Exodus 10
1 And the LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might show these my signs before him:
Reče Jahve Mojsiju: “Idi k faraonu. Učinio sam da njemu i njegovim službenicima otvrdne srce da izvedem svoja znamenja među njima;
2 And that you may tell in the ears of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have worked in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know how that I am the LORD.
da možeš pripovjedati svome sinu i svome unuku što sam učinio Egipćanima i kakva sam znamenja izvodio među njima, kako biste znali da sam ja Jahve.”
3 And Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh, and said to him, Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
Tako Mojsije i Aron odu k faraonu i kažu mu: “Ovako poručuje Jahve, Bog Hebreja: 'Dokle ćeš odbijati da se preda mnom poniziš? Pusti moj narod da mi iskaže štovanje.
4 Else, if you refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into your coast:
Jer ako ne pustiš moga naroda, sutra ću navesti skakavce na tvoju zemlju.
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which grows for you out of the field:
Tako će prekriti površinu da se zemlja od njih neće vidjeti. Pojest će ono što vam je iza tuče ostalo; i ogolit će vam sva stabla što po polju rastu.
6 And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither your fathers, nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
Ispunit će ti sav dvor, kuće tvojih službenika i domove svih ostalih Egipćana - takvo što ne vidješe ni tvoji očevi ni očevi tvojih očeva u ovoj zemlji od svojih vremena do danas.'” Okrene se i ode od faraona.
7 And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: know you not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
“Dokle će nam ovaj čovjek biti stupica?” - rekoše faraonu njegovi službenici. - “Pusti te ljude neka idu i iskažu štovanje Jahvi, svome Bogu! Zar ne vidiš kako Egipat srlja u propast?”
8 And Moses and Aaron were brought again to Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
Dovedu Mojsija i Arona natrag k faraonu, a on im reče: “Idite! Iskažite štovanje Jahvi, svome Bogu! A tko će sve ići?”
9 And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast to the LORD.
“Svi idemo”, odgovori Mojsije, “i mlado i staro. Odlazimo sa svojim sinovima i svojim kćerima; sa svojom krupnom i sitnom stokom, jer moramo održati svečanost Jahvi.”
10 And he said to them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
“Jahve bio s vama isto kao što i ja pustio da s vama pođu i djeca!” - odgovori im. “Očito se vidi da vam nakana nije čista.
11 Not so: go now you that are men, and serve the LORD; for that you did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
Nećemo tako! Nego muškarci neka odu i štovanje iskažu Jahvi. To ste i tražili.” I otjeraju ih od faraona.
12 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail has left.
Tada reče Jahve Mojsiju: “Pruži ruku povrh zemlje egipatske da navale skakavci na egipatsku zemlju i pojedu sve bilje što još ostade nakon tuče!”
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind on the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Tako Mojsije podigne svoj štap povrh egipatske zemlje, a Jahve navrati istočni vjetar po zemlji; puhao je toga cijelog dana i cijele noći. A kad je jutro svanulo, vjetar nanio skakavce.
14 And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
Oni se razlete po svoj egipatskoj zemlji i padnu po svim krajevima Egipta u silnoj gustoći: toliko ih mnoštvo nikad prije nije bilo niti će kada biti.
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Pokriju sve tlo, tako da se od njih zacrnjelo. Pojedu sve bilje u polju i sve plodove sa stabala što su bili ostali iza tuče. Ništa se više nije zelenjelo: ni stabla ni poljska trava u svem Egiptu.
16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
Brže-bolje dozva faraon Mojsija i Arona pa im reče: “Sagriješio sam protiv Jahve, vašega Boga, i vas!
17 Now therefore forgive, I pray you, my sin only this once, and entreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
Oprostite mi uvredu još samo ovaj put i molite Jahvu, Boga svoga, da samo otkloni od mene ovaj smrtonosni bič!”
18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated the LORD.
Kad je Mojsije otišao od faraona, zazva Jahvu
19 And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
i Jahve promijeni vjetar u veoma jak zapadnjak, koji pothvati skakavce i odnese prema Crvenome moru. Ni jedan jedini skakavac nije ostao ni u kojem kraju Egipta.
20 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
Ali je Jahve otvrdnuo srce faraonu i ne pusti on Izraelaca.
21 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
“Pruži ruku prema nebu”, rekne Jahve Mojsiju, “pa neka se tmina spusti na egipatsku zemlju, tmina koja će se moći opipati.”
22 And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
Mojsije pruži ruku prema nebu i spusti se gusta tmina na svu zemlju egipatsku: tri je dana trajala.
23 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Tri dana nisu ljudi jedan drugoga mogli vidjeti i nitko se sa svoga mjesta nije micao. A u mjestima gdje su Izraelci živjeli sjala svjetlost.
24 And Pharaoh called to Moses, and said, Go you, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
Pozva onda faraon Mojsija i reče: “Idi i štovanje iskaži Jahvi! Ali vaša stoka, krupna i sitna, neka ostane ovdje. Vaša djeca neka idu s vama!”
25 And Moses said, You must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
“Ti nas sam moraš opskrbiti prinosima i žrtvama paljenicama koje ćemo prinijeti Jahvi, Bogu svojemu”, odgovori Mojsije.
26 Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
“Zato ćemo sa sobom potjerati i svoja stada. Ni papak neće ostati ovdje. Od njih nam valja izabrati za žrtvovanje Jahvi, Bogu našemu, a ne znamo, dok onamo ne stignemo, što moramo Jahvi prinijeti.”
27 But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let them go.
Jahve otvrdne faraonu srce i on ne pristane da odu.
28 And Pharaoh said to him, Get you from me, take heed to yourself, see my face no more; for in that day you see my face you shall die.
“Odlazi!” - vikne faraon na Mojsija. “I da mi više na oči ne dolaziš! Onoga dana kad mi se opet pojaviš na oči, zaglavit ćeš!”
29 And Moses said, You have spoken well, I will see your face again no more.
“Dobro si kazao!” - uzvrati Mojsije. “Lica tvoga više neću vidjeti!”
