Izlazak 13
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Meni posvetite svakoga prvorođenca! Prvenci materina krila kod Izraelaca, i od ljudi i od životinja, meni pripadaju!”
“Set apart to me all the firstborn, every firstborn male among the Israelites, both of people and animals. The firstborn belongs to me.”
3 A onda Mojsije reče narodu: “Sjećajte se ovoga dana u koji ste izbavljeni iz Egipta, iz kuće ropstva, jer vas Jahve izbavi odande svojom jakom mišicom. Ukvasani kruh neka se ne jede!
Moses said to the people, “Call this day to mind, the day on which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by Yahweh's strong hand he brought you out from this place. No bread with yeast may be eaten.
4 Ovoga dana mjeseca Abiba vaše je izbavljenje.
You are going out of Egypt on this day, in the month of Aviv.
5 Stoga: kad te Jahve uvede u zemlju Kanaanaca, Hetita, Amorejaca, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca, za koju se zakleo tvojim precima da će ti je dati - zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko - ovoga mjeseca obavi ovakav obred:
When Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and the Jebusites, the land that he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—then you must observe this act of worship in this month.
6 sedam dana jedi nekvasan kruh, a sedmoga dana neka se slavi svetkovina u čast Jahvi.
For seven days you must eat bread without yeast; on the seventh day there will be a feast to honor Yahweh.
7 Sedam dana neka se jede nekvasan kruh; ukvasanog kruha neka ne bude kod tebe; i neka se nigdje ne vidi kvasac na tvome području.
Bread without yeast must be eaten throughout the seven days; no bread with yeast may be seen among you. No yeast may be seen with you within any of your borders.
8 Svome sinu toga dana objasni: to je za ono što mi je Jahve učinio kad sam se iz Egipta izbavio.
On that day you are to say to your children, 'This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.'
9 Neka ti bude kao znak na tvojoj ruci i kao opomena na tvome čelu: da Jahvin zakon bude uvijek na tvojim ustima. Jer te rukom jakom Jahve izbavio iz Egipta.
This will be a reminder for you on your hand, and a reminder on your forehead. This is so the law of Yahweh may be in your mouth, for with a strong hand Yahweh brought you out of Egypt.
10 Ovaj propis vršite svake godine u određeno vrijeme.”
Therefore you must keep this law at its appointed time from year to year.
11 “A kada te Jahve dovede u zemlju Kanaanaca - kako vam se zakle, tebi i tvojim ocima - i kada ti je preda,
When Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your ancestors to do, and when he gives the land to you,
12 ustupajte Jahvi prvorođence materinjega krila, a tako i sve prvine što ih tvoja stoka dade - svako muško pripada Jahvi!
you must set apart to Yahweh the first offspring of every womb. All the firstborn offspring of your animals that are males, will belong to Yahweh.
13 Svaku prvinu magaradi otkupi janjetom ili jaretom. Ako je ne otkupiš, slomi joj vrat. A svakoga prvorođenca između svoje djece otkupi.
Every firstborn of a donkey you must buy back with a lamb. If you do not buy it back, then you must break its neck. But each of your firstborn males among all your sons—you must buy them back.
14 Kad te sin tvoj sutra zapita: Što znači to? - odgovori mu: Rukom jakom izvede nas Jahve iz Egipta, iz kuće ropstva.
When your son asks you later, 'What does this mean?' then you are to tell him, 'It was by a strong hand that Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of slavery.
15 Kako je faraon postao tvrdokoran pa nas nije htio pustiti, Jahve je poubijao sve prvorođence u zemlji egipatskoj: prvorođence ljudi i prvine stoke. Eto zato Jahvi žrtvujem svaku mušku prvinu materinjega krila, a svakoga prvorođenca od svojih sinova otkupljujem.
When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of people and the firstborn of animals. That is why I sacrifice to Yahweh the firstborn male of every animal, and why I buy back the firstborn of my sons.'
16 Neka ti to bude kao znak na tvojoj ruci i kao znamenje posred čela da nas je rukom jakom Jahve izbavio iz Egipta.”
This will become a reminder on your hands, and a reminder on your forehead, for it was by a strong hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt.”
17 Kad je faraon dopustio da narod ode, Bog ih nije poveo prema filistejskoj zemlji, iako je onuda bilo najbliže. Bog je, naime, rekao: “Mogao bi se narod predomisliti i vratiti u Egipat kad vidi ratovanje.”
When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that land was nearby. For God said, “Perhaps the people will change their minds when they experience war and will then return to Egypt.”
18 Stoga Bog povede narod zaobilaznim putem, kroz pustinju prema Crvenome moru. Izraelci su napustili zemlju egipatsku naoružani od glave do pete.
So God led the people around through the wilderness to the Sea of Reeds. The Israelites went up out of the land of Egypt armed for battle.
19 Mojsije ponese sa sobom Josipove kosti. Jer Josip bijaše zakleo Izraelce riječima: “Bog će se zacijelo za vas zauzeti. Tada i moje kosti odavde ponesite sa sobom!”
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the Israelites solemnly swear and said, “God will surely rescue you, and you must carry away my bones with you.”
20 Krenuvši iz Sukota, utabore se u Etamu, na kraju pustinje.
The Israelites journeyed from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
21 Jahve je išao pred njima, danju u stupu od oblaka da im put pokazuje, a noću u stupu od ognja da im svijetli. Tako su mogli putovati i danju i noću.
Yahweh went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them on the way. By night he went in a pillar of fire to give them light. In this way they could travel by day and by night.
22 I nije ispred naroda nestajao stup od oblaka danju ni stup od ognja noću.
Yahweh did not take away from before the people the daytime pillar of cloud or the nighttime pillar of fire.
