¹[Ny nitobian'ny Zanak'Isiraely teo an-efitr'i Sinay, sy ny fanekena nataon'Andriamanitra taminy] TAMIN'ny volana fahatelo taorian'ny nialan'ny Zanak'Isiraely tamin'ny tany Egypta, dia tamin'izany andro izany no nahatongavany tany an-efitr'i Sinay.

¹In 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.

²Ary rehefa nifindra niala teo Refidima izy ka tonga tany amin'ny efitr'i Sinay, dia nitoby teo amin'ny efitra; dia tandrifin'ny tendrombohitra no nitobian'ny Isiraely teo.

²When 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.

³Ary Mosesy niakatra ho ao amin'Andriamanitra, dia niantso azy Jehovah tao an-tendrombohitra ka nanao hoe: Izao no holazainao amin'ny taranak'i Jakoba sy hambaranao amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely:

³Moses 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:

⁴Hianareo efa nahita izay nataoko tamin'ny Egyptiana sy izay nitondrako anareo tamin'ny elatry ny voromahery ary ny nampankanesako anareo ho atỳ amiko.

⁴‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.

⁵Koa ankehitriny, raha hihaino ny feoko tokoa ianareo ka hitandrina ny fanekeko, dia ho rakitra soa ho Ahy mihoatra noho ny firenena rehetra ianareo; fa Ahy ny tany rehetra.

⁵Now 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;

⁶Dia ho fanjaka-mpisorona sy ho firenena masina ho Ahy ianareo. Ireo teny ireo no holazainao amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely.

⁶and 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.”

⁷Dia nandeha Mosesy ka nampaka ny loholon'ny vahoaka, dia nalahany teo anatrehany ireo teny rehetra ireo, izay nandidian'i Jehovah azy.

⁷Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.

⁸Dia namaly indray miredona ny olona rehetra ka nanao hoe: Izay teny rehetra nolazain'i Jehovah dia hataonay. Ary dia nentin'i Mosesy tao amin'i Jehovah kosa ny tenin'ny olona.

⁸All the people answered together, and said, “All that Yahweh has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh.

⁹[Ny fiomanan'ny Zanak'Isiraely alohan'ny nanomezan'Andriamanitra azy ny Lalàna] Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Indro Aho mankeo aminao ao anatin'ny rahona maizina, mba ho ren'ny olona raha miteny aminao Aho, ka dia hino anao mandrakariva izy. Dia nambaran'i Mosesy tamin'i Jehovah ny tenin'ny olona.

⁹Yahweh 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.

¹⁰Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Ma­ndehana ho eny amin'ny olona, ka manamasina azy anio sy ampitso, ary ampanasao ny fitafiany izy:

¹⁰Yahweh said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,

¹¹ary aoka samy hiomana ho amin'ny andro fahatelo izy; fa amin'ny andro fahatelo no hidinan'i Jehovah ho eo imason'ny olona rehetra eo an-tampon'ny tendrombohitra Sinay.

¹¹and be ready against the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.

¹²Dia hanisy fefy manodidina ho an'ny olona ianao ka hanao hoe: Mitandrema ianareo mba tsy hiakatra ao amin'ny tendrombohitra, na hikasika ny sisiny akory aza; fa na iza na iza mikasika ny tendrombohitra dia hatao maty tokoa;

¹²You 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.

¹³tsy hisy tanana hikasika azy, fa hotoraham-bato tokoa izy, na hotifirina tokoa, na biby na olona, tsy mba hovelomina izy; fa raha manao feo lavareny ny anjomara, dia vao hiakatra ho ao amin'ny tendrombohitra izy.

¹³No 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.”

¹⁴Dia nidina avy tao amin'ny tendrombohitra Mosesy ka nankeny amin'ny olona; dia nanamasina ny olona izy, ka samy nanasa ny fitafiany.

¹⁴Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

¹⁵Ary hoy izy tamin'ny olona: Miomàna ianareo ho amin'ny andro fahatelo; aza manakaiky vehivavy akory.

¹⁵He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Don’t have sexual relations with a woman.”

¹⁶Ary nony tamin'ny marain'ny andro fahatelo dia nisy kotrokorana sy helatra ary rahona matevina teo amin'ny tendrombohitra, ary nisy feon'anjomara mafy indrindra, dia toran-kovitra ny olona rehetra izay teo an-toby.

¹⁶It happened on the third day, when it was morning, that 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.

¹⁷Ary Mosesy nitondra ny olona nivoaka avy teo an-toby mba hihaona amin'Andriamanitra; dia nijanona teo am-bodin'ny tendrombohitra izy.

¹⁷Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.

¹⁸Ary ny tendrombohitra Sinay nivoa-tsetroka avokoa, satria Jehovah nidina teo amboniny tao anaty afo; dia niakatra ny setroka tahaka ny setroky ny lafaoro lehibe, ary nihorohoro mafy ny tendrombohitra Sinay rehetra.

¹⁸Mount Sinai, all it, smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

¹⁹Ary rehefa notsofina ny anjomara ka nidradradradra, dia niteny Mosesy, ary Andriamanitra namaly feo azy.

¹⁹When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

²⁰Ary Jehovah nidina nankeo an-tendrombohitra Sinay, dia teo an-tampon'ny tendrombohitra; ary Jehovah niantso an'i Mosesy hankeo an-tampon'ny tendrombohitra; dia niakatra Mosesy.

²⁰Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

²¹Ary hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Midìna, ka pepero ny olona, fandrao hisisika hankao amin'i Jehovah izy mba hijery ka hahafatesana maro.

²¹Yahweh said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.

²²Ary aoka ny mpisorona koa, izay manakaiky an'i Jehovah, hanamasina ny tenany, fandrao himaona hamely azy Jehovah.

²²Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break forth on them.”

²³Ary hoy Mosesy tamin'i Jehovah: Tsy mahazo miakatra ho eto amin'ny tendrombohitra Sinay ny olona; fa Hianao nandidy anay ka nanao hoe: Fefeo ny tendrombohitra, ka hamasino izy.

²³Moses 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.’”

²⁴Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Mandehana midina, nefa miakara ianao, ka ento hiaraka aminao Arona; fa ny mpisorona sy ny olona dia aza avela hisisika hiakatra ho ao amin'i Jehovah, fandrao haringana izy.Ary Mosesy dia nidina nankeny amin'ny olona ka niteny taminy.

²⁴Yahweh said to him, “Go down and 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 forth on them.”

²⁵Ary Mosesy dia nidina nankeny amin'ny olona ka niteny taminy.

²⁵So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
