Exodus 19
1 The Israeli people then left Rephidim, and exactly two months after leaving Egypt, they/we came to the desert near Sinai [Mountain]. They/We set up their/our tents at the base of the mountain.
A rana ta farko a cikin watan uku bayan da Isra’ilawa suka bar Masar, a wannan rana, suka iso Hamadar Sinai.
Bayan da suka tashi daga Refidim, suka shiga Hamadar Sinai, sai Isra’ilawa suka yi sansani a gaban dutsen.
3 Moses/I climbed up the mountain [to talk with] God. Yahweh called to [him/me] from [the top of] the mountain and said, “This is what I want you to say to the Israeli people, the descendants of Jacob:
Sai Musa ya hau kan dutsen don yă sadu da Allah, Ubangiji kuwa ya kira shi daga dutsen ya ce, “Wannan shi ne abin da za ka faɗa wa gidan Yaƙub, da kuma abin da za ka faɗa wa mutanen Isra’ila.
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You have seen [what I did for all of you] and how I brought you here to me. It was as though I [lifted you up as] an eagle [carries its young eaglets] on its wings [MET].
‘Ku da kanku kun ga abin da na yi wa Masar, da yadda na ɗauko ku a kan fikafikan gaggafa na kawo ku wurina.
5 So now, if you will do what I tell you and obey all that I command you, you will be my own people. All the people-groups on the earth are mine, but you will be (dearer/more special) to me than all the other people-groups.
Yanzu, in kuka yi mini cikakken biyayya, kuka kuma kiyaye yarjejjeniyata, to, za ku zama keɓeɓɓiyar taska a gare ni a cikin dukan al’ummai. Ko da yake duk duniya tawa ce,
6 You will be people over whom I will rule, and you will all (be like priests/represent me to other nations as priests represent me to one nation) [MET], and you will be completely dedicated to me.’ That is what you must tell the Israeli people.”
za ku zama firistoci masu tsarki da kuma al’umma keɓaɓɓiya a gare ni.’ Waɗannan su ne kalmomin da za ka faɗa wa Isra’ilawa.”
7 So Moses/I went [down the mountain] and summoned the elders/leaders of the people. He/I told them everything that Yahweh had told him/me to tell them.
Sai Musa ya koma ya aika a kira dukan dattawan mutane, ya bayyana dukan kalmomin da Ubangiji ya umarta, ya faɗa.
8 The people all said, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us to do.” Then Moses/I [climbed back up the mountain and] reported to Yahweh what the people had said.
Dukan mutane suka amsa gaba ɗaya suka ce, “Za mu yi duk abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa.” Sai Musa ya mayar wa Ubangiji amsar da mutane suka bayar.
9 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[Listen carefully]: I am going to appear to you from inside a thick cloud. When I am speaking to you, the people will hear it, and they will always trust in you.” Then Moses/I went [down the mountain and reported to the people what Yahweh said. Then he/I went back up the mountain and] told Yahweh what the people replied.
Ubangiji kuwa ya ce wa Musa, “Ina zuwa wurinka a cikin baƙin hadari, domin mutane su ji ni ina maganar da kai, domin su amince da kai koyaushe.” Sa’an nan Musa ya faɗa wa Ubangiji abin da mutane suka ce.
10 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go [back down] to the people [again]. [Tell them to] purify themselves today and tomorrow. [Tell them to] wash their clothes, too.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Musa, “Tafi wurin mutanen, ka tsarkake su yau da gobe, ka sa su wanke tufafinsu.
11 They must do that to be ready on the day after tomorrow. On that day I will come down to Sinai Mountain to where all the people can see me.
Su zama da shiri a rana ta uku, gama a ranar ce Ubangiji zai sauko a kan Dutsen Sinai a idon dukan mutane.
12 You must make a boundary around the base of the mountain, and tell them, ‘Be sure that you do not climb the mountain or even go near it. Anyone who even touches the base of the mountain must be executed.’
Sai ka yi wa jama’a iyaka kewaye da dutsen, ka kuma faɗa musu cewa, ‘Ku mai da hankali, kada ku hau dutsen ko ku taɓa gefensa. Duk wanda ya taɓa dutsen, lalle za a kashe shi.
