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.
Lalu TUHAN berkata pada Musa, “Naiklah ke gunung Sinai menghadap Aku bersama Harun, Nadab, Abihu, dan tujuh puluh orang dari tua-tua Israel. Selain mereka, tidak ada yang boleh ikut naik. Sesampai di atas, sujudlah kalian menyembah Aku dari jauh. Sesudah itu, datanglah kamu seorang diri mendekat kepada-Ku.”
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.”
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].”
Kemudian Musa menyampaikan kepada bangsa itu segala perintah dan peraturan yang diberikan TUHAN. Seluruh umat dengan satu suara menjawab, “Kami akan melakukan semua yang TUHAN perintahkan.”
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 seluruh perintah TUHAN dalam gulungan kitab. Keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi sekali Musa mendirikan mezbah di kaki gunung dan menegakkan dua belas batu peringatan. Setiap batu mewakili satu 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.
Lalu dia menyuruh beberapa pemuda untuk mempersembahkan kurban yang dibakar habis dan menyembelih sapi-sapi jantan muda sebagai kurban tanda damai 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.
Musa menuangkan separuh dari darah kurban yang disembelih itu ke dalam baskom-baskom dan mencurahkan separuhnya lagi pada mezbah.
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].”
Kemudian dia mengambil Kitab Perjanjian itu dan membacakannya dengan suara keras kepada seluruh umat. Mereka menjawab, “Kami akan melakukan perintah TUHAN. Kami akan menaati-Nya.”
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.”
Lalu Musa mengambil darah yang ada di baskom-baskom tadi dan memercikkannya kepada umat itu sambil berkata, “Berdasarkan semua perintah-Nya itu, darah ini mengesahkan perjanjian yang sudah TUHAN buat denganmu.”
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Sesudah upacara tersebut, Musa, Harun, Nadab, dan Abihu, beserta ketujuh puluh tua-tua Israel naik ke gunung
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].
dan melihat Allah Israel. Di bawah kaki-Nya terlihat sesuatu seperti lantai yang terbuat dari batu permata biru, jernih seperti langit tanpa awan.
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].
Walaupun para pemimpin Israel itu melihat Allah, Dia tidak membinasakan mereka, bahkan mereka makan dan minum di hadapan-Nya sebagai tanda pengikatan perjanjian dengan-Nya.
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].”
Sesudah mereka turun, TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, “Datanglah kepada-Ku di atas gunung ini dan berdiamlah di sini. Aku akan memberimu dua lempengan batu. Di situ Aku sudah menuliskan perintah-perintah-Ku, agar kamu bisa mengajarkannya kepada umat-Ku.”
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.
Maka Musa berangkat bersama tangan kanannya bernama Yosua, dengan berpesan kepada para tua-tua, “Tunggulah di bawah sampai kami kembali. Harun dan Hur ada bersama kalian. Apabila terjadi masalah di antara umat, kalian bisa membawanya kepada Harun dan Hur.” Kemudian naiklah Musa ke atas gunung, dan awan menutupi gunung itu.
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
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 berdiam di atas gunung Sinai. Awan menutupi gunung itu selama enam hari. Pada hari yang ketujuh, TUHAN memanggil Musa dari dalam awan.
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].
Dari pandangan umat Israel yang berada di kaki gunung, kemuliaan TUHAN di atas gunung terlihat seperti api yang berkobar-kobar.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
Lalu Musa mendaki lebih tinggi dan masuk ke dalam awan itu. Dia tinggal di atas gunung selama empat puluh hari empat puluh malam.
