Exodus 32

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 When the people became aware of Moses' delay in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said to him, "Come, make us a god who will be our leader; as for the man Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him."	1 A narod, videći gdje Mojsije dugo ne silazi s brda, okupi se oko Arona pa mu rekne: »Ustaj! Napravi nam boga, pa neka on pred nama ide! Ne znamo što se dogodi s tim čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izvede iz zemlje egipatske.«
2 Aaron replied, "Have your wives and sons and daughters take off the golden earrings they are wearing, and bring them to me."	2 »Poskidajte zlatne naušnice što vise o ušima vaših žena, vaših sinova i vaših kćeri«, odgovori im Aron, »pa ih meni donesite.«
3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron,	3 Sav svijet skine zlatne naušnice što ih je o ušima imao i donese Aronu.
4 who accepted their offering, and fashioning this gold with a graving tool, made a molten calf. Then they cried out, "This is your God, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt."	4 Primivši zlato iz njihovih ruku, rastopi kovinu u kalupu i načini saliveno tele. A oni poviču: »Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske.«
5 On seeing this, Aaron built an altar before the calf and proclaimed, "Tomorrow is a feast of the LORD."	5 Vidjevši to Aron, sagradi pred njim žrtvenik a onda najavi: »Sutra neka se priredi svečanost u čast Jahvi!«
6 Early the next day the people offered holocausts and brought peace offerings. Then they sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to revel.	6 Sutradan rano ustanu i prinesu žrtve paljenice i donesu žrtve pričesnice. Onda svijet posjeda da jede i pije. Poslije toga ustade da se zabavlja.
7 With that, the LORD said to Moses, "Go down at once to your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, for they have become depraved.	7 »Požuri se dolje!« – progovori Jahve Mojsiju. »Narod tvoj, koji si izveo iz zemlje egipatske, pošao je naopako.
8 They have soon turned aside from the way I pointed out to them, making for themselves a molten calf and worshiping it, sacrificing to it and crying out, 'This is your God, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!'	8 Brzo su zašli s puta koji sam im odredio. Napravili su sebi tele od rastopljene kovine, preda nj pali ničice i žrtve mu prinijeli uz poklike: ‘Ovo je tvoj bog, Izraele, koji te izveo iz zemlje egipatske!’
9 I see how stiff-necked this people is," continued the LORD to Moses.	9 Dobro vidim«, reče dalje Jahve Mojsiju, »da je ovaj narod tvrde šije.
10 "Let me alone, then, that my wrath may blaze up against them to consume them. Then I will make of you a great nation."	10 Pusti sada neka se moj gnjev na njih raspali da ih istrijebim. Onda ću od tebe razviti velik narod.«
11 But Moses implored the LORD, his God, saying, "Why, O LORD, should your wrath blaze up against your own people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with such great power and with so strong a hand?	11 Mojsije pak zapomagao pred Jahvom, Bogom svojim, i govorio: »O Jahve! Čemu da gnjevom plamtiš na svoj narod koji si izbavio iz zemlje egipatske silom velikom i rukom jakom!
12 Why should the Egyptians say, 'With evil intent he brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains and exterminate them from the face of the earth'? Let your blazing wrath die down; relent in punishing your people.	12 Zašto bi Egipćani morali reći: ‘U zloj ih je namjeri i odveo, tako da ih smakne u brdinama i izbriše s lica zemlje!’ Smiri svoj gnjev i ljutinu; odustani od zla svome narodu!
13 Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, and how you swore to them by your own self, saying, 'I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky; and all this land that I promised, I will give your descendants as their perpetual heritage.'"	13 Sjeti se Abrahama, Izaka i Izraela, slugu svojih, kojima si se samim sobom zakleo i obećao im: ‘Razmnožit ću vaše potomstvo kao zvijezde na nebu i svu zemlju ovu što sam obećao dat ću vašem potomstvu i ona će zavazda biti njihova baština.’«
14 So the LORD relented in the punishment he had threatened to inflict on his people.	14 I Jahve odustane da na svoj narod svali nesreću kojom mu bijaše zaprijetio.
15 Moses then turned and came down the mountain with the two tablets of the commandments in his hands, tablets that were written on both sides, front and back;	15 Mojsije se okrene i siđe s brda. U rukama su mu bile dvije ploče svjedočanstva, ploče ispisane na objema plohama; ispisane i s jedne i s druge strane.
16 tablets that were made by God, having inscriptions on them that were engraved by God himself.	16 Ploče su bile djelo Božje; pismo je bilo pismo Božje u pločama urezano.
