< Exodus 32 >

1 [(Moses/I) stayed on top of the mountain a long time]. When the people realized that he/I was not returning quickly, they gathered near Aaron and said to him, “We do not know what has happened to that man Moses who brought us here out of Egypt. So quickly, make us ([an idol/a statue of a god]) who will lead us!”
А народ видевши где Мојсије за дуго не силази с горе, скупи се народ пред Арона, и рекоше му: Хајде, начини нам богове, који ће ићи пред нама, јер том Мојсију који нас изведе из земље мисирске не знамо шта би.
2 Aaron replied to them, “All right, [I will do that, but] tell your wives and your sons and your daughters to take off all their gold earrings and bring them to me.”
А Арон им рече: Поскидајте златне обоце што су у ушима жена ваших, синова ваших и кћери ваших, и донесите ми.
3 So the people did that. They took off all their gold earrings and brought them to Aaron.
И поскида сав народ златне обоце што им беху у ушима, и донесоше Арону.
4 He took all those gold earrings and melted them in a fire. He [poured the gold into a mold and] made a statue that looked like a young bull. The people saw it and said, “This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from the land of Egypt!”
А он узевши из руку њихових, сали у калуп, и начини теле саливено. И рекоше: Ово су богови твоји, Израиљу, који те изведоше из земље мисирске.
5 When Aaron saw [what was happening], he built an altar in front of the [statue of the] young bull. Then he announced, “Tomorrow we will have a festival to honor Yahweh!”
А кад то виде Арон, начини олтар пред њим; и повика Арон, и рече: Сутра је празник Господњи.
6 So the people got up early the next morning and brought animals to kill and burn as sacrifices on the altar. They also brought sacrifices to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. Then they sat down to eat and drink [wine]. Then they got up and started dancing in a very immoral way.
И сутрадан уставши рано принесоше жртве паљенице и жртве захвалне; и поседа народ, те једоше и пише, а после усташе да играју.
7 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go back down from the mountain, because your people, the ones that you brought up here from Egypt, have [already] (become very depraved/wicked)!
А Господ рече Мојсију: Иди, сиђи, јер се поквари твој народ, који си извео из земље мисирске.
8 They have already (left the road that I showed them/stopped obeying me)! They have made [a statue of] a young bull from melted gold. They have worshiped it and offered sacrifices to it. And they are saying, ‘This is the god of us Israeli people! This is the one who brought us up from Egypt!’”
Брзо зађоше с пута, који сам им заповедио; начинише себи теле ливено, и поклонише му се, и принесоше му жртву, и рекоше: Ово су богови твоји, Израиљу, који те изведоше из земље мисирске.
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “I have seen that these people are very stubborn.
Још рече Господ Мојсију: Погледах народ овај, и ето је народ тврдог врата.
10 I am very angry with them, and so I am going to get rid of them. Do not try to stop me! Then I will cause you and your descendants to become a great nation.”
И сада пусти ме, да се распали гнев мој на њих и да их истребим; али од тебе ћу учинити народ велик.
11 But Moses/I pleaded with his/my God, Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, (you should not be very angry with your people!/why are you so angry with your people [RHQ]?) These are the people whom you rescued from Egypt with very great power [MTY, DOU]!
А Мојсије се замоли Господу Богу свом, и рече: Зашто се, Господе, распаљује гнев Твој на народ Твој, који си извео из земље мисирске силом великом и руком крепком?
12 Do not [do anything that would] allow the people of Egypt to say, ‘Their god led them out from our country, but [he did that] only [because he wanted] to kill them in the mountains and get rid of them completely [RHQ]!’ Stop being so angry! (Change your mind/Do not do what you have told me that you will do)! Do not do to your people this terrible thing [that you have just said that you will do]
Зашто да говоре Мисирци и кажу: На зло их изведе, да их побије по планинама и да их истреби са земље? Поврати се од гнева свог, и пожали народ свој ода зла.
13 Think about your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. You solemnly promised them, ‘I will enable you to have as many descendants as there are stars in the sky.’ You said to them, ‘I will give to your descendants all the land that I am promising to give them. It will be their land forever.’”
Опомени се Аврама, Исака и Израиља, слуга својих, којима си се собом заклео и обрекао им: Умножићу семе ваше као звезде на небу, и земљу ову, за коју говорих, сву ћу дати семену вашем да је њихова довека.
14 So Yahweh changed his mind. He did not do to his people the terrible thing that he said he would do.
И ражали се Господу учинити зло народу свом, које рече.
15 Moses/I turned away from God and went down the mountain, carrying in his hands the two stone slabs on which Yahweh had engraved his commandments. He had written on both sides of the slabs.
Тада се врати Мојсије, и сиђе с горе са две плоче сведочанства у рукама својим; и плоче беху писане с обе стране, отуд и одовуд писане.
16 God [himself] had made the slabs, and he was the one who had engraved the commandments on them.
И беху плоче дело Божје, и писмо беше писмо Божје, урезано на плочама.
17 Joshua heard the very loud noise of the people shouting. So when he and I got near the camp, Joshua said, “There is a noise in the camp that sounds like [the noise of] a battle!”
