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.
Mu mwezi ogwokusatu abaana ba Isirayiri nga bavudde mu Misiri, ne batuuka mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi.
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.
Kubanga baali basitudde okuva mu Lefidimu ne bayingira Eddungu lya Sinaayi. Abayisirayiri ne basimba eweema zaabwe mu ddungu omwo mu maaso g’olusozi Sinaayi.
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,
Awo Musa n’ayambuka eri Katonda; Mukama n’amuyita ng’asinziira ku lusozi ng’agamba nti, “Bino by’onoogamba ennyumba ya Yakobo, by’onootegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti,
4 Ye haue seene what I did vnto the Egyptians, and how I caryed you vpon eagles wings, and haue brought you vnto me.
‘Mwalaba bye nakola Abamisiri, mmwe ne mbasitulira ku biwaawaatiro by’empungu n’embeereetera gye ndi.
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.
Kale, singa mugondera eddoboozi lyange awatali kwerekeramu, ne mukuuma endagaano yange, mulibeera eggwanga lyange ery’enjawulo egganzi mu mawanga gonna, kubanga ensi yonna yange.
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.
Munaabeeranga obwakabaka bwange obwa bakabona, era eggwanga ettukuvu.’ Ebyo bye bigambo by’ojja okutegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri.”
7 Moses then came and called for the Elders of the people, and proposed vnto them all these things, which the Lord commanded him.
Awo Musa n’akomawo, n’ayita abakulembeze b’abantu n’abategeeza ebigambo ebyo byonna Mukama bye yamulagira.
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.
Abantu bonna ne baddiramu wamu nti, “Ebyo byonna Mukama by’agambye, tujja kubikola.” Musa n’ategeeza Mukama ng’abantu bwe baayogera.
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)
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nzija kujja gy’oli mu kire ekikutte, abantu bawulire nga njogera naawe, bakukkirizenga era bakwesigenga ennaku zonna.” Musa n’ategeeza Mukama abantu bye baayogera.
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.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Genda eri abantu, obatukuze leero n’enkya. Bagambe booze engoye zaabwe,
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:
ku lunaku olwokusatu babeere beetegefu, kubanga ku lunaku olwo Mukama alikka ku lusozi Sinaayi ng’Abayisirayiri bonna balaba.
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.
Abayisirayiri bakugire n’olukomera okwetooloola olusozi, obagambe nti, ‘Mwekuume muleme okwambuka ku lusozi oba okulukwatako we lutandikira. Anaalukwatako ajja kuttibwa.
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.
Tajja kukwatibwako, wabula ajja kukubirwa ddala amayinja oba kufumitibwa. Omuntu tajja kulama, n’ebisolo tewaabeewo kirama.’ Akagombe bwe kanaamala okuvugira akabanga, olwo abantu ne balyoka bajja awali olusozi.”
14 Then Moses went downe from ye mount vnto the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
Awo Musa n’ava ku lusozi n’aserengeta eri abantu, n’abatukuza ne bayoza engoye zaabwe.
15 And he said vnto the people, Be ready on the third day, and come not at your wiues.
N’abagamba nti, “Mwetegekere olunaku olwokusatu, ne bakyala bammwe temubasemberera.”
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.
Awo ku lunaku olwokusatu ku nkya ne waba okubwatuka n’okumyansa, n’ekire ekikutte ku lusozi, n’eddoboozi ly’akagombe ery’omwanguka ennyo; abantu bonna abaali mu lusiisira n’okukankana ne bakankana.
17 Then Moses brought the people out of the tents to meete with God, and they stoode in the nether part of the mount.
Musa n’aggya abantu mu lusiisira n’abaleeta basisinkane Katonda; ne bayimirira wansi w’olusozi.
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.
Olusozi Sinaayi ne lubikkibwa omukka; kubanga Mukama yalukkako mu muliro. Omukka ne gunyooka nga gwambuka ng’oguva mu kyoto, n’olusozi lwonna ne lukankana nnyo.
19 And when the sound of the trumpet blew long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by voyce.
Eddoboozi ly’akagombe bwe lyeyongera okuvuga n’omwanguka ogw’amaanyi, Musa n’ayogera, ne Katonda n’amwanukula n’eddoboozi ery’okubwatuka.
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.
Awo Mukama n’akka ku ntikko y’Olusozi Sinaayi. Mukama n’ayita Musa agende ku ntikko y’olusozi; Musa n’alinnya.
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.
Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Serengeta eri abantu obalabule baleme kuwaguza okujja okutunula ku Mukama, abantu bangi baleme kuzikirira.
22 And let the Priestes also which come to the Lord be sanctified, least the Lord destroy them.
Ne bakabona, abasemberera Mukama, nabo basaana beetukuze, kubanga Mukama ayinza okubasaanyaawo.”
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 n’addamu Mukama nti, “Abantu tebasobola kwambuka ku Lusozi Sinaayi, kubanga ggwe wennyini watulagira nti, ‘Muteekeewo akakomera okwetooloola olusozi, lusigale lwokka nga lutukuvu.’”
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.
Mukama n’alagira Musa nti, “Serengeta oleete Alooni; naye bakabona n’abantu tobaganya kuwaguza kujja kwambuka eri Mukama, kubanga ayinza okubasaanyaawo.”
25 So Moses went downe vnto the people, and tolde them.
Bw’atyo Musa n’aserengeta mu bantu n’abategeeza.
