Okuva 19
1 Mu mwezi ogwokusatu abaana ba Isirayiri nga bavudde mu Misiri, ne batuuka mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi.
In the third month after the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 Kubanga baali basitudde okuva mu Lefidimu ne bayingira Eddungu lya Sinaayi. Abayisirayiri ne basimba eweema zaabwe mu ddungu omwo mu maaso g’olusozi Sinaayi.
And when they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mount.
3 Awo Musa n’ayambuka eri Katonda; Mukama n’amuyita ng’asinziira ku lusozi ng’agamba nti, “Bino by’onoogamba ennyumba ya Yakobo, by’onootegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri nti,
And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 ‘Mwalaba bye nakola Abamisiri, mmwe ne mbasitulira ku biwaawaatiro by’empungu n’embeereetera gye ndi.
Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself.
5 Kale, singa mugondera eddoboozi lyange awatali kwerekeramu, ne mukuuma endagaano yange, mulibeera eggwanga lyange ery’enjawulo egganzi mu mawanga gonna, kubanga ensi yonna yange.
Now therefore, if ye will hearken unto My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own treasure from among all peoples; for all the earth is Mine;
6 Munaabeeranga obwakabaka bwange obwa bakabona, era eggwanga ettukuvu.’ Ebyo bye bigambo by’ojja okutegeeza abaana ba Isirayiri.”
and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.'
7 Awo Musa n’akomawo, n’ayita abakulembeze b’abantu n’abategeeza ebigambo ebyo byonna Mukama bye yamulagira.
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.
8 Abantu bonna ne baddiramu wamu nti, “Ebyo byonna Mukama by’agambye, tujja kubikola.” Musa n’ategeeza Mukama ng’abantu bwe baayogera.
And all the people answered together, and said: 'All that the LORD hath spoken we will do.' And Moses reported the words of the people unto the LORD.
9 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Nzija kujja gy’oli mu kire ekikutte, abantu bawulire nga njogera naawe, bakukkirizenga era bakwesigenga ennaku zonna.” Musa n’ategeeza Mukama abantu bye baayogera.
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee for ever.' And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
10 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Genda eri abantu, obatukuze leero n’enkya. Bagambe booze engoye zaabwe,
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments,
11 ku lunaku olwokusatu babeere beetegefu, kubanga ku lunaku olwo Mukama alikka ku lusozi Sinaayi ng’Abayisirayiri bonna balaba.
and be ready against the third day; for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 Abayisirayiri bakugire n’olukomera okwetooloola olusozi, obagambe nti, ‘Mwekuume muleme okwambuka ku lusozi oba okulukwatako we lutandikira. Anaalukwatako ajja kuttibwa.
And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying: Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it; whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death;
13 Tajja kukwatibwako, wabula ajja kukubirwa ddala amayinja oba kufumitibwa. Omuntu tajja kulama, n’ebisolo tewaabeewo kirama.’ Akagombe bwe kanaamala okuvugira akabanga, olwo abantu ne balyoka bajja awali olusozi.”
no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live; when the ram's horn soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.'
14 Awo Musa n’ava ku lusozi n’aserengeta eri abantu, n’abatukuza ne bayoza engoye zaabwe.
And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their garments.
15 N’abagamba nti, “Mwetegekere olunaku olwokusatu, ne bakyala bammwe temubasemberera.”
And he said unto the people: 'Be ready against the third day; come not near a woman.'
16 Awo ku lunaku olwokusatu ku nkya ne waba okubwatuka n’okumyansa, n’ekire ekikutte ku lusozi, n’eddoboozi ly’akagombe ery’omwanguka ennyo; abantu bonna abaali mu lusiisira n’okukankana ne bakankana.
And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of a horn exceeding loud; and all the people that were in the camp trembled.
17 Musa n’aggya abantu mu lusiisira n’abaleeta basisinkane Katonda; ne bayimirira wansi w’olusozi.
And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 Olusozi Sinaayi ne lubikkibwa omukka; kubanga Mukama yalukkako mu muliro. Omukka ne gunyooka nga gwambuka ng’oguva mu kyoto, n’olusozi lwonna ne lukankana nnyo.
Now mount Sinai was altogether on smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 Eddoboozi ly’akagombe bwe lyeyongera okuvuga n’omwanguka ogw’amaanyi, Musa n’ayogera, ne Katonda n’amwanukula n’eddoboozi ery’okubwatuka.
And when the voice of the horn waxed louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 Awo Mukama n’akka ku ntikko y’Olusozi Sinaayi. Mukama n’ayita Musa agende ku ntikko y’olusozi; Musa n’alinnya.
And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount; and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
21 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Serengeta eri abantu obalabule baleme kuwaguza okujja okutunula ku Mukama, abantu bangi baleme kuzikirira.
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 Ne bakabona, abasemberera Mukama, nabo basaana beetukuze, kubanga Mukama ayinza okubasaanyaawo.”
And let the priests also, that come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.'
23 Musa n’addamu Mukama nti, “Abantu tebasobola kwambuka ku Lusozi Sinaayi, kubanga ggwe wennyini watulagira nti, ‘Muteekeewo akakomera okwetooloola olusozi, lusigale lwokka nga lutukuvu.’”
And Moses said unto 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 Mukama n’alagira Musa nti, “Serengeta oleete Alooni; naye bakabona n’abantu tobaganya kuwaguza kujja kwambuka eri Mukama, kubanga ayinza okubasaanyaawo.”
And the LORD said unto him: 'Go, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest He break forth upon them.'
25 Bw’atyo Musa n’aserengeta mu bantu n’abategeeza.
So Moses went down unto the people, and told them.
