¹Tretji mesec po odhodu sinov Izraelovih iz dežele Egiptovske, v isti dan so prišli v Sinajsko puščavo.

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,

²Odrinili so bili iz Rafidima in prišli v Sinajsko puščavo, in utaborili so se v puščavi; tamkaj je Izrael gorovju nasproti razpel šatore.

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

³In Mojzes je stopil gori k Bogu, in GOSPOD mu je klical z gore, govoreč: Tako govóri hiši Jakobovi in oznani sinovom Izraelovim:

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,

⁴Sami ste videli, kaj sem storil Egiptu in kako sem vas nosil na orlovih perotih in vas privedel k sebi.

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.

⁵In sedaj, če boste resno poslušali glas moj in držali zavezo mojo, bodete moja dragotina pred vsemi narodi, kajti moja je vsa zemlja;

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;

⁶in bodete mi kraljestvo duhovnikov in svet narod. To so besede, ki jih boš govoril sinovom Izraelovim.

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.`

⁷In Mojzes pride in skliče starejšine ljudstva in jim predloži vse te besede, ki mu jih je ukazal GOSPOD.

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

⁸In odgovori vse ljudstvo hkrati, rekoč: Storiti hočemo vse, kar je govoril GOSPOD. In sporočil je Mojzes besede ljudstva GOSPODU.

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.

⁹In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Glej, jaz pridem k tebi v temnem oblaku, zato da bi čulo ljudstvo govor moj s teboj ter da bi ti tudi verovalo vekomaj. In Mojzes je oznanil GOSPODU besede ljudstva.

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.

¹⁰In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Idi k ljudstvu in posveti jih danes in jutri, in naj operejo oblačila svoja,

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,

¹¹in naj bodo pripravljeni za tretji dan, zakaj tretjega dne pride GOSPOD pred očmi vsega ljudstva na goro Sinaj.

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.

¹²In napravi mejo ljudstvu okrog in reci: Varujte se stopiti na goro ali dotekniti se njenega kraja; kdorkoli se gore dotakne, mora umreti.

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;

¹³Ne bo se ga doteknila nobena roka, ampak kamenali ga bodo ali ustrelili, bodi žival, bodi človek, živ ne sme ostati. Ko bo trobenta zategnjeno donela, pojdejo proti gori.

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.`

¹⁴In prišel je Mojzes doli z gore k ljudstvu, in posvetil je ljudstvo, in oprali so oblačila svoja.

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

¹⁵In rekel je ljudstvu: Bodite pripravljeni za tretji dan, ne približajte se ženi.

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

¹⁶In ko napoči jutro tretjega dne, nastane grmenje in bliskanje in temni oblaki na gori in silno močne trombe glas; in treslo se je vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo v taboru.

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.

¹⁷In Mojzes je vedel ljudstvo iz tabora Bogu naproti; in postavili so se spodaj ob gori.

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

¹⁸Vsa gora Sinaj pa se je kadila, zato ker je bil GOSPOD stopil nanjo v ognju, in njen dim se je valil kvišku kakor dim iz topilne peči; in vsa gora se je silno tresla.

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;

¹⁹In glas trombe je bil čimdalje močnejši; Mojzes je govoril, in Bog mu je odgovarjal z glasom.

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

²⁰In GOSPOD je stopil doli na goro Sinaj, na vrh gore, in poklical je GOSPOD Mojzesa na vrh gore, in Mojzes je šel tja gori.

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.

²¹In GOSPOD reče Mojzesu: Stopi doli, posvari ljudstvo, naj nikar naprej ne silijo h GOSPODU, hoteč gledati, da jih ne pade veliko.

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;

²²Pa tudi duhovniki, ki pristopajo h GOSPODU, naj se posveté, da se GOSPOD ne zažene vanje.

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

²³In Mojzes reče GOSPODU: Ljudstvo ne more stopiti na goro Sinaj, ker si nas sam posvaril, rekoč: Napravi ograjo okoli gore in posveti jo.

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.`

²⁴In GOSPOD mu reče: Idi doli, in potem pridi sem ti in Aron s teboj; a duhovniki in ljudstvo naj ne silijo naprej, hoteč pristopiti h GOSPODU, da se ne zažene vanje.In Mojzes je prišel doli k ljudstvu in jim povedal.

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.`

²⁵In Mojzes je prišel doli k ljudstvu in jim povedal.

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