Eksodosy 24

1 Ary hoy Izy tamin’ i Mosesy: Miakara ao amin’ i Jehovah ianao sy Arona sy Nadaba sy Abiho ary fito-polo lahy amin’ ny loholon’ ny Isiraely; ka miankohofa eny lavitra eny ianareo;

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to the LORD—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel’s elders—and you are to worship at a distance.

2 nefa Mosesy ihany no hanakaiky an’ i Jehovah, fa ireo tsy mba hanakaiky; ary ny olona tsy hiakatra homba azy.

Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but the others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”

3 Dia tonga Mosesy ka nanambara tamin’ ny olona ny teny rehetra izay nataon’ i Jehovah sy ny fitsipika rehetra. Ary namaly indray miredona ny olona rehetra ka nanao hoe: Ny teny rehetra izay nolazain’ i Jehovah dia hataonay.

When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”

4 Ary Mosesy nanoratra ny teny rehetra nataon’ i Jehovah, dia nifoha maraina koa ka nanorina alitara teo am-bodin’ ny tendrombohitra sy tsangam-bato roa ambin’ ny folo, araka ny firenen’ Isiraely roa ambin’ ny folo.

And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 Ary ny zatovo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely nirahiny, dia nitondra fanatitra dorana ireo ka namono vantotr’ ombilahy hatao fanati-pihavanana ho an’ i Jehovah.

Then he sent out some young men of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the LORD.

6 Ary nalain’ i Mosesy ny antsasaky ny rà ka nataony teo anaty lovia, ary ny antsasaky ny rà kosa natopiny teo amin’ ny alitara.

Moses took half of the blood and put it in bowls, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar.

7 Dia naka ny bokin’ ny fanekena izy ka namaky teny teo anatrehan’ ny olona. Ary hoy ny olona: Izay rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah dia hataonay sy hekenay.

Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people, who replied, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient.”

8 Ary nalain’ i Mosesy ny rà ka natopiny tamin’ ny olona, dia hoy izy: Indro ny ran’ ny fanekena izay nataon’ i Jehovah taminareo ny amin’ izany teny rehetra izany.

So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

9 Dia niakatra Mosesy sy Arona sy Nadaba sy Abiho ary fito-polo lahy tamin’ ny loholon’ ny Isiraely.

Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,

10 Dia nahita an’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely izy; koa ny teo ambanin’ ny tongony dia toy ny fanganohanon’ ny vato safira voavoatra, ary toy ny tenan’ ny lanitra ny famirapirany.

and they saw the God of Israel. Under His feet was a work like a pavement made of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.

11 Ary tsy naninjitra ny tànany tamin’ ireo lehiben’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely Izy; dia nahita an’ Andriamanitra izy ireo, ary nihinana sy nisotro.

But God did not lay His hand on the nobles of Israel; they saw Him, and they ate and drank.

12 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Miakara eto amiko eto an-tendrombohitra ka mitoera eto, dia homeko anao ny vato fisaka izay misy ny lalàna sy ny didy, izay nosoratako hampianarina azy.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and stay here, so that I may give you the tablets of stone, with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.”

13 Dia niainga Mosesy sy Josoa mpanompony; ary Mosesy dia niakatra tao an-tendrombohitr’ Andriamanitra.

So Moses set out with Joshua his attendant and went up on the mountain of God.

14 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny loholona: Miandrasa anay eto mandra-piverinay eto aminareo; ary, indro, Arona sy Hora dia eto aminareo, koa raha misy olona manana ady, aoka hankeo amin’ izy roa lahy izy.

And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we return to you. Aaron and Hur are here with you. Whoever has a dispute can go to them.”

15 Dia niakatra tao amin’ ny tendrombohitra Mosesy, ary ny rahona nanarona ny tendrombohitra.

When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it,

16 Ary ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah nitoetra teo ambonin’ ny tendrombohitra Sinay, ary ny rahona nanarona azy henemana; dia niantso an’ i Mosesy tamin’ ny andro fahafito teo afovoan’ ny rahona Izy.

and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered it, and on the seventh day the LORD called to Moses from within the cloud.

17 Ary ny fijery ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra dia tahaka ny afo mandevona teo imason’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like a consuming fire on the mountaintop in the eyes of the Israelites.

18 Dia niditra tao afovoan’ ny rahona Mosesy ka niakatra tao amin’ ny tendrombohitra; ary nitoetra tao amin’ ny tendrombohitra efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina Mosesy.

Moses entered the cloud as he went up on the mountain, and he remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
