< 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.
He said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.
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.”
Moses alone shall come near to the LORD, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go 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.”
Moses came and told the people all the LORD’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which the LORD has 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.
Moses wrote all the LORD’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with 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.
He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to the LORD.
6 Mosis tinyere ọkara ọbara ehi ndị ahụ nʼime efere. Ma o fesara ọkara ọbara nke fọdụrụ nʼelu ebe ịchụ aja ahụ.
Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on 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.”
He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that the LORD has said, and be obedient.”
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.”
Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning 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 Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
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.
They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.
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.
He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
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.”
The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”
13 Mosis biliri, ya na Joshua onye na-agara ya ozi. Mosis nʼonwe ya rigokwara nʼelu ugwu Chineke.
Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.
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.”
He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”
15 Ngwangwa, Mosis rigoro nʼelu ugwu ahụ, oke igwe ojii kpuchiri ugwu ahụ niile,
Moses went up on 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.
The LORD’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.
17 Ma nʼebe ndị Izrel nọ, ebube Onyenwe anyị na-enwu dịka ọkụ na-achọ irechapụ ugwu ahụ.
The appearance of the LORD’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children 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.
Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
