Okuva 19
1 Mu mwezi ogwokusatu abaana ba Isirayiri nga bavudde mu Misiri, ne batuuka mu Ddungu lya Sinaayi.
In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come 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 they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there 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 hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, 'Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel,
4 ‘Mwalaba bye nakola Abamisiri, mmwe ne mbasitulira ku biwaawaatiro by’empungu n’embeereetera gye ndi.
Ye — ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and I bear you on eagles' wings, and bring you in 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.
'And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the 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 — ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these [are] the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.'
7 Awo Musa n’akomawo, n’ayita abakulembeze b’abantu n’abategeeza ebigambo ebyo byonna Mukama bye yamulagira.
And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath 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 answer together and say, 'All that Jehovah hath spoken we do;' and Moses returneth the words of the people unto Jehovah.
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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, I am coming unto thee in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with thee, and also believe in thee to the age;' and Moses declareth the words of the people unto Jehovah.
10 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Genda eri abantu, obatukuze leero n’enkya. Bagambe booze engoye zaabwe,
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go unto the people; and thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have washed their garments,
11 ku lunaku olwokusatu babeere beetegefu, kubanga ku lunaku olwo Mukama alikka ku lusozi Sinaayi ng’Abayisirayiri bonna balaba.
and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day doth Jehovah come down before the eyes of all the people, on 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 hast made a border [for] the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mount, or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mount is certainly 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.”
a hand cometh not against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man it liveth not; in the drawing out of the jubilee cornet they go up into the mount.'
14 Awo Musa n’ava ku lusozi n’aserengeta eri abantu, n’abatukuza ne bayoza engoye zaabwe.
And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;
15 N’abagamba nti, “Mwetegekere olunaku olwokusatu, ne bakyala bammwe temubasemberera.”
and he saith unto the people, 'Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto 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 cometh to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud, on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet very strong; and all the people who [are] in the camp do tremble.
17 Musa n’aggya abantu mu lusiisira n’abaleeta basisinkane Katonda; ne bayimirira wansi w’olusozi.
And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower 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.
and mount Sinai [is] wholly a smoke from the presence of Jehovah, who hath come down on it in fire, and its smoke goeth up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mount trembleth exceedingly;
19 Eddoboozi ly’akagombe bwe lyeyongera okuvuga n’omwanguka ogw’amaanyi, Musa n’ayogera, ne Katonda n’amwanukula n’eddoboozi ery’okubwatuka.
and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with 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 Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up.
21 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Serengeta eri abantu obalabule baleme kuwaguza okujja okutunula ku Mukama, abantu bangi baleme kuzikirira.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them have fallen;
22 Ne bakabona, abasemberera Mukama, nabo basaana beetukuze, kubanga Mukama ayinza okubasaanyaawo.”
and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on 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 saith unto Jehovah, 'The people [is] unable to come up unto mount Sinai, for Thou — Thou hast protested to us, saying, Make a border [for] the mount, then thou hast sanctified it.'
24 Mukama n’alagira Musa nti, “Serengeta oleete Alooni; naye bakabona n’abantu tobaganya kuwaguza kujja kwambuka eri Mukama, kubanga ayinza okubasaanyaawo.”
And Jehovah saith unto him, 'Go, descend, then thou hast come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; and the priests and the people do not break through, to come up unto Jehovah, lest He break forth upon them.'
25 Bw’atyo Musa n’aserengeta mu bantu n’abategeeza.
And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them: —
