Exodus 19
1 In the third month after the children of Israel were gone forth 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 And when they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount.
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 unto God, and the LORD called unto 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 did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself.
›Videli ste, kaj sem storil Egipčanom in kako sem vas nosil na orljih perutih in vas privedel k sebi.
5 Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all 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 unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto 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 for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD 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 the LORD hath spoken we will do.' And Moses reported the words of the people unto the LORD.
Vse ljudstvo je skupaj odgovorilo ter reklo: »Vse, kar je Gospod govoril, bomo storili.« In Mojzes je besede ljudstva ponovil Gospodu.
9 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee for ever.' And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
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 the LORD said unto Moses: 'Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments,
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Pojdi k ljudstvu in posvečuj jih danes in jutri in naj si operejo svoja oblačila
11 and be ready against the third day; for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
in bodite pripravljeni za tretji dan, kajti tretji dan bo Gospod prišel dol, v očeh vsega ljudstva, na goro Sinaj.
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying: Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it; whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely 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 no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live; when the ram's horn soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.'
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 went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments.
Mojzes je odšel dol z gore k ljudstvu in ljudstvo posvetil, in ti so si oprali svoja oblačila.
15 And he said unto the people: 'Be ready against the third day; come not near a woman.'
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 thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a horn exceeding loud; and all the people that were 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 forth the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
Mojzes je ljudstvo privedel iz tabora, da se sreča z Bogom. Stali so pri spodnjem delu gore.
18 Now mount Sinai was altogether on smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked 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 when the voice of the horn waxed louder and louder, 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 the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount; and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mount; 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 the LORD said unto Moses: 'Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD 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 let the priests also, that come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.'
Naj se tudi duhovniki, ki pridejo bliže h Gospodu, posvétijo, da ne bi Gospod izbruhnil nad njimi.«
23 And Moses said unto the LORD: 'The people cannot come up to mount Sinai; for thou didst charge us, saying: Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify 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 the LORD said unto him: 'Go, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest He break forth upon 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 unto the people, and told them.
Tako je Mojzes odšel dol k ljudstvu in jim spregovoril.
