Pukaana 24
1 I MAI la oia ia Mose, E pii mai oe io Iehova nei, o oe, a me Aarona, a me Nadaba, a me Abihu, a me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela he kanahiku; a e hoomana oukou ma kahi mamao aku.
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 A o Mose wale no ka mea hele mai a kokoke io Iehova nei: aka, o lakou aole hele mai a kokoke; aole hoi e pii pu na kanaka me ia.
Only Moses may approach the Lord—the others must not come near. The people may not go up the mountain with him.”
3 Hoi ae la o Mose, a hai aku la i kanaka i na olelo a pau a Iehova, a me na kanawai a pau; hooho mai la na kanaka a pau me ka leo kahi, i mai la, O na olelo a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai, e hana no makou.
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 A kahakaha iho la o Mose i na olelo a pau a Iehova, a ala'e la i kakahiaka nui, a kukulu iho la i kuahu malalo o ka mauna, a me na kia he umikumamalua, e like me na ohana he umikumamalua o ka Iseraela.
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 A hoouna ae la ia i mau kanaka ui o na mamo a Iseraela, na lakou i mohai aku i na mahaikuni, no Iehova, a kaumaha aku no hoi lakou i mau bipi kane i mohai hoomalu.
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 A lawe iho la o Mose i ka hapalua o ke koko, a waiho aku la maloko o na kiaha, a kapipi iho la ia i kekahi hapalua o ke koko maluna o ke kuahu.
Moses put half of the blood into bowls, and sprinkled the other half on the altar.
7 A lawe iho la ia i ka buke o ka berita, a heluhelu ma na pepeiao o na kanaka. Olelo aku la lakou, E hana no makou i na mea a pau a Iehova i olelo mai ai, a e hoolohe no.
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 A lawe ae la o Mose i ke koko, a kapipi iho la maluna o na kanaka, olelo mai la, Aia hoi ke koko o ka berita a Iehova i hana mai ai me oukou no keia mau olelo a pau.
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 Alaila, pii aku la o Mose, a me Aarona, a me Nadaba, a me Abihu, a me na lunakahiko o ka Iseraela.
Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders climbed up the mountain,
10 A ike aku la lakou i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a malalo iho o kona mau wawae he mea me he sapeiro ka aiai, e like hoi me ke kino o na lani ke kalae.
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 Aole ia i kau mai i kona lima maluna o na luna o na mamo o ka Iseraela. A ike no lakou i ke Akua, a ai no, a inu no hoi.
But God did not harm the leaders of Israel—they saw him, and they ate and drank a sacred meal.
12 Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Mose, E hele mai oe io'u nei i ka mauna, a e noho malaila; a e haawi aku au ia oe i pohaku papa, me ke kanawai, a me na kauoha a'u i palapala ai, i ao aku oe ia mea.
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 Ku ae la o Mose iluna, a me kana kauwa o Iosua: a pii aku la o Mose i ka mauna o ke Akua.
So Moses left with Joshua his attendant and climbed up the mountain of God.
14 Olelo iho la ia i na lunakahiko, E kakali oukou no maua, a hoi mai maua ia oukou: aia hoi, me oukou o Aarona haua me Hura; a o ka mea loaa kahi pilikia, e hele ae ia io laua la.
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 Pii aku la o Mose i ka mauna, a uhi mai la ka ohu i ka mauna.
As Moses climbed up on the mountain, the cloud covered it
16 Puwa mai la ka nani a Iehova maluna o ka mauna i Sinai, a uhi mai la ka ohu maluna iho i na la eono; a i ka hiku o ka la hea mai la oia ia Mose, maloko mai o ka ohu.
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 I na maka o na mamo a Iseraela, i ka nana ana i ka nani o Iehova, ua like ia me ke ahi e ai ana ma ke poo o ka mauna.
To the Israelites the Lord's glory looked like a burning fire on the top of the mountain.
18 Hele aku la o Mose iloko pono o ka ohu, a pii aku la i ka mauna, a malaila no o Mose ma ka mauna hookahi kanaha ao, hookahi kanaha po.
Moses went into the cloud as he climbed up on the mountain, and he stayed on the mountain for forty days and nights.
