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.
POI disse a Mosè: Sali al Signore, tu, ed Aaronne, e Nadab, e Abihu, e settanta degli Anziani d'Israele, e adorate da lungi.
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.”
Poi accostisi Mosè solo al Signore, e quegli [altri] non [vi] si accostino; e non salga il popolo con lui.
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].”
E Mosè venne, e raccontò al popolo tutte le parole del Signore, e tutte quelle leggi. E tutto il popolo rispose ad una voce, e disse: Noi faremo tutte le cose che il Signore ha dette.
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.
Poi Mosè scrisse tutte le parole del Signore; e, levatosi la mattina, edificò sotto a quel monte un altare, e rizzò dodici pilieri, per le dodici tribù d'Israele.
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.
E mandò i ministri de' figliuoli d'Israele a offerire olocausti, e sacrificare al Signore giovenchi, per sacrificii da render grazie.
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.
E Mosè prese la metà del sangue, e lo mise in bacini; e ne sparse [l'altra] metà sopra l'altare.
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].”
Poi prese il Libro del Patto, e [lo] lesse in presenza del popolo. E esso disse: Noi faremo tutto quello che il Signore ha detto, e ubbidiremo.
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.”
Allora Mosè prese quel sangue, e lo sparse sopra il popolo, e disse: Ecco il sangue del patto che il Signore ha fatto con voi, sopra tutte quelle parole.
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Poi Mosè, ed Aaronne, e Nadab, e Abihu, e settanta degli Anziani d'Israele, salirono.
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].
E videro l'Iddio d'Israele; e sotto i piedi di esso [vi era] come un lavorio di lastre di zaffiro, risomigliante il cielo stesso in chiarezza.
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].
Ed egli non avventò la sua mano sopra gli Eletti d'infra i figliuoli d'Israele; anzi videro Iddio, e mangiarono e bevvero.
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].”
E il Signore disse a Mosè: Sali a me in sul monte, e fermati quivi; ed io ti darò delle tavole di pietra, [cioè: ] la Legge, e i comandamenti che io ho scritti, per insegnarli a' figliuoli d'Israele.
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.
Mosè adunque, con Giosuè, suo ministro, si levò; e Mosè salì al monte di Dio.
E disse agli Anziani d'Israele: Rimanete qui, aspettandoci, finchè noi ritorniamo a voi; ecco, Aaronne ed Hur [sono] con voi; chiunque avrà qualche affare, vada a loro.
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Mosè adunque salì al monte, e la nuvola coperse il monte.
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.
E la gloria del Signore si posò in sul monte di Sinai, e la nuvola lo coperse [per lo spazio di] sei giorni; e al settimo giorno [il Signore] chiamò Mosè del mezzo della nuvola.
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].
E l'aspetto della gloria del Signore [era] simile a un fuoco consumante, in su la sommità del monte, alla vista de' figliuoli d'Israele.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
E Mosè entrò nel mezzo della nuvola, e salì al monte, e dimorò in sul monte quaranta giorni e quaranta notti.
