Exodus 24
1 And unto Moses, he said—Come up unto Yahweh—thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, so shall ye bow yourselves down from afar.
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kplɔ Aron, Nadab kple Abihu kple Israel ƒe ametsitsi blaadre, eye mialia to la. Ame mamlɛawo anɔ adzɔge, eye woasubɔm.
2 And Moses alone shall draw near unto Yahweh, but, they shall not draw near, and, the people, shall not come up with him.
Wò, Mose, koe ate ɖe ŋunye. Ɖo ŋku edzi be Israelvi bubuawo mekpɔ mɔ alia to la kura o.”
3 So Moses came, and recounted to the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the regulations, and all the people responded with one voice and said, All the words which Yahweh hath spoken, will we do.
Mose ɖe gbeƒã se kple ɖoɖo siwo katã Yehowa de asi nɛ la na dukɔ la. Ameawo katã ɖo eŋu kple gbe ɖeka be, “Míawɔ seawo katã dzi.”
4 Then wrote Moses all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar, under the mountain, and twelve pillars, for the twelve tribes of Israel:
Mose ŋlɔ Yehowa ƒe seawo katã da ɖi. Esi ŋu ke ŋdi kanya la, etu vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe to la te, eye wòɖo dzesidekpe wuieve ƒo xlã vɔsamlekpui la, elabena to wuievee wɔ Israel dukɔ la.
5 and he sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they caused to go up, ascending-sacrifices, —and slew peace-offerings to Yahweh, of oxen.
Le esia megbe la, eɖo Israelvi ɖekakpui aɖewo ɖa be woasa numevɔsa eye woatsɔ nyitsuwo awɔ akpedavɔsa na Yehowa.
6 Then took Moses half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood, dashed he over the altar:
Mose kɔ vɔsalã siawo ƒe ʋu ƒe afã ɖe zewo me, eye wòhlẽ afã mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu.
7 then took he the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people. And they said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do, and will hearken,
Mose tsɔ agbalẽ si me nublanyawo le eye wòxlẽe na ameawo, eye ameawo gagblɔ be, “Míawɔ nu sia nu si Yehowa gblɔ na mi la, eye míalé eme ɖe asi.”
8 Then Moses took the blood, and dashed over the people, and said, Lo! the blood of the covenant which Yahweh hath solemnised with you, over all these words.
Mose ku lãwo ƒe ʋu tso zeawo me hlẽ ɖe ameawo dome hegblɔ be, “Ʋu sia ɖo kpe nubabla si Yehowa wɔ kpli mí to Se siawo nana mí me la dzi, eye wòtre nubabla la nu.”
9 Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;
Le esia megbe la, Mose, Aron, Nadab, Abihu kple Israel ƒe ametsitsi blaadreawo lia to la.
10 and they saw the God of Israel, —and under his feet, like a pavement of sapphire, and like the very heavens for brightness; and
Wokpɔ Israel ƒe Mawu la. Teƒe si wòtsi tsitre ɖo la dze abe safirkpe keklẽ siwo me kɔ abe dziŋgɔli me la ene.
11 against the nobles of the sons of Israel, put he not forth his hand, —so then they had vision of God, and did eat and drink,
Togbɔ be Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo kpɔ Mawu hã la, metsrɔ̃ wo o. Emegbe la, woɖu nu kple wo nɔewo le eŋkume.
12 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Come thou up unto me in the mountain and remain thou there, —for I must give thee tables of stone and the law and the commandment, which I have written to direct them.
Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Va gbɔnye le to la dzi, eye nànɔ afi ma va se ɖe esime matsɔ Se siwo meŋlɔ ɖe kpewo dzi la ana wò, ale be nàte ŋu akpɔ wo dzi, afia seawo dukɔ la.”
13 And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up into the mountain of God;
Ale Mose kple eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Yosua lia Mawu ƒe to la.
14 but, unto the elders, he said—Tarry for us here, until we return unto you. And lo! Aaron and Hur, are with you, he that hath a cause, let him draw near unto them.
Mose gblɔ na ametsitsiawo be, “Minɔ afi sia, eye mialala mí va se ɖe esime míatrɔ agbɔ. Ne nya sesẽ aɖe ado ta ɖa la, ekema mitsɔ nya la ɖo Aron kple Hur ŋkume.”
15 So then Moses wont up into the mountain, —and the cloud covered the mountain.
Mose lia to la, eye wòbu ɖe lilikpowo me le to la tame.
16 And the glory of Yahweh rested upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days, —then called he unto Moses on the seventh day, out of the midst of the cloud.
Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dze ɖe Sinai to la dzi, eye lilikpo la tsyɔ to la dzi ŋkeke ade. Le ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, Yehowa yɔ Mose tso lilikpo la me.
17 And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, —in the sight of the sons of Israel.
Israelvi siwo nɔ to la te la kpɔ nu dziŋɔ sia teƒe. Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dze na wo le toa tame abe dzo bibi ene.
18 And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and ascended into the mountain. And it came to pass that Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Mose bu ɖe lilikpo si tsyɔ to la tame la me, eye wònɔ afi ma ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene.
