Exodus 19
1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
Tamin’ ny volana fahatelo taorian’ ny nialan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny tany Egypta, dia tamin’ izany andro izany no nahatongavany tany an-efitr’ i Sinay.
2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
Ary rehefa nifindra niala teo Refidima izy ka tonga tany amin’ ny efitr’ i Sinay, dia nitoby teo amin’ ny efitra; dia tandrifin’ ny tendrombohitra no nitobian’ ny Isiraely teo.
3 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
Ary Mosesy niakatra ho ao amin’ Andriamanitra, dia niantso azy Jehovah tao an-tendrombohitra ka nanao hoe: Izao no holazainao amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba sy hambaranao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely:
4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
Hianareo efa nahita izay nataoko tamin’ ny Egyptiana sy izay nitondrako anareo tamin’ ny elatry ny voromahery ary ny nampankanesako anareo ho atỳ amiko.
5 Now therefore, if you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
Koa ankehitriny, raha hihaino ny feoko tokoa ianareo ka hitandrina ny fanekeko, dia ho rakitra soa ho Ahy mihoatra noho ny firenena rehetra ianareo; fa Ahy ny tany rehetra.
6 And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.
Dia ho fanjaka-mpisorona sy ho firenena masìna ho Ahy ianareo. Ireo teny ireo no holazainao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
Dia nandeha Mosesy ka nampaka ny loholon’ ny vahoaka, dia nalahany teo anatrehany ireo teny rehetra ireo, izay nandidian’ i Jehovah azy.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD has spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people to the LORD.
Dia namaly indray miredona ny olona rehetra ka nanao hoe: Izay teny rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah dia hataonay. Ary dia nentin’ i Mosesy tao amin’ i Jehovah kosa ny tenin’ ny olona.
9 And the LORD said to Moses, See, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro Aho mankeo aminao ao anatin’ ny rahona maizina, mba ho ren’ ny olona raha miteny aminao Aho, ka dia hino anao mandrakariva izy. Dia nambaran’ i Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ny olona.
10 And the LORD said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandehana ho eny amin’ ny olona, ka manamasìna azy anio sy ampitso, ary ampanasao ny fitafiany izy:
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people on mount Sinai.
ary aoka samy hiomana ho amin’ ny andro fahatelo izy; fa amin’ ny andro fahatelo no hidinan’ i Jehovah ho eo imason’ ny olona rehetra eo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Sinay.
12 And you shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that you go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whoever touches the mount shall be surely put to death:
Dia hanisy fefy manodidina ho an’ ny olona ianao ka hanao hoe: Mitandrema ianareo mba tsy hiakatra ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra, na hikasika ny sisiny akory aza; fa na iza na iza mikasika ny tendrombohitra dia hatao maty tokoa;
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mount.
tsy hisy tanana hikasika azy, fa hotoraham-bato tokoa izy, na hotifirina tokoa, na biby na olona, tsy mba hovelomina izy; fa raha manao feo lavareny ny anjomara, dia vao hiakatra ho ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra izy.
14 And Moses went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
Dia nidina avy tao amin’ ny tendrombohitra Mosesy ka nankeny amin’ ny olona; dia nanamasina ny olona izy, ka samy nanasa ny fitafiany.
15 And he said to the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny olona: Miomàna ianareo ho amin’ ny andro fahatelo; aza manakaiky vehivavy akory.
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightning, and a thick cloud on the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
Ary nony tamin’ ny marain’ ny andro fahatelo dia nisy kotrokorana sy helatra ary rahona matevina teo amin’ ny tendrombohitra, ary nisy feon’ anjomara mafy indrindra, dia toran-kovitra ny olona rehetra izay teo an-toby.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
Ary Mosesy nitondra ny olona nivoaka avy teo an-toby mba hihaona amin’ Andriamanitra; dia nijanona teo am-bodin’ ny tendrombohitra izy.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
Ary ny tendrombohitra Sinay nivoa-tsetroka avokoa, satria Jehovah nidina teo amboniny tao anaty afo; dia niakatra ny setroka tahaka ny setroky ny lafaoro lehibe, ary nihorohoro mafy ny tendrombohitra Sinay rehetra.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
Ary rehefa notsofina ny anjomara ka nidradradradra, dia niteny Mosesy, ary Andriamanitra namaly feo azy.
20 And the LORD came down on mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
Ary Jehovah nidina nankeo an-tendrombohitra Sinay, dia teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra; ary Jehovah niantso an’ i Mosesy hankeo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra; dia niakatra Mosesy.
21 And the LORD said to Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Midìna, ka pepero ny olona, fandrao hisisika hankao amin’ i Jehovah izy mba hijery ka hahafatesana maro.
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth on them.
Ary aoka ny mpisorona koa, izay manakaiky an’ i Jehovah, hanamasina ny tenany, fandrao himaona hamely azy Jehovah.
23 And Moses said to the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for you charged us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah: Tsy mahazo miakatra ho eto amin’ ny tendrombohitra Sinay ny olona; fa Hianao nandidy anay ka nanao hoe: Fefeo ny tendrombohitra, ka hamasino izy.
24 And the LORD said to him, Away, get you down, and you shall come up, you, and Aaron with you: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break forth on them.
Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Mandehana midìna, nefa miakara ianao, ka ento hiaraka aminao Arona; fa ny mpisorona sy ny olona dia aza avela hisisika hiakatra ho ao amin’ i Jehovah, fandrao haringana izy.
25 So Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
Ary Mosesy dia nidina nankeny amin’ ny olona ka niteny taminy.
