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.

And unto Moses, he said—Come up unto Yahweh—thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, so shall ye bow yourselves down from afar.

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.”

And Moses alone shall draw near unto Yahweh, but, they shall not draw near, and, the people, shall not come up 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!”

So Moses came, and recounted to the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the regulations, and all the people responded with one voice and said, All the words which Yahweh hath spoken, will we do.

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.

Then wrote Moses all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar, under the mountain, and twelve pillars, for 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.

and he sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they caused to go up, ascending-sacrifices, —and slew peace-offerings to Yahweh, of oxen.

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.

Then took Moses half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood, dashed he over 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 took he the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people. And they said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do, and will hearken,

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.”

Then Moses took the blood, and dashed over the people, and said, Lo! the blood of the covenant which Yahweh hath solemnised with you, over all these words.

9 Alò, Moïse te pran Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, ak swasann-dis nan ansyen Israël yo pou monte.

Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;

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, —and under his feet, like a pavement of sapphire, and like the very heavens for brightness; and

11 Malgre Li pa t lonje men Li kont prens Israël sa yo. Yo te wè Bondye, yo te manje e yo te bwè.

against the nobles of the sons of Israel, put he not forth his hand, —so then they had vision of God, and did eat and drink,

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 said Yahweh unto Moses—Come thou up unto me in the mountain and remain thou there, —for I must give thee tables of stone and the law and the commandment, which I have written to direct them.

13 Alò, Moïse te leve avèk Josué, sèvitè li a, e Moïse te monte nan mòn Bondye a.

And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up into 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.”

but, unto the elders, he said—Tarry for us here, until we return unto you. And lo! Aaron and Hur, are with you, he that hath a cause, let him draw near unto them.

15 Alò Moïse te monte nan mòn nan, e nwaj la te kouvri mòn nan.

So then Moses wont up into the mountain, —and the cloud covered the mountain.

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.

And the glory of Yahweh rested upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days, —then called he unto Moses on the seventh day, out of the midst of 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.

And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, —in the sight of the sons of Israel.

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.

And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and ascended into the mountain. And it came to pass that Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
