Numbers 14
1 Then the whole congregation lifted up their voices and cried out, and that night the people wept.
Tada zagraja sva zajednica i poče vikati. I te noći narod plakaše.
2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
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!
3 Why is the LORD bringing us into this land to fall by the sword? Our wives and children will become plunder. Would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?”
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!”
4 So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.”
Jedan je drugome govorio: “Postavimo sebi vođu i vratimo se u Egipat!”
5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown before the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel.
Mojsije i Aron padoše ničice pred svom okupljenom izraelskom zajednicom.
6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes
A Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, koji bijahu među onima što su izviđali zemlju, razderaše svoju odjeću.
7 and said to the whole congregation of Israel, “The land we passed through and explored is an exceedingly good land.
Zatim rekoše svoj zajednici izraelskoj: “Zemlja kroz koju smo prošli da je istražimo izvanredno je dobra.
8 If the LORD delights in us, He will bring us into this land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and He will give it to us.
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.
9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, and do not be afraid of the people of the land, for they will be like bread for us. Their protection has been removed, and the LORD is with us. Do not be afraid of them!”
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!”
10 But the whole congregation threatened to stone Joshua and Caleb. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to all the Israelites at the Tent of Meeting.
I dok je sva zajednica već mislila da ih kamenuje, pokaza se Slava Jahvina u Šatoru sastanka svima sinovima Izraelovim.
11 And the LORD said to Moses, “How long will this people treat Me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in Me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?
Tada reče Mojsiju: “Dokle će me taj narod prezirati? Dokle mi neće vjerovati unatoč svim znamenjima što sam ih među njima izvodio?
12 I will strike them with a plague and destroy them—and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are.”
Udarit ću ih pomorom i istrijebiti, a od tebe ću učiniti narod veći i moćniji od njega.”
13 But Moses said to the LORD, “The Egyptians will hear of it, for by Your strength You brought this people from among them.
Onda Mojsije reče Jahvi: “Egipćani su shvatili da si ti, svojom moći, izveo ovaj narod između njih.
14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have already heard that You, O LORD, are in the midst of this people, that You, O LORD, have been seen face to face, that Your cloud stands over them, and that You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
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.
15 If You kill this people as one man, the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,
Zato, ako pobiješ ovaj narod kao jednoga čovjeka, narodi koji su čuli glas o tebi reći će:
16 ‘Because the LORD was unable to bring this people into the land He swore to give them, He has slaughtered them in the wilderness.’
'Jahve je bio nemoćan da dovede ovaj narod u zemlju koju mu je pod zakletvom obećao, i zato ih je poubijao u pustinji.'
17 So now I pray, may the power of my Lord be magnified, just as You have declared:
Zato neka se snaga moga Gospodina uzvisi, kako si najavio rekavši:
18 ‘The LORD is slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers upon their children to the third and fourth generation.’
'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.'
19 Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people, in keeping with the greatness of Your loving devotion, just as You have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”
Oprosti krivnju ovome narodu po veličini svoga milosrđa, kao što si vodio ovaj narod od Egipta dovde.”
20 “I have pardoned them as you requested,” the LORD replied.
“Opraštam po riječi tvojoj”, reče Jahve.
21 “Yet as surely as I live and as surely as the whole earth is filled with the glory of the LORD,
“Ali ipak, tako ja živ bio i slave se Jahvine napunila sva zemlja,
22 not one of the men who have seen My glory and the signs I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness—yet have tested Me and disobeyed Me these ten times—
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,
23 not one will ever see the land that I swore to give their fathers. None of those who have treated Me with contempt will see it.
neće vidjeti zemlje što sam je pod zakletvom obećao njihovim ocima; nitko od onih koji me preziru neće je vidjeti.
24 But because My servant Caleb has a different spirit and has followed Me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he has entered, and his descendants will inherit it.
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.
25 Now since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn back tomorrow and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
Sutra se vratite i krenite u pustinju put Crvenog mora.”
26 Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
Još reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
27 “How long will this wicked congregation grumble against Me? I have heard the complaints that the Israelites are making against Me.
“Dokle će ta opaka zajednica mrmljati protiv mene? Čuo sam tužbe što ih Izraelci na me dižu.
28 So tell them: As surely as I live, declares the LORD, I will do to you exactly as I heard you say.
Kaži im: Tako ja živ bio, objavljuje Jahve, kako ste na moje uši govorili, tako ću vam i učiniti.
29 Your bodies will fall in this wilderness—all who were numbered in the census, everyone twenty years of age or older—because you have grumbled against Me.
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.
30 Surely none of you will enter the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
Nećete ući u zemlju na koju sam svoju ruku digao da vas u njoj nastanim, osim Kaleba, sina Jefuneova, i Jošue, sina Nunova.
31 But I will bring your children, whom you said would become plunder, into the land you have rejected—and they will enjoy it.
A vašu djecu, o kojoj kažete da bi postala roblje, njih ću uvesti da nastane zemlju što ste je vi prezreli.
32 As for you, however, your bodies will fall in this wilderness.
A vi? Neka vam tjelesa popadaju u ovoj pustinji!
33 Your children will be shepherds in the wilderness for forty years, and they will suffer for your unfaithfulness until the last of your bodies lies in the wilderness.
Vaši sinovi neka lutaju pustinjom četrdeset godina, neka trpe zbog vaše nevjere dok vam ne ispropadaju tjelesa u ovoj pustinji.
34 In keeping with the forty days you spied out the land, you shall bear your guilt forty years—a year for each day—and you will experience My alienation.
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.
35 I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will surely do these things to this entire wicked congregation, which has conspired against Me. They will meet their end in the wilderness, and there they will die.”
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.”
36 So the men Moses had sent to spy out the land, who had returned and made the whole congregation grumble against him by bringing out a bad report about the land—
A oni ljudi koje Mojsije bijaše poslao da istraže zemlju i koji su nakon povratka potakli svu zajednicu da rogobori protiv njega ozloglašujući zemlju;
37 those men who had brought out the bad report about the land—were struck down by a plague before the LORD.
oni, dakle, ljudi koji su zlobno ozloglasili zemlju bijahu pomoreni pred Jahvom.
38 Of those men who had gone to spy out the land, only Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive.
Od onih ljudi koji su išli da istraže zemlju ostadoše na životu jedino Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov.
39 And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.
Kad je Mojsije prenio te riječi svim Izraelcima, narod se uvelike ražalosti.
40 Early the next morning they got up and went up toward the ridge of the hill country. “We have indeed sinned,” they said, “but we will go to the place the LORD has promised.”
I uranivši ujutro počnu se uspinjati na vrh brda govoreći. “Evo uzlazimo na mjesto o kojem je govorio Jahve jer smo zgriješili.”
41 But Moses said, “Why are you transgressing the commandment of the LORD? This will not succeed!
A Mojsije rekne: “Zašto kršite zapovijed Jahvinu? Nećete uspjeti.
42 Do not go up, lest you be struck down by your enemies, because the LORD is not among you.
Ne penjite se, da vas ne potuku vaši neprijatelji, jer Jahve nije među vama.
43 For there the Amalekites and Canaanites will face you, and you will fall by the sword. Because you have turned away from the LORD, He will not be with you.”
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.”
44 But they dared to go up to the ridge of the hill country, though neither Moses nor the ark of the covenant of the LORD moved from the camp.
Ali se oni prkosno penjahu prema vrhu brda, iako se ni Kovčeg saveza Jahvina ni Mojsije nisu micali iz tabora.
45 Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
Amalečani i Kanaanci koji su živjeli na onome brdu spuste se, udare po njima i rasprše ih sve do Horme.
