Numbers 14
1 That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.
Tada zagraja sva zajednica i poče vikati. I te noći narod plakaše.
2 The next day they all complained to Aaron and Moses/me. All the men said, “We wish that we had died in Egypt, or in this desert!
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 Why is Yahweh bringing us to this land, where we men will be killed with swords? And our wives and children will be taken away [to be slaves]. [Instead of going to Canaan]. It would be 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 Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”
Jedan je drugome govorio: “Postavimo sebi vođu i vratimo se u Egipat!”
5 Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.
Mojsije i Aron padoše ničice pred svom okupljenom izraelskom zajednicom.
6 Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].
A Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, koji bijahu među onima što su izviđali zemlju, razderaše svoju odjeću.
7 They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.
Zatim rekoše svoj zajednici izraelskoj: “Zemlja kroz koju smo prošli da je istražimo izvanredno je dobra.
8 If Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, and he will give it to us.
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 So do not rebel against Yahweh! And do not be afraid of the people in that land! We will (gobble them up/completely destroy them) [MET]! They do not have anyone who will protect them, but Yahweh will be with us [and help us]. So do not be afraid of them!”
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 Then all the Israeli people talked about [killing Caleb and Joshua by] throwing stones at them. But [suddenly] Yahweh’s glory appeared to them at the Sacred Tent.
I dok je sva zajednica već mislila da ih kamenuje, pokaza se Slava Jahvina u Šatoru sastanka svima sinovima Izraelovim.
11 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “How long will these people reject me [RHQ]? I am tired of them not believing in what I [can do], in spite of all the miracles I have performed among them [RHQ]!
Tada reče Mojsiju: “Dokle će me taj narod prezirati? Dokle mi neće vjerovati unatoč svim znamenjima što sam ih među njima izvodio?
12 So I will cause a (plague/widespread sickness) to strike them and get rid of them. But I will cause your [descendants] to become a great nation. They will be a nation that is much greater and stronger than these people are.”
Udarit ću ih pomorom i istrijebiti, a od tebe ću učiniti narod veći i moćniji od njega.”
13 But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “[Please do not do that, because] the people of Egypt will hear about it! You brought these Israeli people from Egypt by your great power,
Onda Mojsije reče Jahvi: “Egipćani su shvatili da si ti, svojom moći, izveo ovaj narod između njih.
14 and the people of Egypt will tell that to the [descendants of Canaan] who live in this land. Yahweh, they have already heard about you. They know that you have (been with/helped) these people and that they have seen you face-to-face. They have heard that your cloud is like a huge pillar that stays over them, and by using that cloud you lead them during the day, and the cloud becomes like a fire at night [to give them light].
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 If you kill these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,
Zato, ako pobiješ ovaj narod kao jednoga čovjeka, narodi koji su čuli glas o tebi reći će:
16 ‘Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to give to them, so he killed them in the desert.’
'Jahve je bio nemoćan da dovede ovaj narod u zemlju koju mu je pod zakletvom obećao, i zato ih je poubijao u pustinji.'
17 “So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,
Zato neka se snaga moga Gospodina uzvisi, kako si najavio rekavši:
18 ‘I do not quickly become angry; instead, I love people very much, and I forgive people for having sinned and having disobeyed my laws. But I will always punish [LIT] people who are guilty of doing what is wrong. When parents sin, I will punish them, but I will also punish their children and their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren and their great-great-grandchildren.’
'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 So, because you love people like that, forgive these people for the sins that they have committed, just like you have continued to forgive them ever since they left Egypt.”
Oprosti krivnju ovome narodu po veličini svoga milosrđa, kao što si vodio ovaj narod od Egipta dovde.”
20 Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.
“Opraštam po riječi tvojoj”, reče Jahve.
21 But, just as certainly as I live and that people all over the world [can see] my (glory/glorious power), [I solemnly declare this: ]
“Ali ipak, tako ja živ bio i slave se Jahvine napunila sva zemlja,
22 All these people saw my glory and all the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me, and many times they tested [whether they could continue to do evil things without my punishing them].
