Izlazak 19

Studie

   

1 Tri mjeseca nakon izlaska iz zemlje egipatske, istoga dana, stignu Izraelci u Sinajsku pustinju.

2 Idući od Refidima, dođu u Sinajsku pustinju i utabore se u pustinji. Postave Izraelci tabor tu pred brdom,

3 a Mojsije se popne k Bogu. Jahve ga zovne s brda pa mu rekne: "Ovako kaži domu Jakovljevu, proglasi djeci Izraelovoj:

4 'Vi ste vidjeli što sam učinio Egipćanima; kako sam vas nosio na orlovskim krilima i k sebi vas doveo.

5 Stoga, budete li mi se vjerno pokoravali i držali moj Savez, vi ćete mi biti predraga svojina mimo sve narode - tÓa moj je sav svijet! -

6 vi ćete mi biti kraljevstvo svećenika, narod svet.' Tim riječima oslovi Izraelce."

7 Mojsije se vrati i sazva narodne starješine te im izloži sve što mu je Jahve naredio.

8 A sav narod uzvrati jednoglasno: "Vršit ćemo sve što je Jahve naredio." Onda Mojsije prenese odgovor naroda Jahvi.

9 Nato Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Ja ću, evo, doći k tebi u gustom oblaku da narod čuje kad budem s tobom govorio i da ti zauvijek vjeruje." Tako je Mojsije prenio Jahvi odgovor naroda.

10 "Pođi k narodu", reče Jahve Mojsiju, "i posvećuj ga danas i sutra. Neka opere svoju odjeću;

11 neka bude gotov prekosutra, jer će prekosutra sići Jahve na brdo Sinaj naočigled svega puka.

12 Postavi naokolo granicu za narod i izdaj naredbu: 'Pripazite da se na brdo ne penjete; da se ni podnožja ne dotičete! Tko se god brda dotakne, smrt će ga snaći.

13 Nikakva ruka neka ga se ne dotakne, nego neka bude kamenjem zasut ili strijelom ustrijeljen: bio čovjek ili živinče, neka na životu ne ostane.' Na otegnuti zvuk trube neka se na brdo penju."

14 Mojsije siđe s brda k narodu i poče posvećivati narod. Oni operu svoju odjeću.

15 "Budite gotovi za prekosutra!" - rekne Mojsije narodu. "Ne primičite se ženi!"

16 A prekosutra, u osvit dana, prolomi se grmljavina, munje zasijevaše, a gust se oblak nadvi nad brdo. Gromko zaječa truba, zadrhta sav puk koji bijaše u taboru.

17 Mojsije povede puk iz tabora u susret Bogu. Stadoše na podnožju brda.

18 Brdo Sinaj zavilo se u dim jer je Jahve u obliku ognja sišao na nj. Dizao se dim kao dim iz peći. Sve se Brdo silno treslo.

19 Zvuk trube bivao sve jači. Mojsije je govorio, a Bog mu grmljavinom odgovarao.

20 Jahve siđe na Sinajsko brdo, na vrhunac, i pozva Jahve Mojsija na vrhunac brda. Mojsije se uspe.

21 Sad Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Siđi i opomeni narod da ne bi provalio prema Jahvi da ga vidi. Mnogo bi ih poginulo.

22 I sami svećenici, koji dolaze blizu Jahvi, moraju se očistiti, da ih Jahve ne uništi."

23 "Narod se ne može popeti na brdo Sinaj", odgovori Mojsije Jahvi, "jer si nas sam ti opomenuo: 'Postavi granice naokolo brda i proglasi ga svetim.'"

24 "Siđi pa se opet popni zajedno s Aronom", odgovori mu Jahve. "Ali neka svećenici i narod ne navaljuju da se popnu prema Jahvi da ne izginu."

25 Mojsije siđe k narodu i sve mu kaza.

8748. Exodus 19

1. In the third month from the going of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on this day they came to the wilderness of Sinai.

2. And they travelled from Rephidim, and came to the wilderness of Sinai, and encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped beside the mountain.

3. And Moses went up to God, and Jehovah called to him from the mountain, saying, Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel,

4. You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and [how] I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself.

5. And now, if you will indeed hear My voice and keep My covenant, you will be to Me a peculiar treasure 1 more than all peoples; for all the earth is Mine.

6. And you will be for Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.

7. And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Jehovah commanded him.

8. And all the people answered together and said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do. And Moses brought back the people's words to Jehovah.

9. And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of a cloud, in order that the people may hear when I speak to you, and also will believe in you forever. And Moses told the people's words to Jehovah.

10. And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow; and let them wash their garments.

11. And they will be ready by the third day; for on the third day Jehovah will come down before the eyes of all the people onto Mount Sinai.

12. And you are to set bounds for the people round about, saying, Take care not to go up into the mountain or to touch the border of it; everyone touching the mountain will surely die.

13. Let no hand touch it, for he will surely be stoned or will be killed by being shot with arrows; whether it is a beast or a man, it shall not live. When there is a long sounding with the jobel 2 they shall go up into the mountain.

14. And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments.

15. And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day; do not go near a woman.

16. And so it was on the third day, when it came to be morning, that there were voices 3 and lightnings, and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the voice of a trumpet extremely loud; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.

17. And Moses caused the people to go out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the foot 4 of the mountain.

18. And Mount Sinai was smoking, the whole of it, because Jehovah came down onto it in fire; and its smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain began to tremble greatly.

19. And the voice of the trumpet grew louder and louder 5 ; Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

20. And Jehovah came down onto Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

21. And Jehovah said to Moses, Go down, warn the people so that they do not perhaps break through to Jehovah to see [Him], and many of them fall.

22. And also the priests coming near Jehovah must sanctify themselves, so that Jehovah does not perhaps make a breach in them.

23. And Moses said to Jehovah, The people cannot go up to Mount Sinai; for You have warned us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain and sanctify it.

24. And Jehovah said to him, Go! go down; and you are to come up, you and Aaron with you. And do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to Jehovah, so that He does not perhaps make a breach in them.

25. And Moses went down to the people and told them.
