1 N a ka mea ia ki a Mohi, Piki ake ki a Ihowa koutou ko Arona, ko Natapa, ko Apihu, kia whitu tekau ano hoki o nga kaumatua o Iharaira; a me koropiko mai koutou i tawhiti.

Then He said to Moses, “ Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel, and you shall worship at a distance.

2 K o Mohi anake hoki e whakatata mai ki a Ihowa: ko ratou ia, kaua ratou e whakatata mai; me te iwi hoki, kaua ratou e piki tahi ake me ia.

Moses alone, however, shall come near to the Lord, but they shall not come near, nor shall the people come up with him.”

3 N a ka haere a Mohi, ka korerotia e ia ki te iwi nga kupu katoa a Ihowa, me nga whakariteritenga katoa: a kotahi ano te reo o te iwi katoa ki te whakahoki, ka ki ratou, Ka meatia e matou nga mea katoa i korerotia mai e Ihowa.

Then Moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the Lord and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice and said, “ All the words which the Lord has spoken we will do!”

4 N a ka tuhituhia e Mohi nga kupu katoa a Ihowa; a ka maranga wawe ia i te ata, a hanga ana e ia tetahi aata ki raro iho i te maunga, me nga pou kotahi tekau ma rua mo nga iwi kotahi tekau ma rua o Iharaira.

Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord. Then he arose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

5 I unga ano e ia etahi taitama o nga tama a Iharaira, hei whakaeke i nga tahunga tinana, hei patu hoki i nga puru hei patunga mo te pai ki a Ihowa.

He sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offerings to the Lord.

6 N a, ka tango a Mohi i tetahi wahi o te toto, a maka ana e ia ki roto ki nga peihana; ko tetahi wahi hoki o te toto i taia atu ki te aata.

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

7 N a ka mau ia ki te pukapuka o te kawenata, a korerotia ana ki nga taringa o te iwi: a ka mea ratou, Ko nga mea katoa i kiia mai na e Ihowa ka meatia e matou, ka rongo ano matou.

Then he took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people; and they said, “ All that the Lord has spoken we will do, and we will be obedient!”

8 N a ka mau a Mohi ki te toto, a taia atu ana e ia ki te iwi, me te ki ano ia, Nana, te toto nei o te kawenata e whakaritea nei e Ihowa ki a koutou mo enei mea katoa.

So 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 in accordance with all these words.”

9 N a ka piki ake a Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko Natapa, ko Apihu, me nga kaumatua e whitu tekau o Iharaira;

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

10 N a ka kite i te Atua o Iharaira: kei raro ano i ona waewae me te mea ko te hapira i hanga hei whariki, he rite tonu ano ki te tino rangi te marama.

and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.

11 A kihai i totoro tona ringa ki tetahi o nga rangatira o nga tama a Iharaira: heoi, ka titiro atu ratou ki te Atua, ka kai hoki, ka inu.

Yet He did not stretch out His hand against the nobles of the sons of Israel; and they saw God, and they ate and drank.

12 N a ka mea a Ihowa ki a Mohi, Piki ake ki ahau ki te maunga, a hei reira koe noho ai: a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe nga papa kohatu, me te ture, me te whakahau kua oti nei i ahau te tuhituhi, hei whakaako mau ki a ratou.

Now the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and remain there, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commandment which I have written for their instruction.”

13 N a ko te whakatikanga ake o Mohi, raua ko tana tangata, ko Hohua: ka piki atu a Mohi ki te maunga o te Atua.

So Moses arose with Joshua his servant, and Moses went up to the mountain of God.

14 I mea ano ia ki nga kaumatua, Taria ake maua i konei, kia hoki mai ra ano maua ki a koutou: na, ko Arona raua ko Huru tena hei hoa mo koutou: ki te whai take tetahi tangata, me haere ia ki a raua.

But to the elders he said, “ Wait here for us until we return to you. And behold, Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a legal matter, let him approach them.”

15 N a piki ana a Mohi ki te maunga, e taupokina ana hoki te maunga e te kapua:

Then Moses went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

16 A i tau te kororia o Ihowa ki runga ki Maunga Hinai; a e ono nga ra i taupokina ai a reira e te kapua; a i te whitu o nga ra ka karanga ia ki a Mohi i waenganui o te kapua.

The glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He called to Moses from the midst of the cloud.

17 A i rite te ahua o te kororia o Ihowa ki te ahi e kai ana i runga i te tihi o te maunga, i te tirohanga a nga tama a Iharaira.

And to the eyes of the sons of Israel the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the mountain top.

18 N a ka haere a Mohi ki waenganui o te kapua, a pikitia ana e ia te maunga: a e wha tekau nga ra o Mohi ki runga ki te maunga, e wha tekau hoki nga po.

Moses entered the midst of the cloud as he went up to the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.
