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.
The Lord also said to Moses: “Enter to Pharaoh, and you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me.
2 Ako odbiješ da ih pustiš, svu ću ti zemlju kazniti žabama.
But if you are not willing to release them, behold, I will strike all your coasts 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 will seethe with frogs, which will go up and enter into your house, and your bedroom, and upon your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens, and into the remains of your foods.
4 Po tebi, po tvome narodu i svim tvojim službenicima skakat će žabe.'”
And to you, and to your people, and to all your servants, the frogs will enter.’”
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.”
And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your hand over the rivers, and also over the streams and the marshes, and bring forth frogs over the land of Egypt.’”
6 Aron pruži svoju ruku povrh egipatskih voda, i žabe iziđoše i prekriše zemlju egipatsku.
And Aaron extended 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.
Then the sorcerers also, by their incantations, did similarly, and they brought forth frogs upon 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.”
But Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them: “Pray to the Lord, so as to take away the frogs from me and from my people. And I will release the people, so as to sacrifice to the Lord.”
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.”
And Moses said to Pharaoh: “Appoint for me a time, when I should petition on behalf of you, and your servants, and your people, so that the frogs may be driven away from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people, and so that they may remain only in the river.”
10 “Sutra”, reče. “Neka bude kako kažeš”, odvrati Mojsije, “da znaš kako nitko nije kao Jahve, Bog naš.
And he responded, “Tomorrow.” Then he said, “I will act according to your word, so that you may know that there is no one like the Lord our God.
11 Žabe će otići od tebe, od tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda; ostat će samo u Rijeci.”
And the frogs will withdraw from you, and from your house, and from your servants, and from your people. And they will remain only in the river.”
12 Mojsije i Aron odu od faraona, a onda Mojsije zazva Jahvu zbog žaba kojima je kaznio faraona.
And Moses and Aaron departed from Pharaoh. And Moses cried out to the Lord on behalf of the promise that he had made to Pharaoh concerning the frogs.
13 I Jahve usliša Mojsija, te žabe pocrkaju po kućama, dvorištima i njivama.
And the Lord acted according to the word of Moses. And the frogs died out of the houses, and out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 Na hrpe su ih zgrtali, zemlja se njima usmrdjela.
And they gathered them together into immense piles, and the land was polluted.
15 Kad je faraon vidio da je nastupilo olakšanje, srce mu otvrdnu te ne posluša Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.
Then Pharaoh, seeing that relief had been provided, hardened his own heart, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
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.”
And the Lord said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Extend your staff and strike the dust of the earth. And let there be stinging insects throughout the entire 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.
And they did so. And Aaron extended his hand, holding the staff, and he struck the dust of the earth, and there came stinging insects upon men and upon beasts. All the dust of the earth was turned into stinging insects through all the land of Egypt.
18 Vračari pokušaše da svojim vračanjem stvore komarce, ali nisu mogli. Ljudi i životinje postanu plijenom komaraca.
And the sorcerers, with their incantations, did similarly, in order to bring forth stinging insects, but they were not able. And there were stinging insects, as much on men as on beasts.
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.
And the sorcerers said to Pharaoh: “This is the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.
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.
The Lord also said to Moses: “Arise at first light, and stand in the sight of Pharaoh, for he will go out to the waters. And you will say to him: ‘Thus says the Lord: Release my people to sacrifice to 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.
But if you will not release them, behold, I will send upon you, and upon your servants, and upon your people, and into your houses, diverse kinds of flies. And the houses of the Egyptians will be filled with diverse kinds of flies, as well as the whole land in which they will be.
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.
And in that day, I will cause a miracle in the land of Goshen, where my people are, so that flies will not be there. And you will know that I am the Lord in the midst of the earth.
23 Tu ću razliku napraviti između svoga i tvoga naroda. To će znamenje biti sutra.'”
And I will set a division between my people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will 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.
And the Lord did so. And there came very grievous flies into the houses of Pharaoh and of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt. And the land was polluted, in this way, by the flies.
25 Sad faraon pozove Mojsija i Arona pa im rekne: “Idite, prinesite žrtvu svome Bogu, ali u ovoj zemlji.”
And Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron, and he said to them, “Go and sacrifice to your God in this 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?
And Moses said: “It cannot be so. For we will immolate the abominations of the Egyptians to the Lord our God. For if we slaughter those things which the Egyptians worship, in their presence, they will stone us.
27 Zato moramo u pustinju tri dana hoda te prinijeti žrtvu Jahvi, Bogu svome, kako nam je zapovjedio.”
We will sojourn three days’ journey into the wilderness. And we will sacrifice to the Lord our God, just as he has instructed us.”
28 “Pustit ću vas da odete u pustinju”, odgovori faraon, “i prinesete žrtvu Jahvi, svome Bogu, ali ne odlazite predaleko. Molite za me!”
And Pharaoh said: “I will release you in order to sacrifice to the Lord your God in the desert. Yet you may only go so far. Petition 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.”
And Moses said: “After departing from you, I will pray to the Lord. And the flies will withdraw from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people, tomorrow. Yet do not be willing to deceive any longer, so that you would not release the people to sacrifice to the Lord.”
30 Tako Mojsije ode od faraona i pomoli se Jahvi.
And Moses, departing from Pharaoh, prayed to the Lord.
31 I Jahve učini kako je Mojsije tražio: s faraona, s njegovih službenika i s njegova puka nestane obada - ni jedan jedini nije ostao.
And he acted according to his word. And he took away the flies from Pharaoh, and from his servants, and from his people. There was not even one left behind.
32 Ali opet ukruti faraon srce svoje i ne dopusti narodu da ode.
And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, so that, even at this turn, he would not release the people.
