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.
Azɔ la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kplɔ Aron, Nadab kple Abihu kple Israel ƒe ametsitsi blaadre, eye mialia to la. Ame mamlɛawo anɔ adzɔge, eye woasubɔm.
2 Moses alone may come near to me. The others must not come near, nor may the people come up with him.”
Wò, Mose, koe ate ɖe ŋunye. Ɖo ŋku edzi be Israelvi bubuawo mekpɔ mɔ alia to la kura o.”
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.”
Mose ɖe gbeƒã se kple ɖoɖo siwo katã Yehowa de asi nɛ la na dukɔ la. Ameawo katã ɖo eŋu kple gbe ɖeka be, “Míawɔ seawo katã dzi.”
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.
Mose ŋlɔ Yehowa ƒe seawo katã da ɖi. Esi ŋu ke ŋdi kanya la, etu vɔsamlekpui aɖe ɖe to la te, eye wòɖo dzesidekpe wuieve ƒo xlã vɔsamlekpui la, elabena to wuievee wɔ Israel dukɔ la.
5 He sent some Israelite young men to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice fellowship offerings of oxen to Yahweh.
Le esia megbe la, eɖo Israelvi ɖekakpui aɖewo ɖa be woasa numevɔsa eye woatsɔ nyitsuwo awɔ akpedavɔsa na Yehowa.
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it into basins; he sprinkled the other half onto the altar.
Mose kɔ vɔsalã siawo ƒe ʋu ƒe afã ɖe zewo me, eye wòhlẽ afã mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu.
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.”
Mose tsɔ agbalẽ si me nublanyawo le eye wòxlẽe na ameawo, eye ameawo gagblɔ be, “Míawɔ nu sia nu si Yehowa gblɔ na mi la, eye míalé eme ɖe asi.”
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.”
Mose ku lãwo ƒe ʋu tso zeawo me hlẽ ɖe ameawo dome hegblɔ be, “Ʋu sia ɖo kpe nubabla si Yehowa wɔ kpli mí to Se siawo nana mí me la dzi, eye wòtre nubabla la nu.”
9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders went up the mountain.
Le esia megbe la, Mose, Aron, Nadab, Abihu kple Israel ƒe ametsitsi blaadreawo lia to la.
10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there was a pavement made of sapphire stone, as clear as the sky itself.
Wokpɔ Israel ƒe Mawu la. Teƒe si wòtsi tsitre ɖo la dze abe safirkpe keklẽ siwo me kɔ abe dziŋgɔli me la ene.
11 God did not lay a hand on the Israelite leaders. They saw God, and they ate and drank.
Togbɔ be Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo kpɔ Mawu hã la, metsrɔ̃ wo o. Emegbe la, woɖu nu kple wo nɔewo le eŋkume.
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.”
Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Va gbɔnye le to la dzi, eye nànɔ afi ma va se ɖe esime matsɔ Se siwo meŋlɔ ɖe kpewo dzi la ana wò, ale be nàte ŋu akpɔ wo dzi, afia seawo dukɔ la.”
13 So Moses set out with his assistant Joshua and went up the mountain of God.
Ale Mose kple eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Yosua lia Mawu ƒe to la.
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.”
Mose gblɔ na ametsitsiawo be, “Minɔ afi sia, eye mialala mí va se ɖe esime míatrɔ agbɔ. Ne nya sesẽ aɖe ado ta ɖa la, ekema mitsɔ nya la ɖo Aron kple Hur ŋkume.”
15 So Moses went up the mountain, and the cloud covered it.
Mose lia to la, eye wòbu ɖe lilikpowo me le to la tame.
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.
Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dze ɖe Sinai to la dzi, eye lilikpo la tsyɔ to la dzi ŋkeke ade. Le ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, Yehowa yɔ Mose tso lilikpo la me.
17 The appearance of Yahweh's glory was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the Israelites.
Israelvi siwo nɔ to la te la kpɔ nu dziŋɔ sia teƒe. Yehowa ƒe ŋutikɔkɔe dze na wo le toa tame abe dzo bibi ene.
18 Moses entered the cloud and went up the mountain. He was up the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
Mose bu ɖe lilikpo si tsyɔ to la tame la me, eye wònɔ afi ma ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene.
