< 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.
Iti maikatlo a bulan kalpasan a pimmanaw dagiti tattao ti Israel iti daga ti Egipto, iti isu met laeng nga aldaw, dimmanonda iti let-ang ti Sinai.
Kalpasan a pimmanawda idiay Refidim ken dimmanonda iti let-ang ti Sinai, nagkampoda iti let-ang iti sangoanan ti bantay.
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:
Simmang-at ni Moises iti ayan ti Dios. Immawag ni Yahweh kenkuana manipud iti bantay ket kinunana, “Masapul nga ibagam iti balay ni Jacob, kadagiti tattao ti Israel:
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].
Nakitayo ti inaramidko kadagiti Egipcio, no kasano ti panangawitko kadakayo babaen kadagiti payyak ti agila ket inyegkayo iti ayanko.
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.
Ita ngarud, no situtulnogkayo a dumngeg iti timekko ken salimetmetanyo ti katulagak, ket agbalinkayonto a naisangsangayan a sanikuak manipud kadagiti amin a tattao, ta kukuak ti entero a daga.
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.”
Agbalinkayonto a pagarian dagiti papadi ken nasantoan a nasion a maipaay kaniak. Dagitoy dagiti sasao a masapul nga ibagam kadagiti tattao ti Israel.”
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.
Napan ngarud ni Moises ket pinaayabanna dagiti panglakayen dagiti tattao. Indatagna kadakuada dagitoy amin a sasao nga imbilin ni Yahweh kenkuana.
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.
Sangsangkamaysa a simmungbat dagiti tattao ket kinunada, “Aramidenmi amin nga imbaga ni Yahweh.” Kalpasanna, napan ni Moises a mangipadamag kenni Yahweh iti imbaga dagiti tattao.
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.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Umayakto kenka babaen iti napuskol nga ulep tapno mangngeg dagiti tattao inton makisaritaak kenka ket mamatida met kenka iti agnanayon.” Ket imbaga ni Moises kenni Yahweh dagiti sasao dagiti tattao.
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.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Mapanka iti ayan dagiti tattao. Masapul nga ilasinmo ida para kaniak ita ken inton bigat, ken ipalabam kadakuada dagiti lupotda.
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.
Agsaganakayo para iti maikatlo nga aldaw, ta iti maikatlo nga aldaw, Siak, ni Yahweh, ket bumabanto iti Bantay 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.’
Masapul a mangikabilka iti beddeng iti aglawlaw ti bantay para kadagiti tattao. Ibagam kadakuada, 'Aluadanyo a saankayo a sumangsang-at iti bantay wenno sagiden ti beddengna. Siasinoman a mangsagid iti bantay ket sigurado a mapapatay.'
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.”
Masapul nga awan ti aniaman nga ima a mangsagid iti dayta a tao. Ngem ketdi, masapul a batoen wenno panaen isuna. Tao man dayta wenno ayup, masapul isuna a mapapatay. Inton aguni ti trumpeta iti nabayag ken napigsa, mabalindan nga umay iti sakaanan ti bantay.”
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.
Ket simmalog ni Moises iti ayan dagiti tattao manipud iti bantay. Inlasinna dagiti tattao para kenni Yahweh, ken linabaanda dagiti lupotda.
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.”
Kinunana kadagiti tattao, “Agsaganakayo iti maikatlo nga aldaw; saankayo a dumenna kadagiti assawayo a babbai.”
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].
Iti bigat iti maikatlo nga aldaw, adda gurruod ken kimat ken adda napuskol nga ulep iti bantay, ken adda napigsa unay nga uni ti trumpeta. Nagpigerger dagiti amin a tattao iti kampo.
17 Then Moses/I led the people outside the camp to meet with God. They stood at the base of the mountain.
Pinaruar ni Moises dagiti tattao manipud iti kampo tapno sabtenda ti Dios, ket nagtakderda iti sakaanan ti bantay.
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.
Naabbongan ti entero a Bantay Sinai iti asuk gapu ta bimmaba ni Yahweh iti daytoy babaen iti apuy ken asuk. Nagpangato ti asuk a kasla asuk ti orno, ken naggun-gon iti napalalo ti entero a bantay.
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.
Idi pumigpigsa ti uni ti trumpeta, nagsao ni Moises ket sinungbatan isuna ti Dios babaen iti timek.
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.
Bimmaba ni Yahweh iti Bantay Sinai, iti tapaw ti bantay, ket pinasang-atna ni Moises iti tapaw. Simmang-at ngarud ni Moises.
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.
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Sumalogka ket ballaagam dagiti tattao a saanda a lumabes kadagiti beddeng nga umay mangkita kaniak, ta no saan adu ti matay kadakuada.
22 Also, the priests who habitually come near me must purify themselves. If they do not do that, I will punish them.”
Ibagam met kadagiti papadi nga umasideg kaniak a dalusanda dagiti bagbagida-isaganada dagiti bagbagida iti iyuumayko tapno saanko ida a dangran.”
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.’”
Kinuna ni Moises kenni Yahweh, “Saan a mabalin a sumang-at dagiti tattao iti bantay, ta imbilinmo kadakami, 'Mangikabilka iti beddeng iti aglawlaw ti bantay ket ilasinmo a para kenni Yahweh.'”
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.”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, “Mapanka, bumabaka iti bantay, ket ikuyogmo ditoy ni Aaron, ngem saanmo nga ipalubos a lumabes iti beddeng dagiti papadi ken dagiti tattao nga umay kaniak, ta no saan dangrak ida.”
25 So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people [what Yahweh had said].
Simmalog ngarud ni Moises iti ayan dagiti tattao ket kinasaritana ida.
