Exodus 24
1 Ní ìgbà náà ni Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé, “Gòkè tọ Olúwa wá, ìwọ àti Aaroni, Nadabu àti Abihu àti àádọ́rin àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli. Ẹ̀yin kì ó sìn ni òkèèrè réré.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Mose nìkan ṣoṣo ni yóò súnmọ́ Olúwa; àwọn tókù kò gbọdọ̀ súnmọ́ tòsí ibẹ̀. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn kò gbọdọ̀ gòkè wá pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.”
And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”
3 Nígbà ti Mose lọ láti sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn, gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ àti òfin Olúwa, wọ́n wí ní ohùn kan pé, “Gbogbo ohun ti Olúwa wí ni àwa yóò ṣe.”
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 Nígbà náà ni Mose kọ gbogbo ohun tí Olúwa sọ sílẹ̀. Ó dìde ní kùtùkùtù òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ó sì mọ pẹpẹ ni ẹsẹ̀ òkè náà. Ó ṣe ọ̀wọ́n òkúta méjìlá. Èyí ti ó dúró fún àwọn ẹ̀yà Israẹli méjìlá.
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 Nígbà náà ni ó rán àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin Israẹli, wọ́n sì rú ẹbọ sísun, wọ́n fi ọ̀dọ́ màlúù rú ẹbọ àlàáfíà si Olúwa.
And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.
6 Mose bu ìlàjì ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹran sínú abọ́, ó sì fi ìlàjì tókù wọn ara pẹpẹ.
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 Nígbà náà ni ó sì mú ìwé májẹ̀mú, ó sì kà á sí àwọn ènìyàn. Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Àwa yóò ṣe gbogbo ohun tí Olúwa wí. Àwa yóò sì gbọ́rọ̀.”
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 Nígbà náà ni Mose gbé ẹ̀jẹ̀, ó sì wọn sí àwọn ènìyàn náà lára pé, “Èyí ni ẹ̀jẹ̀ májẹ̀mú tí Olúwa ti ṣe pẹ̀lú yín ni ìbámu pẹ̀lú àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí.”
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 Mose àti Aaroni, Nadabu àti Abihu àti àádọ́rin àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli gòkè lọ.
And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.
10 Wọ́n sì rí Ọlọ́run Israẹli. Ní abẹ́ ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni ohun kan bí i pèpéle ti a fi òkúta safire ṣe wà. Èyí ti ó mọ́ nigínnigín bí àwọ̀ sánmọ̀ fúnra rẹ̀.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run kò gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè sí àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli wọ̀nyí; wọ́n ri Ọlọ́run, wọ́n jẹ, wọ́n sì mu.
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 Olúwa sì sọ fún Mose pé, “Gòkè wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi, kí o sì dúró níhìn-ín. Èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní wàláà òkúta pẹ̀lú òfin àti ìlànà tí mo ti kọ sílẹ̀ fún ìtọ́sọ́nà wọn.”
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 Nígbà náà ni Mose jáde lọ pẹ̀lú Joṣua arákùnrin rẹ̀. Mose lọ sí orí òkè Ọlọ́run.
Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,
14 Ó sì wí fún àwọn àgbàgbà pé, “Ẹ dúró dè wá níhìn-ín yìí, títí àwa yóò fi tún padà tọ̀ yín wá, sì kíyèsi i, Aaroni àti Huri ń bẹ pẹ̀lú yín, bí ẹnìkan bá ni ọ̀ràn kan, kí ó tọ̀ wọ́n lọ.”
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 Nígbà tí Mose gun orí òkè lọ, ìkùùkuu bo orí òkè náà.
And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.
16 Ògo Olúwa sì wà ní orí òkè Sinai. Ìkùùkuu bo orí òkè náà fún ọjọ́ mẹ́fà, ni ọjọ́ keje ni Olúwa kọ sí Mose láti inú ìkùùkuu náà wá.
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 Ni ojú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ògo Olúwa náà dàbí iná ajónirun ni orí òkè.
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 Nígbà náà ni Mose wọ inú ìkùùkuu náà bí ó ti ń lọ ní orí òkè. Ó sì wà ni orí òkè náà ni ogójì ọ̀sán àti ogójì òru.
And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.
