Exodus 19 (GAX)

1Israa'elooti biyya Gibxi'ii keessaa bayanee, ji'a sadeesso'oo guyyaa tokkeesso'oo goomolee Siina'aa geyane.In the third month, on the same day of the month that the Israelites had left the land of Egypt, they came to the Wilderness of Sinai.

2Isaan Refiidiimii ka'anee goomolee Siina'aa keessa, fuullee gaara Siina'aa achi qubatane.After they had set out from Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.

3Achiin duuba Muuseen gara Mootii Waan Maraa gaaratti ol baye. Waaqille gaara gubba'aa Muusee waamee, «Sanyii Yaaqoobii, kolbaa Israa'eliitiin,Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, “This is what you are to tell the house of Jacob and explain to the sons of Israel:

4‹Waan ani worra Gibxi'ii irratti godhe, akka risaan ilmoolee ifii koolaan ba'atu, isin ba'adhee gara kiyya attam akka isin fide dhaggitaneertan.‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

5Amma isin guutumatti naaf yoo ajajantane, gondooroo tiyyalle yoo eegatane, gosa biyya adda addaa mara keessaa kolbaa irra caalaa jaalatantane hin teetan. Latti duudiin tiyya teetulle,Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.

6isin mootummaa hayyootaa kolbaa woyyittii naaf hin teetan› jedhi. Tun waan ati kolbaa Israa'eliititti hintu» jedheen.And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”

7Maarre Muuseen gad bu'ee jaarsolee kolba'aa waamee dubbii Mootiin Waan Maraa akka inni dubbatu isa ajaje mara isaanitti hime.So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.

8Achiin duuba kolbaan marti afaan tokkochaan, «Waan Mootiin Waan Maraa jedhe mara hin tolchina» jedhanee deebisane. Maarre Muuseen waan kolbaan jette deebi'ee Mootii Waan Maraatitti hime.And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.

9Mootiin Waan Maraa Muuse'een, «Ani si woliin dubbadhuun kolbaan akka dhageettu, yennaa maralle akka si'itti addattu, ani duumensa ciggaa keessa gara keeti hin dhufa» jedhe. Achiin duuba Muuseen waan kolbaan jette Mootii Waan Maraatitti hime.The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear when I speak with you, and they will always put their trust in you.” And Moses relayed to the LORD what the people had said.

10Mootiin Waan Maraalle Muuse'een, «Gara kolba'aa dhaqiitii adhaa fi boru isaan woyyoonsi. Woyaa ifiille akka dhiqatanu godhi;Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes

11guyyaa sadeesso'oo adoo isaan dhagganuu, ani gaara Siina'aa irratti waan gad bu'uuf, guyyaa saniif qophowanuu ti.and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

12Cinaa gaaraatitti naannessii, meessaa buusiitii, ‹Gara gaaraa akka ol hin baane yookiin irga isaa akka hin tundhe ifi eegadha'a; nami gaara san tuqe ijjeefamuu ti.And you are to set up a boundary for the people around the mountain and tell them, ‘Be careful not to go up on the mountain or touch its base. Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.

13Harki adoo isa hin tuqin, dhaka'aan tumamee yookiin daayaan woraanamee ijjeefamuu ti. Nami yookiin horiin yoo gaara san tuqe ijjeefamuu ti. Qoonqoon tultulla'aa adoo wol irraa hin citin, yennaa tultullaan afuufame qofa kolbaan gara gaaraa ol bawuu dandeetti› jedhii itti himi» jedhe.No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with arrows—whether man or beast, he must not live.’ Only when the ram’s horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain.”

14Achiin duuba Muuseen gaara irraa gara kolba'aa gad bu'ee, isaan woyyoonsee, woyaa ifiille akka dhiqatanu godhe.When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.

15Muuseen kolba'aan, «Guyyaa sadeesso'ootiif ifi qopheeffadha'a; dubartii bira hin geyina'a» jedhe.“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”

16Gaafa guyyaa sadeesso'oo ganama gaara san irratti duumensi ciggaan mudhate; mandiisuun mandiite; balaqqeettiin balaqqitte; qoonqoon tultulla'aa guddoon afuufante; kolbaan addee quttumaa san jirtu marti naatee hollatte.On the third day, when morning came, there was thunder and lightning. A thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very loud blast of the ram’s horn went out, so that all the people in the camp trembled.

17Achiin duuba Muuseen kolbaa addee quttumaatii baasee gara Waaqaa fidee, isaanille gaara jala dhaabbatane.Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

18Waaqi ibiddaan gaara irratti waan gad bu'eef, gaarri Siina'aa aaraan gollame; aarri akka aara boolla ibiddaa keessaa bawuu, gaara san irraa aare. Gaarri sun guutumatti raafame.Mount Sinai was completely enveloped in smoke, because the LORD had descended on it in fire. And the smoke rose like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently.

19Qoonqoon tultulla'aalle ittuma dabalamaa dhutte. Achiin duuba Muuseen dubbate; Waaqille qoonqoo akka mandiisu'uutiin deebii kenne.And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.

20Mootiin Waan Maraa qaccee gaara Siina'aa irratti gad bu'ee, gara qaccee gaaraa Muusee waame. Muuseelle ol baye.The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,

21Mootiin Waan Maraalle Muuse'een, «Kolbaan ana Mootii Waan Maraa ilaaliisaaf, meessaa dabaranee, hedduun isaanii akka hin dhumanne, gad bu'ii itti gorsi.and the LORD said to him, “Go down and warn the people not to break through to see the LORD, lest many of them perish.

22Hayyooti gara kiyya dhikaatanuuyyuu ifi adda baasuu qaban; yoo akkas hin te'in ani isaan hin adaba» jedhe.Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”

23Muuseelle Mootii Waan Maraatiin, «Ati, ‹Adaala gaara kanaatitti meessaa naqa'aatii, isa woyyoonsa'a› waan nuun jetteertuuf, kolbaan gara gaara kanaa ol bawuu hin dandeettu» jedhe.But Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, for You solemnly warned us, ‘Put a boundary around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”

24Mootiin Waan Maraalle deebisee Muuse'een, «Gad bu'iitii, Aaron woliin deebi'ii koy; hayyootii fi kolbaan ammoo gara kiyya dhufiisaaf meessaa dabaruu hin qabanu; yoo isaan dabarane, ani isaan hin adaba» jedhe.And the LORD replied, “Go down and bring Aaron with you. But the priests and the people must not break through to come up to the LORD, or He will break out against them.”

25Muuseelle gara kolba'aa gad bu'ee, waan Mootiin Waan Maraa jedhe isaanitti hime.So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
