Exodus 24

1 And He said to Moses, “Come up to YHWH, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy from [the] elderly of Israel, and you have bowed yourselves far off”;

Pea pehē ʻe ia kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu hake koe kia Sihova, ʻa koe mo ʻElone, mo Natapi, mo ʻApiu, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻe toko fitungofulu; pea punou hifo ʻakimoutolu mei he mamaʻo ʻo hū.

2 and Moses has drawn near to YHWH by himself; and they do not draw near, and the people do not go up with him.

Pea ko Mōsese tokotaha pe ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi kia Sihova: kaeʻoua te nau haʻu ʻo ofi; pea ʻoua naʻa ʻalu hake ʻae kakai mo ia.”

3 And Moses comes in, and recounts to the people all the words of YHWH, and all the judgments, and all the people answer [with] one voice, and say, “All the words which YHWH has spoken we do.”

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese ʻo ne tala ki he kakai ʻae ngaahi folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, mo e ngaahi fono kotoa pē; pea tali lea taha pe ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻonau pehē, “Ko e ngaahi lea kotoa pē kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova te mau fai.”

4 And Moses writes all the words of YHWH, and rises early in the morning, and builds an altar under the hill, and twelve standing pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel;

Pea naʻe tohi ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi folofola kotoa pē ʻa Sihova, pea tuʻu hengihengi hake ia ʻi he pongipongi, ʻo ne langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻi he lalo moʻunga, mo e maka ʻe hongofulu ma ua, ʻo fakatatau ki he faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu ma ua ʻo ʻIsileli.

5 and he sends the youths of the sons of Israel, and they cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings to YHWH—calves.

Pea fekau ʻe ia ʻae kau talavou ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, mo e ngaahi feilaulau ʻoe melino, ko e fanga pulu.

6 And Moses takes half of the blood and puts [it] in basins, and he has sprinkled half of the blood on the altar;

Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mōsese hono vaeua mālieʻanga ʻoe toto, ʻo ne lingi ia ki he ngaahi ipu; pea ko hono vahe ʻe taha ʻoe toto naʻa ne luluku ʻaki ʻae feilaulauʻanga.

7 and he takes the Scroll of the Covenant, and proclaims [it] in the ears of the people, and they say, “All that which YHWH has spoken we do, and we obey.”

Pea toʻo ʻe ia ʻae tohi ʻoe fuakava, ʻo ne lau ia ke ongoʻi ʻe he kakai: pea naʻa nau tala, ‘Ko e meʻa kotoa pē kuo folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova te mau fai, pea [te mau ]talangofua.”

8 And Moses takes the blood and sprinkles [it] on the people, and says, “Behold, the blood of the covenant which YHWH has made with you, concerning all these things.”

Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mōsese ʻae toto, ʻo ne luluku ia ki he kakai, ʻo ne pehē, “Vakai, ko e toto ʻoe fuakava, ʻaia kuo fai ʻe Sihova mo kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi folofola ni kotoa pē.”

9 And Moses goes up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from [the] elderly of Israel,

Pea toki ʻalu hake ai ʻa Mōsese, mo ʻElone, mo Natapi, mo ʻApiu, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo ʻIsileli ʻe toko fitungofulu.

10 and they see the God of Israel, and under His feet [is] as the work of a pavement of sapphire, and as the substance of the heavens for purity;

Pea naʻa nau mamata ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae ngāue ʻo hangē ha faliki maka ko e safaia, pea naʻe tatau mo e langi maʻa ʻa hono malama.

11 and He has not put forth His hand to those of the sons of Israel who are near, and they see God, and eat and drink.

Pea naʻe ʻikai hili hono nima ki he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea naʻa nau mamata ki he ʻOtua foki, ʻonau kai mo inu.

12 And YHWH says to Moses, “Come up to Me [on] the mountain and be there, and I give to you the tablets of stone, and the Law, and the command, which I have written to direct them.”

Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu hake koe kiate au ʻi he moʻunga, pea nofo ai: pea te u tuku kiate koe ʻae maka lafalafa ʻe ua, pea mo e fono, mo e ngaahi fekau kuo u tohi; koeʻuhi ke ke ako ʻaki ia.”

13 And Moses rises—his minister Joshua also—and Moses goes up to the mountain of God;

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Mōsese mo hono tauhi ko Siosiua: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Mōsese ki he moʻunga ʻoe ʻOtua.

14 and he has said to the elderly, “Abide for us in this [place] until we return to you, and behold, Aaron and Hur [are] with you—he who has matters comes near to them.”

Pea naʻe tala ʻe ia ki he kau mātuʻa, “Mou tatali ʻi heni kiate kimaua, ke ʻoua ke ma toe ʻomi kiate kimoutolu: pea vakai, ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa ʻElone, mo Hua: kapau ʻe ai ha meʻa ʻi ha tangata ke fai, ke haʻu ia kiate kinaua.”

15 And Moses goes up to the mountain, and the cloud covers the mountain;

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Mōsese ki he moʻunga, pea naʻe ʻuʻufi ʻae moʻunga ʻe he ʻao.

16 and the glory of YHWH dwells on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covers it [for] six days, and He calls to Moses on the seventh day from the midst of the cloud.

Pea naʻe nofo mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, pea naʻe ʻuʻufi ia ʻe he ʻao ʻi he ʻaho ʻe ono: pea naʻe folofola ia kia Mōsese ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho mei he loto ʻao.

17 And the appearance of the glory of YHWH [is] as a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the sons of Israel;

Pea naʻe hā mai ʻae nāunau ʻo Sihova ʻo hangē ko e afi fakaʻauha ʻi he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga, ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

18 and Moses goes into the midst of the cloud, and goes up to the mountain, and Moses is on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻa Mōsese ki he loto ʻao, ʻo ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga: pea naʻe ʻi he moʻunga ʻa Mōsese ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fāngofulu mo e pō ʻe fāngofulu.