13 Do not let anyone touch any person or any animal that touches the mountain. You must [kill any person or animal that touches the mountain] by throwing stones at it or shooting it [with arrows]. But when you hear a long [loud] trumpet sound, the people can come close to the [base of the] mountain.”
Za a jajjefe shi da duwatsu, ko a harbe shi da kibiyoyi, ba hannun da zai taɓa shi. Mutum ko dabbar da ya taɓa, ba za a bar shi da rai ba.’ Lokacin da aka ji muryar ƙaho ne kawai za su iya taru a gindin dutsen.”
14 So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people to purify themselves. They did what Moses/I told them to do, and they also washed their clothes.
Bayan da Musa ya gangara wurin mutane, ya tsarkake su, sai suka wanke tufafinsu.
15 Then Moses/I said to the people, “Be ready on the day after tomorrow. And [you men] must not have sex with [EUP] [your wives] until after then.”
Sa’an nan ya ce wa mutane, “Ku shirya kanku domin rana ta uku. Ku ƙame kanku daga yin jima’i.”
16 Two days later, during the morning, there was thunder and lightning, and a very dark cloud on the mountain. A trumpet sounded very loudly, with the result that the people in the camp shook/trembled because they [were very afraid].
A safiyar rana ta uku, aka yi tsawa, da walƙiyoyi, sai ga girgije mai duhu a bisa dutsen, aka tsananta busar ƙaho, sai dukan jama’ar da suke cikin sansani suka yi rawar jiki.
17 Then Moses/I led the people outside the camp to meet with God. They stood at the base of the mountain.
Sa’an nan Musa ya jagoranci mutane daga sansani domin su sadu da Allah, sai suka tsaya a gefen dutsen.
18 All of Sinai Mountain was covered in smoke, because Yahweh had descended on it, surrounded by a fire. The smoke rose up like the smoke from [the chimney of] a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.
Dutsen Sinai kuwa ya tunnuƙe duka da hayaƙi, gama Ubangiji ya sauko a bisan dutsen cikin wuta. Hayaƙin ya hau kamar hayaƙin da yake fitowa daga matoya, duk dutsen ya yi rawa da ƙarfi,
19 As the sound of the trumpet continued to become louder, Moses/I spoke [to Yahweh], and Yahweh answered [him/me] in [a loud voice that sounded like] thunder.
sai karar ƙaho ya yi ta ƙaruwa. Sa’an nan Musa ya yi magana, murya Allah kuwa ta amsa masa.
20 Then Yahweh came down [again] onto the top of Sinai Mountain, and he summoned Moses/me to come up to the top of the mountain. So Moses/I went up.
Ubangiji ya sauko a kan ƙwanƙolin Dutsen Sinai, ya kira Musa zuwa ƙwanƙolin dutsen. Musa kuwa ya haura
21 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go down again and warn the people not to cross the boundary in order to look [at me]. If they [do] that, many of them will die.
sai Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Ka sauka ka faɗa wa jama’a, kada su kuskura su ƙetare layin iyakan nan, garin son zuwa don ganin Ubangiji, gama duk waɗanda suka yi haka za su mutu.
22 Also, the priests who habitually come near me must purify themselves. If they do not do that, I will punish them.”
Ko firistocin da za su kusato Ubangiji sai su tsarkake kansu, don kada in hallaka su.”
23 Then Moses/I said to Yahweh, “The people will not climb the mountain, because you commanded them, saying, ‘Set a boundary around the mountain, to make it sacred/taboo.’”
Musa ya ce wa Ubangiji, “Mutanen ba za su hau Dutsen Sinai ba, gama kai da kanka ka gargaɗe mu, ‘Ku sa iyaka kewaye da dutsen ku kuma tsarkake shi.’”
24 Yahweh replied, “Go down the mountain, and bring Aaron back up with you. But do not allow the priests or other people to cross the boundary to come up to me. If they cross it, I will punish them.”
Ubangiji ya amsa, “Sauka ka kawo Haruna tare da kai. Amma kada firistoci da mutane su zarce iyakan nan, a kan za su zo wurin Ubangiji, don kada in hallaka su.”
25 So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people [what Yahweh had said].
Saboda haka Musa ya sauka wurin mutane ya kuma faɗa musu.
