Exodus 19

In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

Tri mjeseca nakon izlaska iz zemlje egipatske, istoga dana, stignu Izraelci u Sinajsku pustinju.

For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

Idući od Refidima, dođu u Sinajsku pustinju i utabore se u pustinji. Postave Izraelci tabor tu pred brdom,

And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;

a Mojsije se popne k Bogu. Jahve ga zovne s brda pa mu rekne: "Ovako kaži domu Jakovljevu, proglasi djeci Izraelovoj:

Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

'Vi ste vidjeli što sam učinio Egipćanima; kako sam vas nosio na orlovskim krilima i k sebi vas doveo.

Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

Stoga, budete li mi se vjerno pokoravali i držali moj Savez, vi ćete mi biti predraga svojina mimo sve narode - tÓa moj je sav svijet! -

And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

vi ćete mi biti kraljevstvo svećenika, narod svet.' Tim riječima oslovi Izraelce."

And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

Mojsije se vrati i sazva narodne starješine te im izloži sve što mu je Jahve naredio.

And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

A sav narod uzvrati jednoglasno: "Vršit ćemo sve što je Jahve naredio." Onda Mojsije prenese odgovor naroda Jahvi.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

Nato Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Ja ću, evo, doći k tebi u gustom oblaku da narod čuje kad budem s tobom govorio i da ti zauvijek vjeruje." Tako je Mojsije prenio Jahvi odgovor naroda.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

"Pođi k narodu", reče Jahve Mojsiju, "i posvećuj ga danas i sutra. Neka opere svoju odjeću;

And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

neka bude gotov prekosutra, jer će prekosutra sići Jahve na brdo Sinaj naočigled svega puka.

And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:

Postavi naokolo granicu za narod i izdaj naredbu: 'Pripazite da se na brdo ne penjete; da se ni podnožja ne dotičete! Tko se god brda dotakne, smrt će ga snaći.

There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

Nikakva ruka neka ga se ne dotakne, nego neka bude kamenjem zasut ili strijelom ustrijeljen: bio čovjek ili živinče, neka na životu ne ostane.' Na otegnuti zvuk trube neka se na brdo penju."

And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

Mojsije siđe s brda k narodu i poče posvećivati narod. Oni operu svoju odjeću.

And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.

"Budite gotovi za prekosutra!" - rekne Mojsije narodu. "Ne primičite se ženi!"

And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

A prekosutra, u osvit dana, prolomi se grmljavina, munje zasijevaše, a gust se oblak nadvi nad brdo. Gromko zaječa truba, zadrhta sav puk koji bijaše u taboru.

And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

Mojsije povede puk iz tabora u susret Bogu. Stadoše na podnožju brda.

And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

Brdo Sinaj zavilo se u dim jer je Jahve u obliku ognja sišao na nj. Dizao se dim kao dim iz peći. Sve se brdo silno treslo.

And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

Zvuk trube bivao sve jači. Mojsije je govorio, a Bog mu grmljavinom odgovarao.

And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

Jahve siđe na Sinajsko brdo, na vrhunac, i pozva Jahve Mojsija na vrhunac brda. Mojsije se uspe.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.

Sad Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Siđi i opomeni narod da ne bi provalio prema Jahvi da ga vidi. Mnogo bi ih poginulo.

And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.

I sami svećenici, koji dolaze blizu Jahvi, moraju se očistiti, da ih Jahve ne uništi."

And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

"Narod se ne može popeti na brdo Sinaj", odgovori Mojsije Jahvi, "jer si nas sam ti opomenuo: 'Postavi granice naokolo brda i proglasi ga svetim.'"

And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.

"Siđi pa se opet popni zajedno s Aronom", odgovori mu Jahve. "Ali neka svećenici i narod ne navaljuju da se popnu prema Jahvi da ne izginu."

So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

Mojsije siđe k narodu i sve mu kaza.
