Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried aloud; and the people wept that night.
Tada zagraja sva zajednica i poče vikati. I te noći narod plakaše.
2 And all the people murmured against Moses and against Aaron; and the whole congregation said unto them, Oh who would grant that we had died in the land of Egypt! or that we might but die in this wilderness!
Svi su Izraelci mrmljali protiv Mojsija i Arona. Sva im je zajednica govorila: “Kamo sreće da smo pomrli u zemlji egipatskoj! Ili da smo pomrli u ovoj pustinji!
3 And wherefore doth the Lord bring us unto yonder land, to fall by the sword? that our wives and our children may become a prey? is it not better for us to return to Egypt?
Zašto nas Jahve vodi u tu zemlju da padnemo od mača a žene naše i djeca da postanu roblje! Zar nam ne bi bilo bolje da se vratimo u Egipat!”
4 And they said one to another, Let us appoint a chief, and let us return to Egypt.
Jedan je drugome govorio: “Postavimo sebi vođu i vratimo se u Egipat!”
5 Then fell Moses and Aaron on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
Mojsije i Aron padoše ničice pred svom okupljenom izraelskom zajednicom.
6 And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Yephunneh, of those that had spied out the land, rent their garments.
A Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, koji bijahu među onima što su izviđali zemlju, razderaše svoju odjeću.
7 And they said unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, as followeth, The land, through which we have passed to spy it out, this land is exceedingly good.
Zatim rekoše svoj zajednici izraelskoj: “Zemlja kroz koju smo prošli da je istražimo izvanredno je dobra.
8 If the Lord have delight in us, then will he bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which is flowing with milk and honey.
Ako nam Jahve bude dobrostiv, u tu će nas zemlju dovesti i dat će nam je. To je zemlja u kojoj teče med i mlijeko.
9 Only against the Lord do ye not rebel; and then ye need not fear the people of the land; for they are our bread: their shadow is departed from them, while the Lord is with us; fear them not.
Samo, nemojte se buniti protiv Jahve! Ne bojte se naroda one zemlje: tÓa on je zalogaj za nas. Oni su bez zaštite, a s nama je Jahve! Ne bojte ih se!”
10 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones: when the glory of the Lord appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation unto all the children of Israel.
I dok je sva zajednica već mislila da ih kamenuje, pokaza se Slava Jahvina u Šatoru sastanka svima sinovima Izraelovim.
11 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long yet shall this people provoke me? and how long yet will they not believe in me, with all the signs which I have shown in the midst of them?
Tada reče Mojsiju: “Dokle će me taj narod prezirati? Dokle mi neće vjerovati unatoč svim znamenjima što sam ih među njima izvodio?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and root them out, and I will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.
Udarit ću ih pomorom i istrijebiti, a od tebe ću učiniti narod veći i moćniji od njega.”
13 And Moses said unto the Lord, But when the Egyptian hear, from the midst of whom thou hast brought up in thy might this people; —
Onda Mojsije reče Jahvi: “Egipćani su shvatili da si ti, svojom moći, izveo ovaj narod između njih.
14 And when they tell to the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that thou, Lord, art in the midst of this people, that face to face thou, Lord, art seen, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that in a pillar of cloud thou goest before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night; —
Oni su to kazali žiteljima one zemlje. Već su saznali da si ti, Jahve, usred ovog naroda, kojemu se očituješ licem u lice, i da ti, Jahve, u oblaku stojiš nad njima; da obdan u stupu od oblaka, a obnoć u stupu od ognja ideš pred njima.
15 That thou hast killed this people as one man: then will the nations that have heard thy fame, say in this manner,
Zato, ako pobiješ ovaj narod kao jednoga čovjeka, narodi koji su čuli glas o tebi reći će:
16 That because the Lord was not able to bring this people into the land which he had sworn unto them, hath he slain them in the wilderness.
'Jahve je bio nemoćan da dovede ovaj narod u zemlju koju mu je pod zakletvom obećao, i zato ih je poubijao u pustinji.'
17 And now, I beseech thee, let the greatness of the power of the Lord be made manifest, as thou hast spoken, saying,
Zato neka se snaga moga Gospodina uzvisi, kako si najavio rekavši:
18 The Eternal is long-suffering, and abundant in beneficence, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
'Jahve je spor na srdžbu, a bogat milosrđem; podnosi opačinu i prijestup, ali krivca ne ostavlja nekažnjena, nego opačinu otaca kažnjava na djeci do trećega i četvrtog koljena.'
19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of thy beneficence, and as thou hast been indulgent to this people, from Egypt even until hitherto.
Oprosti krivnju ovome narodu po veličini svoga milosrđa, kao što si vodio ovaj narod od Egipta dovde.”
20 And the Lord said, I have pardoned according to thy word.
“Opraštam po riječi tvojoj”, reče Jahve.
21 But as truly as I live, and as all the earth is filled with the glory of the Lord: —
“Ali ipak, tako ja živ bio i slave se Jahvine napunila sva zemlja,
22 That all the men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I have displayed in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice,
ni jedan od ljudi koji su vidjeli slavu moju i znamenja što sam ih izveo u Egiptu i u pustinji, pa me ipak iskušavali već deset puta ne hoteći poslušati moj glas,
23 Shall surely not see the land which I have sworn unto their fathers, yea all those that have provoked me shall not see it.
neće vidjeti zemlje što sam je pod zakletvom obećao njihovim ocima; nitko od onih koji me preziru neće je vidjeti.
