¹V treťom mesiaci po vyjdení synov Izraelových z Egyptskej zeme, toho dňa prišli na púšť Sinai.

¹In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai,

²Lebo odíduc z Refidíma prišli na púšť Sinai, a rozložili sa táborom na púšti, a Izrael tam táboril naproti vrchu.

²and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there before the mount.

³A Mojžiš odišiel hore k Bohu. A Hospodin zavolal na neho s vrchu a povedal: Takto povieš domu Jakobovmu a oznámiš synom Izraelovým:

³And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, `Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel,

⁴Vy ste videli, čo som učinil Egypťanom, a niesol som vás ako na krýdlach orlov a doviedol som vás k sebe.

⁴Ye — ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and I bear you on eagles` wings, and bring you in unto Myself.

⁵Tak teraz ak naozaj budete poslúchať môj hlas a budete ostríhať moju smluvu, budete mi zvláštnym vlastníctvom nad všetky národy, lebo veď moja je celá zem.

⁵`And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth [is] Mine;

⁶A vy mi budete kráľovstvom kňazov a svätým národom. To sú tie slová, ktoré budeš hovoriť synom Izraelovým.

⁶and ye — ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these [are] the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.`

⁷Keď potom prišiel Mojžiš, povolal starších ľudu a predložil im všetky tieto slová, ktoré mu prikázal Hospodin.

⁷And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him;

⁸A odpovedali, všetok ľud spolu, a riekli: Všetko, čo hovoril Hospodin, budeme robiť. A Mojžiš zaniesol odpoveďou slová ľudu k Hospodinovi.

⁸and all the people answer together and say, `All that Jehovah hath spoken we do;` and Moses returneth the words of the people unto Jehovah.

⁹A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Hľa, ja prijdem k tebe v hustom oblaku, aby počul ľud, keď budem hovoriť s tebou, aby aj tebe verili na veky. A Mojžiš oznámil Hospodinovi slová ľudu.

⁹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am coming unto thee in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with thee, and also believe in thee to the age;` and Moses declareth the words of the people unto Jehovah.

¹⁰Potom riekol Hospodin Mojžišovi: Iď k ľudu a posvätíš ich dnes i zajtra, a nech operú svoje rúcha.

¹⁰And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go unto the people; and thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have washed their garments,

¹¹A budú hotoví na tretí deň, lebo v tretí deň sostúpi Hospodin pred očami všetkého ľudu na vrch Sinai.

¹¹and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day doth Jehovah come down before the eyes of all the people, on mount Sinai.

¹²A položíš ľudu hranice dookola a povieš: Chráňte sa, aby ste neišli hore na vrch ani aby ste sa nedotkli jeho okraja! Každý, kto by sa dotkol vrchu, istotne zomrie.

¹²`And thou hast made a border [for] the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mount, or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mount is certainly put to death;

¹³Nedotkne sa ho ruka, ale ukameňované bude alebo zastrelené každé, už či by to bolo hovädo alebo človek, nebude žiť. Až keď sa už bude dlho trúbiť na trúbu, vyjdú oni hore na vrch.

¹³a hand cometh not against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man it liveth not; in the drawing out of the jubilee cornet they go up into the mount.`

¹⁴A Mojžiš sišiel s vrchu k ľudu a posvätil ľud, a oprali svoje rúcha.

¹⁴And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;

¹⁵A povedal ľudu: Buďte hotoví na tretí deň; nepribližujte sa k žene.

¹⁵and he saith unto the people, `Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto a woman.`

¹⁶A stalo sa tretieho dňa, keď bolo ráno, že začalo hrmieť a blýskať sa, a ťažký oblak ležal na vrchu, a zvučal zvuk trúby, veľmi silný, takže sa triasol od strachu všetok ľud, ktorý bol v tábore.

¹⁶And it cometh to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud, on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet very strong; and all the people who [are] in the camp do tremble.

¹⁷Vtedy vyviedol Mojžiš ľud z tábora vústrety Bohu, a zastanúc stáli pod vrchom.

¹⁷And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount,

¹⁸A vrch Sinai sa celý kúril, pretože naň sostúpil Hospodin v ohni, a jeho kúr vystupoval ako kúr pece, a triasol sa celý vrch, veľmi.

¹⁸and mount Sinai [is] wholly a smoke from the presence of Jehovah, who hath come down on it in fire, and its smoke goeth up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mount trembleth exceedingly;

¹⁹A kým zvuk trúby veľmi mohutnel, viac a viac, Mojžiš hovoril, a Bôh mu odpovedal hlasom.

¹⁹and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice.

²⁰A Hospodin sostúpil na vrch Sinai, na temeno vrchu. A Hospodin povolal Mojžiša na temeno vrchu, a Mojžiš vyšiel.

²⁰And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up.

²¹A Hospodin riekol Mojžišovi: Sídi dolu, osvedči ľudu, aby nevtrhli k Hospodinovi, aby videli, a padlo by z neho mnoho.

²¹And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them have fallen;

²²Áno, i sami kňazi, ktorí sa majú blížiť k Hospodinovi, nech sa posvätia, aby sa neoboril na nich Hospodin.

²²and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.`

²³Na to povedal Mojžiš Hospodinovi: Ľud nebude môcť vyjsť na vrch Sinai, lebo veď si nám ty osvedčil povediac: Polož hranicu vôkol vrchu a posväť ho.

²³And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `The people [is] unable to come up unto mount Sinai, for Thou — Thou hast protested to us, saying, Make a border [for] the mount, then thou hast sanctified it.`

²⁴Ale Hospodin mu riekol: Idi, sostúp a potom vyjdeš ty a Áron s tebou. A kňazi a ľud nech nevtrhnú chcúc vystúpiť hore k Hospodinovi, aby sa neoboril na nich.

²⁴And Jehovah saith unto him, `Go, descend, then thou hast come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; and the priests and the people do not break through, to come up unto Jehovah, lest He break forth upon them.`

²⁵Vtedy sišiel Mojžiš k ľudu a povedal im to.

²⁵And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them: —
