Exodus 19
1 The Israeli people then left Rephidim, and exactly two months after leaving Egypt, they/we came to the desert near Sinai [Mountain]. They/We set up their/our tents at the base of the mountain.
Tri mjeseca nakon izlaska iz zemlje egipatske, istoga dana, stignu Izraelci u Sinajsku pustinju.
Idući od Refidima, dođu u Sinajsku pustinju i utabore se u pustinji. Postave Izraelci tabor tu pred brdom,
3 Moses/I climbed up the mountain [to talk with] God. Yahweh called to [him/me] from [the top of] the mountain and said, “This is what I want you to say to the Israeli people, the descendants of Jacob:
a Mojsije se popne k Bogu. Jahve ga zovne s brda pa mu rekne: “Ovako kaži domu Jakovljevu, proglasi djeci Izraelovoj:
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You have seen [what I did for all of you] and how I brought you here to me. It was as though I [lifted you up as] an eagle [carries its young eaglets] on its wings [MET].
'Vi ste vidjeli što sam učinio Egipćanima; kako sam vas nosio na orlovskim krilima i k sebi vas doveo.
5 So now, if you will do what I tell you and obey all that I command you, you will be my own people. All the people-groups on the earth are mine, but you will be (dearer/more special) to me than all the other people-groups.
Stoga, budete li mi se vjerno pokoravali i držali moj Savez, vi ćete mi biti predraga svojina mimo sve narode - tÓa moj je sav svijet! -
6 You will be people over whom I will rule, and you will all (be like priests/represent me to other nations as priests represent me to one nation) [MET], and you will be completely dedicated to me.’ That is what you must tell the Israeli people.”
vi ćete mi biti kraljevstvo svećenika, narod svet.' Tim riječima oslovi Izraelce.”
7 So Moses/I went [down the mountain] and summoned the elders/leaders of the people. He/I told them everything that Yahweh had told him/me to tell them.
Mojsije se vrati i sazva narodne starješine te im izloži sve što mu je Jahve naredio.
8 The people all said, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us to do.” Then Moses/I [climbed back up the mountain and] reported to Yahweh what the people had said.
A sav narod uzvrati jednoglasno: “Vršit ćemo sve što je Jahve naredio.” Onda Mojsije prenese odgovor naroda Jahvi.
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[Listen carefully]: I am going to appear to you from inside a thick cloud. When I am speaking to you, the people will hear it, and they will always trust in you.” Then Moses/I went [down the mountain and reported to the people what Yahweh said. Then he/I went back up the mountain and] told Yahweh what the people replied.
Nato Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Ja ću, evo, doći k tebi u gustom oblaku da narod čuje kad budem s tobom govorio i da ti zauvijek vjeruje.” Tako je Mojsije prenio Jahvi odgovor naroda.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go [back down] to the people [again]. [Tell them to] purify themselves today and tomorrow. [Tell them to] wash their clothes, too.
“Pođi k narodu”, reče Jahve Mojsiju, “i posvećuj ga danas i sutra. Neka opere svoju odjeću;
11 They must do that to be ready on the day after tomorrow. On that day I will come down to Sinai Mountain to where all the people can see me.
neka bude gotov prekosutra, jer će prekosutra sići Jahve na brdo Sinaj naočigled svega puka.
12 You must make a boundary around the base of the mountain, and tell them, ‘Be sure that you do not climb the mountain or even go near it. Anyone who even touches the base of the mountain must be executed.’
Postavi naokolo granicu za narod i izdaj naredbu: 'Pripazite da se na brdo ne penjete; da se ni podnožja ne dotičete! Tko se god brda dotakne, smrt će ga snaći.
13 Do not let anyone touch any person or any animal that touches the mountain. You must [kill any person or animal that touches the mountain] by throwing stones at it or shooting it [with arrows]. But when you hear a long [loud] trumpet sound, the people can come close to the [base of the] mountain.”
Nikakva ruka neka ga se ne dotakne, nego neka bude kamenjem zasut ili strijelom ustrijeljen: bio čovjek ili živinče, neka na životu ne ostane.' Na otegnuti zvuk trube neka se na brdo penju.”
14 So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people to purify themselves. They did what Moses/I told them to do, and they also washed their clothes.
Mojsije siđe s brda k narodu i poče posvećivati narod. Oni operu svoju odjeću.
15 Then Moses/I said to the people, “Be ready on the day after tomorrow. And [you men] must not have sex with [EUP] [your wives] until after then.”
“Budite gotovi za prekosutra!” - rekne Mojsije narodu. “Ne primičite se ženi!”
16 Two days later, during the morning, there was thunder and lightning, and a very dark cloud on the mountain. A trumpet sounded very loudly, with the result that the people in the camp shook/trembled because they [were very afraid].
A prekosutra, u osvit dana, prolomi se grmljavina, munje zasijevaše, a gust se oblak nadvi nad brdo. Gromko zaječa truba, zadrhta sav puk koji bijaše u taboru.
17 Then Moses/I led the people outside the camp to meet with God. They stood at the base of the mountain.
Mojsije povede puk iz tabora u susret Bogu. Stadoše na podnožju brda.
18 All of Sinai Mountain was covered in smoke, because Yahweh had descended on it, surrounded by a fire. The smoke rose up like the smoke from [the chimney of] a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.
Brdo Sinaj zavilo se u dim jer je Jahve u obliku ognja sišao na nj. Dizao se dim kao dim iz peći. Sve se brdo silno treslo.
19 As the sound of the trumpet continued to become louder, Moses/I spoke [to Yahweh], and Yahweh answered [him/me] in [a loud voice that sounded like] thunder.
Zvuk trube bivao sve jači. Mojsije je govorio, a Bog mu grmljavinom odgovarao.
20 Then Yahweh came down [again] onto the top of Sinai Mountain, and he summoned Moses/me to come up to the top of the mountain. So Moses/I went up.
Jahve siđe na Sinajsko brdo, na vrhunac, i pozva Jahve Mojsija na vrhunac brda. Mojsije se uspe.
21 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go down again and warn the people not to cross the boundary in order to look [at me]. If they [do] that, many of them will die.
Sad Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Siđi i opomeni narod da ne bi provalio prema Jahvi da ga vidi. Mnogo bi ih poginulo.
22 Also, the priests who habitually come near me must purify themselves. If they do not do that, I will punish them.”
I sami svećenici, koji dolaze blizu Jahvi, moraju se očistiti, da ih Jahve ne uništi.”
23 Then Moses/I said to Yahweh, “The people will not climb the mountain, because you commanded them, saying, ‘Set a boundary around the mountain, to make it sacred/taboo.’”
“Narod se ne može popeti na brdo Sinaj”, odgovori Mojsije Jahvi, “jer si nas sam ti opomenuo: 'Postavi granice naokolo brda i proglasi ga svetim.'”
24 Yahweh replied, “Go down the mountain, and bring Aaron back up with you. But do not allow the priests or other people to cross the boundary to come up to me. If they cross it, I will punish them.”
“Siđi pa se opet popni zajedno s Aronom”, odgovori mu Jahve. “Ali neka svećenici i narod ne navaljuju da se popnu prema Jahvi da ne izginu.”
25 So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people [what Yahweh had said].
Mojsije siđe k narodu i sve mu kaza.
