< Exodus 24 >
1 And unto Moses He said, 'Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and ye have bowed yourselves afar off;'
Apre sa, Bondye di Moyiz: -Moute sou mòn lan bò kote m' ansanm ak Arawon, Nadab, Abiyou ak swasanndis nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la. N'a rete yon distans, n'a bese tèt nou jouk atè pou adore m'.
2 and Moses hath drawn nigh by himself unto Jehovah; and they draw not nigh, and the people go not up with him.
Apre sa, Moyiz va pwoche pou kont li, l'a vin bò kote m'. Piga lòt yo pwoche. Pèp la menm pa pou moute avè yo.
3 And Moses cometh in, and recounteth to the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments, and all the people answer — one voice, and say, 'All the words which Jehovah hath spoken we do.'
Moyiz ale, li rapòte bay pèp la tou sa Seyè a te di l' yo ansanm ak tout lòd li te bay yo. Tout pèp la reponn ansanm: -N'a fè tou sa Seyè a di nou fè.
4 And Moses writeth all the words of Jehovah, and riseth early in the morning, and buildeth an altar under the hill, and twelve standing pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel;
Moyiz ekri tou sa Seyè a te di l' yo. Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, lè Moyiz leve, li bati yon lòtèl nan pye mòn lan. Li pran douz gwo ròch, yonn pou chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, li mete yo kanpe.
5 and he sendeth the youths of the sons of Israel, and they cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah — calves.
Apre sa, li pran kèk jenn gason nan moun Izrayèl yo, li voye yo al ofri bèt pou touye bay Seyè a: yo ofri bèt yo te boule nèt pou Seyè a. Yo touye kèk towo bèf pou di Seyè a mèsi.
6 And Moses taketh half of the blood, and putteth in basins, and half of the blood hath he sprinkled on the altar;
Moyiz pran mwatye nan san an, li mete l' nan ganmèl. Lòt mwatye a, li vide l' sou lòtèl la.
7 and he taketh the Book of the Covenant, and proclaimeth in the ears of the people, and they say, 'All that which Jehovah hath spoken we do, and obey.'
Lèfini, li pran liv kontra a, li li l' pou tout pèp la ka tande. Apre sa, pèp la di: -N'a fè tou sa Seyè a mande nou fè, n'a obeyi l'.
8 And Moses taketh the blood, and sprinkleth on the people, and saith, 'Lo, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you, concerning all these things.'
Lè sa a, Moyiz pran san ki te nan ganmèl yo, li voye l' sou pèp la, li di: -San sa a sèvi pou siyen kontra Seyè a pase ak nou an, dapre pawòl li di yo.
9 And Moses goeth up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
Moyiz moute sou mòn lan ansanm ak Arawon, Nadab, Abiyou ak swasanndis nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
10 and they see the God of Israel, and under His feet [is] as the white work of the sapphire, and as the substance of the heavens for purity;
Yo te wè Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Anba pye l', te gen yon bagay plat fèt ak bèl pyè kristal ble yo rele safi. Li te klè tankou syèl la lè pa gen yon ti nwaj menm ladan li.
11 and unto those of the sons of Israel who are near He hath not put forth His hand, and they see God, and eat and drink.
Seyè a pa t' fè chèf pèp Izrayèl yo anyen. Se konsa yo te wè Bondye. Aprè sa, yo manje epi yo bwè.
12 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Come up unto Me to the mount, and be there, and I give to thee the tables of stone, and the law, and the command, which I have written to direct them.'
Seyè a di Moyiz konsa: -Moute sou mòn lan bò kote m'. Rete la. m'a ba ou de ròch plat avèk lalwa ak regleman mwen te ekri sou yo pou fè levasyon pèp la.
13 And Moses riseth — Joshua his minister also — and Moses goeth up unto the mount of God;
Moyiz leve ansanm ak Jozye, adjwen li a, yo moute sou mòn Bondye a.
14 and unto the elders he hath said, 'Abide ye for us in this [place], until that we turn back unto you, and lo, Aaron and Hur [are] with you — he who hath matters doth come nigh unto them.'
Anvan Moyiz te ale, li di chèf fanmi yo: -Rete tann nou isit la jouk nou tounen. Men Arawon ak Our ap rete ak nou. Si yon moun bezwen regle yon pwoblèm, li mèt al jwenn yo.
15 And Moses goeth up unto the mount, and the cloud covereth the mount;
Moyiz moute sou mòn lan, epi nwaj kouvri mòn lan nèt.
16 and the honour of Jehovah doth tabernacle on mount Sinai, and the cloud covereth it six days, and He calleth unto Moses on the seventh day from the midst of the cloud.
Pouvwa Seyè a desann sou mòn Sinayi a. Nwaj kouvri mòn lan pandan sis jou. Sou setyèm jou a, Seyè a rete nan nwaj la, li rele Moyiz.
17 And the appearance of the honour of Jehovah [is] as a consuming fire on the top of the mount, before the eyes of the sons of Israel;
Pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm, pouvwa Seyè a te parèt tankou yon gwo dife ki t'ap boule sou tèt mòn lan.
18 and Moses goeth into the midst of the cloud, and goeth up unto the mount, and Moses is on the mount forty days and forty nights.
Moyiz antre nan mitan nwaj la, li moute sou mòn lan. Moyiz pase karant jou ak karant nwit sou mòn lan.
