Исход 24
1 И Моисею рече: взыди ко Господу ты и Аарон, и Надав и Авиуд и седмьдесят старец Израилевых, и да поклонятся издалече Господу:
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come to me, up [on top of this mountain], you and Aaron and [his sons] Nadab and Abihu. Also [take along] 70 of the Israeli elders/leaders. While you are still some distance [from the top of the mountain], prostrate yourselves [on the ground] and worship me.
2 и да приступит Моисей един к Богу, они же да не приступят: и людие с ними да не взыдут.
Moses, [I will allow] you alone to come near to me. The others must not come near, and the [rest of the] people must not come up the mountain.”
3 Прииде же Моисей и поведа людем вся словеса Божия и оправдания. Отвещаша же вси людие гласом единым, глаголюще: вся словеса, яже глагола Господь, сотворим и послушаем.
Moses/I went and told the people everything that Yahweh had said and all that he had commanded. The people all replied together, saying, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us [to do].”
4 И написа Моисей вся словеса Господня: обутрев же Моисей заутра, созда олтарь под горою, и дванадесять камений в дванадесять племен Израилевых:
Then Moses/I wrote down everything that Yahweh had commanded. Early the next morning Moses/I built a [stone] altar. He/I also set up twelve stones, one for each of the Israeli tribes.
5 и посла юношы сынов Израилевых, и принесоша всесожжения, и пожроша жертву спасения Господу Богу телцы.
He/I also selected some young men. They burned sacrifices to Yahweh and they also sacrificed some cattle [that they did not burn completely], for the purpose of maintaining fellowship with Yahweh.
6 Взем же Моисей половину крове, влия в чашы, половину же крове возлия на олтарь,
Moses/I took half of the blood of the animals that were slaughtered and put it in bowls. The other half of the blood [he/I] threw/splashed against the altar.
7 и взем книгу завета, прочте людем во ушы. И рекоша: вся, елика глагола Господь, сотворим и послушаем.
Then he/I took the scroll on which he/I had written [everything that Yahweh had commanded in] the agreement that he had made, and he/I read it [aloud], while all the people were listening. Then all the people said, “We will do all that Yahweh has told us to do. We will obey [everything].”
8 Взем же Моисей кровь, окропи люди и рече: се, кровь завета, егоже завеща Господь к вам о всех словесех сих.
Then Moses/I took the blood [that was in the bowls] and threw/splashed it on the people. He/I said, “This is the blood [that (confirms/puts into effect)] the agreement that Yahweh made with you when he gave you all these commands.”
9 И взыде Моисей и Аарон, и Надав и Авиуд и седмьдесят от старец Израилевых,
Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
10 и видеша место, идеже стояше Бог Израилев: и под ногама Его яко дело камене сапфира, и яко видение тверди небесныя чистотою.
and they/we saw God, the one whom the Israeli people worship. Under his feet was something like a pavement [made of expensive blue stones called] sapphires. They were as clear as the sky is [when there are no clouds].
11 И от избранных Израилевых не повредися ни един: и явишася на месте Божии, и ядоша, и пиша.
God did not harm [MTY] those Israeli elders/leaders [because of their having seen him]. They saw God, and they ate and drank together! [Then we all went back down the mountain].
12 И рече Господь к Моисею: взыди ко Мне на гору и стани тамо, и дам ти скрижали каменныя, закон и заповеди, яже написах законоположити им.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come up to me [again] on [top of this] mountain. While you are here, I will give you [two] stone slabs on which I have written all the laws [DOU] that I have given to you to instruct/teach [the people].”
13 И востав Моисей и Иисус предстоявый ему, взыдоша на гору Божию
So Moses/I told the elders, “Stay here [with the other people] until we return! Do not forget that Aaron and Hur will be with you. So if anyone has a dispute [while I am gone], he can go to those two men.” Then Moses/I went with his/my servant Joshua [part of the way] up the mountain that [was dedicated to] God.
14 и старцем реша: пождите в молчании зде, дондеже возвратимся к вам: и се, Аарон и Ор с вами: аще кому случится суд, да идут к ним.
15 И взыде Моисей на гору, и покры облак гору,
Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
16 и сниде слава Божия на гору Синайскую, и покры ю облак шесть дний. И воззва Господь Моисеа в день седмый из среды облака:
The (glory/brilliant light) of Yahweh came down on the mountain and covered it for six days. On the seventh day, Yahweh called to Moses/me from the middle of the cloud.
17 обличие же славы Господни, яко огнь пламенуя на версе горы, пред сыны Израилевы.
When the Israeli people [looked at] the top of the mountain, the glory of Yahweh was like a big fire that was burning [there].
18 И вниде Моисей в среду облака и взыде на гору, и бе тамо на горе четыредесять дний и четыредесять нощей.
Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
