Exodus 24
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come to me, up [on top of this mountain], you and Aaron and [his sons] Nadab and Abihu. Also [take along] 70 of the Israeli elders/leaders. While you are still some distance [from the top of the mountain], prostrate yourselves [on the ground] and worship me.
Berfirmanlah Ia kepada Musa: "Naiklah menghadap TUHAN, engkau dan Harun, Nadab dan Abihu dan tujuh puluh orang dari para tua-tua Israel dan sujudlah kamu menyembah dari jauh.
2 Moses, [I will allow] you alone to come near to me. The others must not come near, and the [rest of the] people must not come up the mountain.”
Hanya Musa sendirilah yang mendekat kepada TUHAN, tetapi mereka itu tidak boleh mendekat, dan bangsa itu tidak boleh naik bersama-sama dengan dia."
3 Moses/I went and told the people everything that Yahweh had said and all that he had commanded. The people all replied together, saying, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us [to do].”
Lalu datanglah Musa dan memberitahukan kepada bangsa itu segala firman TUHAN dan segala peraturan itu, maka seluruh bangsa itu menjawab serentak: "Segala firman yang telah diucapkan TUHAN itu, akan kami lakukan."
4 Then Moses/I wrote down everything that Yahweh had commanded. Early the next morning Moses/I built a [stone] altar. He/I also set up twelve stones, one for each of the Israeli tribes.
Lalu Musa menuliskan segala firman TUHAN itu. Keesokan harinya pagi-pagi didirikannyalah mezbah di kaki gunung itu, dengan dua belas tugu sesuai dengan kedua belas suku Israel.
5 He/I also selected some young men. They burned sacrifices to Yahweh and they also sacrificed some cattle [that they did not burn completely], for the purpose of maintaining fellowship with Yahweh.
Kemudian disuruhnyalah orang-orang muda dari bangsa Israel, maka mereka mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan menyembelih lembu-lembu jantan sebagai korban keselamatan kepada TUHAN.
6 Moses/I took half of the blood of the animals that were slaughtered and put it in bowls. The other half of the blood [he/I] threw/splashed against the altar.
Sesudah itu Musa mengambil sebagian dari darah itu, lalu ditaruhnya ke dalam pasu, sebagian lagi dari darah itu disiramkannya pada mezbah itu.
7 Then he/I took the scroll on which he/I had written [everything that Yahweh had commanded in] the agreement that he had made, and he/I read it [aloud], while all the people were listening. Then all the people said, “We will do all that Yahweh has told us to do. We will obey [everything].”
Diambilnyalah kitab perjanjian itu, lalu dibacakannya dengan didengar oleh bangsa itu dan mereka berkata: "Segala firman TUHAN akan kami lakukan dan akan kami dengarkan."
8 Then Moses/I took the blood [that was in the bowls] and threw/splashed it on the people. He/I said, “This is the blood [that (confirms/puts into effect)] the agreement that Yahweh made with you when he gave you all these commands.”
Kemudian Musa mengambil darah itu dan menyiramkannya pada bangsa itu serta berkata: "Inilah darah perjanjian yang diadakan TUHAN dengan kamu, berdasarkan segala firman ini."
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Dan naiklah Musa dengan Harun, Nadab dan Abihu dan tujuh puluh orang dari para tua-tua Israel.
10 and they/we saw God, the one whom the Israeli people worship. Under his feet was something like a pavement [made of expensive blue stones called] sapphires. They were as clear as the sky is [when there are no clouds].
Lalu mereka melihat Allah Israel; kaki-Nya berjejak pada sesuatu yang buatannya seperti lantai dari batu nilam dan yang terangnya seperti langit yang cerah.
11 God did not harm [MTY] those Israeli elders/leaders [because of their having seen him]. They saw God, and they ate and drank together! [Then we all went back down the mountain].
Tetapi kepada pemuka-pemuka orang Israel itu tidaklah diulurkan-Nya tangan-Nya; mereka memandang Allah, lalu makan dan minum.
12 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come up to me [again] on [top of this] mountain. While you are here, I will give you [two] stone slabs on which I have written all the laws [DOU] that I have given to you to instruct/teach [the people].”
TUHAN berfirman kepada Musa: "Naiklah menghadap Aku, ke atas gunung, dan tinggallah di sana, maka Aku akan memberikan kepadamu loh batu, yakni hukum dan perintah, yang telah Kutuliskan untuk diajarkan kepada mereka."
13 So Moses/I told the elders, “Stay here [with the other people] until we return! Do not forget that Aaron and Hur will be with you. So if anyone has a dispute [while I am gone], he can go to those two men.” Then Moses/I went with his/my servant Joshua [part of the way] up the mountain that [was dedicated to] God.
Lalu bangunlah Musa dengan Yosua, abdinya, maka naiklah Musa ke atas gunung Allah itu.
Tetapi kepada para tua-tua itu ia berkata: "Tinggallah di sini menunggu kami, sampai kami kembali lagi kepadamu; bukankah Harun dan Hur ada bersama-sama dengan kamu, siapa yang ada perkaranya datanglah kepada mereka."
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Maka Musa mendaki gunung dan awan itu menutupinya.
16 The (glory/brilliant light) of Yahweh came down on the mountain and covered it for six days. On the seventh day, Yahweh called to Moses/me from the middle of the cloud.
Kemuliaan TUHAN diam di atas gunung Sinai, dan awan itu menutupinya enam hari lamanya; pada hari ketujuh dipanggil-Nyalah Musa dari tengah-tengah awan itu.
17 When the Israeli people [looked at] the top of the mountain, the glory of Yahweh was like a big fire that was burning [there].
Tampaknya kemuliaan TUHAN sebagai api yang menghanguskan di puncak gunung itu pada pemandangan orang Israel.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
Masuklah Musa ke tengah-tengah awan itu dengan mendaki gunung itu. Lalu tinggallah ia di atas gunung itu empat puluh hari dan empat puluh malam lamanya.
