¹ A grešnike je sasvim pritisnuo gnjev nemilostiv, jer je Gospodin znao što će oni:	¹ But the wicked, merciless wrath assailed until the end. For he knew beforehand what they were yet to do:
² najprije će dopustiti Izraelcima da odu i brzo ih ispratiti, a zatim će se predomisliti i poći za njima u potjeru.	² That though they themselves had agreed to the departure and had anxiously sent them on their way, they would regret it and pursue them.
³ Još im teška žalost bijaše na srcu dok naricahu nad grobovima svojih mrtvaca, kad im pade na um nova luda misao te stadoše kao bjegunce progoniti one koje su prije molili da odu.	³ For while they were still engaged in funeral rites and were mourning at the burials of the dead, They adopted another senseless plan; and those whom they had sent away with entreaty, they pursued as fugitives.
⁴ A zaslužena ih je sudbina nagnala da zaborave prošle jade i da svojim mukama dodaju još jednu:	⁴ For a compulsion suited to this ending drew them on, and made them forgetful of what had befallen them, That they might fill out the torments of their punishment,
⁵ dok će narod tvoj prijeći put čudesan, oni će naći smrt nečuvenu.	⁵ and your people might experience a glorious journey while those others met an extraordinary death.
⁶ Da se sačuvaju djeca tvoja neozlijeđena, sve stvoreno preinači opet narav svoju služeći tvojim zapovijedima.	⁶ For all creation, in its several kinds, was being made over anew, serving its natural laws, that your children might be preserved unharmed.
⁷ Oblak se pojavi i sjenom zakri tabor, a kopno izroni gdje prije bijaše voda; put slobodan nasta od Crvenoga mora i polje travnato od strašnih valova.	⁷ The cloud overshadowed their camp; and out of what had before been water, dry land was seen emerging: Out of the Red Sea an unimpeded road, and a grassy plain out of the mighty flood.
⁸ Preko njega prijeđe narod sav, štićen tvojom desnicom, zadivljen silnim čudesima.	⁸ Over this crossed the whole nation sheltered by your hand, after they beheld stupendous wonders.
⁹ Bijahu kao konji kada pasu, i kao jaganjci skakahu slaveći tebe, Gospode, izbavitelja svoga.	⁹ For they ranged about like horses, and bounded about like lambs, praising you, O LORD! their deliverer.
¹⁰ Izraelcima Još se sjećahu događaja u tuđini, kako je mjesto životinja zemlja komarce rađala i kako je mjesto riba rijeka izbacila mnoštvo žaba.	¹⁰ For they were still mindful of what had happened in their sojourn: how instead of the young of animals the land brought forth gnats, and instead of fishes the river swarmed with countless frogs.
¹¹ Poslije vidješe i nov nastanak ptica, kada su, potaknuti žudnjom, zatražili jela raskošna:	¹¹ And later they saw also a new kind of bird when, prompted by desire, they asked for pleasant foods;
¹² izašle iz mora prepelice da im želji udovolje.	¹² For to appease them quail came to them from the sea.
¹³ Sodome A grešnike stigla kazna, prethodili joj snažni gromovi. Stigla ih pravedna plaća za zla djela, jer su divljom mržnjom mrzili tuđince.	¹³ And the punishments came upon the sinners only after forewarnings from the violence of the thunderbolts. For they justly suffered for their own misdeeds, since indeed they treated their guests with the more grievous hatred.
¹⁴ Jer dok oni odbijahu neznance, ovi goste i dobrotvore pretvoriše u robove.	¹⁴ For those others did not receive unfamiliar visitors, but these were enslaving beneficent guests.
¹⁵ Oni se prema strancima poniješe odmah neprijateljski, i plaća ih čeka za to.	¹⁵ And not that only; but what punishment was to be theirs since they received strangers unwillingly!
¹⁶ Ovi, naprotiv, primiše svečano Izraelce, a onda ih, već ravne sebi, udariše teškom tlakom.	¹⁶ Yet these, after welcoming them with festivities, oppressed with awful toils those who now shared with them the same rights.
¹⁷ I njih udari sljepoća kao i one pred vratima pravednikovim; opkoli ih tama duboka, i svaki je tražio svoja vrata.	¹⁷ And they were struck with blindness, as those others had been at the portals of the just- When, surrounded by yawning darkness, each sought the entrance of his own gate.
¹⁸ Tako se počéla međusobno izmjenjuju, kao što se skladno izmjenjuju glasovi na harfi, ostajući uvijek kod zvuka svojeg; a to se može jasno razabrati kad se razmotre događaji.	¹⁸ For the elements, in variable harmony among themselves, like strings of the harp, produce new melody, while the flow of music steadily persists. And this can be perceived exactly from a review of what took place.
¹⁹ Jer se kopnene životinje u vodene mijenjahu, a one što plivaju, na kopno prelažahu.	¹⁹ For land creatures were changed into water creatures, and those that swam went over on to the land.
²⁰ Oganj je u vodi silu svoju pojačao, a voda zaboravila snagu što gasi.	²⁰ Fire in water maintained its own strength, and water forgot its quenching nature;
²¹ Plamenovi ognjeni nisu pržili meso životinja propadljivih kada su posred njih hodile niti se u njima topila hrana nebeska, laka i topljiva poput inja.	²¹ Flames, by contrast, neither consumed the flesh of the perishable animals that went about in them, nor melted the icelike, quick-melting kind of ambrosial food.
²² U svemu si, Gospode, uzvisio i proslavio narod svoj i nisi ga prezreo, već si mu bio na pomoći svagda i svagdje.	²² For every way, O LORD! you magnified and glorified your people; unfailing, you stood by them in every time and circumstance.
