< Exodus 19 >
1 In the third moneth, after the children of Israel were gone out of the lande of Egypt, the same day came they into the wildernes of Sinai.
Mweri wa gatatũ thuutha wa andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri, mũthenya o ũcio-rĩ, magĩkinya Werũ wa Sinai.
2 For they departed from Rephidim, and came to the desart of Sinai, and camped in the wildernesse: euen there Israel camped before the mount.
Thuutha wa kuuma Refidimu, magĩtoonya werũ wa Sinai, nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩamba hema ciao kũu werũ-inĩ, magũrũ-inĩ ma kĩrĩma kĩu kĩa Sinai.
3 But Moses went vp vnto God, for ye Lord had called out of the mount vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Iaakob, and tell the children of Israel,
Ningĩ Musa akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ harĩ Ngai, nake Jehova akĩmwĩta arĩ kĩrĩma-inĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo ũkwĩra nyũmba ya Jakubu, na wĩre andũ a Isiraeli:
4 Ye haue seene what I did vnto the Egyptians, and how I caryed you vpon eagles wings, and haue brought you vnto me.
‘Inyuĩ ene nĩmweyoneire ũrĩa Ndeekire bũrũri wa Misiri, o na ũrĩa ndahaanire ta ndamũkuuire na mathagu ma nderi, ngĩmũrehe harĩ niĩ.
5 Now therefore if ye wil heare my voyce in deede, and keepe my couenant, then ye shalbe my chiefe treasure aboue all people, though all the earth be mine.
Na rĩrĩ, mũngĩnjathĩkĩra biũ na mũmenyerere kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa-rĩ, gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ ciothe, inyuĩ mũgaatuĩka andũ akwa a goro. O na gũtuĩka thĩ yothe nĩ yakwa-rĩ,
6 Yee shall be vnto mee also a kingdome of Priestes, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel.
inyuĩ mũgaatuĩka ũthamaki wakwa wa athĩnjĩri-Ngai na rũrĩrĩ rwamũre.’ Ciugo icio nĩcio ũkwĩra andũ a Isiraeli.”
7 Moses then came and called for the Elders of the people, and proposed vnto them all these things, which the Lord commanded him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩcooka, na agĩĩta athuuri arĩa matongoragia andũ, akĩmahe ũhoro wothe ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte ameere.
8 And the people answered all together, and sayd, All that the Lord hath commanded, we will doe. And Moses reported the wordes of the people vnto the Lord.
Nao andũ acio magĩĩtĩkanĩria hamwe makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgwĩka ũrĩa wothe Jehova oigĩte.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩcookeria Jehova ũhoro ũrĩa moigire.
9 And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Lo, I come vnto thee in a thicke cloude, that the people may heare, whiles I talke with thee, and that they may also beleeue thee for euer. (for Moses had tolde the wordes of the people vnto the Lord)
Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũũka kũrĩ inyuĩ ndĩ thĩinĩ wa itu itumanu, nĩgeetha andũ maanjigue ngĩaria nawe, nao nĩ megũtũũra makwĩhokete.” Musa agĩcooka akĩĩra Jehova ũrĩa andũ moigĩte.
10 Moreouer, the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Goe to the people, and sanctifie them to day and to morow, and let them wash their clothes.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ kũrĩ andũ ũmatherie ũmũthĩ na rũciũ. Meere mathambie nguo ciao,
11 And let them be ready on the third day: for the thirde day the Lord will come downe in the sight of all the people vpon mount Sinai:
na makorwo mehaarĩirie mũthenya wa gatatũ, tondũ mũthenya ũcio Jehova nĩagaikũrũka igũrũ rĩa Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai andũ othe makĩonaga.
12 And thou shalt set markes vnto the people rounde about, saying, Take heede to your selues that ye goe not vp the mount, nor touche the border of it: whosoeuer toucheth the mount, shall surely die.
Ĩkĩra mĩhaka ĩthiũrũrũkĩrie kĩrĩma, na ũmeere ũũ, ‘Mwĩmenyererei mũtikahaice kĩrĩma kana mũhutie magũrũ-inĩ ma kĩo. Ũrĩa wothe ũkaahutia kĩrĩma ti-itherũ nĩakooragwo.
