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 I ke kolu o ka malama o ka puka ana mai o na mamo a Iseraela mai loko mai o Aigupita, ia la no, hiki mai la lakou i ka waonakele o Sinai.
A hele mai la lakou, mai Repidima mai, a hiki ma ka waonahele o Sinai, a hoomoana iho la lakou ma ka waonahele; malaila ka Iseraela i hoomoana ai ma kahi e pili ana i ka mauna.
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:
Pii aku la o Mose i ke Akua, a hea mai la o Iehova ia ia mai ka mauna mai, me ka i ana mai, Penei oe e olelo aku ai i na pua a Iakoba, a e hai aku i na mamo a Iseraela;
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].
Ua ike no oukou i na mea a'u i hana'i i ko Aigupita, i ko'u kaikai ana ia oukou ma na eheu o ka aeto, a lawe mai ia oukou io'u nei.
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.
A ina hoolohe io mai oukou i ko'u leo, a malama hoi i ko'u berita, alaila e lilo auanei oukou i waiwai no'u, mamua o na kanaka a pau; no ka mea, no'u no ka honua nei a pau:
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.”
E lilo no hoi oukou i aupuni kahuna pule no'u, a he lahuikanaka laa. Oia hoi na olelo au e hai aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela.
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.
Hele ae la o Mose, a hea aku la i na lunakahiko o kanaka, a hoonoho iho la imua o lakou i keia mau olelo a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
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.
Olelo pu mai la na kanaka a pau, i mai la, O na mea a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai, e hana makou ia mea. Hai aku la o Mose i na olelo a kanaka ia Iehova.
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.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Aia hoi, e hele mai ana au i ou nei maloko o ke ao panopano, i lohe na kanaka i ka'u kamailio ana me oe, a e manaoio mau loa mai ia oe. A hai aku la o Mose i na olelo a kanaka ia Iehova.
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.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E hele oe i kanaka, e hoolaa ia lakou i keia la, a apopo; e holoi hoi lakou i ko lakou kapa.
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.
E hoomakaukau, no ke kolu o ka la, no ka mea, i ke kolu o ka la, e iho mai ai o Iehova, imua o na maka o kanaka a pau, ma ka mauna o Sinai.
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.’
A e kau iho oe i pale, no na kanaka a puni, a e i aku hoi, E malama oukou ia oukou iho, i ko oukou pii ana i ka mauna, a me ka pa ana i kona kihi: o ka mea e pa i ka mauna, he oiaio no e make ia.
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.”
Mai hoopa aku kekahi lima ia mea, no ka mea, he oiaio no, e hailukuia oia, a houia; ina he holoholona, a he kanaka, aole ia e ola: a i kani loihi ka pu, alaila e hele mai lakou i ka mauna.
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.
Iho iho la o Mose ilalo, mai ka mauna iho i kanaka; hoolaa iho la i kanaka; a holoi iho la lakou i ko lakou kapa.
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.”
I aku la ia i kanaka, E hoomakaukau oukou, no ke kolu o ka la; mai komo ae i na wahine.
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 i ke kakahiaka o ke kolu o ka la, he hekili. a he uila, a he ao polohiwa ma ka mauna, a he leo no ka pu e kani ikaika loa ana; haalulu iho la na kanaka a pau ma. ko lakou wihi i hoomoana ai.
17 Then Moses/I led the people outside the camp to meet with God. They stood at the base of the mountain.
Kai mai la o Mose i kanaka mawaho o kahi a lakou e hoomoana ai, e halawai me ke Akua; a ku iho la lakou ma kahi malalo iho o ka mauna.
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.
Ma ka mauna a pau i Sinai, he uwahi, no ka mea, ua iho mai o Iehova maluna ona maloko o ke ahi: a punohu aku la kona uwahi, me he uwahi umu hao la, haalulu nui iho la ka mauna a pau.
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.
A i ke kani loihi loa ana o ka pu, a ikaika nui ae la, olelo aku la o Mose, a pane mai la ka leo o ke Akua ia ia.
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.
Iho mai la o Iehova maluna o ka mauna o Sinai, ma ke poo o ka mauna, a hea mai la o Iehova ia Mose e pii aku i ke poo o ka mauna; a pii aku la o Mose.
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.
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E iho oe ilalo, e kauoha aku i kanaka, o hemo mai lakou io Iehova nei, e nana, a haule lakou he nui loa.
22 Also, the priests who habitually come near me must purify themselves. If they do not do that, I will punish them.”
A e huikala hoi na kahuna ia lakou iho, o ka poe e hookokoke ana ia Iehova, o poha aku o Iehova io lakou la.
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.’”
I aku la o Mose ia Iehova, Aole e hiki na kanaka ke pii mai i ka mauna nei i Sinai: no ka mea, ua kauoha mai oe ia makou, ua i mai, E kau iho i pale a puni ka mauna, a e hookapu ia mea.
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.”
I mai la o Iehova ia ia, O hele, e iho oe ilalo, a e pii hou mai oe, o oe, a me Aarona pu; aka, o na kahuna a me kanaka, mai hemo mai lakou, e pii mai io Iehova nei, o poha aku ia maluna o lakou.
25 So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people [what Yahweh had said].
Iho mai la o Mose ilalo i kanaka, a olelo aku la ia lakou.
