Izlazak 33
1 I reèe Gospod Mojsiju: idi, digni se odatle ti i narod, koji si izveo iz zemlje Misirske, put zemlje za koju se zakleh Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu govoreæi: sjemenu tvojemu daæu je.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Leave this place and go with the people whom you led out of Egypt. Go to the land that I promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give to their descendants.
2 I poslaæu pred tobom anðela, i izagnaæu Hananeje, Amoreje i Heteje i Ferezeje i Jeveje i Jevuseje.
I will send my angel ahead of you all, and I will expel [from that land] the Canaan, Amor, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups.
3 I odvešæe vas u zemlju gdje teèe mlijeko i med; jer neæu sam iæi s tobom zato što si narod tvrdovrat, pa bih te mogao satrti putem.
You will go to a land that will be very good for raising livestock and growing crops [IDM]. But I will not go with you myself, because [if I did that], I might get rid of you while you are traveling, because you are very stubborn [IDM] people.”
4 A narod èuvši ovu zlu rijeè ožalosti se, i niko ne metnu na se svojega nakita.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Tell the Israeli people, ‘You are very stubborn [IDM]. If I would go with you for even a moment, I would completely (get rid of you/wipe you out). Now take off your jewelry [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. Then I will decide how I will punish you (OR, if I should punish you).’” So when Moses/I told to the people what God said, they started to mourn, and they all took off their jewelry.
5 Jer Gospod reèe Mojsiju: kaži sinovima Izrailjevijem: vi ste narod tvrdovrat; doæi æu èasom usred tebe, i istrijebiæu te; a sada skini nakit svoj sa sebe, i znaæu šta æu èiniti s tobom.
6 I poskidaše sa sebe sinovi Izrailjevi nakite svoje kod gore Horiva.
After the Israeli people left Sinai Mountain, they did not wear jewelry any more.
7 A Mojsije uze šator i razape ga sebi iza okola daleko, i nazva ga šator od sastanka, i ko god tražaše Gospoda, dolažaše k šatoru od sastanka iza okola.
[When the Israeli people traveled], whenever they stopped and set up their tents, Moses/I had them set up a tent outside the camp, far from the camp. I called it ‘the Sacred Tent where God and I talk together’. Everyone who wanted Yahweh to decide something for them would go out of the camp to the Sacred Tent.
8 I kad Mojsije iðaše u šator, sav narod ustajaše, i svak stajaše na vratima svojega šatora, i gledahu za Mojsijem dok ne uðe u šator.
Whenever Moses/I went out to the Sacred Tent, all the people would stand at the entrances of their tents and watch him/me until he/I had entered the Sacred Tent.
9 A kad Mojsije ulažaše u šator, spuštaše se stup od oblaka i ustavljaše se na vratima od šatora, i Gospod govoraše s Mojsijem.
When Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent, the tall cloud that looked like a fire would come down and stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and then Yahweh would talk with Moses/me.
10 I sav narod videæi stup od oblaka gdje stoji na vratima od šatora, ustajaše sav narod, i svak se klanjaše na vratima od svojega šatora.
When the people saw the tall cloud at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, they would all prostrate themselves on the ground and worship Yahweh.
11 I Gospod govoraše s Mojsijem licem k licu kao što govori èovjek s prijateljem svojim. Potom se vraæaše Mojsije u oko, a sluga njegov Isus sin Navin, momak, ne izlažaše iz šatora.
Yahweh would speak to Moses/me directly, like someone speaks to his friend. Then Moses/I would return to the camp. But his/my young helper, Joshua, the son of Nun, stayed in the Sacred Tent.
12 I reèe Mojsije Gospodu: gledaj, ti mi kažeš: vodi taj narod. A nijesi mi kazao koga æeš poslati sa mnom, a rekao si: znam te po imenu i našao si milost preda mnom.
Moses/I said to Yahweh, “It is true that you have told me, ‘Lead the people to the land [that I will show you],’ and you have said that you know me well and that you are pleased with me, but you have not told me whom you will send with me!
13 Ako sam dakle našao milost pred tobom, pokaži mi put svoj, da te poznam i naðem milost pred tobom; i vidi da je ovaj narod tvoj narod.
So now, if you are truly pleased with me, I ask you, tell me the things that you intend/plan to do, in order that I will know you [better] and continue to please you. Also, do not forget that the [Israeli] people are the people whom you chose to belong to you.”
14 I reèe Gospod: moje æe lice iæi naprijed, i daæu ti odmor.
Yahweh replied, “I will go with you, and I will give you inner peace.”
15 A Mojsije mu reèe: ako neæe iæi naprijed lice tvoje, nemoj nas kretati odavde.
Moses/I replied, “If you do not go with me, do not force us to leave this place.
16 Jer po èemu æe se poznati da smo našli milost pred tobom, ja i narod tvoj? zar ne po tome što ti ideš s nama? tako æemo se razlikovati ja i narod tvoj od svakoga naroda na zemlji.
The only way that [other] people will know that you are pleased with me and with your people is if you go with us [RHQ]! (If you go with us, [that will show that] we are different from all the other people on the earth./If you do not go with us, what will show that we are different from all the other people on the earth?)” [RHQ]
17 A Gospod reèe Mojsiju: uèiniæu i to što si kazao, jer si našao milost preda mnom i znam te po imenu.
Yahweh replied to Moses/me, “What you have asked is exactly what I will do, because I know you well and I am pleased with you.”
18 Opet reèe Mojsije: molim te, pokaži mi slavu svoju.
Then Moses/I said, “Please let me see your glorious presence!”
19 A Gospod mu reèe: uèiniæu da proðe sve dobro moje ispred tebe, i povikaæu po imenu: Gospod pred tobom. Smilovaæu se kome se smilujem, i požaliæu koga požalim.
Yahweh replied, “I will let you see how great and glorious I am, and I will tell you clearly that my name is Yahweh. I will act very kindly and be merciful to all those whom I choose.
20 I reèe: ali neæeš moæi vidjeti lica mojega, jer ne može èovjek mene vidjeti i ostati živ.
But you are not allowed to see my face, because anyone who sees my face will (die/not continue to stay alive).
21 I reèe Gospod: evo mjesto kod mene, pa stani na stijenu.
[But look]! Here is a place close to me where you can stand on a [large] rock.
22 I kad stane prolaziti slava moja, metnuæu te u rasjelinu kamenu, i zakloniæu te rukom svojom dok ne proðem.
When my glorious presence comes past you, I will put you in a large crevice/opening in the rock, and I will cover your face with my hand until I have passed by.
23 Potom æu dignuti ruku svoju, i vidjeæeš me s leða, a lice se moje ne može vidjeti.
Then I will take my hand away, and you will see my back, but you will not see my face.”
