4 Mojzes 14

1 Vsa skupnost je povzdignila svoj glas in zajokala in ljudstvo je to noč jokalo.

Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.

2 Vsi Izraelovi otroci so godrnjali zoper Mojzesa in zoper Arona in celotna skupnost jima je rekla: »Da bi Bog dal, da bi umrli v egiptovski deželi! Ali da bi Bog dal, da bi umrli v tej divjini!

All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!

3 Zakaj nas je Gospod privedel v to deželo, da pademo pod mečem, da bi bile naše žene in naši otroci plen? Ali ne bi bilo za nas bolje, da se vrnemo v Egipt?«

Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”

4 Drug drugemu so rekli: »Postavimo si poveljnika in se vrnimo v Egipt.«

So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”

5 Potem sta Mojzes in Aron padla na svoja obraza pred vsem zborom skupnosti Izraelovih otrok.

Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.

6 Nunov sin Józue in Jefunéjev sin Kaléb, ki sta bila izmed tistih, ki sta preiskala deželo, sta pretrgala svoja oblačila

Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes

7 in spregovorila vsej skupini Izraelovih otrok, rekoč: »Dežela, skozi katero sva šla, da jo preiščeva, je silno dobra dežela.

and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.

8 Če se Gospod razveseljuje v nas, potem nas bo privedel v to deželo in nam jo izročil; deželo, v kateri tečeta mleko in med.

If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.

9 Samo ne uprite se zoper Gospoda niti se ne bojte ljudstva dežele, kajti oni so za nas kruh. Njihova obramba je odšla od njih, Gospod pa je z nami. Ne bojte se jih.«

Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”

10 Toda vsa skupnost ju je zaukazala kamnati s kamni. In Gospodova slava se je prikazala v šotorskem svetišču skupnosti, pred vsemi Izraelovimi otroki.

But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.

11 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Doklej me bo to ljudstvo še dražilo? Kako dolgo bo, preden mi bodo verovali zaradi vseh znamenj, ki sem jih prikazal med njimi?

And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?

12 Udaril jih bom s kužno boleznijo in jih razdedinil in iz tebe bom naredil večji narod ter mogočnejši, kakor so oni.«

I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”

13 Mojzes pa je Gospodu rekel: »Potem bodo Egipčani to slišali, (kajti v svoji moči si to ljudstvo privedel izmed njih)

But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.

14 in bodo to povedali prebivalcem te dežele, kajti slišali so, da si ti Gospod med tem ljudstvom, da si ti Gospod, viden iz obličja v obličje in da tvoj oblak stoji nad njimi in da greš pred njimi, podnevi v oblačnem stebru, ponoči pa v ognjenem stebru.

And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.

15 Torej če boš pobil vse to ljudstvo kakor enega človeka, potem bodo narodi, ki so slišali o tvojem slovesu, govorili, rekoč:

If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,

16 ›Ker Gospod tega ljudstva ni mogel privesti v deželo, ki jim jo je prisegel, jih je zato umoril v divjini.‹

‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’

17 Sedaj te rotim, naj bo moč mojega Gospoda velika, glede na to, kakor si govoril, rekoč:

So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:

18 › Gospod je potrpežljiv in zelo usmiljen, ki odpušča krivičnost in prestopek in nikakor ne očisti krivega, ki obiskuje krivičnost očetov na otrocih do tretjega in četrtega rodu.‹

‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’

19 Odpusti, rotim te, krivičnost tega ljudstva, glede na veličino svojega usmiljenja in kakor si odpuščal temu ljudstvu, od Egipta, celo do sedaj.«

Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”

20 Gospod je rekel: »Odpustil sem glede na tvojo besedo,

“I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.

21 vendar kakor resnično jaz živim, bo vsa zemlja napolnjena z Gospodovo slavo.

“Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,

22 Ker so vsi tisti ljudje, ki so videli mojo slavo in moje čudeže, ki sem jih storil v Egiptu in v divjini in so me skušali sedaj teh desetkrat in niso prisluhnili mojemu glasu;

not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—

23 zagotovo ne bodo videli dežele, ki sem jo prisegel njihovim očetom niti je ne bo videl nobeden izmed tistih, ki so me dražili.

not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.

24 Toda ker je imel moj služabnik Kaléb, v sebi drugega duha in mi je popolnoma sledil, ga bom privedel v deželo, v katero je odšel, in njegovo seme jo bo vzelo v last.

But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.

25 (Torej Amálečani in Kánaanci so prebivali v dolini.) Jutri se obrnite in se odpravite v divjino, po poti Rdečega morja.«

Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”

26 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu in Aronu, rekoč:

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

27 »Doklej bom še prenašal to zlo skupnost, ki godrnja zoper mene? Slišal sem mrmranja Izraelovih otrok, ki mrmrajo zoper mene.

“How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.

28 Reci jim: › Kakor resnično jaz živim, ‹ govori Gospod, ›kakor ste govorili v moja ušesa, tako bom jaz storil vam.

So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.

29 Vaša trupla bodo padla v tej divjini in vsi, kar vas je bilo izmed vas preštetih, glede na vaše celotno število, od dvajset let stari in navzgor, ki ste godrnjali zoper mene.

Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.

30 Zagotovo ne boste prišli v deželo, glede katere sem prisegel, da v njej prebivate, razen Jefunéjevega sina Kaléba in Nunovega sina Józueta.

Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

31 Toda vaše malčke, za katere ste rekli, da naj bi bili plen, te bom privedel noter in oni bodo spoznali deželo, ki ste jo vi prezirali.

But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.

32 Toda kar se tiče vas, bodo vaša trupla padla v tej divjini.

As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.

33 Vaši otroci se bodo štirideset let potikali po divjini in nosili vaša vlačugarstva, dokler ne bodo vaša trupla propadla v divjini.

Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.

34 Po številu dni, v katerih ste preiskovali deželo, torej štirideset dni, vsak dan za leto, boste nosili svoje krivičnosti, celó štirideset let in spoznali boste moj odmik od obljube.‹

In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.

35 Jaz, Gospod, sem rekel: ›Zagotovo bom tako storil vsej tej zli skupnosti, ki je skupaj zbrana zoper mene. V tej divjini bodo použiti in tam bodo umrli.‹«

I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”

36 Možje, ki jih je Mojzes poslal, da preiščejo deželo, ki so se vrnili in vso skupnost pripravili, da je mrmrala zoper njega s prinašanjem obrekovanja nad deželo,

So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—

37 celo ti možje, ki so nad deželo prinesli zlo poročilo, so zaradi kuge umrli pred Gospodom.

those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.

38 Toda Nunov sin Józue in Jefunéjev sin Kaléb, ki sta bila izmed mož, ki so odšli, da preiščejo deželo, sta še vedno živela.

Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.

39 Mojzes je te stvari povedal vsem Izraelovim otrokom in ljudstvo je silno žalovalo.

And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.

40 Vstali so zgodaj zjutraj in se povzpeli na vrh gore, rekoč: »Glej! Mi smo tukaj in šli bomo gor, na kraj, ki nam ga je Gospod obljubil, kajti grešili smo.«

Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”

41 Mojzes je rekel: »Zakaj sedaj prestopate Gospodovo zapoved? Toda to ne bo uspelo.

But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!

42 Ne pojdite gor, kajti Gospoda ni med vami, da ne boste udarjeni pred svojimi sovražniki.

Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.

43 Kajti Amalečani in Kánaanci so tam pred vami in vi boste padli pod mečem, ker ste obrnjeni proč od Gospoda, zato Gospod ne bo z vami.«

For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”

44 Vendar pa so si predrznili, da gredo na vrh hriba. Vendar skrinja Gospodove zaveze in Mojzes nista odšla iz tabora.

But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.

45 Potem so prišli dol Amálečani in Kánaanci, ki so prebivali na tem hribu in jih udarili ter porazili, celó do Horme.

Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
