Exodus, 32

1. Then the people, seeing that Moses made a delay in descending from the mountain, gathered together against Aaron, and said: “Rise up, make us gods, who may go before us. But as for this man Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.”

1. A narod, videæi 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 èovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izvede iz zemlje egipatske."

2. And Aaron said to them, “Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”

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

3. And the people did what he had commanded, carrying the earrings to Aaron.

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

4. And when he had received them, he formed these by the work of a casting furnace, and he made from these a molten calf. And they said: “These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.”

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

5. And when Aaron had seen it, he built an altar before it, and he cried out with a voice of proclamation, saying, “Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.”

5. Vidjevši to Aron, sagradi pred njim žrtvenik a onda najavi: "Sutra neka se priredi sveèanost u èast Jahvi!"

6. And rising up in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and they rose up to play.

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

7. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Go, descend. Your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, have sinned.

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

8. They have quickly withdrawn from the way which you revealed to them. And they have made for themselves a molten calf, and they have worshiped it. And immolating victims to it, they have said: ‘These are your gods, O Israel, who led you away from the land of Egypt.’ ”

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

9. And again, the Lord said to Moses: “I discern that this people is stiff-necked.

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

10. Release me, so that my fury may be enraged against them, and I may destroy them, and then I will make of you a great nation.”

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

11. Then Moses prayed to the Lord his God, saying: “Why, O Lord, is your fury enraged against your people, whom you led away from the land of Egypt, with great strength and with a mighty hand?

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

12. I beg you, let not the Egyptians say, ‘He cleverly led them away, so that he could put them to death in the mountains and destroy them from the earth.’ Let your anger be quieted and appeased concerning the wickedness of your people.

12. Zašto bi Egipæani morali reæi: '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!

13. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your very self, saying: ‘I will multiply your offspring like the stars of heaven. And this entire land, about which I have spoken, I will give to your offspring. And you shall possess it forever.’ ”

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

14. And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.

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

15. And Moses returned from the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,

15. Mojsije se okrene i siðe s brda. U rukama su mu bile dvije ploèe Svjedoèanstva, ploèe ispisane na objema plohama; ispisane i s jedne i s druge strane.

16. and accomplished by the work of God. Also, the writing of God was engraved on the tablets.

16. Ploèe su bile djelo Božje; pismo je bilo pismo Božje u ploèama urezano.

17. Then Joshua, hearing the tumult of the people shouting, said to Moses: “The outcry of battle is heard in the camp.”

17. A Jošua èu viku naroda koji je buèio pa reèe Mojsiju: "Bojna vika u taboru!"

18. But he responded: “It is not the clamor of men being exhorted to battle, nor the shout of men being compelled to flee. But I hear the voice of singing.”

18. Mojsije mu odgovori: "Niti vièu pobjednici, niti tuže pobijeðeni: tu ja samo pjesmu èujem."

19. And when he had approached to the camp, he saw the calf and the dances. And being very angry, he threw down the tablets from his hand, and he broke them at the base of the mountain.

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

20. And seizing the calf, which they had made, he burnt it and crushed it, even to dust, which he scattered into water. And he gave from it to the sons of Israel to drink.

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

21. And he said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you, so that you would bring upon them the greatest sin?”

21. "Što ti je ovaj puk uèinio", reèe Mojsije Aronu, "da si tako velik grijeh na nj svalio?"

22. And he answered him: “Let not my lord be indignant. For you know this people, that they are prone to evil.

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

23. They said to me: ‘Make gods for us, who may go before us. For this Moses, who led us away from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has befallen him.’

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

24. And I said to them, ‘Which of you has gold?’ And they took it and gave it to me. And I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out.”

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

25. Therefore, Moses, seeing that the people were naked (for Aaron had stripped them because of the disgrace of their sordidness, and he had set them naked among their enemies),

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

26. and standing at the gate of the camp, said: “If anyone is for the Lord, let him join with me.” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.

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

27. And he said to them: “Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Let a man place his sword at his thigh. Go forth, and then return, from gate to gate, through the midst of the camp, and let each one kill his brother, and friend, and neighbor.”

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

28. And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there fell on that day about twenty-three thousand men.

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

29. And Moses said: “On this day, you have consecrated your hands to the Lord, each one in his son and in his brother, so that a blessing may be given to you.”

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

30. Then, when the next day arrived, Moses spoke to the people: “You have sinned the greatest sin. I will ascend to the Lord. Perhaps, in some way, I might be able to entreat him for your wickedness.”

30. Sutradan reèe Mojsije narodu: "Težak ste grijeh poèinili. Ipak æu se Jahvi popeti. Možda za vaš grijeh oproštenje pribavim."

31. And returning to the Lord, he said: “I beg you, this people has sinned the greatest sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold. Either release them from this offense,

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

32. or, if you do not, then delete me from the book that you have written.”

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

33. And the Lord answered him: “Whoever has sinned against me, him I will delete from my book.

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

34. But as for you, go and lead this people where I have told you. My angel will go before you. Then, on the day of retribution, I will also visit this sin of theirs.”

34. Nego, idi sad! Povedi narod kamo sam ti rekao. Anðeo æe moj pred tobom iæi. Ali u dan kad ih pohodim, zbog njihova æu ih grijeha kazniti."

35. Therefore, the Lord struck the people for the guilt of the calf, which Aaron had made.

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