2 Mojzes 33

1 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Odpravi se in pojdi od tod gor, ti in ljudstvo, ki si ga privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, v deželo, ki sem jo prisegel Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu, rekoč: ›Tvojemu semenu jo bom dal, ‹

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Leave this place, you and the people you brought up out of the land of Egypt, and go to the land that I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, ‘I will give it to your descendants.’

2 jaz pa bom pred teboj poslal angela, in jaz bom napodil Kánaanca, Amoréjca in Hetejca in Perizéjca, Hivéjca in Jebusejca

And I will send an angel before you, and I will drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

3 v deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med, kajti jaz ne bom šel gor v tvoji sredi, kajti trdovratno ljudstvo si, da te na poti ne použijem.«

Go up to a land flowing with milk and honey. But I will not go with you, because you are a stiff-necked people; otherwise, I might destroy you on the way.”

4 Ko je ljudstvo slišalo te zle vesti, je žalovalo in noben človek si nase ni nadel ornamentov.

When the people heard these bad tidings, they went into mourning, and no one put on any of his jewelry.

5 Kajti Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Reci Izraelovim otrokom: ›Vi ste trdovratno ljudstvo. V trenutku bom prišel v tvojo sredo in te použil, zato sedaj iz sebe odloži svoje ornamente, da lahko vem, kaj ti storiti.‹«

For the LORD had said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites, ‘You are a stiff-necked people. If I should go with you for a single moment, I would destroy you. Now take off your jewelry, and I will decide what to do with you.’”

6 Izraelovi otroci so se pri gori Horeb ogolili svojih ornamentov.

So the Israelites stripped themselves of their jewelry from Mount Horeb onward.

7 Mojzes je vzel šotorsko svetišče in ga postavil zunaj tabora, daleč od tabora ter ga imenoval Šotorsko svetišče skupnosti. In pripetilo se je, da kdorkoli je iskal Gospoda, je odšel k šotorskemu svetišču skupnosti, ki je bil zunaj tabora.

Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it at a distance outside the camp. He called it the Tent of Meeting, and anyone inquiring of the LORD would go to the Tent of Meeting outside the camp.

8 Pripetilo se je, ko je Mojzes šel ven v šotorsko svetišče, da je vse ljudstvo vstalo in vsak mož je stal pri vratih svojega šotora in gledal za Mojzesom, dokler ta ni odšel v šotorsko svetišče.

Then, whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people would stand at the entrances to their own tents and watch Moses until he entered the tent.

9 Ko je Mojzes vstopil v šotorsko svetišče, se je pripetilo, [da] se je spustil oblačen steber in stal pri vratih šotorskega svetišča in Gospod je govoril z Mojzesom.

As Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and remain at the entrance, and the LORD would speak with Moses.

10 Vse ljudstvo je videlo oblačen steber stati pri vratih šotorskega svetišča, in vse ljudstvo je vstalo in oboževalo, vsak mož pri vratih svojega šotora.

When all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they would stand up and worship, each one at the entrance to his own tent.

11 Gospod je govoril Mojzesu iz obličja v obličje, kakor človek govori svojemu prijatelju. In ponovno se je napotil v tabor, toda njegov služabnik, Nunov sin Józue, mladenič, ni odšel iz šotorskega svetišča.

Thus the LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young assistant Joshua son of Nun would not leave the tent.

12 Mojzes je rekel Gospodu: »Glej, praviš mi: ›Privedi to ljudstvo gor, ‹ pa mi nisi dal spoznati koga hočeš poslati z menoj. Vendar si rekel: ›Poznam te po imenu in tudi milost si našel v mojih očeh.‹

Then Moses said to the LORD, “Look, You have been telling me, ‘Lead this people up,’ but You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have found favor in My sight.’

13 Zdaj torej, prosim te, če sem našel milost v tvojih očeh, pokaži mi torej svojo pot, da te lahko spoznam, da lahko najdem milost v tvojih očeh. Preudari, da je ta narod tvoje ljudstvo.«

Now if indeed I have found favor in Your sight, please let me know Your ways, that I may know You and find favor in Your sight. Remember that this nation is Your people.”

14 In on je rekel: »Moja prisotnost bo šla s teboj in jaz ti bom dal počitek.«

And the LORD answered, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

15 Rekel mu je: »Če tvoja prisotnost ne gre z menoj, nas ne odvedi tja gor.

“If Your Presence does not go with us,” Moses replied, “do not lead us up from here.

16 Kajti v čem bo to znano tukaj, da smo jaz in tvoje ljudstvo našli milost v tvojih očeh? Mar ni to v tem, da hodiš z nami? Tako bomo ločeni, jaz in tvoje ljudstvo, od vseh ljudstev, ki so na obličju zemlje.«

For how then can it be known that Your people and I have found favor in Your sight, unless You go with us? How else will we be distinguished from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

17 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Storil bom tudi to stvar, ki si jo govoril, kajti našel si milost v mojih očeh in jaz te poznam po imenu.«

So the LORD said to Moses, “I will do this very thing you have asked, for you have found favor in My sight, and I know you by name.”

18 Ta je rekel: »Rotim te, pokaži mi svojo slavo.«

Then Moses said, “Please show me Your glory.”

19 In on je rekel: »Vsej svoji dobroti bom storil iti pred teboj in razglašal bom Gospodovo ime pred teboj in milostljiv bom, komur hočem biti milostljiv in usmiljenje bom pokazal na tistem, na komer hočem pokazati usmiljenje.«

“I will cause all My goodness to pass before you,” the LORD replied, “and I will proclaim My name—the LORD—in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

20 Rekel je: »Ne moreš videti mojega obličja, kajti noben človek me ne bo videl in živel.«

But He added, “You cannot see My face, for no one can see Me and live.”

21 Gospod je rekel: »Glej, tukaj je prostor pri meni in ti boš stopil na skalo.

The LORD continued, “There is a place near Me where you are to stand upon a rock,

22 Zgodilo se bo, medtem ko gre moja slava mimo, da te bom postavil v skalno pečino in s svojo roko te bom pokril, medtem ko grem mimo.

and when My glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.

23 In odstranil bom svojo roko in videl boš moje zadnje dele, toda mojega obličja ne bo videti.«

Then I will take My hand away, and you will see My back; but My face must not be seen.”
