Izlazak 32
1 A narod, videći 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 čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izvede iz zemlje egipatske.”
When the people saw that Moses delayed in coming down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, “Come, make us an idol that will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.”
2 “Poskidajte zlatne naušnice što vise o ušima vaših žena, vaših sinova i vaših kćeri”, odgovori im Aron, “pa ih meni donesite.”
So Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings that are on your wives' ears, and the ears of your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.”
3 Sav svijet skine zlatne naušnice što ih je o ušima imao i donese Aronu.
All the people took off the golden rings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.
4 Primivši zlato iz njihovih ruku, rastopi kovinu u kalupu i načini saliveno tele. A oni poviču: “Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske.”
He received the gold from them, fashioned it in a mold, and made it into a molded calf. Then the people said, “Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
5 Vidjevši to Aron, sagradi pred njim žrtvenik a onda najavi: “Sutra neka se priredi svečanost u čast Jahvi!”
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before the calf and made a proclamation; he said, “Tomorrow will be a festival in Yahweh's honor.”
6 Sutradan rano ustanu i prinesu žrtve paljenice i donesu žrtve pričesnice. Onda svijet posjeda da jede i pije. Poslije toga ustade da se zabavlja.
The people arose early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought fellowship offerings. Then they sat down to eat and to drink, and then got up to carouse in wild celebration.
7 “Požuri se dolje!” - progovori Jahve Mojsiju. “Narod tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, pošao je naopako.
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go quickly, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves.
8 Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im odredio. Napravili su sebi tele od rastopljene kovine, preda nj pali ničice i žrtve mu prinijeli uz poklike: 'Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske!'
They have quickly left the way that I commanded them. They have molded for themselves a calf and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it. They have said, 'Israel, this is your god who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.'”
9 Dobro vidim”, reče dalje Jahve Mojsiju, “da je ovaj narod tvrde šije.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “I have seen this people. Look, they are a stiff-necked people.
10 Pusti sada neka se moj gnjev na njih raspali da ih istrijebim. Onda ću od tebe razviti velik narod.”
Now then, do not try to stop me. My anger will burn hot against them, so I will destroy them. Then I will make a great nation from you.”
11 Mojsije pak zapomagao pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, i govorio: “O Jahve! Čemu da gnjevom plamtiš na svoj narod koji si izbavio iz zemlje egipatske silom velikom i rukom jakom!
But Moses tried to calm down Yahweh his God. He said, “Yahweh, why does your anger burn against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 Zašto bi Egipćani morali reći: '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!
Why should the Egyptians say, 'He led them out with evil intent, to kill them in the mountains and to destroy them from the face of the earth?' Turn from your burning anger and relent from this punishment on your people.
13 Sjeti se Abrahama, Izaka i Izraela, slugu svojih, kojima si se samim sobom zakleo i obećao im: 'Razmnožit ću vaše potomstvo kao zvijezde na nebu i svu zemlju ovu što sam obećao dat ću vašem potomstvu i ona će zavazda biti njihova baština.'”
Call to mind Abraham and Isaac and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self and said to them, 'I will make your descendants as many as the stars in the heavens, and I will give to your descendants all this land of which I have spoken. They will inherit it forever.'”
14 I Jahve odustane da na svoj narod svali nesreću kojom mu bijaše zaprijetio.
Then Yahweh relented from the punishment that he had said he would inflict on his people.
15 Mojsije se okrene i siđe s brda. U rukama su mu bile dvije ploče Svjedočanstva, ploče ispisane na objema plohama; ispisane i s jedne i s druge strane.
Then Moses turned around and went down the mountain, carrying the two tablets of the covenant decrees in his hand. The tablets were written on both their sides, on both the front and the back.
16 Ploče su bile djelo Božje; pismo je bilo pismo Božje u pločama urezano.
The tablets were God's own work, and the writing was God's own writing, engraved on the tablets.
17 A Jošua ču viku naroda koji je bučio pa reče Mojsiju: “Bojna vika u taboru!”
When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of combat in the camp.”
18 Mojsije mu odgovori: “Niti viču pobjednici, niti tuže pobijeđeni: tu ja samo pjesmu čujem.”
But Moses said, “It is not the sound of a victor, and not the sound of defeated people, but the sound of singing that I hear.”
