Exodus 19
1 Ke len se meet in malem se aktolu tukun mwet Israel som liki facl Egypt, elos tuku nu yen mwesis Sinai.
In the third month, on the same day of the month that the Israelites had left the land of Egypt, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.
2 Elos som liki Rephidim, ac utyak nu yen mwesis Sinai, ac tulokunak lohm nuknuk selos sisken Fineol Sinai.
After they had set out from Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.
3 Ac Moses el fanyak nu fineol uh in osun nu sin God. LEUM GOD El pang nu sel fineol uh me, ac fahk nu sel tuh elan fahk nu sin mwet Israel, fwilin tulik natul Jacob:
Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, “This is what you are to tell the house of Jacob and explain to the sons of Israel:
4 “Kowos liye ma nga, LEUM GOD, tuh oru nu sin mwet Egypt, ac ke nga tuh srukkowosyak oana sie won eagle el ac tapukak ma fusr natul fin posohksok lal, ac nga uskowosme nu yuruk.
‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
5 Kowos fin akosyu ac liyaung wulela luk, kowos ac fah mwet luk sifacna. Faclu nufon ma luk, tuh kowos fah mwet solla luk.
Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.
6 Kowos sie mutunfacl sriyukla nu sik mukena, ac kowos fah kulansupweyu oana mwet tol. Moses, kom in fahk ma inge nu sin mwet Israel.”
And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”
7 Ouinge Moses el tufokla ac pangoneni mwet kol lun mwet uh nu sie, ac fahk nu selos ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel.
So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.
8 Na mwet nukewa tukeni topuk, “Kut fah oru ma nukewa ma LEUM GOD El fahk,” ac Moses el fahkak ma inge nu sin LEUM GOD.
And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.
9 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, “Nga fah tuku nu yurum ke sie pukunyeng matoltol, tuh mwet uh fah ku in lohng ke nga kaskas nu sum, ac elos fah lulalfongi kom ingela nu tok.” Moses el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD top lun mwet uh,
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.
10 ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Fahla nu yurin mwet uh ac fahk tuh elos in akmutalyalos sifacna misenge ac lutu. Elos enenu in ohlla nuknuk lalos
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
11 ac in akola nu ke len se aktolu. Ke len sac nga fah oatui nu Fineol Sinai, acn se ma mwet nukewa ku in liyeyu we.
and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
12 Akilenya sie masrol rauneak eol uh tuh mwet uh in tia alukela, ac fahk nu selos in tia fanyak nu fineol uh, ku tuku fototo nu kac. Kutena mwet fin longya eol uh, el ac fah anwuki.
And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.
13 Ac fah tatngal el ku pisrkiyuk el, ac in wangin poun mwet kahlilya. Ac orek ouinge nu sin kewana, mwet ac kosro — elos enenu na in anwuki. Tusruktu pacl se ukuk uh kas, na mwet uh ku in kalukyang nu ke eol uh.”
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows—whether man or beast, he must not live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”
14 Na Moses el oatume liki fineol uh, ac fahk nu sin mwet uh elos in akmutalyalos ac akola nu ke alu. Ke ma inge elos ohlla nuknuk lalos,
When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.
15 ac Moses el fahk nu selos, “Kowos in akola nu ke len se aktolu, ac kowos in tia oan yurin mutan ke len tolu inge.”
“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”
16 Ke lotutang in len se aktolu, oasr pulahl ac sarom, ac sie pukunyeng matoltol sikyak fineol uh, ac pusren mwe ukuk na yohk pusra lohngyuk. Mwet nukewa in nien aktuktuk uh elos rarrar ke sangeng.
On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the ram’s horn went out, so that all the people in the camp trembled.
17 Na Moses el pwanulosla liki nien aktuktuk selos in osun nu sin God, ac elos tu pe eol uh.
Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
18 Fineol Sinai nufon nukla ke kulasr, mweyen LEUM GOD El oatui nu fac ke e. Kulasr kac fosryak oana kulasr ke funyu lulap, ac eol soko ah nufon arulana kusrusryak.
Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.
19 Pusren mwe ukuk uh yokyokelik na. Moses el kaskas, ac God El topkol ke pulahl.
And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.
20 LEUM GOD El oatume nu fin mangon Fineol Sinai, ac pangnol Moses nu fin mangon eol uh. Moses el fanyak som
The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,
21 ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Oatula ac sensenkakin mwet uh in tia alukela masrol sac in tuku liyeyu. Elos fin oru, pus selos ac misa.
and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the LORD, lest many of them perish.
22 Finne mwet tol su tuku apkuran nu yuruk, elos enenu in akmutalyalos sifacna, mweyen elos fin tia, nga fah kaelos.”
Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”
23 Moses el fahk nu sin LEUM GOD, “Mwet uh tia ku in fanyak, mweyen kom sapkin nu sesr in akilen mutal lun eol uh, ac filiya sie masrol ah rauneak.”
But Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, for You solemnly warned us, ‘Put a boundary around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”
24 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Oatula ac usalu Aaron elan wi kom folok. Tusruktu mwet tol ac mwet uh fah tiana alukela masrol sac in fanyak nu yuruk. Elos fin oru, nga fah kaelos.”
And the LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”
25 Ouinge Moses el oatula nu yurin mwet uh ac fahkang ma LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sel.
So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
