1 A nd he said to Moses, Go up to Jehovah, thou and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship afar off.

وَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «اصعَدْ إلَى اللهِ أنتَ وَهارُونُ وَنادابُ وَأبِيهُو وَسَبعُونَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إسْرائِيلَ، وَاعْبُدُوا مِنْ بَعِيدٍ.

2 A nd let Moses alone come near Jehovah; but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.

لِيَقْتَرِبْ مُوسَى وَحدَهُ مِنَ اللهِ ، وَأمّا الآخَرُونَ فَلا يَقتَرِبْ أحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ. وَبَقيَّةُ الشَّعبِ أيضاً لا تَصْعَدْ مَعَهُ.»

3 A nd Moses came and told the people all the words of Jehovah, and all the judgments; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words that Jehovah has said will we do!

فَأتَى مُوسَى وَأخبَرَ الشَّعبَ بِكُلِّ كَلامِ اللهِ وَوَصاياهُ. حِينَئِذٍ، أجابَ كُلُّ الشَّعبِ بِصَوتٍ واحِدٍ: «سَنَعمَلُ كُلَّ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ اللهُ بِها.»

4 A nd Moses wrote all the words of Jehovah, and rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

وَكَتَبَ مُوسَى كُلَّ كَلامِ اللهِ. وَاستَيقَظَ فِي صَباحِ اليَومِ التّالِي باكِراً وَبَنَى مَذبَحاً فِي سَفْحِ الجَبَلِ مَعَ اثنَي عَشَرَ عَمُوداً تُمَثِّلُ قَبائِلَ إسْرائِيلَ الاثنَتي عَشْرَةَ.

5 A nd he sent the youths of the children of Israel, and they offered up burnt-offerings, and sacrificed sacrifices of peace-offering of bullocks to Jehovah.

ثُمَّ أرسَلَ شُبّانَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ لِيُقَدِّمُوا ذَبائِحَ صاعِدَةً وَذَبائِحَ سَلامٍ مِنَ الثِّيرانٍ للهِ.

6 A nd Moses took half the blood, and put in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

وَأخَذَ مُوسَى نِصفَ كَمِّيَّةِ الدَّمِ وَوَضَعَهُ فِي طاساتٍ، وَرَشَّ النِّصفَ الآخَرَ مِنَ الدَّمِ عَلَى المَذبَحِ.

7 A nd he took the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people; and they said, All that Jehovah has said will we do, and obey!

ثُمَّ أخَذَ كِتابَ العَهدِ وَقَرَأهُ عَلَى مَسمَعِ الشَّعبِ، فَقالُوا: «سَنَعمَلُ كُلَّ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي تَكَلَّمَ اللهُ بِها، وَسَنُطِيعُهُ.»

8 A nd Moses took the blood, and sprinkled on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you concerning all these words.

وَأخَذَ مُوسَى الدَّمَ الَّذِي فِي الطّاساتِ وَرَشَّهُ عَلَى الشَّعبِ، وَقالَ: «هَذا هُوَ دَمُ العَهدِ الَّذِي قَطَعَهُ اللهُ مَعَكُمْ بِناءً عَلَى كُلِّ هَذا الكَلامِ.»

9 A nd Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up;

فَصَعِدَ مُوسَى وَهارُونُ وَنادابُ وَأبِيهُو وَالسَّبعُونَ مِنْ شُيُوخِ إسْرائِيلَ،

10 a nd they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were work of transparent sapphire, and as it were the form of heaven for clearness.

وَرَأَوْا إلَهَ إسرائِيلَ! رَأَوْا تَحتَ قَدَمِهِ ما بَدا كَرَصِيفٍ مِنْ حِجارَةِ الياقُوتِ الأزرَقِ الصّافِي كَصَفاءِ السَّماءِ.

11 A nd on the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: they saw God, and ate and drank.

فَلَمْ يَقْتُلِ اللهُ أحَدَ رُؤَساءِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ، بَلْ رَأَوْا اللهَ، وَأكَلُوا هُناكَ وَشَرِبُوا. مُوسَى يأخذُ شَرِيعَةِ الله

12 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law, and the commandment that I have written, for their instruction.

ثُمَّ قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «اصعَدْ إلَى الجَبَلِ وَانتَظِرْ هُناكَ. فَسأُعطِيَكَ لَوحَي الحِجارَةِ، وَقَدْ نَقَشْتُ عَليهِما الشَّرِيعَةَ وَالوَصايا الَّتِي كَتَبْتُها لِتَعليمِ الشَّعبِ.»

13 A nd Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant; and Moses went up to the mountain of God.

فَقامَ مُوسَى وَيَشُوعُ خادِمُهُ وَصَعِدا إلَى جَبَلِ اللهِ.

14 A nd he said to the elders, Wait here for us, until we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Hur are with you: if any man have any matter, let him come before them.

وَقالَ مُوسَى لِلشُّيُوخِ: «انتَظِرُوا هُنا حَتَّى نَعُودَ إلَيَكُمْ. وَهَا هَارُونُ وَحُورُ مَعَكُمْ، فَلْيَذْهَبْ إلَيهِما كُلُّ مَنْ لَهُ دَعْوَى.»

15 A nd Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

فَصَعِدَ مُوسَى إلَى الجَبَلِ، وَغَطَّى السَّحابُ الجَبَلَ

16 A nd the glory of Jehovah abode on mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days; and on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

وَحَلَّ مَجْدُ اللهِ عَلَى جَبَلِ سِيناءَ، وَغَطّاهُ السَّحابُ سِتَّةَ أيّامٍ. وَدَعا اللهُ مُوسَى فِي اليَومِ السّابِعِ مِنْ وَسَطِ السُّحُبِ.

17 A nd the appearance of the glory of Jehovah was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, before the eyes of the children of Israel.

وَكانَ مَنظَرُ مَجدِ اللهِ المُنِيرِ كَنارٍ مُشتَعِلَةٍ عَلَى قِمَّةِ الجَبَلِ أمامَ عُيُونِ جَمِيعِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

18 A nd Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and ascended the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

وَدَخَلَ مُوسَى إلَى السَّحابِ، وَصَعِدَ إلَى الجَبَلِ. وَبَقِيَ مُوسَى عَلَى الجَبَلِ أربَعِينَ نَهاراً وَأربَعِينَ لَيلَةً.
