Eksodosy 19
1 Tamin’ ny volana fahatelo taorian’ ny nialan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny tany Egypta, dia tamin’ izany andro izany no nahatongavany tany an-efitr’ i Sinay.
In the third month, on the same day of the month that the Israelites had left the land of Egypt, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.
2 Ary rehefa nifindra niala teo Refidima izy ka tonga tany amin’ ny efitr’ i Sinay, dia nitoby teo amin’ ny efitra; dia tandrifin’ ny tendrombohitra no nitobian’ ny Isiraely teo.
After they had set out from Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.
3 Ary Mosesy niakatra ho ao amin’ Andriamanitra, dia niantso azy Jehovah tao an-tendrombohitra ka nanao hoe: Izao no holazainao amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba sy hambaranao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely:
Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, “This is what you are to tell the house of Jacob and explain to the sons of Israel:
4 Hianareo efa nahita izay nataoko tamin’ ny Egyptiana sy izay nitondrako anareo tamin’ ny elatry ny voromahery ary ny nampankanesako anareo ho atỳ amiko.
‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
5 Koa ankehitriny, raha hihaino ny feoko tokoa ianareo ka hitandrina ny fanekeko, dia ho rakitra soa ho Ahy mihoatra noho ny firenena rehetra ianareo; fa Ahy ny tany rehetra.
Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.
6 Dia ho fanjaka-mpisorona sy ho firenena masìna ho Ahy ianareo. Ireo teny ireo no holazainao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”
7 Dia nandeha Mosesy ka nampaka ny loholon’ ny vahoaka, dia nalahany teo anatrehany ireo teny rehetra ireo, izay nandidian’ i Jehovah azy.
So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.
8 Dia namaly indray miredona ny olona rehetra ka nanao hoe: Izay teny rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah dia hataonay. Ary dia nentin’ i Mosesy tao amin’ i Jehovah kosa ny tenin’ ny olona.
And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.
9 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro Aho mankeo aminao ao anatin’ ny rahona maizina, mba ho ren’ ny olona raha miteny aminao Aho, ka dia hino anao mandrakariva izy. Dia nambaran’ i Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ny olona.
The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.
10 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandehana ho eny amin’ ny olona, ka manamasìna azy anio sy ampitso, ary ampanasao ny fitafiany izy:
Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
11 ary aoka samy hiomana ho amin’ ny andro fahatelo izy; fa amin’ ny andro fahatelo no hidinan’ i Jehovah ho eo imason’ ny olona rehetra eo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Sinay.
and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.
12 Dia hanisy fefy manodidina ho an’ ny olona ianao ka hanao hoe: Mitandrema ianareo mba tsy hiakatra ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra, na hikasika ny sisiny akory aza; fa na iza na iza mikasika ny tendrombohitra dia hatao maty tokoa;
And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.
13 tsy hisy tanana hikasika azy, fa hotoraham-bato tokoa izy, na hotifirina tokoa, na biby na olona, tsy mba hovelomina izy; fa raha manao feo lavareny ny anjomara, dia vao hiakatra ho ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra izy.
No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows—whether man or beast, he must not live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”
14 Dia nidina avy tao amin’ ny tendrombohitra Mosesy ka nankeny amin’ ny olona; dia nanamasina ny olona izy, ka samy nanasa ny fitafiany.
When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.
15 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny olona: Miomàna ianareo ho amin’ ny andro fahatelo; aza manakaiky vehivavy akory.
“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”
16 Ary nony tamin’ ny marain’ ny andro fahatelo dia nisy kotrokorana sy helatra ary rahona matevina teo amin’ ny tendrombohitra, ary nisy feon’ anjomara mafy indrindra, dia toran-kovitra ny olona rehetra izay teo an-toby.
On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the ram’s horn went out, so that all the people in the camp trembled.
17 Ary Mosesy nitondra ny olona nivoaka avy teo an-toby mba hihaona amin’ Andriamanitra; dia nijanona teo am-bodin’ ny tendrombohitra izy.
Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
18 Ary ny tendrombohitra Sinay nivoa-tsetroka avokoa, satria Jehovah nidina teo amboniny tao anaty afo; dia niakatra ny setroka tahaka ny setroky ny lafaoro lehibe, ary nihorohoro mafy ny tendrombohitra Sinay rehetra.
Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.
19 Ary rehefa notsofina ny anjomara ka nidradradradra, dia niteny Mosesy, ary Andriamanitra namaly feo azy.
And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.
20 Ary Jehovah nidina nankeo an-tendrombohitra Sinay, dia teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra; ary Jehovah niantso an’ i Mosesy hankeo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra; dia niakatra Mosesy.
The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,
21 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Midìna, ka pepero ny olona, fandrao hisisika hankao amin’ i Jehovah izy mba hijery ka hahafatesana maro.
and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the LORD, lest many of them perish.
22 Ary aoka ny mpisorona koa, izay manakaiky an’ i Jehovah, hanamasina ny tenany, fandrao himaona hamely azy Jehovah.
Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”
23 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah: Tsy mahazo miakatra ho eto amin’ ny tendrombohitra Sinay ny olona; fa Hianao nandidy anay ka nanao hoe: Fefeo ny tendrombohitra, ka hamasino izy.
But Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, for You solemnly warned us, ‘Put a boundary around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”
24 Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Mandehana midìna, nefa miakara ianao, ka ento hiaraka aminao Arona; fa ny mpisorona sy ny olona dia aza avela hisisika hiakatra ho ao amin’ i Jehovah, fandrao haringana izy.
And the LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”
25 Ary Mosesy dia nidina nankeny amin’ ny olona ka niteny taminy.
So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
