Exodus 32

A narod, videći gdje Mojsije dugo ne silazi s brda, okupi se oko Arona pa mu rekne: "Ustaj! Napravi nam boga, pa neka on pred nama ide! Ne znamo što se dogodi s tim čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izvede iz zemlje egipatske."

And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

"Poskidajte zlatne naušnice što vise o ušima vaših žena, vaših sinova i vaših kćeri", odgovori im Aron, "pa ih meni donesite."

And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.

Sav svijet skine zlatne naušnice što ih je o ušima imao i donese Aronu.

And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.

Primivši zlato iz njihovih ruku, rastopi kovinu u kalupu i načini saliveno tele. A oni poviču: "Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske."

And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Vidjevši to Aron, sagradi pred njim žrtvenik a onda najavi: "Sutra neka se priredi svečanost u čast Jahvi!"

And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.

Sutradan rano ustanu i prinesu žrtve paljenice i donesu žrtve pričesnice. Onda svijet posjeda da jede i pije. Poslije toga ustade da se zabavlja.

And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.

"Požuri se dolje!" - progovori Jahve Mojsiju. "Narod tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, pošao je naopako.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im odredio. Napravili su sebi tele od rastopljene kovine, preda nj pali ničice i žrtve mu prinijeli uz poklike: 'Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske!'

They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Dobro vidim", reče dalje Jahve Mojsiju, "da je ovaj narod tvrde šije.

And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

Pusti sada neka se moj gnjev na njih raspali da ih istrijebim. Onda ću od tebe razviti velik narod."

Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.

Mojsije pak zapomagao pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, i govorio: "O Jahve! Čemu da gnjevom plamtiš na svoj narod koji si izbavio iz zemlje egipatske silom velikom i rukom jakom!

And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?

Zašto bi Egipćani morali reći: 'U zloj ih je namjeri i odveo, tako da ih smakne u brdinama i izbriše s lica zemlje!' Smiri svoj gnjev i ljutinu; odustani od zla svome narodu!

Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

Sjeti se Abrahama, Izaka i Izraela, slugu svojih, kojima si se samim sobom zakleo i obećao im: 'Razmnožit ću vaše potomstvo kao zvijezde na nebu i svu zemlju ovu što sam obećao dat ću vašem potomstvu i ona će zavazda biti njihova baština.'"

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.

I Jahve odustane da na svoj narod svali nesreću kojom mu bijaše zaprijetio.

And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

Mojsije se okrene i siđe s brda. U rukama su mu bile dvije ploče Svjedočanstva, ploče ispisane na objema plohama; ispisane i s jedne i s druge strane.

And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.

Ploče su bile djelo Božje; pismo je bilo pismo Božje u pločama urezano.

And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.

A Jošua ču viku naroda koji je bučio pa reče Mojsiju: "Bojna vika u taboru!"

And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

Mojsije mu odgovori: "Niti viču pobjednici, niti tuže pobijeđeni: tu ja samo pjesmu čujem."

And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.

Čim se približi taboru te opazi tele i kako igraju, razgnjevi se Mojsije. Baci iz ruku ploče i razbije ih na podnožju brda.

And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.

Pograbi tele koje bijahu napravili, spali ga ognjem i u prah satre. Onda prah razbaca po vodi i natjera Izraelce da je piju.

And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.

"Što ti je ovaj puk učinio", reče Mojsije Aronu, "da si tako velik grijeh na nj svalio?"

And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?

"Neka se moj gospodar srdžbom ne raspaljuje", odgovori Aron. "Sam dobro znaš kako je ovaj narod na zlo sklon.

And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.

Rekoše mi: 'Napravi nam boga pa neka pred nama ide! Ne znamo što se dogodi s tim čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izbavi iz zemlje egipatske.'

For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

Na to im ja rekoh: 'Tko ima zlata, neka ga skine!' Tako mi ga dadoše, a ja ga bacih u vatru te izađe ovo tele."

And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.

Kad je Mojsije vidio kako je narod postao razuzdan - tÓa Aron ih je pustio da padnu u idolopoklonstvo među svojim neprijateljima -

And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)

stade na taborskim vratima i povika: "Tko je za Jahvu, k meni!" Svi se sinovi Levijevi okupe oko njega.

Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD'S side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

On im reče: "Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraela: 'Neka svatko pripaše mač o bedro i pođe taborom od vrata do vrata pa neka ubije tko svoga brata, tko svoga prijatelja, tko svoga susjeda.'"

And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.

Sinovi Levijevi izvršiše Mojsijev nalog, i toga dana pade naroda oko tri tisuće ljudi.

And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

"Danas ste se posvetili Jahvi za službu", reče Mojsije, "tko uz cijenu svoga sina, tko uz cijenu svoga brata, tako da vam danas daje blagoslov."

For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves to day to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.

Sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: "Težak ste grijeh počinili. Ipak ću se Jahvi popeti. Možda za vaš grijeh oproštenje pribavim."

And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.

Mojsije se vrati Jahvi pa reče: "Jao! Narod onaj težak je grijeh počinio napravivši sebi boga od zlata.

And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.

Ipak im taj grijeh oprosti... Ako nećeš, onda i mene izbriši iz svoje knjige koju si napisao."

Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin―; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.

Nato Jahve odgovori Mojsiju: "Onoga koji je protiv mene sagriješio izbrisat ću iz svoje knjige.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.

Nego, idi sad! Povedi narod kamo sam ti rekao. Anđeo će moj pred tobom ići. Ali u dan kad ih pohodim, zbog njihova ću ih grijeha kazniti."

Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.

Udari Jahve po narodu pomorom zbog teleta što im ga Aron načini.

And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
