Eksodosy 19
1 Tamin’ ny volana fahatelo taorian’ ny nialan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny tany Egypta, dia tamin’ izany andro izany no nahatongavany tany an-efitr’ i Sinay.
In the third month of the departure of Israel from the land of Egypt, in that day, they arrived in the wilderness of Sinai.
2 Ary rehefa nifindra niala teo Refidima izy ka tonga tany amin’ ny efitr’ i Sinay, dia nitoby teo amin’ ny efitra; dia tandrifin’ ny tendrombohitra no nitobian’ ny Isiraely teo.
Thus, setting out from Raphidim, and going directly to the desert of Sinai, they encamped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents away from the region of the mountain.
3 Ary Mosesy niakatra ho ao amin’ Andriamanitra, dia niantso azy Jehovah tao an-tendrombohitra ka nanao hoe: Izao no holazainao amin’ ny taranak’ i Jakoba sy hambaranao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely:
Then Moses ascended to God. And the Lord called to him from the mountain, and he said: “This you shall say to the house of Jacob, and announce to the sons of Israel:
4 Hianareo efa nahita izay nataoko tamin’ ny Egyptiana sy izay nitondrako anareo tamin’ ny elatry ny voromahery ary ny nampankanesako anareo ho atỳ amiko.
‘You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, in what way I carried you upon the wings of eagles and how I have taken you for myself.
5 Koa ankehitriny, raha hihaino ny feoko tokoa ianareo ka hitandrina ny fanekeko, dia ho rakitra soa ho Ahy mihoatra noho ny firenena rehetra ianareo; fa Ahy ny tany rehetra.
If, therefore, you will hear my voice, and you will keep my covenant, you will be to me a particular possession out of all people. For all the earth is mine.
6 Dia ho fanjaka-mpisorona sy ho firenena masìna ho Ahy ianareo. Ireo teny ireo no holazainao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
And you will be to me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you will speak to the sons of Israel.”
7 Dia nandeha Mosesy ka nampaka ny loholon’ ny vahoaka, dia nalahany teo anatrehany ireo teny rehetra ireo, izay nandidian’ i Jehovah azy.
Moses went, and calling together those greater by birth among the people, he set forth all the words which the Lord had commanded.
8 Dia namaly indray miredona ny olona rehetra ka nanao hoe: Izay teny rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah dia hataonay. Ary dia nentin’ i Mosesy tao amin’ i Jehovah kosa ny tenin’ ny olona.
And all the people responded together: “Everything that the Lord has spoken, we shall do.” And when Moses had related the words of the people to the Lord,
9 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro Aho mankeo aminao ao anatin’ ny rahona maizina, mba ho ren’ ny olona raha miteny aminao Aho, ka dia hino anao mandrakariva izy. Dia nambaran’ i Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah ny tenin’ ny olona.
the Lord said to him: “Soon now, I will come to you in the mist of a cloud, so that the people may hear me speaking to you, and so that they may believe you continuously.” Therefore, Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord,
10 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Mandehana ho eny amin’ ny olona, ka manamasìna azy anio sy ampitso, ary ampanasao ny fitafiany izy:
who said to him: “Go to the people, and sanctify them today, and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments.
11 ary aoka samy hiomana ho amin’ ny andro fahatelo izy; fa amin’ ny andro fahatelo no hidinan’ i Jehovah ho eo imason’ ny olona rehetra eo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra Sinay.
And let them be prepared on the third day. For on the third day, the Lord will descend, in the sight of all the people, over Mount Sinai.
12 Dia hanisy fefy manodidina ho an’ ny olona ianao ka hanao hoe: Mitandrema ianareo mba tsy hiakatra ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra, na hikasika ny sisiny akory aza; fa na iza na iza mikasika ny tendrombohitra dia hatao maty tokoa;
And you will establish limits for the people all around, and you will say to them: ‘Take care not to ascend to the mountain, and that you do not touch its parts. All who touch the mountain, shall die a death.’
13 tsy hisy tanana hikasika azy, fa hotoraham-bato tokoa izy, na hotifirina tokoa, na biby na olona, tsy mba hovelomina izy; fa raha manao feo lavareny ny anjomara, dia vao hiakatra ho ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra izy.
