Ekoruhe 19
1 No te toru o nga marama o te haerenga mai o nga tama a Iharaira i te whenua o Ihipa, no taua rangi ano, ka tae ratou ki te koraha o Hinai.
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 A, i to ratou haerenga atu i Repirimi, ka tae ki te koraha o Hinai, ka noho iho ratou i te koraha; a noho ana a Iharaira ki reira, ki te ritenga atu o te maunga.
and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there before the mount.
3 Na ka piki a Mohi ki te Atua, a ka karanga a Ihowa ki a ia i te maunga, ka mea, Kia penei tau korero ki te whare o Hakopa, tau kauwhau hoki ki nga tama a Iharaira;
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 Kua kite koutou i nga mea i mea ai ahau ki nga Ihipiana, i taku whakawahanga hoki i a koutou i runga i nga parirau ekara, me te kawenga mai i a koutou ki ahau.
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 Heoi ki te ata whakarongo koutou ki toku reo, ki te pupuri hoki i taku kawenata, ka waiho koutou hei taonga moku, motu ke i nga iwi katoa: i ahau hoki te whenua katoa:
'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 A ka waiho koutou e ahau hei kingi, hei tohunga, hei iwi tapu hoki. Ko nga kupu enei e korero ai koe ki nga tama a Iharaira.
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 Na ka haere iho a Mohi, ka karanga ia ki nga kaumatua o te iwi, a hoatu ana e ia ki to ratou aroaro enei kupu katoa i akona nei e Ihowa ki a ia.
And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him;
8 Na ka pa katoa te iwi ki te whakahoki, ka mea, Ka mahia e matou nga mea katoa i korerotia mai na e Ihowa. A kawea ana e Mohi nga kupu a te iwi ki a Ihowa.
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 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Nana, ka haere atu ahau ki a koe i roto i tetahi kapua matotoru, kia rongo ai te iwi, ua korero ahau ki a koe, kia whakapono ai hoki ratou ki a koe a mua tonu atu. A korerotia ana e Mohi nga kupu a te iwi ki a Ihowa.
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 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Haere ki te iwi, ka whakatapu hoki i a ratou akuanei, apopo hoki, kia horoi hoki ratou i o ratou kakahu,
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 Kia takatu hoki mo te ra tuatoru; ta te mea hei te ra tuatoru a Ihowa haere iho ai ki te aroaro o te iwi katoa, ki runga ki Maunga Hinai.
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 A whakatakotoria e koe he rohe mo te iwi, tawhio noa, tawhio noa, ka mea atu, Kia mohio koutou kei piki ki te maunga, kei pa ranei ki tona taha: ko nga tangata katoa e pa ana ki te maunga, ina, me whakamate.
'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 Kaua te ringa e pa ki a ia, engari me aki ki te kohatu, me wero ranei ki te tao; ahakoa kararehe, ahakoa tangata, e kore e ora: ka kukume roa te tangi o te tetere, ka haere mai ai ratou ki te maunga.
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 Na ka haere iho a Mohi i te maunga ki te iwi, ka whakatapu ia i te iwi, a horoia ana e ratou o ratou kakahu.
And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;
15 A i mea ia ki te iwi, Kia takatu koutou i te toru o nga ra: kaua e whakatata atu ki te wahine.
and he saith unto the people, 'Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto a woman.'
16 A ka taka ki te toru o nga ra, i te ata, na, ka puta mai nga whatitiri, me nga uira, me te kapua matotoru i runga i te maunga, me te tangi o te tetere, tona nui na! a wiri katoa ana te hunga i te puni.
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 Na ka arahina atu te iwi e Mohi i te puni ki te whakatau i te Atua; a tu ana ratou ki raro i te maunga.
And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount,
18 A he paowa kau Maunga Hinai, no te mea kua heke iho a Ihowa ki runga, i roto i te ahi; a kake ana tona paowa, ano he paowa oumu, a wiri pu te maunga katoa.
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 A i te mea ka nui haere rawa te tangi o te tetere, ka korero atu a Mohi, a ka korero a reo tangata mai te Atua ki a ia.
and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice.
20 Na ka heke iho a Ihowa ki Maunga Hinai, ki te tihi o te maunga: a karangatia iho ana a Mohi e Ihowa ki te tihi o te maunga; a piki atu ana a Mohi.
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 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Heke atu, kauwhautia te iwi ra, kei wahi ake ratou ki a Ihowa ki te matakitaki, a he tokomaha o ratou e hinga.
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 Ko nga tohunga hoki e whakatata ana ki a Ihowa, kia tapu ratou, kei auta atu a Ihowa ki a ratou.
and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.'
23 A ka mea a Mohi ki a Ihowa, E kore e ahei i te iwi te piki ake ki Maunga Hinai; nau hoki i kauwhau iho ki a matou, i mea, Taiepatia te maunga, whakatapua hoki.
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 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Haere, heke atu; ka piki mai ano koe, korua ko Arona: ko nga tohunga ia, me te iwi, kei wahi mai ratou, kei piki ki a Ihowa; kei auta atu ia ki a ratou.
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 A heke atu ana a Mohi ki te iwi, korero ana ki a ratou.
And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them: —
