Numbers 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 At this, the whole community broke out with loud cries, and even in the night the people wailed.	1 Tada zagraja sva zajednica i poče vikati. I te noći narod plakaše.
2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, the whole community saying to them, "Would that we had died in the land of Egypt, or that here in the desert we were dead!	2 Svi su Izraelci mrmljali protiv Mojsija i Arona. Sva im je zajednica govorila: »Kamo sreće da smo pomrli u zemlji egipatskoj! Ili da smo pomrli u ovoj pustinji!
3 Why is the LORD bringing us into this land only to have us fall by the sword? Our wives and little ones will be taken as booty. Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?"	3 Zašto nas Jahve vodi u tu zemlju da padnemo od mača a žene naše i djeca da postanu roblje? Zar nam ne bi bilo bolje da se vratimo u Egipat?«
4 So they said to one another, "Let us appoint a leader and go back to Egypt."	4 Jedan je drugome govorio: »Postavimo sebi vođu i vratimo se u Egipat!«
5 But Moses and Aaron fell prostrate before the whole assembled community of the Israelites;	5 Mojsije i Aron padoše ničice pred svom okupljenom izraelskom zajednicom.
6 while Joshua, son of Nun, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh, who had been in the party that scouted the land, tore their garments	6 A Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, koji bijahu među onima što su izviđali zemlju, razderaše svoju odjeću.
7 and said to the whole community of the Israelites, "The country which we went through and explored is a fine, rich land.	7 Zatim rekoše svoj zajednici izraelskoj: »Zemlja kroz koju smo prošli da je istražimo izvanredno je dobra.
8 If the LORD is pleased with us, he will bring us in and give us that land, a land flowing with milk and honey.	8 Ako nam Jahve bude dobrostiv, u tu će nas zemlju dovesti i dat će nam je. To je zemlja u kojoj teče med i mlijeko.
9 But do not rebel against the LORD! You need not be afraid of the people of that land; they are but food for us! Their defense has left them, but the LORD is with us. Therefore, do not be afraid of them."	9 Samo, nemojte se buniti protiv Jahve! Ne bojte se naroda one zemlje: ta on je zalogaj za nas. Oni su bez zaštite, a s nama je Jahve! Ne bojte ih se!«
10 In answer, the whole community threatened to stone them. But then the glory of the LORD appeared at the meeting tent to all the Israelites.	10 I dok je sva zajednica već mislila da ih kamenuje, pokaza se slava Jahvina u Šatoru sastanka svim sinovima Izraelovim.
11 And the LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people spurn me? How long will they refuse to believe in me, despite all the signs I have performed among them?	11 Tada reče Mojsiju: »Dokle će me taj narod prezirati? Dokle mi neće vjerovati unatoč svim znamenjima što sam ih među njima izvodio?
12 I will strike them with pestilence and wipe them out. Then I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they."	12 Udarit ću ih pomorom i istrijebiti, a od tebe ću učiniti narod veći i moćniji od njega.«
13 But Moses said to the LORD: "Are the Egyptians to hear of this? For by your power you brought out this people from among them.	13 Onda Mojsije reče Jahvi: »Egipćani su shvatili da si ti, svojom moći, izveo ovaj narod između njih.
14 And are they to tell of it to the inhabitants of this land? It has been heard that you, O LORD, are in the midst of this people; you, LORD, who plainly reveal yourself! Your cloud stands over them, and you go before them by day in a column of cloud and by night in a column of fire.	14 Oni su to kazali žiteljima one zemlje. Već su saznali da si ti, Jahve, usred ovog naroda, kojemu se očituješ licem u lice, i da ti, Jahve, u oblaku stojiš nad njima; da obdan u stupu od oblaka, a obnoć u stupu od ognja ideš pred njima.
15 If now you slay this whole people, the nations who have heard such reports of you will say,	15 Zato, ako pobiješ ovaj narod kao jednoga čovjeka, narodi koji su čuli glas o tebi reći će:
16 'The LORD was not able to bring this people into the land he swore to give them; that is why he slaughtered them in the desert.'	16 ‘Jahve je bio nemoćan da dovede ovaj narod u zemlju koju mu je pod zakletvom obećao, i zato ih je poubijao u pustinji.’
17 Now then, let the power of my Lord be displayed in its greatness, even as you have said,	17 Zato neka se snaga moga Gospodina uzvisi, kako si najavio rekavši:
18 'The LORD is slow to anger and rich in kindness, forgiving wickedness and crime; yet not declaring the guilty guiltless, but punishing children to the third and fourth generation for their fathers' wickedness.'	18 ‘Jahve je spor na srdžbu, a bogat milosrđem; podnosi opačinu i prijestup, ali krivca ne ostavlja nekažnjena, nego opačinu otaca kažnjava na djeci do trećega i četvrtog koljena.’
19 Pardon, then, the wickedness of this people in keeping with your great kindness, even as you have forgiven them from Egypt until now."	19 Oprosti krivnju ovome narodu po veličini svoga milosrđa, kao što si vodio ovaj narod od Egipta dovde.«
20 The LORD answered: "I pardon them as you have asked.	20 »Opraštam po riječi tvojoj«, reče Jahve.
21 Yet, by my life and the LORD'S glory that fills the whole earth,	21 »Ali ipak, tako ja živ bio i slave se Jahvine napunila sva zemlja,
22 of all the men who have seen my glory and the signs I worked in Egypt and in the desert, and who nevertheless have put me to the test ten times already and have failed to heed my voice,	22 ni jedan od ljudi koji su vidjeli slavu moju i znamenja što sam ih izveo u Egiptu i u pustinji, pa me ipak iskušavali već deset puta ne hoteći poslušati moj glas,
23 not one shall see the land which I promised on oath to their fathers. None of these who have spurned me shall see it.	23 neće vidjeti zemlje što sam je pod zakletvom obećao njihovim ocima; nitko od onih koji me preziru neće je vidjeti.
