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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come to me, up [on top of this mountain], you and Aaron and [his sons] Nadab and Abihu. Also [take along] 70 of the Israeli elders/leaders. While you are still some distance [from the top of the mountain], prostrate yourselves [on the ground] and worship me.
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.
Moses, [I will allow] you alone to come near to me. The others must not come near, and the [rest of the] people must not come up the mountain.”
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/I went and told the people everything that Yahweh had said and all that he had commanded. The people all replied together, saying, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us [to do].”
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.
Then Moses/I wrote down everything that Yahweh had commanded. Early the next morning Moses/I built a [stone] altar. He/I also set up twelve stones, one for each of the Israeli tribes.
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.
He/I also selected some young men. They burned sacrifices to Yahweh and they also sacrificed some cattle [that they did not burn completely], for the purpose of maintaining fellowship with Yahweh.
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/I took half of the blood of the animals that were slaughtered and put it in bowls. The other half of the blood [he/I] threw/splashed against 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/I took the scroll on which he/I had written [everything that Yahweh had commanded in] the agreement that he had made, and he/I read it [aloud], while all the people were listening. Then all the people said, “We will do all that Yahweh has told us to do. We will obey [everything].”
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.
Then Moses/I took the blood [that was in the bowls] and threw/splashed it on the people. He/I said, “This is the blood [that (confirms/puts into effect)] the agreement that Yahweh made with you when he gave you all these commands.”
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/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went 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/we saw God, the one whom the Israeli people worship. Under his feet was something like a pavement [made of expensive blue stones called] sapphires. They were as clear as the sky is [when there are no clouds].
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.
God did not harm [MTY] those Israeli elders/leaders [because of their having seen him]. They saw God, and they ate and drank together! [Then we all went back down the mountain].
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 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come up to me [again] on [top of this] mountain. While you are here, I will give you [two] stone slabs on which I have written all the laws [DOU] that I have given to you to instruct/teach [the people].”
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/I told the elders, “Stay here [with the other people] until we return! Do not forget that Aaron and Hur will be with you. So if anyone has a dispute [while I am gone], he can go to those two men.” Then Moses/I went with his/my servant Joshua [part of the way] up the mountain that [was dedicated to] 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.
15 Pii aku la o Mose i ka mauna, a uhi mai la ka ohu i ka mauna.
Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
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 (glory/brilliant light) of Yahweh came down on the mountain and covered it for six days. On the seventh day, Yahweh called to Moses/me from the middle of 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.
When the Israeli people [looked at] the top of the mountain, the glory of Yahweh was like a big fire that was burning [there].
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/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
