< Exodus 24 >

1 He said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũũke kũrĩ Jehova, wee na Harũni, na Nadabu, na Abihu, na athuuri mĩrongo mũgwanja a Isiraeli, mũinamĩrĩre mũhooe mũrĩ haraaya,
2 Moses alone shall come near to the LORD, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”
no Musa wiki ũgaakuhĩrĩria Jehova; acio angĩ matigooke hakuhĩ. Nao andũ acio angĩ a Isiraeli matikambate nawe.”
3 Moses came and told the people all the LORD’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which the LORD has spoken will we do.”
Nake Musa agĩthiĩ na akĩĩra andũ ciugo ciothe cia Jehova na mawatho make, nao andũ magĩĩtĩkanĩria na mũgambo ũmwe, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũrĩa wothe Jehova oigĩte, nĩtũgwĩka.”
4 Moses wrote all the LORD’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
Nake Musa akĩandĩka ũhoro wothe ũrĩa Jehova aarĩtie. Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ agĩũkĩra rũciinĩ tene, agĩaka kĩgongona magũrũ-inĩ ma kĩrĩma, na akĩrũgamia itugĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ cia mahiga irũgamĩrĩire mĩhĩrĩga ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ ya Isiraeli.
5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to the LORD.
Ningĩ agĩtũma aanake amwe a Isiraeli, nao makĩruta magongona ma njino, na magĩthĩnja tũtegwa tũrĩ igongona rĩa ũiguano kũrĩ Jehova.
6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
Musa akĩoya nuthu ya thakame yatuo akĩmĩĩkĩra mbakũri-inĩ, na nuthu ĩrĩa ĩngĩ akĩmĩminjaminjĩria kĩgongona kĩu.
7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that the LORD has said, and be obedient.”
Ningĩ akĩoya Ibuku rĩa Kĩrĩkanĩro, na akĩrĩthomera andũ. Nao andũ magĩĩtĩkanĩria, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgwĩka ũrĩa wothe Jehova oigĩte; nĩtũgwathĩka.”
8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.”
Musa agĩcooka akĩoya thakame ĩyo, akĩmĩminjaminjĩria andũ, na akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩ thakame ya kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Jehova aarĩkanĩire na inyuĩ kũringana na ciugo ici ciothe.”
9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
Musa na Harũni, na Nadabu na Abihu hamwe na athuuri acio mĩrongo mũgwanja a Isiraeli makĩambata,
10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.
na makĩona Ngai wa Isiraeli. Rungu rwa makinya make haarĩ handũ haakĩtwo wega na mahiga ma yakuti ya bururu, matherete o ta igũrũ rĩo rĩene.
11 He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
No Jehova ndaigana kũhũũra atongoria acio a Isiraeli; nĩmoonire Ngai, na makĩrĩa na makĩnyua.
12 The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ambata, ũũke kũrĩ niĩ kĩrĩma igũrũ, na ũikare ho, na nĩngũcooka ngũnengere ihengere cia mahiga, irĩ na maandĩko ma watho na maathani marĩa nyandĩkĩte nĩguo ũmarutage andũ a Isiraeli.”
13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.
Ningĩ Musa akiumagara marĩ na mũteithĩrĩria wake Joshua, nake Musa akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ngai.
14 He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”
Akĩĩra athuuri acio atĩrĩ, “Twetererei haha nginya rĩrĩa tũgaacooka. Harũni na Huri marĩ hamwe na inyuĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũngĩgĩa na ciira nĩathiiage kũrĩ o.”
15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
Rĩrĩa Musa aambatire kĩrĩma-inĩ, itu rĩkĩhumbĩra kĩrĩma,
16 The LORD’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.
naguo riiri wa Jehova ũgĩikara igũrũ rĩa Kĩrĩma gĩa Sinai. Kĩrĩma gĩkĩhumbĩrwo nĩ itu rĩu mĩthenya ĩtandatũ, na mũthenya wa mũgwanja Jehova agĩĩta Musa arĩ itu-inĩ rĩu.
17 The appearance of the LORD’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
andũ a Isiraeli moonaga riiri wa Jehova ũtariĩ ta mwaki wa kũniinana ũrĩ kĩrĩma igũrũ.
18 Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa agĩtoonya itu-inĩ o akĩambataga kĩrĩma. Agĩikara kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, ũtukũ na mũthenya.
