< Numbers 14 >
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
Vsa skupnost je povzdignila svoj glas in zajokala in ljudstvo je to noč jokalo.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
Vsi Izraelovi otroci so godrnjali zoper Mojzesa in zoper Arona in celotna skupnost jima je rekla: »Da bi Bog dal, da bi umrli v egiptovski deželi! Ali da bi Bog dal, da bi umrli v tej divjini!
3 And wherefore doth the LORD bring us unto this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones shall be a prey: were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
Zakaj nas je Gospod privedel v to deželo, da pademo pod mečem, da bi bile naše žene in naši otroci plen? Ali ne bi bilo za nas bolje, da se vrnemo v Egipt?«
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
Drug drugemu so rekli: »Postavimo si poveljnika in se vrnimo v Egipt.«
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
Potem sta Mojzes in Aron padla na svoja obraza pred vsem zborom skupnosti Izraelovih otrok.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that spied out the land, rent their clothes:
Nunov sin Józue in Jefunéjev sin Kaléb, ki sta bila izmed tistih, ki sta preiskala deželo, sta pretrgala svoja oblačila
7 and they spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceeding good land.
in spregovorila vsej skupini Izraelovih otrok, rekoč: »Dežela, skozi katero sva šla, da jo preiščeva, je silno dobra dežela.
8 If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it unto us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
Če se Gospod razveseljuje v nas, potem nas bo privedel v to deželo in nam jo izročil; deželo, v kateri tečeta mleko in med.
9 Only rebel not against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is removed from over them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
Samo ne uprite se zoper Gospoda niti se ne bojte ljudstva dežele, kajti oni so za nas kruh. Njihova obramba je odšla od njih, Gospod pa je z nami. Ne bojte se jih.«
10 But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting unto all the children of Israel.
Toda vsa skupnost ju je zaukazala kamnati s kamni. In Gospodova slava se je prikazala v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti, pred vsemi Izraelovimi otroki.
11 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?
Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Doklej me bo to ljudstvo še dražilo? Kako dolgo bo, preden mi bodo verovali zaradi vseh znamenj, ki sem jih prikazal med njimi?
12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a nation greater and mightier than they.
Udaril jih bom s kužno boleznijo in jih razdedinil in iz tebe bom naredil večji narod ter mogočnejši, kakor so oni.«
13 And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it; for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;
Mojzes pa je Gospodu rekel: »Potem bodo Egipčani to slišali, (kajti v svoji moči si to ljudstvo privedel izmed njih)
14 and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: they have heard that thou LORD art in the midst of this people; for thou LORD art seen face to face, and thy cloud standeth over them, and thou goest before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
in bodo to povedali prebivalcem te dežele, kajti slišali so, da si ti Gospod med tem ljudstvom, da si ti Gospod, viden iz obličja v obličje in da tvoj oblak stoji nad njimi in da greš pred njimi, podnevi v oblačnem stebru, ponoči pa v ognjenem stebru.
15 Now if thou shalt kill this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
Torej če boš pobil vse to ljudstvo kakor enega človeka, potem bodo narodi, ki so slišali o tvojem slovesu, govorili, rekoč:
16 Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
›Ker Gospod tega ljudstva ni mogel privesti v deželo, ki jim jo je prisegel, jih je zato umoril v divjini.‹
17 And now, I pray thee, let the power of the Lord be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
Sedaj te rotim, naj bo moč mojega Gospoda velika, glede na to, kakor si govoril, rekoč:
18 The LORD is slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
› Gospod je potrpežljiv in zelo usmiljen, ki odpušča krivičnost in prestopek in nikakor ne očisti krivega, ki obiskuje krivičnost očetov na otrocih do tretjega in četrtega rodu.‹
19 Pardon, I pray thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and according as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
Odpusti, rotim te, krivičnost tega ljudstva, glede na veličino svojega usmiljenja in kakor si odpuščal temu ljudstvu, od Egipta, celo do sedaj.«
20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
Gospod je rekel: »Odpustil sem glede na tvojo besedo,
21 but in very deed, as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD;
vendar kakor resnično jaz živim, bo vsa zemlja napolnjena z Gospodovo slavo.
22 because all those men which have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
Ker so vsi tisti ljudje, ki so videli mojo slavo in moje čudeže, ki sem jih storil v Egiptu in v divjini in so me skušali sedaj teh desetkrat in niso prisluhnili mojemu glasu;
23 surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that despised me see it:
zagotovo ne bodo videli dežele, ki sem jo prisegel njihovim očetom niti je ne bo videl nobeden izmed tistih, ki so me dražili.
