Numbers, 14

1. And so, crying out, the entire crowd wept throughout that night.

1. Tada zagraja sva zajednica i poèe vikati. I te noæi narod plakaše.

2. And all the sons of Israel were murmuring against Moses and Aaron, saying:

2. Svi su Izraelci mrmljali protiv Mojsija i Arona. Sva im je zajednica govorila: "Kamo sreæe da smo pomrli u zemlji egipatskoj! Ili da smo pomrli u ovoj pustinji!

3. “If only we had died in Egypt,” and, “If only we would perish in this vast wilderness,” and, “May the Lord not lead us into this land, lest we fall by the sword, and our wives, as well as our children, be led away as captives. Is it not better to return to Egypt?”

3. Zašto nas Jahve vodi u tu zemlju da padnemo od maèa a žene naše i djeca da postanu roblje! Zar nam ne bi bilo bolje da se vratimo u Egipat!"

4. And they said to one another, “Let us appoint our leader, and so return to Egypt.”

4. Jedan je drugome govorio: "Postavimo sebi voðu i vratimo se u Egipat!"

5. And when Moses and Aaron heard this, they fell prone on the ground in the sight of the multitude of the sons of Israel.

5. Mojsije i Aron padoše nièice pred svom okupljenom izraelskom zajednicom.

6. Yet truly, Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who themselves had also viewed the land, tore their garments,

6. A Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, koji bijahu meðu onima što su izviðali zemlju, razderaše svoju odjeæu.

7. and they said to the entire multitude of the sons of Israel: “The land that we circled through is very good.

7. Zatim rekoše svoj zajednici izraelskoj: "Zemlja kroz koju smo prošli da je istražimo izvanredno je dobra.

8. If the Lord will be gracious to us, he will lead us into it, and he will give us the land flowing with milk and honey.

8. Ako nam Jahve bude dobrostiv, u tu æe nas zemlju dovesti i dat æe nam je. To je zemlja u kojoj teèe med i mlijeko.

9. Do not choose to be rebellious against the Lord. And do not fear the people of this land, for, like bread, so are we able to devour them. All protection has withdrawn from them. The Lord is with us. Do not be afraid.”

9. Samo, nemojte se buniti protiv Jahve! Ne bojte se naroda one zemlje: tÓa on je zalogaj za nas. Oni su bez zaštite, a s nama je Jahve! Ne bojte ih se!"

10. And when the entire multitude cried out, and they wanted to crush them with stones, the glory of the Lord appeared, over the roof of the covenant, to all the sons of Israel.

10. I dok je sva zajednica veæ mislila da ih kamenuje, pokaza se Slava Jahvina u Šatoru sastanka svima sinovima Izraelovim.

11. And the Lord said to Moses: “How long will this people disparage me? How long will they refuse to believe me, despite all the signs that I have wrought before them?

11. Tada reèe Mojsiju: "Dokle æe me taj narod prezirati? Dokle mi neæe vjerovati unatoè svim znamenjima što sam ih meðu njima izvodio?

12. Therefore, I will strike them with a pestilence, and so I will consume them. But you I will make the ruler over a great nation, and one which is mightier than this one.”

12. Udarit æu ih pomorom i istrijebiti, a od tebe æu uèiniti narod veæi i moæniji od njega."

13. And Moses said to the Lord: “But then the Egyptians, from whose midst you led out this people,

13. Onda Mojsije reèe Jahvi: "Egipæani su shvatili da si ti, svojom moæi, izveo ovaj narod izmeðu njih.

14. and the inhabitants of this land, who have heard that you, O Lord, are among this people, and that you are seen face to face, and that your cloud protects them, and that you go before them with a column of cloud by day, and a column of fire by night,

14. Oni su to kazali žiteljima one zemlje. Veæ su saznali da si ti, Jahve, usred ovog naroda, kojemu se oèituješ licem u lice, i da ti, Jahve, u oblaku stojiš nad njima; da obdan u stupu od oblaka, a obnoæ u stupu od ognja ideš pred njima.

