Exodus 33
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: God, get thee up from this place, thou and thy people which thou has brought out of the land of Egypt, into the land concerning which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying: To thy seed I will give it.
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.
2 And I will send an angel before thee, that I may cast out the Chanaanite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite.
Pred tobom ću poslati anđela; istjerat ću Kanaance, Amorejce, Hetite, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce.
3 That thou mayst enter into the land that floweth with milk and honey. For I will not go up with thee, because thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I destroy thee in the way.
Idite u zemlju kojom teče mlijeko i med. Ja s vama neću poći - jer ste narod tvrde šije - da vas putem ne istrijebim.”
4 And the people hearing these very bad tidings, mourned: and no man put on his ornaments according to custom.
Kad narod ču ove oštre riječi, poče tugovati. I nitko više ne stavi na se svoga nakita.
5 And the Lord said to Moses: Say to the children of Israel: Thou are a stiffnecked people; once I shall come up in the midst of thee, and shall destroy thee. Now presently lay aside thy ornaments, that I may know what to do with thee.
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.'”
6 So the children of Israel laid aside their ornaments by mount Horeb.
Tako su od brda Horeba Izraelci bili bez nakita.
7 Moses also taking the tabernacle, pitched it without the camp afar off, and called the name thereof, The tabernacle of the covenant. And all the people that had any question, went forth to the tabernacle of the covenant, without the camp.
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.
8 And when Moses went forth to the tabernacle, all the people rose up, and every one stood in the door of his pavilion, and they beheld the back of Moses, till he went into the tabernacle.
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.
9 And when he was gone into the tabernacle of the covenant, the pillar of the cloud came down, and stood at the door, and he spoke with Moses.
A kad bi Mojsije ušao u Šator, stup bi se oblaka spustio i ostajao na ulazu u Šator dok je Jahve s Mojsijem razgovarao.
10 And all saw that the pillar of the cloud stood at the door of the tabernacle. And they stood, and worshipped at the doors of their tents.
Videći kako stup oblaka stoji na ulazu Šatora, sav bi se narod tada dizao i svatko bi se duboko klanjao na vratima svoga šatora.
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face, as a man is wont to speak to his friend. And when he returned into the camp, his servant Josue the son of Nun, a young man, departed not from the tabernacle.
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.
12 And Moses said to the Lord; Thou commandest me to lead forth this people: and thou dost not let me know whom thou wilt send with me, especially whereas thou hast said: I know thee by name, and thou hast found favour in my sight.
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.'
13 If therefore I have found favour in thy sight, show me thy face, that I may know thee, and may find grace before thy eyes: look upon thy people this nation.
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.”
14 And the Lord said: My face shall go before thee, and I will give thee rest.
“Ja ću osobno s tobom poći”, odgovori Jahve, “i počinak ti priuštiti.”
15 And Moses said: If thou thyself dost not go before, bring us not out of this place.
“Ako ti ne pođeš”, nadoda Mojsije, “odavde nas i ne izvodi.
16 For how shall we be able to know, I and thy people, that we have found grace in thy sight, unless thou walk with us, that we may be glorified by all people that dwell upon the earth?
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.”
17 And the Lord said to Moses: This word also, which thou hast spoken, will I do: for thou hast found grace before me, and thee I have known by name.
“I ovo što si zatražio, učinit ću”, odgovori Jahve Mojsiju. “TÓa ti uživaš moju blagonaklonost jer te po imenu poznajem.”
18 And he said: Shew me thy glory.
“Pokaži mi svoju slavu”, zamoli Mojsije.
19 He answered: I will shew thee all good, and I will proclaim in the name of the Lord before thee: and I will have mercy on whom I will, and I will be merciful to whom it shall please me.
“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.
20 And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me and live.
A ti”, doda, “moga lica ne možeš vidjeti, jer ne može čovjek mene vidjeti i na životu ostati.
21 And again he said: Behold there is a place with me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock.
Evo mjesta ovdje uza me”, nastavi Jahve. “Stani na pećinu!
22 And when my glory shall pass, I will set thee in a hole of the rock, and protect thee with my right hand, till I pass:
Dok moja slava bude prolazila, stavit ću te u pukotinu pećine i svojom te rukom zakloniti dok ne prođem.
23 And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face thou canst not see.
Onda ću ja svoju ruku maknuti, pa ćeš me s leđa vidjeti. Ali se lice moje ne može vidjeti.”
