1He said to Moses, “Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.
1وقال لموسى اصعد الى الرب انت وهرون وناداب وابيهو وسبعون من شيوخ اسرائيل. واسجدوا من بعيد.
2Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.”
2ويقترب موسى وحده الى الرب وهم لا يقتربون. واما الشعب فلا يصعد معه.
3Moses came and told the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do.”
3فجاء موسى وحدّث الشعب بجميع اقوال الرب وجميع الاحكام. فاجاب جميع الشعب بصوت واحد وقالوا كل الاقوال التي تكلم بها الرب نفعل.
4Moses wrote all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.
4فكتب موسى جميع اقوال الرب. وبكر في الصباح وبنى مذبحا في اسفل الجبل واثني عشر عمودا لاسباط اسرائيل الاثني عشر.
5He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.
5وارسل فتيان بني اسرائيل فاصعدوا محرقات وذبحوا ذبائح سلامة للرب من الثيران.
6Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
6فأخذ موسى نصف الدم ووضعه في الطسوس. ونصف الدم رشّه على المذبح.
7He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “All that Yahweh has spoken will we do, and be obedient.”
7واخذ كتاب العهد وقرأ في مسامع الشعب. فقالوا كل ما تكلم به الرب نفعل ونسمع له.
8Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words.”
8واخذ موسى الدم ورشّ على الشعب وقال هوذا دم العهد الذي قطعه الرب معكم على جميع هذه الاقوال
9Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
9ثم صعد موسى وهرون وناداب وابيهو وسبعون من شيوخ اسرائيل.
10They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire or, lapis lazuli stone, like the skies for clearness.
10ورأوا اله اسرائيل وتحت رجليه شبه صنعة من العقيق الازرق الشفّاف وكذات السماء في النقاوة.
11He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
11ولكنه لم يمدّ يده الى اشراف بني اسرائيل. فرأوا الله وأكلوا وشربوا
12Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the tables of stone with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”
12وقال الرب لموسى اصعد اليّ الى الجبل وكن هناك. فاعطيك لوحي الحجارة والشريعة والوصية التي كتبتها لتعليمهم.
13Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.
13فقام موسى ويشوع خادمه. وصعد موسى الى جبل الله.
14He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”
14واما الشيوخ فقال لهم اجلسوا لنا ههنا حتى نرجع اليكم. وهوذا هرون وحور معكم. فمن كان صاحب دعوة فليتقدّم اليهما.
15Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
15فصعد موسى الى الجبل. فغطّى السحاب الجبل.
16The glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.
16وحلّ مجد الرب على جبل سيناء وغطّاه السحاب ستة ايام. وفي اليوم السابع دعي موسى من وسط السحاب.
17The appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.
17وكان منظر مجد الرب كنار آكلة على راس الجبل امام عيون بني اسرائيل.
18Moses entered into the midst of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
18ودخل موسى في وسط السحاب وصعد الى الجبل. وكان موسى في الجبل اربعين نهارا واربعين ليلة
