Exodus 32
1 And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, gathering together against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen 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 to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring 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 the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron.
Sav svijet skine zlatne naušnice što ih je o ušima imao i donese Aronu.
4 And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders’ work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee 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 made proclamation by a crier’s voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.
Vidjevši to Aron, sagradi pred njim žrtvenik a onda najavi: “Sutra neka se priredi svečanost u čast Jahvi!”
6 And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat, and drink, and they rose up to play.
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 to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned.
“Požuri se dolje!” - progovori Jahve Mojsiju. “Narod tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, pošao je naopako.
8 They have quickly strayed from the way which thou didst shew them: and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee 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 again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked:
Dobro vidim”, reče dalje Jahve Mojsiju, “da je ovaj narod tvrde šije.
10 Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy 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 But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation kindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought 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 Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech thee: He craftily brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of 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 sworest by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to you seed, and you shall possess 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 was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.
I Jahve odustane da na svoj narod svali nesreću kojom mu bijaše zaprijetio.
15 And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,
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 made by the work of God: the writing also of God was graven in the tables.
Ploče su bile djelo Božje; pismo je bilo pismo Božje u pločama urezano.
17 And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.
A Jošua ču viku naroda koji je bučio pa reče Mojsiju: “Bojna vika u taboru!”
18 But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight, nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of singers.
Mojsije mu odgovori: “Niti viču pobjednici, niti tuže pobijeđeni: tu ja samo pjesmu čujem.”
19 And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and broke them at the foot of 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 laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and beat it to powder, which he strowed into water, and gave thereof to the children of Israel to drink.
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 he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?
“Što ti je ovaj puk učinio”, reče Mojsije Aronu, “da si tako velik grijeh na nj svalio?”
22 And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.
“Neka se moj gospodar srdžbom ne raspaljuje”, odgovori Aron. “Sam dobro znaš kako je ovaj narod na zlo sklon.
23 They said to me: Make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen 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 to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and brought it to me: and I cast it into the fire, and this calf 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 when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them naked 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 standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on the Lord’s side let him join with 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 to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and 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 words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.
Sinovi Levijevi izvršiše Mojsijev nalog, i toga dana pade naroda oko tri tisuće ljudi.
29 And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you.
“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 when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means I may be able to entreat him for your crime.
Sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: “Težak ste grijeh počinili. Ipak ću se Jahvi popeti. Možda za vaš grijeh oproštenje pribavim.”
31 And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass,
Mojsije se vrati Jahvi pa reče: “Jao! Narod onaj težak je grijeh počinio napravivši sebi boga od zlata.
32 Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.
Ipak im taj grijeh oprosti... Ako nećeš, onda i mene izbriši iz svoje knjige koju si napisao.”
33 And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book:
Nato Jahve odgovori Mojsiju: “Onoga koji je protiv mene sagriješio izbrisat ću iz svoje knjige.
34 But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this sin also of theirs.
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 The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.
Udari Jahve po narodu pomorom zbog teleta što im ga Aron načini.