24 But my servant Caleb, as a reward that he had another spirit with him, and followed me fully, —therefore will I bring him into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
A slugu svoga Kaleba, jer je u njemu drukčiji duh i jer mi bijaše poslušan, njega ću ja dovesti u zemlju u koju je išao i njegovi će je potomci zaposjesti! Neka Amalečani i Kanaanci samo ostanu u dolini.
25 And the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn you, and set forward into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
Sutra se vratite i krenite u pustinju put Crvenog mora.”
26 And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Još reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
27 How long [shall indulgence be given] to this evil congregation, that murmur against me? the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me, have I heard.
“Dokle će ta opaka zajednica mrmljati protiv mene? Čuo sam tužbe što ih Izraelci na me dižu.
28 Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in my ears, so will I do to you:
Kaži im: Tako ja živ bio, objavljuje Jahve, kako ste na moje uši govorili, tako ću vam i učiniti.
29 In this wilderness shall your carcasses fall, and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward; ye who have murmured against me;
U ovoj pustinji popadat će vaša mrtva tijela: svih vas koji ste ubilježeni u bilo koji vaš popis od dvadeset godina pa naprijed, koji ste rogoborili protiv mene.
30 Truly ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I have lifted up my hand to let you dwell therein; save Caleb the son of Yephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Nećete ući u zemlju na koju sam svoju ruku digao da vas u njoj nastanim, osim Kaleba, sina Jefuneova, i Jošue, sina Nunova.
31 But your little ones of which ye said, They would become a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
A vašu djecu, o kojoj kažete da bi postala roblje, njih ću uvesti da nastane zemlju što ste je vi prezreli.
32 But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.
A vi? Neka vam tjelesa popadaju u ovoj pustinji!
33 And your children shall wander about in the wilderness forty years, and bear your backslidings, until your carcasses be spent in the wilderness.
Vaši sinovi neka lutaju pustinjom četrdeset godina, neka trpe zbog vaše nevjere dok vam ne ispropadaju tjelesa u ovoj pustinji.
34 After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, forty days, yea, each one day for a year, shall ye bear for your iniquities, forty years; and ye shall experience my withdrawal [of protection].
Prema broju dana u koje ste istraživali zemlju - dana četrdeset, za svaki dan jednu godinu - ispaštajte svoje opačine četrdeset godina. Iskusite što znači mene napustiti.
35 I the Lord have spoken it, surely, this will I do unto all this evil congregation that have assembled against me: in this wilderness shall they be spent, and therein shall they die.
Ja, Jahve, to kažem: tako ću postupiti s ovom opakom zajednicom što se sjatila protiv mene. U ovoj istoj pustinji neka završi! Tu neka izgine.”
36 And the men whom Moses had sent to spy out the land, and who returned, and caused all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
A oni ljudi koje Mojsije bijaše poslao da istraže zemlju i koji su nakon povratka potakli svu zajednicu da rogobori protiv njega ozloglašujući zemlju;
37 Even these men, that had brought up the evil report of the land, died by the plague before the Lord.
oni, dakle, ljudi koji su zlobno ozloglasili zemlju bijahu pomoreni pred Jahvom.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Yephunneh, remained alive of those men, who had gone to spy out the land.
Od onih ljudi koji su išli da istraže zemlju ostadoše na životu jedino Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov.
39 And Moses spoke these words unto all the children of Israel; and the people mourned greatly.
Kad je Mojsije prenio te riječi svim Izraelcima, narod se uvelike ražalosti.
40 And they rose up early in the morning, and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, here we are, and we will go up unto the place of which the Lord hath spoken; for we have sinned.
I uranivši ujutro počnu se uspinjati na vrh brda govoreći. “Evo uzlazimo na mjesto o kojem je govorio Jahve jer smo zgriješili.”
41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the order of the Lord? and it will not prosper.
A Mojsije rekne: “Zašto kršite zapovijed Jahvinu? Nećete uspjeti.
42 Do not go up, for the Lord is not among you; that ye may not be smitten before your enemies.
Ne penjite se, da vas ne potuku vaši neprijatelji, jer Jahve nije među vama.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye will fall by the sword; since, because ye are turned away from the Lord, the Lord also will not be with you.
Ta ondje se pred vama nalaze Amalečani i Kanaanci te ćete od mača pasti jer ste se odvratili od Jahve i jer Jahve neće biti s vama.”
44 Yet they persisted to go up unto the top of the mountain; but the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and Moses, did not move out of the camp.
Ali se oni prkosno penjahu prema vrhu brda, iako se ni Kovčeg saveza Jahvina ni Mojsije nisu micali iz tabora.
45 Then came down the Amalekites, and the Canaanites that dwelt on that mountain, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Chormah.
Amalečani i Kanaanci koji su živjeli na onome brdu spuste se, udare po njima i rasprše ih sve do Horme.
