Exodus 24
1 Now hee had said vnto Moses, Come vp to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seuentie of the Elders of Israel, and yee shall worship a farre off.
Kisha Yahweh akamwabia Musa, “Njoo juu kwangu -wewe, Aruni, Nadabu, Abihu, na wazee sabini wa Israeli, na kuniabudu kwa mbali.
2 And Moses himselfe alone shall come neere to the Lord, but they shall not come neere, neither shall the people goe vp with him.
Musa peke yake anaweza kuja karibu yangu. Wengine hawapaswi kuja karibu, wala watu kuja juu na yeye.”
3 Afterwarde Moses came and told the people all the wordes of the Lord, and all the lawes: and all the people answered with one voyce, and said, All the things which the Lord hath said, will we doe.
Musa akaenda juu na kuwaambia watu maneno yote ya Yahweh na amri zake. Watu wote wakajibu kwa sauti moja na kusema, “Tutafanya maneno yote Yahweh aliyo tuamuru.”
4 And Moses wrote all the wordes of the Lord, and rose vp early, and set vp an altar vnder the mountaine, and twelue pillars according to the twelue tribes of Israel.
Kisha Musa akaandika chini maneno yote ya Yahweh. Asubui mapema, Musa akajenga madhabahu chini ya mguu wa mlima na kupanga nguzo kumi na mbili za mawe, ili mawe yawakilishe makabila kumi na mbili ya Israeli.
5 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, which offered burnt offrings of bieues, and sacrificed peace offrings vnto the Lord.
Aliwatuma vijana Wakiisraeli kutoa sadaka ya kuteketeza na kutoa dhabihu za ng'ombe za sadaka ya ushirika kwa Yahweh.
6 Then Moses tooke halfe of the blood, and put it in basens, and halfe of the blood he sprinckled on the altar.
Musa allichukuwa nusu ya damu na kuweka kwenye mabeseni; alinyunyuzia nusu ingine kwenye madhabahu.
7 After he tooke the booke of the couenant, and read it in the audience of the people: who said, All that the Lord hath said, we will do, and be obedient.
Alichukuwa kitabu cha agano na kuwasomea kwa nguvu watu. Walisema, “Tutafanya yote Yahweh aliyo sema. Tutakuwa watiifu.”
8 Then Moses tooke the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold, the blood of the couenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these things.
Kisha Musa akachukuwa damu na kunyunyiza kwa watu. Alisema, “Hii ni damu ya agano Yahweh alilo lifanya nanyi kwa kuwapa hii ahadi kwa maneno yote haya.”
9 Then went vp Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seuentie of the Elders of Israel.
Kisha Musa, Aruni, Nadabu, Abihu, na wazee sabini wa Israeli wakaenda juu ya mlima.
10 And they saw the God of Israel, and vnder his feete was as it were a worke of a Saphir stone, and as the very heauen when it is cleare.
Walimuona Mungu wa Israeli.
11 And vpon the nobles of the children of Israel he laide not his hande: also they sawe God, and did eate and drinke.
Chini ya miguu yake kulikuwa na sakafu iliyo jengwa kwa jiwe la yakuti samawi, safi kama mbingu yenyewe. Mungu hakugusa na mkono kwa hasira viongozi Waisraeli. Walimuona Mungu, na wakanywa na kula.
12 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Come vp to me into the mountaine, and be there, and I will giue thee tables of stone, and the law and the commandement, which I haue written, for to teach them.
Yahweh akamwambia Musa, “Njoo juu kwangu mlimani na ubaki pale. Nitakupa saani za mawe na sheria na amri nilizo ziandika, ili uwafundishe.”
13 Then Moses rose vp, and his minister Ioshua, and Moses went vp into the mountaine of God,
Hivyo Musa akaenda na msaidizi wake Yoshua na kwenda juu mlima wa Mungu.
14 And said vnto the Elders, Tary vs here, vntill we come againe vnto you: and beholde, Aaron, and Hur are with you: whosoeuer hath any matters, let him come to them.
Musa akawaambia wazee, “Baki hapa na mtusubiri hadi tutakapo warudia. Aruni na Huri wapo nanyi. Kama kuna mtu mwenye malalamiko, acha awaende.”
15 Then Moses went vp to the mount, and the cloude couered the mountaine,
Hivyo Musa akaenda juu ya mlima, na wingu likafunika.
16 And the glorie of the Lord abode vpon mount Sinai, and the cloude couered it sixe dayes: and the seuenth day he called vnto Moses out of the middes of the cloude.
Utukufu wa Yahweh ukabaki juu ya Mlima wa Sinai, na wingu likafunika kwa siku sita. Siku ya saba alimuita Musa kutoka ndani ya wingu.
17 And the sight of the glorie of the Lord was like consuming fire on the top of the moutaine, in the eyes of the children of Israel.
Utukufu wa Yahweh ulikuwa kama moto ulao juu ya mlima kwenye macho ya Waisraeli.
18 And Moses entred into the middes of the cloude, and went vp to the mountaine: and Moses was in the mount fourtie dayes and fourty nightes.
Musa akaingia kwenye wingu na kwenda juu ya mlima. Alikuwa mlimani siku arobaini na usiku arobaini.
