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,
ʻI hono tolu ʻoe māhina, hili ʻae ʻalu atu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mei he fonua ko ʻIsipite, ko e ʻaho ko ia naʻa nau hoko ki he toafa ko Sainai.
2 and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there before the mount.
He kuo nau hiki mei Lefitimi, pea hoko ki he toafa ʻo Sainai, pea nau ʻapitanga ʻi he toafa; pea naʻe ʻapitanga ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe moʻunga.
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,
Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Mōsese ki he ʻOtua, pea folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia mei he moʻunga, ʻo pehē, “Te ke lea pehē ki he fale ʻo Sēkope, ʻo tala ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli;
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.
Kuo mou mamata ki he meʻa naʻaku fai ki he kakai ʻIsipite, mo ʻeku fua ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kapakau ʻoe ʻikale, ʻo ʻomi ʻakimoutolu kiate au.
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;
Pea ko ʻeni, kapau te mou tuitala moʻoni ki hoku leʻo, ʻo tauhi ʻeku fuakava, te mou ʻiate au ko e koloa lelei lahi ʻi he kakai kotoa pē: he ʻoku ʻoʻoku ʻa māmani kotoa pē.
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.'
Pea te mou ʻiate au ko e puleʻanga ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kakai māʻoniʻoni. Ko eni ʻae ngaahi lea ke ke lea ʻaki ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
7 And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him;
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Mōsese ʻo fekau ke haʻu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻoe kakai, ʻo ne tuku ki honau ʻao ʻae ngaahi lea ni kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia.
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.
Pea naʻe lea fakataha ʻae kakai kotoa pē, ʻo pehē, “Te mau fai ʻaia kotoa pē kuo folofola ki ai ʻa Sihova.” Pea tala atu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae kakai kia Sihova.
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.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Vakai, te u ʻalu atu kiate koe ʻi he ʻao matolu, koeʻuhi ke ongoʻi ʻe he kakai ʻo kau ka lea kiate koe, pea nau tui kiate koe ʻo taʻengata.” Pea naʻe tala atu ʻe Mōsese ʻae ngaahi lea ʻae kakai kia Sihova.
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,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “ʻAlu ki he kakai, ʻo fakamāʻoniʻoni ʻakinautolu he ʻaho ni mo e ʻapongipongi, pea ke nau fō honau ngaahi kofu.
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.
Pea teu ki hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho: koeʻuhi ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho ʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ki he moʻunga ko Sainai ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai kotoa pē.
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;
Pea ke ai hano ngataʻanga takatakai ki he kakai, mo ke pehē, Vakai kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa mou ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga, pe ʻalu ki hono tafaʻaki: ko ia ʻe ʻalu ki he moʻunga ʻe tāmateʻi moʻoni ia:
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.'
ʻE ʻikai ha nima ʻe ala ki ai ʻe taʻetolongaki moʻoni ia ʻaki ʻae maka pe fanaʻi ke ʻasi: pe ko ha manu ia pe ha tangata, ʻe ʻikai moʻui ia: ʻoka ongo mai ʻae meʻa lea ʻo fuoloa, te nau ʻalu atu ki he moʻunga.”
14 And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ʻa Mōsese mei he moʻunga ki he kakai, ʻo ne fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻae kakai; pea naʻa nau fō honau ngaahi kofu.
15 and he saith unto the people, 'Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto a woman.'
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki he kakai, “Mou tali teu pe ki hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho: ʻoua naʻa ala ki homou uaifi.”
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.
Pea pongipongi hake ʻi hono tolu ʻoe ʻaho, naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe ai ʻae ngaahi mana mo e ʻuhila, mo e ʻao matolu ki he moʻunga, mo e ongo mai ʻae meʻa lea naʻe mālohi fakamanavahē; ko ia naʻe tetetete ai ʻae kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he ʻapitanga.
17 And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount,
Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe Mōsese ʻae kakai kituʻa mei he ʻapitanga ke nau fakafetaulaki atu ki he ʻOtua; pea naʻa nau tutuʻu ʻi he potu ʻi lalo ʻi he moʻunga.
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;
Pea naʻe kohuʻia ʻae moʻunga ko Sainai kotoa pē, koeʻuhi naʻe hāʻele hifo ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he afi: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa hono kohu ʻo hangē ko e kohu ʻo ha fuʻu afi, pea naʻe ngalulu lahi ʻae moʻunga kotoa.
19 and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice.
Pea ʻi he ongo mai ʻae leʻo ʻoe meʻa lea ʻo fuoloa, pea fakaʻaʻau ʻo leʻo lahi ʻaupito, pea lea ʻa Mōsese, pea talia ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaki ʻae leʻo.
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.
Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ki he moʻunga ko Sainai, ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga: pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese ke ʻalu hake ia ki he tumutumu ʻoe moʻunga; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Mōsese.
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;
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, “Ke ke ʻalu hifo, ʻo naʻinaʻi atu ki he kakai, telia naʻa nau ʻasi ki loto ʻo fakasio kia Sihova, pea mate ai honau tokolahi.
22 and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.'
Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki foki, ʻaia ʻoku haʻu ʻo ofi kia Sihova, tuku ke nau fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakinautolu, telia naʻa ʻoho atu ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu.”
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.'
Pea pehēange ʻe Mōsese kia Sihova, “ʻOku ʻikai faʻa haʻu ʻae kakai ki he moʻunga ko Sainai: he naʻa ke fekauʻi ʻakimautolu ʻo pehē, ʻAi hono fakangatangata, ki he moʻunga, mo fakatapui ia.”
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.'
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu hifo, pea ke toe ʻalu hake, ʻa koe, mo ʻElone: kaeʻoua naʻa ʻoho ki loto ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kakai ke ʻalu hake kia Sihova, telia naʻa ʻoho atu ia kiate kinautolu.”
25 And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them: —
Pea naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ʻa Mōsese ki he kakai, ʻo ne lea atu kiate kinautolu.
