¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹In GOSPOD je govoril Mojzesu, rekoč:

²“Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn back and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before Baal Zephon. You shall encamp opposite it by the sea.

²Govóri sinovom Izraelovim, naj se vrnejo in tabore pred Pihahirotom, med Migdolom in morjem, pred Baalzefonom; njemu nasproti razpnite šatore pri morju.

³Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are entangled in the land. The wilderness has shut them in.’

³Kajti Faraon poreče o Izraelovih sinovih: Zašli so v deželi, puščava jih je obdala.

⁴I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will follow after them; and I will get honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies; and the Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh.” They did so.

⁴Jaz pa hočem otrditi srce Faraonovo, da bo hitel za njimi, in hočem se oslaviti na Faraonu in na vsej vojski njegovi; in Egipčani spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD. In storili so tako.

⁵It was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled; and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people, and they said, “What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”

⁵In ko so kralju egiptovskemu sporočili, da je ljudstvo zbežalo, se izpremeni srce Faraonovo in služabnikov njegovih proti ljudstvu, in reko: Kaj smo to storili, da smo odpustili Izraelce iz službe svoje!

⁶He prepared his chariot, and took his army with him;

⁶Zapreže torej svoj voz ter vzame ljudstvo svoje s seboj;

⁷and he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.

⁷vzame namreč šeststo izbranih voz in vse vozove egiptovske in bojevnike na vsakem iz njih.

⁸Yahweh hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel; for the children of Israel went out with a high hand.

⁸In GOSPOD je otrdil srce Faraona, kralja egiptovskega, da je dirjal za sinovi Izraelovimi. A sinovi Izraelovi so odhajali po visoki roki.

⁹The Egyptians pursued after them: all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen, and his army; and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

⁹Egipčani pa so hiteli za njimi, in vsi konji in vozovi Faraonovi, konjiki njegovi in vojska njegova so jih došli, ko so taborili pri morju ob Pihahirotu, nasproti Baalzefonu.

¹⁰When Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were very afraid. The children of Israel cried out to Yahweh.

¹⁰Ko se je pa bližal Faraon, povzdignejo sinovi Izrelovi oči, in glej, Egipčani gredo za njimi; in ustrašijo se sinovi Izrelovi zelo in vpijejo h GOSPODU.

¹¹They said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way, to bring us out of Egypt?

¹¹In govore Mojzesu: Ni li morda bilo nobenih grobov v Egiptu, da si nas odpeljal, da umrjemo v puščavi? Zakaj si nam to storil, da si nas izvedel iz Egipta?

¹²Isn’t this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians?’ For it were better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.”

¹²Ali to ni beseda, ki smo ti jo govorili v Egiptu, rekoč: Pusti nas, naj služimo Egipčanom, zakaj bolje nam je služiti Egipčanom nego umreti v puščavi.

¹³Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of Yahweh, which he will work for you today: for the Egyptians whom you have seen today, you shall never see them again.

¹³In Mojzes veli ljudstvu: Ne bojte se, stojte trdno in glejte rešitev GOSPODOVO, ki jo za vas izvrši danes; zakaj Egipčanov, ki jih danes vidite, ne boste nikdar več videli na veke.

¹⁴Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still.”

¹⁴GOSPOD se bo za vas bojeval, vi pa bodite mirni!

¹⁵Yahweh said to Moses, “Why do you cry to me? Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward.

¹⁵In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Zakaj vpiješ k meni? Véli Izraelovim sinovom, naj gredo naprej!

¹⁶Lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go into the midst of the sea on dry ground.

¹⁶Ti pa povzdigni palico svojo in iztegni roko nad morje ter ga razdeli, in šli bodo sinovi Izraelovi sredi morja po suhem.

¹⁷I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall go in after them: and I will get myself honor over Pharaoh, and over all his armies, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.

¹⁷In glej, jaz otrdim srce Egipčanov, da pojdejo za vami; in hočem se oslaviti na Faraonu in na vsej vojski njegovi in na vseh vozovih in konjikih njegovih.

¹⁸The Egyptians shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have gotten myself honor over Pharaoh, over his chariots, and over his horsemen.”

¹⁸In Egipčani spoznajo, da sem jaz GOSPOD, kadar se oslavim na Faraonu, na njegovih vozeh in konjikih njegovih.

¹⁹The angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from before them, and stood behind them.

¹⁹In vzdignil se je angel GOSPODOV, ki je šel pred vojsko Izraelcev, in gre zadaj za njimi, in oblakov steber izgine izpred njih in se postavi za njimi,

²⁰It came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night: and the one didn’t come near the other all the night.

²⁰in pride med vojsko Egipčanov in vojsko Izraelovo; in tam je oblak delal temo, tu pa je razsvetljeval noč. In eni se niso drugim približali celo noč.

²¹Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and Yahweh caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all the night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

²¹Mojzes torej iztegne roko nad morje, in GOSPOD je odpravil morje s silnim vzhodnikom, ki je pihal celo noč, in je napravil v morju suha tla, in voda se je razdelila.

²²The children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

²²In sinovi Izraelovi so šli sredi morja po suhem, in vode so jim bile kakor zidovje na desni in na levi.

²³The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them into the midst of the sea: all of Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

²³In Egipčani so gnali za njimi, in prišli so vsi konji Faraonovi, vozovi in konjiki njegovi v sredo morja.

²⁴It happened in the morning watch, that Yahweh looked out on the Egyptian army through the pillar of fire and of cloud, and confused the Egyptian army.

²⁴In zgodi se ob jutranji straži, da pogleda GOSPOD na vojsko Egipčanov iz ognjenega in oblakovega stebra in napravi zmešnjavo v vojski Egipčanov;

²⁵He took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily; so that the Egyptians said, “Let’s flee from the face of Israel, for Yahweh fights for them against the Egyptians!”

²⁵in stori, da se kolesa vozom izmaknejo, tako da so s težavo vozili. In Egipčani reko: Bežímo pred Izraelom, kajti GOSPOD se bojuje zanje proti Egiptu.

²⁶Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come again on the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”

²⁶In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Iztegni roko nad morje, da se vode povrnejo na Egipčane, na njih vozove in jezdece.

²⁷Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it. Yahweh overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

²⁷Tedaj iztegne Mojzes roko po morju, in povrnilo se je morje ob jutranjem svitu v navadno valovanje svoje; in Egipčani so bežali proti njemu, in GOSPOD jih je pognal v sredo vodovja.

²⁸The waters returned, and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all Pharaoh’s army that went in after them into the sea. There remained not so much as one of them.

²⁸In povrnile so se vode in zagrnile vozove in konjištvo vse vojske Faraonove, ki je šla za Izraelci v morje; ni preostalo izmed njih še enega ne.

²⁹But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

²⁹Ali sinovi Izraelovi so šli sredi morja po suhem, in vode so jim bile v zidovje na desni in na levi.

³⁰Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

³⁰Tako je otel GOSPOD tisti dan Izraela iz roke Egipčanov. In videl je Izrael Egipčane mrtve ob bregu morja.In videl je Izrael preveliko moč, ki jo je bil GOSPOD pokazal nad Egipčani, in balo se je ljudstvo GOSPODA in verovalo je GOSPODU in Mojzesu, njegovemu služabniku.

³¹Israel saw the great work which Yahweh did to the Egyptians, and the people feared Yahweh; and they believed in Yahweh, and in his servant Moses.

³¹In videl je Izrael preveliko moč, ki jo je bil GOSPOD pokazal nad Egipčani, in balo se je ljudstvo GOSPODA in verovalo je GOSPODU in Mojzesu, njegovemu služabniku.
