Brojevi 14
1 Tada zagraja sva zajednica i poče vikati. I te noći narod plakaše.
That night all the community wept loudly.
2 Svi su Izraelci mrmljali protiv Mojsija i Arona. Sva im je zajednica govorila: “Kamo sreće da smo pomrli u zemlji egipatskoj! Ili da smo pomrli u ovoj pustinji!
All the people of Israel criticized Moses and Aaron. The whole community said to them, “We wish we had died in the land of Egypt, or here in this wilderness!
3 Zašto nas Jahve vodi u tu zemlju da padnemo od mača a žene naše i djeca da postanu roblje! Zar nam ne bi bilo bolje da se vratimo u Egipat!”
Why did Yahweh bring us to this land to die by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become victims. Is it not better for us to return to Egypt?”
4 Jedan je drugome govorio: “Postavimo sebi vođu i vratimo se u Egipat!”
They said to each another, “Let us choose another leader, and let us return to Egypt.”
5 Mojsije i Aron padoše ničice pred svom okupljenom izraelskom zajednicom.
Then Moses and Aaron lay facedown before all the assembly of the community of the people of Israel.
6 A Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, koji bijahu među onima što su izviđali zemlju, razderaše svoju odjeću.
Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were some of those sent to examine the land, tore their clothes.
7 Zatim rekoše svoj zajednici izraelskoj: “Zemlja kroz koju smo prošli da je istražimo izvanredno je dobra.
They spoke to all the community of the people of Israel. They said, “The land that we passed through and examined is a very good land.
8 Ako nam Jahve bude dobrostiv, u tu će nas zemlju dovesti i dat će nam je. To je zemlja u kojoj teče med i mlijeko.
If Yahweh is pleased with us, then he will take us into this land and give it to us. The land flows with milk and honey.
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!”
But do not rebel against Yahweh, and do not fear the people in the land, for they are bread to us. Their protection will be removed from them, because Yahweh is with us. Do not fear them.”
10 I dok je sva zajednica već mislila da ih kamenuje, pokaza se Slava Jahvina u Šatoru sastanka svima sinovima Izraelovim.
Then all the congregation said to stone them with stones. But the glory of Yahweh appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel.
11 Tada reče Mojsiju: “Dokle će me taj narod prezirati? Dokle mi neće vjerovati unatoč svim znamenjima što sam ih među njima izvodio?
Yahweh said to Moses, “How long must this people despise me? How long must they fail to trust me, despite all the signs of my power that I have done among them?
12 Udarit ću ih pomorom i istrijebiti, a od tebe ću učiniti narod veći i moćniji od njega.”
I will attack them with plague, disinherit them, and make from your own clan a nation that will be greater and mightier than they are.”
13 Onda Mojsije reče Jahvi: “Egipćani su shvatili da si ti, svojom moći, izveo ovaj narod između njih.
Moses said to Yahweh, “If you do this, then the Egyptians will hear about it, because you rescued this people from them by your power.
14 Oni su to kazali žiteljima one zemlje. Već su saznali da si ti, Jahve, usred ovog naroda, kojemu se očituješ licem u lice, i da ti, Jahve, u oblaku stojiš nad njima; da obdan u stupu od oblaka, a obnoć u stupu od ognja ideš pred njima.
They will tell it to this land's inhabitants. They have heard that you, Yahweh, are present with this people, because you are seen face to face. Your cloud stands over our people. You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.
15 Zato, ako pobiješ ovaj narod kao jednoga čovjeka, narodi koji su čuli glas o tebi reći će:
Now if you kill this people as one man, then the nations that have heard of your fame will speak and say,
16 'Jahve je bio nemoćan da dovede ovaj narod u zemlju koju mu je pod zakletvom obećao, i zato ih je poubijao u pustinji.'
'Because Yahweh could not take this people into the land that he swore to give them, he has killed them in the wilderness.'
17 Zato neka se snaga moga Gospodina uzvisi, kako si najavio rekavši:
Now, I beg you, use your great power. For you have said,
18 'Jahve je spor na srdžbu, a bogat milosrđem; podnosi opačinu i prijestup, ali krivca ne ostavlja nekažnjena, nego opačinu otaca kažnjava na djeci do trećega i četvrtog koljena.'
'Yahweh is slow to anger and abundant in covenant faithfulness. He forgives iniquity and transgression. He will by no means clear the guilty when he brings the punishment of the ancestors' sin on their descendants, to the third and fourth generation.'
19 Oprosti krivnju ovome narodu po veličini svoga milosrđa, kao što si vodio ovaj narod od Egipta dovde.”
Pardon, I plead with you, this people's sin because of the greatness of your covenant faithfulness, just as you have always forgiven this people from the time they were in Egypt until now.”
20 “Opraštam po riječi tvojoj”, reče Jahve.
Yahweh said, “I have pardoned them in keeping with your request,
21 “Ali ipak, tako ja živ bio i slave se Jahvine napunila sva zemlja,
but truly, as I live, and as all the earth will be filled with my glory,
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 već deset puta ne hoteći poslušati moj glas,
all those people who saw my glory and the signs of power that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness—they have still tempted me these ten times and have not listened to my voice.
23 neće vidjeti zemlje što sam je pod zakletvom obećao njihovim ocima; nitko od onih koji me preziru neće je vidjeti.
