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.
Pagkatapos sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Umakyat ka papunta sa akin- ikaw, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, at pitumpung mga nakatatanda ng Israelita, at sambahin ako sa kalayuan.
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.”
Si Moises lamang ang maaring lumapit sa akin. Ang iba ay hindi dapat lumapit, ni maaring sumama paakyat ang mga tao sa kaniya.”
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].”
Pumunta si Moises sa mga tao at sinabi ang lahat ng mga salita ni Yahweh at mga palatuntunan. Sumagot ang lahat ng mga tao na may isang tinig at sinabing, “Gagawin namin ang lahat ng mga salita na sinabi ni Yahweh.
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.
Pagkatapos sinulat ni Moises ang lahat ng mga salita ni Yahweh. Umagang-umaga, nagtayo si Moses ng altar sa paanan ng bundok at inayos ang labing dalawang mga haligi na bato, kaya ang mga batong iyon ang siyang kumatawan sa labing dalawang lipi ng 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.
Nagpadala siya ng ilang mga binatang Israelita para mag-alay ng mga sinunog na handog at mag-alay ng sama-samang handog na mga baka para kay Yahweh.
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.
Kinuha ni Moises ang kalahati ng dugo at nilagay sa loob ng mga palanggana, iniwisik ang natirang kalahati sa ibabaw ng 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].”
Kinuha niya Ang Aklat ng Tipan at binasa ito ng malakas sa mga tao. Sinabi nila, “Gagawin namin ang lahat ng sinabi ni Yahweh. Magiging masunurin kami.”
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.”
Pagkatapos kinuha ni Moises ang dugo at iniwisik ito sa mga tao. Sinabi niya, “Ito ang dugo ng tipan na ginawa ni Yahweh para sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay sa inyo ng pangakong ito kasama ang lahat ng mga salitang ito.
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Pagkatapos sina Moises, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, at pitumpu sa mga nakatatanda ng Israel ay umakyat sa bundok.
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].
Nakita nila ang Diyos ng Israel. Sa ilalim ng kaniyang mga paa mayroong semento na gawa sa sapirong bato, na kasing linaw ng mismong langit.
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].
Hindi inilagay ng Diyos isang kamay sa galit sa mga pinuno ng Israelita. Nakita nila ang Diyos, at kumain at uminom sila.
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].”
Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Umakyat ka papunta sa akin sa bundok at manatili ka doon. Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang mga tipak ng bato at ang batas at mga utos na aking sinulat, para ituro mo sa kanila.”
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.
Kaya lumakad si Moises kasama ang kaniyang utusan na si Josue at inakyat ang bundok ng Diyos.
Sinabi ni Moises sa mga nakatatanda, “Manatili kayo dito at hintayin ninyo kami hanggang makabalik kami sa inyo. Sina Aaron at Hur ay kasama ninyo. Kung sinuman ang mayroong pagtatalo, hayaan mo siyang pumunta sa kanila.”
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Kaya umakyat si Moises papunta sa bundok, at tinakpan ito ng ulap.
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.
Nanahan ang kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh sa Bundok ng Sinai, at tinakpan ito ng ulap sa loob ng anim na araw. Sa ikapitong araw tinawag niya si Moises mula sa loob ng ulap.
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].
Ang anyo ng kaluwalhatian ni Yahweh ay katulad ng isang apoy na tumutupok sa ibabaw ng bundok sa mga mata ng mga Israelita.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
Pumasok si Moises sa ulap at umakyat sa bundok. Naroon siya sa ibabaw ng bundok nang apatnapung araw at apatnapung gabi.
