Ọpụpụ 19
1 Nʼọnwa nke atọ, site nʼoge ndị Izrel hapụchara obodo Ijipt, nʼụbọchị ahụ, ha bịaruru ọzara Saịnaị.
And in the third month of the departure of the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, they came into the wilderness of Sina.
2 Ọ bụ site na Refidim ka ha sị bịaruo ọzara Saịnaị, mee ebe obibi ha nʼebe ahụ, nʼakụkụ ugwu Saịnaị.
And they departed from Raphidin, and came into the wilderness of Sina, and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
3 Mosis rigooro nʼelu ugwu ahụ izute Chineke. Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼelu ugwu ahụ kpọ Mosis oku sị ya, “Otu a ka ị ga-esi gwa ụlọ Jekọb okwu. Ị ga-akọrọ ụmụ Izrel:
And Moses went up to the mount of God, and God called him out of the mountain, saying, These things shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report them to the children of Israel.
4 ‘Unu onwe unu ahụla ihe m mere ndị Ijipt, hụkwa otu m siri buru unu na nku ugo, si otu a, dọtara unu onwe m.
You have seen all that I have done to the Egyptians, and I took you up as upon eagles' wings, and I brought you near to myself.
5 Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụrụ na unu ga-erubere m isi nke ọma ma debe ọgbụgba ndụ m, unu ga-abụ ihe onwunwe nke m dị oke ọnụahịa. Nʼezie, ụwa niile bụ nke m,
And now if you will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is mine.
6 ma unu ga-abụrụ m alaeze ndị nchụaja, na mba dị nsọ.’ Okwu ndị a ka ị ga-agwa ụmụ Izrel.”
And you shall be to me a royal priesthood and a holy nation: these words shall you speak to the children of Israel.
7 Mosis gara kpọkọta ndị okenye ndị Izrel, gwa ha okwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
And Moses came and called the elders of the people, and he set before them all these words, which God appointed them.
8 Ndị mmadụ niile a jikwa otu olu zaghachi ya sị, “Ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị kwuru ka anyị ga-eme.” Mosis gwara Onyenwe anyị ihe niile ndị Izrel kwuru.
And all the people answered with one accord, and said, All things that God has spoken, we will do and listen to: and Moses reported these words to God.
9 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Lee, agaje m izute gị nʼime igwe ojii gbara ọchịchịrị. Achọrọ m ka ụmụ Izrel niile were ntị ha nụrụ mgbe m ga-agwa gị okwu, ọzọkwa, ka ha kwerekwa na gị ruo mgbe niile.” Mosis gwara ndị Izrel niile okwu nke Onyenwe anyị gwara ya.
And the Lord said to Moses, Behold! I come to you in a pillar of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to you, and may believe you for ever: and Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord.
10 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu ọzọ sị, “Rịdakwuru ndị m, doo ha nsọ taa na echi. Nʼihi na nke a ga-abụ nkwado ha izute m. Ka ha saa uwe ha mmiri,
And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and solemnly charge the people, and sanctify them today and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments.
11 jikerekwa nʼụbọchị nke atọ. Nʼihi na m ga-arịdata nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị nʼihu mmadụ niile.
And let them be ready against the third day, for on the third day the Lord will descend upon mount Sina before all the people.
12 Ị ga-akpa oke nʼebe ha na-agaghị agafe. Nye ha iwu si ha, ‘Kpacharanụ anya ka unu ghara ịbịa ugwu ahụ nso, maọbụ metụ ala ugwu ahụ aka. Nʼihi na onye ọ bụla metụrụ ugwu ahụ aka aghaghị ịnwụ.’
And you shall separate the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that you go not up into the mountain, nor touch any part of it: every one that touches the mountain shall surely die.
13 Agaghị emetụ onye mmebi iwu ahụ aka, kama, a ga-eji nkume tugbuo ya, maọbụ e were àkụ gbagbuo ya, maọbụ mmadụ maọbụ anụmanụ, ọ gaghị adị ndụ. Mmadụ ọbụla agaghị abịaru ugwu ahụ nso, ruo mgbe ha nụrụ opi nke a ga-afụ. Mgbe ahụ, ha nwere ike bịa nso ugwu ahụ.”
