< Exodus 14 >

1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu, rekoč:
2 Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, —before Baal-zephon, over against it, shall ye encamp, by the sea.
»Govori Izraelovim otrokom, da se obrnejo in se utaborijo pred Pi Hahirótom, med Migdólom in morjem, nasproti Báal Cefónu. Pred njim se boste utaborili ob morju.
3 Then will Pharaoh say, of the sons of Israel, Entangled, they are in the land, —the desert hath closed in upon them.
Kajti faraon bo o Izraelovih otrocih rekel: ›Zapletli so se v deželi, divjina jih je zaprla noter.‹
4 So will I let the heart of Pharaoh wax bold, and he will pursue them, that I may get me honour over Pharaoh, and over all his forces, and the Egyptians shall know, that I, am Yahweh. And they did so.
Jaz pa bom zakrknil faraonovo srce, da bo sledil za njimi in počaščen bom na faraonu in na vsej njegovi vojski, da bodo Egipčani lahko spoznali, da jaz sem Gospod.« In tako so storili.
5 And it was told the king of Egypt, that the people had fled, —and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said—What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
Egiptovskemu kralju je bilo povedano, da je ljudstvo zbežalo. In srce faraona in njegovih služabnikov je bilo obrnjeno zoper ljudstvo in rekli so: »Zakaj smo storili to, da smo pustili Izraela oditi od služenja nam?«
6 So he yoked his chariot, —and his people, took he with him.
In pripravil je svoj bojni voz in s seboj vzel svoje ljudstvo.
7 And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, —with warriors in every one.
Vzel je šeststo izbranih bojnih voz in vse egiptovske bojne vozove in častnike nad vsakim izmed njih.
8 And Yahweh let the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt wax bold, and he pursued the sons of Israel, —when the sons of Israel, were going out with a high hand.
Gospod je zakrknil srce faraonu, egiptovskemu kralju in ta je zasledoval Izraelove otroke. Izraelovi otroci pa so izšli z vzdignjeno roko.
9 So the Egyptians pursued them and overtook them, encamping by the sea—all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his forces, —by Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.
Toda Egipčani so jih zasledovali, vsi faraonovi konji in bojni vozovi in njegovi konjeniki in njegova vojska in jih dohiteli ob morju, utaborjene poleg Pi Hahiróta, pred Báal Cefónom.
10 Now when, Pharaoh, had drawn near, the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and lo! the Egyptians, moving along after them and they feared greatly, and the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh.
Ko se je faraon približal, so Izraelovi otroci povzdignili svoje oči in glej, Egipčani so korakali za njimi in bili so boleče prestrašeni in Izraelovi otroci so zavpili h Gospodu.
11 Then said they unto Moses, Was it because there were no graves in Egypt, that thou didst fetch us to die in the desert? What is this thou hast done to us, bringing us forth out of Egypt?
Mojzesu so rekli: »Ali si nas odpeljal proč, da umremo v divjini, ker ni bilo grobov v Egiptu? Zakaj si tako ravnal z nami, da si nas odvedel iz Egipta?
12 Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians, —for it is better for us, to serve the Egyptians, than to die in the desert?
Mar ni to beseda, ki smo ti jo povedali v Egiptu, rekoč: ›Pusti nas pri miru, da lahko služimo Egipčanom?‹ Kajti za nas bi bilo bolje, da služimo Egipčanom, kakor pa, da bi umrli v divjini.«
13 And Moses said unto the people—Do not fear, stand still and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you to-day, —for as for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to-day, ye shall not again see them any more to times age-abiding.
Mojzes je ljudstvu rekel: »Ne bojte se, mirno stojte in glejte Gospodovo rešitev duš, ki vam jo bo danes pokazal, kajti Egipčane, ki ste jih videli danes, jih na veke ne boste več videli.
14 Yahweh, will fight for you, —and, ye, shall forbear.
Gospod se bo boril za vas in vi boste ohranili svoj mir.«
15 And Yahweh said unto Moses, What outcry wouldst thou make unto me? Speak unto the sons of Israel, that they go forward;
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Zakaj vpiješ k meni? Govori Izraelovim otrokom, da gredo naprej.
16 and, thou, lift high thy staff and stretch forth thy hand over the sea and cleave it asunder, —that the sons of Israel may enter into the midst of the sea on dry ground;
Toda ti vzdigni svojo palico in iztegni svojo roko nad morje in ga razdeli in Izraelovi otroci bodo šli po suhih tleh skozi sredo morja.
