< Numbers 3 >

1 These are some of the things that happened to Aaron and Moses/me when Yahweh spoke to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain.
Ovo je potomstvo Aronovo i Mojsijevo iz vremena kad je Jahve Mojsiju govorio na Sinajskom brdu.
2 Aaron’s four sons were Nadab the oldest, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Ovo su bila imena Aronovih sinova: prvorođenac Nadab, zatim Abihu, Eleazar i Itamar.
3 They were appointed [MTY] (OR, Moses/I appointed them) to be priests.
To su imena Aronovih sinova, svećenika pomazanih, za svećeništvo posvećenih.
4 But, while Yahweh was watching, Nadab and Abihu died in the Sinai Desert because they burned [incense] in a manner that was different from what Yahweh had commanded. They had no sons, so Eleazar and Ithamar were the [only] sons of Aaron who [were left to be] priests, along with their father Aaron.
Ali Nadab i Abihu umriješe pred Jahvom kad su u Sinajskoj pustinji pred njim prinosili neposvećenu vatru. Kako nisu imali sinova, to su Eleazar i Itamar služili kao svećenici u nazočnosti svoga oca Arona.
5 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
6 “Bring [the men of] the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron, in order that they may assist him.
“Dozovi pleme Levijevo neka stane pred svećenika Arona. Neka mu poslužuju;
7 They will serve Aaron and all the other Israeli people, while they do their work inside the Sacred Tent and outside it.
neka vrše njegovu dužnost i dužnost sve zajednice pred Šatorom sastanka, služeći Prebivalištu.
8 They must serve all the Israeli people by taking care of all the things that are inside the Sacred Tent.
Neka se brinu za sav namještaj u Šatoru sastanka, za dužnost sinova izraelovih, i obavljaju službu u Prebivalištu.
9 Appoint them to [help] Aaron and his two sons. I have chosen them from all the Israeli people to do that.
Podaj levite Aronu i njegovim sinovima. Neka mu ih Izraelci potpuno daruju.
10 Appoint Aaron and his two sons to do the work that priests do. But anyone else who comes close to the Sacred Tent [to do that work] must be executed.”
Arona i njegove sinove postavi da vrše svoju svećeničku službu. A svjetovnjak koji bi se tome približio neka se pogubi.”
11 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Jahve reče Mojsiju:
12 “Note that from all the Israelis, I have chosen the men of the tribe of Levi to take the places of all the firstborn sons of the Israeli people. The male descendants of Levi belong to me,
“Ja, evo, uzimam Levijevce između Izraelaca namjesto svih prvorođenaca - onih koji otvaraju materinju utrobu kod Izraelaca. Moji su, dakle, Levijevci!
13 because truly all the firstborn [males] belong to me. That is because on the day that I killed all the firstborn [sons] of the people of Egypt, I [spared] all the firstborn [sons] of the Israelis and set them apart for myself. I also set apart the firstborn [males] of your domestic animals. They belong to me, Yahweh.”
Meni, naime, pripada svaki prvorođenac. Onoga dana kad sam pobio sve prvence u zemlji egipatskoj, sebi sam posvetio sve prvorođence u Izraelu - i od ljudi i od stoke. Oni su moji. Ja sam Jahve.”
14 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me again in the Sinai Desert. He said,
Jahve reče Mojsiju u Sinajskoj pustinji:
15 “Count the male members of the tribe of Levi. Write down their names and the names of their clans and family groups. Count all the males who are at least one month old.”
“Popiši Levijevce po njihovim porodicama i rodovima; popiši sve muškarce od jednoga mjeseca i više.”
16 So Moses/I counted them, just as Yahweh commanded.
Na zapovijed Jahvinu Mojsije ih popisa, kako mu je bilo naređeno.
17 Levi had [three] sons, whose names were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Ovo su poimenice bili sinovi Levijevi: Geršon, Kehat i Merari.
18 Gershon had [two] sons: Libni and Shimei. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons.
A ovo su imena Geršonovih sinova po njihovim rodovima: Libni i Šimi.
