Exodus 19
1 In the third month after the sons of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
Tri mjeseca nakon izlaska iz zemlje egipatske, istoga dana, stignu Izraelci u Sinajsku pustinju.
2 And when they were departed from Rephidim, and came to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness, and there Israel encamped before the mount.
Idući od Refidima, dođu u Sinajsku pustinju i utabore se u pustinji. Postave Izraelci tabor tu pred brdom,
3 And Moses went up to God. And Jehovah called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus thou shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the sons of Israel:
a Mojsije se popne k Bogu. Jahve ga zovne s brda pa mu rekne: “Ovako kaži domu Jakovljevu, proglasi djeci Izraelovoj:
4 Ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
'Vi ste vidjeli što sam učinio Egipćanima; kako sam vas nosio na orlovskim krilima i k sebi vas doveo.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be my own possession from among all peoples, for all the earth is mine,
Stoga, budete li mi se vjerno pokoravali i držali moj Savez, vi ćete mi biti predraga svojina mimo sve narode - tÓa moj je sav svijet! -
6 and ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shall speak to the sons of Israel.
vi ćete mi biti kraljevstvo svećenika, narod svet.' Tim riječima oslovi Izraelce.”
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Jehovah commanded him.
Mojsije se vrati i sazva narodne starješine te im izloži sve što mu je Jahve naredio.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people to Jehovah.
A sav narod uzvrati jednoglasno: “Vršit ćemo sve što je Jahve naredio.” Onda Mojsije prenese odgovor naroda Jahvi.
9 And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, I come to thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee forever. And Moses told the words of the people to Jehovah.
Nato Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Ja ću, evo, doći k tebi u gustom oblaku da narod čuje kad budem s tobom govorio i da ti zauvijek vjeruje.” Tako je Mojsije prenio Jahvi odgovor naroda.
10 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
“Pođi k narodu”, reče Jahve Mojsiju, “i posvećuj ga danas i sutra. Neka opere svoju odjeću;
11 and be ready for the third day, for the third day Jehovah will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
neka bude gotov prekosutra, jer će prekosutra sići Jahve na brdo Sinaj naočigled svega puka.
12 And thou shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye not go up onto the mount, or touch the border of it. Whoever touches the mount shall be surely put to death;
Postavi naokolo granicu za narod i izdaj naredbu: 'Pripazite da se na brdo ne penjete; da se ni podnožja ne dotičete! Tko se god brda dotakne, smrt će ga snaći.
13 no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through, whether it be beast or man, he shall not live. When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mount.
Nikakva ruka neka ga se ne dotakne, nego neka bude kamenjem zasut ili strijelom ustrijeljen: bio čovjek ili živinče, neka na životu ne ostane.' Na otegnuti zvuk trube neka se na brdo penju.”
14 And Moses went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their garments.
Mojsije siđe s brda k narodu i poče posvećivati narod. Oni operu svoju odjeću.
15 And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day. Come not near a woman.
“Budite gotovi za prekosutra!” - rekne Mojsije narodu. “Ne primičite se ženi!”
16 And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of an exceedingly loud trumpet. And all the people who were in the camp trembled.
A prekosutra, u osvit dana, prolomi se grmljavina, munje zasijevaše, a gust se oblak nadvi nad brdo. Gromko zaječa truba, zadrhta sav puk koji bijaše u taboru.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the lower part of the mount.
Mojsije povede puk iz tabora u susret Bogu. Stadoše na podnožju brda.
18 And mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Jehovah descended upon it in fire, and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace. And the whole mount quaked greatly.
Brdo Sinaj zavilo se u dim jer je Jahve u obliku ognja sišao na nj. Dizao se dim kao dim iz peći. Sve se brdo silno treslo.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
Zvuk trube bivao sve jači. Mojsije je govorio, a Bog mu grmljavinom odgovarao.
20 And Jehovah came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount. And Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.
Jahve siđe na Sinajsko brdo, na vrhunac, i pozva Jahve Mojsija na vrhunac brda. Mojsije se uspe.
21 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go down, command the people, lest they break through to Jehovah to gaze, and many of them perish.
Sad Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Siđi i opomeni narod da ne bi provalio prema Jahvi da ga vidi. Mnogo bi ih poginulo.
22 And let the priests also, who come near to Jehovah, sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth upon them.
I sami svećenici, koji dolaze blizu Jahvi, moraju se očistiti, da ih Jahve ne uništi.”
23 And Moses said to Jehovah, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai, for thou commanded us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
“Narod se ne može popeti na brdo Sinaj”, odgovori Mojsije Jahvi, “jer si nas sam ti opomenuo: 'Postavi granice naokolo brda i proglasi ga svetim.'”
24 And Jehovah said to him, Go, get thee down. And thou shall come up, thou, and Aaron with thee, but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to Jehovah, lest he break forth upon them.
“Siđi pa se opet popni zajedno s Aronom”, odgovori mu Jahve. “Ali neka svećenici i narod ne navaljuju da se popnu prema Jahvi da ne izginu.”
25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
Mojsije siđe k narodu i sve mu kaza.
