< Êxodo 24 >
1 Depois disse a Moysés: Sobe ao Senhor, tu e Aarão, Nadab e Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos d'Israel; e inclinae-vos de longe.
And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.
2 E Moysés só se chegará ao Senhor; mas elles não se cheguem, nem o povo suba com elle.
And Moses alone shall draw nigh to God; and they shall not draw nigh, and the people shall not come up with them.
3 Vindo pois Moysés, e contando ao povo todas as palavras do Senhor, e todos os estatutos, então o povo respondeu a uma voz, e disseram: Todas as palavras, que o Senhor tem fallado, faremos.
And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the words which the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient.
4 E Moysés escreveu todas as palavras do Senhor, e levantou-se pela manhã de madrugada, e edificou um altar ao pé do monte, e doze monumentos, segundo as doze tribus d'Israel;
And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and [set up] twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 E enviou os mancebos dos filhos d'Israel, os quaes offereceram holocaustos, e sacrificaram ao Senhor sacrificios pacificos de bezerros.
And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered whole burnt-offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a peace-offering to God.
6 E Moysés tomou a metade do sangue, e a poz em bacias; e a outra metade do sangue espargiu sobre o altar.
And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar.
7 E tomou o livro do concerto e o leu aos ouvidos do povo, e elles disseram: Tudo o que o Senhor tem fallado faremos, e obedeceremos.
And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, All things whatsoever the Lord has spoken we will do and hearken therein.
8 Então tomou Moysés aquelle sangue, e espargiu-o sobre o povo, e disse: Eis-aqui o sangue do concerto que o Senhor tem feito comvosco sobre todas estas palavras.
And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words.
9 E subiram Moysés e Aarão, Nadab e Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos d'Isrel,
And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel.
10 E viram o Deus d'Israel, e debaixo de seus pés havia como uma obra de pedra de saphira, e como o parecer do céu na sua claridade.
And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood; and under his feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance of the firmament of heaven in its purity.
11 Porém não estendeu a sua mão sobre os escolhidos dos filhos d'Israel, mas viram a Deus, e comeram e beberam.
And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and they appeared in the place of God, and did eat and drink.
12 Então disse o Senhor a Moysés: Sobe a mim ao monte, e fica lá: e dar-te-hei taboas de pedra, e a lei, e os mandamentos que tenho escripto, para os ensinar.
And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws.
13 E levantou-se Moysés com Josué seu servidor; e subiu Moysés ao monte de Deus,
And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the mount of God.
14 E disse aos anciãos: Esperae-nos aqui, até que tornemos a vós: e eis que Aarão e Hur ficam comvosco; quem tiver algum negocio, se chegará a elles.
And to the elders they said, Rest there till we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Or are with you: if any man have a cause to be tried, let them go to them.
15 E, subindo Moysés ao monte, a nuvem cobriu o monte.
And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 E habitava a gloria do Senhor sobre o monte de Sinai, e a nuvem o cobriu por seis dias: e ao setimo dia chamou a Moysés do meio da nuvem.
And the glory of God came down upon the mount Sina, and the cloud covered it six days; and the Lord called Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud.
17 E o parecer da gloria do Senhor era como um fogo consumidor no cume do monte, aos olhos dos filhos d'Israel.
And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top of the mountain, before the children of Israel.
18 E Moysés entrou no meio da nuvem, depois que subiu ao monte: e Moysés esteve no monte quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain, and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
