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 after the children of Israel went out from Egypt, on the same day, they came into the waste land 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.
And when they had gone away from Rephidim and had come into the waste land of Sinai, they put up their tents in the waste land before the mountain: there Israel put up its tents.
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:
And Moses went up to God, and the voice of the Lord came to him from the mountain, saying, Say to the family of Jacob, and give word to the children 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 what I did to the Egyptians, and how I took you, as on eagles' wings, guiding 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.
If now you will truly give ear to my voice and keep my agreement, you will be my special property out of all the peoples: for all the 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 you will be a kingdom of priests to me, and a holy nation. These are the words which you are to say to the children of Israel.
7 Dia nandeha Mosesy ka nampaka ny loholon’ ny vahoaka, dia nalahany teo anatrehany ireo teny rehetra ireo, izay nandidian’ i Jehovah azy.
And Moses came and sent for the chiefs of the people and put before them all these words which the Lord had given him orders to say.
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, answering together, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do. And Moses took back to the Lord the words of the people.
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.
And the Lord said to Moses, See, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that what I say to you may come to the ears of the people and they may have belief in you for ever. And Moses gave the Lord word of 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:
And the Lord said to Moses, Go to the people and make them holy today and tomorrow, and let their clothing be washed.
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 by the third day let them be ready: for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai, before the eyes 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 let limits be marked out for the people round the mountain, and say to them, Take care not to go up the mountain or near the sides of it: whoever puts his foot on the mountain will certainly come to his 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.
He is not to be touched by a hand, but is to be stoned or have an arrow put through him; man or beast, he is to be put to death: at the long sounding of a horn they may come up to 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.
Then Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and made the people holy; and their clothing was washed.
15 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny olona: Miomàna ianareo ho amin’ ny andro fahatelo; aza manakaiky vehivavy akory.
And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day: do not come near 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.
And when morning came on the third day, there were thunders and flames and a thick cloud on the mountain, and a horn sounding very loud; and all the people in the tents were shaking with fear.
17 Ary Mosesy nitondra ny olona nivoaka avy teo an-toby mba hihaona amin’ Andriamanitra; dia nijanona teo am-bodin’ ny tendrombohitra izy.
And Moses made the people come out of their tents and take their places before God; and they came to 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.
And all the mountain of Sinai was smoking, for the Lord had come down on it in fire: and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a great burning; and all the mountain was shaking.
19 Ary rehefa notsofina ny anjomara ka nidradradradra, dia niteny Mosesy, ary Andriamanitra namaly feo azy.
And when the sound of the horn became louder and louder, Moses' words were answered by the voice of God.
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.
Then the Lord came down on to Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and the Lord sent for Moses to come up to the top of the mountain, and 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 Moses, Go down and give the people orders to keep back, for fear that a great number of them, forcing their way through to see the Lord, may come to destruction.
22 Ary aoka ny mpisorona koa, izay manakaiky an’ i Jehovah, hanamasina ny tenany, fandrao himaona hamely azy Jehovah.
And let the priests who come near to the Lord make themselves holy, for fear that the Lord may come on them suddenly.
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.
And Moses said to the Lord, The people will not be able to come up the mountain, for you gave us orders to put limits round the mountain, marking it out and making it 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 said to him, Go down, and you and Aaron may come up; but let not the priests and the people make their way through to the Lord, or he will come on them suddenly.
25 Ary Mosesy dia nidina nankeny amin’ ny olona ka niteny taminy.
So Moses went down to the people and said this to them.