А Исус чувши вику у народу, кад викаху, рече Мојсију; вика убојна у логору.
18 But Moses/I replied, [“No], that is not the shouting that people do when they have won a victory or when they have been defeated [in a battle] What I hear is the sound of [loud] singing!”
А он рече: Није то вика како вичу који су јачи, нити је вика како вичу који су слабији, него чујем вику оних који певају.
19 As soon as Moses/I came close to the camp and saw the statue of the young bull and saw the people dancing, he/I became extremely angry. He/I threw the stone tablets that he/I was carrying down onto the ground, there at the base of the mountain.
И кад дође близу логора, угледа теле и игре, те се разгневи Мојсије, и баци из руку својих плоче, и разби их под гором.
20 Then he/I took the statue of the young bull that they had made and melted it in the fire. [When it cooled], he/I ground it into [fine] powder. Then he/I mixed the powder with water and forced the Israeli people to drink it.
Па узе теле које беху начинили и спали га огњем, и сатре га у прах, и просу га по води, и запоји синове Израиљеве.
21 Then he/I said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, with the result that you have made them commit such a terrible sin?”
И рече Мојсије Арону: Шта ти је учинио овај народ, те га ували у толики грех?
22 Aaron replied, “Please do not be angry with me, sir. You know that these people are very determined to do evil things.
А Арон му рече: Немој се гневити, господару; ти знаш овај народ да је брз на зло.
23 They said to me, ‘As for that man Moses, the one who brought us up here from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him. So make for us an idol that will lead us!’
Јер рекоше ми: Начини нам богове, који ће ићи пред нама, јер том Мојсију који нас изведе из земље мисирске не знамо шта би.
24 So I said to them, ‘Everyone who is wearing [gold earrings] should take them off.’ So they [took them off and] gave them to me. I threw them into the fire, and out came this statue of a young bull!”
А ја им рекох: Ко има злата, нека га скида са себе. И дадоше ми, а ја га бацих у ватру, и изађе то теле.
25 Moses/I saw that Aaron had allowed the people to become completely out of control and to do things that would make their enemies think the Israeli people were foolish.
А Мојсије видећи народ го, јер га оголи Арон на срамоту пред противницима његовим,
26 So he/I stood at the entrance to the camp and shouted, “Everyone who is loyal to Yahweh should come [closer] to me!” So the descendants of Levi gathered around him/me.
Стаде Мојсије на врата од логора, и рече: К мени ко је Господњи. И скупише се пред њега сви синови Левијеви.
27 Then he/I said to them, “Yahweh, the God of us Israeli people, commands that every one of you should fasten your sword to your side, and then go through the camp from this entrance to the other one, and kill some of your relatives and your companions and your neighbors.”
И рече им: Овако каже Господ Бог Израиљев: Припашите сваки свој мач уз бедро своје, па прођите тамо и амо по логору од врата до врата, и побијте сваки брата свог и пријатеља свог и ближњег свог.
28 The descendants of Levi did what Moses/I told them to do, and they killed 3,000 men on that day.
И учинише синови Левијеви по заповести Мојсијевој, и погибе народа у онај дан до три хиљаде људи.
29 Moses/I said to the descendants of Levi, “Today you have dedicated yourselves to serving Yahweh by (killing/not sparing) [even] your own sons and brothers, and as a result Yahweh will bless you.”
Јер Мојсије рече: Посветите данас руке своје Господу, свак на сину свом и на брату свом, да би вам дао данас благослов.
30 The next day, Moses/I said to the people, “You have committed a terrible sin. But I will now climb up the mountain again to talk with Yahweh. Perhaps I can [persuade him] to forgive you for sinning [like this].”
А сутрадан рече Мојсије народу: Ви љуто сагрешисте; зато сада идем горе ка Господу, еда бих га умолио да вам опрости грех.
31 So Moses/I went back up the mountain and said to Yahweh, “I am sorry to admit that these people have committed a terrible sin. They have made for themselves a gold idol and have worshiped it.
И врати се Мојсије ка Господу, и рече: Молим Ти се; народ овај љуто сагреши начинивши себи богове од злата.
32 But now I ask you to please forgive them for having sinned. If you will not forgive them, then erase my name from the book in which you have written [the names of your people].”
Али опрости им грех: Ако ли нећеш, избриши ме из књиге своје, коју си написао.
33 But Yahweh said to Moses/me, “It is [only] those who have sinned against me whose names I will erase from that book.
А Господ рече Мојсију: Ко ми је згрешио, оног ћу избрисати из књиге своје.
34 Now you go back down and lead the [Israeli] people to the place that I told you about. Keep in mind that my angel will go in front of you. But, at the time that I determine, I will punish them for their sin.”
А сада иди, води тај народ куда сам ти казао. Ево, мој ће анђео ићи пред тобом, а кад их походим, походићу на њима грех њихов.
35 [Later] Yahweh caused a plague to strike the people because they had told Aaron to make the gold [statue of a] young bull.
И Господ би народ зато што начинише теле, које сали Арон.
