اَلْخُرُوجُ 24

١ 1 وَقَالَ لِمُوسَى: «ٱصْعَدْ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ أَنْتَ وَهَارُونُ وَنَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو، وَسَبْعُونَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَٱسْجُدُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.

The Lord told Moses, “Come up to the Lord—you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders. You are to worship at a distance.

٢ 2 وَيَقْتَرِبُ مُوسَى وَحْدَهُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ، وَهُمْ لَا يَقْتَرِبُونَ. وَأَمَّا ٱلشَّعْبُ فَلَا يَصْعَدْ مَعَهُ».

Only Moses may approach the Lord—the others must not come near. The people may not go up the mountain with him.”

٣ 3 فَجَاءَ مُوسَى وَحَدَّثَ ٱلشَّعْبَ بِجَمِيعِ أَقْوَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلْأَحْكَامِ، فَأَجَابَ جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ بِصَوْتٍ وَاحِدٍ وَقَالُوا: «كُلُّ ٱلْأَقْوَالِ ٱلَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا ٱلرَّبُّ نَفْعَلُ».

Moses went and told the people all the Lord's instructions and regulations. They all responded together: “We will do everything the Lord says!”

٤ 4 فَكَتَبَ مُوسَى جَمِيعَ أَقْوَالِ ٱلرَّبِّ. وَبَكَّرَ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَبَنَى مَذْبَحًا فِي أَسْفَلِ ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَمُودًا لِأَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلِٱثْنَيْ عَشَرَ.

Moses wrote down everything the Lord had said. He got up early the following morning and built an altar at the bottom of the mountain, and set up twelve pillars for each of the twelve tribes of Israel.

٥ 5 وَأَرْسَلَ فِتْيَانَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَصْعَدُوا مُحْرَقَاتٍ، وَذَبَحُوا ذَبَائِحَ سَلَامَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ مِنَ ٱلثِّيرَانِ.

Then he sent out some young Israelite men who went and offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the Lord.

٦ 6 فَأَخَذَ مُوسَى نِصْفَ ٱلدَّمِ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي ٱلطُّسُوسِ. وَنِصْفَ ٱلدَّمِ رَشَّهُ عَلَى ٱلْمَذْبَحِ.

Moses put half of the blood into bowls, and sprinkled the other half on the altar.

٧ 7 وَأَخَذَ كِتَابَ ٱلْعَهْدِ وَقَرَأَ فِي مَسَامِعِ ٱلشَّعْبِ، فَقَالُوا: «كُلُّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ نَفْعَلُ وَنَسْمَعُ لَهُ».

Then he picked up the Book of the Agreement and read it to the people. They replied, “We will do everything the Lord says. We will obey.”

٨ 8 وَأَخَذَ مُوسَى ٱلدَّمَ وَرَشَّ عَلَى ٱلشَّعْبِ وَقَالَ: «هُوَذَا دَمُ ٱلْعَهْدِ ٱلَّذِي قَطَعَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ عَلَى جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ ٱلْأَقْوَالِ».

So Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the agreement that the Lord has made with you following these terms.”

٩ 9 ثُمَّ صَعِدَ مُوسَى وَهَارُونُ وَنَادَابُ وَأَبِيهُو وَسَبْعُونَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إِسْرَائِيلَ،

Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders climbed up the mountain,

١٠ 10 وَرَأَوْا إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَتَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ شِبْهُ صَنْعَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْعَقِيقِ ٱلْأَزْرَقِ ٱلشَّفَّافِ، وَكَذَاتِ ٱلسَّمَاءِ فِي ٱلنَّقَاوَةِ.

and they saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a tiled pavement made of lapis lazuli, as clear blue as the sky itself.

١١ 11 وَلَكِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمُدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى أَشْرَافِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. فَرَأَوْا ٱللهَ وَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا.

But God did not harm the leaders of Israel—they saw him, and they ate and drank a sacred meal.

١٢ 12 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱصْعَدْ إِلَيَّ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، وَكُنْ هُنَاكَ، فَأُعْطِيَكَ لَوْحَيِ ٱلْحِجَارَةِ وَٱلشَّرِيعَةِ وَٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي كَتَبْتُهَا لِتَعْلِيمِهِمْ».

Then the Lord told Moses, “Come up the mountain to me, and stay here, so I can give you the stone tablets, with the instructions and commands I have written for them to learn.”

١٣ 13 فَقَامَ مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ خَادِمُهُ. وَصَعِدَ مُوسَى إِلَى جَبَلِ ٱللهِ.

So Moses left with Joshua his attendant and climbed up the mountain of God.

١٤ 14 وَأَمَّا ٱلشُّيُوخُ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ: «ٱجْلِسُوا لَنَا هَهُنَا حَتَّى نَرْجِعَ إِلَيْكُمْ. وَهُوَذَا هَارُونُ وَحُورُ مَعَكُمْ. فَمَنْ كَانَ صَاحِبَ دَعْوَى فَلْيَتَقَدَّمْ إِلَيْهِمَا».

He told the elders, “Stay here and wait for us to return. Aaron and Hur are with you. If anyone has a problem, they can talk with them.”

١٥ 15 فَصَعِدَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ، فَغَطَّى ٱلسَّحَابُ ٱلْجَبَلَ،

As Moses climbed up on the mountain, the cloud covered it

١٦ 16 وَحَلَّ مَجْدُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، وَغَطَّاهُ ٱلسَّحَابُ سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ دُعِيَ مُوسَى مِنْ وَسَطِ ٱلسَّحَابِ.

The Lord's glory came down on Mount Sinai, covering it for six days. On the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from inside the cloud.

١٧ 17 وَكَانَ مَنْظَرُ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَنَارٍ آكِلَةٍ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ أَمَامَ عُيُونِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

To the Israelites the Lord's glory looked like a burning fire on the top of the mountain.

١٨ 18 وَدَخَلَ مُوسَى فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسَّحَابِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى ٱلْجَبَلِ. وَكَانَ مُوسَى فِي ٱلْجَبَلِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً.

Moses went into the cloud as he climbed up on the mountain, and he stayed on the mountain for forty days and nights.
