Exodus, 24

1. He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from a distance.

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

2. And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”

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

3. Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”

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."

4. Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

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

5. And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.

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

6. And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over the altar.

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

7. And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.”

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

8. In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”

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

9. And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.

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

10. And they saw the God of Israel. And under his feet was something like a work of sapphire stone, or like the sky, when it is serene.

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

11. Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, and they ate and drank.

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

12. Then the Lord said to Moses: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”

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."

13. Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,

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

14. said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”

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."

15. And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.

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

16. And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud for six days. And on the seventh day, he called to him from the middle of the mist.

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

17. Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire over the summit of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel.

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

18. And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.

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

Fusnote:

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).
