Exodus 19
1 Ní oṣù kẹta tí àwọn Israẹli jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, ni ọjọ́ náà gan an ni wọ́n dé aginjù Sinai.
Two months to the day after they left Egypt, the Israelites arrived at the Sinai desert.
2 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n gbéra kúrò ní Refidimu, wọ́n wọ ijù Sinai, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó síbẹ̀, níbẹ̀ ni Israẹli sì dó sí ní iwájú òkè ńlá.
They had set out from Rephidim, and after they entered the Sinai desert they camped there in front of the mountain.
3 Mose sì gòkè tọ Ọlọ́run lọ. Olúwa sì ké pè é láti orí òkè náà wá pé, “Èyí ni ìwọ yóò sọ fún ilé Jakọbu àti ohun tí ìwọ yóò sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli:
Moses went up the mountain to God. The Lord spoke to Moses from the mountain, and told him, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob, the Israelites:
4 ‘Ẹ̀yin ti rí ohun tí mo ti ṣe sí àwọn ará Ejibiti, àti bí mo ti gbé e yín ní apá ìyẹ́ idì.
‘You saw for yourselves what I did to the Egyptians, and how I carried you on eagles' wings, how I brought you to myself.
5 Nísinsin yìí, bí ẹ̀yin bá ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí mi dé ojú àmì, tí ẹ sì pa májẹ̀mú mi mọ́, nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin ó jẹ́ ìṣúra fún mi ju gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè yòókù lọ. Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé gbogbo ayé ni tèmi.
Now if you really obey what I say and keep the agreement with me, then out of all the nations you will be a special people that belong to me. While the whole world is mine,
6 Ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa jẹ́ ilẹ̀ ọba àwọn àlùfáà fún mi, orílẹ̀-èdè mímọ́.’ Ìwọ̀nyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ ti ìwọ yóò sọ fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
for me you will be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.’ This is what you are to tell the Israelites.”
7 Mose sì tọ àwọn ènìyàn wá, ó sí pe àwọn àgbàgbà láàrín àwọn ènìyàn jọ. Ó sì gbé gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ ti Olúwa pàṣẹ fún un láti sọ ní iwájú wọn.
So Moses went back down and summoned the elders of the people, and presented to them everything the Lord had ordered him to say.
8 Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà sì pa ohùn wọn pọ̀ wọ́n sì dáhùn wí pé, “Àwa yóò ṣe ohun gbogbo ti Olúwa wí.” Mose sì mú ìdáhùn wọn padà tọ Olúwa lọ.
Everyone answered, “We promise to do everything the Lord says.” Then Moses took the people's answer back to the Lord.
9 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Èmi yóò tọ̀ ọ́ wá nínú ìkùùkuu ṣíṣú dudu, kí àwọn ènìyàn lè gbọ́ ohùn mi nígbà ti mo bá ń bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀, kí wọn kí ó lè máa gbà ọ́ gbọ́.” Nígbà náà ni Mose sọ ohun tí àwọn ènìyàn wí fún Olúwa.
The Lord told Moses, “Look! I'm going to come to you in a thick cloud so the people will hear me speaking with you and as a result they will always trust you.” Then Moses reported to the Lord what the people had said.
10 Olúwa sì wí fún Mose pé, “Tọ àwọn ènìyàn lọ kí o sì yà wọ́n sí mímọ́ ni òní àti ni ọ̀la. Jẹ́ kí wọn kí ó fọ aṣọ wọn.
The Lord told Moses, “Go back down and prepare them spiritually today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes
11 Kí wọn kí ó sì múra di ọjọ́ kẹta, nítorí ni ọjọ́ náà ni Olúwa yóò sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí orí òkè Sinai ni ojú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn.
and be ready on the third day because that is when the Lord will descend upon Mount Sinai in the full view of everyone.
12 Kí ìwọ kí ó ṣe ààlà fún àwọn ènìyàn, kí ìwọ kí ó sì wí fún wọn pé, ‘Ẹ kíyèsí ara yín, kí ẹ má ṣe gun orí òkè lọ, kí ẹ má tilẹ̀ fi ọwọ́ ba etí rẹ̀; ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fi ọwọ́ kan òkè náà, ó dájú, pípa ni a ó pa á.
