Ekoruhe 24

1 Na ka mea ia ki a Mohi, Piki ake ki a Ihowa koutou ko Arona, ko Natapa, ko Apihu, kia whitu tekau ano hoki o nga kaumatua o Iharaira; a me koropiko mai koutou i tawhiti.

And he said to Moses, Go up to Jehovah, thou and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship afar off.

2 Ko Mohi anake hoki e whakatata mai ki a Ihowa: ko ratou ia, kaua ratou e whakatata mai; me te iwi hoki, kaua ratou e piki tahi ake me ia.

And let Moses alone come near Jehovah; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.

3 Na ka haere a Mohi, ka korerotia e ia ki te iwi nga kupu katoa a Ihowa, me nga whakariteritenga katoa: a kotahi ano te reo o te iwi katoa ki te whakahoki, ka ki ratou, Ka meatia e matou nga mea katoa i korerotia mai e Ihowa.

And Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words that Jehovah has said will we do!

4 Na ka tuhituhia e Mohi nga kupu katoa a Ihowa; a ka maranga wawe ia i te ata, a hanga ana e ia tetahi aata ki raro iho i te maunga, me nga pou kotahi tekau ma rua mo nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira.

And Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 I unga ano e ia etahi taitama o nga tama a Iharaira, hei whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, hei patu hoki i nga puru hei patunga mo te pai ki a Ihowa.

And he sent the youths of the children of Israel, and they offered up burnt-offerings, and sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offering of bullocks to Jehovah.

6 Na, ka tango a Mohi i tetahi wahi o te toto, a maka ana e ia ki roto ki nga peihana; ko tetahi wahi hoki o te toto i taia atu ki te aata.

And Moses took half the blood, and put [it] in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 Na ka mau ia ki te pukapuka o te kawenata, a korerotia ana ki nga taringa o te iwi: a ka mea ratou, Ko nga mea katoa i kiia mai na e Ihowa ka meatia e matou, ka rongo ano matou.

And he took the book of the covenant, and read [it] in the ears of the people; and they said, All that Jehovah has said will we do, and obey!

8 Na ka mau a Mohi ki te toto, a taia atu ana e ia ki te iwi, me te ki ano ia, Nana, te toto nei o te kawenata e whakaritea nei e Ihowa ki a koutou mo enei mea katoa.

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 Na ka piki ake a Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko Natapa, ko Apihu, me nga kaumatua e whitu tekau o Iharaira;

And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up;

10 Na ka kite i te Atua o Iharaira: kei raro ano i ona waewae me te mea ko te hapira i hanga hei whariki, he rite tonu ano ki te tino rangi te marama.

and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were work of transparent sapphire, and as it were the form of heaven for clearness.

11 A kihai i totoro tona ringa ki tetahi o nga rangatira o nga tama a Iharaira: heoi, ka titiro atu ratou ki te Atua, ka kai hoki, ka inu.

And on the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: they saw God, and ate and drank.

12 Na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Piki ake ki ahau ki te maunga, a hei reira koe noho ai: a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe nga papa kohatu, me te ture, me te whakahau kua oti nei i ahau te tuhituhi, hei whakaako mau ki a ratou.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law, and the commandment that I have written, for their instruction.

13 Na ko te whakatikanga ake o Mohi, raua ko tana tangata, ko Hohua: ka piki atu a Mohi ki te maunga o te Atua.

And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant; and Moses went up to the mountain of God.

14 I mea ano ia ki nga kaumatua, Taria ake maua i konei, kia hoki mai ra ano maua ki a koutou: na, ko Arona raua ko Huru tena hei hoa mo koutou: ki te whai take tetahi tangata, me haere ia ki a raua.

And he said to the elders, Wait here for us, until we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matter, let him come before them.

15 Na piki ana a Mohi ki te maunga, e taupokina ana hoki te maunga e te kapua:

And Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

16 A i tau te kororia o Ihowa ki runga ki Maunga Hinai; a e ono nga ra i taupokina ai a reira e te kapua; a i te whitu o nga ra ka karanga ia ki a Mohi i waenganui o te kapua.

And the glory of Jehovah abode on mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 A i rite te ahua o te kororia o Ihowa ki te ahi e kai ana i runga i te tihi o te maunga, i te tirohanga a nga tama a Iharaira.

And the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Israel.

18 Na ka haere a Mohi ki waenganui o te kapua, a pikitia ana e ia te maunga: a e wha tekau nga ra o Mohi ki runga ki te maunga, e wha tekau hoki nga po.

And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and ascended the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
