< Exodus 9 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Idi k faraonu i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve, Bog Hebreja: Pusti moj narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
2 For if you refuse to let them go, and will hold them still,
Ako ga ne pustiš, nego ga i dalje budeš zadržavao,
3 Behold, the hand of the LORD is on your cattle which is in the field, on the horses, on the asses, on the camels, on the oxen, and on the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
ruka Jahvina udarit će strašnim pomorom po tvome blagu što je u polju: po konjima, magaradi, devama, krupnoj i sitnoj stoci.
4 And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children’s of Israel.
Razlikovat će Jahve stoku Izraelaca od stoke Egipćana, tako da ništa što pripada Izraelcima neće stradati.'”
5 And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
Jahve je odredio i vrijeme, rekavši: “Sutra će Jahve izvesti ovo u zemlji.”
6 And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
Sutradan Jahve tako i učini. Sva stoka Egipćana ugine, a od stoke Izraelaca nije uginulo ni jedno grlo.
7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Faraon je istraživao i uvjerio se da od izraelske stoke nije uginulo ni jedno grlo. Ali je srce faraonovo ipak otvrdlo i nije pustio naroda.
8 And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
Reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu: “Zagrabite pune pregršti pepela iz peći, pa neka ga Mojsije pred faraonovim očima baci prema nebu.
9 And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains on man, and on beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Od toga će nastati sitna prašina po svoj zemlji egipatskoj, i na ljudima će i na životinjama izazivati otekline i stvarati čireve s kraja na kraj Egipta.”
10 And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains on man, and on beast.
Tako oni uzeše pepela iz peći i dođoše pred faraona. Onda Mojsije rasu pepeo prema nebu, a otekline s čirevima prekriše ljude i životinje.
11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was on the magicians, and on all the Egyptians.
Ni čarobnjaci se nisu mogli pojaviti pred Mojsijem, jer su i čarobnjaci, kao i ostali Egipćani, bili prekriveni čirevima.
12 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he listened not to them; as the LORD had spoken to Moses.
Ali je Jahve otvrdnuo srce faraonu, pa on ne posluša Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve Mojsiju i rekao.
13 And the LORD said to Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Podrani ujutro, iziđi pred faraona i reci mu: 'Ovako poručuje Jahve, Bog Hebreja: Pusti narod da ode i da mi štovanje iskaže.
14 For I will at this time send all my plagues on your heart, and on your servants, and on your people; that you may know that there is none like me in all the earth.
Ako ih ne pustiš, sva zla svoja navalit ću ovaj put na te, na tvoje službenike i tvoj puk, tako da spoznaš da nema nikoga na svoj zemlji kao što sam ja.
15 For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite you and your people with pestilence; and you shall be cut off from the earth.
Da sam ruku svoju spustio i udario tebe i tvoj puk pomorom, nestalo bi te sa zemlje.
16 And in very deed for this cause have I raised you up, for to show in you my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Poštedio sam te da ti pokažem svoju moć i da se hvali moje ime po svoj zemlji.
17 As yet exalt you yourself against my people, that you will not let them go?
Ali se ti previše uzdižeš nad mojim narodom i priječiš mu da ode.
18 Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as has not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
Sutra u ovo doba pustit ću tuču tako strašnu kakve u Egiptu još nije bilo otkad je postao do sada.
19 Send therefore now, and gather your cattle, and all that you have in the field; for on every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down on them, and they shall die.
Zato naredi da pod krov utjeraju tvoje blago i sve što je vani, na otvorenu. Sve što se nađe u polju, bilo čovjek bilo živinče, ne bude li uvedeno unutra, poginut će kad tuča zaspe po njima.'”
20 He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
Faraonovi službenici, koji su se pobojali Jahvina govora, utjeraju svoje sluge i svoje blago unutra.
21 And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Oni koji nisu marili za Jahvinu prijetnju ostave vani i svoje sluge i stoku.
22 And the LORD said to Moses, Stretch forth your hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, on man, and on beast, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
Onda rekne Jahve Mojsiju: “Pruži ruku prema nebu da udari tuča po svoj zemlji egipatskoj: po ljudima, životinjama i svemu bilju u zemlji egipatskoj.”
23 And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along on the ground; and the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt.
Mojsije diže svoj štap prema nebu. Jahve zagrmje i pusti tuču i munje sastavi sa zemljom. Sipao je Jahve tuču po zemlji Egipćana.
24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Tuča je mlatila, kroz nju munje parale. Strahota se takva nije oborila na zemlju egipatsku otkako su ljudi u njoj.
25 And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and broke every tree of the field.
Tuča pobi po svem Egiptu sve što je ostalo vani, ljude i životinje; uništi sve bilje po poljima i sva stabla poljska polomi.
26 Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
Samo u gošenskom kraju, gdje su živjeli Izraelci, nije bilo tuče.
27 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
Faraon posla po Mojsija i Arona pa im reče: “Ovaj put priznajem da sam kriv. Jahve ima pravo, a ja i moj narod krivo.
28 Entreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunder and hail; and I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.
Molite Jahvu da ustavi gromove i tuču, a ja ću vas pustiti da idete. Nećete više dugo ostati.”
29 And Moses said to him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands to the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that you may know how that the earth is the LORD’s.
“Kad iziđem iz grada”, reče mu Mojsije, “dići ću ruke prema Jahvi, pa će gromovi prestati, a ni tuče više neće biti, tako da znaš da zemlja pripada Jahvi.
30 But as for you and your servants, I know that you will not yet fear the LORD God.
Ali ni ti ni tvoji dvorani, znam ja, još se ne bojite Boga Jahve.”
31 And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was in bloom.
I tako propade lan i ječam: jer ječam bijaše u klasu, a lan u cvatu.
32 But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
Pšenica i raž nisu nastradali jer su ozima žita.
33 And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands to the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
Otišavši od faraona, Mojsije iziđe iz grada i podigne ruke prema Jahvi. Prestane grmljavina i tuča, a ni kiša više nije padala na zemlju.
34 And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Kad je faraon vidio da je prestala grmljavina, tuča i kiša, opet padne u grijeh: i on i njegovi službenici opet otvrdnu srcem.
35 And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Otvrdnu srce faraonu i ne pusti on Izraelce, kako je Jahve i prorekao preko Mojsija.
