Izlazak 1
1 Ovo su imena sinova Izrailjevijeh koji doðoše u Misir, doðoše s Jakovom, svaki sa svojom porodicom:
These are the names of the sons of Israel that came into Egypt together with Jacob their father; they came in each with their whole family.
2 Ruvim, Simeun, Levije i Juda,
Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Judas,
3 Isahar, Zavulon i Venijamin,
Issachar, Zabulon, Benjamin,
4 Dan i Neftalim, Gad i Asir.
Dan and Nephthalim, Gad and Aser.
5 A svega bijaše ih od bedara Jakovljevijeh sedamdeset duša s Josifom, koji bješe u Misiru.
But Joseph was in Egypt. And all the souls [born] of Jacob were seventy-five.
6 A Josif umrije i sva braæa njegova i sav onaj naraštaj.
And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 I sinovi Izrailjevi narodiše se i umnožiše se, i napredovaše i osiliše veoma, da ih se zemlja napuni.
And the children of Israel increased and multiplied, and became numerous and grew exceedingly strong, and the land multiplied them.
8 Tada nasta nov car u Misiru, koji ne znadijaše za Josifa;
And there arose up another king over Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
9 I reèe narodu svojemu: gle, narod sinova Izrailjevijeh veæi je i silniji od nas.
And he said to his nation, Behold, the race of the children of Israel is a great multitude, and is stronger than we:
10 Nego hajde mudro da postupamo s njima, da se ne množe, i kad nastane rat da ne pristanu s neprijateljima našim i ne udare na nas i ne otidu iz zemlje.
come then, let us deal craftily with them, lest at any time they be increased, and whenever war shall happen to us, these also shall be added to our enemies, and having prevailed against us in war, they will depart out of the land.
11 I postaviše nad njima nastojnike da ih muèe teškim poslovima; i graðaše narod Izrailjev Faraonu gradove Pitom i Ramesu.
And he set over them taskmasters, who should afflict them in their works; and they built strong cities for Pharao, both Pitho, and Ramesses, and On, which is Heliopolis.
12 Ali što ga više muèahu to se više množaše i napredovaše, da se grožahu od sinova Izrailjevijeh.
But as they humbled them, by so much they multiplied, and grew exceedingly strong; and the Egyptians greatly abhorred the children of Israel.
13 I žestoko nagonjahu Misirci sinove Izrailjeve na poslove,
And the Egyptians tyrannized over the children of Israel by force.
14 I zagrèivahu im život teškim poslovima, blatom i opekama i svakim radom u polju, i svakim drugim poslom, na koji ih žestoko nagonjahu.
And they embittered their life by hard labors, in the clay and in brick-making, and all the works in the plains, according to all the works, wherein they caused them to serve with violence.
15 I još zapovjedi car Misirski babicama Jevrejskim, od kojih jednoj bješe ime Sefora a drugoj Fuva,
And the king of the Egyptians spoke to the midwives of the Hebrews; the name of the one was, Sepphora; and the name of the second, Phua.
16 I reèe: kad babièite Jevrejke, i u poroðaju vidite da je muško, ubijte ga, a kad bude žensko, nek ostane živo.
And he said, When you do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and they are about to be delivered, if it be a male, kill it; but if a female, save it.
17 Ali se babice bojahu Boga, i ne èinjahu kako im reèe car Misirski, nego ostavljahu djecu u životu.
But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt appointed them; and they saved the male children alive.
18 A car Misirski dozva babice, i reèe im: zašto to èinite, te ostavljate u životu mušku djecu?
And the king of Egypt called the midwives, and said to them, Why is it that you have done this thing, and saved the male children alive?
19 A babice rekoše Faraonu: Jevrejke nisu kao žene Misirke; jaèe su; dok im doðe babica, one veæ rode.
And the midwives said to Pharao, The Hebrew women are not as the women of Egypt, for they are delivered before the midwives go in to them. So they bore children.
20 I Bog uèini dobro babicama; i narod se umnoži i osili veoma;
And God did well to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and grew very strong.
21 I što se babice bojahu Boga, naèini im kuæe.
And as the midwives feared God, they established for themselves families.
22 Tada zapovjedi Faraon svemu narodu svojemu govoreæi: svakoga sina koji se rodi bacite u vodu, a kæeri sve ostavljajte u životu.
And Pharao charged all his people, saying, Whatever male [child] shall be born to the Hebrews, cast into the river; and every female, save it alive.
