Exodus 19
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Sa Bundok ng Sinai
19 1-2 Umalis ang mga Israelita sa Refidim at pumunta sa ilang ng Sinai. Doon sa harap ng bundok sila nagkampo. Ikatlong buwan ito mula nang lisanin nila ang Egipto.
3 Umakyat si Moises sa bundok para makipagkita sa Dios. Tinawag siya ng Panginoon doon sa bundok at sinabi, “Sabihin mo ito sa mga Israelita na mga lahi ni Jacob: 4 ‘Nakita nʼyo mismo kung ano ang ginawa ko sa mga Egipcio, at kung paano ko kayo dinala rito sa akin, katulad ng pagdadala ng agila sa mga inakay niya sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pakpak. 5 Kung lubos ninyo akong susundin at tutuparin ang aking kasunduan, pipiliin ko kayo sa lahat ng bansa para maging mga mamamayan ko. Akin ang buong mundo, 6 pero magiging pinili ko kayong mamamayan at magiging isang kaharian ng mga paring maglilingkod sa akin.’ Sabihin mo ito sa mga Israelita.”
7 Kaya bumaba si Moises mula sa bundok at ipinatawag niya ang mga tagapamahala ng Israel at sinabi sa kanila ang sinabi ng Panginoon. 8 At sabay-sabay na sumagot ang mga tao, “Susundin namin ang lahat ng sinabi ng Panginoon.” At sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon ang sagot ng mga tao.
9 Sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, “Darating ako sa iyo sa pamamagitan ng makapal na ulap para marinig ng mga tao ang pakikipag-usap ko sa iyo, at nang lagi silang magtiwala sa iyo.” At sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon ang sagot ng mga tao.
10 At sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon, “Puntahan mo ang mga tao at sabihin sa kanilang linisin ang sarili nila[a] ngayon at bukas. Kailangang labhan nila ang kanilang mga damit. 11 Siguraduhing handa sila sa ikatlong araw, dahil sa araw na iyon, ako, ang Panginoon ay bababa sa Bundok ng Sinai na kitang-kita ng mga tao. 12 Maglagay ka ng tanda sa paligid ng bundok kung hanggang saan lamang tatayo ang mga tao. Sabihin mo sa kanila na huwag silang aakyat o lalapit sa bundok. Ang sinumang lalapit sa bundok ay papatayin, 13 tao man o hayop. Kung gagawin niya ito, babatuhin siya o kaya naman ay papanain; walang kamay na hihipo sa kanya. Makakaakyat lang ang mga tao sa bundok kapag pinatunog na nang matagal ang tambuli.”
14 Bumaba si Moises sa bundok at inutusan niya silang linisin ang mga sarili nila. At nilabhan ng mga tao ang kanilang mga damit. 15 Sinabi ni Moises sa kanila, “Ihanda ninyo ang mga sarili ninyo para sa ikatlong araw; huwag muna kayong makipagtalik sa inyong asawa.”
16 Kinaumagahan ng ikatlong araw, kumulog at kumidlat, at may makapal na ulap na tumakip sa bundok at narinig ang malakas na tunog ng trumpeta. Nanginig sa takot ang lahat ng tao sa kampo. 17 Pagkatapos, dinala ni Moises sa labas ng kampo ang mga tao para makipagkita sa Dios, at tumayo sila sa paanan ng bundok. 18 Nabalot ng usok ang Bundok ng Sinai dahil bumaba roon ang Panginoon sa anyo ng apoy. Pumaitaas ang usok kagaya ng usok na nanggaling sa hurno at nayanig nang malakas ang bundok,[b] 19 at lalo pang lumakas ang tunog ng trumpeta. Nagsalita si Moises at sinagot siya ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng kulog.[c]
20 Bumaba ang Panginoon sa ibabaw ng Bundok ng Sinai, at tinawag niya si Moises na umakyat sa ibabaw ng bundok. Kaya umakyat si Moises, 21 at sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon, “Bumalik ka sa ibaba at balaan mo sila na huwag na huwag silang lalampas sa hangganan na inilagay sa paligid ng bundok para tingnan ako, dahil kung gagawin nila ito, marami sa kanila ang mamamatay. 22 Kahit na ang mga pari na palaging lumalapit sa presensya koʼy kailangang maglinis ng kanilang mga sarili dahil kung hindi, parurusahan ko rin sila.”
