< Izlazak 9 >

1 Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Idi k faraonu i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve, Bog Hebreja: Pusti moj narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 Ako ga ne pustiš, nego ga i dalje budeš zadržavao,
For if you refuse to let them go, and hold them still,
3 ruka Jahvina udarit će strašnim pomorom po tvome blagu što je u polju: po konjima, magaradi, devama, krupnoj i sitnoj stoci.
behold, the LORD’s hand is on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks with a very grievous pestilence.
4 Razlikovat će Jahve stoku Izraelaca od stoke Egipćana, tako da ništa što pripada Izraelcima neće stradati.'”
The LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt; and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.”’”
5 Jahve je odredio i vrijeme, rekavši: “Sutra će Jahve izvesti ovo u zemlji.”
The LORD appointed a set time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.”
6 Sutradan Jahve tako i učini. Sva stoka Egipćana ugine, a od stoke Izraelaca nije uginulo ni jedno grlo.
The LORD did that thing on the next day; and all the livestock of Egypt died, but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.
7 Faraon je istraživao i uvjerio se da od izraelske stoke nije uginulo ni jedno grlo. Ali je srce faraonovo ipak otvrdlo i nije pustio naroda.
Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not so much as one of the livestock of the Israelites dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was stubborn, and he didn’t let the people go.
8 Reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu: “Zagrabite pune pregršti pepela iz peći, pa neka ga Mojsije pred faraonovim očima baci prema nebu.
The LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it towards the sky in the sight of Pharaoh.
9 Od toga će nastati sitna prašina po svoj zemlji egipatskoj, i na ljudima će i na životinjama izazivati otekline i stvarati čireve s kraja na kraj Egipta.”
It shall become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and shall be boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal, throughout all the land of Egypt.”
10 Tako oni uzeše pepela iz peći i dođoše pred faraona. Onda Mojsije rasu pepeo prema nebu, a otekline s čirevima prekriše ljude i životinje.
They took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up towards the sky; and it became boils and blisters breaking out on man and on animal.
11 Ni čarobnjaci se nisu mogli pojaviti pred Mojsijem, jer su i čarobnjaci, kao i ostali Egipćani, bili prekriveni čirevima.
The magicians couldn’t stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.
12 Ali je Jahve otvrdnuo srce faraonu, pa on ne posluša Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve Mojsiju i rekao.
The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he didn’t listen to them, as the LORD had spoken to Moses.
13 Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Podrani ujutro, iziđi pred faraona i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve, Bog Hebreja: Pusti narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
The LORD said to Moses, “Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and tell him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
14 Ako ih ne pustiš, sva zla svoja navalit ću ovaj put na te, na tvoje službenike i tvoj puk, tako da spoznaš da nema nikoga na svoj zemlji kao što sam ja.
For this time I will send all my plagues against your heart, against your officials, and against your people; that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
15 Da sam ruku svoju spustio i udario tebe i tvoj puk pomorom, nestalo bi te sa zemlje.
For now I would have stretched out my hand, and struck you and your people with pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth;
16 Poštedio sam te da ti pokažem svoju moć i da se hvali moje ime po svoj zemlji.
but indeed for this cause I have made you stand: to show you my power, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth,
17 Ali se ti previše uzdižeš nad mojim narodom i priječiš mu da ode.
because you still exalt yourself against my people, that you won’t let them go.
18 Sutra u ovo doba pustit ću tuču tako strašnu kakve u Egiptu još nije bilo otkad je postao do sada.
Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the day it was founded even until now.
19 Zato naredi da pod krov utjeraju tvoje blago i sve što je vani, na otvorenu. Sve što se nađe u polju, bilo čovjek bilo živinče, ne bude li uvedeno unutra, poginut će kad tuča zaspe po njima.'”
Now therefore command that all of your livestock and all that you have in the field be brought into shelter. The hail will come down on every man and animal that is found in the field, and isn’t brought home, and they will die.”’”
20 Faraonovi službenici, koji su se pobojali Jahvina govora, utjeraju svoje sluge i svoje blago unutra.
Those who feared the LORD’s word amongst the servants of Pharaoh made their servants and their livestock flee into the houses.
21 Oni koji nisu marili za Jahvinu prijetnju ostave vani i svoje sluge i stoku.
Whoever didn’t respect the LORD’s word left his servants and his livestock in the field.
22 Onda rekne Jahve Mojsiju: “Pruži ruku prema nebu da udari tuča po svoj zemlji egipatskoj: po ljudima, životinjama i svemu bilju u zemlji egipatskoj.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand towards the sky, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on animal, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”
23 Mojsije diže svoj štap prema nebu. Jahve zagrmje i pusti tuču i munje sastavi sa zemljom. Sipao je Jahve tuču po zemlji Egipćana.
Moses stretched out his rod towards the heavens, and the LORD sent thunder and hail; and lightning flashed down to the earth. The LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt.
24 Tuča je mlatila, kroz nju munje parale. Strahota se takva nije oborila na zemlju egipatsku otkako su ljudi u njoj.
So there was very severe hail, and lightning mixed with the hail, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
25 Tuča pobi po svem Egiptu sve što je ostalo vani, ljude i životinje; uništi sve bilje po poljima i sva stabla poljska polomi.
The hail struck throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and animal; and the hail struck every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
26 Samo u gošenskom kraju, gdje su živjeli Izraelci, nije bilo tuče.
Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.
27 Faraon posla po Mojsija i Arona pa im reče: “Ovaj put priznajem da sam kriv. Jahve ima pravo, a ja i moj narod krivo.
Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
28 Molite Jahvu da ustavi gromove i tuču, a ja ću vas pustiti da idete. Nećete više dugo ostati.”
Pray to the LORD; for there has been enough of mighty thunderings and hail. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.”
29 “Kad iziđem iz grada”, reče mu Mojsije, “dići ću ruke prema Jahvi, pa će gromovi prestati, a ni tuče više neće biti, tako da znaš da zemlja pripada Jahvi.
Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunders shall cease, and there will not be any more hail; that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s.
30 Ali ni ti ni tvoji dvorani, znam ja, još se ne bojite Boga Jahve.”
But as for you and your servants, I know that you don’t yet fear the LORD God.”
31 I tako propade lan i ječam: jer ječam bijaše u klasu, a lan u cvatu.
The flax and the barley were struck, for the barley had ripened and the flax was blooming.
32 Pšenica i raž nisu nastradali jer su ozima žita.
But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they had not grown up.
33 Otišavši od faraona, Mojsije iziđe iz grada i podigne ruke prema Jahvi. Prestane grmljavina i tuča, a ni kiša više nije padala na zemlju.
Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread out his hands to the LORD; and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
34 Kad je faraon vidio da je prestala grmljavina, tuča i kiša, opet padne u grijeh: i on i njegovi službenici opet otvrdnu srcem.
When Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders had ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
35 Otvrdnu srce faraonu i ne pusti on Izraelce, kako je Jahve i prorekao preko Mojsija.
The heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he didn’t let the children of Israel go, just as the LORD had spoken through Moses.
