Izlazak 33
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Idi! Putuj odavde, ti i narod koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu da ću je dati njihovim potomcima.
Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Depart, go up from here, you and the people that you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your offspring.’
2 Pred tobom ću poslati anđela; istjerat ću Kanaance, Amorejce, Hetite, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce.
I will send an angel before you; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
3 Idite u zemlju kojom teče mlijeko i med. Ja s vama neću poći - jer ste narod tvrde šije - da vas putem ne istrijebim.”
Go to a land flowing with milk and honey; but I will not go up among you, for you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”
4 Kad narod ču ove oštre riječi, poče tugovati. I nitko više ne stavi na se svoga nakita.
When the people heard this evil news, they mourned; and no one put on his jewelry.
5 Jer reče Jahve Mojsiju: “Kaži Izraelcima: 'Vi ste narod tvrde šije. Kad bih ja s vama išao samo čas, uništio bih vas. Stoga skinite svoj nakit, a ja ću vidjeti što ću s vama učiniti.'”
Yahweh had said to Moses, “Tell the children of Israel, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I were to go up among you for one moment, I would consume you. Therefore now take off your jewelry from you, that I may know what to do to you.’”
6 Tako su od brda Horeba Izraelci bili bez nakita.
The children of Israel stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.
7 Mojsije uze Šator i razape ga izvan tabora, daleko od tabora. I nazva ga Šator sastanka. Tko bi se god htio obratiti Jahvi, pošao bi k Šatoru sastanka, koji se nalazio izvan tabora.
Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far away from the camp, and he called it “The Tent of Meeting.” Everyone who sought Yahweh went out to the Tent of Meeting, which was outside the camp.
8 Kad bi god Mojsije pošao u Šator, sav bi se narod digao; svatko bi stajao kod ulaza u svoj šator i gledao za Mojsijem dok ne bi ušao u Šator.
When Moses went out to the Tent, all the people rose up, and stood, everyone at their tent door, and watched Moses, until he had gone into the Tent.
9 A kad bi Mojsije ušao u Šator, stup bi se oblaka spustio i ostajao na ulazu u Šator dok je Jahve s Mojsijem razgovarao.
When Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, stood at the door of the Tent, and Yahweh spoke with Moses.
10 Videći kako stup oblaka stoji na ulazu Šatora, sav bi se narod tada dizao i svatko bi se duboko klanjao na vratima svoga šatora.
All the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent, and all the people rose up and worshiped, everyone at their tent door.
11 Tako bi Jahve razgovarao s Mojsijem licem u lice, kao što čovjek govori s prijateljem. Mojsije bi se poslije vratio u tabor, ali se njegov pomoćnik Jošua, sin Nunov, mlađarac, iz Šatora ne bi micao.
Yahweh spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. He turned again into the camp, but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart from the Tent.
12 Mojsije oslovi Jahvu: “Vidi, ti si meni rekao: 'Povedi ovaj narod', ali mi nisi objavio koga ćeš sa mnom poslati. Još si mi rekao: 'Znam te po imenu, i ti uživaš moju blagonaklonost.'
Moses said to Yahweh, “Behold, you tell me, ‘Bring up this people;’ and you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’
13 Stoga, ako uživam tvoju blagonaklonost, objavi mi svoje putove da te shvatim i da dalje uživam tvoju blagonaklonost. Promisli također da je ova svjetina tvoj narod.”
Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me your way, now, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight; and consider that this nation is your people.”
14 “Ja ću osobno s tobom poći”, odgovori Jahve, “i počinak ti priuštiti.”
He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
15 “Ako ti ne pođeš”, nadoda Mojsije, “odavde nas i ne izvodi.
Moses said to him, “If your presence doesn’t go with me, don’t carry us up from here.
16 TÓa kako će se znati da uživamo tvoju naklonost, ja i tvoj narod? Po tome što ideš s nama. Time ćemo se samo razlikovati ja i tvoj narod među svim narodima koji su na licu zemlje.”
For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?”
17 “I ovo što si zatražio, učinit ću”, odgovori Jahve Mojsiju. “TÓa ti uživaš moju blagonaklonost jer te po imenu poznajem.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “I will do this thing also that you have spoken; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.”
18 “Pokaži mi svoju slavu”, zamoli Mojsije.
Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”
19 “Dopustit ću da ispred tebe prođe sav moj sjaj”, odgovori, “i pred tobom ću izustiti svoje ime Jahve. Bit ću milostiv kome hoću da milostiv budem; smilovat ću se komu hoću da se smilujem.
He said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim Yahweh’s name before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”
20 A ti”, doda, “moga lica ne možeš vidjeti, jer ne može čovjek mene vidjeti i na životu ostati.
He said, “You cannot see my face, for man may not see me and live.”
21 Evo mjesta ovdje uza me”, nastavi Jahve. “Stani na pećinu!
Yahweh also said, “Behold, there is a place by me, and you shall stand on the rock.
22 Dok moja slava bude prolazila, stavit ću te u pukotinu pećine i svojom te rukom zakloniti dok ne prođem.
It will happen, while my glory passes by, that I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by;
23 Onda ću ja svoju ruku maknuti, pa ćeš me s leđa vidjeti. Ali se lice moje ne može vidjeti.”
then I will take away my hand, and you will see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