15. may hear that you have killed so great a multitude, as if they were one man, and they may say:

15. Zato, ako pobiješ ovaj narod kao jednoga èovjeka, narodi koji su èuli glas o tebi reæi æe:

16. ‘He was not able to lead the people into the land about which he had sworn. Therefore, he slew them in the wilderness.’

16. 'Jahve je bio nemoæan da dovede ovaj narod u zemlju koju mu je pod zakletvom obeæao, i zato ih je poubijao u pustinji.'

17. Therefore, may the strength of the Lord be magnified, just as you swore, saying:

17. Zato neka se snaga moga Gospodina uzvisi, kako si najavio rekavši:

18. ‘The Lord is patient and full of mercy, taking away iniquity and wickedness, and forsaking no one who is harmless. He visits the sins of the fathers upon the sons, to the third and fourth generation.’

18. 'Jahve je spor na srdžbu, a bogat milosrðem; podnosi opaèinu i prijestup, ali krivca ne ostavlja nekažnjena, nego opaèinu otaca kažnjava na djeci do treæega i èetvrtog koljena.'

19. Forgive, I beg you, the sins of this people, according to the greatness of your mercy, just as you have been gracious to them in their journey from Egypt to this place.”

19. Oprosti krivnju ovome narodu po velièini svoga milosrða, kao što si vodio ovaj narod od Egipta dovde."

20. And the Lord said: “I have forgiven them according to your word.

20. "Opraštam po rijeèi tvojoj", reèe Jahve.

21. Also, as I live, the entire world shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

21. "Ali ipak, tako ja živ bio i slave se Jahvine napunila sva zemlja,

22. And yet, all the men who have seen my majesty, and the signs that I have wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, and who have tested me ten times already, and yet have not obeyed my voice,

22. ni jedan od ljudi koji su vidjeli slavu moju i znamenja što sam ih izveo u Egiptu i u pustinji, pa me ipak iskušavali veæ deset puta ne hoteæi poslušati moj glas,

23. these shall not see the land, about which I swore to their fathers, neither shall any of those who detracted me gaze upon it.

23. neæe vidjeti zemlje što sam je pod zakletvom obeæao njihovim ocima; nitko od onih koji me preziru neæe je vidjeti.

24. My servant Caleb, who, being full of another spirit, has followed me, I will lead into this land, through which he has wandered, and his offspring shall possess it.

24. A slugu svoga Kaleba, jer je u njemu drukèiji duh i jer mi bijaše poslušan, njega æu ja dovesti u zemlju u koju je išao i njegovi æe je potomci zaposjesti! Neka Amaleèani i Kanaanci samo ostanu u dolini.

25. For the Amalekites and the Canaanites live in the valleys. Tomorrow, move the camp and return into the wilderness, by the way of the Red Sea.”

25. Sutra se vratite i krenite u pustinju put Crvenog mora."

26. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

26. Još reèe Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:

27. “How long will this very wicked multitude murmur against me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel.

27. "Dokle æe ta opaka zajednica mrmljati protiv mene? Èuo sam tužbe što ih Izraelci na me dižu.

28. Therefore, say to them: As I live, says the Lord, as you spoke in my hearing, so will I do to you.

28. Kaži im: Tako ja živ bio, objavljuje Jahve, kako ste na moje uši govorili, tako æu vam i uèiniti.

29. In the wilderness, here shall your carcasses lie. All you who were numbered from twenty years and above, and who have murmured against me,

29. U ovoj pustinji popadat æe vaša mrtva tijela: svih vas koji ste ubilježeni u bilo koji vaš popis od dvadeset godina pa naprijed, koji ste rogoborili protiv mene.

30. you shall not enter into the land, over which I lifted up my hand to cause you to live there, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

30. Neæete uæi u zemlju na koju sam svoju ruku digao da vas u njoj nastanim, osim Kaleba, sina Jefuneova, i Jošue, sina Nunova.

