Exodus 10

Reče Jahve Mojsiju: "Idi k faraonu. Učinio sam da njemu i njegovim službenicima otvrdne srce da izvedem svoja znamenja među njima;

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:

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."

And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.

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.

And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.

Jer ako ne pustiš moga naroda, sutra ću navesti skakavce na tvoju zemlju.

Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:

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.

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 remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:

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.

And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.

"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?"

And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

Dovedu Mojsija i Arona natrag k faraonu, a on im reče: "Idite! Iskažite štovanje Jahvi, svome Bogu! A tko će sve ići?"

And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?

"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."

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 unto the LORD.

"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.

And he said unto 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.

Nećemo tako! Nego muškarci neka odu i štovanje iskažu Jahvi. To ste i tražili." I otjeraju ih od faraona.

Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

Tada reče Jahve Mojsiju: "Pruži ruku povrh zemlje egipatske da navale skakavci na egipatsku zemlju i pojedu sve bilje što još ostade nakon tuče!"

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.

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.

And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

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.

And the locusts 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.

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.

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.

Brže-bolje dozva faraon Mojsija i Arona pa im reče: "Sagriješio sam protiv Jahve, vašega Boga, i vas!

Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.

Oprostite mi uvredu još samo ovaj put i molite Jahvu, Boga svoga, da samo otkloni od mene ovaj smrtonosni bič!"

Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.

Kad je Mojsije otišao od faraona, zazva Jahvu

And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.

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.

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.

Ali je Jahve otvrdnuo srce faraonu i ne pusti on Izraelaca.

But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.

"Pruži ruku prema nebu", rekne Jahve Mojsiju, "pa neka se tmina spusti na egipatsku zemlju, tmina koja će se moći opipati."

And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.

Mojsije pruži ruku prema nebu i spusti se gusta tmina na svu zemlju egipatsku: tri je dana trajala.

And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:

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.

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.

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!"

And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.

"Ti nas sam moraš opskrbiti prinosima i žrtvama paljenicama koje ćemo prinijeti Jahvi, Bogu svojemu", odgovori Mojsije.

And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.

"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."

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.

Jahve otvrdne faraonu srce i on ne pristane da odu.

But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.

"Odlazi!" - vikne faraon na Mojsija. "I da mi više na oči ne dolaziš! Onoga dana kad mi se opet pojaviš na oči, zaglavit ćeš!"

And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.

"Dobro si kazao!" - uzvrati Mojsije. "Lica tvoga više neću vidjeti!"

And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
