< Pukaana 19 >
1 A I ke kolu o ka malama o ka puka ana mai o na mamo a Iseraela mai loko mai o Aigupita, ia la no, hiki mai la lakou i ka waonakele o Sinai.
In the third month, on the same day of the month that the Israelites had left the land of Egypt, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.
2 A hele mai la lakou, mai Repidima mai, a hiki ma ka waonahele o Sinai, a hoomoana iho la lakou ma ka waonahele; malaila ka Iseraela i hoomoana ai ma kahi e pili ana i ka mauna.
After they had set out from Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.
3 Pii aku la o Mose i ke Akua, a hea mai la o Iehova ia ia mai ka mauna mai, me ka i ana mai, Penei oe e olelo aku ai i na pua a Iakoba, a e hai aku i na mamo a Iseraela;
Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, “This is what you are to tell the house of Jacob and explain to the sons of Israel:
4 Ua ike no oukou i na mea a'u i hana'i i ko Aigupita, i ko'u kaikai ana ia oukou ma na eheu o ka aeto, a lawe mai ia oukou io'u nei.
‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
5 A ina hoolohe io mai oukou i ko'u leo, a malama hoi i ko'u berita, alaila e lilo auanei oukou i waiwai no'u, mamua o na kanaka a pau; no ka mea, no'u no ka honua nei a pau:
Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.
6 E lilo no hoi oukou i aupuni kahuna pule no'u, a he lahuikanaka laa. Oia hoi na olelo au e hai aku ai i na mamo a Iseraela.
And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”
7 Hele ae la o Mose, a hea aku la i na lunakahiko o kanaka, a hoonoho iho la imua o lakou i keia mau olelo a pau a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.
8 Olelo pu mai la na kanaka a pau, i mai la, O na mea a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai, e hana makou ia mea. Hai aku la o Mose i na olelo a kanaka ia Iehova.
And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.
9 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Aia hoi, e hele mai ana au i ou nei maloko o ke ao panopano, i lohe na kanaka i ka'u kamailio ana me oe, a e manaoio mau loa mai ia oe. A hai aku la o Mose i na olelo a kanaka ia Iehova.
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.
10 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E hele oe i kanaka, e hoolaa ia lakou i keia la, a apopo; e holoi hoi lakou i ko lakou kapa.
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
11 E hoomakaukau, no ke kolu o ka la, no ka mea, i ke kolu o ka la, e iho mai ai o Iehova, imua o na maka o kanaka a pau, ma ka mauna o Sinai.
and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
12 A e kau iho oe i pale, no na kanaka a puni, a e i aku hoi, E malama oukou ia oukou iho, i ko oukou pii ana i ka mauna, a me ka pa ana i kona kihi: o ka mea e pa i ka mauna, he oiaio no e make ia.
And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.
13 Mai hoopa aku kekahi lima ia mea, no ka mea, he oiaio no, e hailukuia oia, a houia; ina he holoholona, a he kanaka, aole ia e ola: a i kani loihi ka pu, alaila e hele mai lakou i ka mauna.
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows—whether man or beast, he must not live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”
14 Iho iho la o Mose ilalo, mai ka mauna iho i kanaka; hoolaa iho la i kanaka; a holoi iho la lakou i ko lakou kapa.
When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.
15 I aku la ia i kanaka, E hoomakaukau oukou, no ke kolu o ka la; mai komo ae i na wahine.
“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”
16 A i ke kakahiaka o ke kolu o ka la, he hekili. a he uila, a he ao polohiwa ma ka mauna, a he leo no ka pu e kani ikaika loa ana; haalulu iho la na kanaka a pau ma. ko lakou wihi i hoomoana ai.
On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the ram’s horn went out, so that all the people in the camp trembled.
17 Kai mai la o Mose i kanaka mawaho o kahi a lakou e hoomoana ai, e halawai me ke Akua; a ku iho la lakou ma kahi malalo iho o ka mauna.
Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
18 Ma ka mauna a pau i Sinai, he uwahi, no ka mea, ua iho mai o Iehova maluna ona maloko o ke ahi: a punohu aku la kona uwahi, me he uwahi umu hao la, haalulu nui iho la ka mauna a pau.
Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.
19 A i ke kani loihi loa ana o ka pu, a ikaika nui ae la, olelo aku la o Mose, a pane mai la ka leo o ke Akua ia ia.
And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.
20 Iho mai la o Iehova maluna o ka mauna o Sinai, ma ke poo o ka mauna, a hea mai la o Iehova ia Mose e pii aku i ke poo o ka mauna; a pii aku la o Mose.
The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,
21 I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E iho oe ilalo, e kauoha aku i kanaka, o hemo mai lakou io Iehova nei, e nana, a haule lakou he nui loa.
and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the LORD, lest many of them perish.
22 A e huikala hoi na kahuna ia lakou iho, o ka poe e hookokoke ana ia Iehova, o poha aku o Iehova io lakou la.
Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”
23 I aku la o Mose ia Iehova, Aole e hiki na kanaka ke pii mai i ka mauna nei i Sinai: no ka mea, ua kauoha mai oe ia makou, ua i mai, E kau iho i pale a puni ka mauna, a e hookapu ia mea.
But Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, for You solemnly warned us, ‘Put a boundary around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”
24 I mai la o Iehova ia ia, O hele, e iho oe ilalo, a e pii hou mai oe, o oe, a me Aarona pu; aka, o na kahuna a me kanaka, mai hemo mai lakou, e pii mai io Iehova nei, o poha aku ia maluna o lakou.
And the LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”
25 Iho mai la o Mose ilalo i kanaka, a olelo aku la ia lakou.
So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
