Izlazak 24

1 Potom reče Mojsiju: “Uzađi k Jahvi - ti, Aron, Nadab i Abihu i sedamdeset izraelskih starješina. Poklonite se izdaljega!

And he said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the chiefs of Israel; and give me worship from a distance.

2 Neka se sam Mojsije primakne k Jahvi! Oni neka se ne primiču, a puk neka se s njim ne penje.”

And Moses only may come near to the Lord; but the others are not to come near, and the people may not come up with them.

3 Dođe Mojsije i kaza narodu sve riječi Jahvine i sve odredbe. A sav puk odgovori u jedan glas: “Sve riječi što ih Jahve reče, vršit ćemo.”

Then Moses came and put before the people all the words of the Lord and his laws: and all the people, answering with one voice, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do.

4 Tada Mojsije popiše sve riječi Jahvine. A ujutro podrani te podigne žrtvenik na podnožju brda i dvanaest stupova za dvanaest plemena Izraelovih.

Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 Zatim naloži mladim Izraelcima da prinesu žrtve paljenice i da žrtvuju Jahvi junce kao žrtve pričesnice.

And he sent some of the young men of the children of Israel to make burned offerings and peace-offerings of oxen to the Lord.

6 Mojsije uhvati krv; polovinu krvi ulije u posude, a polovinu izlije po žrtveniku.

And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.

7 Prihvati zatim Knjigu Saveza pa je narodu glasno pročita, a narod uzvrati: “Sve što je Jahve rekao, izvršit ćemo i poslušat ćemo.”

And he took the book of the agreement, reading it in the hearing of the people: and they said, Everything which the Lord has said we will do, and we will keep his laws.

8 Mojsije potom uzme krvi te poškropi narod govoreći: “Ovo je krv Saveza koji je Jahve s vama uspostavio na temelju svih ovih riječi.”

Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.

9 Onda se uspne Mojsije s Aronom, Nadabom i Abihuom i sa sedamdeset starješina Izraelovih.

Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the chiefs of Israel went up:

10 Oni vidješe Boga Izraelova: podnožje njegovim nogama kao da je bilo od dragoga kamena safira, sjajem nalik na samo nebo.

And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.

11 Ni ruke svoje nije pružio na izabranike Izraelaca: slobodno su Boga motrili i jeli i pili.

And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.

12 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Popni se k meni na brdo i pričekaj ondje. Dat ću ti kamene ploče sa zakonom i zapovijedima koje sam za njihovu pouku napisao.”

And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.

13 Ustane Mojsije i njegov pomoćnik Jošua te se Mojsije popne na brdo Božje.

Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.

14 A starješinama reče: “Čekajte nas ovdje dok se ne vratimo. Eto je s vama Aron i Hur. Tko imadne kakvu razmiricu, neka se obrati na njih.”

And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.

15 Zatim Mojsije uzađe na brdo, a onda oblak prekri brdo.

And Moses went up into the mountain, and it was covered by the cloud.

16 Slava se Jahvina nastani na Sinajskom brdu i oblak ga obavijaše šest dana. Sedmoga dana zovne Jahve Mojsija isred oblaka.

And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.

17 Slava Jahvina na vrhuncu brda bijaše očima Izraelaca kao vatra koja sažiže. Mojsije zađe u oblak i uspne se na brdo.

And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 Četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći boravio je Mojsije na brdu.

And Moses went up the mountain, into the cloud, and was there for forty days and forty nights.