19 Čim se približi taboru te opazi tele i kako igraju, razgnjevi se Mojsije. Baci iz ruku ploče i razbije ih na podnožju brda.
When Moses approached the camp, he saw the calf and the people dancing. He became very angry. He threw the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the bottom of the mountain.
20 Pograbi tele koje bijahu napravili, spali ga ognjem i u prah satre. Onda prah razbaca po vodi i natjera Izraelce da je piju.
He took the calf that the people had made, burned it, ground it to powder, and poured it into the water. Then he made the people of Israel drink it.
21 “Što ti je ovaj puk učinio”, reče Mojsije Aronu, “da si tako velik grijeh na nj svalio?”
Then Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought such a great sin on them?”
22 “Neka se moj gospodar srdžbom ne raspaljuje”, odgovori Aron. “Sam dobro znaš kako je ovaj narod na zlo sklon.
Aaron said, “Do not let your anger burn hot, my master. You know these people, how they are set on doing evil.
23 Rekoše mi: 'Napravi nam boga pa neka pred nama ide! Ne znamo što se dogodi s tim čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izbavi iz zemlje egipatske.'
They said to me, 'Make us a god who will go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'
24 Na to im ja rekoh: 'Tko ima zlata, neka ga skine!' Tako mi ga dadoše, a ja ga bacih u vatru te izađe ovo tele.”
So I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let him take it off.' They gave me the gold and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25 Kad je Mojsije vidio kako je narod postao razuzdan - tÓa Aron ih je pustio da padnu u idolopoklonstvo među svojim neprijateljima -
Moses saw that the people were running wild (for Aaron had let them get out of control, causing their enemies to mock them).
26 stade na taborskim vratima i povika: “Tko je za Jahvu, k meni!” Svi se sinovi Levijevi okupe oko njega.
Then Moses stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh's side, come to me.” All the Levites gathered around him.
27 On im reče: “Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraela: 'Neka svatko pripaše mač o bedro i pođe taborom od vrata do vrata pa neka ubije tko svoga brata, tko svoga prijatelja, tko svoga susjeda.'”
He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: 'Let each man fasten his sword on his side and go back and forth from entrance to entrance throughout the camp, and kill his brother, his companion, and his neighbor.'”
28 Sinovi Levijevi izvršiše Mojsijev nalog, i toga dana pade naroda oko tri tisuće ljudi.
The Levites did what Moses ordered. That day about three thousand of the people died.
29 “Danas ste se posvetili Jahvi za službu”, reče Mojsije, “tko uz cijenu svoga sina, tko uz cijenu svoga brata, tako da vam danas daje blagoslov.”
Moses said to the Levites, “You have been placed into Yahweh's service today, for each of you has taken action against his son and his brother, so Yahweh might give you a blessing today.”
30 Sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: “Težak ste grijeh počinili. Ipak ću se Jahvi popeti. Možda za vaš grijeh oproštenje pribavim.”
The next day Moses said to the people, “You have committed a very great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.”
31 Mojsije se vrati Jahvi pa reče: “Jao! Narod onaj težak je grijeh počinio napravivši sebi boga od zlata.
Moses returned to Yahweh and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin and made themselves an idol of gold.
32 Ipak im taj grijeh oprosti... Ako nećeš, onda i mene izbriši iz svoje knjige koju si napisao.”
But now, please forgive their sin; but if you do not, blot me out of the book that you have written.”
33 Nato Jahve odgovori Mojsiju: “Onoga koji je protiv mene sagriješio izbrisat ću iz svoje knjige.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, that person I will blot out of my book.
34 Nego, idi sad! Povedi narod kamo sam ti rekao. Anđeo će moj pred tobom ići. Ali u dan kad ih pohodim, zbog njihova ću ih grijeha kazniti.”
So now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. See, my angel will go before you. But on the day that I punish them, I will punish them for their sin.”
35 Udari Jahve po narodu pomorom zbog teleta što im ga Aron načini.
Yahweh sent a plague on the people because they had made the calf, the one that Aaron made.