19 Kohath had [four] sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [four] sons.
A sinovi su Kehatovi po svojim rodovima: Amram, Jishar, Hebron i Uziel.
20 Merari had [two] sons: Mahli and Mushi. The clans that were descended from them had the same names as those [two] sons. Those are the clans that were descended from Levi.
Sinovi su Merarijevi po svojim rodovima: Mahli i Muši. To su Levijevi rodovi po svojim porodicama.
21 The two clans descended from Gershon are those that were descended from [his sons] Libni and Shimei.
Od Geršona lozu vuče rod Libnijev i rod Šimijev. To su rodovi Geršonovaca.
22 In those two clans there were 7,500 males who were at least one month old.
Njih je u popisu svih muškaraca od jednoga mjeseca naviše ubilježeno sedam tisuća i pet stotina.
23 They were told to set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent.
Rodovi Geršonovaca taborovali su za Prebivalištem prema zapadu.
24 The leader of those two clans was Eliasaph, the son of Lael.
Glava porodice Geršonovaca bijaše Elijasaf, sin Laelov.
25 Their work was to take care of the Sacred Tent, including the coverings of the tent, the curtain at the entrance of the tent,
Geršonovci su se u Šatoru sastanka brinuli za Prebivalište, za Šator i njegov krov, za zavjese na ulazu u Šator sastanka;
26 the (curtains/large pieces of cloth) that formed the walls around the courtyard that is around the tent and around the altar, the curtains that were at the entrance of the courtyard, and the ropes [for fastening the tent]. They also did all the work of taking care of the things outside the Sacred Tent.
onda za dvorišne zavjese, za zavjesu na ulazu u dvorište što je oko Prebivališta i žrtvenika, za njihova užeta i za sve što spada na tu službu.
27 The clans that were descended from Kohath were those descended from his four sons: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel.
Od Kehata potječe rod Amramov, rod Jisharov, rod Hebronov i rod Uzielov. To su rodovi Kehatovaca.
28 In those four clans there were 8,600 males who were at least one month old. The work of the men of the clans was to take care of [the things that are inside] the Sacred Tent.
Kad se popisaše svi muškarci od jednoga mjeseca naviše, bilo ih je osam tisuća i šest stotina. Oni su se brinuli za Svetište.
29 They set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent.
Rodovi Kehatovaca taborovali su s južne strane Prebivališta.
30 The leader of those four clans was Elizaphan, the son of Uzziel.
Glava rodova u domu Kehatovu bijaše Elisafan, sin Uzielov.
31 The work of the men of those clans was to take care of the sacred chest, the table [on which the priest put the sacred bread], the lampstand, the altars, all the items that the priest used in the Sacred Tent, and the curtain that is inside the tent. Their work was also to take care of the things inside the tent.
Oni su se brinuli za Kovčeg, stol, svijećnjak, žrtvenik i sveti pribor kojim su se služili i, konačno, za zavjesu i za sve što joj pripada.
32 Aaron’s son Eleazar was the leader of all the male descendants of Levi. He supervised all the work that was done at the Sacred Tent.
Vrhovni poglavar levita bio je Eleazar, sin svećenika Arona. On je vršio nadzor nad onima koji su se brinuli za Svetište.
33 The clans that were descended from Merari were those descended from [his sons] Mahli and Mushi.
Od Merarija potječe rod Mahlijev i rod Mušijev. To su Merarijevi rodovi.
34 In those two clans there were 6,200 males who were at least one month old.
Njih je u popisu svih muškaraca od jednoga mjeseca i više ubilježeno šest tisuća i dvije stotine.
35 They were told to set up their tents on the north side of the Sacred Tent. The leader of those two clans was Zuriel, the son of Abihail.
Glava rodova u domu Merarijevu bijaše Suriel, sin Abihajilov. Oni su taborovali sa sjeverne strane Prebivališta.
36 The work of the men of those two clans was to take care of the frames that held up the tent, the crossbars, the pillars, and the bases. They also did all the work that was connected with those items.
