Exodus 24
1 And he said to Moses, Go up to Jehovah, thou and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship afar off.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu hake koe kia Sihova, ʻa koe mo ʻElone, mo Natapi, mo ʻApiu, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻe toko fitungofulu; pea punou hifo ʻakimoutolu mei he mamaʻo ʻo hū.
2 And let Moses alone come near Jehovah; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.
Pea ko Mōsese tokotaha pe ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi kia Sihova: kaeʻoua te nau haʻu ʻo ofi; pea ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hake ʻae kakai mo ia.”
3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words that Jehovah has said will we do!
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne tala ki he kakai ʻae ngaahi folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, mo e ngaahi fono kotoa pē; pea tali lea taha pe ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e ngaahi lea kotoa pē kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova te mau fai.”
4 And Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ia ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo ne langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻi he lalo moʻunga, mo e maka ʻe hongofulu ma ua, ʻo fakatatau ki he faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻo ʻIsileli.
5 And he sent the youths of the children of Israel, and they offered up burnt-offerings, and sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offering of bullocks to Jehovah.
Pea fekau ʻe ia ʻae kau talavou ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, mo e ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe melino, ko e fanga pulu.
6 And Moses took half the blood, and put [it] in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mōsese hono vaeua mālieʻanga ʻoe toto, ʻo ne lingi ia ki he ngaahi ipu; pea ko hono vahe ʻe taha ʻoe toto naʻa ne luluku ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga.
7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read [it] in the ears of the people; and they said, All that Jehovah has said will we do, and obey!
Pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae tohi ʻoe fuakava, ʻo ne lau ia ke ongoʻi ʻe he kakai: pea naʻa nau tala, ‘Ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova te mau fai, pea [te mau ]talangofua.”
8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled [it] on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you concerning all these words.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mōsese ʻae toto, ʻo ne luluku ia ki he kakai, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko e toto ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia kuo fai ʻe Sihova mo kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi folofola ni kotoa pē.”
9 And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up;
Pea toki ʻalu hake ai ʻa Mōsese, mo ʻElone, mo Natapi, mo ʻApiu, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻe toko fitungofulu.
10 and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were work of transparent sapphire, and as it were the form of heaven for clearness.
Pea naʻa nau mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae ngāue ʻo hangē ha faliki maka ko e safaia, pea naʻe tatau mo e langi maʻa ʻa hono malama.
11 And on the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: they saw God, and ate and drank.
Pea naʻe ʻikai hili hono nima ki he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea naʻa nau mamata ki he ʻOtua foki, ʻonau kai mo inu.
12 And Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law, and the commandment that I have written, for their instruction.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu hake koe kiate au ʻi he moʻunga, pea nofo ai: pea te u tuku kiate koe ʻae maka lafalafa ʻe ua, pea mo e fono, mo e ngaahi fekau kuo u tohi; koeʻuhi ke ke ako ʻaki ia.”
13 And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant; and Moses went up to the mountain of God.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese mo hono tauhi ko Siosiua: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Mōsese ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua.
14 And he said to the elders, Wait here for us, until we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matter, let him come before them.
Pea naʻe tala ʻe ia ki he kau mātuʻa, “Mou tatali ʻi heni kiate kimaua, ke ʻoua ke ma toe ʻomi kiate kimoutolu: pea vakai, ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa ʻElone, mo Hua: kapau ʻe ai ha meʻa ʻi ha tangata ke fai, ke haʻu ia kiate kinaua.”
15 And Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Mōsese ki he moʻunga, pea naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻae moʻunga ʻe he ʻao.
16 And the glory of Jehovah abode on mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
Pea naʻe nofo mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, pea naʻe ʻuʻufi ia ʻe he ʻao ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono: pea naʻe folofola ia kia Mōsese ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho mei he loto ʻao.
17 And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Israel.
Pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻo hangē ko e afi fakaʻauha ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and ascended the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ki he loto ʻao, ʻo ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga: pea naʻe ʻi he moʻunga ʻa Mōsese ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu.
