< Exodus 24 >

1 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come to me, up [on top of this mountain], you and Aaron and [his sons] Nadab and Abihu. Also [take along] 70 of the Israeli elders/leaders. While you are still some distance [from the top of the mountain], prostrate yourselves [on the ground] and worship me.
Ket kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Sumang-atka kaniak—sika, ni Aaron, ni Nadab, ni Abiu, ken ti pitopulo kadagiti panglakayen dagiti Israel, ket agdayawkayo kaniak iti adayo.
2 Moses, [I will allow] you alone to come near to me. The others must not come near, and the [rest of the] people must not come up the mountain.”
Ni Moises laeng ti mabalin nga umasideg kaniak. Masapul a saan nga umasideg dagiti dadduma, ken masapul a sumang-at dagiti tattao iti ayanko a kaduada isuna.”
3 Moses/I went and told the people everything that Yahweh had said and all that he had commanded. The people all replied together, saying, “We will do everything that Yahweh has told us [to do].”
Napan imbaga ni Moises kadagiti tattao dagiti amin a sasao ken dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh. Simmungbat dagiti amin a tattao iti maymaysa a timek ket kinunada, “Aramidenmi dagiti amin nga imbaga ni Yahweh.”
4 Then Moses/I wrote down everything that Yahweh had commanded. Early the next morning Moses/I built a [stone] altar. He/I also set up twelve stones, one for each of the Israeli tribes.
Kalpasanna, insurat ni Moises dagiti amin a sasao ni Yahweh. Iti agsapa, nangipatakder ni Moises iti altar iti sakaanan ti bantay ken nangurnos iti sangapulo ket dua nga adigi a bato, tapno dagiti bato ti mangibagi kadagiti sangapulo ket dua a tribu iti Israel.
5 He/I also selected some young men. They burned sacrifices to Yahweh and they also sacrificed some cattle [that they did not burn completely], for the purpose of maintaining fellowship with Yahweh.
Imbaonna dagiti sumagmamano nga agtutubo a lallaki nga Israelita nga agidatag kadagiti daton a maipuor ken mangidatag iti bakan a kas daton a pannakilangen-langen kenni Yahweh.
6 Moses/I took half of the blood of the animals that were slaughtered and put it in bowls. The other half of the blood [he/I] threw/splashed against the altar.
Innala ni Moises ti kagudua iti dara ket inkabilna daytoy kadagiti palanggana; insuyatna ti kagudua iti rabaw ti altar.
7 Then he/I took the scroll on which he/I had written [everything that Yahweh had commanded in] the agreement that he had made, and he/I read it [aloud], while all the people were listening. Then all the people said, “We will do all that Yahweh has told us to do. We will obey [everything].”
Innalana ti Libro ti Tulag ket imbasana daytoy iti napigsa kadagiti tattao. Kinunada, “Aramidenmi amin dayta nga imbaga ni Yahweh. Agtulnogkami.”
8 Then Moses/I took the blood [that was in the bowls] and threw/splashed it on the people. He/I said, “This is the blood [that (confirms/puts into effect)] the agreement that Yahweh made with you when he gave you all these commands.”
Kalpasanna, innala ni Moises ti dara ket insuyatna daytoy kadagiti tattao. Kinunana, “Daytoy ti dara ti tulag nga inaramid ni Yahweh kadakayo babaen iti panangitedna iti daytoy a kari kadakayo babaen kadagitoy amin a sasao.”
9 Then Moses/I, along with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 Israeli elders/leaders, went up [the mountain],
Kalpasanna, simmang-at da Moises, Aaron, Nadab, Abiu ken dagiti pitopulo a panglakayen ti Israel iti bantay.
10 and they/we saw God, the one whom the Israeli people worship. Under his feet was something like a pavement [made of expensive blue stones called] sapphires. They were as clear as the sky is [when there are no clouds].
Nakitada ti Dios iti Israel. Iti babaen ti sakana ket adda iti pagnaan a naaramid iti bato a safiro, a kas kalawag ti tangatang.
11 God did not harm [MTY] those Israeli elders/leaders [because of their having seen him]. They saw God, and they ate and drank together! [Then we all went back down the mountain].
Saan a dinangran ti Dios iti pungtotna dagiti mangidadaulo nga Israelita. Nakitada ti Dios, ket nangan ken imminomda.
12 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Come up to me [again] on [top of this] mountain. While you are here, I will give you [two] stone slabs on which I have written all the laws [DOU] that I have given to you to instruct/teach [the people].”
Kinuna ni Yahweh kenni Moises, “Sumang-atka kaniak idiay bantay ket agtalinaedka sadiay. Itedkonto kenka dagiti tapi ti bato ken ti linteg ken dagiti bilbilin nga insuratko, tapno isurom kadakuada.”
13 So Moses/I told the elders, “Stay here [with the other people] until we return! Do not forget that Aaron and Hur will be with you. So if anyone has a dispute [while I am gone], he can go to those two men.” Then Moses/I went with his/my servant Joshua [part of the way] up the mountain that [was dedicated to] God.
Nagsagana ngarud ni Moises ken ti katulonganna a ni Josue ket simmang-atda iti bantay ti Dios.
Kinuna ni Moises kadagiti panglakayen, “Agtalinaedkayo ditoy ken urayendakami agingga nga agsublikami kadakayo. Adda ni Aaron ken Hur a kaduayo. No adda riri ti siasinoman, mapan koma isuna kadakuada.”
15 Then Moses/I went the [rest of the way] up the mountain. A cloud covered the mountain.
Simmang-at ngarud ni Moises iti bantay, ket linengdan daytoy iti ulep.
16 The (glory/brilliant light) of Yahweh came down on the mountain and covered it for six days. On the seventh day, Yahweh called to Moses/me from the middle of the cloud.
Bimmaba ti dayag ni Yahweh iti tapaw ti Bantay Sinai, ket kinalluban daytoy iti ulep iti las-ud ti innem nga aldaw. Iti maikapito nga aldaw, inawagan ni Yahweh ni Moises manipud iti ulep.
17 When the Israeli people [looked at] the top of the mountain, the glory of Yahweh was like a big fire that was burning [there].
Ti panagparang ti dayag ni Yahweh ket kasla iti makauram nga apuy iti tapaw ti bantay iti imatang dagiti Israelita.
18 Moses/I went into the cloud on top of the mountain. He/I was there for 40 days and nights.
Simrek ni Moises iti ulep ket simmang-at iti bantay. Adda isuna idiay ngato iti bantay iti las-ud iti uppat a pulo nga aldaw ken rabii.
