Exodus 8

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharao, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: send forth my people, that they may serve me.

Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu: »Pojdi k faraonu in mu reci: ›Tako govori Gospod: ›Odpusti moje ljudstvo, da mi bodo lahko služili.‹‹

2 And if you will not send them forth, behold, I afflict all your borders with frogs:

Če pa odkloniš, da jih odpustiš, glej, bom vse tvoje meje udaril z žabami.

3 and the river shall teem with frogs, and they shall go up and enter into your houses, and into your bed-chambers, and upon your beds, and upon the houses of your servants, and of your people and on your dough, and on your ovens.

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.

4 And upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, shall the frogs come up.

Žabe bodo prišle tako nate, kakor na tvoje ljudstvo in na vse tvoje služabnike.«

5 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron your brother, Stretch forth with the hand your rod over the rivers, and over the canals, and over the pools, and bring up the frogs.

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.‹«

6 And Aaron stretched forth his hand over the waters of Egypt, and brought up the frogs: and the frog was brought up, and covered the land of Egypt.

Aron je iztegnil svojo roko nad egiptovske vode in žabe so prišle gor ter pokrile egiptovsko deželo.

7 And the charmers of the Egyptians also did likewise with their sorceries, and brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.

Čarovniki so tako storili s svojimi izrekanji urokov in nad egiptovsko deželo privedli žabe.

8 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, and said, Pray for me to the Lord, and let him take away the frogs from me and from my people; and I will send them away, and they shall sacrifice to the Lord.

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.«

9 And Moses said to Pharao, Appoint me [a time] when I shall pray for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to cause the frogs to disappear from you, and from your people, and from your houses, only in the river shall they be left behind.

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?«

10 And he said, On the morrow: he said therefore, As you has said; that you may know, that there is no other [God] but the Lord.

Rekel je: »Jutri.« Rekel je: » To bodi glede na tvojo besedo, da lahko spoznaš, da ni nikogar podobnega Gospodu, našemu Bogu.

11 And the frogs shall be removed away from you, and from your houses and from the villages, and from your servants, and from your people, only in the river they shall be left.

Žabe bodo odšle od tebe in od tvojih hiš in od tvojih služabnikov in od tvojega ljudstva. Preostale bodo samo še v reki.«

12 And Moses and Aaron went forth from Pharao, and Moses cried to the Lord concerning the restriction of the frogs, as Pharao appointed him.

Mojzes in Aron sta odšla izpred faraona. Mojzes je klical h Gospodu zaradi žab, ki jih je privedel zoper faraona.

13 And the Lord did as Moses said, and the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.

Gospod je storil glede na Mojzesovo besedo in žabe so poginile po hišah, po vaseh in po poljih.

14 And they gathered them together in heaps, and the land stank.

Zbrali so jih skupaj na kupe in dežela se je usmradila.

15 And when Pharao saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the Lord spoke.

Toda ko je faraon videl, da je bil predah, je zakrknil svoje srce in jima ni prisluhnil, kakor je rekel Gospod.

16 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch forth your rod with your hand and strike the dust of the earth; and there shall be lice both upon man, and upon quadrupeds, and in all the land of Egypt.

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Reci Aronu: ›Iztegni svojo palico in udari prah dežele, da [iz] tega lahko nastanejo uši po vsej egiptovski deželi.‹«

17 So Aaron stretched out his rod with his hand, and struck the dust of the earth; and the lice were on men and on quadrupeds, and in all the dust of the earth there were lice.

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.

18 And the charmers also did so with their sorceries, to bring forth the louse, and they could not. And the lice were both on the men and on the quadrupeds.

Čarovniki so tako storili s svojimi izrekanji urokov, da odstranijo uši, toda niso mogli, tako so bile uši na človeku in na živali.

19 So the charmers said to Pharao, This is the finger of God. But the heart of Pharao was hardened, and he listened not to them, as the Lord said.

Potem so čarovniki rekli faraonu: »To je Božji prst.« Faraonovo srce pa je bilo zakrknjeno in jim ni prisluhnil, kakor je rekel Gospod.

20 And the Lord said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharao: and behold, he will go forth to the water, and you shall say to him, These things says the Lord: Send away my people, that they may serve me in the wilderness.

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.

21 And if you will not let my people go, behold, I send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and upon your houses, the dog-fly; and the houses of the Egyptians shall be filled with the dog-fly, even throughout the land upon which they are.

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.

22 and I will distinguish marvellously in that day the land of Gesem, on which my people dwell, in which the dog-fly shall not be: that you may know that I am the Lord the God of all the earth.

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.

23 And I will put a difference between my people and your people, and on the morrow shall this be on the land. And the Lord did thus.

Jaz bom položil ločnico med svojim ljudstvom in tvojim ljudstvom. Jutri bo to znamenje.‹«

24 And the dog-fly came in abundance into the houses of Pharao, and into the houses of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; and the land was destroyed by the dog-fly.

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.

25 And Pharao called Moses and Aaron, saying, Go and sacrifice to the Lord your God in the land.

Faraon je dal poklicati Mojzesa in Arona ter rekel: »Pojdite, žrtvujte vašemu Bogu v deželi.«

26 And Moses said, It can’t be so, for we shall sacrifice to the Lord our God the abominations of the Egyptians; for if we sacrifice the abominations of the Egyptians before them, we shall be stoned.

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?

27 We will go a journey of three days into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, as the Lord said to us.

Šli bomo tri dni potovanja v divjino in žrtvovali Gospodu, našemu Bogu, kakor nam bo zapovedal.«

28 And Pharao said, I [will] let you go, and do you sacrifice to your God in the wilderness, but do not go very far away: pray then for me to the Lord.

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.«

29 And Moses said, I then will go forth from you and pray to God, and the dog-fly shall depart both from your servants, and from your people to-morrow. Do not you, Pharao, deceive again, so as not to send the people away to do sacrifice to the Lord.

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.«

30 And Moses went out from Pharao, and prayed to God.

Mojzes je odšel izpred faraona in rotil Gospoda.

31 And the Lord did as Moses said, and removed the dog-fly from Pharao, and from his servants, and from his people, and there was not one left.

Gospod je storil glede na Mojzesovo besedo in roje muh odstranil od faraona, od njegovih služabnikov in od njegovega ljudstva. Niti ena ni preostala.

32 And Pharao hardened his heart, even on this occasion, and he would not send the people away.

Faraon pa je tudi tokrat zakrknil svoje srce niti ni hotel odpustiti ljudstva.
