Izlazak 32
1 A narod, videći gdje Mojsije dugo ne silazi s brda, okupi se oko Arona pa mu rekne: “Ustaj! Napravi nam boga, pa neka on pred nama ide! Ne znamo što se dogodi s tim čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izvede iz zemlje egipatske.”
Now when the people saw that Moses was delayed in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!”
2 “Poskidajte zlatne naušnice što vise o ušima vaših žena, vaših sinova i vaših kćeri”, odgovori im Aron, “pa ih meni donesite.”
So Aaron told them, “Take off the gold earrings that are on your wives and sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 Sav svijet skine zlatne naušnice što ih je o ušima imao i donese Aronu.
Then all the people took off their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 Primivši zlato iz njihovih ruku, rastopi kovinu u kalupu i načini saliveno tele. A oni poviču: “Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske.”
He took the gold from their hands, and with an engraving tool he fashioned it into a molten calf. And they said, “These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”
5 Vidjevši to Aron, sagradi pred njim žrtvenik a onda najavi: “Sutra neka se priredi svečanost u čast Jahvi!”
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and proclaimed: “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the LORD.”
6 Sutradan rano ustanu i prinesu žrtve paljenice i donesu žrtve pričesnice. Onda svijet posjeda da jede i pije. Poslije toga ustade da se zabavlja.
So the next day they arose, offered burnt offerings, and presented peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to indulge in revelry.
7 “Požuri se dolje!” - progovori Jahve Mojsiju. “Narod tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, pošao je naopako.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
8 Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im odredio. Napravili su sebi tele od rastopljene kovine, preda nj pali ničice i žrtve mu prinijeli uz poklike: 'Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske!'
How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten calf and have bowed down to it. They have sacrificed to it and said, ‘These, O Israel, are your gods, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
9 Dobro vidim”, reče dalje Jahve Mojsiju, “da je ovaj narod tvrde šije.
The LORD also said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
10 Pusti sada neka se moj gnjev na njih raspali da ih istrijebim. Onda ću od tebe razviti velik narod.”
Now leave Me alone, so that My anger may burn against them and consume them. Then I will make you into a great nation.”
11 Mojsije pak zapomagao pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, i govorio: “O Jahve! Čemu da gnjevom plamtiš na svoj narod koji si izbavio iz zemlje egipatske silom velikom i rukom jakom!
But Moses sought the favor of the LORD his God, saying, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people, whom You brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand?
12 Zašto bi Egipćani morali reći: 'U zloj ih je namjeri i odveo, tako da ih smakne u brdinama i izbriše s lica zemlje!' Smiri svoj gnjev i ljutinu; odustani od zla svome narodu!
Why should the Egyptians declare, ‘He brought them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and wipe them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your fierce anger and relent from doing harm to Your people.
13 Sjeti se Abrahama, Izaka i Izraela, slugu svojih, kojima si se samim sobom zakleo i obećao im: 'Razmnožit ću vaše potomstvo kao zvijezde na nebu i svu zemlju ovu što sam obećao dat ću vašem potomstvu i ona će zavazda biti njihova baština.'”
Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to whom You swore by Your very self when You declared, ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and I will give your descendants all this land that I have promised, and it shall be their inheritance forever.’”
14 I Jahve odustane da na svoj narod svali nesreću kojom mu bijaše zaprijetio.
So the LORD relented from the calamity He had threatened to bring on His people.
15 Mojsije se okrene i siđe s brda. U rukama su mu bile dvije ploče Svjedočanstva, ploče ispisane na objema plohama; ispisane i s jedne i s druge strane.
Then Moses turned and went down the mountain with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands. They were inscribed on both sides, front and back.
16 Ploče su bile djelo Božje; pismo je bilo pismo Božje u pločama urezano.
The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17 A Jošua ču viku naroda koji je bučio pa reče Mojsiju: “Bojna vika u taboru!”
When Joshua heard the sound of the people shouting, he said to Moses, “The sound of war is in the camp.”
