Samo v gošenski deželi, kjer so bili Izraelovi otroci, tam ni bilo toče.
Only in the land of Goshen where the Israelites lived was there no hail.
27 Faraon je poslal in dal poklicati Mojzesa in Arona ter jima rekel: »Tokrat sem grešil. Gospod je pravičen, jaz in moje ljudstvo pa smo zlobni.
Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and told them, “I admit that I sinned this time! The Lord is right, and I and my people are wrong!
28 Rotita Gospoda (kajti dovolj je ), da ne bo več mogočnih grmenj in toče, in jaz vam bom pustil oditi in ne boste več ostali.«
Pray to the Lord for us, because there's been more than enough of God's thunder and hail. I will let you leave. You don't need to stay here any longer.”
29 Mojzes mu je rekel: »Takoj, ko odidem iz mesta, bom razširil svoje roke h Gospodu in grmenje bo prenehalo niti nič več ne bo toče, da lahko spoznaš, da je zemlja Gospodova.
“Once I've left the city, I will pray to the Lord for you,” Moses told him. “The thunder will stop, and there'll be no more hail, so that you will realize that the earth belongs to the Lord.
30 Toda kar se tiče tebe in tvojih služabnikov vem, da se še ne boste bali Gospoda Boga.«
But I know you and your officials still do not really respect the Lord our God.”
31 Udarjena sta bila lan in ječmen, kajti ječmen je bil v klasu, lan pa je bil [v] cvetu.
(The flax and barley were destroyed, because the barley was ripe and the flax was flowering.
32 Toda pšenica in pira nista bili udarjeni, kajti nista bili zreli.
However, the wheat and the spelt were not destroyed because they grow later.)
33 Mojzes je odšel iz mesta od faraona in svoje roke razširil h Gospodu. Grmenja in toča sta prenehali in dež se ni izlival na zemljo.
Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city, and prayed to the Lord. The thunder and hail stopped, and the rainstorm finished.
34 Ko pa je faraon videl, da so dež, toča in grmenja prenehali, je še bolj grešil in zakrknil svoje srce, on in njegovi služabniki.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again, and he chose to become stubborn again, along with his officials.
35 Faraonovo srce je bilo zakrknjeno niti ni hotel pustiti Izraelovih otrok oditi, kakor je Gospod govoril po Mojzesu.
Because of his stubborn attitude, Pharaoh would not let the Israelites leave, just as the Lord had predicted through Moses.
