Exodus 19
1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
mense tertio egressionis Israhel de terra Aegypti in die hac venerunt in solitudinem Sinai
2 When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.
nam profecti de Raphidim et pervenientes usque in desertum Sinai castrametati sunt in eodem loco ibique Israhel fixit tentoria e regione montis
3 Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
Moses autem ascendit ad Deum vocavitque eum Dominus de monte et ait haec dices domui Iacob et adnuntiabis filiis Israhel
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you to myself.
vos ipsi vidistis quae fecerim Aegyptiis quomodo portaverim vos super alas aquilarum et adsumpserim mihi
5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;
si ergo audieritis vocem meam et custodieritis pactum meum eritis mihi in peculium de cunctis populis mea est enim omnis terra
6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
et vos eritis mihi regnum sacerdotale et gens sancta haec sunt verba quae loqueris ad filios Israhel
7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD commanded him.
venit Moses et convocatis maioribus natu populi exposuit omnes sermones quos mandaverat Dominus
8 All the people answered together, and said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do.” Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.
responditque universus populus simul cuncta quae locutus est Dominus faciemus cumque rettulisset Moses verba populi ad Dominum
9 The LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever.” Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
ait ei Dominus iam nunc veniam ad te in caligine nubis ut audiat me populus loquentem ad te et credat tibi in perpetuum nuntiavit ergo Moses verba populi ad Dominum
10 The LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
qui dixit ei vade ad populum et sanctifica illos hodie et cras laventque vestimenta sua
11 and be ready for the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.
et sint parati in diem tertium die enim tertio descendet Dominus coram omni plebe super montem Sinai
12 You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, ‘Be careful that you do not go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.
constituesque terminos populo per circuitum et dices cavete ne ascendatis in montem nec tangatis fines illius omnis qui tetigerit montem morte morietur
13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.’ When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain.”
manus non tanget eum sed lapidibus opprimetur aut confodietur iaculis sive iumentum fuerit sive homo non vivet cum coeperit clangere bucina tunc ascendant in montem
14 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
descenditque Moses de monte ad populum et sanctificavit eum cumque lavissent vestimenta sua
15 He said to the people, “Be ready by the third day. Do not have sexual relations with a woman.”
ait ad eos estote parati in diem tertium ne adpropinquetis uxoribus vestris
16 On the third day, when it was morning, there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.
iam advenerat tertius dies et mane inclaruerat et ecce coeperunt audiri tonitrua ac micare fulgura et nubes densissima operire montem clangorque bucinae vehementius perstrepebat timuit populus qui erat in castris
17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.
cumque eduxisset eos Moses in occursum Dei de loco castrorum steterunt ad radices montis
18 All of Mount Sinai smoked, because the LORD descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.
totus autem mons Sinai fumabat eo quod descendisset Dominus super eum in igne et ascenderet fumus ex eo quasi de fornace eratque mons omnis terribilis
19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
et sonitus bucinae paulatim crescebat in maius et prolixius tendebatur Moses loquebatur et Dominus respondebat ei
20 The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. The LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
descenditque Dominus super montem Sinai in ipso montis vertice et vocavit Mosen in cacumen eius quo cum ascendisset
21 The LORD said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
dixit ad eum descende et contestare populum ne forte velint transcendere terminos ad videndum Dominum et pereat ex eis plurima multitudo
22 Let the priests also, who come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break out on them.”
sacerdotes quoque qui accedunt ad Dominum sanctificentur ne percutiat eos
23 Moses said to the LORD, “The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.’”
dixitque Moses ad Dominum non poterit vulgus ascendere in montem Sinai tu enim testificatus es et iussisti dicens pone terminos circa montem et sanctifica illum
24 The LORD said to him, “Go down! You shall bring Aaron up 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.”
cui ait Dominus vade descende ascendesque tu et Aaron tecum sacerdotes autem et populus ne transeant terminos nec ascendant ad Dominum ne forte interficiat illos
25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
descendit Moses ad populum et omnia narravit eis
