Izlazak 8

1 opet Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Pođi k faraonu i reci mu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Pusti moj narod da ode i štovanje mi iskaže.

YHWH spoke to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, "This is what YHWH says, 'Let my people go, that they may serve me.

2 Ako odbiješ da ih pustiš, svu ću ti zemlju kazniti žabama.

If you refuse to let them go, look, I will plague all your borders with frogs:

3 Rijeka će vrvjeti žabama. One će izići i prodrijeti u tvoj dvor, u ložnicu, u tvoju postelju, u kuće tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda, pod sačeve i naćve tvoje.

and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedchamber, and on your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading troughs:

4 Po tebi, po tvome narodu i svim tvojim službenicima skakat će žabe.'”

and the frogs shall come up both on you, and on your people, and on all your servants.'"

5 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Reci Aronu neka ispruži svoju ruku sa štapom povrh rijeka, prokopa i jezeraca i učini da žabe navale na egipatsku zemlju.”

YHWH said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, 'Stretch forth your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.'"

6 Aron pruži svoju ruku povrh egipatskih voda, i žabe iziđoše i prekriše zemlju egipatsku.

Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.

7 Ali i vračari učiniše tako svojim vračanjem, te žabe navališe na egipatsku zemlju.

The magicians did in like manner with their secret arts, and brought up frogs on the land of Egypt.

8 Zovne sad faraon Mojsija i Arona i rekne: “Molite Jahvu da ukloni žabe od mene i moga puka, a ja ću pustiti narod da prinese žrtvu Jahvi.”

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, "Pray to YHWH, that he take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to YHWH."

9 Mojsije uzvrati faraonu: “Dostoj se odrediti mi kad hoćeš da molim za te, za tvoje službenike i za tvoj narod da se žabe odstrane od tebe i tvojih domova i ostanu samo u Rijeci.”

Moses said to Pharaoh, "I give you the honor of setting the time that I should pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, and remain in the river only."

10 “Sutra”, reče. “Neka bude kako kažeš”, odvrati Mojsije, “da znaš kako nitko nije kao Jahve, Bog naš.

He said, "Tomorrow." He said, "Be it according to your word, that you may know that there is none like YHWH our God.

11 Žabe će otići od tebe, od tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda; ostat će samo u Rijeci.”

The frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. They shall remain in the river only."

12 Mojsije i Aron odu od faraona, a onda Mojsije zazva Jahvu zbog žaba kojima je kaznio faraona.

Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried to YHWH concerning the frogs which he had brought on Pharaoh.

13 I Jahve usliša Mojsija, te žabe pocrkaju po kućama, dvorištima i njivama.

YHWH did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the fields.

14 Na hrpe su ih zgrtali, zemlja se njima usmrdjela.

They gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

15 Kad je faraon vidio da je nastupilo olakšanje, srce mu otvrdnu te ne posluša Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was a respite, he hardened his heart, and did not listen to them, as YHWH had spoken.

16 Onda će opet Jahve Mojsiju: “Reci Aronu neka zamahne svojim štapom i udari po prahu na tlu neka se pretvori u komarce po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.”

YHWH said to Moses, "Tell Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff, and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.'"

17 I učine tako: zamahne Aron rukom i štapom te udari po prahu na tlu. Komarci navale na ljude i životinje. Sav prah na tlu pretvori se u komarce po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.

They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were lice on man, and on animal; all the dust of the earth became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

18 Vračari pokušaše da svojim vračanjem stvore komarce, ali nisu mogli. Ljudi i životinje postanu plijenom komaraca.

The magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth lice, but they couldn't. There were lice on man, and on animal.

19 Tada vračari reknu faraonu: “To je prst Božji!” Ali je faraonovo srce bilo okorjelo, pa nije poslušao Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.

Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God:" and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as YHWH had spoken.

20 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Podrani ujutro, iziđi pred faraona kad krene k vodi, i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve: Pusti moj narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.

YHWH said to Moses, "Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; look, he comes forth to the water; and tell him, 'This is what YHWH says, "Let my people go, that they may serve me.

21 Ako ne pustiš moga naroda, pripustit ću obade na te, na tvoje službenike, na tvoj puk i tvoje domove. Egipatski domovi i samo tlo na kojem stoje vrvjet će od obada.

Else, if you will not let my people go, look, I will send swarms of flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.

22 Ali ću toga dana izuzeti gošenski kraj, u kojem živi moj narod, te se ondje obadi neće pojaviti, tako da znaš da sam ja Jahve u središtu zemlje.

I will set apart in that day the land of Gesen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end you may know that I am YHWH in the midst of the earth.

23 Tu ću razliku napraviti između svoga i tvoga naroda. To će znamenje biti sutra.'”

I will put a division between my people and your people: by tomorrow shall this sign be."'"

24 I učini Jahve tako. Rojevi obada nalete u faraonov dvor, na domove njegovih službenika i po svoj zemlji egipatskoj. Zemlja nastrada od obada.

YHWH did so; and there came grievous swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of flies.

25 Sad faraon pozove Mojsija i Arona pa im rekne: “Idite, prinesite žrtvu svome Bogu, ali u ovoj zemlji.”

Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God in the land."

26 “Ne dolikuje da tako učinimo”, odgovori Mojsije. “Žrtve koje mi prinosimo Jahvi, Bogu svome, za Egipćane su svetogrđe. Kad bismo, dakle, na njihove oči prinosili žrtve koje su Egipćanima svetogrdne, zar nas ne bi kamenovali?

Moses said, "It isn't appropriate to do so; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to YHWH our God. Look, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and won't they stone us?

27 Zato moramo u pustinju tri dana hoda te prinijeti žrtvu Jahvi, Bogu svome, kako nam je zapovjedio.”

We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to YHWH our God, as he shall command us."

28 “Pustit ću vas da odete u pustinju”, odgovori faraon, “i prinesete žrtvu Jahvi, svome Bogu, ali ne odlazite predaleko. Molite za me!”

Pharaoh said, "I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to YHWH your God in the wilderness, only you shall not go very far away. Pray for me."

29 Nato odvrati Mojsije: “Čim odem od tebe, zazvat ću Jahvu da sutra nestane obada s faraona, njegovih službenika i njegova puka. Ali neka faraon više ne vara! Neka pusti narod da ide i prinese žrtvu Jahvi.”

Moses said, "Look, I go out from you, and I will pray to God that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow; only do not let Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to YHWH."

30 Tako Mojsije ode od faraona i pomoli se Jahvi.

Moses went out from Pharaoh, and prayed to God.

31 I Jahve učini kako je Mojsije tražio: s faraona, s njegovih službenika i s njegova puka nestane obada - ni jedan jedini nije ostao.

YHWH did according to the word of Moses, and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. There remained not one.

32 Ali opet ukruti faraon srce svoje i ne dopusti narodu da ode.

Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.
