¹In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

¹ Israyla izey Misira funyaŋo banda, handu hinzanta zaari sintina, han din hane no i furo Sinayi ganjo ra.

²For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

² Saaya kaŋ i tun Refidim, i to Sinayi ganjo ra ka zumbu noodin. Israyla izey na gata te noodin tondo tanjay.

³And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;

³ Musa mo kaaru ka koy Irikoy do. Rabbi jinda fun tondo boŋ k'a ce ka ne: «Yaa no ni ga ci Yakuba izey se, ma ne Israyla izey se:

⁴Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

⁴ ‹Araŋ di haŋ kaŋ ay te Misirancey se, mate kaŋ cine ay n'araŋ sambu zeeban fatayaŋ boŋ ka kande araŋ ay do.

⁵Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

⁵ Sohõ binde, da day daahir araŋ ga hangan ay sanno se, araŋ m'ay sappa haggoy mo, kal araŋ ga ciya ay wane yaŋ, ka goro waani ay se ndunnya dumey kulu ra, zama ndunnya kulu ya ay wane no.

⁶And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

⁶ Araŋ ga ciya alfagayaŋ kunda ay se, dumi hanante.› Sanney kaŋ ni ga ci Israyla izey se nooya.»

⁷And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

⁷ Musa kaa ka jama arkusey ce, ka sanney din kulu kaŋ Rabbi n'a lordi* nd'a ci i jine.

⁸And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

⁸ Jama kulu binde tu me folloŋ ka ne: «Hay kulu kaŋ Rabbi ci, iri g'a te.» Musa mo ye nda jama sanno Rabbi do.

⁹And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

⁹ Rabbi ne Musa se koyne: «Guna, ay goono ga kaa ni do hirriyaŋ bi ra, zama borey ma maa waati kaŋ ay ga salaŋ da nin, i ma naanay ni gaa mo hal abada.» Musa binde na jama sanney ci Rabbi se.

¹⁰And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

¹⁰ Kala Rabbi ne Musa se: «Ni ma koy jama do k'i hanandi hunkuna nda suba mo, i ma ngey bankaarayey nyuna.

¹¹And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

¹¹ I ma soola hala zaari hinzanta, zama zaari hinzanta hane Rabbi ga zumbu jama kulu jine Sinayi tondo boŋ.

¹²And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:

¹² Kala ni ma hirriyaŋ daŋ jama se ka tondo windi. Ma ne i se: ‹Araŋ ma laakal d'araŋ boŋ, araŋ ma si kaaru tondo boŋ, araŋ ma s'a jabo ham mo. Baafuna kaŋ na tondo ham kulu, sikka si i g'a wi.

¹³There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

¹³ Kambe kulu ma si lamb'a gaa bo, amma haciika i g'a catu ka wi nda tondiyaŋ, wala i m'a hay. Da alman no wala boro no, a ma si funa.› Saaya kaŋ hillo ga hẽ, i ma ziji tondo boŋ.»

¹⁴And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

¹⁴ Musa zumbu ka fun tondo boŋ ka kaa jama do. A na jama hanandi, i na ngey bankaaray nyuna mo.

¹⁵And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.

¹⁵ Kal a ne jama se: «Wa soola hala zaari hinzanta ga to. Araŋ ma si maan wayboro mo.»

¹⁶And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.

¹⁶ A ciya mo, zaari hinzanta hane kaŋ mo bo, i maa kaatiyaŋ. I di maliyaŋ da hirriyaŋ bi tondo boŋ. I maa hilli jinde kaŋ go ga hẽ da gaabi gumo. Jama kulu binde kaŋ go gatey ra gaahamey jijiri.

¹⁷And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

¹⁷ Musa nda borey mo fatta gata ra zama ngey ma Irikoy kubay, i kay mo tondo caso gaa.

¹⁸And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

¹⁸ Sinayi tondo kulu go ga dullu kaa, zama Rabbi zumbu a boŋ danji ra. Dullo binde ciciri danga yaara dullu cine. Tondo kulu jijiri gumo mo.

¹⁹And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

¹⁹ Hillo jinda go ga tonton da gaabi gumo. Musa go ga salaŋ, Irikoy mo go ga tu a se da jinde.

²⁰And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

²⁰ Rabbi zumbu Sinayi tondo yolla gaa. Rabbi na Musa ce a ma kaaru ka kaa tondo yolla gaa. Musa mo kaaru ka koy.

²¹And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.

²¹ Kala Rabbi ne Musa se: «Koy ka gaabandi borey se, i ma si bisa ka kaa Rabbi do gomdo se, hal i ra boro boobo ma si halaci.

²²And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.

²² Alfagey mo kaŋ yaŋ ga koy ka maan Rabbi do ma ngey boŋ hanandi, zama Rabbi ma si firsi i gaa se.»

²³And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

²³ Musa ne Rabbi se: «Borey si hin ka kaaru Sinayi tondo boŋ, zama ni jin ka sanno gaabandi iri se ka ne: ‹Ma hirriyaŋ daŋ tondo do haray. M'a hanandi k'a fay waani mo.› »

²⁴And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.

²⁴ Kala Rabbi ne: «Tun ka zumbu ganda. Ma ye ka kaaru koyne, nin da Haruna ni banda. Amma ma si naŋ alfagey da borey ma bisa ka kaaru ka kaa Rabbi do, a ma si firsi i gaa.»

²⁵So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.

²⁵ Musa zumbu borey do ka ci i se.
