| 1 Potom reče Mojsiju: »Uzađi k Jahvi – ti, Aron, Nadab i Abihu i sedamdeset izraelskih starješina. Poklonite se izdaljega! | 1 And he said to Moses: Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel, and you shall adore afar off. |
| 2 Neka se sam Mojsije primakne k Jahvi! Oni neka se ne primiču, a puk neka se s njim ne penje.« | 2 And Moses alone shall come up to the Lord, but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people come up with him. |
| 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.« | 3 So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: We will do all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken. |
| 4 Tada Mojsije popiše sve riječi Jahvine. A ujutro podrani te podigne žrtvenik na podnožju brda i dvanaest stupova za dvanaest plemena Izraelovih. | 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord: and rising in the morning he built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel. |
| 5 Zatim naloži mladim Izraelcima da prinesu žrtve paljenice i da žrtvuju Jahvi junce kao žrtve pričesnice. | 5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and sacrificed pacific victims of calves to the Lord. |
| 6 Mojsije uhvati krv; polovinu krvi ulije u posude, a polovinu izlije po žrtveniku. | 6 Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls: and the rest he poured upon the altar. |
| 7 Prihvati zatim Knjigu Saveza pa je narodu glasno pročita, a narod uzvrati: »Sve što je Jahve rekao, izvršit ćemo i poslušat ćemo.« | 7 And taking the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people: and they said: All things that the Lord hath spoken we will do, we will be obedient. |
| 8 Mojsije potom uzme krvi te poškropi narod govoreći: »Ovo je krv saveza koji je Jahve s vama uspostavio na temelju svih ovih riječi.« | 8 And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he said: This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words. |
| 9 Onda se uspne Mojsije s Aronom, Nadabom i Abihuom i sa sedamdeset starješina Izraelovih. | 9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel went up: |
| 10 Oni vidješe Boga Izraelova: podnožje njegovim nogama kao da je bilo od dragoga kamena safira, sjajem nalik na samo nebo. | 10 And they saw the God of Israel: and under his feet as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as the heaven, when clear. |
| 11 Ni ruke svoje nije pružio na izabranike Izraelaca: slobodno su Boga motrili i jeli i pili. | 11 Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the children of Israel, that retired afar off, and they saw God, and they did eat and drink. |
| 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.« | 12 And the Lord said to Moses: Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandments which I have written: that thou mayst teach them. |
| 13 Ustane Mojsije i njegov pomoćnik Jošua te se Mojsije popne na brdo Božje. | 13 Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into the mount of God, |
| 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.« | 14 Said to the ancients: Wait ye here till we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you: if any question shall arise, you shall refer it to them. |
| 15 Zatim Mojsije uzađe na brdo, a onda oblak prekri brdo. | 15 And when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount. |
| 16 Slava se Jahvina nastani na Sinajskom brdu i oblak ga obavijaše šest dana. Sedmoga dana zovne Jahve Mojsija iz oblaka. | 16 And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud six days: and the seventh day he called him out of the midst of the cloud. |
| 17 Slava Jahvina na vrhuncu brda bijaše očima Izraelaca kao vatra koja sažiže. Mojsije zađe u oblak i uspne se na brdo. | 17 And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire upon the top of the mount, in the eyes of the children of Israel. |
| 18 Četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći boravio je Mojsije na brdu. | 18 And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights. |
