4 Mojzes 14

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

That night, all the Israeli people cried loudly.

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!

The next day they all complained to Aaron and Moses/me. All the men said, “We wish that we had died in Egypt, or in this desert!

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 Yahweh bringing us to this land, where we men will be killed with swords? And our wives and children will be taken away [to be slaves]. [Instead of going to Canaan]. It would be better for us to return to Egypt!”

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

Then [some of] them said to each other, “We should choose a leader who will take us back to Egypt!”

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

Then Aaron and Moses/I bowed down [to pray] in front of all the Israeli people who had gathered there.

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

Joshua and Caleb, two of the men who had explored the land, tore their clothes [because they were very dismayed].

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

They said to the Israeli people, “The land that we explored is very good.

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 Yahweh is pleased with us, he will lead us into that very fertile [IDM] land, 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.«

So do not rebel against Yahweh! And do not be afraid of the people in that land! We will (gobble them up/completely destroy them) [MET]! They do not have anyone who will protect them, but Yahweh will be with us [and help us]. So 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.

Then all the Israeli people talked about [killing Caleb and Joshua by] throwing stones at them. But [suddenly] Yahweh’s glory appeared to them at the Sacred Tent.

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?

Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “How long will these people reject me [RHQ]? I am tired of them not believing in what I [can do], in spite of all the miracles I have performed among them [RHQ]!

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

So I will cause a (plague/widespread sickness) to strike them and get rid of them. But I will cause your [descendants] to become a great nation. They will be a nation that is much greater and stronger than these people are.”

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

But Moses/I replied to Yahweh, “[Please do not do that, because] the people of Egypt will hear about it! You brought these Israeli people from Egypt by your great power,

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 the people of Egypt will tell that to the [descendants of Canaan] who live in this land. Yahweh, they have already heard about you. They know that you have (been with/helped) these people and that they have seen you face-to-face. They have heard that your cloud is like a huge pillar that stays over them, and by using that cloud you lead them during the day, and the cloud becomes like a fire at night [to give them light].

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 these people all at one time, the people-groups who have heard about your [power] will say,

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

‘Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land that he promised to give to them, so he killed them in the desert.’

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

“So Yahweh, now show that you are very powerful. You said,

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.‹

‘I do not quickly become angry; instead, I love people very much, and I forgive people for having sinned and having disobeyed my laws. But I will always punish [LIT] people who are guilty of doing what is wrong. When parents sin, I will punish them, but I will also punish their children and their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren and their great-great-grandchildren.’

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

So, because you love people like that, forgive these people for the sins that they have committed, just like you have continued to forgive them ever since they left Egypt.”

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

Then Yahweh replied, “I have forgiven them, as you requested me to.

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

But, just as certainly as I live and that people all over the world [can see] my (glory/glorious power), [I solemnly declare this: ]

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;

All these people saw my glory and all the miracles that I performed in Egypt and in the desert, but they disobeyed me, and many times they tested [whether they could continue to do evil things without my punishing them].

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

Because of that, not one of them will see the land that I promised their ancestors [that I would give to them]. No one who rejected me will see that land.

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 Caleb, who serves me [well], is different from the others. He obeys me completely. So I will bring him into that land that he has already seen, and his descendants will inherit/possess some of it.

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

So, since the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who are living in the valleys [in Canaan are very strong], when you leave here tomorrow, [instead of traveling toward Canaan], go back along the road through the desert towards the Red Sea.”

26 Gospod je spregovoril Mojzesu in Aronu, rekoč:

Then Yahweh said to Aaron and Moses/me,

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

“How long will the wicked people of this nation keep complaining about me [RHQ]? I have heard everything that they have grumbled/complained against me.

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

So now tell them this: ‘Just as certainly as I, Yahweh, live, I will do exactly what you said would happen.

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.

[I will cause] all of you to die here in this desert! Because you grumbled about me, none of you who are more than 20 years old and who were counted when Moses counted everyone

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

will enter the land that I solemnly promised to give to you. Only Caleb and Joshua will enter that land.

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.

You said that your children would be taken from you [to become slaves], but I will take them into the land, and they will enjoy living in the land that you (rejected/said that you could not conquer).

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

But as for you [adults], you will die here in this desert.

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

And like shepherds [wander around in the desert as they take care of their sheep], your children will wander around in this desert for 40 years. Because you adults were not loyal/faithful to me, your children will suffer until you all die in the desert.

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.‹

You will suffer for your sins for 40 years. That will be one year for each of the 40 days that the twelve men explored Canaan land. And I will be like an enemy to you.’

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.‹«

[This will certainly happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it! I will do these things to every one in this group who conspired against me. They (conspired against/decided together to reject) me here in the desert, and they will all die right here in this desert!”

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,

Then the ten men [who had explored Canaan and] who had urged the people to rebel against Yahweh by giving reports that discouraged the people

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

were immediately struck with a plague/disease that Yahweh sent, and they died.

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 the twelve men who had explored Canaan, only Joshua and Caleb remained alive.

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

When Moses/I reported to the Israeli people what Yahweh had said, many of them were very sad.

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.«

So the people got up early the next morning and started to go toward the hilly area in Canaan. They said, “[We know that] we have sinned, but now we [are ready to] enter the land that Yahweh promised to give to us.”

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

But Moses/I said, “Yahweh commanded you [to return to the desert, so] why are you now disobeying him [RHQ]? It will not (succeed/be possible).

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

Do not try to enter the land now! [If you try], your enemies will defeat you, because Yahweh will not (be with/help) 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.«

When you begin to fight the descendants of Amalek and Canaan, they will slaughter you! Yahweh will abandon you, because you have abandoned him.”

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

But even though Moses/I did not leave the camp, and the sacred chest that contained the Ten Commandments was not taken from the camp, the people began to go towards the hilly area in Canaan.

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

Then the descendants of Amalek and Canaan who lived in that hilly area came down and attacked them and chased them as far [south] as [the town of] Hormah.
