Исход 19
1 Месяца же третияго изшествия сынов Израилевых от земли Египетския, в сий день приидоша в пустыню Синайскую:
The Israeli people then left Rephidim, and exactly two months after leaving Egypt, they/we came to the desert near Sinai [Mountain]. They/We set up their/our tents at the base of the mountain.
2 и воздвигошася от Рафидина и приидоша в пустыню Синайскую, и ополчися тамо Израиль прямо горы.
3 Моисей же взыде на гору Божию, и воззва его Бог от горы глаголя: сия возглаголеши дому Иаковлю и повеси сыном Израилевым:
Moses/I climbed up the mountain [to talk with] God. Yahweh called to [him/me] from [the top of] the mountain and said, “This is what I want you to say to the Israeli people, the descendants of Jacob:
4 сами видесте, елика сотворих Египтяном, и подях вас яко на крилех орлих и приведох вас к Себе:
‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You have seen [what I did for all of you] and how I brought you here to me. It was as though I [lifted you up as] an eagle [carries its young eaglets] on its wings [MET].
5 и ныне аще слухом послушаете гласа Моего и сохраните завет Мой, будете Ми людие избранни от всех язык: Моя бо есть вся земля:
So now, if you will do what I tell you and obey all that I command you, you will be my own people. All the people-groups on the earth are mine, but you will be (dearer/more special) to me than all the other people-groups.
6 вы же будете Ми царское священие и язык свят: сия словеса да речеши сыном Израилевым.
You will be people over whom I will rule, and you will all (be like priests/represent me to other nations as priests represent me to one nation) [MET], and you will be completely dedicated to me.’ That is what you must tell the Israeli people.”
7 Прииде же Моисей и призва старцы людския и предложи им вся словеса сия, яже завеща им Бог.
So Moses/I went [down the mountain] and summoned the elders/leaders of the people. He/I told them everything that Yahweh had told him/me to tell them.
8 Отвещаша же вси людие единодушно и рекоша: вся, елика рече Бог, сотворим и послушаем. Донесе же Моисей словеса сия к Богу,
The people all said, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us to do.” Then Moses/I [climbed back up the mountain and] reported to Yahweh what the people had said.
9 и рече Господь к Моисею: се, Аз прииду к тебе в столпе облачне, да услышат людие глаголюща мя к тебе и да тебе веруют во веки. Поведа же Моисей словеса людий ко Господу.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “[Listen carefully]: I am going to appear to you from inside a thick cloud. When I am speaking to you, the people will hear it, and they will always trust in you.” Then Moses/I went [down the mountain and reported to the people what Yahweh said. Then he/I went back up the mountain and] told Yahweh what the people replied.
10 Рече же Господь Моисею: сошед засвидетелствуй людем и очисти я днесь и утре, и да исперут ризы,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go [back down] to the people [again]. [Tell them to] purify themselves today and tomorrow. [Tell them to] wash their clothes, too.
11 и да будут готовы в день третий: в третий бо день снидет Господь на гору Синайскую пред всеми людьми:
They must do that to be ready on the day after tomorrow. On that day I will come down to Sinai Mountain to where all the people can see me.
12 и устроиши люди окрест глаголя: внемлите себе не восходити на гору и ни чимже коснутися ея: всяк прикоснувыйся горе смертию умрет:
You must make a boundary around the base of the mountain, and tell them, ‘Be sure that you do not climb the mountain or even go near it. Anyone who even touches the base of the mountain must be executed.’
13 не коснется ей рука, камением бо побиется или стрелою устрелится, аще скот, аще человек, не будет жив: егда же гласи и трубы и облак отидет от горы, сии взыдут на гору.
Do not let anyone touch any person or any animal that touches the mountain. You must [kill any person or animal that touches the mountain] by throwing stones at it or shooting it [with arrows]. But when you hear a long [loud] trumpet sound, the people can come close to the [base of the] mountain.”
14 Сниде же Моисей с горы к людем, и освяти я, и испраша ризы своя:
So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people to purify themselves. They did what Moses/I told them to do, and they also washed their clothes.
15 и рече людем: будите готови, три дни не входите к женам.
Then Moses/I said to the people, “Be ready on the day after tomorrow. And [you men] must not have sex with [EUP] [your wives] until after then.”
16 Бысть же в третий день бывшу ко утру, и быша гласи и молния и облак мрачен на горе Синайстей, глас трубный глашаше зело: и убояшася вси людие, иже в полце:
Two days later, during the morning, there was thunder and lightning, and a very dark cloud on the mountain. A trumpet sounded very loudly, with the result that the people in the camp shook/trembled because they [were very afraid].
17 изведе же Моисей люди во сретение Богу из полка, и сташа под горою.
Then Moses/I led the people outside the camp to meet with God. They stood at the base of the mountain.
18 Гора же Синайская дымяшеся вся, схождения ради Божия на ню во огни, и восхождаше дым, яко дым пещный: и ужасошася вси людие зело.
All of Sinai Mountain was covered in smoke, because Yahweh had descended on it, surrounded by a fire. The smoke rose up like the smoke from [the chimney of] a furnace, and the whole mountain shook violently.
19 Быша же гласи трубнии происходяще крепцы зело: Моисей глаголаше, Бог же отвещаваше ему гласом.
As the sound of the trumpet continued to become louder, Moses/I spoke [to Yahweh], and Yahweh answered [him/me] in [a loud voice that sounded like] thunder.
20 Сниде же Господь на гору Синайскую на верх горы, и воззва Господь Моисеа на верх горы, и взыде Моисей:
Then Yahweh came down [again] onto the top of Sinai Mountain, and he summoned Moses/me to come up to the top of the mountain. So Moses/I went up.
21 и рече Бог к нему глаголя: сошед засвидетелствуй людем, да не когда приступят к Богу уразумети, и падут от них мнози:
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Go down again and warn the people not to cross the boundary in order to look [at me]. If they [do] that, many of them will die.
22 жерцы же приступающии ко Господу Богу да освятятся, да не когда погубит от них Господь.
Also, the priests who habitually come near me must purify themselves. If they do not do that, I will punish them.”
23 И рече Моисей к Богу: не возмогут людие взыти на гору Синайскую: Ты бо завещал еси нам глаголя: определи гору и освяти ю.
Then Moses/I said to Yahweh, “The people will not climb the mountain, because you commanded them, saying, ‘Set a boundary around the mountain, to make it sacred/taboo.’”
24 И рече ему Господь: иди, сниди и взыди ты и Аарон с тобою: жерцы же и людие да не нудятся взыти к Богу, да не когда погубит от них Господь.
Yahweh replied, “Go down the mountain, and bring Aaron back up with you. But do not allow the priests or other people to cross the boundary to come up to me. If they cross it, I will punish them.”
25 Сниде же Моисей к людем и поведа им.
So Moses/I went down the mountain [again] and told the people [what Yahweh had said].
