Knjiga Izlaska 33

Biblija Hrvatski	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Jahve reče Mojsiju: »Idi! Putuj odavde, ti i narod koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, u zemlju za koju sam se zakleo Abrahamu, Izaku i Jakovu da ću je dati njihovim potomcima.	1 The LORD told Moses, "You and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, are to go up from here to the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob I would give to their descendants.
2 Pred tobom ću poslati anđela; istjerat ću Kanaance, Amorejce, Hetite, Perižane, Hivijce i Jebusejce.	2 Driving out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, I will send an angel before you
3 Idite u zemlju kojom teče mlijeko i med. Ja s vama neću poći – jer ste narod tvrde šije – da vas putem ne istrijebim.«	3 to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I myself will not go up in your company, because you are a stiff-necked people; otherwise I might exterminate you on the way."
4 Kad narod ču ove oštre riječi, poče tugovati. I nitko više ne stavi na se svoga nakita.	4 When the people heard this bad news, they went into mourning, and no one wore his ornaments.
5 Jer reče Jahve Mojsiju: »Kaži Izraelcima: ‘Vi ste narod tvrde šije. Kad bih ja s vama išao samo čas, uništio bih vas. Stoga skinite svoj nakit, a ja ću vidjeti što ću s vama učiniti.’«	5 The LORD said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites: You are a stiff-necked people. Were I to go up in your company even for a moment, I would exterminate you. Take off your ornaments, therefore; I will then see what I am to do with you."
6 Tako su od brda Horeba Izraelci bili bez nakita.	6 So, from Mount Horeb onward, the Israelites laid aside their ornaments.
7 Mojsije uze šator i razape ga izvan tabora, daleko od tabora. I nazva ga Šator sastanka. Tko bi se god htio obratiti Jahvi, pošao bi k Šatoru sastanka, koji se nalazio izvan tabora.	7 The tent, which was called the meeting tent, Moses used to pitch at some distance away, outside the camp. Anyone who wished to consult the LORD would go to this meeting tent outside the camp.
8 Kad bi god Mojsije pošao u Šator, sav bi se narod digao; svatko bi stajao kod ulaza u svoj šator i gledao za Mojsijem dok ne bi ušao u Šator.	8 Whenever Moses went out to the tent, the people would all rise and stand at the entrance of their own tents, watching Moses until he entered the tent.
9 A kad bi Mojsije ušao u Šator, stup bi se oblaka spustio i ostajao na ulazu u Šator dok je Jahve s Mojsijem razgovarao.	9 As Moses entered the tent, the column of cloud would come down and stand at its entrance while the LORD spoke with Moses.
10 Videći kako stup oblaka stoji na ulazu Šatora, sav bi se narod tada dizao i svatko bi se duboko klanjao na vratima svoga šatora.	10 On seeing the column of cloud stand at the entrance of the tent, all the people would rise and worship at the entrance of their own tents.
11 Tako bi Jahve razgovarao s Mojsijem licem u lice, kao što čovjek govori s prijateljem. Mojsije bi se poslije vratio u tabor, ali se njegov pomoćnik Jošua, sin Nunov, mlađarac, iz Šatora ne bi micao.	11 The LORD used to speak to Moses face to face, as one man speaks to another. Moses would then return to the camp, but his young assistant, Joshua, son of Nun, would not move out of the tent.
12 Mojsije oslovi Jahvu: »Vidi, ti si meni rekao: ‘Povedi ovaj narod’, ali mi nisi objavio koga ćeš sa mnom poslati. Još si mi rekao: ‘Znam te po imenu, i ti uživaš moju blagonaklonost.’	12 Moses said to the LORD, "You, indeed, are telling me to lead this people on; but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, 'You are my intimate friend,' and also, 'You have found favor with me.'
13 Stoga, ako uživam tvoju blagonaklonost, objavi mi svoje putove da te shvatim i da dalje uživam tvoju blagonaklonost. Promisli također da je ova svjetina tvoj narod.«	13 Now, if I have found favor with you, do let me know your ways so that, in knowing you, I may continue to find favor with you. Then, too, this nation is, after all, your own people."
14 »Ja ću osobno s tobom poći«, odgovori Jahve, »i počinak ti priuštiti.«	14 "I myself," the LORD answered, "will go along, to give you rest."
15 »Ako ti ne pođeš«, nadoda Mojsije, »odavde nas i ne izvodi.	15 Moses replied, "If you are not going yourself, do not make us go up from here.
16 Ta kako će se znati da uživamo tvoju naklonost, ja i tvoj narod? Po tome što ideš s nama. Time ćemo se samo razlikovati ja i tvoj narod među svim narodima koji su na licu zemlje.«	16 For how can it be known that we, your people and I, have found favor with you, except by your going with us? Then we, your people and I, will be singled out from every other people on the earth."
17 »I ovo što si zatražio, učinit ću«, odgovori Jahve Mojsiju. »Ta ti uživaš moju blagonaklonost jer te po imenu poznajem.«	17 The LORD said to Moses, "This request, too, which you have just made, I will carry out, because you have found favor with me and you are my intimate friend."
18 »Pokaži mi svoju slavu«, zamoli Mojsije.	18 Then Moses said, "Do let me see your glory!"
19 »Dopustit ću da ispred tebe prođe sav moj sjaj«, odgovori, »i pred tobom ću izustiti svoje ime Jahve. Bit ću milostiv kome hoću da milostiv budem; smilovat ću se komu hoću da se smilujem.	19 He answered, "I will make all my beauty pass before you, and in your presence I will pronounce my name, 'LORD'; I who show favors to whom I will, I who grant mercy to whom I will.
20 A ti«, doda, »moga lica ne možeš vidjeti, jer ne može čovjek mene vidjeti i na životu ostati.	20 But my face you cannot see, for no man sees me and still lives.
21 Evo mjesta ovdje uza me«, nastavi Jahve. »Stani na pećinu!	21 Here," continued the LORD, "is a place near me where you shall station yourself on the rock.
22 Dok moja slava bude prolazila, stavit ću te u pukotinu pećine i svojom te rukom zakloniti dok ne prođem.	22 When my glory passes I will set you in the hollow of the rock and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
23 Onda ću ja svoju ruku maknuti, pa ćeš me s leđa vidjeti. Ali se lice moje ne može vidjeti.«	23 Then I will remove my hand, so that you may see my back; but my face is not to be seen."
