2 Mosebog 24

1 Og han sagde til Moses: »Stig op til HERREN, du og Aron, Nadab og Abihu og halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste, og tilbed i Frastand;

And He said to Moses, “Come up to YHWH, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy from [the] elderly of Israel, and you have bowed yourselves far off”;

2 Moses alene skal træde hen til HERREN, de andre ikke, og det øvrige Folk maa ikke følge med ham derop.«

and Moses has drawn near to YHWH by himself; and they do not draw near, and the people do not go up with him.

3 Derpaa kom Moses og kundgjorde hele Folket alle HERRENS Ord og alle Lovbudene, og hele Folket svarede enstemmigt: »Alle de Ord, HERREN har talet, vil vi overholde.«

And Moses comes in, and recounts to the people all the words of YHWH, and all the judgments, and all the people answer [with] one voice, and say, “All the words which YHWH has spoken we do.”

4 Da skrev Moses alle HERRENS Ord op; og tidligt næste Morgen rejste han ved Foden af Bjerget et Alter og tolv Stenstøtter svarende til Israels tolv Stammer.

And Moses writes all the words of YHWH, and rises early in the morning, and builds an altar under the hill, and twelve standing pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel;

5 Derefter sendte han de unge Mænd blandt Israeliterne hen for at bringe Brændofre og slagte unge Tyre som Takofre til HERREN.

and he sends the youths of the sons of Israel, and they cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings to YHWH—calves.

6 Og Moses tog den ene Halvdel af Blodet og gød det i Offerskaalene, men den anden Halvdel sprængte han paa Alteret.

And Moses takes half of the blood and puts [it] in basins, and he has sprinkled half of the blood on the altar;

7 Saa tog han Pagtsbogen og læste den op i Folkets Paahør, og de sagde: »Vi vil gøre alt, hvad HERREN har talet, og lyde ham!«

and he takes the Scroll of the Covenant, and proclaims [it] in the ears of the people, and they say, “All that which YHWH has spoken we do, and we obey.”

8 Derpaa tog Moses Blodet og sprængte det paa Folket, idet han sagde: »Se, dette er Pagtens Blod, den Pagt, HERREN har sluttet med eder paa Grundlag af alle disse Ord.«

And Moses takes the blood and sprinkles [it] on the people, and says, “Behold, the blood of the covenant which YHWH has made with you, concerning all these things.”

9 Og Moses, Aron, Nadab og Abihu og halvfjerdsindstyve af Israels Ældste steg op

And Moses goes up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from [the] elderly of Israel,

10 og skuede Israels Gud; under hans Fødder var der ligesom Safirfliser, som selve Himmelen i Straaleglans.

and they see the God of Israel, and under His feet [is] as the work of a pavement of sapphire, and as the substance of the heavens for purity;

11 Men han lagde ikke Haand paa Israeliternes ypperste Mænd. De skuede Gud, og de spiste og drak.

and He has not put forth His hand to those of the sons of Israel who are near, and they see God, and eat and drink.

12 Og HERREN sagde til Moses: »Stig op til mig paa Bjerget og bliv der, saa vil jeg give dig Stentavlerne, Loven og Budet, som jeg har opskrevet til Vejledning for dem.«

And YHWH says to Moses, “Come up to Me [on] the mountain and be there, and I give to you the tablets of stone, and the Law, and the command, which I have written to direct them.”

13 Da bød Moses og Josua, hans Medhjælper op, og Moses steg op paa Guds Bjerg;

And Moses rises—his minister Joshua also—and Moses goes up to the mountain of God;

14 men til de Ældste sagde han: »Vent paa os her, til vi kommer tilbage til eder. Se, Aron og Hur er hos eder; er der nogen, der har en Retstrætte, kan han henvende sig til dem!«

and he has said to the elderly, “Abide for us in this [place] until we return to you, and behold, Aaron and Hur [are] with you—he who has matters comes near to them.”

15 Derpaa steg Moses op paa Bjerget. Da indhyllede Skyen Bjerget,

And Moses goes up to the mountain, and the cloud covers the mountain;

16 og HERRENS Herlighed nedlod sig paa Sinaj Bjerg. Og Skyen indhyllede Sinaj Bjerg i seks Dage, men den syvende Dag raabte HERREN ud fra Skyen til Moses;

and the glory of YHWH dwells on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covers it [for] six days, and He calls to Moses on the seventh day from the midst of the cloud.

17 og medens HERRENS Herlighed viste sig for Israeliternes Øjne som en fortærende Ild paa Bjergets Top,

And the appearance of the glory of YHWH [is] as a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the sons of Israel;

18 gik Moses ind i Skyen og steg op paa Bjerget. Og Moses blev paa Bjerget i fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter.

and Moses goes into the midst of the cloud, and goes up to the mountain, and Moses is on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