So I say that they will certainly not see the land about which I made an oath to their ancestors. Not one of them who despised me will see it,
24 A slugu svoga Kaleba, jer je u njemu drukčiji duh i jer mi bijaše poslušan, njega ću ja dovesti u zemlju u koju je išao i njegovi će je potomci zaposjesti! Neka Amalečani i Kanaanci samo ostanu u dolini.
except for my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit. He has followed me fully; I will bring him into the land which he went to examine. His descendants will possess it.
25 Sutra se vratite i krenite u pustinju put Crvenog mora.”
(Now the Amalekites and Canaanites lived in the valley.) Tomorrow turn and go to the wilderness by the way of the Sea of Reeds.”
26 Još reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He said,
27 “Dokle će ta opaka zajednica mrmljati protiv mene? Čuo sam tužbe što ih Izraelci na me dižu.
“How long must I tolerate this evil community that criticizes me? I have heard the complaining of the people of Israel against me.
28 Kaži im: Tako ja živ bio, objavljuje Jahve, kako ste na moje uši govorili, tako ću vam i učiniti.
Say to them, 'As I live,' says Yahweh, 'as you have spoken in my hearing, I will do this to you:
29 U ovoj pustinji popadat će vaša mrtva tijela: svih vas koji ste ubilježeni u bilo koji vaš popis od dvadeset godina pa naprijed, koji ste rogoborili protiv mene.
Your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness, all you who complained against me, you who were counted in the census, the whole number of the people from twenty years old and upward.
30 Nećete ući u zemlju na koju sam svoju ruku digao da vas u njoj nastanim, osim Kaleba, sina Jefuneova, i Jošue, sina Nunova.
You will certainly not go into the land that I promised to make your home, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
31 A vašu djecu, o kojoj kažete da bi postala roblje, njih ću uvesti da nastane zemlju što ste je vi prezreli.
But your little ones who you said would be victims, I will take them into the land. They will experience the land that you have rejected!
32 A vi? Neka vam tjelesa popadaju u ovoj pustinji!
As for you, your dead bodies will fall in this wilderness.
33 Vaši sinovi neka lutaju pustinjom četrdeset godina, neka trpe zbog vaše nevjere dok vam ne ispropadaju tjelesa u ovoj pustinji.
Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years. They must bear the consequences of your acts of rebellion until the end of your corpses in the wilderness.
34 Prema broju dana u koje ste istraživali zemlju - dana četrdeset, za svaki dan jednu godinu - ispaštajte svoje opačine četrdeset godina. Iskusite što znači mene napustiti.
Just as the number of the days during which you examined the land—forty days, you must likewise bear the consequences of your sins for forty years—one year for every day, and you must know what it is like for me to oppose you.
35 Ja, Jahve, to kažem: tako ću postupiti s ovom opakom zajednicom što se sjatila protiv mene. U ovoj istoj pustinji neka završi! Tu neka izgine.”
I, Yahweh, have spoken. I will certainly do this to all this evil community that is gathered together against me. They will be completely cut off, and here they will die.'”
36 A oni ljudi koje Mojsije bijaše poslao da istraže zemlju i koji su nakon povratka potakli svu zajednicu da rogobori protiv njega ozloglašujući zemlju;
So the men Moses sent to spy out the land, who returned and made the entire community grumble against Moses by spreading a bad report about the land—
37 oni, dakle, ljudi koji su zlobno ozloglasili zemlju bijahu pomoreni pred Jahvom.
these men who had brought out a bad report about the land were struck down, and they died of a plague before Yahweh.
38 Od onih ljudi koji su išli da istraže zemlju ostadoše na životu jedino Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov.
Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
39 Kad je Mojsije prenio te riječi svim Izraelcima, narod se uvelike ražalosti.
When Moses reported these words to all the people of Israel, they mourned very deeply.
40 I uranivši ujutro počnu se uspinjati na vrh brda govoreći. “Evo uzlazimo na mjesto o kojem je govorio Jahve jer smo zgriješili.”
They rose up early in the morning and went to the top of the mountain and said, “Look, we are here, and we will go to the place that Yahweh has promised, for we have sinned.”
41 A Mojsije rekne: “Zašto kršite zapovijed Jahvinu? Nećete uspjeti.
But Moses said, “Why are you now violating Yahweh's command? You will not succeed.
42 Ne penjite se, da vas ne potuku vaši neprijatelji, jer Jahve nije među vama.
Do not go, because Yahweh is not with you to prevent you from being defeated by your enemies.
43 Ta ondje se pred vama nalaze Amalečani i Kanaanci te ćete od mača pasti jer ste se odvratili od Jahve i jer Jahve neće biti s vama.”
The Amalekites and Canaanites are there, and you will die by the sword because you turned back from following Yahweh. So he will not be with you.”
44 Ali se oni prkosno penjahu prema vrhu brda, iako se ni Kovčeg saveza Jahvina ni Mojsije nisu micali iz tabora.
But they presumed to go up into the hill country; however, neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of Yahweh left the camp.
45 Amalečani i Kanaanci koji su živjeli na onome brdu spuste se, udare po njima i rasprše ih sve do Horme.
Then the Amalekites came down, and also the Canaanites who lived on those hills. They attacked the Israelites and defeated them all the way to Hormah.
