Izlazak 24

1 I reèe Mojsiju: izaði gore ka Gospodu ti i Aron i Nadav i Avijud i sedamdeset starješina Izrailjevih, i poklonite se izdaleka.

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come to me, up [on top of this mountain], you and Aaron and [his sons] Nadab and Abihu. Also [take along] 70 of the Israeli elders/leaders. While you are still some distance [from the top of the mountain], prostrate yourselves [on the ground] and worship me.

2 I Mojsije sam neka pristupi ka Gospodu, a oni neka ne pristupe; i narod neka ne ide na gore s njim.

Moses, [I will allow] you alone to come near to me. The others must not come near, and the [rest of the] people must not come up the mountain.”

3 I doðe Mojsije, i kaza narodu sve rijeèi Gospodnje i sve zakone. I odgovori narod jednijem glasom i rekoše: èiniæemo sve što je rekao Gospod.

Moses/I went and told the people everything that Yahweh had said and all that he had commanded. The people all replied together, saying, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us [to do].”

4 I napisa Mojsije sve rijeèi Gospodnje, i ustavši rano naèini oltar pod gorom i dvanaest stupova za dvanaest plemena Izrailjevih.

Then Moses/I wrote down everything that Yahweh had commanded. Early the next morning Moses/I built a [stone] altar. He/I also set up twelve stones, one for each of the Israeli tribes.

5 I posla mladiæe izmeðu sinova Izrailjevih, koji prinesoše žrtve paljenice i prinesoše teoce na žrtve zahvalne Gospodu.

He/I also selected some young men. They burned sacrifices to Yahweh and they also sacrificed some cattle [that they did not burn completely], for the purpose of maintaining fellowship with Yahweh.

6 I uzevši Mojsije polovinu krvi, metnu u zdjele, a polovinu krvi izli na oltar.

Moses/I took half of the blood of the animals that were slaughtered and put it in bowls. The other half of the blood [he/I] threw/splashed against the altar.

7 I uze knjigu zavjetnu i proèita narodu. A oni rekoše: što je god rekao Gospod èiniæemo i slušaæemo.

Then he/I took the scroll on which he/I had written [everything that Yahweh had commanded in] the agreement that he had made, and he/I read it [aloud], while all the people were listening. Then all the people said, “We will do all that Yahweh has told us to do. We will obey [everything].”

8 A Mojsije uze krv, i pokropi njom narod, i reèe: evo krv zavjeta, koji uèini Gospod s vama za sve rijeèi ove.

Then Moses/I took the blood [that was in the bowls] and threw/splashed it on the people. He/I said, “This is the blood [that (confirms/puts into effect)] the agreement that Yahweh made with you when he gave you all these commands.”

9 Potom otide gore Mojsije i Aron, Nadav i Avijud, i sedamdeset starješina Izrailjevih.

Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],

10 I vidješe Boga Izrailjeva, i pod nogama njegovijem kao djelo od kamena safira i kao nebo kad je vedro.

and they/we saw God, the one whom the Israeli people worship. Under his feet was something like a pavement [made of expensive blue stones called] sapphires. They were as clear as the sky is [when there are no clouds].

11 I ne pruži ruke svoje na izabrane izmeðu sinova Izrailjevih, nego vidješe Boga, pa jedoše i piše.

God did not harm [MTY] those Israeli elders/leaders [because of their having seen him]. They saw God, and they ate and drank together! [Then we all went back down the mountain].

12 I reèe Gospod Mojsiju: popni se k meni na goru, i ostani ovdje, i daæu ti ploèe od kamena, zakon i zapovijesti, koje sam napisao, da ih uèiš.

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come up to me [again] on [top of this] mountain. While you are here, I will give you [two] stone slabs on which I have written all the laws [DOU] that I have given to you to instruct/teach [the people].”

13 Tada usta Mojsije s Isusom, koji ga služaše, i izaðe Mojsije na goru Božiju.

So Moses/I told the elders, “Stay here [with the other people] until we return! Do not forget that Aaron and Hur will be with you. So if anyone has a dispute [while I am gone], he can go to those two men.” Then Moses/I went with his/my servant Joshua [part of the way] up the mountain that [was dedicated to] God.

14 A starješinama reèe: sjedite tu dok se vratimo k vama; a eto Aron i Or s vama; ko bi imao što, neka ide k njima.

15 I otide Mojsije na goru, a oblak pokri goru.

Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.

16 I bijaše slava Gospodnja na gori Sinajskoj, i oblak je pokrivaše šest dana; a u sedmi dan viknu Mojsija ispred oblaka.

The (glory/brilliant light) of Yahweh came down on the mountain and covered it for six days. On the seventh day, Yahweh called to Moses/me from the middle of the cloud.

17 I slava Gospodnja bješe po viðenju kao oganj koji sažiže na vrh gore pred sinovima Izrailjevim.

When the Israeli people [looked at] the top of the mountain, the glory of Yahweh was like a big fire that was burning [there].

18 I Mojsije uðe usred oblaka, i pope se na goru; i osta Mojsije na gori èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi.

Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