13 No hand shall touche it, but he shalbe stoned to death, or striken through with darts: whether it be beast or man, he shall not liue: when the horne bloweth long, they shall come vp into the mountaine.
Ti-itherũ nĩakahũũrwo na mahiga nyuguto, kana arathwo na mĩguĩ; hatirĩ guoko gũkaamũhutia. Ndagetĩkĩrio atũũre muoyo, arĩ mũndũ kana nyamũ.’ No rĩrĩa coro wa rũhĩa rwa ndũrũme ũrĩgamba, no rĩo marĩhaica kĩrĩma igũrũ.”
14 Then Moses went downe from ye mount vnto the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
Thuutha wa Musa gũikũrũka oimĩte kĩrĩma-inĩ agĩthiĩ kũrĩ andũ, akĩmatheria, nao magĩthambia nguo ciao.
15 And he said vnto the people, Be ready on the third day, and come not at your wiues.
Ningĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhaarĩriei nĩ ũndũ wa mũthenya wa gatatũ. Mũtigakome na andũ-a-nja.”
16 And the thirde day, when it was morning, there was thunders and lightnings, and a thicke cloude vpon the mount, and the sounde of the trumpet exceeding loude, so that all the people, that was in the campe, was afrayde.
Rũciinĩ rwa mũthenya wa gatatũ, gũkĩgĩa ngwa o na heni, na itu itumanu rĩgĩikara igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩma, gũkĩiguuo mũgambo mũnene wa coro. Andũ othe arĩa maarĩ kambĩ, makĩinaina.
17 Then Moses brought the people out of the tents to meete with God, and they stoode in the nether part of the mount.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa agĩtongoria andũ kuuma kambĩ magacemanie na Ngai, nao makĩrũgama magũrũ-inĩ ma kĩrĩma.
18 And mount Sinai was all on smoke, because the Lord came downe vpon it in fire, and the smoke therof ascended, as the smoke of a fornace, and all the mount trembled exceedingly.
Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai kĩahumbĩrĩtwo nĩ ndogo, tondũ Jehova aikũrũkire igũrũ wakĩo arĩ mwaki-inĩ. Nayo ndogo ĩgĩtoogororoka kuuma igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩma ta ndogo ĩkuuma riiko-inĩ inene; nakĩo kĩrĩma gĩgĩthingitha na hinya,
19 And when the sound of the trumpet blew long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by voyce.
naguo mũgambo wa coro ũgĩkĩrĩrĩria kũneneha. Nake Musa akĩaria, naguo mũgambo wa Ngai ũkĩmũcookeria.
20 (For the Lord came downe vpon mount Sinai on the toppe of the mount) and when the Lord called Moses vp into the top of the mount, Moses went vp.
Jehova agĩikũrũka igũrũ rĩa Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai na agĩĩta Musa ahaice kũu kĩrĩma igũrũ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩhaica,
21 Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go down, charge the people, that they breake not their boundes, to go vp to the Lord to gaze, least many of them perish.
nake Jehova akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka na ũkaanie andũ matikehatĩrĩrie kwambata gũũka kuona Jehova, nĩguo aingĩ ao matigakue.
22 And let the Priestes also which come to the Lord be sanctified, least the Lord destroy them.
O na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa me gũthengerera Jehova, no nginya metherie kana Jehova amahithũkĩre, amaniine.”
23 And Moses sayde vnto the Lord, The people can not come vp into the mount Sinai: for thou hast charged vs, saying, Set markes on the mountaine, and sanctifie it.
Musa akĩĩra Jehova atĩrĩ, “Andũ matingĩhaica Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai tondũ we mwene nĩwatũkaanirie, ũgĩtwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ĩkĩra mũhaka ũthiũrũrũkĩrie kĩrĩma, na ũkĩamũre gĩtuĩke gĩtheru.’”
24 And the Lord sayd vnto him, Go, get thee downe, and come vp, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the Priestes and the people breake their boundes to come vp vnto the Lord, least he destroy them.
Jehova akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka, mwambate na Harũni. No athĩnjĩri-Ngai na andũ matikehatĩrĩrie kwambata mathiĩ kũrĩ Jehova kana amahithũkĩre amaniine.”
25 So Moses went downe vnto the people, and tolde them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩikũrũka kũrĩ andũ acio, akĩmahe ũhoro ũcio.