Merarijevci su se brinuli za trenice Prebivališta, za njegove priječnice, za stupce i njihova podnožja, za sav njegov pribor i za sve što spada na njegovu službu.
37 Their work was also to take care of the posts [that held up the curtains that formed the walls of] the courtyard, and all the bases, tent pegs, and ropes [that fastened those curtains].
Povrh toga, za stupove uokolo predvorja, njihova podnožja, kočiće i užeta.
38 Aaron and Moses/I and Aaron’s sons were told to set up their/our tents in the area in front of the Sacred Tent, on the east side. Their/Our work was to supervise the work that would be done in and around the Sacred Tent, for the benefit of the Israeli people. Only the priests were permitted to do that. [Yahweh declared that] we should execute anyone else who went near the tent [to do the work that the priests do].
Pred Prebivalištem prema istoku, pred Šatorom sastanka s istočne strane, utaborivali se Mojsije, Aron i njihovi sinovi, kojima je u ime Izraelaca bila povjerena služba u Svetištu. Svjetovnjak koji bi se približio imao se pogubiti.
39 When Aaron and Moses/I counted all the males who were at least one month old, who belonged to the clans descended from Levi, the total was 22,000.
Svih popisanih Levijevaca od jednoga mjeseca naviše, koje je na Jahvinu zapovijed po njihovim rodovima popisao Mojsije i Aron, bijaše dvadeset i dvije tisuće.
40 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Now count all the [other] firstborn males in Israel who are at least one month old, and write down their names.
Jahve rekne Mojsiju: “Popiši sve muške prvorođence izraelske od jednoga mjeseca naviše te načini popis njihovih imena.
41 Also, set apart for me the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn males of the other Israelis. And set apart for me the livestock of the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for the firstborn livestock of the other Israeli people.”
I levite dodijeli meni - ja sam Jahve - namjesto svih prvorođenaca izraelskih, a stoku levitsku namjesto sve prvenčadi stoke izraelske.”
42 So Moses/I did that. He/I counted the firstborn males of all the Israeli people, as Yahweh had commanded.
Tako Mojsije popiše sve prvorođence izraelske, kako mu je Jahve naredio.
43 The total of those who were at least one month old was 22,273.
Svih muških prvorođenaca od jednoga mjeseca naviše bijaše u popisu imena dvadeset i dvije tisuće i dvije stotine sedamdeset i tri.
44 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Tada Jahve reče Mojsiju:
45 “Set apart the descendants of Levi to be substitutes for [the firstborn males of] the other Israeli people. The descendants of Levi belong to me, Yahweh.
“Uzmi levite namjesto svih prvorođenaca izraelskih, a stoku levitsku namjesto stoke njihove; leviti neka budu moji. Ja sam Jahve.
46 There are 273 more firstborn males of the other Israeli people than of the descendants of Levi.
A za otkupninu dvjesta sedamdeset i triju izraelskih prvorođenaca što ih je više nego levita,
47 To pay for these 273 males, collect five pieces of silver for each of them. Each of those pieces of silver must weigh the same as each of the silver coins that are stored in the Sacred Tent. Give this silver to Aaron and his sons.”
uzmi pet šekela po glavi, uzmi ih prema hramskom šekelu: dvadeset gera - jedan šekel.
Onda podaj taj novac Aronu i njegovim sinovima za otkupninu onih kojih je odviše.”
49 So Moses/I did that. He/I collected the silver from those 273 males.
Tako Mojsije primi taj novac kao otkupninu za prvorođence koji su nadilazili broj onih koje su leviti otkupili.
50 The total was 1,365 pieces of silver. Each silver coin weighed the same as each of the silver coins stored in the Sacred Tent.
Od izraelskih je prvorođenaca primio u srebru tisuću trista šezdeset i pet šekela hramske mjere.
51 Moses/I gave these silver coins to Aaron and his sons, as Yahweh had commanded.
Po nalogu Jahvinu Mojsije predade novac te otkupnine Aronu i njegovim sinovima, kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio.
