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

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.

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

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.

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

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:

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

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

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;

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

²²Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh 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.

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.’”

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.

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.”

²⁵Vtedy sišiel Mojžiš k ľudu a povedal im to.

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