Exodus 24
1 And unto Moses he said, Come up unto the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and ye shall bow yourselves down afar off.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Bwera ku phiri kuno kwa Yehova, iwe pamodzi ndi Aaroni, Nadabu, Abihu ndi akuluakulu a Israeli makumi asanu ndi awiri. Enanu mundipembedze muli chapatali.
2 And Moses alone shall come near unto the Lord, but they shall not come nigh; and the people shall not go up with him.
Koma Mose yekha ayandikire Yehova, ndipo enawo asayandikire. Komanso anthu ena onse asakwere nawe ku phiri kuno.”
3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the laws of justice; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, all the words which the Lord hath spoken will we do.
Tsono Mose anapita kukawuza anthu mawu onse a Yehova ndi malamulo onse, ndipo anthu onse anayankha mogwirizana kuti, “Tidzachita zonse zimene Yehova wanena.”
4 And Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord, and he rose up early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
Ndipo Mose analemba zonse zimene Yehova ananena. Mmawa mwake Mose anadzuka nayamba kumanga guwa lansembe mʼmunsi mwa phirilo ndipo anayimika miyala khumi ndi iwiri ngati zipilala kuyimira mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli.
5 And he then sent the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered burnt-offerings, and sacrificed peace-offerings unto the Lord, of oxen.
Kenaka Mose anatuma Aisraeli achinyamata kuti aphe ndi kukapereka kwa Yehova nsembe zopsereza zachiyanjano.
6 And Moses took the half of the blood, and put it in basins; and the [other] half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
Mose anatenga theka la magazi ndi kuyika mʼmbale, ndipo theka linalo analiwaza pa guwa lansembe.
7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the hearing of the people; and they said, all that the Lord hath spoken will we do and obey.
Anatenganso Buku la Chipangano ndi kuwerengera anthu. Anthuwo anayankha kuti, “Zonse zimene Yehova wanena tamva, ndipo tidzazichita.”
8 And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.
Kenaka Mose anatenga magazi, nawaza anthuwo ndipo anati, “Awa ndi magazi a pangano limene Yehova wapanga ndi inu molingana ndi mawu ake onsewa.”
9 Then went up Moses, with Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel.
Kenaka Mose pamodzi ndi Aaroni, Nadabu, Abihu ndi akuluakulu makumi asanu ndi awiri a Israeli aja anakwera ku phiri,
10 And they saw the God of Israel; and the place under his feet was like a paved work of brilliant sapphire, and like the color of heaven in clearness.
ndipo anaona Mulungu wa Israeli. Pansi pa mapazi ake panali njira yoyendamo yopangidwa ndi mwala wa safiro woyalidwa bwino wa maonekedwe owala ngati thambo.
11 And against the nobles of the children of Israel he stretched not forth his hand; and they saw [the glory of] God, and did eat and drink.
Ngakhale anaona Yehova koma sanafe, mʼmalo mwake anadya ndi kumwa.
12 And the Lord said unto Moses, come up to me to the mount, and remain there: and I will give thee the tables of stone, with the law, and the commandment which I have written, to teach them.
Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Bwera kwa ine ku phiri kuno, ndipo udikire konkuno. Ndidzakupatsa miyala imene ndalembapo malemba kuti ndiwaphunzitse.”
13 And Moses rose up, and his servant Joshua; and Moses went up to the mount of God.
Ndipo anayamba ulendo wopita ku phiri la Mulungu pamodzi ndi womuthandiza wake Yoswa.
14 And unto the elders he said, Tarry ye for us here, until the time we come again unto you; and, behold, Aaron and Chur are with you, whoever may have any cause to be decided, let him come unto them.
Apa nʼkuti Mose atawawuza akuluakulu aja kuti, “Mudikire pano mpaka titabweranso. Aaroni ndi Huri ali nanu, aliyense amene ali ndi milandu apite kwa iwo.”
15 And Moses went up to the mount, and the cloud covered the mount.
Mose atakwera ku phiri kuja mtambo unaphimba phirilo.
16 And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and he called unto Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud.
Ulemerero wa Yehova unakhala pa phiri la Sinai, ndipo mtambo unaphimba phirilo kwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi. Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri Yehova anayitana Mose kuchokera mu mtambowo.
17 And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mount, before the eyes of the children of Israel.
Ulemerero wa Yehova uja unkaoneka ngati malawi a moto pamwamba pa phirilo.
18 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and ascended the mount; and Moses was on the mount forty days and forty nights.
Ndipo Mose analowa mʼmitambo nakwera phiri. Iye anakhala ku phiriko 40 usana ndi usiku.
