Êxodo 24
1 Depois disse a Moisés: Sobe ao Senhor, tu e Aarão, Nadab e Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel; e inclinai-vos de longe.
He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from a distance.
2 E Moisés só se chegará ao Senhor; mas eles não se cheguem, nem o povo suba com ele.
And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”
3 Vindo pois Moisés, 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 falado, faremos.
Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”
4 E Moisés 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 tribos de Israel;
Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 E enviou os mancebos dos filhos de Israel, os quais ofereceram holocaustos, e sacrificaram ao Senhor sacrifícios pacíficos de bezerros.
And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.
6 E Moisés tomou a metade do sangue, e a pôs em bacias; e a outra metade do sangue espargiu sobre o altar.
And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over the altar.
7 E tomou o livro do concerto e o leu aos ouvidos do povo, e eles disseram: Tudo o que o Senhor tem falado faremos, e obedeceremos.
And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.”
8 Então tomou Moisés aquele sangue, e espargiu-o sobre o povo, e disse: eis aqui o sangue do concerto que o Senhor tem feito convosco sobre todas estas palavras.
In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”
9 E subiram Moisés e Aarão, Nadab e Abihu, e setenta dos anciãos de Israel,
And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.
10 E viram o Deus de Israel, e debaixo de seus pés havia como uma obra de pedra de safira, e como o parecer do céu na sua claridade.
And they saw the God of Israel. And under his feet was something like a work of sapphire stone, or like the sky, when it is serene.
11 Porém não estendeu a sua mão sobre os escolhidos dos filhos de Israel, mas viram a Deus, e comeram e beberam.
Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, and they ate and drank.
12 Então disse o Senhor a Moisés: Sobe a mim ao monte, e fica lá: e dar-te-ei tábuas de pedra, e a lei, e os mandamentos que tenho escrito, para os ensinar.
Then the Lord said to Moses: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”
13 E levantou-se Moisés com Josué seu servidor; e subiu Moisés ao monte de Deus,
Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,
14 E disse aos anciãos: esperai-nos aqui, até que tornemos a vós: e eis que Aarão e Hur ficam convosco; quem tiver algum negócio, se chegará a eles.
said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”
15 E, subindo Moisés ao monte, a nuvem cobriu o monte.
And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.
16 E habitava a glória do Senhor sobre o monte de Sinai, e a nuvem o cobriu por seis dias: e ao sétimo dia chamou a Moisés do meio da nuvem.
And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud for six days. And on the seventh day, he called to him from the middle of the mist.
17 E o parecer da glória do Senhor era como um fogo consumidor no cume do monte, aos olhos dos filhos de Israel.
Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire over the summit of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel.
18 E Moisés entrou no meio da nuvem, depois que subiu ao monte: e Moisés esteve no monte quarenta dias e quarenta noites.
And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.
