Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Potom reče Mojsiju: »Uzađi k Jahvi – ti, Aron, Nadab i Abihu i sedamdeset izraelskih starješina. Poklonite se izdaljega!	1 Moses himself was told, "Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, with Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel. You shall all worship at some distance,
2 Neka se sam Mojsije primakne k Jahvi! Oni neka se ne primiču, a puk neka se s njim ne penje.«	2 but Moses alone is to come close to the LORD; the others shall not come too near, and the people shall not come up at all with Moses."
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 When Moses came to the people and related all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all answered with one voice, "We will do everything that the LORD has told us."
4 Tada Mojsije popiše sve riječi Jahvine. A ujutro podrani te podigne žrtvenik na podnožju brda i dvanaest stupova za dvanaest plemena Izraelovih.	4 Moses then wrote down all the words of the LORD and, rising early the next day, he erected at the foot of the mountain an altar and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Zatim naloži mladim Izraelcima da prinesu žrtve paljenice i da žrtvuju Jahvi junce kao žrtve pričesnice.	5 Then, having sent certain young men of the Israelites to offer holocausts and sacrifice young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD,
6 Mojsije uhvati krv; polovinu krvi ulije u posude, a polovinu izlije po žrtveniku.	6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in large bowls; the other half he splashed on 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 Taking the book of the covenant, he read it aloud to the people, who answered, "All that the LORD has said, we will heed and do."
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 Then he took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words of his."
9 Onda se uspne Mojsije s Aronom, Nadabom i Abihuom i sa sedamdeset starješina Izraelovih.	9 Moses then went up with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy elders of Israel,
10 Oni vidješe Boga Izraelova: podnožje njegovim nogama kao da je bilo od dragoga kamena safira, sjajem nalik na samo nebo.	10 and they beheld the God of Israel. Under his feet there appeared to be sapphire tilework, as clear as the sky itself.
11 Ni ruke svoje nije pružio na izabranike Izraelaca: slobodno su Boga motrili i jeli i pili.	11 Yet he did not smite these chosen Israelites. After gazing on God, they could still 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 The LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain and, while you are there, I will give you the stone tablets on which I have written the commandments intended for their instruction."
13 Ustane Mojsije i njegov pomoćnik Jošua te se Mojsije popne na brdo Božje.	13 So Moses set out with Joshua, his aide, and went up to the mountain 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 The elders, however, had been told by him, "Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are staying with you. If anyone has a complaint, let him refer the matter to them."
15 Zatim Mojsije uzađe na brdo, a onda oblak prekri brdo.	15 After Moses had gone up, a cloud covered the mountain.
16 Slava se Jahvina nastani na Sinajskom brdu i oblak ga obavijaše šest dana. Sedmoga dana zovne Jahve Mojsija iz oblaka.	16 The glory of the LORD settled upon Mount Sinai. The cloud covered it for six days, and on the seventh day he called to Moses from 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 To the Israelites the glory of the LORD was seen as a consuming fire on the mountaintop.
18 Četrdeset dana i četrdeset noći boravio je Mojsije na brdu.	18 But Moses passed into the midst of the cloud as he went up on the mountain; and there he stayed for forty days and forty nights.
