Exodus 24
1 He said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.
Awo Mukama n’alagira Musa nti, “Mwambuke eno gye ndi, ggwe ne Alooni, ne Nadabu, ne Abiku, n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri nsanvu. Musinze nga mwesuddeko akabanga,
2 Moses alone shall come near to the LORD, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”
Musa yekka y’anaansemberera; abalala tebasembera. Era abantu tebasaana kujja naye.”
3 Moses came and told the people all the LORD’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which the LORD has spoken will we do.”
Musa n’ajja n’ategeeza abantu ebigambo byonna Mukama bye yamugamba awamu n’amateeka ge gonna. Abantu bonna ne baddiramu wamu ne bagamba nti, “Ebigambo ebyo byonna Mukama by’agambye tunaabikola.”
4 Moses wrote all the LORD’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
Bw’atyo Musa n’awandiika ebigambo byonna Mukama bye yayogera. Awo Musa n’akeera mu makya n’azimba ekyoto awo wansi w’olusozi; n’asimbako n’empagi kkumi na bbiri ng’ebika bya Isirayiri ekkumi n’ebibiri bwe byali.
5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to the LORD.
N’atuma abasajja abavubuka Abayisirayiri, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama, ne ssaddaaka ey’emirembe ey’ente.
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
Musa n’addira ekitundu ky’omusaayi n’akissa mu mabeseni, n’ekitundu ekirala n’akimansira ku kyoto.
7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that the LORD has said, and be obedient.”
N’asitula Ekitabo ky’Endagaano, n’akisomera abantu nga bonna bawulira. Ne bagamba nti, “Ebyo byonna Mukama by’agambye tujja kubikola; era tunaamugonderanga.”
8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.”
Awo Musa n’addira omusaayi n’agumansira ku bantu, n’agamba nti, “Guno gwe musaayi gw’endagaano Mukama Katonda gye yabalagira okukwata.”
9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
Awo Musa ne Alooni, ne Nadabu, ne Abiku, n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ensanvu, ne bambuka;
10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.
ne balaba Katonda wa Isirayiri. Wansi w’ebigere bye nga waliwo ng’omwaliiro ogw’amayinja ga safiro, agalabika obulungi ng’eggulu eritaliiko bire.
11 He did not lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
Naye Katonda teyakola kabi konna ku bakulembeze ba Isirayiri abo; Katonda baamulaba, ne balya era ne banywa.
12 The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Yambuka eno gye ndi ku lusozi, obeere wano olinde; nzija kukuwa ebipande eby’amayinja okuli amateeka g’empandiise ogayigirize abantu.”
13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.
Awo Musa n’asituka n’omuweereza we Yoswa; Musa n’ayambuka ku lusozi lwa Katonda.
14 He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”
N’agamba abakulembeze b’abantu nti, “Mugira mutulindako wano nga naffe bwe tukomawo. Mbalekedde Alooni ne Kuuli; buli anaaba n’ensonga yonna agende gye bali, bajja kugimumalira.”
15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
Awo Musa n’alinnyalinnya olusozi, ekire ne kirubikka.
16 The LORD’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.
Ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kibeera ku Lusozi Sinaayi. Ekire ne kibikka olusozi okumala ennaku mukaaga; ku lunaku olw’omusanvu Mukama n’ayita Musa ng’asinziira wakati mu kire.
17 The appearance of the LORD’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
Abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baatunuulira ekitiibwa kya Mukama, ne kibalabikira ng’omuliro ogw’amaanyi ennyo ku ntikko y’olusozi.
18 Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Musa n’ayingira mu kire ng’agenda alinnyalinnya olusozi. Ku lusozi yamalako ennaku amakumi ana.