A hand shall not touch it, for [every one that touches] shall be stoned with stones or shot through with a dart, whether beast or whether man, it shall not live: when the voices and trumpets and cloud depart from off the mountain, they shall come up on the mountain.
14 Ya mere, Mosis si nʼugwu ahụ rịdakwuru ụmụ Izrel. O doo ndị mmadụ ahụ nsọ. Ha niile ji mmiri saa uwe ha.
And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified them, and they washed their clothes.
15 Mosis dọrọ ha aka na ntị sị ha, “Jikerenụ nʼụbọchị nke atọ. Nwoke na nwanyị enwekwala mmekọrịta ọbụla.”
And he said to the people, Be ready: for three days come not near to a woman.
16 Mgbe o ruru nʼụtụtụ ụbọchị nke atọ ahụ, oke igwe ojii kpuchiri elu ugwu ahụ. Amụma malitere na-egbuke, egbe eluigwe malitekwara ịgba. Nʼikpeazụ, opi ike dara. Mmadụ niile tụrụ egwu, makwa jijiji.
And it came to pass on the third day, as the morning drew near, there were voices and lightnings and a dark cloud on mount Sina: the voice of the trumpet sounded loud, and all the people in the camp trembled.
17 Mosis duuru ndị mmadụ ahụ niile si nʼụlọ ikwu ha pụta gaa izute Chineke. Ha niile guzokwara nʼala ugwu ahụ.
And Moses led the people forth out of the camp to meet God, and they stood by under the camp.
18 Mgbe ahụ, anwụrụ ọkụ kpuchiri ugwu Saịnaị. Ma lee! Onyenwe anyị rịdatara dịka ire ọkụ nʼelu ugwu ahụ. Anwụrụ ọkụ rigoro elu dịka anwụrụ ọkụ nke ọhịa na-ere ọkụ. Ala ọma jijiji dị ukwuu dakwasịkwara ugwu ahụ.
The mount of Sina was altogether on a smoke, because God had descended upon it in fire; and the smoke went up as the smoke of a furnace, and the people were exceedingly amazed.
19 Mgbe opi ike ahụ na-ada ike ike, Mosis malitere ịgwa Chineke okwu. Chineke zaghachiri Mosis okwu site nʼolu dara ụda dịka egbe eluigwe.
And the sounds of the trumpet were waxing very much louder. Moses spoke, and God answered him with a voice.
20 Onyenwe anyị rịdatara bịaruo nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị. Ọ gwara Mosis ka ọ rịgota bịa zute ya. Mosis rigoro nʼelu ugwu ahụ ijekwuru Chineke.
And the Lord came down upon mount Sina on the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Rịda gaa dọọ ndị mmadụ ahụ aka na ntị ka ha ghara ịgafe oke ala ahụ bịaruo nso ịhụ Onyenwe anyị anya ka ha ghara ịla nʼiyi.
And God spoke to Moses, saying, Go down, and solemnly charge the people, lest at any time they draw near to God to gaze, and a multitude of them fall.
22 Ọ bụladị ndị nchụaja ndị chọrọ ịbịaru Onyenwe anyị nso aghaghị ido onwe ha nsọ. Ma ọ bụghị otu a, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ha niile nwụọ.”
And let the priests that draw near to the Lord God sanctify themselves, destroy some of them.
23 Mosis zaghachiri Onyenwe anyị sị, “Ndị mmadụ agaghị arịgota nʼugwu Saịnaị nʼihi na gị onwe gị adọọla anyị aka na ntị sị, ‘Kpaanụ oke gburugburu ugwu a, doo ya nsọ.’”
And Moses said to God, The people will not be able to approach to the mount of Sina, for you have solemnly charged us, saying, Set bounds to the mountain and sanctify it.
24 Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị: “Gbada gaa kpọgota Erọn ka gị na ya soro rigota nʼelu ugwu a. Ma lezie anya ka ndị nchụaja na ndị Izrel ghara irigota nʼebe a ịbịakwute Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ bụghị otu a, ọ ga-eji ike laa ha nʼiyi.”
And the Lord said to him, Go, descend, and come up you and Aaron with you; but let not the priests and the people force their way to come up to God, lest the Lord destroy some of them.
25 Ya mere, Mosis rịdakwuru ndị Izrel ga gwa ha.
And Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