Set up a boundary for the people all around and warn them, ‘Watch out! Don't try to go up the mountain—don't even touch it! For anyone who touches the mountain will most certainly be killed. Don't touch any person or any animal that has touched the mountain.
13 A ó sọ ọ́ ní òkúta tàbí kí a ta á ní ọfà, ọwọ́kọ́wọ́ kò gbọdọ̀ kàn án. Ìbá à ṣe ènìyàn tàbí ẹranko, òun kì yóò wà láààyè.’ Nígbà ti ìpè bá dún nìkan ni kí wọn ó gun òkè wá.”
Make sure they are stoned or shot with arrows—they must not be allowed to live.’ Only when there is a long blast on the ram's horn can the people come up the mountain.”
14 Mose sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí òkè náà wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn, ó yà wọ́n sí mímọ́, wọ́n sì fọ aṣọ wọn.
Moses went down the mountain and prepared the people spiritually and they washed their clothes.
15 Ó sì sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ múra sílẹ̀ di ọjọ́ kẹta; ẹ má ṣe bá aya yín lòpọ̀.”
He instructed the people, “Get ready for the third day, and don't be intimate with a woman.”
16 Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kẹta, àrá àti mọ̀nàmọ́ná sì wà pẹ̀lú ìkùùkuu tí ó ṣú dudu ní orí òkè, ìpè ńlá sì dún kíkankíkan tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí gbogbo àwọn tí ó wà ni ibùdó wárìrì.
When morning came on the third day there was thunder and lightning, and a thick cloud covered the mountain. There was the very loud sound of a ram's horn, and everyone in the camp shook with fear.
17 Mose sì kó àwọn ènìyàn tí ó jáde láti ibùdó wá pàdé Ọlọ́run, wọ́n dúró nítòsí òkè.
Moses led the people out from the camp to meet God. They stood at the foot of the mountain.
18 Èéfín sì bo òkè Sinai nítorí Olúwa sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí orí rẹ̀ nínú iná. Èéfín náà sì ń ru sókè bí èéfín iná ìléru, gbogbo òkè náà sì mì tìtì.
Smoke poured out over the whole of Mount Sinai because the Lord's presence had come down like fire. The smoke rose up like smoke from a furnace, and the whole mountain shook furiously.
19 Ohùn ìpè sì ń rinlẹ̀ dòdò. Mose sọ̀rọ̀, Ọlọ́run sì fi àrá dá a lóhùn.
As the sound of the ram's horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him in a loud, thunderous voice.
20 Olúwa sọ̀kalẹ̀ sí orí òkè Sinai, o sì pe Mose wá sí orí òkè náà. Mose sì gun orí òkè.
The Lord descended on the top of Mount Sinai, and he called Moses to come up there. So Moses went up,
21 Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Sọ̀kalẹ̀, kí ó sì kìlọ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn, kí wọn má ṣe fi tipátipá wá ọ̀nà láti wo Olúwa, bí wọn bá ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ọ̀pọ̀ wọn yóò ṣègbé.
and the Lord told him, “Go back down, and warn the people not to force their way across the boundary to try to come to the Lord or they will die.
22 Kódà àwọn àlùfáà tí ó ń wá síwájú Olúwa gbọdọ̀ ya ara wọn sí mímọ́ bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́. Olúwa yóò kọlù wọ́n.”
Even the priests, who come before the Lord, must prepare themselves spiritually, so that the Lord does not punish them.”
23 Mose wí fún Olúwa pé, “Àwọn ènìyàn kì yóò lè wá sí orí òkè Sinai, nítorí ìwọ fúnra rẹ̀ ti kìlọ̀ fún wa pé, ‘Ṣe ààlà yí òkè ká, kí o sì yà á sí mímọ́.’”
But Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai. You yourself warned us, ‘Set up a boundary around the mountain, and treat it as holy.’”
24 Olúwa sì wí fún Mose pé, “Sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ, mú Aaroni gòkè wá pẹ̀lú rẹ. Ṣùgbọ́n kí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn ènìyàn má ṣe fi tipátipá gòkè tọ Olúwa. Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò kọlù wọ́n.”
The Lord told him, “Go down and bring Aaron back up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way to come up to the Lord, or he will punish them.”
25 Mose sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ àwọn ènìyàn lọ. Ó sì sọ ohun tí Olúwa wí fún wọn.
So Moses went down and explained to the people what the Lord had said.
