Exodus 19
1 In the third month of the departure of Israel from the land of Egypt, in that day, they arrived in the wilderness of Sinai.
Tri mjeseca nakon izlaska iz zemlje egipatske, istoga dana, stignu Izraelci u Sinajsku pustinju.
2 Thus, setting out from Raphidim, and going directly to the desert of Sinai, they encamped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents away from the region of the mountain.
Idući od Refidima, dođu u Sinajsku pustinju i utabore se u pustinji. Postave Izraelci tabor tu pred brdom,
3 Then Moses ascended to God. And the Lord called to him from the mountain, and he said: “This you shall say to the house of Jacob, and announce to 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 ‘You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, in what way I carried you upon the wings of eagles and how I have taken you for myself.
'Vi ste vidjeli što sam učinio Egipćanima; kako sam vas nosio na orlovskim krilima i k sebi vas doveo.
5 If, therefore, you will hear my voice, and you will keep my covenant, you will be to me a particular possession out of all people. 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 you will be to me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you will speak to the sons of Israel.”
vi ćete mi biti kraljevstvo svećenika, narod svet.' Tim riječima oslovi Izraelce.”
7 Moses went, and calling together those greater by birth among the people, he set forth all the words which the Lord had commanded.
Mojsije se vrati i sazva narodne starješine te im izloži sve što mu je Jahve naredio.
8 And all the people responded together: “Everything that the Lord has spoken, we shall do.” And when Moses had related the words of the people to the Lord,
A sav narod uzvrati jednoglasno: “Vršit ćemo sve što je Jahve naredio.” Onda Mojsije prenese odgovor naroda Jahvi.
9 the Lord said to him: “Soon now, I will come to you in the mist of a cloud, so that the people may hear me speaking to you, and so that they may believe you continuously.” Therefore, Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord,
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 who said to him: “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 let them be prepared on the third day. For on the third day, the Lord will descend, in the sight of all the people, over Mount Sinai.
neka bude gotov prekosutra, jer će prekosutra sići Jahve na brdo Sinaj naočigled svega puka.
12 And you will establish limits for the people all around, and you will say to them: ‘Take care not to ascend to the mountain, and that you do not touch its parts. All who touch the mountain, shall die a 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 Hands shall not touch him, but he shall be crushed with stones, or he shall be pierced through with darts. Whether it be a beast or a man, he shall not live. For when the trumpet begins to sound, perhaps they might go up toward the mountain.”
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 came down from the mountain to the people, and he sanctified them. And when they had washed their garments,
Mojsije siđe s brda k narodu i poče posvećivati narod. Oni operu svoju odjeću.
15 he said to them, “Be prepared on the third day, and do not draw near to your wives.”
“Budite gotovi za prekosutra!” - rekne Mojsije narodu. “Ne primičite se ženi!”
16 And now, the third day arrived and the morning dawned. And behold, thunders began to be heard, and also lightning flashed, and a very dense cloud covered the mountain, and the noise of the trumpet resounded vehemently. And the people who were in the camp were fearful.
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 when Moses had led them out to meet God, from the place of the camp, they stood at the base of the mountain.
Mojsije povede puk iz tabora u susret Bogu. Stadoše na podnožju brda.
18 Then all of Mount Sinai was smoking. For the Lord had descended over it with fire, and smoke ascended from it, as from a furnace. And the entire mountain was terrible.
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 the sound of the trumpet gradually increased to be louder, and extended to be longer. Moses was speaking, and God was answering him.
Zvuk trube bivao sve jači. Mojsije je govorio, a Bog mu grmljavinom odgovarao.
20 And the Lord descended over Mount Sinai, to the very top of the mountain, and he called Moses to its summit. And when he had ascended there,
Jahve siđe na Sinajsko brdo, na vrhunac, i pozva Jahve Mojsija na vrhunac brda. Mojsije se uspe.
21 he said to him: “Descend, and call the people to witness, lest they might be willing to transgress the limits, so as to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them might perish.
Sad Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Siđi i opomeni narod da ne bi provalio prema Jahvi da ga vidi. Mnogo bi ih poginulo.
22 Likewise, the priests who approach toward the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them down.”
I sami svećenici, koji dolaze blizu Jahvi, moraju se očistiti, da ih Jahve ne uništi.”
23 And Moses said to the Lord: “The people are not able to ascend to Mount Sinai. For you testified, and you commanded, saying: ‘Set limits around the mountain, 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 the Lord said to him, “Go, descend. And you shall ascend, and Aaron with you. But let not the priests or the people transgress the limits, nor ascend to the Lord, lest perhaps he may put them to death.”
“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 And Moses descended to the people, and he explained everything to them.
Mojsije siđe k narodu i sve mu kaza.
