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.
Ele disse a Moisés: “Suba a Yahweh, você e Arão, Nadab, e Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel; e adore à distância”.
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.”
Somente Moisés se aproximará de Iavé, mas eles não se aproximarão. O povo não subirá com ele”.
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].”
Moisés veio e disse ao povo todas as palavras de Javé, e todas as ordenanças; e todo o povo respondeu com uma só voz, e disse: “Todas as palavras que Javé disse, nós faremos”.
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.
Moisés escreveu todas as palavras de Javé, depois levantou-se de manhã cedo e construiu um altar na base da montanha, com doze pilares para 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.
Ele enviou jovens das crianças de Israel, que ofereceram holocaustos e sacrificaram ofertas pacíficas de gado a Iavé.
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.
Moisés tomou metade do sangue e o colocou em bacias, e metade do sangue que aspergiu 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].”
Ele pegou o livro do pacto e o leu na audiência do povo, e eles disseram: “Faremos tudo o que Javé disse, e seremos obedientes”.
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.”
Moisés tomou o sangue, aspergiu-o sobre o povo e disse: “Olha, este é o sangue do pacto, que Javé fez contigo a respeito de todas estas palavras”.
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Então Moisés, Arão, Nadab, Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel subiram.
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].
Eles viram o Deus de Israel. Sob seus pés era como uma obra pavimentada de pedra de safira, como os céus para a claridade.
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].
Ele não colocou sua mão sobre os nobres dos filhos de Israel. Eles viram 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].”
Yahweh disse a Moisés: “Vem até mim na montanha, e fica aqui, e eu te darei as tábuas de pedra com a lei e os mandamentos que escrevi, para que tu as ensines”.
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.
Moisés se levantou com Josué, seu servo, e Moisés subiu à Montanha de Deus.
Ele disse aos anciãos: “Esperem aqui por nós, até voltarmos a vocês”. Eis que Aarão e Hur estão com vocês”. Quem estiver envolvido em uma disputa pode ir até eles”.
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Moisés subiu na montanha, e a nuvem cobriu a montanha.
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.
A glória de Yahweh assentou no Monte Sinai, e a nuvem a cobriu durante seis dias. No sétimo dia ele chamou Moisés para fora 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].
A aparência da glória de Javé era como devorar fogo no topo da montanha 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.
Moisés entrou no meio da nuvem e subiu na montanha; e Moisés estava na montanha por quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
