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.

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

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.

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

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:

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

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

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

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;

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.”

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.’”

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

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.”

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.

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

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