Exodus 19 (GOFL)

1Isra7eele asay Gibxefe keyida heedzantho ageenas koyro gallasan Siina mela biitta gakidosona.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.

2Enti Rafidimape dendidi bidi, Siina zuma sinthan de7iya mela biittan uttidosona.After they had set out from Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.

3Musey Xoossara gahetanaw zuma bolla keyis. Goday zumaa huuphepe iya xeegidi, “Yayqooba sheeshi gidida Isra7eeletas haysada yaaga;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‘Taani Gibxeta bolla oothidabaanne arganthi ba na7a ba qefiyan tookeysda ta hintena waata tookada taako ehidaako hinte hinte huuphen be7ideta.‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

5Ha77i hinte taw kiitetikonne ta caaquwa naagiko, biitta kumethay tabaa gidikoka hinte taw dooretida dere gidana.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.

6Hinte taw geeshsha dere gidana; hinte kawotethan kahine gididi tana haggaazana.’ Neeni Isra7eeletas odana qaalay haysa” yaagis.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.”

7Musey guye bidi, zumako cimata xeegi shiishidi, Goday odida qaala ubbaa entaw odis.So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.

8Enti, “Goday gidaba ubbaa nuuni oothana” yaagidosona. Musey enti gidaysa Godaas odis.And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.

9Goday Museko “Taani neera haasayishin asay si7anaadanne enti nena ubba wode ammananada taani muumida shaarara neeko yaana” yaagis. Hessafe guye, Musey asay gidaysa Godaas odis.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.

10Goday Museko “Neeni asaako bada hachinne wonto taara gahetanaw bantana geeshshana mela entaw oda. Enti banta ma7uwa meeccidi,Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes

11heedzantho gallasas giigeto. He gallas asa ubbay tana be7ishin taani Siina zuma bolla wodhana.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.

12Neeni ha zuma yuushuwan zawa wotha. Asay zuma bolla keyonna mela woyko zumaa xaphuwa bochonna mela entaw oda. Zumaa bochida oonika hayqana.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.

13He uray shuchan cadetidi woyko dongen duketidi hayqo; iya kushen oonika bochofo. Mehey woyko asi hessada hayqo. Moyzey punetiya wode enti zumaa bolla keyanaw danda7oosona” yaagis.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.”

14Musey zumaa bollafe wodhidi, asay Xoossaa goyinnanaw bantana giigisana mela odis. Entika banta ma7uwa meeccidosona.When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.

15Musey asaako, “Heedzantho gallasaas giigetite; hinte machetara aqopite” yaagis.“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”

16Heedzantho gallas wonta guura deshoy dechis. Wol7anthinne sakana shaari zumaa ma7idi bentis. Wolqaama moyze waasoy si7etis. Asay dunkaanida bessa ubban yashshan kokoridosona.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.

17Hessafe guye, Musey asaa Xoossara gathanaw entana dunkaaniyape kessidi efis; enti zumaa xaphon eqidosona.Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

18Goday Siina zumaa bolla tama lacora wodhida gisho Siina derey cuyan kametis. Gita coocepe cuyi keyeysada iyape cuyiya zuley suure keyis. Asa ubbay daro kokoridosona.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.

19Moyziya waasoy dari dari bida wode Musey odin, Xoossay deshon iyaw zaaris.And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.

20Goday Siina zumaa huuphe bolla wodhidi, Muse pude zumaa bolla xeegis. Musey zumaa bolla keyis.The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,

21Goday iyako, “Neeni duge bada asay tana be7ana gidi, zawa aadhona melanne entafe daroy hayqonna mela entaw oda.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.

22Hari atto Godaa mati shiiqiya kahinetika bantana geeshsho. Enti hessa oothonna ixiko ta enta hanqana” yaagis.Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”

23Musey Godaako, “Neeni zuma dummayida gishonne zawa immida gisho asay zuma huuphe keyanaw danda7okona” yaagis.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.’”

24Goday iyako, “Neeni duge bada Aarona neera ekada ya. Kahinetinne asay zawa kanthidi taako yishe dhayona mela entaw oda” yaagis.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.”

25Hessa gisho, Musey asaako wodhidi Goday gidaysa entaw odis.So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
