Exodus, 2

1. After these things, a man from the house of Levi went out, and he took a wife from his own stock.

1. Neki èovjek od Levijeva koljena ode i oženi se djevojkom Levijkom.

2. And she conceived and bore a son. And seeing him to be handsome, she hid him for three months.

2. Žena zaèe i rodi sina. Vidjevši kako je krasan, krila ga je tri mjeseca.

3. And when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a small basket woven of bulrushes, and she smeared it with pitch as well as tar. And she placed the little infant inside, and she laid him in the sedges by the bank of the river.

3. Kad ga nije mogla više sakrivati, nabavi košaricu od papirusove trstike, oblijepi je smolom i paklinom, u nju stavi dijete i položi ga u trstiku na obali Rijeke.

4. His sister was standing at a distance and was wondering what would happen.

4. Njegova sestra stane podalje da vidi što æe s njime biti.

5. Then, behold, the daughter of Pharaoh descended to wash in the river. And her maids walked along the edge of the cove. And when she had seen the small basket among the papyruses, she sent one of her servants for it. And when it was brought,

5. Faraonova kæi siðe k Rijeci da se kupa, dok su njezine sluškinje šetale uz obalu Rijeke. Opazi ona košaricu u trstici, pa pošalje sluškinju da je donese.

6. she opened it; and realizing that within it was a little one crying, she took pity on him, and she said: “This is one of the infants of the Hebrews.”

6. Otvori je i pogleda, a to u njoj dijete! Muško èedo. Plakalo je. Njoj se sažali na nj. "Bit æe to hebrejsko dijete", reèe.

7. And the sister of the boy said to her: “If you wish, I will go and call to you a Hebrew woman, who will be able nurse the infant.”

7. Onda njegova sestra rekne faraonovoj kæeri: "Hoæeš li da ti potražim dojilju meðu Hebrejkama da ti dijete doji?"

8. She responded, “Go.” The maid went directly and called her mother.

8. "Idi!" - odgovori joj faraonova kæi. Tako djevojka ode i pozove djetetovu majku.

9. And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her: “Take this boy and nurse him for me. I will give you your wages.” The woman took and nursed the boy. And when he was mature, she delivered him to the daughter of Pharaoh.

9. "Uzmi ovo dijete", rekne joj faraonova kæi, "i odgoji mi ga, a ja æu te plaæati." Tako žena uzme dijete i othrani ga.

10. And she adopted him in place of a son, and she called his name Moses, saying, “Because I took him from the water.”

10. Kad je dijete odraslo, ona ga odvede faraonovoj kæeri, koja ga posini. Nadjene mu ime Mojsije, "jer sam ga", reèe, "iz vode izvadila".

11. In those days, after Moses had grown up, he went out to his brothers. And he saw their affliction and an Egyptian man striking a certain one of the Hebrews, his brothers.

11. Jednog dana, kad je Mojsije veæ odrastao, doðe meðu svoj narod i vidje njegove muke. Spazi tada kako neki Egipæanin tuèe jednoga Hebrejca - brata njegova.

12. And when he had looked around this way and that, and had seen no one nearby, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

12. Okrene se tamo-amo i, vidjevši da nikoga nema, ubije Egipæanina i zatrpa ga u pijesak.

13. And going out the next day, he spotted two Hebrews quarrelling violently. And he said to him who was causing the injury, “Why do you strike your neighbor?”

13. Izaðe on i sutradan te zateèe dva Hebrejca kako se tuku. "Zašto tuèeš svoga druga?" - rekne napadaèu.

14. But he responded: “Who appointed you as leader and judge over us? Do you want to kill me, just as yesterday you killed the Egyptian?” Moses was afraid, and he said, “How has this word become known?”

14. Ovaj odvrati: "Tko te postavi za starješinu i suca našega? Kaniš li ubiti i mene kako si ubio onog Egipæanina?" Mojsije se uplaši pa æe u sebi: "Tako! Ipak se saznalo."

15. And Pharaoh heard this talk, and he sought to kill Moses. But fleeing from his sight, he stayed in the land of Midian, and he sat down next to a well.

15. Kad je faraon to doèuo, htjede Mojsija pogubiti. Zato Mojsije pobjegne od faraona i skloni se u midjansku zemlju. Ondje sjedne kraj nekog studenca.

16. Now there was a priest of Midian with seven daughters, who came to draw water. And having filled the troughs, they desired to water their father’s flocks.

16. Midjanski je sveæenik imao sedam kæeri. Doðu one da zahvate vode i naliju pojila, da napoje stado svoga oca.

17. The shepherds overcame them and drove them away. And Moses rose up, and defending the girls, he watered their sheep.

17. Ali doðu i pastiri te ih potjeraju. Mojsije ustane, obrani ih i stado im napoji.

18. And when they had returned to their father, Reuel, he said to them, “Why have you arrived sooner than usual?”

18. Kad su se vratile svome ocu Reuelu, on ih zapita: "Kako ste se danas tako brzo vratile?"

19. They responded: “A man of Egypt freed us from the hands of the shepherds. Moreover, he also drew water with us and gave the sheep to drink.”

19. One odgovore: "Neki Egipæanin obrani nas od pastira i još nam zahvati vode i stado nam napoji."

20. But he said: “Where is he? Why have you dismissed the man? Call him, so that he may eat bread.”

20. "Gdje je?" - zapita on svoje kæeri. "Zašto ste ostavile toga èovjeka? Pozovite ga na objed."

21. Therefore, Moses swore that he would live with him. And he accepted his daughter Zipporah as a wife.

21. Mojsije pristane da ostane kod toga èovjeka. On oženi Mojsija svojom kæeri Siporom.

22. And she bore a son to him, whom he called Gershom, saying, “I have been a newcomer in a foreign land.” In truth, she bore another, whom he called Eliezer, saying, “For the God of my father, my helper, has rescued me from the hand of Pharaoh.”

22. A kad ona rodi sina, on mu nadjene ime Geršon, "jer sam", reèe, "stranac u tuðoj zemlji".

23. In truth, after a long time, the king of Egypt was dead. And the sons of Israel, groaning, cried out because of the works. And their cry ascended to God from the works.

23. Poslije mnogo vremena umre egipatski kralj. Izraelci su još stenjali u ropstvu. Vapili su, a njihov vapaj za pomoæ sred ropstva uzlazio je k Bogu.

24. And he heard their groaning, and he also remembered the covenant which he formed with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

24. Bog je èuo njihovo zapomaganje i sjetio se svoga Saveza s Abrahamom, Izakom i Jakovom.

25. And the Lord looked with favor on the sons of Israel, and he knew them.

25. I pogleda Bog na Izraelce i zauze se za njih.
