< Exodus 19 >

1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
Amy volam-paha-telo niengà’ o ana’ Israeleo an-tane Mits­raimey, le tsatok’ amy àndro zay t’ie nivotrake am-patrambei’ i Sinay eo.
2 When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
Fa niakara’ iareo ty Refidime le nipok’ am-patrambei’ i Sinay vaho nitobe an-dratraratra ey. Aa le nañialo aolo’ i vohitsey t’Israele.
3 Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
Niañambone mb’ aman’ Añahare mb’eo amy zao t’i Mosè, le nikanjy aze boak’ am-bohitsey t’Iehovà ami’ty hoe, Ty hoe ty ho saon­tsie’o amy hasavereña’ Iakòbey vaho ty hatao’o amo ana’ Israeleo:
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
Fa niisa’ areo ty nanoeko amy Mitsraime naho nibabeako añ’elam-bantio ninday anahareo mb’amako mb’atoy.
5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from amongst all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
Ie amy zao naho toe janjiñe’ areo ty feoko naho mañambeñe i fañinakoy, le ho vàrako miambake te amy ze hene ondaty. Fonga ahiko ty tane toy.
6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
Le ho fifeheam-pisoroñe amako naho fifelehañe miavake nahareo. Zay ty entañe ho saontsie’o amo ana’ Israeleo.
7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.
Aa le nimb’eo t’i Mosè nikoike o androanavi’ ondatio vaho natrefe’e am’ iereo i nampitsara’ Iehovà azey.
8 All the people answered together, and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.
Le fonga nanoiñe an-kapindre ondatio, ty hoe, Ho henefa’ay ze tsinara’ Iehovà. Aa le nabali’ i Mosè am’ Iehovà i saontsi’ ondatioy.
9 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Hehe, te miheo mb’ama’o an-drahoñe milodolodo ao raho, soa t’ie mivolañe, le ho janjiñe’ ondatio rehe vaho hatokisa’ iareo nainai’e. Ie tinaro’ i Mosè am’ Iehovà i saontsi’ ondatioy,
10 The LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Akia mb’ am’ ondatio mb’eo naho ampiavaho te anito naho hamaray vaho ampanasao iareo o lamba’eo.
11 and be ready for the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
Le ampihentseño ho ami’ty andro faha-telo fa herone ty hizo­tsoa’ Iehovà am-Bohi-Sinay am-pahaisaha’ ze hene ondaty.
12 You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
Ampiarikoboño efetsefetse ty am’ondatio ty vohitse toy vaho ano ty hoe, Mitaoa tsy hiañambone mb’ambohitsey le ko tsapaeñe ty indra’e, fa havetrake ze mitsapa o vohi­tseo.
13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
Tsy ho tsapaem-pitàñe, fa ho fetsaham-bato ndra tomboheñe ndra t’ie ondaty ndra biby, fa tsy ho veloñe. Naho mivolañe i antsivay le hitotoke amy vohitsey iereo.
14 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
Aa le nizotso i vohitsey mb’ am’ ondatio t’i Mosè naho nampiavahe’e ondatio vaho nanasa lamba iereo.
15 He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
Le hoe re am’ ondatio, Mihentseña ho ami’ ty herone, le ko mitotoke ami’ty valy.
16 On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
Ie maraindrai’ i andro faha­teloy, le niparapapiake ty àmpiñe miharo helatse vaho ty rahoñe jabajaba amy vohitsey, le akore ty fipoñafa’ i antsivay kanao hene nihondrahondra ondaty an-tobeo.
17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
Nendese’ i Mosè niakatse i tobey ondatio hifañaoñ’ aman’ Añahare le nijohañe ambane’ i vohitsey.
18 All of Mount Sinai smoked, because the LORD descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
Kinolopon-katoeñe amy zao i vohi­tsey amy te nizotso ama’e ami’ty afo t’Iehovà; le nifororoake nañambone manahake ty hatoe’ o votrim-birìke sodorañeo ty hatoeñe vaho niozoñozoñe mafe i vohitsey.
19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
Ie nitolom-pipopo ty feo i antsivay, nihamatsiañe, le nisaontsy t’i Mosè vaho nanoiñe an-kotroke t’i Andria­nañahare.
20 The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. The LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
Ie nizotso mb’amy Vohi-Sinaiy mb’eo t’Iehovà, ambone’ i vohitsey eo, le kinanji’ Iehovà t’i Mosè hiañambone’ i vohitsey vaho niañambone mb’eo t’i Mosè.
21 The LORD said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Mizotsoa mb’eo le hatahatao ondatio tsy mone hisosoke mb’eo hisamba Iehovà; vaho hifitafita eo ty maro.
22 Let the priests also, who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break out on them.”
Le tsi-mete tsy mañefe-batañe hey o mpisoroñeo te hañarine Iehovà hera hiboroboñak’ ama’e t’Iehovà.
23 Moses said to the LORD, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
Hoe t’i Mosè amy Iehovà, Tsy mete ondatio ty homb’ am-Bohi-Sinay mb’ atoy; amy te Ihe ro nañatahata anay ami’ty hoe, Ampijadoño efetse hañarikatoke i vohi­tsey vaho ampiambaho.
24 The LORD said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron up with you, but don’t let the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break out against them.”
Hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Akia, mizotsoa, le mañambonea mb’ etoy, ihe mindre amy Aharone; le ko ado’o hiboroboñake hiañambone mb’am’ Iehovà o mpiaoloo ndra ondatio; tsy mone hitorotosira’e.
25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
Aa le nizotso mb’am’ ondatio mb’eo t’i Mosè ninday i tsaray.
