1 D epois Deus disse a Moisés: “Subam o monte para encontrar-se com o Senhor, você e Arão, Nadabe e Abiú, e setenta autoridades de Israel. Adorem à distância.

¶ And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship afar off.

2 S omente Moisés se aproximará do Senhor; os outros não. O povo também não subirá com ele”.

And Moses alone shall approach the LORD, but they shall not come near; neither shall the people go up with him.

3 Q uando Moisés se dirigiu ao povo e transmitiu-lhes todas as palavras e ordenanças do Senhor, eles responderam em uníssono: “Faremos tudo o que o Senhor ordenou”.

And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the rights, and all the people answered with one voice and said, All the words which the LORD has said we will do.

4 M oisés, então, escreveu tudo o que o Senhor dissera. Na manhã seguinte Moisés levantou-se, construiu um altar ao pé do monte e ergueu doze colunas de pedra, representando as doze tribos de Israel.

And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD and rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mount and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 E m seguida enviou jovens israelitas, que ofereceram holocaustos e novilhos como sacrifícios de comunhão ao Senhor.

And he sent the young men of the sons of Israel, who had offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of bullocks unto the LORD.

6 M oisés colocou metade do sangue em tigelas e a outra metade derramou sobre o altar.

And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

7 E m seguida, leu o Livro da Aliança para o povo, e eles disseram: “Faremos fielmente tudo o que o Senhor ordenou”.

And he took the book of the covenant and read in the audience of the people, and they said, All that the LORD has said we will do, and we will hear.

8 D epois Moisés aspergiu o sangue sobre o povo, dizendo: “Este é o sangue da aliança que o Senhor fez com vocês de acordo com todas essas palavras”.

Then Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD has made with you concerning all these words.

9 M oisés, Arão, Nadabe, Abiú e setenta autoridades de Israel subiram

¶ Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel went up,

10 e viram o Deus de Israel, sob cujos pés havia algo semelhante a um pavimento de safira, como o céu em seu esplendor.

and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone like unto the heaven when it is clear.

11 D eus, porém, não estendeu a mão para punir esses líderes do povo de Israel; eles viram a Deus, e depois comeram e beberam. Moisés na Presença de Deus

But he did not lay his hand upon the princes of the sons of Israel, and they saw God and ate and drank.

12 D isse o Senhor a Moisés: “Suba o monte, venha até mim, e fique aqui; e lhe darei as tábuas de pedra com a lei e os mandamentos que escrevi para a instrução do povo”.

¶ Then the LORD said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount and wait there, and I will give thee tables of stone and the law and commandments which I have written to teach them.

13 M oisés partiu com Josué, seu auxiliar, e subiu ao monte de Deus.

And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua, and Moses went up into the mount of God.

14 D isse ele às autoridades de Israel: “Esperem-nos aqui, até que retornemos. Arão e Hur ficarão com vocês; quem tiver alguma questão para resolver, poderá procurá-los”.

And he said unto the elders, wait here for us until we come again unto you; and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any matters to settle, let him come unto them.

15 Q uando Moisés subiu, a nuvem cobriu o monte,

Then Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount.

16 e a glória do Senhor permaneceu sobre o monte Sinai. Durante seis dias a nuvem cobriu o monte. No sétimo dia o Senhor chamou Moisés do interior da nuvem.

And the glory of the LORD abode upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days, and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

17 A os olhos dos israelitas a glória do Senhor parecia um fogo consumidor no topo do monte.

And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the sons of Israel.

18 M oisés entrou na nuvem e foi subindo o monte. E permaneceu no monte quarenta dias e quarenta noites.

And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mount, and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
