< Thaama 24 >

1 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,
And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, you and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.
2 no Musa wiki ũgaakuhĩrĩria Jehova; acio angĩ matigooke hakuhĩ. Nao andũ acio angĩ a Isiraeli matikambate nawe.”
And Moses alone shall draw near to God; and they shall not draw near, and the people shall not come up with them.
3 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.”
And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the words which the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient.
4 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.
And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and [set up] twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Ningĩ agĩtũma aanake amwe a Isiraeli, nao makĩruta magongona ma njino, na magĩthĩnja tũtegwa tũrĩ igongona rĩa ũiguano kũrĩ Jehova.
And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered whole burnt offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a peace-offering to God.
6 Musa akĩoya nuthu ya thakame yatuo akĩmĩĩkĩra mbakũri-inĩ, na nuthu ĩrĩa ĩngĩ akĩmĩminjaminjĩria kĩgongona kĩu.
And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar.
7 Ningĩ akĩoya Ibuku rĩa Kĩrĩkanĩro, na akĩrĩthomera andũ. Nao andũ magĩĩtĩkanĩria, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgwĩka ũrĩa wothe Jehova oigĩte; nĩtũgwathĩka.”
And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, All things whatever the Lord has spoken we will do and listen therein.
8 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.”
And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words.
9 Musa na Harũni, na Nadabu na Abihu hamwe na athuuri acio mĩrongo mũgwanja a Isiraeli makĩambata,
And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel.
10 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.
And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood; and under his feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance of the firmament of heaven in its purity.
11 No Jehova ndaigana kũhũũra atongoria acio a Isiraeli; nĩmoonire Ngai, na makĩrĩa na makĩnyua.
And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and they appeared in the place of God, and did eat and drink.
12 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.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give you the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws.
13 Ningĩ Musa akiumagara marĩ na mũteithĩrĩria wake Joshua, nake Musa akĩambata kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ngai.
And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the mount of God.
14 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.”
And to the elders they said, Rest there till we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Or are with you: if any man have a cause to be tried, let them go to them.
15 Rĩrĩa Musa aambatire kĩrĩma-inĩ, itu rĩkĩhumbĩra kĩrĩma,
And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 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.
And the glory of God came down upon the mount Sina, and the cloud covered it six days; and the Lord called Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud.
17 andũ a Isiraeli moonaga riiri wa Jehova ũtariĩ ta mwaki wa kũniinana ũrĩ kĩrĩma igũrũ.
And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top of the mountain, before the children of Israel.
18 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Musa agĩtoonya itu-inĩ o akĩambataga kĩrĩma. Agĩikara kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, ũtukũ na mũthenya.
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain, and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
