Exodus 19
1 In the third month after the children of Israel went out from Egypt, on the same day, they came into the waste land of Sinai.
Sesudah itu bangsa Israel meninggalkan Rafidim, dan pada tanggal satu bulan ketiga setelah mereka meninggalkan Mesir, tibalah mereka di padang gurun Sinai. Mereka berkemah di kaki Gunung Sinai,
2 And when they had gone away from Rephidim and had come into the waste land of Sinai, they put up their tents in the waste land before the mountain: there Israel put up its tents.
3 And Moses went up to God, and the voice of the Lord came to him from the mountain, saying, Say to the family of Jacob, and give word to the children of Israel:
dan Musa mendaki gunung itu untuk bertemu dengan Allah. TUHAN berbicara kepada Musa dari gunung itu dan menyuruh dia mengumumkan kepada orang Israel, keturunan Yakub,
4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I took you, as on eagles' wings, guiding you to myself.
"Kamu sudah melihat apa yang Kulakukan terhadap orang Mesir, dan bagaimana Aku membawa kamu kepada-Ku di tempat ini dengan kuasa besar, seperti burung rajawali membawa anaknya di atas sayapnya.
5 If now you will truly give ear to my voice and keep my agreement, you will be my special property out of all the peoples: for all the earth is mine:
Sekarang kalau kamu taat kepada-Ku dan setia kepada perjanjian-Ku, kamu akan Kujadikan umat-Ku sendiri. Seluruh bumi adalah milik-Ku, tetapi kamu akan menjadi milik kesayangan-Ku,
6 And you will be a kingdom of priests to me, and a holy nation. These are the words which you are to say to the children of Israel.
khusus untuk diri-Ku sendiri, dan kamu akan melayani Aku sebagai imam-imam."
7 And Moses came and sent for the chiefs of the people and put before them all these words which the Lord had given him orders to say.
Maka turunlah Musa dan memanggil para pemimpin supaya berkumpul, lalu diceritakannya kepada mereka segala sesuatu yang diperintahkan TUHAN kepadanya.
8 And all the people, answering together, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do. And Moses took back to the Lord the words of the people.
Mereka semua menjawab dengan serentak, "Kami mau melakukan segala yang dikatakan TUHAN," dan jawaban itu disampaikan Musa kepada TUHAN. Lalu kata TUHAN kepada Musa, "Aku akan datang kepadamu terselubung dalam awan yang tebal; orang-orang akan mendengar Aku berbicara kepadamu, dan mulai saat itu mereka akan selalu percaya kepadamu.
9 And the Lord said to Moses, See, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that what I say to you may come to the ears of the people and they may have belief in you for ever. And Moses gave the Lord word of what the people had said.
10 And the Lord said to Moses, Go to the people and make them holy today and tomorrow, and let their clothing be washed.
Sekarang jumpailah orang-orang itu, dan suruhlah mereka hari ini dan besok menyiapkan diri untuk beribadat. Mereka harus mencuci pakaian mereka.
11 And by the third day let them be ready: for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai, before the eyes of all the people.
Lusa mereka harus sudah siap. Pada hari itu Aku akan turun di atas Gunung Sinai, tempat semua orang dapat melihat Aku.
12 And let limits be marked out for the people round the mountain, and say to them, Take care not to go up the mountain or near the sides of it: whoever puts his foot on the mountain will certainly come to his death:
Buatlah tanda di sekeliling gunung ini sebagai batas yang tak boleh dilewati bangsa itu. Laranglah bangsa itu mendaki gunung, bahkan mendekatinya. Barangsiapa melewati batasnya, akan dihukum mati;
13 He is not to be touched by a hand, but is to be stoned or have an arrow put through him; man or beast, he is to be put to death: at the long sounding of a horn they may come up to the mountain.
orang itu harus dilempari batu atau dipanah, dan tak boleh disentuh. Ini berlaku baik untuk manusia maupun untuk hewan; semua yang melewati batas itu harus dihukum mati. Pada waktu terdengar bunyi panjang dari trompet, orang-orang itu harus mendaki gunung."
14 Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and made the people holy; and their clothing was washed.
Kemudian Musa turun dari gunung dan menyuruh orang-orang itu bersiap-siap untuk beribadat. Katanya, "Lusa kamu harus siap, dan sementara ini kamu tak boleh bersetubuh." Lalu bangsa itu mulai bersiap-siap dan mencuci pakaian mereka.
15 And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day: do not come near a woman.
16 And when morning came on the third day, there were thunders and flames and a thick cloud on the mountain, and a horn sounding very loud; and all the people in the tents were shaking with fear.
Pada hari yang ketiga, diwaktu pagi, ada guruh dan petir. Awan yang tebal muncul di atas gunung dan terdengarlah bunyi trompet yang sangat keras. Semua orang di perkemahan gemetar ketakutan.
17 And Moses made the people come out of their tents and take their places before God; and they came to the foot of the mountain,
Musa membawa mereka keluar untuk bertemu dengan Allah, lalu mereka berdiri di kaki gunung itu.
18 And all the mountain of Sinai was smoking, for the Lord had come down on it in fire: and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a great burning; and all the mountain was shaking.
Seluruh Gunung Sinai ditutupi asap, karena TUHAN turun ke atasnya dalam api. Asap itu mengepul seperti asap dari tempat pembakaran, dan seluruh gunung goncang dengan sangat.
19 And when the sound of the horn became louder and louder, Moses' words were answered by the voice of God.
Bunyi trompet menjadi semakin keras. Musa berbicara, dan Allah menjawabnya dengan guruh.
20 Then the Lord came down on to Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and the Lord sent for Moses to come up to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
TUHAN turun di atas puncak Gunung Sinai, dan memanggil Musa untuk datang ke puncak gunung itu. Lalu Musa mendaki,
21 And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and give the people orders to keep back, for fear that a great number of them, forcing their way through to see the Lord, may come to destruction.
dan TUHAN berkata kepadanya, "Turunlah dan ingatkan orang-orang itu bahwa mereka tak boleh melewati batas untuk datang melihat Aku. Kalau mereka melanggarnya juga, banyak di antara mereka akan mati.
22 And let the priests who come near to the Lord make themselves holy, for fear that the Lord may come on them suddenly.
Bahkan imam-imam yang mau mendekati Aku, harus menyucikan diri; kalau tidak, mereka akan Kuhukum."
23 And Moses said to the Lord, The people will not be able to come up the mountain, for you gave us orders to put limits round the mountain, marking it out and making it holy.
Kata Musa kepada TUHAN, "Orang-orang itu tak dapat naik, sebab Engkau memerintahkan kami untuk menganggap gunung ini sebagai tempat yang suci dan memperhatikan batas di sekelilingnya."
24 And the Lord said to him, Go down, and you and Aaron may come up; but let not the priests and the people make their way through to the Lord, or he will come on them suddenly.
Jawab TUHAN, "Turunlah, lalu kembalilah ke sini bersama Harun. Tetapi imam-imam dan rakyat tak boleh melewati batas untuk datang kepada-Ku. Kalau mereka melewatinya, mereka akan Kuhukum."
25 So Moses went down to the people and said this to them.
Lalu turunlah Musa menemui bangsa itu dan disampaikannya pesan TUHAN kepada mereka.
