Ọpụpụ 19
1 Nʼọnwa nke atọ, site nʼoge ndị Izrel hapụchara obodo Ijipt, nʼụbọchị ahụ, ha bịaruru ọzara Saịnaị.
In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai,
2 Ọ bụ site na Refidim ka ha sị bịaruo ọzara Saịnaị, mee ebe obibi ha nʼebe ahụ, nʼakụkụ ugwu Saịnaị.
and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encamps there 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 has gone up to God, and YHWH calls to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons 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 that which I have done to the Egyptians, and [how] I carry you on eagles’ wings and bring you 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 really listen to My voice, then you have kept My covenant, and have been a special treasure to Me more than all the peoples, for all the 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 are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these [are] the words which you speak to the sons of Israel.”
7 Mosis gara kpọkọta ndị okenye ndị Izrel, gwa ha okwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
And Moses comes, and calls for [the] elderly of the people, and sets before them all these words which YHWH has commanded him;
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 answer together and say, “All that YHWH has spoken we do”; and Moses returns the words of the people to YHWH.
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 YHWH says to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with you, and also believe in you for all time”; and Moses declares the words of the people to YHWH.
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 YHWH says to Moses, “Go to the people and you have sanctified them today and tomorrow, and they have washed their garments,
11 jikerekwa nʼụbọchị nke atọ. Nʼihi na m ga-arịdata nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị nʼihu mmadụ niile.
and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day YHWH comes down on Mount Sinai before the eyes of 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 have made a border [for] the people all around, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mountain or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mountain is certainly put to death;
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 does not come against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man—it does not live; in the prolonging of the ram’s horn they go up into 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 comes down from the mountain to the people, and sanctifies the people, and they wash their garments;
15 Mosis dọrọ ha aka na ntị sị ha, “Jikerenụ nʼụbọchị nke atọ. Nwoke na nwanyị enwekwala mmekọrịta ọbụla.”
and he says to the people, “Be prepared for the third day, do not come 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 comes to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the sound of a very strong horn; and all the people who [are] in the camp tremble.
17 Mosis duuru ndị mmadụ ahụ niile si nʼụlọ ikwu ha pụta gaa izute Chineke. Ha niile guzokwara nʼala ugwu ahụ.
And Moses brings out the people from the camp to meet God, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mountain,
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.
and Mount Sinai [is] wholly [in] smoke from the presence of YHWH, who has come down on it in fire, and its smoke goes up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mountain trembles exceedingly;
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 sound of the horn is going on, and [is] very strong; Moses speaks, and God answers 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 YHWH comes down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and YHWH calls for Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses goes 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through to YHWH to see, and many of them have fallen;
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 also the priests who are coming near to YHWH sanctify themselves, lest YHWH break forth on 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 says to YHWH, “The people [are] unable to come up to Mount Sinai, for You have protested to us, saying, Make a border [for] the mountain, then you have sanctified 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 YHWH says to him, “Go, descend, then you have come up, you and Aaron with you; and the priests and the people do not break through to come up to YHWH, lest He break forth on them.”
25 Ya mere, Mosis rịdakwuru ndị Izrel ga gwa ha.
And Moses goes down to the people and speaks to them.
