¹In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Idi k Faraonu; kajti zakrknil sem srce njegovo in srce hlapcev njegovih zato, da bi napravil ta znamenja svoja med njimi,

¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh, for I have declared hard his heart, and the heart of his servants, so that I set these My signs in their midst,

²in zato, da bi ti pripovedoval ušesom sinov svojih in otrok sinov svojih, kar sem izvršil v Egiptu, in o znamenjih mojih, ki sem jih naredil med njimi; da boste spoznali, da sem jaz GOSPOD.

²and so that thou recountest in the ears of thy son, and of thy son`s son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs which I have set among them, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.`

³In odideta Mojzes in Aron k Faraonu ter mu rečeta: Tako pravi GOSPOD, Bog Hebrejcev: Doklej se boš ustavljal ponižati se pred menoj? Izpusti ljudstvo moje, da mi služi!

³And Moses cometh in — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and they say unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Until when hast thou refused to be humbled at My presence? send My people away, and they serve Me,

⁴Sicer ako se boš branil odpustiti ljudstvo moje, glej, jutri pošljem kobilice v pokrajine tvoje.

⁴for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am bringing in to-morrow the locust into thy border,

⁵In pokrijejo površje zemlje, da je ne boste nič videli; in pojedle bodo ostanek, kar se je ohranilo in kar vam je preostalo po toči, in oglodale bodo vsa drevesa, ki vam rasto na polju;

⁵and it hath covered the eye of the land, and none is able to see the land, and it hath eaten the remnant of that which is escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it hath eaten every tree which is springing for you out of the field;

⁶in napolnijo hiše tvoje in hiše vseh služabnikov tvojih in hiše vseh Egipčanov, kolikor jih niso videli očetje tvoji in dedje, odkar so na zemlji do današnjega dne. In obrne se in odide od Faraona.

⁶and they have filled thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither thy fathers nor thy father`s fathers have seen, since the day of their being on the ground unto this day,` — and he turneth and goeth out from Pharaoh.

⁷Tedaj reko Faraonu hlapci njegovi: Doklej nam bode ta mož za zanko? Odpusti tiste ljudi, da služijo GOSPODU, svojemu Bogu! Ali mar še ne veš, da je Egipt pri koncu?

⁷And the servants of Pharaoh say unto him, `Until when doth this [one] become a snare to us? send the men away, and they serve Jehovah their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt hath perished?`

⁸In pokličejo nazaj Mojzesa in Arona k Faraonu, in on jima reče: Pojdite, služite GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu! Kateri pa so tisti, ki naj gredo?

⁸And Moses is brought back — Aaron also — unto Pharaoh, and he saith unto them, `Go, serve Jehovah your God; — who and who [are] those going?`

⁹In Mojzes odgovori: S svojo mladino in s svojimi starci pojdemo; s sinovi in hčerami svojimi, z drobnico in govedjo svojo odidemo; ker imamo praznik GOSPODOV.

⁹And Moses saith, `With our young ones, and with our aged ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to Jehovah.`

¹⁰In on jima reče: Bodi tako GOSPOD z vami, kakor jaz odpuščam vas in otročiče vaše! Glejte, da imate v mislih kaj hudega!

¹⁰And he saith unto them, `Be it so, Jehovah [be] with you when I send you and your infants away; see — for evil [is] before your faces;

¹¹Ne tako! Pojdite le vi možje, in služite GOSPODU; zakaj to je, kar ste želeli. In izgnali so ju izpred obličja Faraonovega.

¹¹not so! go now, ye who [are] men, and serve Jehovah, for that ye are seeking;` and [one] casteth them out from the presence of Pharaoh.

¹²Tedaj reče GOSPOD Mojzesu: Iztegni roko svojo nad deželo Egiptovsko zaradi kobilic, da pridejo nad Egiptovsko deželo in požro vsa zelišča na zemlji, vse, kar je preostalo po toči.

¹²And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goeth up against the land of Egypt, and doth eat every herb of the land — all that the hail hath left.`

¹³In Mojzes iztegne palico svojo nad deželo Egiptovsko, in GOSPOD zažene vzhodni veter v deželo ves tisti dan in vso noč; in ko se je zdanilo, prinese vzhodni veter kobilice.

¹³And Moses stretcheth out his rod against the land of Egypt, and Jehovah hath led an east wind over the land all that day, and all the night; the morning hath been, and the east wind hath lifted up the locust.

