| 1 Jahve reče Mojsiju: | 1 Then the LORD said to Moses, |
| 2 »Reci Izraelcima da se vrate i utabore pred Pi-Hahirotom, između Migdola i mora, nasuprot Baal-Sefonu. Utaborite se nasuprot ovome mjestu, uz more. | 2 "Tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamp in front of Pi-ha-hiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon; you shall encamp over against it, by the sea. |
| 3 Faraon će reći: ‘Izraelci lutaju krajem tamo-amo; pustinja ih zatvorila.’ | 3 For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, 'They are entangled in the land; the wilderness has shut them in.' |
| 4 Ja ću otvrdnuti faraonu srce, i on će za njima poći u potjeru. Ali ja ću se proslaviti nad faraonom i svom njegovom vojskom. Tako će Egipćani spoznati da sam ja Jahve.« Izraelci tako učine. | 4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host; and the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD." And they did so. |
| 5 Izraelcima Kad su egipatskom kralju kazali da je narod pobjegao, faraon i njegovi dvorani predomisliše se o narodu. »Što ovo učinismo!« – rekoše. »Pustismo Izraelce i više nam neće služiti.« | 5 When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the mind of Pharaoh and his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?" |
| 6 Zato opremi faraon svoja kola i povede svoju vojsku. | 6 So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him, |
| 7 Uze šest stotina svojih kola sve poizbor i ostala kola po Egiptu. I u svima bijahu štitonoše. | 7 and took six hundred picked chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. |
| 8 Jahve otvrdnu srce faraonu, kralju egipatskom, te on krenu u potjeru za Izraelcima, koji su otišli uzdignute pesnice. | 8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt and he pursued the people of Israel as they went forth defiantly. |
| 9 Egipćani, dakle, pođu za njima u potjeru. I dok su Izraelci taborovali uz more, blizu Pi-Hahirota nasuprot Baal-Sefonu, stignu ih svi faraonovi konji pod kolima, njegovi konjanici i njegovi ratnici. | 9 The Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them encamped at the sea, by Pi-ha-hiroth, in front of Baal-zephon. |
| 10 Kako se faraon približavao, Izraelci pogledaju i opaze da su Egipćani za njima u potjeri, pa ih obuzme velik strah. I poviču Izraelci Jahvi: | 10 When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were in great fear. And the people of Israel cried out to the LORD; |
| 11 »Zar nije bilo grobova u Egiptu«, reknu Mojsiju, »pa si nas izveo da pomremo u pustinji? Kakvu si nam uslugu učinio što si nas izveo iz Egipta! | 11 and they said to Moses, "Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us, in bringing us out of Egypt? |
| 12 Zar ti nismo rekli baš ovo u Egiptu: Pusti nas! Služit ćemo Egipćane! Bolje nam je i njih služiti nego u pustinji poginuti.« | 12 Is not this what we said to you in Egypt, 'Let us alone and let us serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness." |
| 13 »Ne bojte se!« – reče Mojsije narodu. »Stojte čvrsto pa ćete vidjeti što će vam Jahve učiniti da vas danas spasi: Egipćane koje danas vidite nikad više nećete vidjeti. | 13 And Moses said to the people, "Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. |
| 14 Jahve će se boriti za vas. Budite mirni!« | 14 The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be still." |
| 15 »Zašto zapomažete prema meni?« – reče Jahve Mojsiju. »Reci Izraelcima da krenu na put. | 15 The LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to me? Tell the people of Israel to go forward. |
| 16 A ti podigni svoj štap, ispruži svoju ruku nad morem i razdijeli ga nadvoje da Izraelci mogu proći posred mora po suhu. | 16 Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, that the people of Israel may go on dry ground through the sea. |
| 17 Ja ću otvrdnuti srce Egipćana, i oni će poći za njima, a ja ću se onda proslaviti nad faraonom i njegovim ratnicima, njegovim kolima i konjanicima. | 17 And I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they shall go in after them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his host, his chariots, and his horsemen. |
| 18 Neka znaju Egipćani da sam ja Jahve kad se proslavim nad faraonom, njegovim kolima i njegovim konjanicima.« | 18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten glory over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen." |
| 19 Anđeo Božji, koji je išao na čelu izraelskih četa, promijeni mjesto i stupi im za leđa. A i stup od oblaka pomakne se ispred njih i stade im za leđa. | 19 Then the angel of God who went before the host of Israel moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them, |
| 20 Smjesti se između vojske egipatske i vojske izraelske te postade onima oblak taman, a ovima rasvjetljivaše noć te tako ne mogoše jedni drugima prići cijele noći. | 20 coming between the host of Egypt and the host of Israel. And there was the cloud and the darkness; and the night passed without one coming near the other all night. |
| 21 Mojsije je držao ruku ispruženu nad morem dok je Jahve svu noć na stranu valjao vode jakim istočnim vjetrom i more posušio. Kad su se vode razdvojile, | 21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. |
| 22 Izraelci siđoše u more na osušeno dno, a vode stajahu kao bedem njima nadesno i nalijevo. | 22 And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. |
| 23 Egipćani: svi faraonovi konji, kola i konjanici, nagnu za njima u more, u potjeru. | 23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. |
| 24 Za jutarnje straže pogleda Jahve iz stupa od ognja i oblaka na egipatsku vojsku i u njoj stvori zbrku. | 24 And in the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down upon the host of the Egyptians, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians, |
| 25 Zakoči točkove njihovih kola da su se jedva naprijed micali. »Bježimo od Izraelaca!« – poviču Egipćani, »jer Jahve se za njih bori protiv Egipćana!« Tada će Jahve Mojsiju: | 25 clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily; and the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from before Israel; for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians." |
| 26 »Pruži ruku nad more da se vode vrate na Egipćane, na njihova kola i konjanike.« | 26 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen." |
| 27 Mojsije pruži ruku nad more i u cik zore more se vrati u svoje korito. Kako su Egipćani, bježeći, jurili prema moru, Jahve ih strmoglavi usred voda. | 27 So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its wonted flow when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled into it, and the LORD routed the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. |
| 28 Tako vode, slijevajući se natrag, potope kola, konjanike i svu vojsku faraonovu koja bijaše pošla u potjeru za Izraelcima – u more. I ne ostade od njih ni jedan jedini. | 28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen and all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea; not so much as one of them remained. |
| 29 A Izraelci išli suhim posred mora, vode im stale kao zid zdesna i slijeva. | 29 But the people of Israel walked on dry ground through the sea, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. |
| 30 Tako Jahve u onaj dan izbavi Izraela iz šaka egipatskih, i vidje Izrael pomorene Egipćane na morskome žalu. | 30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. |
| 31 Osvjedoči se Izrael i o silnoj moći koju Jahve pokaza nad Egipćanima. Narod se poboja Jahve i povjerova Jahvi i njegovu sluzi Mojsiju. | 31 And Israel saw the great work which the LORD did against the Egyptians, and the people feared the LORD; and they believed in the LORD and in his servant Moses. |
