Exodus 6

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Now you will see what I am about to do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand he will be forced to let them go, driving them out of his land because of my outstretched arm.

Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Naskoro ćeš vidjeti kako ću ja s faraonom! Pod jakom rukom pustit će ih da odu; pod jakom rukom sam će ih iz svoje zemlje istjerati.”

2 And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh:

Još reče Bog Mojsiju: “Ja sam Jahve.

3 I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu objavljivao sam se kao El Šadaj. Ali njima se nisam očitovao pod svojim imenom - Jahve.

4 And I made an agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their wanderings.

I sklopio sam svoj Savez s njima da ću im dati kanaansku zemlju, zemlju gdje su živjeli kao pridošlice.

5 And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke; and I have kept in mind my agreement.

A sada, pošto sam čuo uzdisaje Izraelaca koje Egipćani drže u ropstvu, sjetih se svoga Saveza.

6 Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.

Kaži, dakle, Izraelcima da sam ja Jahve; da ću vas izbaviti od tereta što su vam ga Egipćani nametnuli. Oslobodit ću vas od ropstva u kojem vas drže; izbavit ću vas udarajući jako i kažnjavajući strogo.

7 And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God; and you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, who takes you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

Za svoj ću vas narod uzeti i bit ću vašim Bogom. Tada ćete znati da sam vas ja, Jahve, vaš Bog, izbavio od egipatske tlake.

8 And I will be your guide into the land which I made an oath to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for your heritage: I am Yahweh.

Dovest ću vas u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo da ću je dati Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu i dat ću vam je u baštinu, ja, Jahve.”

9 And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, but they gave no attention to him, because of the grief of their spirit and the cruel weight of their work.

Mojsije to kazivaše Izraelcima, ali ga ne htjedoše slušati: duhovi su im bili pomućeni od teškoga ropstva.

10 And the Lord said to Moses,

Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju:

11 Go in and say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he is to let the children of Israel go out of his land.

“Idi i reci faraonu, kralju egipatskome, da otpusti Izraelce iz svoje zemlje.”

12 And Moses, answering the Lord, said, See, the children of Israel will not give ear to me; how then will Pharaoh give ear to me, whose lips are unclean?

Mojsije prozbori Jahvi: “Kad me Izraelci nisu slušali, kako će me, spora u govoru, saslušati faraon!”

13 And the word of the Lord came to Moses and Aaron, with orders for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Ali je Jahve govorio Mojsiju i Aronu i slao ih sad k Izraelcima, a sad k faraonu, kralju egipatskome, da pusti Izraelce iz Egipta.

26 These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, Take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt in their armies.

To je onaj Aron i Mojsije kojima je Jahve zapovjedio da izvedu Izraelce iz Egipta po njihovim četama.

27 These are the men who gave orders to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of Egypt: these are the same Moses and Aaron.

To su oni isti, Mojsije i Aron, koji su govorili faraonu, kralju egipatskome, da pusti Izraelce iz Egipta.

28 And on the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses in the land of Egypt,

U dan kad je Jahve govorio s Mojsijem u egipatskoj zemlji,

29 The Lord said to Moses, I am the Lord: say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything I am saying to you.

rekao mu je: “Ja sam Jahve. Izvijesti faraona, egipatskoga kralja, o svemu što ti kažem.”

30 And Moses said to the Lord, My lips are unclean; how is it possible that Pharaoh will give me a hearing?

Mojsije se pred Jahvom ispričavao: “Spor sam ja u govoru. Kako će me faraon poslušati?”
