Ọpụpụ 19
1 Nʼọnwa nke atọ, site nʼoge ndị Izrel hapụchara obodo Ijipt, nʼụbọchị ahụ, ha bịaruru ọzara Saịnaị.
In the third month, when the children of Israel had gone forth from the land of Egypt, the same day they came 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.
For they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount.
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 God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell 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.
Ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought 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,
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a special treasure to me above all people: 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 ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt 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 for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD 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 answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people to the LORD.
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, Lo, I come to thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told 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 to the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 jikerekwa nʼụbọchị nke atọ. Nʼihi na m ga-arịdata nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị nʼihu mmadụ niile.
And be ready for the third day: for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
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 thou shalt set bounds to the people all around, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up upon the mount, or touch the border of it: whoever toucheth the mount shall be surely 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.”
There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
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 mount to the people, and sanctified the people; 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 the third day: come not at your wives.
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 in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that were 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 brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the lower part of the mount.
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 was altogether in a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount trembled greatly.
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 when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by 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 Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mount; 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 the LORD said to Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
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 also, who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon 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 the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou didst charge us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, 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, Away, go down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
25 Ya mere, Mosis rịdakwuru ndị Izrel ga gwa ha.
So Moses went down to the people, and spoke to them.