18 Mojsije mu odgovori: “Niti viču pobjednici, niti tuže pobijeđeni: tu ja samo pjesmu čujem.”
But Moses replied: “It is neither the cry of victory nor the cry of defeat; I hear the sound of singing!”
19 Čim se približi taboru te opazi tele i kako igraju, razgnjevi se Mojsije. Baci iz ruku ploče i razbije ih na podnožju brda.
As Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, he burned with anger and threw the tablets out of his hands, shattering them at the base of the mountain.
20 Pograbi tele koje bijahu napravili, spali ga ognjem i u prah satre. Onda prah razbaca po vodi i natjera Izraelce da je piju.
Then he took the calf they had made, burned it in the fire, ground it to powder, and scattered the powder over the face of the water. Then he forced the Israelites to drink it.
21 “Što ti je ovaj puk učinio”, reče Mojsije Aronu, “da si tako velik grijeh na nj svalio?”
“What did this people do to you,” Moses asked Aaron, “that you have led them into so great a sin?”
22 “Neka se moj gospodar srdžbom ne raspaljuje”, odgovori Aron. “Sam dobro znaš kako je ovaj narod na zlo sklon.
“Do not be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil.
23 Rekoše mi: 'Napravi nam boga pa neka pred nama ide! Ne znamo što se dogodi s tim čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izbavi iz zemlje egipatske.'
They told me, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him!’
24 Na to im ja rekoh: 'Tko ima zlata, neka ga skine!' Tako mi ga dadoše, a ja ga bacih u vatru te izađe ovo tele.”
So I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let him take it off,’ and they gave it to me. And when I threw it into the fire, out came this calf!”
25 Kad je Mojsije vidio kako je narod postao razuzdan - tÓa Aron ih je pustio da padnu u idolopoklonstvo među svojim neprijateljima -
Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them run wild and become a laughingstock to their enemies.
26 stade na taborskim vratima i povika: “Tko je za Jahvu, k meni!” Svi se sinovi Levijevi okupe oko njega.
So Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the LORD, come to me.” And all the Levites gathered around him.
27 On im reče: “Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraela: 'Neka svatko pripaše mač o bedro i pođe taborom od vrata do vrata pa neka ubije tko svoga brata, tko svoga prijatelja, tko svoga susjeda.'”
He told them, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Each of you men is to fasten his sword to his side, go back and forth through the camp from gate to gate, and slay his brother, his friend, and his neighbor.’”
28 Sinovi Levijevi izvršiše Mojsijev nalog, i toga dana pade naroda oko tri tisuće ljudi.
The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people fell dead.
29 “Danas ste se posvetili Jahvi za službu”, reče Mojsije, “tko uz cijenu svoga sina, tko uz cijenu svoga brata, tako da vam danas daje blagoslov.”
Afterward, Moses said, “Today you have been ordained for service to the LORD, since each man went against his son and his brother; so the LORD has bestowed a blessing on you this day.”
30 Sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: “Težak ste grijeh počinili. Ipak ću se Jahvi popeti. Možda za vaš grijeh oproštenje pribavim.”
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin. Now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
31 Mojsije se vrati Jahvi pa reče: “Jao! Narod onaj težak je grijeh počinio napravivši sebi boga od zlata.
So Moses returned to the LORD and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made gods of gold for themselves.
32 Ipak im taj grijeh oprosti... Ako nećeš, onda i mene izbriši iz svoje knjige koju si napisao.”
Yet now, if You would only forgive their sin.... But if not, please blot me out of the book that You have written.”
33 Nato Jahve odgovori Mojsiju: “Onoga koji je protiv mene sagriješio izbrisat ću iz svoje knjige.
The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book.
34 Nego, idi sad! Povedi narod kamo sam ti rekao. Anđeo će moj pred tobom ići. Ali u dan kad ih pohodim, zbog njihova ću ih grijeha kazniti.”
Now go, lead the people to the place I described. Behold, My angel shall go before you. But on the day I settle accounts, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Udari Jahve po narodu pomorom zbog teleta što im ga Aron načini.
And the LORD sent a plague on the people because of what they had done with the calf that Aaron had made.
