Hrvatska Biblija	Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
¹ A grešnike je sasvim pritisnuo gnjev nemilostiv, jer je Gospodin znao što će oni:	¹ But the ungodly were assailed to the end by pitiless anger, for God knew in advance even their future actions,
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 permitted thy people to depart and hastily sent them forth, they would change their minds 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 busy at mourning, and were lamenting at the graves of their dead, they reached another foolish decision, and pursued as fugitives those whom they had begged and compelled to depart.
⁴ A zaslužena ih je sudbina nagnala da zaborave prošle jade i da svojim mukama dodaju još jednu:	⁴ For the fate they deserved drew them on to this end, and made them forget what had happened, in order that they might fill up the punishment which their torments still lacked,
⁵ dok će narod tvoj prijeći put čudesan, oni će naći smrt nečuvenu.	⁵ and that thy people might experience an incredible journey, but they themselves might meet a strange death.
⁶ Da se sačuvaju djeca tvoja neozlijeđena, sve stvoreno preinači opet narav svoju služeći tvojim zapovijedima.	⁶ For the whole creation in its nature was fashioned anew, complying with thy commands, that thy children might be kept 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 was seen overshadowing the camp, and dry land emerging where water had stood before, an unhindered way out of the Red Sea, and a grassy plain out of the raging waves,
⁸ Preko njega prijeđe narod sav, štićen tvojom desnicom, zadivljen silnim čudesima.	⁸ where those protected by thy hand passed through as one nation, after gazing on marvelous wonders.
⁹ Bijahu kao konji kada pasu, i kao jaganjci skakahu slaveći tebe, Gospode, izbavitelja svoga.	⁹ For they ranged like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who didst deliver them.
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 still recalled the events of their sojourn, how instead of producing animals the earth brought forth gnats, and instead of fish the river spewed out vast numbers of frogs.
¹¹ Poslije vidješe i nov nastanak ptica, kada su, potaknuti žudnjom, zatražili jela raskošna:	¹¹ Afterward they saw also a new kind of birds, when desire led them to ask for luxurious food;
¹² izašle iz mora prepelice da im želji udovolje.	¹² for, to give them relief, quails came up 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 The punishments did not come upon the sinners without prior signs in the violence of thunder, for they justly suffered because of their wicked acts; for they practiced a more bitter hatred of strangers.
¹⁴ Jer dok oni odbijahu neznance, ovi goste i dobrotvore pretvoriše u robove.	¹⁴ Others had refused to receive strangers when they came to them, but these made slaves of guests who were their benefactors.
¹⁵ Oni se prema strancima poniješe odmah neprijateljski, i plaća ih čeka za to.	¹⁵ And not only so, but punishment of some sort will come upon the former for their hostile reception of the aliens;
¹⁶ Ovi, naprotiv, primiše svečano Izraelce, a onda ih, već ravne sebi, udariše teškom tlakom.	¹⁶ but the latter, after receiving them with festal celebrations, afflicted with terrible sufferings those who had already shared 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 They were stricken also with loss of sight-- just as were those at the door of the righteous man-- when, surrounded by yawning darkness, each tried to find the way through his own door.
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 changed places with one another, as on a harp the notes vary the nature of the rhythm, while each note remains the same. This may be clearly inferred from the sight of what took place.
¹⁹ Jer se kopnene životinje u vodene mijenjahu, a one što plivaju, na kopno prelažahu.	¹⁹ For land animals were transformed into water creatures, and creatures that swim moved over to the land.
²⁰ Oganj je u vodi silu svoju pojačao, a voda zaboravila snagu što gasi.	²⁰ Fire even in water retained its normal power, and water forgot its fire-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, on the contrary, failed to consume the flesh of perishable creatures that walked among them, nor did they melt the crystalline, easily melted kind of heavenly 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 in everything, O Lord, thou hast exalted and glorified thy people; and thou hast not neglected to help them at all times and in all places.
