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.
Dijo (Dios) a Moisés: “Sube a donde está Yahvé, tú, Aarón, Nadab y Abiú, con setenta de los ancianos de Israel, y adoraréis desde lejos.
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 solo Moisés se acercará a Yahvé; ellos, en cambio, no se acercarán; tampoco subirá con él el pueblo.”
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].”
Vino, pues, Moisés y refirió al pueblo todas las palabras de Yahvé y todas sus leyes. Y todo el pueblo respondió a una voz: “Haremos todo cuanto ha dicho Yahvé.”
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.
Entonces escribió Moisés todas las palabras de Yahvé; y levantándose muy de mañana, erigió al pie del monte un altar y doce piedras según el número de las doce tribus 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.
Y mandó a algunos jóvenes, hijos de Israel, que ofreciesen holocaustos e inmolaran becerros como sacrificios pacíficos para Yahvé.
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.
Tomó Moisés la mitad de la sangre y la echó en vasijas, y la otra mitad la derramó sobre el 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].”
Después tomó el libro de la Alianza y lo leyó ante el pueblo, el cual respondió: “Obedeceremos y haremos todo cuanto ha dicho Yahvé.”
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.”
Y tomando Moisés la sangre roció con ella al pueblo y dijo: “He aquí la sangre de la Alianza que Yahvé ha hecho con vosotros, a tenor de todas estas palabras.”
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Luego subió Moisés con Aarón, Nadab y Abiú y setenta de los ancianos 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].
Y vieron al Dios de Israel. Bajo sus pies había algo como un pavimento de zafiro tan puro como el mismo cielo.
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 no extendió su mano contra los príncipes de Israel; los cuales vieron a Dios, y comieron y bebieron.
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].”
Después dijo Yahvé a Moisés: “Sube al monte, hacia Mí, y permanece allí, y te daré las tablas de piedra, con la ley y los mandamientos que tengo escritos para instrucción de ellos.”
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.
Se levantó, pues, Moisés, con Josué, su ministro; y cuando subió al monte de Dios,
dijo a los ancianos: “Esperadnos aquí hasta que volvamos a dónde estáis vosotros. Tenéis aquí a Aarón y a Hur. Quien tenga alguna cuestión recurra a ellos.
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Subió, pues, Moisés al monte, y la nube cubrió el 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.
La gloria de Yahvé reposó sobre el monte Sinaí y la nube lo cubrió por seis días. Al séptimo día llamó Él a Moisés de en medio de la nube.
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].
Y parecía la gloria de Yahvé ante los ojos de los hijos de Israel como un fuego devorador sobre la cumbre del monte.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
Moisés entró en la nube y subió al monte. Y permaneció Moisés en el monte cuarenta días y cuarenta noches.
