Exodus 19
1 Two months to the day after they left Egypt, the Israelites arrived at the Sinai desert.
A I ke kolu o ka malama o ka puka ana mai o na mamo a Iseraela mai loko mai o Aigupita, ia la no, hiki mai la lakou i ka waonakele o Sinai.
2 They had set out from Rephidim, and after they entered the Sinai desert they camped there in front of the mountain.
A hele mai la lakou, mai Repidima mai, a hiki ma ka waonahele o Sinai, a hoomoana iho la lakou ma ka waonahele; malaila ka Iseraela i hoomoana ai ma kahi e pili ana i ka mauna.
3 Moses went up the mountain to God. The Lord spoke to Moses from the mountain, and told him, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob, the Israelites:
Pii aku la o Mose i ke Akua, a hea mai la o Iehova ia ia mai ka mauna mai, me ka i ana mai, Penei oe e olelo aku ai i na pua a Iakoba, a e hai aku i na mamo a Iseraela;
4 ‘You saw for yourselves what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings, how I brought you to myself.
Ua ike no oukou i na mea a'u i hana'i i ko Aigupita, i ko'u kaikai ana ia oukou ma na eheu o ka aeto, a lawe mai ia oukou io'u nei.
5 Now if you really obey what I say and keep the agreement with me, then out of all the nations you will be a special people that belong to me. While the whole world is mine,
A ina hoolohe io mai oukou i ko'u leo, a malama hoi i ko'u berita, alaila e lilo auanei oukou i waiwai no'u, mamua o na kanaka a pau; no ka mea, no'u no ka honua nei a pau:
6 for me you will be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.’ This is what you are to tell the Israelites.”
E lilo no hoi oukou i aupuni kahuna pule no'u, a he lahuikanaka laa. Oia hoi na olelo au e hai aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela.
7 So Moses went back down and summoned the elders of the people, and presented to them everything the Lord had ordered him to say.
Hele ae la o Mose, a hea aku la i na lunakahiko o kanaka, a hoonoho iho la imua o lakou i keia mau olelo a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
8 Everyone answered, “We promise to do everything the Lord says.” Then Moses took the people's answer back to the Lord.
Olelo pu mai la na kanaka a pau, i mai la, O na mea a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai, e hana makou ia mea. Hai aku la o Mose i na olelo a kanaka ia Iehova.
9 The Lord told Moses, “Look! I'm going to come to you in a thick cloud so the people will hear me speaking with you and as a result they will always trust you.” Then Moses reported to the Lord what the people had said.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Aia hoi, e hele mai ana au i ou nei maloko o ke ao panopano, i lohe na kanaka i ka'u kamailio ana me oe, a e manaoio mau loa mai ia oe. A hai aku la o Mose i na olelo a kanaka ia Iehova.
10 The Lord told Moses, “Go back down and prepare them spiritually today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E hele oe i kanaka, e hoolaa ia lakou i keia la, a apopo; e holoi hoi lakou i ko lakou kapa.
11 and be ready on the third day because that is when the Lord will descend upon Mount Sinai in the full view of everyone.
E hoomakaukau, no ke kolu o ka la, no ka mea, i ke kolu o ka la, e iho mai ai o Iehova, imua o na maka o kanaka a pau, ma ka mauna o Sinai.
12 Set up a boundary for the people all around and warn them, ‘Watch out! Don't try to go up the mountain—don't even touch it! For anyone who touches the mountain will most certainly be killed. Don't touch any person or any animal that has touched the mountain.
A e kau iho oe i pale, no na kanaka a puni, a e i aku hoi, E malama oukou ia oukou iho, i ko oukou pii ana i ka mauna, a me ka pa ana i kona kihi: o ka mea e pa i ka mauna, he oiaio no e make ia.
13 Make sure they are stoned or shot with arrows—they must not be allowed to live.’ Only when there is a long blast on the ram's horn can the people come up the mountain.”
Mai hoopa aku kekahi lima ia mea, no ka mea, he oiaio no, e hailukuia oia, a houia; ina he holoholona, a he kanaka, aole ia e ola: a i kani loihi ka pu, alaila e hele mai lakou i ka mauna.
14 Moses went down the mountain and prepared the people spiritually and they washed their clothes.
Iho iho la o Mose ilalo, mai ka mauna iho i kanaka; hoolaa iho la i kanaka; a holoi iho la lakou i ko lakou kapa.
15 He instructed the people, “Get ready for the third day, and don't be intimate with a woman.”
I aku la ia i kanaka, E hoomakaukau oukou, no ke kolu o ka la; mai komo ae i na wahine.
16 When morning came on the third day there was thunder and lightning, and a thick cloud covered the mountain. There was the very loud sound of a ram's horn, and everyone in the camp shook with fear.
A i ke kakahiaka o ke kolu o ka la, he hekili. a he uila, a he ao polohiwa ma ka mauna, a he leo no ka pu e kani ikaika loa ana; haalulu iho la na kanaka a pau ma. ko lakou wihi i hoomoana ai.
17 Moses led the people out from the camp to meet God. They stood at the foot of the mountain.
Kai mai la o Mose i kanaka mawaho o kahi a lakou e hoomoana ai, e halawai me ke Akua; a ku iho la lakou ma kahi malalo iho o ka mauna.
18 Smoke poured out over the whole of Mount Sinai because the Lord's presence had come down like fire. The smoke rose up like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain shook furiously.
Ma ka mauna a pau i Sinai, he uwahi, no ka mea, ua iho mai o Iehova maluna ona maloko o ke ahi: a punohu aku la kona uwahi, me he uwahi umu hao la, haalulu nui iho la ka mauna a pau.
19 As the sound of the ram's horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in a loud, thunderous voice.
A i ke kani loihi loa ana o ka pu, a ikaika nui ae la, olelo aku la o Mose, a pane mai la ka leo o ke Akua ia ia.
20 The Lord descended on the top of Mount Sinai, and he called Moses to come up there. So Moses went up,
Iho mai la o Iehova maluna o ka mauna o Sinai, ma ke poo o ka mauna, a hea mai la o Iehova ia Mose e pii aku i ke poo o ka mauna; a pii aku la o Mose.
21 and the Lord told him, “Go back down, and warn the people not to force their way across the boundary to try to come to the Lord or they will die.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E iho oe ilalo, e kauoha aku i kanaka, o hemo mai lakou io Iehova nei, e nana, a haule lakou he nui loa.
22 Even the priests, who come before the Lord, must prepare themselves spiritually, so that the Lord does not punish them.”
A e huikala hoi na kahuna ia lakou iho, o ka poe e hookokoke ana ia Iehova, o poha aku o Iehova io lakou la.
23 But Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai. You yourself warned us, ‘Set up a boundary around the mountain, and treat it as holy.’”
I aku la o Mose ia Iehova, Aole e hiki na kanaka ke pii mai i ka mauna nei i Sinai: no ka mea, ua kauoha mai oe ia makou, ua i mai, E kau iho i pale a puni ka mauna, a e hookapu ia mea.
24 The Lord told him, “Go down and bring Aaron back up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way to come up to the Lord, or he will punish them.”
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, O hele, e iho oe ilalo, a e pii hou mai oe, o oe, a me Aarona pu; aka, o na kahuna a me kanaka, mai hemo mai lakou, e pii mai io Iehova nei, o poha aku ia maluna o lakou.
25 So Moses went down and explained to the people what the Lord had said.
Iho mai la o Mose ilalo i kanaka, a olelo aku la ia lakou.
