Exodus 24
1 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me—you, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders, and worship me at a distance.
| ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اصْعَدْ إِلَيَّ أَنْتَ وَهَرُونُ وَنَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو، وَسَبْعُونَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلْيَسْجُدْ هَؤُلاءِ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ. | ١ |
2 Moses alone may come near to me. The others must not come near, nor may the people come up with him.”
| لَا يَقْتَرِبْ إِلَيَّ أَحَدٌ سِوَاكَ، أَمَّا الآخَرُونَ فَيَبْقُونَ بَعِيداً. وَحَذَارِ أَنْ يَصْعَدَ الشَّعْبُ مَعَكَ». | ٢ |
3 Moses went and told the people all of Yahweh's words and decrees. All the people answered with one voice and said, “We will do all the words that Yahweh has said.”
| فَجَاءَ مُوسَى وَبَلَّغَ الشَّعْبَ بِكُلِّ كَلامِ الرَّبِّ وَأَحْكَامِهِ، فَأَجَابَ الشَّعْبُ بِصَوْتٍ وَاحِدٍ: «كُلُّ مَا أَمَرَنَا بِهِ الرَّبُّ نَفْعَلُ». | ٣ |
4 Then Moses wrote down all of Yahweh's words. Early in the morning, Moses built an altar at the foot of the mountain and arranged twelve stone pillars, so that the stones would represent the twelve tribes of Israel.
| فَكَتَبَ مُوسَى جَمِيعَ أَقْوَالِ الرَّبِّ، ثُمَّ بَكَّرَ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَشَيَّدَ مَذْبَحاً عَلَى سَفْحِ الجَبَلِ، وَنَصَبَ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَمُوداً عَلَى عَدَدِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ. | ٤ |
5 He sent some Israelite young men to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice fellowship offerings of oxen to Yahweh.
| وَأَرْسَلَ بَعْضَ شُبَّانِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَقَدَّمُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ وَقَرَّبُوا ذَبَائِحَ سَلامَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ مِنَ الْعُجُولِ، | ٥ |
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it into basins; he sprinkled the other half onto the altar.
| وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى نِصْفَ الدَّمِ وَاحْتَفَظَ بِهِ فِي طُسُوسٍ وَرَشَّ النِّصْفَ الْبَاقِي عَلَى الْمَذْبَحِ. | ٦ |
7 He took the book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people. They said, “We will do all that Yahweh has spoken. We will be obedient.”
| وَتَنَاوَلَ كِتَابَ الْعَهْدِ وَتَلاهُ عَلَى مَسَامِعِ الشَّعْبِ، فَقَالُوا: «كُلُّ مَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الرَّبُّ نَفْعَلُهُ وَنُطِيعُهُ». | ٧ |
8 Then Moses took the blood and sprinkled it onto the people. He said, “This is the blood of the covenant that Yahweh has made with you by giving you this promise with all these words.”
| ثُمَّ أَخَذَ مُوسَى الدَّمَ الَّذِي فِي الطُّسُوسِ وَرَشَّهُ عَلَى الشَّعْبِ قَائِلاً: «هُوَذَا دَمُ الْعَهْدِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ الرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ بِنَاءً عَلَى جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الأَقْوَالِ». | ٨ |
9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders went up the mountain.
| ثُمَّ صَعِدَ مُوسَى وَهَرُونُ وَنَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو وَسَبْعُونَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، | ٩ |
10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there was a pavement made of sapphire stone, as clear as the sky itself.
| وَرَأَوْا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ أَرْضِيَّةٌ كَأَنَّهَا مَصْنُوعَةٌ مِنَ الْيَاقُوتِ الأَزْرَقِ الشَّفَّافِ تُمَاثِلُ السَّمَاءَ فِي النَّقَاءِ، | ١٠ |
11 God did not lay a hand on the Israelite leaders. They saw God, and they ate and drank.
| وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ لَمْ يَمُدَّ يَدَهُ لِيُهْلِكَ أَشْرَافَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَرَأَوْا اللهَ وَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا. | ١١ |
12 Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay there. I will give you the tablets of stone and the law and commandments that I have written, so that you may teach them.”
| وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «اصْعَدْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ وَامْكُثْ هُنَاكَ لأُعْطِيَكَ الْوَصَايَا وَالشَّرَائِعَ الَّتِي كَتَبْتُهَا عَلَى لَوْحَيِ الْحَجَرِ لِتُلَقِّنَهَا لَهُمْ». | ١٢ |
13 So Moses set out with his assistant Joshua and went up the mountain of God.
| فَقَامَ مُوسَى وَأَخَذَ خَادِمَهُ يَشُوعَ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ اللهِ. | ١٣ |
14 Moses had said to the elders, “Stay here and wait for us until we come to you. Aaron and Hur are with you. If anyone has a dispute, let him go to them.”
| وَقَالَ لِلشُّيُوخِ: «انْتَظِرُونَا هُنَا حَتَّى نَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ. وَهُوَذَا هَرُونُ وَحُورُ مَعَكُمْ، فَإِنْ كَانَ لأَحَدٍ دَعْوَى فَلْيَرْفَعْهَا إِلَيْهِمَا». | ١٤ |
15 So Moses went up the mountain, and the cloud covered it.
| وَعِنْدَمَا صَعِدَ مُوسَى إِلَى الجَبَلِ، تَغَطَّى الجَبَلُ بِالسَّحَابِ، | ١٥ |
16 Yahweh's glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day he called to Moses from within the cloud.
| وَحَلَّ مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ عَلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، وَغَطَّاهُ السَّحَابُ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَفِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ دَعَا الرَّبُّ مُوسَى مِنْ وَسَطِ السَّحَابِ. | ١٦ |
17 The appearance of Yahweh's glory was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the Israelites.
| وَبَدَا مَجْدُ الرَّبِّ لِعُيُونِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ عَلَى قِمَّةِ الجَبَلِ. | ١٧ |
18 Moses entered the cloud and went up the mountain. He was up the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
| وَاخْتَفَى مُوسَى فِي وَسَطِ السَّحَابِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى الجَبَلِ حَيْثُ مَكَثَ هُنَاكَ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَاراً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً. | ١٨ |