¹⁴In prišle so kobilice nad vso Egiptovsko deželo in posedle so vse kraje Egipta v silno veliki množici; nikdar poprej ni bilo takšnih kobilic, tudi pozneje ne bo takih.

¹⁴And the locust goeth up against all the land of Egypt, and resteth in all the border of Egypt — very grievous: before it there hath not been such a locust as it, and after it there is none such;

¹⁵Kajti pokrile so površje vse dežele, tako da se je stemnila dežela, in požrle so vsa zelišča na zemlji in vse sadje po drevju, kar je bilo preostalo po toči; in nič zelenega ni ostalo, ne drevja, ne zelišč na polju, po vsej deželi Egiptovski.

¹⁵and it covereth the eye of all the land, and the land is darkened; and it eateth every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail hath left, and there hath not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of the field, in all the land of Egypt.`

¹⁶Tedaj pokliče Faraon hitro Mojzesa in Arona in reče: Grešil sem zoper GOSPODA, vašega Boga, in zoper vas.

¹⁶And Pharaoh hasteth to call for Moses and for Aaron, and saith, `I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against you,

¹⁷Sedaj pa odpusti, prosim, greh moj, samo še zdaj, in prosita GOSPODA, vašega Boga, da odvrne od mene vsaj to smrt.

¹⁷and now, bear with, I pray you, my sin, only this time, and make ye supplication to Jehovah your God, that He turn aside from off me only this death.`

¹⁸In Mojzes odide od Faraona ter prosi GOSPODA.

¹⁸And he goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication unto Jehovah,

¹⁹In GOSPOD stori, da potegne zahodni veter, jako silen, ki je vzdignil kobilice in jih zagnal v Rdeče morje. Ne ene kobilice ni ostalo v vseh krajih Egipta.

¹⁹and Jehovah turneth a very strong sea wind, and it lifteth up the locust, and bloweth it into the Red Sea — there hath not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt;

²⁰GOSPOD pa je otrdil srce Faraonovo, da ni odpustil sinov Izraelovih.

²⁰and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not sent the sons of Israel away.

²¹In reče GOSPOD Mojzesu: Iztegnil roko proti nebu, in nastane tema nad Egiptovsko deželo, tema, da jo bodo kar tipali.

²¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of Egypt, and the darkness is felt.`

²²In Mojzes iztegne roko proti nebu, in bila je gosta tema po vsej deželi Egiptovski tri dni.

²²And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and there is darkness — thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days;

²³Niso videli drug drugega, nihče tudi ni vstal s svojega mesta v teh treh dnevih; a vsi sinovi Izraelovi so imeli svetlo v prebivališčih svojih.

²³they have not seen one another, and none hath risen from his place three days; and to all the sons of Israel there hath been light in their dwellings.`

²⁴In pokliče Faraon Mojzesa in reče: Idite, služite GOSPODU; samo vaše ovce in vaši voli naj ostanejo tu, tudi otroci vaši naj gredo z vami.

²⁴And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and saith, `Go ye, serve Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants also go with you;`

²⁵Mojzes pa odgovori: Tudi klalne in žgalne daritve moraš dati v roke naše, da jih pripravimo GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu.

²⁵and Moses saith, `Thou also dost give in our hand sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and we have prepared for Jehovah our God;

²⁶Tudi živina naša pojde z nami, tu ne sme ostati niti en parkelj, ker od nje vzamemo, s čimer bomo služili GOSPODU, Bogu svojemu; kajti mi ne vemo, s čim naj služimo GOSPODU, dokler ne pridemo tjakaj.

²⁶and also our cattle doth go with us, there is not left a hoof, for from it we do take to serve Jehovah our God; and we — we know not how we do serve Jehovah till our going thither.`

²⁷Ali GOSPOD je otrdil srce Faraonovo, da jih ni hotel izpustiti.

²⁷And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath not been willing to send them away;

²⁸In Faraon mu reče: Pojdi izpred mene! Varuj se, da ne vidiš več obličja mojega, zakaj v dan, kadar bi zagledal obličje moje, umrješ.In Mojzes reče: Prav si povedal: nikoli več ne bom videl obličja tvojega.

²⁸and Pharaoh saith to him, `Go from me, take heed to thyself, add not to see my face, for in the day thou seest my face thou diest;`

²⁹In Mojzes reče: Prav si povedal: nikoli več ne bom videl obličja tvojega.

²⁹and Moses saith, `Rightly hast thou spoken, I add not any more to see thy face.`
