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'.
And He said to Moses, “Come up to YHWH, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy from [the] elderly of Israel, and you have bowed yourselves far off”;
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.
and Moses has drawn near to YHWH by himself; and they do not draw near, and the people do 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.
And Moses comes in, and recounts to the people all the words of YHWH, and all the judgments, and all the people answer [with] one voice, and say, “All the words which YHWH has spoken we 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 writes all the words of YHWH, and rises early in the morning, and builds an altar under the hill, and twelve standing 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.
and he sends the youths of the sons of Israel, and they cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings to YHWH—calves.
6 Moyiz pran mwatye nan san an, li mete l' nan ganmèl. Lòt mwatye a, li vide l' sou lòtèl la.
And Moses takes half of the blood and puts [it] in basins, and he has sprinkled half of the blood 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'.
and he takes the Scroll of the Covenant, and proclaims [it] in the ears of the people, and they say, “All that which YHWH has spoken we do, and we obey.”
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.
And Moses takes the blood and sprinkles [it] on the people, and says, “Behold, the blood of the covenant which YHWH has made with you, concerning all these things.”
9 Moyiz moute sou mòn lan ansanm ak Arawon, Nadab, Abiyou ak swasanndis nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl la.
And Moses goes up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy from [the] elderly 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 see the God of Israel, and under His feet [is] as the work of a pavement of sapphire, and as the substance of the heavens for purity;
11 Seyè a pa t' fè chèf pèp Izrayèl yo anyen. Se konsa yo te wè Bondye. Aprè sa, yo manje epi yo bwè.
and He has not put forth His hand to those of the sons of Israel who are near, and they see God, and eat and drink.
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.
And YHWH says to Moses, “Come up to Me [on] the mountain and be there, and I give to you the tablets of stone, and the Law, and the command, which I have written to direct them.”
13 Moyiz leve ansanm ak Jozye, adjwen li a, yo moute sou mòn Bondye a.
And Moses rises—his minister Joshua also—and Moses goes up to 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 has said to the elderly, “Abide for us in this [place] until we return to you, and behold, Aaron and Hur [are] with you—he who has matters comes near to them.”
15 Moyiz moute sou mòn lan, epi nwaj kouvri mòn lan nèt.
And Moses goes up to the mountain, and the cloud covers the mountain;
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 YHWH dwells on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covers it [for] six days, and He calls to Moses on the seventh day from the midst of 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 appearance of the glory of YHWH [is] as a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the sons of Israel;
18 Moyiz antre nan mitan nwaj la, li moute sou mòn lan. Moyiz pase karant jou ak karant nwit sou mòn lan.
and Moses goes into the midst of the cloud, and goes up to the mountain, and Moses is on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
