Okuva 24
1 Awo Mukama n’alagira Musa nti, “Mwambuke eno gye ndi, ggwe ne Alooni, ne Nadabu, ne Abiku, n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri nsanvu. Musinze nga mwesuddeko akabanga,
And he said to Moses, Come up to Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship ye afar off.
2 Musa yekka y’anaansemberera; abalala tebasembera. Era abantu tebasaana kujja naye.”
And Moses alone shall come near to Jehovah, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.
3 Musa n’ajja n’ategeeza abantu ebigambo byonna Mukama bye yamugamba awamu n’amateeka ge gonna. Abantu bonna ne baddiramu wamu ne bagamba nti, “Ebigambo ebyo byonna Mukama by’agambye tunaabikola.”
And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the ordinances. And all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which Jehovah has spoken will we do.
4 Bw’atyo Musa n’awandiika ebigambo byonna Mukama bye yayogera. Awo Musa n’akeera mu makya n’azimba ekyoto awo wansi w’olusozi; n’asimbako n’empagi kkumi na bbiri ng’ebika bya Isirayiri ekkumi n’ebibiri bwe byali.
And Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar below the mount, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 N’atuma abasajja abavubuka Abayisirayiri, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama, ne ssaddaaka ey’emirembe ey’ente.
And he sent young men of the sons of Israel, who offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to Jehovah.
6 Musa n’addira ekitundu ky’omusaayi n’akissa mu mabeseni, n’ekitundu ekirala n’akimansira ku kyoto.
And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
7 N’asitula Ekitabo ky’Endagaano, n’akisomera abantu nga bonna bawulira. Ne bagamba nti, “Ebyo byonna Mukama by’agambye tujja kubikola; era tunaamugonderanga.”
And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people. And they said, All that Jehovah has spoken will we do, and be obedient.
8 Awo Musa n’addira omusaayi n’agumansira ku bantu, n’agamba nti, “Guno gwe musaayi gw’endagaano Mukama Katonda gye yabalagira okukwata.”
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you concerning all these words.
9 Awo Musa ne Alooni, ne Nadabu, ne Abiku, n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ensanvu, ne bambuka;
Then Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
10 ne balaba Katonda wa Isirayiri. Wansi w’ebigere bye nga waliwo ng’omwaliiro ogw’amayinja ga safiro, agalabika obulungi ng’eggulu eritaliiko bire.
And they saw the God of Israel. And there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness.
11 Naye Katonda teyakola kabi konna ku bakulembeze ba Isirayiri abo; Katonda baamulaba, ne balya era ne banywa.
And he laid not his hand upon the nobles of the sons of Israel. And they beheld God, and ate and drank.
12 Mukama n’agamba Musa nti, “Yambuka eno gye ndi ku lusozi, obeere wano olinde; nzija kukuwa ebipande eby’amayinja okuli amateeka g’empandiise ogayigirize abantu.”
And Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to me onto the mount, and be there, and I will give thee the tablets of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou may teach them.
13 Awo Musa n’asituka n’omuweereza we Yoswa; Musa n’ayambuka ku lusozi lwa Katonda.
And Moses rose up, and Joshua his minister, and Moses went up onto the mount of God.
14 N’agamba abakulembeze b’abantu nti, “Mugira mutulindako wano nga naffe bwe tukomawo. Mbalekedde Alooni ne Kuuli; buli anaaba n’ensonga yonna agende gye bali, bajja kugimumalira.”
And he said to the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again to you. And, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a case, let him come near to them.
15 Awo Musa n’alinnyalinnya olusozi, ekire ne kirubikka.
And Moses went up onto the mount, and the cloud covered the mount.
16 Ekitiibwa kya Mukama ne kibeera ku Lusozi Sinaayi. Ekire ne kibikka olusozi okumala ennaku mukaaga; ku lunaku olw’omusanvu Mukama n’ayita Musa ng’asinziira wakati mu kire.
And the glory of Jehovah abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
17 Abaana ba Isirayiri bwe baatunuulira ekitiibwa kya Mukama, ne kibalabikira ng’omuliro ogw’amaanyi ennyo ku ntikko y’olusozi.
And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the sons of Israel.
18 Musa n’ayingira mu kire ng’agenda alinnyalinnya olusozi. Ku lusozi yamalako ennaku amakumi ana.
And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up onto the mount. And Moses was on the mount forty days and forty nights.