Hands shall not touch him, but he shall be crushed with stones, or he shall be pierced through with darts. Whether it be a beast or a man, he shall not live. For when the trumpet begins to sound, perhaps they might go up toward the mountain.”
14 Dia nidina avy tao amin’ ny tendrombohitra Mosesy ka nankeny amin’ ny olona; dia nanamasina ny olona izy, ka samy nanasa ny fitafiany.
And Moses came down from the mountain to the people, and he sanctified them. And when they had washed their garments,
15 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny olona: Miomàna ianareo ho amin’ ny andro fahatelo; aza manakaiky vehivavy akory.
he said to them, “Be prepared on the third day, and do not draw near to your wives.”
16 Ary nony tamin’ ny marain’ ny andro fahatelo dia nisy kotrokorana sy helatra ary rahona matevina teo amin’ ny tendrombohitra, ary nisy feon’ anjomara mafy indrindra, dia toran-kovitra ny olona rehetra izay teo an-toby.
And now, the third day arrived and the morning dawned. And behold, thunders began to be heard, and also lightning flashed, and a very dense cloud covered the mountain, and the noise of the trumpet resounded vehemently. And the people who were in the camp were fearful.
17 Ary Mosesy nitondra ny olona nivoaka avy teo an-toby mba hihaona amin’ Andriamanitra; dia nijanona teo am-bodin’ ny tendrombohitra izy.
And when Moses had led them out to meet God, from the place of the camp, they stood at the base of the mountain.
18 Ary ny tendrombohitra Sinay nivoa-tsetroka avokoa, satria Jehovah nidina teo amboniny tao anaty afo; dia niakatra ny setroka tahaka ny setroky ny lafaoro lehibe, ary nihorohoro mafy ny tendrombohitra Sinay rehetra.
Then all of Mount Sinai was smoking. For the Lord had descended over it with fire, and smoke ascended from it, as from a furnace. And the entire mountain was terrible.
19 Ary rehefa notsofina ny anjomara ka nidradradradra, dia niteny Mosesy, ary Andriamanitra namaly feo azy.
And the sound of the trumpet gradually increased to be louder, and extended to be longer. Moses was speaking, and God was answering him.
20 Ary Jehovah nidina nankeo an-tendrombohitra Sinay, dia teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra; ary Jehovah niantso an’ i Mosesy hankeo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra; dia niakatra Mosesy.
And the Lord descended over Mount Sinai, to the very top of the mountain, and he called Moses to its summit. And when he had ascended there,
21 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Midìna, ka pepero ny olona, fandrao hisisika hankao amin’ i Jehovah izy mba hijery ka hahafatesana maro.
he said to him: “Descend, and call the people to witness, lest they might be willing to transgress the limits, so as to see the Lord, and a very great multitude of them might perish.
22 Ary aoka ny mpisorona koa, izay manakaiky an’ i Jehovah, hanamasina ny tenany, fandrao himaona hamely azy Jehovah.
Likewise, the priests who approach toward the Lord, let them be sanctified, lest he strike them down.”
23 Ary hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Jehovah: Tsy mahazo miakatra ho eto amin’ ny tendrombohitra Sinay ny olona; fa Hianao nandidy anay ka nanao hoe: Fefeo ny tendrombohitra, ka hamasino izy.
And Moses said to the Lord: “The people are not able to ascend to Mount Sinai. For you testified, and you commanded, saying: ‘Set limits around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
24 Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Mandehana midìna, nefa miakara ianao, ka ento hiaraka aminao Arona; fa ny mpisorona sy ny olona dia aza avela hisisika hiakatra ho ao amin’ i Jehovah, fandrao haringana izy.
And the Lord said to him, “Go, descend. And you shall ascend, and Aaron with you. But let not the priests or the people transgress the limits, nor ascend to the Lord, lest perhaps he may put them to death.”
25 Ary Mosesy dia nidina nankeny amin’ ny olona ka niteny taminy.
And Moses descended to the people, and he explained everything to them.
