Ọpụpụ 24

1 Ọ gwara Mosis sị, “Rigokwute Onyenwe anyị, gị na Erọn, na Nadab, na Abihu, na mmadụ iri asaa site na ndị okenye Izrel. Ma unu ga-efe ofufe site nʼebe dị anya.

And unto Moses, he said—Come up unto Yahweh—thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, so shall ye bow yourselves down from afar.

2 Emesịa, ọ bụ naanị Mosis ga-abịarute Onyenwe anyị nso. Ndị nke ọzọ agaghị abịaru nso. Ndị mmadụ ndị ọzọ agaghịkwa eso ya rigota.”

And Moses alone shall draw near unto Yahweh, but, they shall not draw near, and, the people, shall not come up with him.

3 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis bịara gwa ndị Izrel okwu niile na iwu niile Onyenwe anyị nyere. Ha niile zaghachiri ya nʼotu olu sị, “Anyị ga-emezu ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kwuru.”

So Moses came, and recounted to the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the regulations, and all the people responded with one voice and said, All the words which Yahweh hath spoken, will we do.

4 Mosis deturu ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Nʼisi ụtụtụ echi ya, o biliri wuo ebe ịchụ aja na ndịda ugwu ahụ. O gwunyere ogidi nkume iri na abụọ nke nọchiri anya ebo iri na abụọ ụmụ Izrel.

Then wrote Moses all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar, under the mountain, and twelve pillars, for the twelve tribes of Israel:

5 Mosis zipụtara ụmụ okorobịa Izrel, ndị chụrụ aja nsure ọkụ ma werekwa ụmụ oke ehi chụọ aja udo nye Onyenwe anyị.

and he sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they caused to go up, ascending-sacrifices, —and slew peace-offerings to Yahweh, of oxen.

6 Mosis tinyere ọkara ọbara ehi ndị ahụ nʼime efere. Ma o fesara ọkara ọbara nke fọdụrụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.

Then took Moses half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood, dashed he over the altar:

7 Emesịa, Mosis guzoro nʼebe ahụ gụpụta na ntị mmadụ niile, ihe dị nʼAkwụkwọ Ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ. Mgbe ụmụ Izrel nụrụ ya, ha weere otu olu kwuo sị, “Anyị anụla, anyị ga-eme ihe niile Onyenwe anyị kwuru. Anyị ga-erube isi.”

then took he the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people. And they said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do, and will hearken,

8 Mgbe ahụ, Mosis weere ọbara ahụ dị nʼime efere, fesaa ya nʼahụ ndị ahụ niile, sị, “Nke a bụ ọbara ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ nke dị nʼetiti unu na Onyenwe anyị, dịka okwu niile ndị a si dị.”

Then Moses took the blood, and dashed over the people, and said, Lo! the blood of the covenant which Yahweh hath solemnised with you, over all these words.

9 Mosis rigoro nʼelu ugwu, ya na Erọn, na Nadab na Abihu, na mmadụ iri asaa site na ndị okenye Izrel.

Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;

10 Ha hụrụ Chineke nke Izrel. Nʼokpuru ụkwụ ya abụọ, e were ihe dịka ebe nzọkwasị ụkwụ nke e ji nkume safaia mee. Nkume ndị a na-enwukwa ezi onwunwu dịka mbara eluigwe.

and they saw the God of Israel, —and under his feet, like a pavement of sapphire, and like the very heavens for brightness; and

11 Ọ bụ ezie na ndị okenye Izrel hụrụ Chineke anya ma ọ laghị ha nʼiyi. Kama o mere ka ha nọọ nʼihu ya rie, ṅụọ.

against the nobles of the sons of Israel, put he not forth his hand, —so then they had vision of God, and did eat and drink,

12 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Rigota, bịakwute m nʼelu ugwu, nọdụkwa ebe ahụ, maka na aga m enye gị mbadamba nkume nke iwu na ụkpụrụ dị na ya, nke m ji aka m dee maka i ji kuziere ha.”

Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Come thou up unto me in the mountain and remain thou there, —for I must give thee tables of stone and the law and the commandment, which I have written to direct them.

13 Mosis biliri, ya na Joshua onye na-agara ya ozi. Mosis nʼonwe ya rigokwara nʼelu ugwu Chineke.

And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up into the mountain of God;

14 Ọ gwara ndị okenye Izrel okwu sị, “Cherenụ anyị nʼebe a tutu ruo mgbe anyị ga-alaghachikwute unu. Unu na Erọn na Hua nọ, onye ọbụla nwere nsogbu jekwuru ha.”

but, unto the elders, he said—Tarry for us here, until we return unto you. And lo! Aaron and Hur, are with you, he that hath a cause, let him draw near unto them.

15 Ngwangwa, Mosis rigoro nʼelu ugwu ahụ, oke igwe ojii kpuchiri ugwu ahụ niile,

So then Moses wont up into the mountain, —and the cloud covered the mountain.

16 ebube Onyenwe anyị kpuchikwara elu ugwu ahụ. Ọ bụ ụbọchị isii ka igwe ojii kpuchiri ugwu ahụ. Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼetiti igwe ojii ahụ kpọọ Mosis oku.

And the glory of Yahweh rested upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days, —then called he unto Moses on the seventh day, out of the midst of the cloud.

17 Ma nʼebe ndị Izrel nọ, ebube Onyenwe anyị na-enwu dịka ọkụ na-achọ irechapụ ugwu ahụ.

And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, —in the sight of the sons of Israel.

18 Mosis banyere nʼime igwe ojii ahụ mgbe ọ na-arịgo ugwu ahụ. Ọ nọgidere nʼelu ugwu ahụ iri ụbọchị anọ, ehihie na abalị.

And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and ascended into the mountain. And it came to pass that Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
