Eksodo 24
1 Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Bwera ku phiri kuno kwa Yehova, iwe pamodzi ndi Aaroni, Nadabu, Abihu ndi akuluakulu a Israeli makumi asanu ndi awiri. Enanu mundipembedze muli chapatali.
And unto Moses He said, 'Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and ye have bowed yourselves afar off;'
2 Koma Mose yekha ayandikire Yehova, ndipo enawo asayandikire. Komanso anthu ena onse asakwere nawe ku phiri kuno.”
and Moses hath drawn nigh by himself unto Jehovah; and they draw not nigh, and the people go not up with him.
3 Tsono Mose anapita kukawuza anthu mawu onse a Yehova ndi malamulo onse, ndipo anthu onse anayankha mogwirizana kuti, “Tidzachita zonse zimene Yehova wanena.”
And Moses cometh in, and recounteth to the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments, and all the people answer — one voice, and say, 'All the words which Jehovah hath spoken we do.'
4 Ndipo Mose analemba zonse zimene Yehova ananena. Mmawa mwake Mose anadzuka nayamba kumanga guwa lansembe mʼmunsi mwa phirilo ndipo anayimika miyala khumi ndi iwiri ngati zipilala kuyimira mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli.
And Moses writeth all the words of Jehovah, and riseth early in the morning, and buildeth an altar under the hill, and twelve standing pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel;
5 Kenaka Mose anatuma Aisraeli achinyamata kuti aphe ndi kukapereka kwa Yehova nsembe zopsereza zachiyanjano.
and he sendeth the youths of the sons of Israel, and they cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah — calves.
6 Mose anatenga theka la magazi ndi kuyika mʼmbale, ndipo theka linalo analiwaza pa guwa lansembe.
And Moses taketh half of the blood, and putteth in basins, and half of the blood hath he sprinkled on the altar;
7 Anatenganso Buku la Chipangano ndi kuwerengera anthu. Anthuwo anayankha kuti, “Zonse zimene Yehova wanena tamva, ndipo tidzazichita.”
and he taketh the Book of the Covenant, and proclaimeth in the ears of the people, and they say, 'All that which Jehovah hath spoken we do, and obey.'
8 Kenaka Mose anatenga magazi, nawaza anthuwo ndipo anati, “Awa ndi magazi a pangano limene Yehova wapanga ndi inu molingana ndi mawu ake onsewa.”
And Moses taketh the blood, and sprinkleth on the people, and saith, 'Lo, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you, concerning all these things.'
9 Kenaka Mose pamodzi ndi Aaroni, Nadabu, Abihu ndi akuluakulu makumi asanu ndi awiri a Israeli aja anakwera ku phiri,
And Moses goeth up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
10 ndipo anaona Mulungu wa Israeli. Pansi pa mapazi ake panali njira yoyendamo yopangidwa ndi mwala wa safiro woyalidwa bwino wa maonekedwe owala ngati thambo.
and they see the God of Israel, and under His feet [is] as the white work of the sapphire, and as the substance of the heavens for purity;
11 Ngakhale anaona Yehova koma sanafe, mʼmalo mwake anadya ndi kumwa.
and unto those of the sons of Israel who are near He hath not put forth His hand, and they see God, and eat and drink.
12 Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Bwera kwa ine ku phiri kuno, ndipo udikire konkuno. Ndidzakupatsa miyala imene ndalembapo malemba kuti ndiwaphunzitse.”
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Come up unto Me to the mount, and be there, and I give to thee the tables of stone, and the law, and the command, which I have written to direct them.'
13 Ndipo anayamba ulendo wopita ku phiri la Mulungu pamodzi ndi womuthandiza wake Yoswa.
And Moses riseth — Joshua his minister also — and Moses goeth up unto the mount of God;
14 Apa nʼkuti Mose atawawuza akuluakulu aja kuti, “Mudikire pano mpaka titabweranso. Aaroni ndi Huri ali nanu, aliyense amene ali ndi milandu apite kwa iwo.”
and unto the elders he hath said, 'Abide ye for us in this [place], until that we turn back unto you, and lo, Aaron and Hur [are] with you — he who hath matters doth come nigh unto them.'
15 Mose atakwera ku phiri kuja mtambo unaphimba phirilo.
And Moses goeth up unto the mount, and the cloud covereth the mount;
16 Ulemerero wa Yehova unakhala pa phiri la Sinai, ndipo mtambo unaphimba phirilo kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi. Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri Yehova anayitana Mose kuchokera mu mtambowo.
and the honour of Jehovah doth tabernacle on mount Sinai, and the cloud covereth it six days, and He calleth unto Moses on the seventh day from the midst of the cloud.
17 Ulemerero wa Yehova uja unkaoneka ngati malawi a moto pamwamba pa phirilo.
And the appearance of the honour of Jehovah [is] as a consuming fire on the top of the mount, before the eyes of the sons of Israel;
18 Ndipo Mose analowa mʼmitambo nakwera phiri. Iye anakhala ku phiriko 40 usana ndi usiku.
and Moses goeth into the midst of the cloud, and goeth up unto the mount, and Moses is on the mount forty days and forty nights.
