Exodus, 7

1. And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, I have appointed you as the god of Pharaoh. And Aaron, your brother, will be your prophet.

1. Mojsiju je Jahve odgovorio: "Vidi! Faraonu æu te nametnuti kao božanstvo; tvoj brat Aron bit æe tvoj prorok.

2. You will speak to him all that I command you. And he will speak to Pharaoh, so that he may release the sons of Israel from his land.

2. Ti kazuj sve što ti nareðujem, a tvoj brat Aron neka faraonu ponovi da pusti Izraelce te odu iz njegove zemlje.

3. But I will harden his heart, and I will multiply my signs and wonders in the land of Egypt,

3. Ja æu uèiniti da otvrdne srce faraonu i umnožit æu znakove i èudesa u zemlji egipatskoj.

4. and he will not listen to you. And I will send my hand over Egypt, and I will lead my army and my people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt, through very great judgments.

4. Kako vas faraon neæe poslušati, ja æu staviti svoju ruku na Egipat: strašno kažnjavajuæi, izbavit æu svoje èete, narod svoj, Izraelce, iz egipatske zemlje.

5. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, who has extended my hand over Egypt, and who has led the sons of Israel from their midst.”

5. Kad pružim svoju ruku na Egipat i izvedem Izraelce iz njihove sredine, tada æe Egipæani spoznati da sam ja Jahve."

6. And so, Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And so it was done.

6. Mojsije i Aron poslušaše: kako im je Jahve naredio, upravo tako uèiniše.

7. Now Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.

7. Mojsiju je bilo osamdeset, a Aronu osamdeset i tri godine kad su faraonu postavili svoje zahtjeve.

8. And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:

8. Još doda Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:

9. “When Pharaoh will say to you, ‘Show signs,’ you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff, and cast it down before Pharaoh, and it will be turned into a snake.’ ”

9. "Kad faraon zatraži od vas da izvedete kakvo znamenje, ti reci Aronu da uzme svoj štap i baci ga pred faraona, a štap æe se pretvoriti u zmiju."

10. And so Moses and Aaron entered to Pharaoh, and they did just as the Lord had commanded. And Aaron took the staff in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants, and it was turned into a snake.

10. Doðu Mojsije i Aron pred faraona i uèine kako im je Jahve naredio. Aron baci pred faraona i njegove službenike svoj štap, koji se pretvori u zmiju.

11. Then Pharaoh called the wise men and the sorcerers. And they also, by Egyptian incantations and certain secrets, did similarly.

11. Zovne faraon mudrace i vraèare. I zaista, egipatski vraèari svojim vraèanjem uèine isto:

12. And each one cast down their staffs, and they were turned into serpents. But the staff of Aaron devoured their staffs.

12. svaki baci svoj štap, koji se pretvori u zmiju. Ali Aronov štap proguta njihove štapove.

13. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.

13. Faraon bijaše tvrdokorna srca: ne htjede poslušati Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.

14. Then the Lord said to Moses: “The heart of Pharaoh has been hardened; he is not willing to release the people.

14. Tada Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Faraonovo je srce okorjelo; odbija da pusti narod.

15. Go to him in the morning; behold, he will go out to the waters. And you will stand to meet him above the bank of the river. And you will take, in your hand, the staff that was turned into a serpent.

15. Ujutro poði k faraonu. Kad izaðe k vodi, stani preda nj na obali Rijeke. Uzmi u ruku štap što se bio u zmiju pretvorio.

16. And you will say to him: ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews sent me to you, saying: Release my people in order to sacrifice to me in the desert. And even until the present time, you were not willing to listen.

16. Reci mu: 'Jahve, Bog Hebreja, poslao me k tebi s porukom da pustiš moj narod da mi iskaže štovanje u pustinji. Ali sve dosad ti nisi poslušao.

17. Therefore, thus says the Lord: In this you will know that I am the Lord. Behold, I will strike, with the staff that is in my hand, the water of the river, and it will be turned into blood.

17. Ovako Jahve poruèuje: Ovim æeš spoznati da sam ja Jahve. Gledaj! Štapom koji imam u ruci mlatnut æu po vodi u Rijeci i pretvorit æe se u krv.

18. Also, the fishes that are in the river will die, and the waters will be polluted, and the Egyptians will be afflicted when they drink the water of the river.’ ”

18. Ribe æe u Rijeci pocrkati; Rijeka æe se usmrdjeti, i grstit æe se Egipæanima piti vodu iz Rijeke.'"

19. The Lord also said to Moses: “Say to Aaron: ‘Take your staff; and extend your hand over the waters of Egypt, and over their rivers and streams and marshes and all the pools of waters, so that they may be turned into blood. And let there be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, as much in vessels of wood as in those of stone.’ ”

19. Još Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Reci Aronu da uzme svoj štap i pruži svoju ruku povrh egipatskih voda: njihovih rijeka, njihovih prokopa, njihovih jezeraca, svih njihovih vodenih stjecišta, da se pretvore u krv; po svoj zemlji egipatskoj neka je krv, èak i u drvenim i kamenim posudama."

20. And Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had instructed. And lifting up the staff, he struck the water of the river in the sight of Pharaoh and his servants. And it was turned into blood.

20. Mojsije i Aron uèiniše kako im je Jahve naredio. Podiže Aron svoj štap i naoèigled faraona i njegovih službenika mlatnu po vodi u Rijeci. Sva se voda u Rijeci prometnu u krv.

21. And the fishes that were in the river died, and the river was polluted, and the Egyptians were not able to drink the water of the river, and there was blood throughout the entire land of Egypt.

21. Ribe u Rijeci pocrkaše; Rijeka se usmrdje, tako da Egipæani nisu mogli piti vodu iz Rijeke; krv bijaše po svoj zemlji egipatskoj.

22. And the sorcerers of the Egyptians, with their incantations, did similarly. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, he did not listen to them, just as the Lord had instructed.

22. Ali egipatski vraèari svojim vraèanjem uèiniše isto. Tako faraon ostade tvrdokorna srca: nije htio poslušati Mojsija i Arona, kako je Jahve i kazao.

23. And he turned himself away, and he entered his house, neither did he apply his heart to this turn of events.

23. Faraon se okrenu i ode u svoj dvor, ne uzimajuæi ni to k srcu.

24. Then all the Egyptians dug along the borders of the river for water to drink. For they were not able to drink from the water of the river.

24. Svi su Egipæani poèeli kopati oko Rijeke tražeæi pitke vode jer nisu mogli piti vode iz Rijeke.

25. And seven days were completed, after the Lord struck the river.

25. Kad je prošlo sedam dana kako je Jahve udario po Rijeci,

26.

26. opet Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Poði k faraonu i reci mu: 'Ovako govori Jahve: Pusti moj narod da ode i štovanje mi iskaže.

27.

27. Ako odbiješ da ih pustiš, svu æu ti zemlju kazniti žabama.

28.

28. Rijeka æe vrvjeti žabama. One æe iziæi i prodrijeti u tvoj dvor, u ložnicu, u tvoju postelju, u kuæe tvojih službenika i tvoga naroda, pod saèeve i naæve tvoje.

29.

29. Po tebi, po tvome narodu i svim tvojim službenicima skakat æe žabe.'"
