2 Mojzes 24

1 Mojzesu je rekel: »Pridite gor h Gospodu, ti in Aron, Nadáb in Abihú ter sedemdeset Izraelovih starešin in obožujte daleč stran.«

And he said to Moses: Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel, and you shall adore afar off.

2 Samo Mojzes pa bo prišel blizu Gospodu, toda oni naj ne pridejo blizu; niti ne bo ljudstvo z njim šlo gor.

And Moses alone shall come up to the Lord, but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people come up with him.

3 Mojzes je prišel in ljudstvu povedal vse Gospodove besede in vse sodbe, in vse ljudstvo je odgovorilo z enim glasom ter reklo: »Vse besede, ki jih je povedal Gospod, bomo izpolnjevali.«

So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: We will do all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken.

4 Mojzes je zapisal vse Gospodove besede in vstal zgodaj zjutraj in pod hribom zgradil oltar in dvanajst stebrov, glede na dvanajst Izraelovih rodov.

And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord: and rising in the morning he built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 Poslal je mladeniče izmed Izraelovih otrok, ki so darovali žgalne daritve in žrtvovali mirovne daritve volov Gospodu.

And he sent young men of the children of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and sacrificed pacific victims of calves to the Lord.

6 Mojzes je vzel polovico od krvi ter jo dal v umivalnike, polovico od krvi pa je poškropil na oltar.

Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls: and the rest he poured upon the altar.

7 Vzel je knjigo zaveze in bral v občinstvu ljudstva, in rekli so: »Vse, kar je rekel Gospod, bomo izpolnjevali in bomo poslušni.«

And taking the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people: and they said: All things that the Lord hath spoken we will do, we will be obedient.

8 Mojzes je vzel kri in jo poškropil na ljudstvo ter rekel: »Poglejte kri zaveze, ki jo je Gospod z vami sklenil glede vseh teh besed.«

And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he said: This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.

9 Potem so šli gor Mojzes in Aron, Nadáb in Abihú ter sedemdeset izmed Izraelovih starešin,

Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel went up:

10 in videli so Izraelovega Boga in pod njegovimi stopali je bilo kakor bi bilo to tlakovano delo iz kamna safirja in kakor bi bilo to nebeško telo v svoji jasnosti.

And they saw the God of Israel: and under his feet as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as the heaven, when clear.

11 Na plemiče Izraelovih otrok pa ni položil svoje roke; tudi oni so videli Boga in so jedli ter pili.

Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the children of Israel, that retired afar off, and they saw God, and they did eat and drink.

12 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Pridi gor k meni na goro in bodi tam, jaz pa ti bom dal kamniti plošči, postavo in zapovedi, ki sem jih zapisal, da jih boš lahko učil.«

And the Lord said to Moses: Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandments which I have written: that thou mayst teach them.

13 Mojzes je vstal ter njegov strežnik Józue in Mojzes je šel gor na goro Boga.

Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into the mount of God,

14 Starešinam pa je rekel: »Čakajte tukaj na naju, dokler ponovno ne prideva k vam. Glejte, Aron in Hur sta z vami. Če ima katerikoli človek za urediti kakršnekoli zadeve, naj pride k njima.«

Said to the ancients: Wait ye here till we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you: if any question shall arise, you shall refer it to them.

15 Mojzes je odšel gor na goro in goro je pokril oblak.

And when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount.

16 Gospodova slava je ostala na gori Sinaj in oblak jo je pokrival šest dni. Sedmi dan pa je iz srede oblaka zaklical k Mojzesu.

And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud six days: and the seventh day he called him out of the midst of the cloud.

17 Prizor Gospodove slave na vrhu gore je bil v očeh Izraelovih otrok podoben požirajočemu ognju.

And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire upon the top of the mount, in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 Mojzes je odšel v sredo oblaka in se povzpel na goro. Mojzes je bil na gori štirideset dni in štirideset noči.

And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights.
