Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him: 'Up, make us a god who shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.'
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.”
2 And Aaron said unto them: 'Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.'
“Poskidajte zlatne naušnice što vise o ušima vaših žena, vaših sinova i vaših kćeri”, odgovori im Aron, “pa ih meni donesite.”
3 And all the people broke off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Sav svijet skine zlatne naušnice što ih je o ušima imao i donese Aronu.
4 And he received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf; and they said: 'This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
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.”
5 And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said: 'To-morrow shall be a feast to the LORD.'
Vidjevši to Aron, sagradi pred njim žrtvenik a onda najavi: “Sutra neka se priredi svečanost u čast Jahvi!”
6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings, and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to make merry.
Sutradan rano ustanu i prinesu žrtve paljenice i donesu žrtve pričesnice. Onda svijet posjeda da jede i pije. Poslije toga ustade da se zabavlja.
7 And the LORD spoke unto Moses: 'Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have dealt corruptly;
“Požuri se dolje!” - progovori Jahve Mojsiju. “Narod tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, pošao je naopako.
8 they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said: This is thy god, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.'
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!'
9 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people.
Dobro vidim”, reče dalje Jahve Mojsiju, “da je ovaj narod tvrde šije.
10 Now therefore let Me alone, that My wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of thee a great nation.'
Pusti sada neka se moj gnjev na njih raspali da ih istrijebim. Onda ću od tebe razviti velik narod.”
11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said: 'LORD, why doth Thy wrath wax hot against Thy people, that Thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
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!
12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, saying: For evil did He bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from Thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against Thy people.
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!
13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Thy servants, to whom Thou didst swear by Thine own self, and saidst unto them: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.'
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.'”
14 And the LORD repented of the evil which He said He would do unto His people.
I Jahve odustane da na svoj narod svali nesreću kojom mu bijaše zaprijetio.
15 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand; tables that were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
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.
16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Ploče su bile djelo Božje; pismo je bilo pismo Božje u pločama urezano.
17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses: 'There is a noise of war in the camp.'
A Jošua ču viku naroda koji je bučio pa reče Mojsiju: “Bojna vika u taboru!”
18 And he said: 'It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome, but the noise of them that sing do I hear.'
Mojsije mu odgovori: “Niti viču pobjednici, niti tuže pobijeđeni: tu ja samo pjesmu čujem.”
19 And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing; and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mount.
Čim se približi taboru te opazi tele i kako igraju, razgnjevi se Mojsije. Baci iz ruku ploče i razbije ih na podnožju brda.
20 And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it with fire, and ground it to powder, and strewed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
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 Moses said unto Aaron: 'What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought a great sin upon them?'
“Što ti je ovaj puk učinio”, reče Mojsije Aronu, “da si tako velik grijeh na nj svalio?”
22 And Aaron said: 'Let not the anger of my lord wax hot; thou knowest the people, that they are set on evil.
“Neka se moj gospodar srdžbom ne raspaljuje”, odgovori Aron. “Sam dobro znaš kako je ovaj narod na zlo sklon.
23 So they said unto me: Make us a god, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
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.'
24 And I said unto them: Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off; so they gave it me; and I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.'
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.”
25 And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose — for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies —
Kad je Mojsije vidio kako je narod postao razuzdan - tÓa Aron ih je pustio da padnu u idolopoklonstvo među svojim neprijateljima -
26 then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said: 'Whoso is on the LORD'S side, let him come unto me.' And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
stade na taborskim vratima i povika: “Tko je za Jahvu, k meni!” Svi se sinovi Levijevi okupe oko njega.
27 And he said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Put ye every man his sword upon his thigh, and go to and fro from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.'
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.'”
28 And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
Sinovi Levijevi izvršiše Mojsijev nalog, i toga dana pade naroda oko tri tisuće ljudi.
29 And Moses said: 'Consecrate yourselves to-day to the LORD, for every man hath been against his son and against his brother; that He may also bestow upon you a blessing this day.'
“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.”
30 And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people: 'Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up unto the LORD, peradventure I shall make atonement for your sin.'
Sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: “Težak ste grijeh počinili. Ipak ću se Jahvi popeti. Možda za vaš grijeh oproštenje pribavim.”
31 And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said: 'Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them a god of gold.
Mojsije se vrati Jahvi pa reče: “Jao! Narod onaj težak je grijeh počinio napravivši sebi boga od zlata.
32 Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin —; and if not, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.'
Ipak im taj grijeh oprosti... Ako nećeš, onda i mene izbriši iz svoje knjige koju si napisao.”
33 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot out of My book.
Nato Jahve odgovori Mojsiju: “Onoga koji je protiv mene sagriješio izbrisat ću iz svoje knjige.
34 And now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee; behold, Mine angel shall go before thee; nevertheless in the day when I visit, I will visit their sin upon them.'
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.”
35 And the LORD smote the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Udari Jahve po narodu pomorom zbog teleta što im ga Aron načini.
