Exodus 24

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Biblija Hrvatski
1 He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from a distance.	1 Potom reče Mojsiju: »Uzađi k Jahvi – ti, Aron, Nadab i Abihu i sedamdeset izraelskih starješina. Poklonite se izdaljega!
2 And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”	2 Neka se sam Mojsije primakne k Jahvi! Oni neka se ne primiču, a puk neka se s njim ne penje.«
3 Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”	3 Dođe Mojsije i kaza narodu sve riječi Jahvine i sve odredbe. A sav puk odgovori u jedan glas: »Sve riječi što ih Jahve reče, vršit ćemo.«
4 Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.	4 Tada Mojsije popiše sve riječi Jahvine. A ujutro podrani te podigne žrtvenik na podnožju brda i dvanaest stupova za dvanaest plemena Izraelovih.
5 And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.	5 Zatim naloži mladim Izraelcima da prinesu žrtve paljenice i da žrtvuju Jahvi junce kao žrtve pričesnice.
6 And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over the altar.	6 Mojsije uhvati krv; polovinu krvi ulije u posude, a polovinu izlije po žrtveniku.
7 And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.”	7 Prihvati zatim Knjigu Saveza pa je narodu glasno pročita, a narod uzvrati: »Sve što je Jahve rekao, izvršit ćemo i poslušat ćemo.«
8 In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”	8 Mojsije potom uzme krvi te poškropi narod govoreći: »Ovo je krv saveza koji je Jahve s vama uspostavio na temelju svih ovih riječi.«
9 And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.	9 Onda se uspne Mojsije s Aronom, Nadabom i Abihuom i sa sedamdeset starješina Izraelovih.
10 And they saw the God of Israel. And under his feet was something like a work of sapphire stone, or like the sky, when it is serene.	10 Oni vidješe Boga Izraelova: podnožje njegovim nogama kao da je bilo od dragoga kamena safira, sjajem nalik na samo nebo.
11 Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, and they ate and drank.	11 Ni ruke svoje nije pružio na izabranike Izraelaca: slobodno su Boga motrili i jeli i pili.
12 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”	12 Onda Jahve reče Mojsiju: »Popni se k meni na brdo i pričekaj ondje. Dat ću ti kamene ploče sa zakonom i zapovijedima koje sam za njihovu pouku napisao.«
13 Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,	13 Ustane Mojsije i njegov pomoćnik Jošua te se Mojsije popne na brdo Božje.
14 said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”	14 A starješinama reče: »Čekajte nas ovdje dok se ne vratimo. Eto je s vama Aron i Hur. Tko imadne kakvu razmiricu, neka se obrati na njih.«
15 And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.	15 Zatim Mojsije uzađe na brdo, a onda oblak prekri brdo.
16 And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud for six days. And on the seventh day, he called to him from the middle of the mist.	16 Slava se Jahvina nastani na Sinajskom brdu i oblak ga obavijaše šest dana. Sedmoga dana zovne Jahve Mojsija iz oblaka.
17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire over the summit of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel.	17 Slava Jahvina na vrhuncu brda bijaše očima Izraelaca kao vatra koja sažiže. Mojsije zađe u oblak i uspne se na brdo.
18 And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.	18 Četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći boravio je Mojsije na brdu.
