Exodus 19
1 In the third month after the people of Israel had gone out from the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came to the wilderness of Sinai.
No te toru o nga marama o te haerenga mai o nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa, no taua rangi ano, ka tae ratou ki te koraha o Hinai.
2 After they left Rephidim and came to the wilderness of Sinai, they camped in the wilderness in front of the mountain.
A, i to ratou haerenga atu i Repirimi, ka tae ki te koraha o Hinai, ka noho iho ratou i te koraha; a noho ana a Iharaira ki reira, ki te ritenga atu o te maunga.
3 Moses went up to God. Yahweh called to him from the mountain and said, “You must tell the house of Jacob, the people of Israel:
Na ka piki a Mohi ki te Atua, a ka karanga a Ihowa ki a ia i te maunga, ka mea, Kia penei tau korero ki te whare o Hakopa, tau kauwhau hoki ki nga tama a Iharaira;
4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.
Kua kite koutou i nga mea i mea ai ahau ki nga Ihipiana, i taku whakawahanga hoki i a koutou i runga i nga parirau ekara, me te kawenga mai i a koutou ki ahau.
5 Now then, if you obediently listen to my voice and keep my covenant, then you will be my special possession from among all peoples, for all the earth is mine.
Heoi ki te ata whakarongo koutou ki toku reo, ki te pupuri hoki i taku kawenata, ka waiho koutou hei taonga moku, motu ke i nga iwi katoa: i ahau hoki te whenua katoa:
6 You will be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation for me. These are the words that you must speak to the people of Israel.”
A ka waiho koutou e ahau hei kingi, hei tohunga, hei iwi tapu hoki. Ko nga kupu enei e korero ai koe ki nga tama a Iharaira.
7 So Moses came and summoned the elders of the people. He set before them all these words that Yahweh had commanded him.
Na ka haere iho a Mohi, ka karanga ia ki nga kaumatua o te iwi, a hoatu ana e ia ki to ratou aroaro enei kupu katoa i akona nei e Ihowa ki a ia.
8 All the people answered together and said, “We will do everything that Yahweh has said.” Then Moses came to report the people's words to Yahweh.
Na ka pa katoa te iwi ki te whakahoki, ka mea, Ka mahia e matou nga mea katoa i korerotia mai na e Ihowa. A kawea ana e Mohi nga kupu a te iwi ki a Ihowa.
9 Yahweh said to Moses, “I will come to you in a thick cloud so that the people may hear when I speak with you and may also believe you forever.” Then Moses told the people's words to Yahweh.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Nana, ka haere atu ahau ki a koe i roto i tetahi kapua matotoru, kia rongo ai te iwi, ua korero ahau ki a koe, kia whakapono ai hoki ratou ki a koe a mua tonu atu. A korerotia ana e Mohi nga kupu a te iwi ki a Ihowa.
10 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people. Today and tomorrow you must set them apart to me, and make them wash their garments.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere ki te iwi, ka whakatapu hoki i a ratou akuanei, apopo hoki, kia horoi hoki ratou i o ratou kakahu,
11 Be ready for the third day, for on the third day Yahweh will come down to Mount Sinai.
Kia takatu hoki mo te ra tuatoru; ta te mea hei te ra tuatoru a Ihowa haere iho ai ki te aroaro o te iwi katoa, ki runga ki Maunga Hinai.
12 You must set boundaries all around the mountain for the people. Say to them, 'Be careful that you do not go up the mountain or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain will surely be put to death.'
A whakatakotoria e koe he rohe mo te iwi, tawhio noa, tawhio noa, ka mea atu, Kia mohio koutou kei piki ki te maunga, kei pa ranei ki tona taha: ko nga tangata katoa e pa ana ki te maunga, ina, me whakamate.
13 No one's hand must touch such a person. Instead, he must certainly be stoned or shot. Whether it is a person or an animal, he must be put to death. When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they may come up to the foot of the mountain.”
Kaua te ringa e pa ki a ia, engari me aki ki te kohatu, me wero ranei ki te tao; ahakoa kararehe, ahakoa tangata, e kore e ora: ka kukume roa te tangi o te tetere, ka haere mai ai ratou ki te maunga.
14 Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people. He set apart the people to Yahweh and they washed their garments.
Na ka haere iho a Mohi i te maunga ki te iwi, ka whakatapu ia i te iwi, a horoia ana e ratou o ratou kakahu.
15 He said to the people, “Be ready on the third day; do not go near your wives.”
A i mea ia ki te iwi, Kia takatu koutou i te toru o nga ra: kaua e whakatata atu ki te wahine.
16 On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunder and lightning bolts and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very loud trumpet. All the people in the camp trembled.
A ka taka ki te toru o nga ra, i te ata, na, ka puta mai nga whatitiri, me nga uira, me te kapua matotoru i runga i te maunga, me te tangi o te tetere, tona nui na! a wiri katoa ana te hunga i te puni.
17 Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
Na ka arahina atu te iwi e Mohi i te puni ki te whakatau i te Atua; a tu ana ratou ki raro i te maunga.
18 Mount Sinai was completely covered with smoke because Yahweh descended on it in fire and smoke. The smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.
A he paowa kau Maunga Hinai, no te mea kua heke iho a Ihowa ki runga, i roto i te ahi; a kake ana tona paowa, ano he paowa oumu, a wiri pu te maunga katoa.
19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in a voice.
A i te mea ka nui haere rawa te tangi o te tetere, ka korero atu a Mohi, a ka korero a reo tangata mai te Atua ki a ia.
20 Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and he summoned Moses to the top. So Moses went up.
Na ka heke iho a Ihowa ki Maunga Hinai, ki te tihi o te maunga: a karangatia iho ana a Mohi e Ihowa ki te tihi o te maunga; a piki atu ana a Mohi.
21 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to me to look, or many of them will perish.
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Heke atu, kauwhautia te iwi ra, kei wahi ake ratou ki a Ihowa ki te matakitaki, a he tokomaha o ratou e hinga.
22 Let the priests also who come near to me set themselves apart—prepare themselves for my coming—so that I do not attack them.”
Ko nga tohunga hoki e whakatata ana ki a Ihowa, kia tapu ratou, kei auta atu a Ihowa ki a ratou.
23 Moses said to Yahweh, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you commanded us: 'Set boundaries around the mountain and set it apart to Yahweh.'”
A ka mea a Mohi ki a Ihowa, E kore e ahei i te iwi te piki ake ki Maunga Hinai; nau hoki i kauwhau iho ki a matou, i mea, Taiepatia te maunga, whakatapua hoki.
24 Yahweh said to him, “Go, get down the mountain, and bring up Aaron with you, but do not let the priests and the people break through the barrier to come up to me, or I will attack them.”
Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Haere, heke atu; ka piki mai ano koe, korua ko Arona: ko nga tohunga ia, me te iwi, kei wahi mai ratou, kei piki ki a Ihowa; kei auta atu ia ki a ratou.
25 So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
A heke atu ana a Mohi ki te iwi, korero ana ki a ratou.
