Exodus 4

1 And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.

A Mojsije odgovori i reèe: ali neæe mi vjerovati ni poslušati glasa mojega; jer æe reæi: nije ti se Gospod javio.

2 And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod.

A Gospod mu reèe: šta ti je to u ruci? A on odgovori: štap.

3 And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.

A Bog mu reèe: baci ga na zemlju. I baci ga na zemlju, a on posta zmija. I Mojsije pobježe od nje.

4 And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand: )

A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: pruži ruku svoju, pa je uhvati za rep. I pruži ruku svoju, i uhvati je, i opet posta štap u ruci njegovoj.

5 So that they may be certain that the Lord, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by you.

To uèini, reèe Bog, da vjeruju da ti se javio Gospod Bog otaca njihovijeh, Bog Avramov, Bog Isakov i Bog Jakovljev.

6 Then the Lord said to him again, Put your hand inside your clothing. And he put his hand inside his robe: and when he took it out it was like the hand of a leper, as white as snow.

I opet mu reèe Gospod: turi sada ruku svoju u njedra svoja. I on turi ruku svoju u njedra svoja; a kad je izvadi iz njedara, a to ruka mu gubava, bijela kao snijeg.

7 And he said, Put your hand inside your robe again. (And he put his hand into his robe again, and when he took it out he saw that it had become like his other flesh.)

A Bog mu reèe: turi opet ruku svoju u njedra svoja. I opet turi ruku svoju u njedra svoja; a kad je izvadi iz njedara, a to opet postala kao i ostalo tijelo njegovo.

8 And if they do not have faith in you or give ear to the voice of the first sign, they will have faith in the second sign.

Tako, reèe Bog, ako ti ne uzvjeruju i ne poslušaju glasa tvojega za prvi znak, poslušaæe za drugi znak.

9 And if they have no faith even in these two signs and will not give ear to your voice, then you are to take the water of the Nile and put it on the dry land: and the water you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.

Ako li ne uzvjeruju ni za ta dva znaka i ne poslušaju glasa tvojega, a ti zahvati vode iz rijeke, i prolij na zemlju, i pretvoriæe se voda koju zahvatiš iz rijeke, i provræi æe se u krv na zemlji.

10 And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I am not a man of words; I have never been so, and am not now, even after what you have said to your servant: for talking is hard for me, and I am slow of tongue.

A Mojsije reèe Gospodu: molim ti se, Gospode, nijesam rjeèit èovjek, niti sam prije bio niti sam otkako si progovorio sa slugom svojim, nego sam sporijeh usta i spora jezika.

11 And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

A Gospod mu reèe: ko je dao usta èovjeku? ili ko može stvoriti nijema ili gluha ili okata ili slijepa? zar ne ja, Gospod?

12 So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.

Idi dakle, ja æu biti s ustima tvojim, i uèiæu te šta æeš govoriti.

13 And he said, O Lord, send, if you will, by the hand of anyone whom it seems good to you to send.

A Mojsije reèe: molim te, Gospode, pošlji onoga koga treba da pošlješ.

14 And the Lord was angry with Moses, and said, Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? To my knowledge he is good at talking. And now he is coming out to you: and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.

I razgnjevi se Gospod na Mojsija, i reèe mu: nije li ti brat Aron Levit? znam da je on rjeèit; i evo on æe te sresti, i kad te vidi obradovaæe se u srcu svojem.

15 Let him give ear to your voice, and you will put my words in his mouth; and I will be with your mouth and with his, teaching you what you have to do.

Njemu æeš kazati i metnuæeš ove rijeèi u usta njegova, i ja æu biti s tvojim ustima i s njegovijem ustima, i uèiæu vas šta æete èiniti.

16 And he will do the talking for you to the people: he will be to you as a mouth and you will be to him as God.

I on æe mjesto tebe govoriti narodu, i on æe biti tebi mjesto usta a ti æeš biti njemu mjesto Boga.

17 And take in your hand this rod with which you will do the signs.

A taj štap uzmi u ruku svoju, njim æeš èiniti èudesa.

18 And Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go back now to my relations in Egypt and see if they are still living. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

I otide Mojsije, i vrati se k Jotoru tastu svojemu, i reèe mu: pusti me da idem, da se vratim k braæi svojoj u Misiru, da vidim jesu li jošte u životu. I reèe Jotor Mojsiju: idi s mirom.

19 And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, Go back to Egypt, for all the men are dead who were attempting to take your life.

I reèe Gospod Mojsiju u zemlji Madijamskoj: idi, vrati se u Misir, jer su pomrli svi koji su tražili dušu tvoju.

20 And Moses took his wife and his sons and put them on an ass and went back to the land of Egypt: and he took the rod of God in his hand.

I uze Mojsije ženu svoju i sinove svoje, i posadi ih na magarca, i poðe natrag u zemlju Misirsku. I uze Mojsije štap Božji u ruku svoju.

21 And the Lord said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have given you power to do: but I will make his heart hard and he will not let the people go.

I reèe Gospod Mojsiju: kad otideš i vratiš se u Misir, gledaj da uèiniš pred Faraonom sva èudesa koja ti metnuh u ruku: a ja æu uèiniti da mu otvrdne srce i ne pusti naroda.

22 And you are to say to Pharaoh, The Lord says, Israel is the first of my sons:

A ti æeš reæi Faraonu: ovako kaže Gospod: Izrailj je sin moj, prvenac moj.

23 And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.

I kazah ti: pusti sina mojega da mi posluži. A ti ga ne htje pustiti; evo ja æu ubiti sina tvojega, prvenca tvojega.

24 Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.

I kad bijaše na putu u gostionici, doðe k njemu Gospod i šæaše da ga ubije.

25 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cutting off the skin of her son's private parts, and touching his feet with it, she said, Truly you are a husband of blood to me.

A Sefora uze oštar nož, i obreza sina svojega, i okrajak baci k nogama njegovijem govoreæi: ti si mi krvav zaruènik.

26 So he let him go. Then she said, You are a husband of blood because of the circumcision.

Tada ga ostavi Gospod; a ona radi obrezanja reèe: krvav zaruènik.

27 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the waste land and you will see Moses. So he went and came across Moses at the mountain of God, and gave him a kiss.

A Gospod reèe Aronu: izidi u pustinju na susret Mojsiju. I otide i srete ga na gori Božijoj, i poljubi ga.

28 And Moses gave Aaron an account of all the words of the Lord which he had sent him to say, and of all the signs which he had given him orders to do.

I Mojsije kaza Aronu sve rijeèi Gospodnje, za koje ga posla, i sve znake koje mu zapovjedi.

29 Then Moses and Aaron went and got together all the chiefs of the children of Israel:

I otidoše Mojsije i Aron, i skupiše sve starješine sinova Izrailjevijeh.

30 And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people.

I Aron kaza sve rijeèi, koje bješe rekao Gospod Mojsiju, a Mojsije uèini znake pred narodom.

31 And the people had faith in them; and hearing that the Lord had taken up the cause of the children of Israel and had seen their troubles, with bent heads they gave him worship.

I narod vjerova; i razumješe da je Gospod pohodio sinove Izrailjeve i vidio nevolju njihovu; i savivši se pokloniše se.
