Exodus 24
1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders—and you are to worship at 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 approach the LORD, but the others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”
Musa yekka y’anaansemberera; abalala tebasembera. Era abantu tebasaana kujja naye.”
3 When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will 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 And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along 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 Then he sent out some young men of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings 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 bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.
Musa n’addira ekitundu ky’omusaayi n’akissa mu mabeseni, n’ekitundu ekirala n’akimansira ku kyoto.
7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will 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 So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with 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 went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
Awo Musa ne Alooni, ne Nadabu, ne Abiku, n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ensanvu, ne bambuka;
10 and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.
ne balaba Katonda wa Isirayiri. Wansi w’ebigere bye nga waliwo ng’omwaliiro ogw’amayinja ga safiro, agalabika obulungi ng’eggulu eritaliiko bire.
11 But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.
Naye Katonda teyakola kabi konna ku bakulembeze ba Isirayiri abo; Katonda baamulaba, ne balya era ne banywa.
12 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
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 So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God.
Awo Musa n’asituka n’omuweereza we Yoswa; Musa n’ayambuka ku lusozi lwa Katonda.
14 And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has 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 When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,
Awo Musa n’alinnyalinnya olusozi, ekire ne kirubikka.
16 and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within 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 And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites.
Abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baatunuulira ekitiibwa kya Mukama, ne kibalabikira ng’omuliro ogw’amaanyi ennyo ku ntikko y’olusozi.
18 Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Musa n’ayingira mu kire ng’agenda alinnyalinnya olusozi. Ku lusozi yamalako ennaku amakumi ana.
