Exodus 24
1 And he said to Moses: Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel, and you shall adore afar off.
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 And Moses alone shall come up to the Lord, but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people come up with him.
Musa yekka y’anaansemberera; abalala tebasembera. Era abantu tebasaana kujja naye.”
3 So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: We will do all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken.
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 all the words of the Lord: and rising in the morning he built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve titles according to 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 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and sacrificed pacific victims of calves to the Lord.
N’atuma abasajja abavubuka Abayisirayiri, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama, ne ssaddaaka ey’emirembe ey’ente.
6 Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls: and the rest he poured upon the altar.
Musa n’addira ekitundu ky’omusaayi n’akissa mu mabeseni, n’ekitundu ekirala n’akimansira ku kyoto.
7 And taking the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people: and they said: All things that the Lord hath spoken we will do, 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 And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he said: This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning 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 and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel went up:
Awo Musa ne Alooni, ne Nadabu, ne Abiku, n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ensanvu, ne bambuka;
10 And they saw the God of Israel: and under his feet as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as the heaven, when clear.
ne balaba Katonda wa Isirayiri. Wansi w’ebigere bye nga waliwo ng’omwaliiro ogw’amayinja ga safiro, agalabika obulungi ng’eggulu eritaliiko bire.
11 Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the children of Israel, that retired afar off, and they saw God, and they did eat and drink.
Naye Katonda teyakola kabi konna ku bakulembeze ba Isirayiri abo; Katonda baamulaba, ne balya era ne banywa.
12 And the Lord said to Moses: Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandments which I have written: that thou mayst teach them.
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 Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into the mount of God,
Awo Musa n’asituka n’omuweereza we Yoswa; Musa n’ayambuka ku lusozi lwa Katonda.
14 Said to the ancients: Wait ye here till we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you: if any question shall arise, you shall refer it 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 And when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount.
Awo Musa n’alinnyalinnya olusozi, ekire ne kirubikka.
16 And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud six days: and the seventh day he called him out of the midst of 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 burning fire upon the top of the mount, in the eyes of the children of Israel.
Abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baatunuulira ekitiibwa kya Mukama, ne kibalabikira ng’omuliro ogw’amaanyi ennyo ku ntikko y’olusozi.
18 And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights.
Musa n’ayingira mu kire ng’agenda alinnyalinnya olusozi. Ku lusozi yamalako ennaku amakumi ana.
