Exodus 3

NEW JERUSALEM	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Moses was looking after the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led it to the far sideof the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.	1 Mojsije pasao ovce svoga tasta Jitra, midjanskoga svećenika. Goneći tako stado po pustari, dođe do Horeba, brda Božjega.
2 The angel of Yahweh appeared to him in a flame blazing from the middle of a bush. Moses looked;there was the bush blazing, but the bush was not being burnt up.	2 Anđeo mu se Jahvin ukaže u rasplamtjeloj vatri iz jednog grma. On se zagleda: grm sav u plamenu, a ipak ne izgara.
3 Moses said, 'I must go across and see this strange sight, and why the bush is not being burnt up.'	3 »Hajde da priđem«, reče Mojsije, »i promotrim ovaj čudni prizor: zašto grm ne sagorijeva.«
4 When Yahweh saw him going across to look, God cal ed to him from the middle of the bush. 'Moses,Moses!' he said. 'Here I am,' he answered.	4 Kad je Jahve vidio kako prilazi da razmotri, iz grma ga Bog zovne: »Mojsije! Mojsije!« »Evo me!« – javi se.
5 'Come no nearer,' he said. 'Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.	5 »Ne prilazi ovamo!« – reče. »Izuj obuću s nogu! Jer mjesto na kojem stojiš sveto je tlo.
6 I am the God of your ancestors,' he said, 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.'At this Moses covered his face, for he was afraid to look at God.	6 Ja sam«, nastavi, »Bog tvoga oca; Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov, Bog Jakovljev.« Mojsije zakloni lice: bojao se u Boga gledati.
7 Yahweh then said, 'I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying forhelp on account of their taskmasters. Yes, I am well aware of their sufferings.	7 »Vidio sam jade svoga naroda u Egiptu«, nastavi Jahve, »i čuo mu tužbu na tlačitelje njegove. Znane su mi muke njegove.
8 And I have come down to rescue them from the clutches of the Egyptians and bring them up out of thatcountry, to a country rich and broad, to a country flowing with milk and honey, to the home of the Canaanites, theHittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites.	8 Zato sam sišao da ga izbavim iz šaka egipatskih i odvedem ga iz te zemlje u dobru i prostranu zemlju – u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko: u postojbinu Kanaanaca, Hetita, Amorejaca, Perižana, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca.
9 Yes indeed, the Israelites' cry for help has reached me, and I have also seen the cruel way in which theEgyptians are oppressing them.	9 Vapaji sinova Izraelovih dopriješe do mene. I sam vidjeh kako ih Egipćani tlače.
10 So now I am sending you to Pharaoh, for you to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.'	10 Zato, hajde! Ja te šaljem faraonu da izbaviš narod moj, Izraelce, iz Egipta.«
11 Moses said to God, 'Who am I to go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?'	11 »Tko sam ja da se uputim faraonu«, odgovori Mojsije Bogu, »i izvedem Izraelce iz Egipta!«
12 'I shal be with you,' God said, 'and this is the sign by which you wil know that I was the one who sentyou. After you have led the people out of Egypt, you wil worship God on this mountain.'	12 »Ja ću biti s tobom«, nastavi. »I ovo će ti biti znak da sam te ja poslao: kad izvedeš narod iz Egipta, Bogu ćete iskazati štovanje na ovome brdu.«
13 Moses then said to God, 'Look, if I go to the Israelites and say to them, "The God of your ancestorshas sent me to you," and they say to me, "What is his name?" what am I to tell them?'	13 Nato Mojsije reče Bogu: »Ako dođem k Izraelcima pa im kažem: ‘Bog otaca vaših poslao me k vama’, i oni me zapitaju: ‘Kako mu je ime?’ – što ću im odgovoriti?«
14 God said to Moses, 'I am he who is.' And he said, 'This is what you are to say to the Israelites, "I amhas sent me to you." '	14 »Ja sam koji jesam«, reče Bog Mojsiju. Onda nastavi: »Ovako kaži Izraelcima: ‘Ja jesam’ posla me k vama.«
15 God further said to Moses, 'You are to tel the Israelites, "Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the Godof Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you." This is my name for al time, and thusI am to be invoked for al generations to come.	15 Dalje je Bog Mojsiju rekao: »Kaži Izraelcima ovako: ‘Jahve, Bog vaših otaca, Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov i Bog Jakovljev, poslao me k vama.’ To mi je ime dovijeka, tako će me zvati od koljena do koljena.«
16 'Go, gather the elders of Israel together and tel them, "Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, hasappeared to me -- the God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob -- and has indeed visited you and seen what isbeing done to you in Egypt,	16 »Idi, skupi starješine Izraelaca pa im kaži: ‘Jahve, Bog otaca – Bog Abrahamov, Izakov i Jakovljev – objavio mi se i rekao mi: Pohodio sam vas i razabrao što vam se čini u Egiptu.
17 and has said: I shall bring you out of the misery of Egypt to the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites,the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a country flowing with milk and honey."	17 Odlučio sam vas izvesti iz egipatske bijede u zemlju Kanaanaca, Hetita, Amorejaca, Perižana, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca – u zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko!’
18 They wil listen to your words, and you and the elders of Israel are to go to the king of Egypt and say tohim, "Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has encountered us. So now please al ow us to make a three-days'journey into the desert and sacrifice to Yahweh our God."	18 Oni će te poslušati. Onda pođi sa starješinama Izraelaca k egipatskom kralju i reci mu: ‘Objavio nam se Jahve, Bog Hebreja. Pusti nas da odemo tri dana hoda u pustinju, da ondje prinesemo žrtvu Jahvi, Bogu svojemu.’
19 I am well aware that the king of Egypt wil not let you go unless he is compel ed by a mighty hand;	19 Znam ja da vas egipatski kralj neće pustiti ako ne bude natjeran teškom šakom.
20 he wil not let you go until I have stretched out my arm and struck Egypt with al the wonders I intend towork there.	20 Zato ću ja pružiti svoju šaku i pritisnuti Egipat svakovrsnim čudesima što ću ih u njemu izvesti. Poslije će vas pustiti.
21 'I shal ensure that the Egyptians are so much impressed with this people that when you go, you willnot go empty-handed.	21 Dobro ću raspoložiti Egipćane prema ovome narodu, pa kad pođete, nećete poći praznih ruku.
22 Every woman wil ask her neighbour and the woman staying in her house for silver and goldenjewel ery, and clothing. In these you wil dress your own sons and daughters, despoiling the Egyptians of them.'	22 Svaka će žena zatražiti od svoje susjede i stanarke u svojoj kući nakita srebrnog i zlatnog i odjeće. To stavite na svoje sinove i kćeri. Tako ćete oplijeniti Egipćane.«
