Exodus 19
1 In the third month after the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they [into] the wilderness of Sinai:
V tretjem mesecu, ko so Izraelovi otroci odšli iz egiptovske dežele, istega dne, so prišli v Sinajsko divjino.
2 they departed from Rephidim, and came [into] the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in the wilderness; and Israel encamped there before the mountain.
Kajti odšli so iz Refidíma in prišli v sinajsko puščavo in se utaborili v divjini in tam je Izrael taboril pred goro.
3 And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
Mojzes je odšel gor k Bogu in Gospod je zaklical k njemu z gore, rekoč: »Tako boš rekel Jakobovi hiši in povedal Izraelovim otrokom:
4 Ye have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, and [how] I have borne you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
›Videli ste, kaj sem storil Egipčanom in kako sem vas nosil na orljih perutih in vas privedel k sebi.
5 And now, if ye will hearken to my voice indeed and keep my covenant, then shall ye be my own possession out of all the peoples — for all the earth is mine —
Zdaj torej, če boste zares poslušali moj glas in se držali moje zaveze, potem mi boste izvoljen zaklad nad vsemi ljudstvi, kajti vsa zemlja je moja,
6 and ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak to the children of Israel.
vi pa mi boste kraljestvo duhovnikov in svet narod.‹ To so besede, ki jih boš govoril Izraelovim otrokom.«
7 And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which Jehovah had commanded him.
Mojzes je prišel ter dal poklicati starešine ljudstva in pred njihove obraze položil vse te besede, ki mu jih je Gospod zapovedal.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that Jehovah has spoken will we do! And Moses brought the words of the people back to Jehovah.
Vse ljudstvo je skupaj odgovorilo ter reklo: »Vse, kar je Gospod govoril, bomo storili.« In Mojzes je besede ljudstva ponovil Gospodu.
9 And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, I will come to thee in the cloud's thick darkness, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee also for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to Jehovah.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Glej, k tebi pridem v gostem oblaku, da bo ljudstvo lahko slišalo, ko govorim s teboj in ti verjelo na veke.« In Mojzes je besede ljudstva povedal Gospodu.
10 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and hallow them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their clothes;
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Pojdi k ljudstvu in posvečuj jih danes in jutri in naj si operejo svoja oblačila
11 and let them be ready for the third day; for on the third day Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people on mount Sinai.
in bodite pripravljeni za tretji dan, kajti tretji dan bo Gospod prišel dol, v očeh vsega ljudstva, na goro Sinaj.
12 And set bounds round about the people, saying, Take heed to yourselves, [not] to go up unto the mountain nor touch the border of it: whatever toucheth the mountain shall certainly be put to death:
Ti pa boš ljudstvu postavil meje naokoli, rekoč: ›Pazite se, da ne greste gor na goro ali se dotaknete njene meje. Kdorkoli se dotakne gore, bo zagotovo usmrčen.
13 not a hand shall touch it, but it shall certainly be stoned, or shot through; whether it be a beast or a man, it shall not live. When the long drawn note of the trumpet soundeth, they shall come up to the mountain.
Niti roka se ga ne bo dotaknila, temveč naj bo zagotovo kamnan ali prestreljen; bodisi bo to žival ali človek, naj ta ne živi. Ko zadoni trobljenje naj pridejo h gori.‹«
14 And Moses came down from the mountain to the people, and hallowed the people; and they washed their clothes.
Mojzes je odšel dol z gore k ljudstvu in ljudstvo posvetil, in ti so si oprali svoja oblačila.
15 And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day; do not come near [your] wives.
Ljudstvu je rekel: »Bodite pripravljeni na tretji dan. Ne približujte se k svojim ženam.«
16 And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the sound of the trumpet exceeding loud; and the whole people that was in the camp trembled.
Na tretji dan se je zjutraj pripetilo, da so bila grmenja in bliski in na gori gost oblak in silno glasen zvok šofarja, tako da je vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo v taboru, trepetalo.
17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
Mojzes je ljudstvo privedel iz tabora, da se sreča z Bogom. Stali so pri spodnjem delu gore.
18 And the whole of mount Sinai smoked, because Jehovah descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended as the smoke of a furnace; and the whole mountain shook greatly.
Gora Sinaj je bila povsem v dimu, ker se je Gospod nanjo spustil v ognju in njen dim se je vzpenjal kakor dim iz talilne peči in celotna gora se je silno tresla.
19 And the sound of the trumpet increased and became exceeding loud; Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
Ko je glas šofarja zategnjeno donel in postajal glasnejši in glasnejši, je Mojzes spregovoril in Bog mu je odgovoril z glasom.
20 And Jehovah came down on mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain; and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
Gospod je prišel dol na goro Sinaj, na vrh gore in Gospod je Mojzesa poklical gor na vrh gore in Mojzes je odšel gor.
21 And Jehovah said to Moses, Go down, testify to the people that they break not through to Jehovah to gaze, and many of them perish.
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Pojdi dol, naroči ljudstvu, da se ne bi prebili h Gospodu, da bi strmeli in se mnogi izmed njih pogubijo.
22 And the priests also, who come near to Jehovah, shall hallow themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.
Naj se tudi duhovniki, ki pridejo bliže h Gospodu, posvétijo, da ne bi Gospod izbruhnil nad njimi.«
23 And Moses said to Jehovah, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai; for thou hast testified to us, saying, Set bounds about the mountain, and hallow it.
Mojzes pa je rekel Gospodu: »Ljudstvo se ne more povzpeti na goro Sinaj, kajti zapovedal si nam, rekoč: ›Postavi meje okoli gore in jo posvéti.‹«
24 And Jehovah said to him, Go, descend, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; but the priests and the people shall not break through to go up to Jehovah, lest he break forth on them.
Gospod mu je rekel: »Proč, spusti se in prišel boš gor, ti in Aron s teboj. Toda duhovniki in ljudstvo naj se ne prebijejo, da pridejo h Gospodu, da ne bi nad njimi izbruhnil.«
25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
Tako je Mojzes odšel dol k ljudstvu in jim spregovoril.
