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.
Amy volam-paha-telo niengà’ o ana’ Israeleo an-tane Mitsraimey, le tsatok’ amy àndro zay t’ie nivotrake am-patrambei’ i Sinay eo.
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.
Fa niakara’ iareo ty Refidime le nipok’ am-patrambei’ i Sinay vaho nitobe an-dratraratra ey. Aa le nañialo aolo’ i vohitsey t’Israele.
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:
Niañambone mb’ aman’ Añahare mb’eo amy zao t’i Mosè, le nikanjy aze boak’ am-bohitsey t’Iehovà ami’ty hoe, Ty hoe ty ho saontsie’o amy hasavereña’ Iakòbey vaho ty hatao’o amo ana’ Israeleo:
4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I took you, as on eagles' wings, guiding you to myself.
Fa niisa’ areo ty nanoeko amy Mitsraime naho nibabeako añ’elam-bantio ninday anahareo mb’amako mb’atoy.
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:
Ie amy zao naho toe janjiñe’ areo ty feoko naho mañambeñe i fañinakoy, le ho vàrako miambake te amy ze hene ondaty. Fonga ahiko ty tane toy.
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.
Le ho fifeheam-pisoroñe amako naho fifelehañe miavake nahareo. Izay ty entañe ho saontsie’o amo ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Aa le nimb’eo t’i Mosè nikoike o androanavi’ ondatio vaho natrefe’e am’ iereo i nampitsara’ Iehovà azey.
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.
Le fonga nanoiñe an-kapindre ondatio, ty hoe, Ho henefa’ay ze tsinara’ Iehovà. Aa le nabali’ i Mosè am’ Iehovà i saontsi’ ondatioy.
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.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Hehe, te miheo mb’ama’o an-drahoñe milodolodo ao iraho, soa t’ie mivolañe, le ho janjiñe’ ondatio irehe vaho hatokisa’ iareo nainai’e. Ie tinaro’ i Mosè am’ Iehovà i saontsi’ ondatioy,
10 And the Lord said to Moses, Go to the people and make them holy today and tomorrow, and let their clothing be washed.
le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Akia mb’ am’ ondatio mb’eo naho ampiavaho te anito naho hamaray vaho ampanasao iareo o lamba’eo.
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.
Le ampihentseño ho ami’ty andro faha-telo fa herone ty hizotsoa’ Iehovà am-Bohi-Sinay am-pahaisaha’ ze hene ondaty.
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:
Ampiarikoboño efetsefetse ty am’ondatio ty vohitse toy vaho ano ty hoe, Mitaoa tsy hiañambone mb’ambohitsey le ko tsapaeñe ty indra’e, fa havetrake ze mitsapa o vohitseo.
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.
Tsy ho tsapaem-pitàñe, fa ho fetsaham-bato ndra tomboheñe ndra t’ie ondaty ndra biby, fa tsy ho veloñe. Naho mivolañe i antsivay le hitotoke amy vohitsey iereo.
14 Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and made the people holy; and their clothing was washed.
Aa le nizotso i vohitsey mb’ am’ ondatio t’i Mosè naho nampiavahe’e ondatio vaho nanasa lamba iereo.
15 And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day: do not come near a woman.
Le hoe re am’ ondatio, Mihentseña ho ami’ ty herone, le ko mitotoke ami’ty valy.
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.
Ie maraindrai’ i andro fahateloy, le niparapapiake ty àmpiñe miharo helatse vaho ty rahoñe jabajaba amy vohitsey, le akore ty fipoñafa’ i antsivay kanao hene nihondrahondra ondaty an-tobeo.
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,
Nendese’ i Mosè niakatse i tobey ondatio hifañaoñ’ aman’ Añahare le nijohañe ambane’ i vohitsey.
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.
Kinolopon-katoeñe amy zao i vohitsey amy te nizotso ama’e ami’ty afo t’Iehovà; le nifororoake nañambone manahake ty hatoe’ o votrim-birìke sodorañeo ty hatoeñe vaho niozoñozoñe mafe i vohitsey.
19 And when the sound of the horn became louder and louder, Moses' words were answered by the voice of God.
Ie nitolom-pipopo ty feo i antsivay, nihamatsiañe, le nisaontsy t’i Mosè vaho nanoiñe an-kotroke t’i Andrianañahare.
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.
Ie nizotso mb’amy Vohi-Sinaiy mb’eo t’Iehovà, ambone’ i vohitsey eo, le kinanji’ Iehovà t’i Mosè hiañambone’ i vohitsey vaho niañambone mb’eo t’i Mosè.
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.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Mizotsoa mb’eo le hatahatao ondatio tsy mone hisosoke mb’eo hisamba Iehovà; vaho hifitafita eo ty maro.
22 And let the priests who come near to the Lord make themselves holy, for fear that the Lord may come on them suddenly.
Le tsi-mete tsy mañefe-batañe hey o mpisoroñeo te hañarine Iehovà hera hiboroboñak’ ama’e t’Iehovà.
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.
Hoe t’i Mosè amy Iehovà, Tsy mete ondatio ty homb’ am-Bohi-Sinay mb’ atoy; amy te Ihe ro nañatahata anay ami’ty hoe, Ampijadoño efetse hañarikatoke i vohitsey vaho ampiambaho.
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.
Hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Akia, mizotsoa, le mañambonea mb’ etoy, ihe mindre amy Aharone; le ko ado’o hiboroboñake hiañambone mb’am’ Iehovà o mpiaoloo ndra ondatio; tsy mone hitorotosira’e.
25 So Moses went down to the people and said this to them.
Aa le nizotso mb’am’ ondatio mb’eo t’i Mosè ninday i tsaray.
