Knjiga Izlaska, 24

1. Potom reèe Mojsiju: "Uzaði k Jahvi - ti, Aron, Nadab i Abihu i sedamdeset izraelskih starješina. Poklonite se izdaljega!

1. Moysi quoque dixit: “Ascende ad Dominum, tu et Aa ron, Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta senes ex Israel, et adorabitis procul.

2. Neka se sam Mojsije primakne k Jahvi! Oni neka se ne primièu, a puk neka se s njim ne penje."

2. Solusque Moyses ascendet ad Dominum, et illi non appropinquabunt, nec populus ascendet cum eo”.

3. Doðe Mojsije i kaza narodu sve rijeèi Jahvine i sve odredbe. A sav puk odgovori u jedan glas: "Sve rijeèi što ih Jahve reèe, vršit æemo."

3. Venit ergo Moyses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini atque iudicia; responditque omnis populus una voce: “Omnia verba Domini, quae locutus est, faciemus”.

4. Tada Mojsije popiše sve rijeèi Jahvine. A ujutro podrani te podigne žrtvenik na podnožju brda i dvanaest stupova za dvanaest plemena Izraelovih.

4. Scripsit autem Moyses universos sermones Domini; et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis et duodecim lapides per duodecim tribus Israel.

5. Zatim naloži mladim Izraelcima da prinesu žrtve paljenice i da žrtvuju Jahvi junce kao žrtve prièesnice.

5. Misitque iuvenes de filiis Israel, et obtulerunt holocausta; immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino vitulos.

6. Mojsije uhvati krv; polovinu krvi ulije u posude, a polovinu izlije po žrtveniku.

6. Tulit itaque Moyses dimidiam partem sanguinis et misit in crateras; partem autem residuam respersit super altare.

7. Prihvati zatim Knjigu Saveza pa je narodu glasno proèita, a narod uzvrati: "Sve što je Jahve rekao, izvršit æemo i poslušat æemo."

7. Assumensque volumen foederis legit, audiente populo, qui dixerunt: “Omnia, quae locutus est Dominus, faciemus et erimus oboedientes”.

8. Mojsije potom uzme krvi te poškropi narod govoreæi: "Ovo je krv Saveza koji je Jahve s vama uspostavio na temelju svih ovih rijeèi."

8. Ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum et ait: “Hic est sanguis foederis, quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his”.

9. Onda se uspne Mojsije s Aronom, Nadabom i Abihuom i sa sedamdeset starješina Izraelovih.

9. Ascenderuntque Moyses et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta de senioribus Israel.

10. Oni vidješe Boga Izraelova: podnožje njegovim nogama kao da je bilo od dragoga kamena safira, sjajem nalik na samo nebo.

10. Et viderunt Deum Israel, et sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini et quasi ipsum caelum, cum serenum est.

11. Ni ruke svoje nije pružio na izabranike Izraelaca: slobodno su Boga motrili i jeli i pili.

11. Nec in electos filiorum Israel misit manum suam; videruntque Deum et comederunt ac biberunt.

12. Onda Jahve reèe Mojsiju: "Popni se k meni na brdo i prièekaj ondje. Dat æu ti kamene ploèe sa zakonom i zapovijedima koje sam za njihovu pouku napisao."

12. Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: “Ascende ad me in montem et esto ibi; daboque tibi tabulas lapideas et legem ac mandata, quae scripsi, ut doceas eos”.

13. Ustane Mojsije i njegov pomoænik Jošua te se Mojsije popne na brdo Božje.

13. Surrexerunt Moyses et Iosue minister eius; ascendensque Moyses in montem Dei

14. A starješinama reèe: "Èekajte nas ovdje dok se ne vratimo. Eto je s vama Aron i Hur. Tko imadne kakvu razmiricu, neka se obrati na njih."

14. senioribus ait: “Exspectate hic, donec revertamur ad vos. Habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum; si quid natum fuerit quaestionis, referetis ad eos”.

15. Zatim Mojsije uzaðe na brdo, a onda oblak prekri brdo.

15. Cumque ascendisset Moyses in montem, operuit nubes montem;

16. Slava se Jahvina nastani na Sinajskom brdu i oblak ga obavijaše šest dana. Sedmoga dana zovne Jahve Mojsija isred oblaka.

16. et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai tegens illum nube sex diebus; septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis.

17. Slava Jahvina na vrhuncu brda bijaše oèima Izraelaca kao vatra koja sažiže. Mojsije zaðe u oblak i uspne se na brdo.

17. Erat autem species gloriae Domini quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israel.

18. Èetrdeset dana i èetrdeset noæi boravio je Mojsije na brdu.

18. Ingressusque Moyses medium nebulae ascendit in montem; et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.

Footnotes:

24:1-2 - Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy elders go up the mountain to worship from afar, indicating God's holiness and separation, as well as Moses' mediatorial role. This reflects reverent awe before God (see also Hebrews 12:18-24 and Deuteronomy 5:5).

24:3-4 - Moses writes down all the Lord's words, and the people commit to obeying them. This reinforces the importance of the covenant and the people of Israel's commitment to following God's commandments (see also Exodus 19:8 and Joshua 24:24).

24:5-8 - The blood of the offerings is sprinkled on the people and the altar, sealing the covenant with God. This symbolizes purification and commitment to holiness (see also Hebrews 9:19-22 and Leviticus 17:11).

24:9-11 - Moses and the elders of Israel see a vision of God and share a meal in His presence, showing that God's covenant includes fellowship and personal relationships (see also Exodus 33:11 and Matthew 26:26-28).

24:12-18 - Moses ascends the mountain to receive the tablets of the Law, remaining there for forty days and forty nights. This highlights Moses' role as mediator between God and the people and the profound significance of divine revelation (see also Exodus 31:18 and Matthew 4:2).

John 1:14: "He who is the Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." - The glory of God seen by Moses in Exodus 24:16-17 is compared to the glory of Christ incarnate.
