< 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.
Ipapo akati kuna Mozisi, “Kwira kuna Jehovha, iwe naAroni, Nadhabhi naAbhihu, navakuru vavaIsraeri makumi manomwe. Munamate muri chinhambwe,
2 And Moses alone shall come up to the Lord, but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people come up with him.
asi Mozisi oga ndiye anofanira kuswedera kuna Jehovha; vamwe havafaniri kuswedera pedyo. Uye vanhu havangakwiri 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.
Mozisi akati aenda kundoudza vanhu mashoko ose nemirayiro yose yaJehovha, ivo vakati nenzwi rimwe chete, “Tichaita zvinhu zvose zvakarehwa naJehovha.”
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.
Ipapo Mozisi akanyora zvinhu zvose zvakanga zvarehwa naJehovha. Akamuka mangwana acho mangwanani akavaka aritari mujinga megomo uye akamisa mbiru dzamabwe gumi nembiri dzichimirira marudzi gumi namaviri avaIsraeri.
5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and sacrificed pacific victims of calves to the Lord.
Ipapo akatuma majaya avaIsraeri, uye vakapa zvipiriso zvinopiswa uye vakabayira hando duku sezvipiriso zvokuwadzana kuna Jehovha.
6 Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls: and the rest he poured upon the altar.
Mozisi akatora hafu yeropa akariisa mumidziyo, uye imwe hafu akaisasa paaritari.
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.
Ipapo akatora Bhuku reSungano akariverengera vanhu. Ivo vakati, “Tichaita zvinhu zvose zvakarehwa naJehovha; tichazviteerera.”
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.
Ipapo Mozisi akatora ropa, akarisasa pamusoro pavanhu uye akati, “Iri iropa resungano yaitwa naJehovha nemi maererano namashoko aya ose.”
9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel went up:
Mozisi naAroni, Nadhabhi naAbhihu uye navakuru makumi manomwe vavaIsraeri vakakwira
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.
uye vakaona Mwari waIsraeri. Pasi petsoka dzake pakanga pane chimwe chinhu chakaita sechivakwa chesafire, chakanga chichionekwa sedenga pacharo.
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.
Asi Mwari haana kusimudza ruoko rwake pamusoro pavatungamiri vavaIsraeri ava; vakaona Mwari, uye vakadya vakanwa.
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.
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, “Kwira kuno kwandiri pamusoro pegomo ugare pano, ndigokupa mahwendefa amabwe, ane mirayiro nemitemo zvandanyora kuti varayirwe.”
13 Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into the mount of God,
Ipapo Mozisi akasimuka naJoshua mubatsiri wake, uye Mozisi akakwira mugomo raMwari.
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.
Akati kuvakuru, “Timirirei pano kusvikira tadzoka kwamuri. Aroni naHuri vanemi, uye ani naani zvake anopesana nomumwe anogona kuenda kwavari.”
15 And when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount.
Mozisi akati akwira mugomo, gore rakarifukidza,
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.
uye kubwinya kwaJehovha kwakagara pamusoro peGomo reSinai. Gore rakafukidza gomo iro kwamazuva matanhatu, uye pazuva rechinomwe, Jehovha akadana Mozisi ari mukati megore.
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.
KuvaIsraeri, kubwinya kwaJehovha kwairatidzika somoto unoparadza uri pamusoro pegomo.
18 And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights.
Ipapo akapinda mugore paakanga achikwira mugomo. Uye akagara mugomo kwamazuva makumi mana nousiku huna makumi mana.
