Exodus 24
1 He said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.
Potom reče Mojsiju: “Uzađi k Jahvi - ti, Aron, Nadab i Abihu i sedamdeset izraelskih starješina. Poklonite se izdaljega!
2 Moses alone shall come near to the LORD, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”
Neka se sam Mojsije primakne k Jahvi! Oni neka se ne primiču, a puk neka se s njim ne penje.”
3 Moses came and told the people all the LORD’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which the LORD has spoken will we do.”
Dođe Mojsije i kaza narodu sve riječi Jahvine i sve odredbe. A sav puk odgovori u jedan glas: “Sve riječi što ih Jahve reče, vršit ćemo.”
4 Moses wrote all the LORD’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
Tada Mojsije popiše sve riječi Jahvine. A ujutro podrani te podigne žrtvenik na podnožju brda i dvanaest stupova za dvanaest plemena Izraelovih.
5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to the LORD.
Zatim naloži mladim Izraelcima da prinesu žrtve paljenice i da žrtvuju Jahvi junce kao žrtve pričesnice.
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
Mojsije uhvati krv; polovinu krvi ulije u posude, a polovinu izlije po žrtveniku.
7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that the LORD has said, and be obedient.”
Prihvati zatim Knjigu Saveza pa je narodu glasno pročita, a narod uzvrati: “Sve što je Jahve rekao, izvršit ćemo i poslušat ćemo.”
8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.”
Mojsije potom uzme krvi te poškropi narod govoreći: “Ovo je krv Saveza koji je Jahve s vama uspostavio na temelju svih ovih riječi.”
9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
Onda se uspne Mojsije s Aronom, Nadabom i Abihuom i sa sedamdeset starješina Izraelovih.
10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.
Oni vidješe Boga Izraelova: podnožje njegovim nogama kao da je bilo od dragoga kamena safira, sjajem nalik na samo nebo.
11 He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
Ni ruke svoje nije pružio na izabranike Izraelaca: slobodno su Boga motrili i jeli i pili.
12 The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”
Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Popni se k meni na brdo i pričekaj ondje. Dat ću ti kamene ploče sa zakonom i zapovijedima koje sam za njihovu pouku napisao.”
13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.
Ustane Mojsije i njegov pomoćnik Jošua te se Mojsije popne na brdo Božje.
14 He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”
A starješinama reče: “Čekajte nas ovdje dok se ne vratimo. Eto je s vama Aron i Hur. Tko imadne kakvu razmiricu, neka se obrati na njih.”
15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
Zatim Mojsije uzađe na brdo, a onda oblak prekri brdo.
16 The LORD’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.
Slava se Jahvina nastani na Sinajskom brdu i oblak ga obavijaše šest dana. Sedmoga dana zovne Jahve Mojsija isred oblaka.
17 The appearance of the LORD’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
Slava Jahvina na vrhuncu brda bijaše očima Izraelaca kao vatra koja sažiže. Mojsije zađe u oblak i uspne se na brdo.
18 Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći boravio je Mojsije na brdu.