23 Sinabi ni Moises sa Panginoon, “Paano po aakyat ang mga tao sa bundok gayong binigyan nʼyo na kami ng babala na ituring naming banal ang bundok, at sinabihan nʼyo kaming lagyan ng tanda ang paligid ng bundok kung hanggang saan lang kami tatayo.”
24 Sinabi sa kanya ng Panginoon, “Bumaba ka at dalhin si Aaron dito. Pero ang mga pari at ang mga tao ay hindi dapat pumunta rito sa akin, para hindi ko sila parusahan.”
25 Kaya bumaba si Moises at sinabihan ang mga tao.
Exodus 19
King James Version
19 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
3 And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
7 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the Lord commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
9 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.
10 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
14 And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
15 And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
20 And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
21 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 And let the priests also, which come near to the Lord, sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break forth upon them.
23 And Moses said unto the Lord, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24 And the Lord said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the Lord, lest he break forth upon them.
25 So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
Exodus 19
New King James Version
Israel at Mount Sinai
19 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on the same day, (A)they came to the Wilderness of Sinai. 2 For they had departed from (B)Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So Israel camped there before (C)the mountain.
3 And (D)Moses went up to God, and the Lord (E)called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel: 4 (F)‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how (G)I [a]bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. 5 Now (H)therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and (I)keep My covenant, then (J)you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is (K)Mine. 6 And you shall be to Me a (L)kingdom of priests and a (M)holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
7 So Moses came and called for the (N)elders of the people, and [b]laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him. 8 Then (O)all the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” So Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord. 9 And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you (P)in the thick cloud, (Q)that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.”
So Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.
10 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and (R)consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes. 11 And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 You shall set bounds for the people all around, saying, ‘Take heed to yourselves that you do not go up to the mountain or touch its base. (S)Whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death. 13 Not a hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot with an arrow; whether man or beast, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come near the mountain.”
14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day; (T)do not come near your wives.”
16 Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were (U)thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp (V)trembled. 17 And (W)Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now (X)Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon (Y)it in fire. (Z)Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and [c]the (AA)whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, (AB)Moses spoke, and (AC)God answered him by voice. 20 Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through (AD)to gaze at the Lord, and many of them perish. 22 Also let the (AE)priests who come near the Lord (AF)consecrate themselves, lest the Lord (AG)break out against them.”
23 But Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for You warned us, saying, (AH)‘Set bounds around the mountain and consecrate it.’ ”
24 Then the Lord said to him, “Away! Get down and then come up, you and Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the Lord, lest He break out against them.” 25 So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.

Israel at Mount Sinai
19 On the third new moon after the people of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that day they (A)came into the wilderness of Sinai. 2 They set out from (B)Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before (C)the mountain, 3 while (D)Moses went up to God. (E)The Lord called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: 4 (F)‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how (G)I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be (H)my treasured possession among all peoples, for (I)all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a (J)kingdom of priests and (K)a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”
7 So Moses came and called the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the Lord had commanded him. 8 (L)All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord. 9 And the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you (M)in a thick cloud, that (N)the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also (O)believe you forever.”
When Moses told the words of the people to the Lord, 10 the Lord said to Moses, “Go to the people and (P)consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them (Q)wash their garments 11 and be ready for the third day. For on the third day (R)the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 12 And you shall set limits for the people all around, saying, ‘Take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. (S)Whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death. 13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot;[a] whether beast or man, he shall not live.’ When (T)the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain.” 14 So Moses (U)went down from the mountain to the people and (V)consecrated the people; (W)and they washed their garments. 15 And he said to the people, “Be ready for the (X)third day; (Y)do not go near a woman.”
16 On the morning of the (Z)third day there were (AA)thunders and lightnings and (AB)a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud (AC)trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp (AD)trembled. 17 Then (AE)Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now (AF)Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord had descended on it in fire. The smoke of it went up like the smoke of a kiln, and (AG)the whole mountain trembled greatly. 19 And as the (AH)sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and (AI)God answered him in thunder. 20 The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
21 And the Lord said to Moses, “Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to the Lord (AJ)to look and many of them perish. 22 Also let the priests who come near to the Lord (AK)consecrate themselves, lest the Lord (AL)break out against them.” 23 And Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you yourself warned us, saying, (AM)‘Set limits around the mountain and consecrate it.’” 24 And the Lord said to him, “Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you. But do not let the priests and the people (AN)break through to come up to the Lord, lest he break out against them.” 25 So Moses went down to the people and told them.
