< Exodus 24 >
1 Mosi quoque dixit ascende ad Dominum tu et Aaron Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta senes ex Israhel et adorabitis procul
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 solusque Moses ascendet ad Dominum et illi non adpropinquabunt nec populus ascendet cum eo
Moses alone shall come near to God, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him."
3 venit ergo Moses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini atque iudicia responditque cunctus populus una voce omnia verba Domini quae locutus est faciemus
Moses came and told the people all the words of God, 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 scripsit autem Moses universos sermones Domini et mane consurgens aedificavit altare ad radices montis et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israhel
Moses wrote all the words of the LORD, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 misitque iuvenes de filiis Israhel et obtulerunt holocausta immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino vitulos
He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to God.
6 tulit itaque Moses dimidiam partem sanguinis et misit in crateras partem autem residuam fudit super altare
Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7 adsumensque volumen foederis legit audiente populo qui dixerunt omnia quae locutus est Dominus faciemus et erimus oboedientes
He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, "All that the LORD has spoken will we do, and be obedient."
8 ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum et ait hic est sanguis foederis quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his
Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you concerning all these words."
9 ascenderuntque Moses et Aaron Nadab et Abiu et septuaginta de senioribus Israhel
Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
10 et viderunt Deum Israhel sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini et quasi caelum cum serenum est
They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.
11 nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israhel misit manum suam videruntque Deum et comederunt ac biberunt
He did not lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
12 dixit autem Dominus ad Mosen ascende ad me in montem et esto ibi daboque tibi tabulas lapideas et legem ac mandata quae scripsi ut doceas eos
The LORD said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them."
13 surrexerunt Moses et Iosue minister eius ascendensque Moses in montem Dei
Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God's Mountain.
14 senioribus ait expectate hic donec revertamur ad vos habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum si quid natum fuerit quaestionis referetis ad eos
He said to the elders, "Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Look, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them."
15 cumque ascendisset Moses operuit nubes montem
Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai tegens illum nube sex diebus septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis
The glory of God settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
17 erat autem species gloriae Domini quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israhel
The appearance of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
18 ingressusque Moses medium nebulae ascendit in montem et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus
Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
