Egzòd 24
1 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'.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders—and you are to worship at a distance.
2 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.
Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but the others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”
3 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.
When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”
4 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.
And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 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.
Then he sent out some young men of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD.
6 Moyiz pran mwatye nan san an, li mete l' nan ganmèl. Lòt mwatye a, li vide l' sou lòtèl la.
Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.
7 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'.
Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”
8 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.
So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”
9 Moyiz moute sou mòn lan ansanm ak Arawon, Nadab, Abiyou ak swasanndis nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
10 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.
and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.
11 Seyè a pa t' fè chèf pèp Izrayèl yo anyen. Se konsa yo te wè Bondye. Aprè sa, yo manje epi yo bwè.
But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.
12 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.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”
13 Moyiz leve ansanm ak Jozye, adjwen li a, yo moute sou mòn Bondye a.
So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God.
14 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.
And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute can go to them.”
15 Moyiz moute sou mòn lan, epi nwaj kouvri mòn lan nèt.
When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,
16 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.
and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud.
17 Pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm, pouvwa Seyè a te parèt tankou yon gwo dife ki t'ap boule sou tèt mòn lan.
And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites.
18 Moyiz antre nan mitan nwaj la, li moute sou mòn lan. Moyiz pase karant jou ak karant nwit sou mòn lan.
Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
