< 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.
He said to Moses [Drawn out], “Come up to Adonai, you, and Aaron [Light-bringer], Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel [God prevails]; and worship from a distance.
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.
Moses [Drawn out] alone shall come near to Adonai, but they shall not come near. The people shall not 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.
Moses [Drawn out] came and told the people all Adonai’s words, and all the judgments; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which Adonai has spoken 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.
Moses [Drawn out] wrote all Adonai’s words, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel [God prevails].
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.
He sent young men of the children of Israel [God prevails], who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Adonai.
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.
Moses [Drawn out] took half of the blood and put it in basins, 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.
He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “All that Adonai has spoken will we do, and be sh'ma ·hear 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.
Moses [Drawn out] took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, which Adonai 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;
Then Moses [Drawn out], Aaron [Light-bringer], Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel [God prevails] 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.
They saw the God of Israel [God prevails]. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies 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.
He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel [God prevails]. 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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the Torah ·Teaching· and the mitzvot ·instructions· that I have written, that you may teach them.”
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.
Moses [Drawn out] rose up with Joshua [Salvation Yah], his servant, and Moses [Drawn out] went up onto God’s Mountain.
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.
He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron [Light-bringer] and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”
15 Na piki ana a Mohi ki te maunga, e taupokina ana hoki te maunga e te kapua:
Moses [Drawn out] went up on 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.
Adonai’s shekhinah [manifest weighty glory and presence of God] settled on Mount Sinai [Thorn], and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses [Drawn out] out of the middle 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.
The appearance of the kavod Yahweh ·weighty glory of He sustains breathing· was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel [God prevails].
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.
Moses [Drawn out] entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses [Drawn out] was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
