Mose 2 24

1 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.

And he said to Moses: Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel, and you shall adore afar off.

2 Wò, Mose, koe ate ɖe ŋunye. Ɖo ŋku edzi be Israelvi bubuawo mekpɔ mɔ alia to la kura o.”

And Moses alone shall come up to the Lord, but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people come up with him.

3 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.”

So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: We will do all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken.

4 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.

And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord: and rising in the morning he built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 Le esia megbe la, eɖo Israelvi ɖekakpui aɖewo ɖa be woasa numevɔsa eye woatsɔ nyitsuwo awɔ akpedavɔsa na Yehowa.

And he sent young men of the children of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and sacrificed pacific victims of calves to the Lord.

6 Mose kɔ vɔsalã siawo ƒe ʋu ƒe afã ɖe zewo me, eye wòhlẽ afã mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu.

Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls: and the rest he poured upon the altar.

7 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.”

And taking the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people: and they said: All things that the Lord hath spoken we will do, we will be obedient.

8 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.”

And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he said: This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words.

9 Le esia megbe la, Mose, Aron, Nadab, Abihu kple Israel ƒe ametsitsi blaadreawo lia to la.

Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel went up:

10 Wokpɔ Israel ƒe Mawu la. Teƒe si wòtsi tsitre ɖo la dze abe safirkpe keklẽ siwo me kɔ abe dziŋgɔli me la ene.

And they saw the God of Israel: and under his feet as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as the heaven, when clear.

11 Togbɔ be Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo kpɔ Mawu hã la, metsrɔ̃ wo o. Emegbe la, woɖu nu kple wo nɔewo le eŋkume.

Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the children of Israel, that retired afar off, and they saw God, and they did eat and drink.

12 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.”

And the Lord said to Moses: Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandments which I have written: that thou mayst teach them.

13 Ale Mose kple eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ, Yosua lia Mawu ƒe to la.

Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into the mount of God,

14 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.”

Said to the ancients: Wait ye here till we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you: if any question shall arise, you shall refer it to them.

15 Mose lia to la, eye wòbu ɖe lilikpowo me le to la tame.

And when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount.

16 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.

And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud six days: and the seventh day he called him out of the midst of the cloud.

17 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.

And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire upon the top of the mount, in the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 Mose bu ɖe lilikpo si tsyɔ to la tame la me, eye wònɔ afi ma ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene.

And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights.
