2 Mojzes 24

1 Mojzesu je rekel: »Pridite gor h Gospodu, ti in Aron, Nadáb in Abihú ter sedemdeset Izraelovih starešin in obožujte daleč stran.«

The Lord told Moses, “Come up to the Lord—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders. You are to worship at a distance.

2 Samo Mojzes pa bo prišel blizu Gospodu, toda oni naj ne pridejo blizu; niti ne bo ljudstvo z njim šlo gor.

Only Moses may approach the Lord—the others must not come near. The people may not go up the mountain with him.”

3 Mojzes je prišel in ljudstvu povedal vse Gospodove besede in vse sodbe, in vse ljudstvo je odgovorilo z enim glasom ter reklo: »Vse besede, ki jih je povedal Gospod, bomo izpolnjevali.«

Moses went and told the people all the Lord's instructions and regulations. They all responded together: “We will do everything the Lord says!”

4 Mojzes je zapisal vse Gospodove besede in vstal zgodaj zjutraj in pod hribom zgradil oltar in dvanajst stebrov, glede na dvanajst Izraelovih rodov.

Moses wrote down everything the Lord had said. He got up early the following morning and built an altar at the bottom of the mountain, and set up twelve pillars for each of the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 Poslal je mladeniče izmed Izraelovih otrok, ki so darovali žgalne daritve in žrtvovali mirovne daritve volov Gospodu.

Then he sent out some young Israelite men who went and offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the Lord.

6 Mojzes je vzel polovico od krvi ter jo dal v umivalnike, polovico od krvi pa je poškropil na oltar.

Moses put half of the blood into bowls, and sprinkled the other half on the altar.

7 Vzel je knjigo zaveze in bral v občinstvu ljudstva, in rekli so: »Vse, kar je rekel Gospod, bomo izpolnjevali in bomo poslušni.«

Then he picked up the Book of the Agreement and read it to the people. They replied, “We will do everything the Lord says. We will obey.”

8 Mojzes je vzel kri in jo poškropil na ljudstvo ter rekel: »Poglejte kri zaveze, ki jo je Gospod z vami sklenil glede vseh teh besed.«

So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the agreement that the Lord has made with you following these terms.”

9 Potem so šli gor Mojzes in Aron, Nadáb in Abihú ter sedemdeset izmed Izraelovih starešin,

Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders climbed up the mountain,

10 in videli so Izraelovega Boga in pod njegovimi stopali je bilo kakor bi bilo to tlakovano delo iz kamna safirja in kakor bi bilo to nebeško telo v svoji jasnosti.

and they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a tiled pavement made of lapis lazuli, as clear blue as the sky itself.

11 Na plemiče Izraelovih otrok pa ni položil svoje roke; tudi oni so videli Boga in so jedli ter pili.

But God did not harm the leaders of Israel—they saw him, and they ate and drank a sacred meal.

12 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Pridi gor k meni na goro in bodi tam, jaz pa ti bom dal kamniti plošči, postavo in zapovedi, ki sem jih zapisal, da jih boš lahko učil.«

Then the Lord told Moses, “Come up the mountain to me, and stay here, so I can give you the stone tablets, with the instructions and commands I have written for them to learn.”

13 Mojzes je vstal ter njegov strežnik Józue in Mojzes je šel gor na goro Boga.

So Moses left with Joshua his attendant and climbed up the mountain of God.

14 Starešinam pa je rekel: »Čakajte tukaj na naju, dokler ponovno ne prideva k vam. Glejte, Aron in Hur sta z vami. Če ima katerikoli človek za urediti kakršnekoli zadeve, naj pride k njima.«

He told the elders, “Stay here and wait for us to return. Aaron and Hur are with you. If anyone has a problem, they can talk with them.”

15 Mojzes je odšel gor na goro in goro je pokril oblak.

As Moses climbed up on the mountain, the cloud covered it

16 Gospodova slava je ostala na gori Sinaj in oblak jo je pokrival šest dni. Sedmi dan pa je iz srede oblaka zaklical k Mojzesu.

The Lord's glory came down on Mount Sinai, covering it for six days. On the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from inside the cloud.

17 Prizor Gospodove slave na vrhu gore je bil v očeh Izraelovih otrok podoben požirajočemu ognju.

To the Israelites the Lord's glory looked like a burning fire on the top of the mountain.

18 Mojzes je odšel v sredo oblaka in se povzpel na goro. Mojzes je bil na gori štirideset dni in štirideset noči.

Moses went into the cloud as he climbed up on the mountain, and he stayed on the mountain for forty days and nights.
