Exodus 32
1 And when the people saw that Moses was a long time coming down from the mountain, they all came to Aaron and said to him, Come, make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has 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 Then Aaron said to them, Take off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives and your sons and your daughters, and give them to 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 took the gold rings from their ears and gave them to Aaron.
Sav svijet skine zlatne naušnice što ih je o ušima imao i donese Aronu.
4 And he took the gold from them and, hammering it with an instrument, he made it into the metal image of a young ox: and they said, This is your god, O Israel, who took you 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 made an altar before it, and made a public statement, saying, Tomorrow there will 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 So early on the day after they got up and made burned offerings and peace-offerings; and took their seats at the feast, and then gave themselves to pleasure.
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 said to Moses, Go down quickly; for your people, whom you took out of the land of Egypt, are turned to evil ways;
“Požuri se dolje!” - progovori Jahve Mojsiju. “Narod tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, pošao je naopako.
8 Even now they are turned away from the rule I gave them, and have made themselves a metal ox and given worship to it and offerings, saying, This is your god, O Israel, who took you 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 to Moses, I have been watching this people, and I see that they are a stiff-necked people.
Dobro vidim”, reče dalje Jahve Mojsiju, “da je ovaj narod tvrde šije.
10 Now do not get in my way, for my wrath is burning against them; I will send destruction on them, but of you I will make a great nation.
Pusti sada neka se moj gnjev na njih raspali da ih istrijebim. Onda ću od tebe razviti velik narod.”
11 But Moses made prayer to God, saying, Lord, why is your wrath burning against your people whom you took out of the land of Egypt, with great power and with the strength of your 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 Why let the Egyptians say, He took them out to an evil fate, to put them to death on the mountains, cutting them off from the earth? Let your wrath be turned away from them, and send not this evil on your 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 Have in mind Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you gave your oath, saying, I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and all this land will I give to your seed, as I said, to be their heritage 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 So the Lord let himself be turned from his purpose of sending punishment on his people.
I Jahve odustane da na svoj narod svali nesreću kojom mu bijaše zaprijetio.
15 Then Moses came down the mountain with the two stones of the law in his hand; the stones had writing on their two sides, on the front and on the back.
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 The stones were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, cut on the stones.
Ploče su bile djelo Božje; pismo je bilo pismo Božje u pločama urezano.
17 Now when the noise and the voices of the people came to the ears of Joshua, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the tents.
A Jošua ču viku naroda koji je bučio pa reče Mojsiju: “Bojna vika u taboru!”
18 And Moses said, It is not the voice of men who are overcoming in the fight, or the cry of those who have been overcome; it is the sound of songs which comes to my ear.
Mojsije mu odgovori: “Niti viču pobjednici, niti tuže pobijeđeni: tu ja samo pjesmu čujem.”
19 And when he came near the tents he saw the image of the ox, and the people dancing; and in his wrath Moses let the stones go from his hands, and they were broken at the foot of the mountain.
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 ox which they had made, burning it in the fire and crushing it to powder, and he put it in the water and made the children of Israel take a 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 to Aaron, What did the people do to you that you let this great sin come on them?
“Što ti je ovaj puk učinio”, reče Mojsije Aronu, “da si tako velik grijeh na nj svalio?”
22 And Aaron said, Let not my lord be angry; you have seen how the purposes of this people are evil.
“Neka se moj gospodar srdžbom ne raspaljuje”, odgovori Aron. “Sam dobro znaš kako je ovaj narod na zlo sklon.
23 For they said to me, Make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has come to 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 Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.
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 Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them loose to their shame before their haters:
Kad je Mojsije vidio kako je narod postao razuzdan - tÓa Aron ih je pustio da padnu u idolopoklonstvo među svojim neprijateljima -
26 Then Moses took his place at the way into the tents, and said, Whoever is on the Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi came together to him.
stade na taborskim vratima i povika: “Tko je za Jahvu, k meni!” Svi se sinovi Levijevi okupe oko njega.
27 And he said to them, This is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: Let every man take his sword at his side, and go from one end of the tents to the other, putting to death his brother and his friend and 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 as Moses said; and about three thousand of the people were put to death that day.
Sinovi Levijevi izvršiše Mojsijev nalog, i toga dana pade naroda oko tri tisuće ljudi.
29 And Moses said, You have made yourselves priests to the Lord this day; for every one of you has made the offering of his son and his brother; the blessing of the Lord is on you 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 on the day after, Moses said to the people, Great has been your sin: but I will go up to the Lord, and see if I may get forgiveness for your sin.
Sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: “Težak ste grijeh počinili. Ipak ću se Jahvi popeti. Možda za vaš grijeh oproštenje pribavim.”
31 Then Moses went back to the Lord and said, This people has done a great sin, making themselves a god of gold;
Mojsije se vrati Jahvi pa reče: “Jao! Narod onaj težak je grijeh počinio napravivši sebi boga od zlata.
32 But now, if you will give them forgiveness — but if not, let my name be taken out of your book.
Ipak im taj grijeh oprosti... Ako nećeš, onda i mene izbriši iz svoje knjige koju si napisao.”
33 And the Lord said to Moses, Whoever has done evil against me will be taken out of my book.
Nato Jahve odgovori Mojsiju: “Onoga koji je protiv mene sagriješio izbrisat ću iz svoje knjige.
34 But now, go, take the people into that place of which I have given you word; see, my angel will go before you: but when the time of my judging has come, I will send punishment on them for their sin.
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 sent punishment on the people because they gave worship to the ox which Aaron made.
Udari Jahve po narodu pomorom zbog teleta što im ga Aron načini.
