Exodus 19
1 In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai,
Ana a Israeli aja anafika ku chipululu cha Sinai pa tsiku loyamba la mwezi wachitatu chichokere mʼdziko la Igupto.
2 and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there before the mount.
Atachoka ku Refidimu, anafika ku Sinai, ndipo Aisraeli anamangako misasa yawo moyangʼanana ndi phirilo.
3 And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, 'Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel,
Mose anakwera ku phiri kukakumana ndi Mulungu ndipo Yehova anamuyitana nati, “Ukawuze zidzukulu za Yakobo, ana onse a Israeli kuti,
4 Ye — ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and I bear you on eagles' wings, and bring you in unto Myself.
‘Inu eni munaona zimene ndinawachitira Aigupto ndiponso mmene ndinakunyamulirani, monga mmene chiwombankhanga chimanyamulira ana ake pa mapiko,’ ndikukubweretsani kwa Ine.
5 'And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth [is] Mine;
Tsopano, ngati mumveradi mawu anga ndi kusunga pangano langa, mudzakhala chuma changa chapamtima pakati pa mitundu yonse. Ngakhale kuti dziko lonse lapansi ndi langa,
6 and ye — ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these [are] the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.'
inu mudzakhala ansembe achifumu ndi mtundu woyera mtima. Awa ndi mawu amene uyenera kuwawuza Aisraeli.”
7 And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him;
Ndipo Mose anabwerera ndi kuyitanitsa akuluakulu. Atabwera anawafotokozera mawu amene Yehova anamulamulira kuti adzanene.
8 and all the people answer together and say, 'All that Jehovah hath spoken we do;' and Moses returneth the words of the people unto Jehovah.
Anthu onse anayankha pamodzi kuti, “Ife tidzachita zonse zimene Yehova wanena.” Choncho Mose anabweza yankho lawo kwa Yehova.
9 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, I am coming unto thee in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with thee, and also believe in thee to the age;' and Moses declareth the words of the people unto Jehovah.
Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Ine ndibwera kwa iwe mu mtambo wakuda kuti anthu adzandimve ndikuyankhula ndi iwe. Choncho adzakukhulupirira nthawi zonse.” Kenaka Mose anawuza Yehova zimene anthu ananena.
10 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go unto the people; and thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have washed their garments,
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Pita kwa anthu onse ndi kuwayeretsa lero ndi mawa. Achape zovala zawo
11 and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day doth Jehovah come down before the eyes of all the people, on mount Sinai.
ndipo akhale atakonzeka pofika tsiku lachitatu, chifukwa tsiku limenelo Yehova adzatsika pa phiri la Sinai anthu onse akuona.
12 'And thou hast made a border [for] the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mount, or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mount is certainly put to death;
Uwalembere malire anthuwo kuzungulira phirilo ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Samalani musakwere phirilo kapena kukhudza tsinde lake. Aliyense wokhudza phiri adzaphedwa ndithu.
13 a hand cometh not against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man it liveth not; in the drawing out of the jubilee cornet they go up into the mount.'
Aliyense wokhudza phiri adzaphedwa ndi miyala kapena kumulasa ndi mivi. Palibe amene adzamukhudze. Palibe munthu amene adzaloledwa kukhala ndi moyo ngakhale nyama. Iwo adzayenera kuphedwa.’ Koma anthu adzapita ku phirilo akadzamva kulira kwa lipenga la nyanga yankhosa.”
14 And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;
Tsono Mose anatsika phiri lija nafika kwa anthu aja ndi kuwayeretsa. Iwo anachapa zovala zawo.
15 and he saith unto the people, 'Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto a woman.'
Kenaka iye anati kwa anthu, “Konzekerani tsiku lachitatu, musagone pamodzi ndi mkazi.”
16 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud, on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet very strong; and all the people who [are] in the camp do tremble.
Mʼmamawa wa tsiku lachitatu kunali mabingu, ziphaliwali ndi mtambo wakuda umene unaphimba phiri, ndiponso lipenga lolira kwambiri. Aliyense ku misasa kuja ananjenjemera ndi mantha.
17 And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount,
Ndipo Mose anatsogolera anthu kutuluka mʼmisasa kukakumana ndi Mulungu, ndipo anayima mʼmunsi mwa phiri.
18 and mount Sinai [is] wholly a smoke from the presence of Jehovah, who hath come down on it in fire, and its smoke goeth up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mount trembleth exceedingly;
Phiri la Sinai linakutidwa ndi utsi, chifukwa Yehova anatsika ndi moto pa phiripo. Utsi unakwera ngati wochokera mʼngʼanjo yamoto ndipo phiri lonse linagwedezeka kwambiri.
19 and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice.
Liwu la lipenga linkakulirakulira. Tsono Mose anayankhula ndipo Yehova anamuyankha ndi mabingu.
20 And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up.
Yehova anatsika nafika pamwamba pa phiri la Sinai, ndipo anayitana Mose kuti apite pa phiripo. Choncho Mose anakwera,
21 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them have fallen;
ndipo Yehova anati kwa iye, “Tsika ukawachenjeze anthu kuti asayesere kudutsa malire kuti adzandione chifukwa ambiri a iwo adzafa.
22 and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.'
Ngakhale ansembe amene amatumikira pamaso pa Yehova ayenera kudziyeretsa kuopa kuti ndingadzawalange.”
23 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, 'The people [is] unable to come up unto mount Sinai, for Thou — Thou hast protested to us, saying, Make a border [for] the mount, then thou hast sanctified it.'
Mose anati kwa Yehova, “Anthu sangakwere phiri la Sinai chifukwa inu munatichenjeza. Lembani malire kuzungulira phiri ndipo mulipatule kuti likhale loyera.”
24 And Jehovah saith unto him, 'Go, descend, then thou hast come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; and the priests and the people do not break through, to come up unto Jehovah, lest He break forth upon them.'
Yehova anayankha, “Tsika ukamutenge Aaroni. Koma ansembe ndi anthu asayesere kubzola malire kuti abwere kwa Yehova chifukwa Iye adzawalanga.”
25 And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them: —
Ndipo Mose anatsika ndi kukawawuza anthuwo.
