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.
Nʼọnwa nke atọ, site nʼoge ndị Izrel hapụchara obodo Ijipt, nʼụbọchị ahụ, ha bịaruru ọzara Saịnaị.
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.
Ọ bụ site na Refidim ka ha sị bịaruo ọzara Saịnaị, mee ebe obibi ha nʼebe ahụ, nʼakụkụ ugwu Saịnaị.
3 Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
Mosis rigooro nʼelu ugwu ahụ izute Chineke. Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼelu ugwu ahụ kpọ Mosis oku sị ya, “Otu a ka ị ga-esi gwa ụlọ Jekọb okwu. Ị ga-akọrọ ụmụ Izrel:
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
‘Unu onwe unu ahụla ihe m mere ndị Ijipt, hụkwa otu m siri buru unu na nku ugo, si otu a, dọtara unu onwe m.
5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
Nʼihi nke a, ọ bụrụ na unu ga-erubere m isi nke ọma ma debe ọgbụgba ndụ m, unu ga-abụ ihe onwunwe nke m dị oke ọnụahịa. Nʼezie, ụwa niile bụ nke m,
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.”
ma unu ga-abụrụ m alaeze ndị nchụaja, na mba dị nsọ.’ Okwu ndị a ka ị ga-agwa ụmụ Izrel.”
7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.
Mosis gara kpọkọta ndị okenye ndị Izrel, gwa ha okwu niile nke Onyenwe anyị nyere ya nʼiwu.
8 All the people answered together, and said, “All that Yahweh has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh.
Ndị mmadụ niile a jikwa otu olu zaghachi ya sị, “Ihe ọbụla Onyenwe anyị kwuru ka anyị ga-eme.” Mosis gwara Onyenwe anyị ihe niile ndị Izrel kwuru.
9 Yahweh 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 Yahweh.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Lee, agaje m izute gị nʼime igwe ojii gbara ọchịchịrị. Achọrọ m ka ụmụ Izrel niile were ntị ha nụrụ mgbe m ga-agwa gị okwu, ọzọkwa, ka ha kwerekwa na gị ruo mgbe niile.” Mosis gwara ndị Izrel niile okwu nke Onyenwe anyị gwara ya.
10 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu ọzọ sị, “Rịdakwuru ndị m, doo ha nsọ taa na echi. Nʼihi na nke a ga-abụ nkwado ha izute m. Ka ha saa uwe ha mmiri,
11 and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
jikerekwa nʼụbọchị nke atọ. Nʼihi na m ga-arịdata nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị nʼihu mmadụ niile.
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.
Ị ga-akpa oke nʼebe ha na-agaghị agafe. Nye ha iwu si ha, ‘Kpacharanụ anya ka unu ghara ịbịa ugwu ahụ nso, maọbụ metụ ala ugwu ahụ aka. Nʼihi na onye ọ bụla metụrụ ugwu ahụ aka aghaghị ịnwụ.’
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.”
Agaghị emetụ onye mmebi iwu ahụ aka, kama, a ga-eji nkume tugbuo ya, maọbụ e were àkụ gbagbuo ya, maọbụ mmadụ maọbụ anụmanụ, ọ gaghị adị ndụ. Mmadụ ọbụla agaghị abịaru ugwu ahụ nso, ruo mgbe ha nụrụ opi nke a ga-afụ. Mgbe ahụ, ha nwere ike bịa nso ugwu ahụ.”
14 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
Ya mere, Mosis si nʼugwu ahụ rịdakwuru ụmụ Izrel. O doo ndị mmadụ ahụ nsọ. Ha niile ji mmiri saa uwe ha.
15 He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”
Mosis dọrọ ha aka na ntị sị ha, “Jikerenụ nʼụbọchị nke atọ. Nwoke na nwanyị enwekwala mmekọrịta ọbụla.”
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.
Mgbe o ruru nʼụtụtụ ụbọchị nke atọ ahụ, oke igwe ojii kpuchiri elu ugwu ahụ. Amụma malitere na-egbuke, egbe eluigwe malitekwara ịgba. Nʼikpeazụ, opi ike dara. Mmadụ niile tụrụ egwu, makwa jijiji.
17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
Mosis duuru ndị mmadụ ahụ niile si nʼụlọ ikwu ha pụta gaa izute Chineke. Ha niile guzokwara nʼala ugwu ahụ.
18 All of Mount Sinai smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
Mgbe ahụ, anwụrụ ọkụ kpuchiri ugwu Saịnaị. Ma lee! Onyenwe anyị rịdatara dịka ire ọkụ nʼelu ugwu ahụ. Anwụrụ ọkụ rigoro elu dịka anwụrụ ọkụ nke ọhịa na-ere ọkụ. Ala ọma jijiji dị ukwuu dakwasịkwara ugwu ahụ.
19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
Mgbe opi ike ahụ na-ada ike ike, Mosis malitere ịgwa Chineke okwu. Chineke zaghachiri Mosis okwu site nʼolu dara ụda dịka egbe eluigwe.
20 Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
Onyenwe anyị rịdatara bịaruo nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị. Ọ gwara Mosis ka ọ rịgota bịa zute ya. Mosis rigoro nʼelu ugwu ahụ ijekwuru Chineke.
21 Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.
Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Rịda gaa dọọ ndị mmadụ ahụ aka na ntị ka ha ghara ịgafe oke ala ahụ bịaruo nso ịhụ Onyenwe anyị anya ka ha ghara ịla nʼiyi.
22 Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break out on them.”
Ọ bụladị ndị nchụaja ndị chọrọ ịbịaru Onyenwe anyị nso aghaghị ido onwe ha nsọ. Ma ọ bụghị otu a, Onyenwe anyị ga-eme ka ha niile nwụọ.”
23 Moses said to Yahweh, “The people can’t come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
Mosis zaghachiri Onyenwe anyị sị, “Ndị mmadụ agaghị arịgota nʼugwu Saịnaị nʼihi na gị onwe gị adọọla anyị aka na ntị sị, ‘Kpaanụ oke gburugburu ugwu a, doo ya nsọ.’”
24 Yahweh 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 Yahweh, lest he break out against them.”
Ma Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị: “Gbada gaa kpọgota Erọn ka gị na ya soro rigota nʼelu ugwu a. Ma lezie anya ka ndị nchụaja na ndị Izrel ghara irigota nʼebe a ịbịakwute Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ bụghị otu a, ọ ga-eji ike laa ha nʼiyi.”
25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
Ya mere, Mosis rịdakwuru ndị Izrel ga gwa ha.