24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me unreservedly, I will bring him into the land where he has just been, and his descendants shall possess it.	24 A slugu svoga Kaleba, jer je u njemu drukčiji duh i jer mi bijaše poslušan, njega ću ja dovesti u zemlju u koju je išao i njegovi će je potomci zaposjesti! Neka Amalečani i Kanaanci samo ostanu u dolini.
25 But now, since the Amalekites and Canaanites are living in the valleys, turn away tomorrow and set out in the desert on the Red Sea road."	25 Sutra se vratite i krenite u pustinju put Crvenog mora.«
26 The LORD also said to Moses and Aaron:	26 Još reče Jahve Mojsiju i Aronu:
27 "How long will this wicked community grumble against me? I have heard the grumblings of the Israelites against me.	27 »Dokle će ta opaka zajednica mrmljati protiv mene? Čuo sam tužbe što ih Izraelci na me dižu.
28 Tell them: By my life, says the LORD, I will do to you just what I have heard you say.	28 Kaži im: ‘Tako ja živ bio’, objavljuje Jahve, ‘kako ste na moje uši govorili, tako ću vam i učiniti.
29 Here in the desert shall your dead bodies fall. Of all your men of twenty years or more, registered in the census, who grumbled against me,	29 U ovoj pustinji popadat će vaša mrtva tijela: svih vas koji ste ubilježeni u bilo koji vaš popis od dvadeset godina pa naprijed, koji ste rogoborili protiv mene.
30 not one shall enter the land where I solemnly swore to settle you, except Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, son of Nun.	30 Nećete ući u zemlju na koju sam svoju ruku digao da vas u njoj nastanim, osim Kaleba, sina Jefuneova, i Jošue, sina Nunova.
31 Your little ones, however, who you said would be taken as booty, I will bring in, and they shall appreciate the land you spurned.	31 A vašu djecu, o kojoj kažete da bi postala roblje, njih ću uvesti da nastane zemlju što ste je vi prezreli.
32 But as for you, your bodies shall fall here in the desert,	32 A vi? Neka vam tjelesa popadaju u ovoj pustinji!
33 here where your children must wander for forty years, suffering for your faithlessness, till the last of you lies dead in the desert.	33 Vaši sinovi neka lutaju pustinjom četrdeset godina, neka trpe zbog vaše nevjere dok vam ne ispropadaju tjelesa u ovoj pustinji.
34 Forty days you spent in scouting the land; forty years shall you suffer for your crimes: one year for each day. Thus you will realize what it means to oppose me.	34 Prema broju dana u koje ste istraživali zemlju – dana četrdeset, za svaki dan jednu godinu – ispaštajte svoje opačine četrdeset godina. Iskusite što znači mene napustiti.
35 I, the LORD, have sworn to do this to all this wicked community that conspired against me: here in the desert they shall die to the last man."	35 Ja, Jahve, to kažem: tako ću postupiti s ovom opakom zajednicom što se sjatila protiv mene. U ovoj istoj pustinji neka završi! Tu neka izgine.’«
36 And so it happened to the men whom Moses had sent to reconnoiter the land and who on returning had set the whole community grumbling against him by spreading discouraging reports about the land;	36 A oni ljudi koje Mojsije bijaše poslao da istraže zemlju i koji su nakon povratka potakli svu zajednicu da rogobori protiv njega ozloglašujući zemlju;
37 these men who had given out the bad report about the land were struck down by the LORD and died.	37 oni, dakle, ljudi koji su zlobno ozloglasili zemlju bijahu pomoreni pred Jahvom.
38 Of all the men who had gone to reconnoiter the land, only Joshua, son of Nun, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh, survived.	38 Od onih ljudi koji su išli da istraže zemlju ostadoše na životu jedino Jošua, sin Nunov, i Kaleb, sin Jefuneov.
39 When Moses repeated these words to all the Israelites, the people felt great remorse.	39 Kad je Mojsije prenio te riječi svim Izraelcima, narod se uvelike ražalosti.
40 Early the next morning they started up into the foothills, saying, "Here we are, ready to go up to the place that the LORD spoke of: for we were indeed doing wrong."	40 I uranivši ujutro počnu se uspinjati na vrh brda govoreći. »Evo uzlazimo na mjesto o kojem je govorio Jahve jer smo zgriješili.«
41 But Moses said, "Why are you again disobeying the LORD'S orders? This cannot succeed.	41 A Mojsije rekne: »Zašto kršite zapovijed Jahvinu? Nećete uspjeti.
42 Do not go up, because the LORD is not in your midst; if you go, you will be beaten down before your enemies.	42 Ne penjite se, da vas ne potuku vaši neprijatelji, jer Jahve nije među vama.
43 For there the Amalekites and Canaanites face you, and you will fall by the sword. You have turned back from following the LORD; therefore the LORD will not be with you."	43 Ta ondje se pred vama nalaze Amalečani i Kanaanci te ćete od mača pasti jer ste se odvratili od Jahve i jer Jahve neće biti s vama.«
44 Yet they dared to go up into the foothills, even though neither the ark of the covenant of the LORD nor Moses left the camp.	44 Ali se oni prkosno penjahu prema vrhu brda, iako se ni Kovčeg saveza Jahvina ni Mojsije nisu micali iz tabora.
45 And the Amalekites and Canaanites who dwelt in that hill country came down and defeated them, beating them back as far as Hormah.	45 Amalečani i Kanaanci koji su živjeli na onome brdu spuste se, udare po njima i rasprše ih sve do Horme.