17 Now, when Joshua heard the noise of the people shouting, he said to Moses, "That sounds like a battle in the camp."	17 A Jošua ču viku naroda koji je bučio pa reče Mojsiju: »Bojna vika u taboru!«
18 But Moses answered, "It does not sound like cries of victory, nor does it sound like cries of defeat; the sounds that I hear are cries of revelry."	18 Mojsije mu odgovori: »Niti viču pobjednici, niti tuže pobijeđeni: tu ja samo pjesmu čujem.«
19 As he drew near the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. With that, Moses' wrath flared up, so that he threw the tablets down and broke them on the base of the mountain.	19 Čim se približi taboru te opazi tele i kako igraju, razgnjevi se Mojsije. Baci iz ruku ploče i razbije ih na podnožju brda.
20 Taking the calf they had made, he fused it in the fire and then ground it down to powder, which he scattered on the water and made the Israelites drink.	20 Pograbi tele koje bijahu napravili, spali ga ognjem i u prah satre. Onda prah razbaca po vodi i natjera Izraelce da je piju.
21 Moses asked Aaron, "What did this people ever do to you that you should lead them into so grave a sin?" Aaron replied, "Let not my lord be angry.	21 »Što ti je ovaj puk učinio«, reče Mojsije Aronu, »da si tako velik grijeh na nj svalio?«
22 You know well enough how prone the people are to evil.	22 »Neka se moj gospodar srdžbom ne raspaljuje«, odgovori Aron. »Sam dobro znaš kako je ovaj narod na zlo sklon.
23 They said to me, 'Make us a god to be our leader; as for the man Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has happened to him.'	23 Rekoše mi: ‘Napravi nam boga pa neka pred nama ide! Ne znamo što se dogodi s tim čovjekom Mojsijem koji nas izbavi iz zemlje egipatske.’
24 So I told them, 'Let anyone who has gold jewelry take it off.' They gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and this calf came out."	24 Na to im ja rekoh: ‘Tko ima zlata, neka ga skine!’ Tako mi ga dadoše, a ja ga bacih u vatru te izađe ovo tele.«
25 When Moses realized that, to the scornful joy of their foes, Aaron had let the people run wild,	25 Kad je Mojsije vidio kako je narod postao razuzdan – ta Aron ih je pustio da padnu u idolopoklonstvo među svojim neprijateljima –
26 he stood at the gate of the camp and cried, "Whoever is for the LORD, let him come to me!" All the Levites then rallied to him,	26 stade na taborskim vratima i povika: »Tko je za Jahvu, k meni!« Svi se sinovi Levijevi okupe oko njega.
27 and he told them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Put your sword on your hip, every one of you! Now go up and down the camp, from gate to gate, and slay your own kinsmen, your friends and neighbors!"	27 On im reče: »Ovako govori Jahve, Bog Izraela: ‘Neka svatko pripaše mač o bedro i pođe taborom od vrata do vrata pa neka ubije tko svoga brata, tko svoga prijatelja, tko svoga susjeda.’«
28 The Levites carried out the command of Moses, and that day there fell about three thousand of the people.	28 Sinovi Levijevi izvršiše Mojsijev nalog, i toga dana pade naroda oko tri tisuće ljudi.
29 Then Moses said, "Today you have been dedicated to the LORD, for you were against your own sons and kinsmen, to bring a blessing upon yourselves this day."	29 »Danas ste se posvetili Jahvi za službu«, reče Mojsije, »tko uz cijenu svoga sina, tko uz cijenu svoga brata, tako da vam danas daje blagoslov.«
30 On the next day Moses said to the people, "You have committed a grave sin. I will go up to the LORD, then; perhaps I may be able to make atonement for your sin."	30 Sutradan reče Mojsije narodu: »Težak ste grijeh počinili. Ipak ću se Jahvi popeti. Možda za vaš grijeh oproštenje pribavim.«
31 So Moses went back to the LORD and said, "Ah, this people has indeed committed a grave sin in making a god of gold for themselves!	31 Mojsije se vrati Jahvi pa reče: »Jao! Narod onaj težak je grijeh počinio napravivši sebi boga od zlata.
32 If you would only forgive their sin! If you will not, then strike me out of the book that you have written."	32 Ipak im taj grijeh oprosti... Ako nećeš, onda i mene izbriši iz svoje knjige koju si napisao.«
33 The LORD answered, "Him only who has sinned against me will I strike out of my book.	33 Nato Jahve odgovori Mojsiju: »Onoga koji je protiv mene sagriješio izbrisat ću iz svoje knjige.
34 Now, go and lead the people whither I have told you. My angel will go before you. When it is time for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin."	34 Nego, idi sad! Povedi narod kamo sam ti rekao. Anđeo će moj pred tobom ići. Ali u dan kad ih pohodim, zbog njihova ću ih grijeha kazniti.«
35 Thus the LORD smote the people for having had Aaron make the calf for them.	35 Udari Jahve po narodu pomorom zbog teleta što im ga Aron načini.
