Exodus 33

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Depart, go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land of which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Odpravi se in pojdi od tod gor, ti in ljudstvo, ki si ga privedel gor iz egiptovske dežele, v deželo, ki sem jo prisegel Abrahamu, Izaku in Jakobu, rekoč: ›Tvojemu semenu jo bom dal, ‹

2 and I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:

jaz pa bom pred teboj poslal angela, in jaz bom napodil Kánaanca, Amoréjca in Hetejca in Perizéjca, Hivéjca in Jebusejca

3 unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.

v deželo, kjer tečeta mleko in med, kajti jaz ne bom šel gor v tvoji sredi, kajti trdovratno ljudstvo si, da te na poti ne použijem.«

4 And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.

Ko je ljudstvo slišalo te zle vesti, je žalovalo in noben človek si nase ni nadel ornamentov.

5 And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: if I go up into the midst of thee for one moment, I shall consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.

Kajti Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Reci Izraelovim otrokom: ›Vi ste trdovratno ljudstvo. V trenutku bom prišel v tvojo sredo in te použil, zato sedaj iz sebe odloži svoje ornamente, da lahko vem, kaj ti storiti.‹«

6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from mount Horeb onward.

Izraelovi otroci so se pri gori Horeb ogolili svojih ornamentov.

7 Now Moses used to take the tent and to pitch it without the camp, afar off from the camp; and he called it, The tent of meeting. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tent of meeting, which was without the camp.

Mojzes je vzel šotorsko svetišče in ga postavil zunaj tabora, daleč od tabora ter ga imenoval Šotorsko svetišče skupnosti. In pripetilo se je, da kdorkoli je iskal Gospoda, je odšel k šotorskemu svetišču skupnosti, ki je bil zunaj tabora.

8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the Tent, that all the people rose up, and stood, every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the Tent.

Pripetilo se je, ko je Mojzes šel ven v šotorsko svetišče, da je vse ljudstvo vstalo in vsak mož je stal pri vratih svojega šotora in gledal za Mojzesom, dokler ta ni odšel v šotorsko svetišče.

9 And it came to pass, when Moses entered into the Tent, the pillar of cloud descended, and stood at the door of the Tent: and [the LORD] spake with Moses.

Ko je Mojzes vstopil v šotorsko svetišče, se je pripetilo, [da] se je spustil oblačen steber in stal pri vratih šotorskega svetišča in Gospod je govoril z Mojzesom.

10 And all the people saw the pillar of cloud stand at the door of the Tent: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man at his tent door.

Vse ljudstvo je videlo oblačen steber stati pri vratih šotorskega svetišča, in vse ljudstvo je vstalo in oboževalo, vsak mož pri vratih svojega šotora.

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his minister Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the Tent.

Gospod je govoril Mojzesu iz obličja v obličje, kakor človek govori svojemu prijatelju. In ponovno se je napotil v tabor, toda njegov služabnik, Nunov sin Józue, mladenič, ni odšel iz šotorskega svetišča.

12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.

Mojzes je rekel Gospodu: »Glej, praviš mi: ›Privedi to ljudstvo gor, ‹ pa mi nisi dal spoznati koga hočeš poslati z menoj. Vendar si rekel: ›Poznam te po imenu in tudi milost si našel v mojih očeh.‹

13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy ways, that I may know thee, to the end that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.

Zdaj torej, prosim te, če sem našel milost v tvojih očeh, pokaži mi torej svojo pot, da te lahko spoznam, da lahko najdem milost v tvojih očeh. Preudari, da je ta narod tvoje ljudstvo.«

14 And he said, My presence shall go [with thee], and I will give thee rest.

In on je rekel: »Moja prisotnost bo šla s teboj in jaz ti bom dal počitek.«

15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not [with me], carry us not up hence.

Rekel mu je: »Če tvoja prisotnost ne gre z menoj, nas ne odvedi tja gor.

16 For wherein now shall it be known that I have found grace in thy sight, I and thy people? is it not in that thou goest with us, so that we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth?

Kajti v čem bo to znano tukaj, da smo jaz in tvoje ljudstvo našli milost v tvojih očeh? Mar ni to v tem, da hodiš z nami? Tako bomo ločeni, jaz in tvoje ljudstvo, od vseh ljudstev, ki so na obličju zemlje.«

17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.

Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Storil bom tudi to stvar, ki si jo govoril, kajti našel si milost v mojih očeh in jaz te poznam po imenu.«

18 And he said, Shew me, I pray thee, thy glory.

Ta je rekel: »Rotim te, pokaži mi svojo slavo.«

19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

In on je rekel: »Vsej svoji dobroti bom storil iti pred teboj in razglašal bom Gospodovo ime pred teboj in milostljiv bom, komur hočem biti milostljiv in usmiljenje bom pokazal na tistem, na komer hočem pokazati usmiljenje.«

20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me and live.

Rekel je: »Ne moreš videti mojega obličja, kajti noben človek me ne bo videl in živel.«

21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon the rock:

Gospod je rekel: »Glej, tukaj je prostor pri meni in ti boš stopil na skalo.

22 and it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand until I have passed by:

Zgodilo se bo, medtem ko gre moja slava mimo, da te bom postavil v skalno pečino in s svojo roko te bom pokril, medtem ko grem mimo.

23 and I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back: but my face shall not be seen.

In odstranil bom svojo roko in videl boš moje zadnje dele, toda mojega obličja ne bo videti.«
