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.
RAB Musa'ya, “Sen, Harun, Nadav, Avihu ve İsrail ileri gelenlerinden yetmiş kişi bana gelin” dedi, “Bana uzaktan tapın.
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.”
Yalnız sen bana yaklaşacaksın. Ötekiler yaklaşmamalı. Halk seninle dağa çıkmamalı.”
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].”
Musa gidip RAB'bin bütün buyruklarını, ilkelerini halka anlattı. Herkes bir ağızdan, “RAB'bin her söylediğini yapacağız” diye karşılık verdi.
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.
Musa RAB'bin bütün buyruklarını yazdı. Sabah erkenden kalkıp dağın eteğinde bir sunak kurdu, İsrail'in on iki oymağını simgeleyen on iki taş sütun dikti.
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.
Sonra İsrailli gençleri gönderdi. Onlar da RAB'be yakmalık sunular sundular, esenlik kurbanları olarak boğalar kestiler.
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.
Musa kanın yarısını leğenlere doldurdu, öbür yarısını sunağın üzerine döktü.
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].”
Sonra antlaşma kitabını alıp halka okudu. Halk, “RAB'bin her söylediğini yapacağız, O'nu dinleyeceğiz” dedi.
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.”
Musa leğenlerdeki kanı halkın üzerine serpti ve, “Bütün bu sözler uyarınca, RAB'bin sizinle yaptığı antlaşmanın kanı budur” dedi.
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Sonra Musa, Harun, Nadav, Avihu ve İsrail ileri gelenlerinden yetmiş kişi dağa çıkarak
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].
İsrail'in Tanrısı'nı gördüler. Tanrı'nın ayakları altında laciverttaşını andıran bir döşeme vardı. Gök gibi duruydu.
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].
Tanrı İsrail soylularına zarar vermedi. Tanrı'yı gördüler, sonra yiyip içtiler.
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].”
RAB Musa'ya, “Dağa, yanıma gel” dedi, “Burada bekle, halkın öğrenmesi için üzerine yasalarla buyrukları yazdığım taş levhaları sana vereceğim.”
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.
Musa'yla yardımcısı Yeşu hazırlandılar. Musa Tanrı Dağı'na çıkarken,
İsrail ileri gelenlerine, “Geri dönünceye kadar bizi burada bekleyin” dedi, “Harun'la Hur aranızda; kimin sorunu olursa onlara başvursun.”
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Musa dağa çıkınca, bulut dağı kapladı.
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.
RAB'bin görkemi Sina Dağı'nın üzerine indi. Bulut dağı altı gün örttü. Yedinci gün RAB bulutun içinden Musa'ya seslendi.
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].
RAB'bin görkemi İsrailliler'e dağın doruğunda yakıcı bir ateş gibi görünüyordu.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
Musa bulutun içinden dağa çıktı. Kırk gün kırk gece dağda kaldı.