31. But your little ones, about whom you said that they would be a prey to the enemies, I will lead them in, so that they may see the land that has displeased you.

31. A vašu djecu, o kojoj kažete da bi postala roblje, njih æu uvesti da nastane zemlju što ste je vi prezreli.

32. Your carcasses shall lie in the wilderness.

32. A vi? Neka vam tjelesa popadaju u ovoj pustinji!

33. Your sons shall wander in the desert for forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until the carcasses of their fathers are consumed in the desert.

33. Vaši sinovi neka lutaju pustinjom èetrdeset godina, neka trpe zbog vaše nevjere dok vam ne ispropadaju tjelesa u ovoj pustinji.

34. According to the number of the forty days, during which you examined the land, one year shall be charged for each day. And so, for forty years you shall take back your iniquities, and you shall know my retribution.

34. Prema broju dana u koje ste istraživali zemlju - dana èetrdeset, za svaki dan jednu godinu - ispaštajte svoje opaèine èetrdeset godina. Iskusite što znaèi mene napustiti.

35. For just as I have spoken, so shall I do, to this entire most wicked multitude, which has risen up together against me. In the wilderness, here shall it fade away and die.”

35. Ja, Jahve, to kažem: tako æu postupiti s ovom opakom zajednicom što se sjatila protiv mene. U ovoj istoj pustinji neka završi! Tu neka izgine."

36. Therefore, all the men, whom Moses had sent to contemplate the land, and who, having returned, had caused the entire multitude to murmur against him, disparaging the land as if it were evil,

36. A oni ljudi koje Mojsije bijaše poslao da istraže zemlju i koji su nakon povratka potakli svu zajednicu da rogobori protiv njega ozloglašujuæi zemlju;

37. suffered death and were struck down in the sight of the Lord.

37. oni, dakle, ljudi koji su zlobno ozloglasili zemlju bijahu pomoreni pred Jahvom.

38. But only Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive, out of all those who had journeyed to examine the land.

38. Od onih ljudi koji su išli da istraže zemlju ostadoše na životu jedino Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov.

39. And Moses spoke all these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned exceedingly.

39. Kad je Mojsije prenio te rijeèi svim Izraelcima, narod se uvelike ražalosti.

40. And behold, rising up at first light, they climbed to the top of the mountain, and they said, “We are prepared to ascend to the place, about which the Lord has spoken, for we have sinned.”

40. I uranivši ujutro poènu se uspinjati na vrh brda govoreæi. "Evo uzlazimo na mjesto o kojem je govorio Jahve jer smo zgriješili."

41. And Moses said to them: “Why do you transgress the word of the Lord, merely because it will not result in prosperity for you?

41. A Mojsije rekne: "Zašto kršite zapovijed Jahvinu? Neæete uspjeti.

42. Do not ascend, for the Lord is not with you, lest you be overthrown before your enemies.

42. Ne penjite se, da vas ne potuku vaši neprijatelji, jer Jahve nije meðu vama.

43. The Amalekite and the Canaanite are before you, by whose sword you shall be ruined, for you were not willing to consent to the Lord, and so the Lord is not with you.”

43. Ta ondje se pred vama nalaze Amaleèani i Kanaanci te æete od maèa pasti jer ste se odvratili od Jahve i jer Jahve neæe biti s vama."

44. But they, having been darkened, ascended to the top of the mountain. But the ark of the testament of the Lord, and Moses, did not withdraw from the camp.

44. Ali se oni prkosno penjahu prema vrhu brda, iako se ni Kovèeg saveza Jahvina ni Mojsije nisu micali iz tabora.

45. And the Amalekites descended, along with those Canaanites who were living in the mountains. And so, striking and cutting them down, they pursued them all the way to Hormah.

45. Amaleèani i Kanaanci koji su živjeli na onome brdu spuste se, udare po njima i rasprše ih sve do Horme.
