Exodus 19 (TDX)

1Amy volam-paha-telo niengà’ o ana’ Israeleo an-tane Mitsraimey, le tsatok’ amy àndro zay t’ie nivotrake am-patrambei’ i Sinay eo.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.

2Fa niakara’ iareo ty Refidime le nipok’ am-patrambei’ i Sinay vaho nitobe an-dratraratra ey. Aa le nañialo aolo’ i vohitsey t’Israele.After they had set out from Rephidim, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai, and Israel camped there in front of the mountain.

3Niañambone mb’ aman’ Añahare mb’eo amy zao t’i Mosè, le nikanjy aze boak’ am-bohitsey t’Iehovà ami’ty hoe, Ty hoe ty ho saontsie’o amy hasavereña’ Iakòbey vaho ty hatao’o amo ana’ Israeleo: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:

4Fa niisa’ areo ty nanoeko amy Mitsraime naho nibabeako añ’elam-bantio ninday anahareo mb’amako mb’atoy.‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.

5Ie amy zao naho toe janjiñe’ areo ty feoko naho mañambeñe i fañinakoy, le ho vàrako miambake te amy ze hene ondaty. Fonga ahiko ty tane toy.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.

6Le ho fifeheam-pisoroñe amako naho fifelehañe miavake nahareo. Izay ty entañe ho saontsie’o amo ana’ Israeleo.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.”

7Aa le nimb’eo t’i Mosè nikoike o androanavi’ ondatio vaho natrefe’e am’ iereo i nampitsara’ Iehovà azey.So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.

8Le fonga nanoiñe an-kapindre ondatio, ty hoe, Ho henefa’ay ze tsinara’ Iehovà. Aa le nabali’ i Mosè am’ Iehovà i saontsi’ ondatioy.And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.

9Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Hehe, te miheo mb’ama’o an-drahoñe milodolodo ao iraho, soa t’ie mivolañe, le ho janjiñe’ ondatio irehe vaho hatokisa’ iareo nainai’e. Ie tinaro’ i Mosè am’ Iehovà i saontsi’ ondatioy,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.

10le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Akia mb’ am’ ondatio mb’eo naho ampiavaho te anito naho hamaray vaho ampanasao iareo o lamba’eo.Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes

11Le ampihentseño ho ami’ty andro faha-telo fa herone ty hizotsoa’ Iehovà am-Bohi-Sinay am-pahaisaha’ ze hene ondaty.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.

12Ampiarikoboño efetsefetse ty am’ondatio ty vohitse toy vaho ano ty hoe, Mitaoa tsy hiañambone mb’ambohitsey le ko tsapaeñe ty indra’e, fa havetrake ze mitsapa o vohitseo.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.

13Tsy ho tsapaem-pitàñe, fa ho fetsaham-bato ndra tomboheñe ndra t’ie ondaty ndra biby, fa tsy ho veloñe. Naho mivolañe i antsivay le hitotoke amy vohitsey iereo.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.”

14Aa le nizotso i vohitsey mb’ am’ ondatio t’i Mosè naho nampiavahe’e ondatio vaho nanasa lamba iereo.When Moses came down from the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.

15Le hoe re am’ ondatio, Mihentseña ho ami’ ty herone, le ko mitotoke ami’ty valy.“Be prepared for the third day,” he said to the people. “Do not draw near to a woman.”

16Ie maraindrai’ i andro fahateloy, le niparapapiake ty àmpiñe miharo helatse vaho ty rahoñe jabajaba amy vohitsey, le akore ty fipoñafa’ i antsivay kanao hene nihondrahondra ondaty an-tobeo.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.

17Nendese’ i Mosè niakatse i tobey ondatio hifañaoñ’ aman’ Añahare le nijohañe ambane’ i vohitsey.Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

18Kinolopon-katoeñe amy zao i vohitsey amy te nizotso ama’e ami’ty afo t’Iehovà; le nifororoake nañambone manahake ty hatoe’ o votrim-birìke sodorañeo ty hatoeñe vaho niozoñozoñe mafe i vohitsey.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.

19Ie nitolom-pipopo ty feo i antsivay, nihamatsiañe, le nisaontsy t’i Mosè vaho nanoiñe an-kotroke t’i Andrianañahare.And as the sound of the ram’s horn grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in the thunder.

20Ie nizotso mb’amy Vohi-Sinaiy mb’eo t’Iehovà, ambone’ i vohitsey eo, le kinanji’ Iehovà t’i Mosè hiañambone’ i vohitsey vaho niañambone mb’eo t’i Mosè.The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit. So Moses went up,

21Le hoe t’Iehovà amy Mosè, Mizotsoa mb’eo le hatahatao ondatio tsy mone hisosoke mb’eo hisamba Iehovà; vaho hifitafita eo ty maro.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.

22Le tsi-mete tsy mañefe-batañe hey o mpisoroñeo te hañarine Iehovà hera hiboroboñak’ ama’e t’Iehovà.Even the priests who approach the LORD must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them.”

23Hoe t’i Mosè amy Iehovà, Tsy mete ondatio ty homb’ am-Bohi-Sinay mb’ atoy; amy te Ihe ro nañatahata anay ami’ty hoe, Ampijadoño efetse hañarikatoke i vohitsey vaho ampiambaho.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.’”

24Hoe t’Iehovà ama’e, Akia, mizotsoa, le mañambonea mb’ etoy, ihe mindre amy Aharone; le ko ado’o hiboroboñake hiañambone mb’am’ Iehovà o mpiaoloo ndra ondatio; tsy mone hitorotosira’e.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.”

25Aa le nizotso mb’am’ ondatio mb’eo t’i Mosè ninday i tsaray.So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
