< Exodus 24 >
1 And he said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the chiefs of Israel; and give me worship from a distance.
Ọ gwara Mosis sị, “Rigokwute Onyenwe anyị, gị na Erọn, na Nadab, na Abihu, na mmadụ iri asaa site na ndị okenye Izrel. Ma unu ga-efe ofufe site nʼebe dị anya.
2 And Moses only may come near to the Lord; but the others are not to come near, and the people may not come up with them.
Emesịa, ọ bụ naanị Mosis ga-abịarute Onyenwe anyị nso. Ndị nke ọzọ agaghị abịaru nso. Ndị mmadụ ndị ọzọ agaghịkwa eso ya rigota.”
3 Then Moses came and put before the people all the words of the Lord and his laws: and all the people, answering with one voice, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis bịara gwa ndị Izrel okwu niile na iwu niile Onyenwe anyị nyere. Ha niile zaghachiri ya nʼotu olu sị, “Anyị ga-emezu ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kwuru.”
4 Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
Mosis deturu ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, o biliri wuo ebe ịchụ aja na ndịda ugwu ahụ. O gwunyere ogidi nkume iri na abụọ nke nọchiri anya ebo iri na abụọ ụmụ Izrel.
5 And he sent some of the young men of the children of Israel to make burned offerings and peace-offerings of oxen to the Lord.
Mosis zipụtara ụmụ okorobịa Izrel, ndị chụrụ aja nsure ọkụ ma werekwa ụmụ oke ehi chụọ aja udo nye Onyenwe anyị.
6 And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.
Mosis tinyere ọkara ọbara ehi ndị ahụ nʼime efere. Ma o fesara ọkara ọbara nke fọdụrụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
7 And he took the book of the agreement, reading it in the hearing of the people: and they said, Everything which the Lord has said we will do, and we will keep his laws.
Emesịa, Mosis guzoro nʼebe ahụ gụpụta na ntị mmadụ niile, ihe dị nʼAkwụkwọ Ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ. Mgbe ụmụ Izrel nụrụ ya, ha weere otu olu kwuo sị, “Anyị anụla, anyị ga-eme ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Anyị ga-erube isi.”
8 Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.
Mgbe ahụ, Mosis weere ọbara ahụ dị nʼime efere, fesaa ya nʼahụ ndị ahụ niile, sị, “Nke a bụ ọbara ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nke dị nʼetiti unu na Onyenwe anyị, dịka okwu niile ndị a si dị.”
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the chiefs of Israel went up:
Mosis rigoro nʼelu ugwu, ya na Erọn, na Nadab na Abihu, na mmadụ iri asaa site na ndị okenye Izrel.
10 And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.
Ha hụrụ Chineke nke Izrel. Nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya abụọ, e were ihe dịka ebe nzọkwasị ụkwụ nke e ji nkume safaia mee. Nkume ndị a na-enwukwa ezi onwunwu dịka mbara eluigwe.
11 And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.
Ọ bụ ezie na ndị okenye Izrel hụrụ Chineke anya ma ọ laghị ha nʼiyi. Kama o mere ka ha nọọ nʼihu ya rie, ṅụọ.
12 And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.
Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Rigota, bịakwute m nʼelu ugwu, nọdụkwa ebe ahụ, maka na aga m enye gị mbadamba nkume nke iwu na ụkpụrụ dị na ya, nke m ji aka m dee maka i ji kuziere ha.”
13 Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
Mosis biliri, ya na Joshua onye na-agara ya ozi. Mosis nʼonwe ya rigokwara nʼelu ugwu Chineke.
14 And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.
Ọ gwara ndị okenye Izrel okwu sị, “Cherenụ anyị nʼebe a tutu ruo mgbe anyị ga-alaghachikwute unu. Unu na Erọn na Hua nọ, onye ọbụla nwere nsogbu jekwuru ha.”
15 And Moses went up into the mountain, and it was covered by the cloud.
Ngwangwa, Mosis rigoro nʼelu ugwu ahụ, oke igwe ojii kpuchiri ugwu ahụ niile,
16 And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.
ebube Onyenwe anyị kpuchikwara elu ugwu ahụ. Ọ bụ ụbọchị isii ka igwe ojii kpuchiri ugwu ahụ. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼetiti igwe ojii ahụ kpọọ Mosis oku.
17 And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.
Ma nʼebe ndị Izrel nọ, ebube Onyenwe anyị na-enwu dịka ọkụ na-achọ irechapụ ugwu ahụ.
18 And Moses went up the mountain, into the cloud, and was there for forty days and forty nights.
Mosis banyere nʼime igwe ojii ahụ mgbe ọ na-arịgo ugwu ahụ. Ọ nọgidere nʼelu ugwu ahụ iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị.
