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.
E disse a Moisés: Sobe ao SENHOR, tu, e Arão, Nadabe, e Abiú, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel; e vos inclinareis desde longe.
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.”
Mas Moisés somente se chegará ao SENHOR; e eles não se aproximem, nem suba com ele o povo.
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 Moisés veio e contou ao povo todas as palavras do SENHOR, e todos os estatutos: e todo o povo respondeu em uma voz, e disseram: Executaremos todas as palavras que o SENHOR disse.
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.
E Moisés escreveu todas as palavras do SENHOR, e levantando-se de manhã edificou um altar ao pé do monte, e doze colunas, segundo as doze tribos de 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.
E enviou aos rapazes dos filhos de Israel, os quais ofereceram holocaustos e sacrificaram pacíficos ao SENHOR, bezerros.
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 Moisés tomou a metade do sangue, e a pôs em bacias, e espargiu a outra metade do sangue sobre o altar.
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].”
E tomou o livro da aliança, e leu aos ouvidos do povo, o qual disse: Faremos todas as coisas que o SENHOR disse, e obedeceremos.
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.”
Então Moisés tomou o sangue, e salpicou sobre o povo, e disse: Eis o sangue da aliança que o SENHOR fez convosco sobre todas estas coisas.
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
E subiram Moisés e Arão, Nadabe e Abiú, e setenta dos anciãos de 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].
E viram ao Deus de Israel; e havia debaixo de seus pés como um pavimento de safira, semelhante ao céu quando está claro.
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].
Mas não estendeu sua mão sobre os príncipes dos filhos de Israel: e viram a Deus, e comeram e beberam.
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].”
Então o SENHOR disse a Moisés: Sobe a mim ao monte, e espera ali, e te darei tábuas de pedra, e a lei, e mandamentos que escrevi para ensiná-los.
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.
E levantou-se Moisés, e Josué seu assistente; e Moisés subiu ao monte de Deus.
E disse aos anciãos: Esperai-nos aqui até que voltemos a vós: e eis que Arão e Hur estão convosco: o que tiver negócios chegue-se a eles.
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Então Moisés subiu ao monte, e uma nuvem cobriu o 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 a glória do SENHOR repousou sobre o monte Sinai, e a nuvem o cobriu por seis dias: e ao sétimo dia chamou a Moisés do meio da nuvem.
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 a aparência da glória do SENHOR era como um fogo abrasador no cume do monte, aos olhos dos filhos de Israel.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
E entrou Moisés em meio da nuvem, e subiu ao monte: e esteve Moisés no monte quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
