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 unto Moses He said, 'Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and ye have bowed yourselves afar off;'
2 Musa yekka y’anaansemberera; abalala tebasembera. Era abantu tebasaana kujja naye.”
and Moses hath drawn nigh by himself unto Jehovah; and they draw not nigh, and the people go not 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 cometh in, and recounteth to the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments, and all the people answer — one voice, and say, 'All the words which Jehovah hath spoken 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 writeth all the words of Jehovah, and riseth early in the morning, and buildeth an altar under the hill, and twelve standing pillars for 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 sendeth the youths of the sons of Israel, and they cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah — calves.
6 Musa n’addira ekitundu ky’omusaayi n’akissa mu mabeseni, n’ekitundu ekirala n’akimansira ku kyoto.
And Moses taketh half of the blood, and putteth in basins, and half of the blood hath 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 taketh the Book of the Covenant, and proclaimeth in the ears of the people, and they say, 'All that which Jehovah hath spoken we do, and obey.'
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 taketh the blood, and sprinkleth on the people, and saith, 'Lo, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you, concerning all these things.'
9 Awo Musa ne Alooni, ne Nadabu, ne Abiku, n’abakulembeze ba Isirayiri ensanvu, ne bambuka;
And Moses goeth up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,
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 see the God of Israel, and under His feet [is] as the white work of the sapphire, and as the substance of the heavens for purity;
11 Naye Katonda teyakola kabi konna ku bakulembeze ba Isirayiri abo; Katonda baamulaba, ne balya era ne banywa.
and unto those of the sons of Israel who are near He hath not put forth His hand, and they see God, and eat and drink.
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 saith unto Moses, 'Come up unto Me to the mount, and be there, and I give to thee the tables of stone, and the law, and the command, which I have written to direct them.'
13 Awo Musa n’asituka n’omuweereza we Yoswa; Musa n’ayambuka ku lusozi lwa Katonda.
And Moses riseth — Joshua his minister also — and Moses goeth up unto 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 unto the elders he hath said, 'Abide ye for us in this [place], until that we turn back unto you, and lo, Aaron and Hur [are] with you — he who hath matters doth come nigh unto them.'
15 Awo Musa n’alinnyalinnya olusozi, ekire ne kirubikka.
And Moses goeth up unto the mount, and the cloud covereth 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 honour of Jehovah doth tabernacle on mount Sinai, and the cloud covereth it six days, and He calleth unto Moses on the seventh day from 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 honour of Jehovah [is] as a consuming fire on the top of the mount, before 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 goeth into the midst of the cloud, and goeth up unto the mount, and Moses is on the mount forty days and forty nights.