24 but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
Toda ker je imel moj služabnik Kaléb, v sebi drugega duha in mi je popolnoma sledil, ga bom privedel v deželo, v katero je odšel, in njegovo seme jo bo vzelo v last.
25 Now the Amalekite and the Canaanite dwell in the valley: tomorrow turn ye, and get you into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
(Torej Amálečani in Kánaanci so prebivali v dolini.) Jutri se obrnite in se odpravite v divjino, po poti Rdečega morja.«
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu in Aronu, rekoč:
27 How long [shall I bear] with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
»Doklej bom še prenašal to zlo skupnost, ki godrnja zoper mene? Slišal sem mrmranja Izraelovih otrok, ki mrmrajo zoper mene.
28 Say unto them, As I live, saith the LORD, surely as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
Reci jim: › Kakor resnično jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod, ›kakor ste govorili v moja ušesa, tako bom jaz storil vam.
29 your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
Vaša trupla bodo padla v tej divjini in vsi, kar vas je bilo izmed vas preštetih, glede na vaše celotno število, od dvajset let stari in navzgor, ki ste godrnjali zoper mene.
30 surely ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I lifted up my hand that I would make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Zagotovo ne boste prišli v deželo, glede katere sem prisegel, da v njej prebivate, razen Jefunéjevega sina Kaléba in Nunovega sina Józueta.
31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have rejected.
Toda vaše malčke, za katere ste rekli, da naj bi bili plen, te bom privedel noter in oni bodo spoznali deželo, ki ste jo vi prezirali.
32 But as for you, your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.
Toda kar se tiče vas, bodo vaša trupla padla v tej divjini.
33 And your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be consumed in the wilderness.
Vaši otroci se bodo štirideset let potikali po divjini in nosili vaša vlačugarstva, dokler ne bodo vaša trupla propadla v divjini.
34 After the number of the days in which ye spied out the land, even forty days, for every day a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my alienation.
Po številu dni, v katerih ste preiskovali deželo, torej štirideset dni, vsak dan za leto, boste nosili svoje krivičnosti, celó štirideset let in spoznali boste moj odmik od obljube.‹
35 I the LORD have spoken, surely this will I do unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
Jaz, Gospod, sem rekel: ›Zagotovo bom tako storil vsej tej zli skupnosti, ki je skupaj zbrana zoper mene. V tej divjini bodo použiti in tam bodo umrli.‹«
36 And the men, which Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up an evil report against the land,
Možje, ki jih je Mojzes poslal, da preiščejo deželo, ki so se vrnili in vso skupnost pripravili, da je mrmrala zoper njega s prinašanjem obrekovanja nad deželo,
37 even those men that did bring up an evil report of the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
celo ti možje, ki so nad deželo prinesli zlo poročilo, so zaradi kuge umrli pred Gospodom.
38 But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, remained alive of those men that went to spy out the land.
Toda Nunov sin Józue in Jefunéjev sin Kaléb, ki sta bila izmed mož, ki so odšli, da preiščejo deželo, sta še vedno živela.
39 And Moses told these words unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
Mojzes je te stvari povedal vsem Izraelovim otrokom in ljudstvo je silno žalovalo.
40 And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up to the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
Vstali so zgodaj zjutraj in se povzpeli na vrh gore, rekoč: »Glej! Mi smo tukaj in šli bomo gor, na kraj, ki nam ga je Gospod obljubil, kajti grešili smo.«
41 And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD, seeing it shall not prosper?
Mojzes je rekel: »Zakaj sedaj prestopate Gospodovo zapoved? Toda to ne bo uspelo.
42 Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten down before your enemies.
Ne pojdite gor, kajti Gospoda ni med vami, da ne boste udarjeni pred svojimi sovražniki.
43 For there the Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned back from following the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
Kajti Amalečani in Kánaanci so tam pred vami in vi boste padli pod mečem, ker ste obrnjeni proč od Gospoda, zato Gospod ne bo z vami.«
44 But they presumed to go up to the top of the mountain: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
Vendar pa so si predrznili, da gredo na vrh hriba. Vendar skrinja Gospodove zaveze in Mojzes nista odšla iz tabora.
45 Then the Amalekite came down, and the Canaanite which dwelt in that mountain, and smote them and beat them down, even unto Hormah.
Potem so prišli dol Amálečani in Kánaanci, ki so prebivali na tem hribu in jih udarili ter porazili, celó do Horme.
