< 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.
Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me—you, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders, and worship me at 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.”
Moses alone may come near to me. The others must not come near, nor may the people come up 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.”
Moses went and told the people all of Yahweh's words and decrees. All the people answered with one voice and said, “We will do all the words that Yahweh has said.”
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 down all of Yahweh's words. Early in the morning, Moses built an altar at the foot of the mountain and arranged twelve stone pillars, so that the stones would represent 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.
He sent some Israelite young men to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice fellowship offerings of oxen to Yahweh.
6 Mose bu ìlàjì ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹran sínú abọ́, ó sì fi ìlàjì tókù wọn ara pẹpẹ.
Moses took half of the blood and put it into basins; he sprinkled the other half onto 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.”
He took the book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people. They said, “We will do all that Yahweh has spoken. 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.”
Then Moses took the blood and sprinkled it onto the people. He said, “This is the blood of the covenant that Yahweh has made with you by giving you this promise with all these words.”
9 Mose àti Aaroni, Nadabu àti Abihu àti àádọ́rin àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli gòkè lọ.
Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders went up the mountain.
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.
They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there was a pavement made of sapphire stone, as clear as the sky itself.
11 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run kò gbé ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sókè sí àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli wọ̀nyí; wọ́n ri Ọlọ́run, wọ́n jẹ, wọ́n sì mu.
God did not lay a hand on the Israelite leaders. 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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay there. I will give you the tablets of stone and the law and commandments that I have written, so that you may teach them.”
13 Nígbà náà ni Mose jáde lọ pẹ̀lú Joṣua arákùnrin rẹ̀. Mose lọ sí orí òkè Ọlọ́run.
So Moses set out with his assistant Joshua and went up 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.”
Moses had said to the elders, “Stay here and wait for us until we come to you. Aaron and Hur are with you. If anyone has a dispute, let him go to them.”
15 Nígbà tí Mose gun orí òkè lọ, ìkùùkuu bo orí òkè náà.
So Moses went up the mountain, and the cloud covered it.
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.
Yahweh's glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day he called to Moses from within the cloud.
17 Ni ojú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ògo Olúwa náà dàbí iná ajónirun ni orí òkè.
The appearance of Yahweh's glory was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the Israelites.
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.
Moses entered the cloud and went up the mountain. He was up the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
