Exodus 33

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, 'Go, ascend from this [place], thou and the people, whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give it,'

Jahve reče Mojsiju: “Idi! Putuj odavde, ti i narod koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu da ću je dati njihovim potomcima.

2 (and I have sent before thee a messenger, and have cast out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, )

Pred tobom ću poslati anđela; istjerat ću Kanaance, Amorejce, Hetite, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce.

3 unto a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up in thy midst, for thou [art] a stiff-necked people — lest I consume thee in the way.'

Idite u zemlju kojom teče mlijeko i med. Ja s vama neću poći - jer ste narod tvrde šije - da vas putem ne istrijebim.”

4 And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none put his ornaments on him.

Kad narod ču ove oštre riječi, poče tugovati. I nitko više ne stavi na se svoga nakita.

5 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Say unto the sons of Israel, Ye [are] a stiff-necked people; one moment — I come up into thy midst, and have consumed thee; and now, put down thine ornaments from off thee, and I know what I do to thee;'

Jer reče Jahve Mojsiju: “Kaži Izraelcima: 'Vi ste narod tvrde šije. Kad bih ja s vama išao samo čas, uništio bih vas. Stoga skinite svoj nakit, a ja ću vidjeti što ću s vama učiniti.'”

6 and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at mount Horeb.

Tako su od brda Horeba Izraelci bili bez nakita.

7 And Moses taketh the tent, and hath stretched it out at the outside of the camp, afar off from the camp, and hath called it, 'Tent of Meeting;' and it hath come to pass, every one seeking Jehovah goeth out unto the tent of meeting, which [is] at the outside of the camp.

Mojsije uze Šator i razape ga izvan tabora, daleko od tabora. I nazva ga Šator sastanka. Tko bi se god htio obratiti Jahvi, pošao bi k Šatoru sastanka, koji se nalazio izvan tabora.

8 And it hath come to pass, at the going out of Moses unto the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses, until his going into the tent.

Kad bi god Mojsije pošao u Šator, sav bi se narod digao; svatko bi stajao kod ulaza u svoj šator i gledao za Mojsijem dok ne bi ušao u Šator.

9 And it hath come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the tent, the pillar of the cloud cometh down, and hath stood at the opening of the tent, and He hath spoken with Moses;

A kad bi Mojsije ušao u Šator, stup bi se oblaka spustio i ostajao na ulazu u Šator dok je Jahve s Mojsijem razgovarao.

10 and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent.

Videći kako stup oblaka stoji na ulazu Šatora, sav bi se narod tada dizao i svatko bi se duboko klanjao na vratima svoga šatora.

11 And Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses face unto face, as a man speaketh unto his friend; and he hath turned back unto the camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, departeth not out of the tent.

Tako bi Jahve razgovarao s Mojsijem licem u lice, kao što čovjek govori s prijateljem. Mojsije bi se poslije vratio u tabor, ali se njegov pomoćnik Jošua, sin Nunov, mlađarac, iz Šatora ne bi micao.

12 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, 'See, Thou art saying unto me, Bring up this people, and Thou hast not caused me to know whom Thou dost send with me; and Thou hast said, I have known thee by name, and also thou hast found grace in Mine eyes.

Mojsije oslovi Jahvu: “Vidi, ti si meni rekao: 'Povedi ovaj narod', ali mi nisi objavio koga ćeš sa mnom poslati. Još si mi rekao: 'Znam te po imenu, i ti uživaš moju blagonaklonost.'

13 'And now, if, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, cause me to know, I pray Thee, Thy way, and I know Thee, so that I find grace in Thine eyes, and consider that this nation [is] Thy people;'

Stoga, ako uživam tvoju blagonaklonost, objavi mi svoje putove da te shvatim i da dalje uživam tvoju blagonaklonost. Promisli također da je ova svjetina tvoj narod.”

14 and He saith, 'My presence doth go, and I have given rest to thee.'

“Ja ću osobno s tobom poći”, odgovori Jahve, “i počinak ti priuštiti.”

15 And he saith unto Him, 'If Thy presence is not going — take us not up from this [place];

“Ako ti ne pođeš”, nadoda Mojsije, “odavde nas i ne izvodi.

16 and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in Thine eyes — I and Thy people — is it not in Thy going with us? and we have been distinguished — I and Thy people — from all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.'

TÓa kako će se znati da uživamo tvoju naklonost, ja i tvoj narod? Po tome što ideš s nama. Time ćemo se samo razlikovati ja i tvoj narod među svim narodima koji su na licu zemlje.”

17 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Even this thing which thou hast spoken I do; for thou hast found grace in Mine eyes, and I know thee by name.'

“I ovo što si zatražio, učinit ću”, odgovori Jahve Mojsiju. “TÓa ti uživaš moju blagonaklonost jer te po imenu poznajem.”

18 And he saith, 'Shew me, I pray Thee, Thine honour;'

“Pokaži mi svoju slavu”, zamoli Mojsije.

19 and He saith, 'I cause all My goodness to pass before thy face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I love.'

“Dopustit ću da ispred tebe prođe sav moj sjaj”, odgovori, “i pred tobom ću izustiti svoje ime Jahve. Bit ću milostiv kome hoću da milostiv budem; smilovat ću se komu hoću da se smilujem.

20 He saith also, 'Thou art unable to see My face, for man doth not see Me, and live;'

A ti”, doda, “moga lica ne možeš vidjeti, jer ne može čovjek mene vidjeti i na životu ostati.

21 Jehovah also saith, 'Lo, a place [is] by Me, and thou hast stood on the rock,

Evo mjesta ovdje uza me”, nastavi Jahve. “Stani na pećinu!

22 and it hath come to pass, in the passing by of Mine honour, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread out My hands over thee, until My passing by,

Dok moja slava bude prolazila, stavit ću te u pukotinu pećine i svojom te rukom zakloniti dok ne prođem.

23 and I have turned aside My hands, and thou hast seen My back parts, and My face is not seen.'

Onda ću ja svoju ruku maknuti, pa ćeš me s leđa vidjeti. Ali se lice moje ne može vidjeti.”