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 Because of that, not one of them will see the land that I promised their ancestors [that I would give to them]. No one who rejected me will see that land.
neće vidjeti zemlje što sam je pod zakletvom obećao njihovim ocima; nitko od onih koji me preziru neće je vidjeti.
24 But Caleb, who serves me [well], is different from the others. He obeys me completely. So I will bring him into that land that he has already seen, and his descendants will inherit/possess some of 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 So, since the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who are living in the valleys [in Canaan are very strong], when you leave here tomorrow, [instead of traveling toward Canaan], go back along the road through the desert towards the Red Sea.”
Sutra se vratite i krenite u pustinju put Crvenog mora.”
26 Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,
Još reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
27 “How long will the wicked people of this nation keep complaining about me [RHQ]? I have heard everything that they have grumbled/complained against me.
“Dokle će ta opaka zajednica mrmljati protiv mene? Čuo sam tužbe što ih Izraelci na me dižu.
28 So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.
Kaži im: Tako ja živ bio, objavljuje Jahve, kako ste na moje uši govorili, tako ću vam i učiniti.
29 [I will cause] all of you to die here in this desert! Because you grumbled about me, none of you who are more than 20 years old and who were counted when Moses counted everyone
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 will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.
Nećete ući u zemlju na koju sam svoju ruku digao da vas u njoj nastanim, osim Kaleba, sina Jefuneova, i Jošue, sina Nunova.
31 You said that your children would be taken from you [to become slaves], but I will take them into the land, and they will enjoy living in the land that you (rejected/said that you could not conquer).
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 [adults], you will die here in this desert.
A vi? Neka vam tjelesa popadaju u ovoj pustinji!
33 And like shepherds [wander around in the desert as they take care of their sheep], your children will wander around in this desert for 40 years. Because you adults were not loyal/faithful to me, your children will suffer until you all die in the desert.
Vaši sinovi neka lutaju pustinjom četrdeset godina, neka trpe zbog vaše nevjere dok vam ne ispropadaju tjelesa u ovoj pustinji.
34 You will suffer for your sins for 40 years. That will be one year for each of the 40 days that the twelve men explored Canaan land. And I will be like an enemy to you.’
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 [This will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it! I will do these things to every one in this group who conspired against me. They (conspired against/decided together to reject) me here in the desert, and they will all die right here in this desert!”
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 Then the ten men [who had explored Canaan and] who had urged the people to rebel against Yahweh by giving reports that discouraged the people
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 were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.
oni, dakle, ljudi koji su zlobno ozloglasili zemlju bijahu pomoreni pred Jahvom.
38 Of the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.
Od onih ljudi koji su išli da istraže zemlju ostadoše na životu jedino Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov.
39 When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.
Kad je Mojsije prenio te riječi svim Izraelcima, narod se uvelike ražalosti.
40 So the people got up early the next morning and started to go toward the hilly area in Canaan. They said, “[We know that] we have sinned, but now we [are ready to] enter the land that Yahweh promised to give to us.”
I uranivši ujutro počnu se uspinjati na vrh brda govoreći. “Evo uzlazimo na mjesto o kojem je govorio Jahve jer smo zgriješili.”
41 But Moses/I said, “Yahweh commanded you [to return to the desert, so] why are you now disobeying him [RHQ]? It will not (succeed/be possible).
A Mojsije rekne: “Zašto kršite zapovijed Jahvinu? Nećete uspjeti.
42 Do not try to enter the land now! [If you try], your enemies will defeat you, because Yahweh will not (be with/help) you.
Ne penjite se, da vas ne potuku vaši neprijatelji, jer Jahve nije među vama.
43 When you begin to fight the descendants of Amalek and Canaan, they will slaughter you! Yahweh will abandon you, because you have abandoned him.”
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 But even though Moses/I did not leave the camp, and the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments was not taken from the camp, the people began to go towards the hilly area in Canaan.
Ali se oni prkosno penjahu prema vrhu brda, iako se ni Kovčeg saveza Jahvina ni Mojsije nisu micali iz tabora.
45 Then the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who lived in that hilly area came down and attacked them and chased them as far [south] as [the town of] Hormah.
Amalečani i Kanaanci koji su živjeli na onome brdu spuste se, udare po njima i rasprše ih sve do Horme.
