Exodus 24
1 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.
Mojzesu je rekel: »Pridite gor h Gospodu, ti in Aron, Nadáb in Abihú ter sedemdeset Izraelovih starešin in obožujte daleč stran.«
2 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.
Samo Mojzes pa bo prišel blizu Gospodu, toda oni naj ne pridejo blizu; niti ne bo ljudstvo z njim šlo gor.
3 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.
Mojzes je prišel in ljudstvu povedal vse Gospodove besede in vse sodbe, in vse ljudstvo je odgovorilo z enim glasom ter reklo: »Vse besede, ki jih je povedal Gospod, bomo izpolnjevali.«
4 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.
Mojzes je zapisal vse Gospodove besede in vstal zgodaj zjutraj in pod hribom zgradil oltar in dvanajst stebrov, glede na dvanajst Izraelovih rodov.
5 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.
Poslal je mladeniče izmed Izraelovih otrok, ki so darovali žgalne daritve in žrtvovali mirovne daritve volov Gospodu.
6 And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.
Mojzes je vzel polovico od krvi ter jo dal v umivalnike, polovico od krvi pa je poškropil na oltar.
7 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.
Vzel je knjigo zaveze in bral v občinstvu ljudstva, in rekli so: »Vse, kar je rekel Gospod, bomo izpolnjevali in bomo poslušni.«
8 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.
Mojzes je vzel kri in jo poškropil na ljudstvo ter rekel: »Poglejte kri zaveze, ki jo je Gospod z vami sklenil glede vseh teh besed.«
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the chiefs of Israel went up:
Potem so šli gor Mojzes in Aron, Nadáb in Abihú ter sedemdeset izmed Izraelovih starešin,
10 And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.
in videli so Izraelovega Boga in pod njegovimi stopali je bilo kakor bi bilo to tlakovano delo iz kamna safirja in kakor bi bilo to nebeško telo v svoji jasnosti.
11 And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.
Na plemiče Izraelovih otrok pa ni položil svoje roke; tudi oni so videli Boga in so jedli ter pili.
12 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.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Pridi gor k meni na goro in bodi tam, jaz pa ti bom dal kamniti plošči, postavo in zapovedi, ki sem jih zapisal, da jih boš lahko učil.«
13 Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
Mojzes je vstal ter njegov strežnik Józue in Mojzes je šel gor na goro Boga.
14 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.
Starešinam pa je rekel: »Čakajte tukaj na naju, dokler ponovno ne prideva k vam. Glejte, Aron in Hur sta z vami. Če ima katerikoli človek za urediti kakršnekoli zadeve, naj pride k njima.«
15 And Moses went up into the mountain, and it was covered by the cloud.
Mojzes je odšel gor na goro in goro je pokril oblak.
16 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.
Gospodova slava je ostala na gori Sinaj in oblak jo je pokrival šest dni. Sedmi dan pa je iz srede oblaka zaklical k Mojzesu.
17 And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.
Prizor Gospodove slave na vrhu gore je bil v očeh Izraelovih otrok podoben požirajočemu ognju.
18 And Moses went up the mountain, into the cloud, and was there for forty days and forty nights.
Mojzes je odšel v sredo oblaka in se povzpel na goro. Mojzes je bil na gori štirideset dni in štirideset noči.
