< 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.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Kom ac Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, ac itngoul sin mwet kol lun Israel, fanyak fineol uh nu yuruk, ac ke kowos srakna fahsr loes, kowos in pasrla ac alu.
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.”
Moses, kom mukena in tuku apkuran nu yuruk, ac mwet wi kom ingan in tia tuku apkuran nu yuruk. Ac mwet Israel nukewa saya in tiana fanyak nu fineol uh.”
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].”
Moses el som ac fahkang nu sin mwet uh ma sap nukewa lun LEUM GOD ac kas lal nukewa, ac mwet nukewa tukeni topuk, “Kut ac fah oru ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El fahk.”
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.
Moses el simusla ma sap nukewa lun LEUM GOD. Toangna in lotu tok ah, el etoak sie loang pe eol uh ac tulokunak eot singoul luo, kais sie nu ke sruf singoul luo lun 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.
Na el supwala kutu mukul fusr, ac elos esukak mwe kisa firir nu sin LEUM GOD, ac kisakunla kutu cow tuh in mwe kisa in akinsewowo.
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.
Moses el eisla tafu srahn cow ac sang nu in kutu pesin; ac tafu el sang osralik loang uh.
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].”
Na el eis ma simusla ke wuleang lun LEUM GOD, ac riti nu sin mwet uh ke pusra lulap. Elos fahk, “Kut fah akos LEUM GOD ac oru ma nukewa ma El sapkin.”
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.”
Na Moses el eis srah in pesin uh ac osrela mwet uh kac. El fahk, “Pa inge srah su akkeyala wuleang su LEUM GOD El orala yuruwos ke El sot ma sap inge nukewa.”
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu ac mwet kol itngoul lun mwet Israel, elos fanyak nu fineol uh
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].
ac elos liye God lun Israel. Ye nial oasr sie ma fwel ac tupasrpasr su oana in orekla ke eot sapphire, arulana kalem ac folfol oana acn inkusrao.
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].
Mwet kol inge ne liye God, a wangin ma upa El oru nu selos. Elos tukeni mongo ac nim.
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].”
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Fanyak nu fineol uh nu yuruk, ac pacl se kom muta inge, nga ac sot luo eot tupasrpasr, su ma sap nukewa simla fac. Nga simusla ma inge tuh in mwe luti nu sin mwet uh.”
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.
Moses ac Joshua, mwet kasru lal, eltal akola, ac Moses el mutawauk in fanyak nu fineol mutal.
Moses el fahk nu sin mwet kol uh, “Soanekut ke acn in aktuktuk uh nwe ke kut foloko. Aaron ac Hur ac muta yuruwos. Kutena mwet su oasr alein yoro, ku in som nu yoroltal in aksuwosyela.”
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Na Moses el fanyak nu Fineol Sinai, ac pukunyeng se afunla.
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.
Kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD oan Fineol Sinai, ac pukunyeng sac afunla fineol uh ke len onkosr. Ke len se akitkosr LEUM GOD El pang nu sel Moses liki pukunyeng sac.
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].
Ke kalem wolana lun LEUM GOD sikyak in pacl sac, oana sie e firirelik fin mangon eol uh ke mwet Israel elos liye.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
Moses el fanyak ke eol uh nu yen pukunyeng sac oan we. Na el muta ingo len angngaul ac fong angngaul.
