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.
1 A ne Musa se: «Ma kaaru ka kaa Rabbi do, nin da Haruna da Nadab da Abihu nda Israyla arkusu wayye. Araŋ ma sududu za nangu mooro.
2Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near, neither shall the people go up with him.”
2 Musa hinne no ga kaa Rabbi jarga, amma ngey wo ma si maan bo. Borey ma si kaaru a banda mo.»
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.”
3 Kala Musa kaa ka Rabbi sanney d'a asariyey* kulu ci jama se. Borey kulu binde tu me folloŋ ka ne: «Sanney kulu kaŋ Rabbi ci, iri g'i te.»
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.
4 Musa mo na Rabbi sanno kulu hantum. A tun mo susuba za nda hinay. A na sargay feema cina tondo cire nda tondi way cindi hinka, Israyla kunda way cindi hinka me.
5He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.
5 A na Israyla izey ra sahãkooniyaŋ donton, i ma koy ka sargay kaŋ i ga ton salle Rabbi se, i ma yeejiyaŋ dumbu mo k'i salle saabuyaŋ sargay Rabbi se.
6Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.
6 Musa mo na kuro jara sambu ka daŋ gaasuyaŋ ra, jara mo, a n'a say-say feema gaa.
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.”
7 A na sappa tira sambu ka caw borey hangey ra, ngey mo ne: «Hay kulu kaŋ Rabbi ci, iri g'a te, iri g'a gana mo.»
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.”
8 Musa na kuro sambu koyne. A n'a say-say borey gaa ka ne: «Guna, sappa kaŋ Rabbi te d'araŋ, a kuro neeya, sanney wo kulu boŋ.»
9Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.
9 Musa binde, nga nda Haruna nda Nadab da Abihu nda Israyla arkusey wayya kaaru.
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.
10 I di Israyla Irikoyo. A cey cire mo ga hima safir* tondi dabe kaŋ i yuttandi, danga beene bumbo a nyaaleyaŋo se.
11He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.
11 Rabbi mana kambe dake Israyla izey arkusey gaa, amma i di Irikoy. I ŋwa, i haŋ mo.
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.”
12 Rabbi ne Musa se: «Ma kaaru ka kaa ay do tondo ra ka goro noodin. Ay mo ga ni no tondi walhãyaŋ da asariya nda ganayaŋ sanney kaŋ yaŋ ay hantum zama ni ma jama dondonandi nd'a.»
13Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.
13 Musa binde tun, nga nda nga zanka Yasuwa. Musa kaaru mo Irikoy tondo boŋ.
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.”
14 A ne arkusey mo se: «W'iri batu neewo, hal iri ga ye ka kaa araŋ do. Guna, Haruna nda Hur go araŋ banda. Boro kulu kaŋ gonda kalima hari ma kaa i do.»
15Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
15 Musa kaaru ka koy tondo boŋ, buro mo go ga tondo daabu.
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.
16 Rabbi darza goro Sinayi tondo boŋ, buro mo go g'a daabu jirbi iddu. Zaari iyyanta mo Rabbi na Musa ce, jinda fun buro ra.
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.
17 Rabbi darza bangayyaŋo ga hima danji kaŋ ga di tondo yolla gaa, Israyla izey go ga di a.
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.
18 Musa mo furo buro bindo ra ka kaaru tondo boŋ. Musa te cin waytaaci nda zaari waytaaci tondo boŋ mo.
