Egzòd 24
1 Alò, Li te di a Moïse: “Vin monte vè SENYÈ a, ou menm avèk Aaron, Nadab, Abihu avèk swasann-dis nan ansyen Israël yo, e nou va adore a yon distans.
The Lord told Moses, “Come up to the Lord—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders. You are to worship at a distance.
2 Men se sèl Moïse k ap vin toupre SENYÈ a, men yo menm p ap vin pre. Pèp la p ap monte avèk li.”
Only Moses may approach the Lord—the others must not come near. The people may not go up the mountain with him.”
3 Alò Moïse te vin rakonte a pèp la tout pawòl a SENYÈ a yo, avèk tout òdonans yo; epi tout pèp la te reponn avèk yon sèl vwa. Yo te di: “Tout pawòl sa yo ke SENYÈ a pale, nou va fè yo!”
Moses went and told the people all the Lord's instructions and regulations. They all responded together: “We will do everything the Lord says!”
4 Moïse te ekri tout pawòl SENYÈ a yo. Konsa, li te leve granmmaten e li te bati yon lotèl nan pye mòn nan avèk douz pilye pou douz tribi Israël yo.
Moses wrote down everything the Lord had said. He got up early the following morning and built an altar at the bottom of the mountain, and set up twelve pillars for each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Li te voye jèn mesye nan fis Israël yo, yo te ofri ofrann brile e yo te fè sakrifis jèn towo kòm ofrann lapè bay SENYÈ a.
Then he sent out some young Israelite men who went and offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the Lord.
6 Moïse te pran mwatye nan san an. Li te mete li nan basen yo, e lòt mwatye san an li te aspèje li sou lotèl la.
Moses put half of the blood into bowls, and sprinkled the other half on the altar.
7 Epi li te pran liv akò a, e li te li li nan zòrèy a tout pèp la. Epi yo te di: “Tout sa ke SENYÈ a pale, nou va fè yo, e nou va obeyi yo.”
Then he picked up the Book of the Agreement and read it to the people. They replied, “We will do everything the Lord says. We will obey.”
8 Alò, Moïse te pran san an. Li te aspèje li sou pèp la. Li te di: “Gade byen san akò a, ke SENYÈ a te fè avèk nou selon tout pawòl sa yo.”
So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the agreement that the Lord has made with you following these terms.”
9 Alò, Moïse te pran Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, ak swasann-dis nan ansyen Israël yo pou monte.
Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders climbed up the mountain,
10 Yo te wè Bondye Israël la. Anba pye li, te parèt yon choz tankou yon pave ki fèt an safì, klè tankou syèl la menm.
and they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a tiled pavement made of lapis lazuli, as clear blue as the sky itself.
11 Malgre Li pa t lonje men Li kont prens Israël sa yo. Yo te wè Bondye, yo te manje e yo te bwè.
But God did not harm the leaders of Israel—they saw him, and they ate and drank a sacred meal.
12 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Vin monte vè Mwen nan mòn nan e rete la, epi Mwen va bay ou tab wòch yo avèk lalwa ak kòmandman ke M te ekri pou enstwi yo.”
Then the Lord told Moses, “Come up the mountain to me, and stay here, so I can give you the stone tablets, with the instructions and commands I have written for them to learn.”
13 Alò, Moïse te leve avèk Josué, sèvitè li a, e Moïse te monte nan mòn Bondye a.
So Moses left with Joshua his attendant and climbed up the mountain of God.
14 Men a ansyen yo li te di: “Tann isit la pou nou jis lè nou retounen kote nou. Epi gade byen, Aaron avèk Hur isit avèk nou. Nenpòt moun ki genyen yon pwosè lalwa kapab pwoche yo.”
He told the elders, “Stay here and wait for us to return. Aaron and Hur are with you. If anyone has a problem, they can talk with them.”
15 Alò Moïse te monte nan mòn nan, e nwaj la te kouvri mòn nan.
As Moses climbed up on the mountain, the cloud covered it
16 Glwa SENYÈ a te rete sou Mòn Sinai a, e nwaj la te kouvri li pandan sis jou. Nan setyèm jou a, Li te rele Moïse soti nan mitan nwaj la.
The Lord's glory came down on Mount Sinai, covering it for six days. On the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from inside the cloud.
17 Nan zye a fis Israël yo, aparans glwa SENYÈ a te tankou yon dife ki t ap ravaje sou tèt mòn nan.
To the Israelites the Lord's glory looked like a burning fire on the top of the mountain.
18 Moïse te antre nan mitan nwaj la pandan li te monte sou mòn nan. Konsa, Moïse te rete sou mòn nan pandan karant jou ak karant nwit.
Moses went into the cloud as he climbed up on the mountain, and he stayed on the mountain for forty days and nights.
