Exodus 24

1 He said to Moses, “Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

Alò, Li te di a Moïse: “Vin monte vè SENYÈ a, ou menm avèk Aaron, Nadab, Abihu avèk swasann-dis nan ansyen Israël yo, e nou va adore a yon distans.

2 Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”

Men se sèl Moïse k ap vin toupre SENYÈ a, men yo menm p ap vin pre. Pèp la p ap monte avèk li.”

3 Moses came and told the people all Yahweh’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do.”

Alò Moïse te vin rakonte a pèp la tout pawòl a SENYÈ a yo, avèk tout òdonans yo; epi tout pèp la te reponn avèk yon sèl vwa. Yo te di: “Tout pawòl sa yo ke SENYÈ a pale, nou va fè yo!”

4 Moses wrote all Yahweh’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

Moïse te ekri tout pawòl SENYÈ a yo. Konsa, li te leve granmmaten e li te bati yon lotèl nan pye mòn nan avèk douz pilye pou douz tribi Israël yo.

5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

Li te voye jèn mesye nan fis Israël yo, yo te ofri ofrann brile e yo te fè sakrifis jèn towo kòm ofrann lapè bay SENYÈ a.

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

Moïse te pran mwatye nan san an. Li te mete li nan basen yo, e lòt mwatye san an li te aspèje li sou lotèl la.

7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that Yahweh has said, and be obedient.”

Epi li te pran liv akò a, e li te li li nan zòrèy a tout pèp la. Epi yo te di: “Tout sa ke SENYÈ a pale, nou va fè yo, e nou va obeyi yo.”

8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words.”

Alò, Moïse te pran san an. Li te aspèje li sou pèp la. Li te di: “Gade byen san akò a, ke SENYÈ a te fè avèk nou selon tout pawòl sa yo.”

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

Alò, Moïse te pran Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, ak swasann-dis nan ansyen Israël yo pou monte.

10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

Yo te wè Bondye Israël la. Anba pye li, te parèt yon choz tankou yon pave ki fèt an safì, klè tankou syèl la menm.

11 He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

Malgre Li pa t lonje men Li kont prens Israël sa yo. Yo te wè Bondye, yo te manje e yo te bwè.

12 Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”

Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse: “Vin monte vè Mwen nan mòn nan e rete la, epi Mwen va bay ou tab wòch yo avèk lalwa ak kòmandman ke M te ekri pou enstwi yo.”

13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.

Alò, Moïse te leve avèk Josué, sèvitè li a, e Moïse te monte nan mòn Bondye a.

14 He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”

Men a ansyen yo li te di: “Tann isit la pou nou jis lè nou retounen kote nou. Epi gade byen, Aaron avèk Hur isit avèk nou. Nenpòt moun ki genyen yon pwosè lalwa kapab pwoche yo.”

15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

Alò Moïse te monte nan mòn nan, e nwaj la te kouvri mòn nan.

16 Yahweh’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.

Glwa SENYÈ a te rete sou Mòn Sinai a, e nwaj la te kouvri li pandan sis jou. Nan setyèm jou a, Li te rele Moïse soti nan mitan nwaj la.

17 The appearance of Yahweh’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

Nan zye a fis Israël yo, aparans glwa SENYÈ a te tankou yon dife ki t ap ravaje sou tèt mòn nan.

18 Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Moïse te antre nan mitan nwaj la pandan li te monte sou mòn nan. Konsa, Moïse te rete sou mòn nan pandan karant jou ak karant nwit.