17 and, I, behold me letting the heart of the Egyptians wax bold, that they may enter after them, —that I may get me honour over Pharaoh and over his forces, over his chariots, and over his horsemen,
Glej, zakrknil bom srca Egipčanom in oni jim bodo sledili in jaz si bom pridobil čast nad faraonom in nad vso njegovo vojsko, nad njegovimi bojnimi vozovi in nad njegovimi konjeniki.
18 And the Egyptians shall know, that, I, am Yahweh, —when I have gotten me honour over Pharaoh, over his chariots and over his horsemen.
Egipčani bodo vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, ko sem si pridobil čast nad faraonom, nad njegovimi bojnimi vozovi in nad njegovimi konjeniki.«
19 And the messenger of God who was going on before the camp of Israel removed, and came on behind them, —and the pillar of cloud removed from before them, and stood behind them;
Božji angel, ki je šel pred Izraelovim taborom, se je odstranil in odšel za njimi, in oblačni steber je odšel izpred njihovih obrazov in stal za njimi.
20 so it came in between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, so it became a cloud and darkness, and yet lighted up the night, —so that the one came not near unto the other, all the night.
Prišel je med tabor Egipčanov in tabor Izraela. Njim je bil oblak in tema, toda le-tem je dajal svetlobo ponoči, tako da vso noč eni niso prišli blizu k drugim.
21 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and Yahweh carried away the sea by a mighty east wind all the night, and turned the sea into dry land, —and the waters were cloven asunder.
Mojzes je svojo roko iztegnil nad morje in Gospod je storil, da je morje vso tisto noč šlo nazaj z močnim vzhodnikom in naredilo morje kopno zemljo in vode so bile razdeljene.
22 Then went the sons of Israel into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, —and, the waters, to them, were a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
In Izraelovi otroci so šli v sredo morja po suhih tleh in vode so jim bile zid na njihovi desnici in na njihovi levici.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and entered after them—all the horses of Pharaoh his chariots and his horsemen, —into the midst of the sea.
Egipčani pa so jih zasledovali in šli noter za njimi v sredo morja, celo vsi faraonovi konji, njegovi bojni vozovi in njegovi konjeniki.
24 And it came to pass in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked down into the camp of the Egyptians, through the pillar of fire and cloud, and confused the camp of the Egyptians;
Pripetilo se je, da je ob jutranji straži Gospod skozi ognjen in oblačen steber pogledal na vojsko Egipčanov in prizadel vojsko Egipčanov.
25 and he took off the wheels of their chariots, and made them drive heavily, —so that the Egyptians said—We must flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh, is fighting for them against the Egyptians.
Snemal je kolesa njihovim bojnim vozovom, da so jih težko vozili. Tako da so Egipčani rekli: »Zbežimo pred obličjem Izraela, kajti Gospod se bori zanje zoper Egipčane.«
26 Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Stretch forth thy hand over the sea, —that the waters may return upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Svojo roko iztegni nad morje, da lahko vode ponovno pridejo nad Egipčane, nad njihove bojne vozove in nad njihove konjenike.«
27 So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea and the sea returned, towards morning, to its steady flow, when the Egyptians, were fleeing to meet it, —thus Yahweh shook off the Egyptians into the midst of the sea;
Mojzes je svojo roko iztegnil nad morje in ko se je prikazalo jutro, se je morje vrnilo k svoji moči in Egipčani so bežali proti le-temu; in Gospod je Egipčane porazil v sredi morja.
28 thus the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, even all the forces of Pharaoh that were entering after them into the sea, —there was not left remaining among them so much as one.
Vode so se vrnile in pokrile bojne vozove, konjenike in vso faraonovo vojsko, ki je za njimi prišla v morje. Tam ni ostal niti eden izmed njih.
29 But the sons of Israel, had gone their way on dry ground in the saidst of the sea, —and the waters had been to them a wall, on their right hand and on their left.
Toda Izraelovi otroci so hodili po suhi zemlji v sredi morja. Vode so jim bile zid na njihovi desnici in na njihovi levici.
30 Thus did Yahweh, on that day, save Israel, out of the hand of the Egyptians, —and Israel saw the Egyptians, dead on the shore of the sea.
Tako je Gospod tega dne rešil Izraela iz roke Egipčanov, in Izrael je videl Egipčane mrtve na morski obali.
31 And when Israel saw the mighty hand wherewith Yahweh had wrought against the Egyptians, then did the people revere Yahweh, —and they put their trust in Yahweh, and in Moses, his servant.
Izrael je videl to veliko delo, ki ga je Gospod storil na Egipčanih, in ljudstvo se je balo Gospoda in verjelo Gospodu in njegovemu služabniku Mojzesu.
