< Exodus 34 >

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
Ac deinceps: Præcide, ait, tibi duas tabulas lapideas instar priorum, et scribam super eas verba, quæ habuerunt tabulæ, quas fregisti.
2 Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.
Esto paratus mane, ut ascendas statim in montem Sinai, stabisque mecum super verticem montis.
3 No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”
Nullus ascendat tecum, nec videatur quispiam per totum montem: boves quoque et oves non pascantur econtra.
4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.
Excidit ergo duas tabulas lapideas, quales antea fuerant: et de nocte consurgens ascendit in montem Sinai, sicut præceperat ei Dominus, portans secum tabulas.
5 And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD.
Cumque descendisset Dominus per nubem, stetit Moyses cum eo, invocans nomen Domini.
6 Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,
Quo transeunte coram eo, ait: Dominator Domine Deus, misericors et clemens, patiens et multæ miserationis, ac verax,
7 maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”
qui custodis misericordiam in millia: qui aufers iniquitatem, et scelera, atque peccata, nullusque apud te per se innocens est. Qui reddis iniquitatem patrum filiis, ac nepotibus in tertiam et quartam progeniem.
8 Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.
Festinusque Moyses, curvatus est pronus in terram, et adorans
9 “O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”
ait: Si inveni gratiam in conspectu tuo Domine, obsecro ut gradiaris nobiscum (populus enim duræ cervicis est) et auferas iniquitates nostras atque peccata, nosque possideas.
10 And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.
Respondit Dominus: Ego inibo pactum videntibus cunctis, signa faciam quæ numquam visa sunt super terram, nec in ullis gentibus: ut cernat populus iste, in cuius es medio, opus Domini terribile quod facturus sum.
11 Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
Observa cuncta quæ hodie mando tibi: ego ipse eiiciam ante faciem tuam Amorrhæum, et Chananæum, et Hethæum, Pherezæum quoque, et Hevæum, et Iebusæum.
12 Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.
Cave ne umquam cum habitatoribus terræ illius iungas amicitias, quæ sint tibi in ruinam:
13 Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.
sed aras eorum destrue, confringe statuas, lucosque succide:
14 For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
noli adorare deum alienum. Dominus zelotes nomen eius, Deus est æmulator.
15 Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.
Ne ineas pactum cum hominibus illarum regionum: ne, cum fornicati fuerint cum diis suis, et adoraverint simulcra eorum, vocet te quispiam ut comedas de immolatis.
16 And when you take some of their daughters as brides for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and cause your sons to do the same.
Nec uxorem de filiabus eorum accipies filiis tuis: ne, postquam ipsæ fuerint fornicatæ, fornicari faciant et filios tuos in deos suos.
17 You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.
Deos conflatiles non facies tibi.
18 You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you. For in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.
Sollemnitatem azymorum custodies. Septem diebus vesceris azymis, sicut præcepi tibi, in tempore mensis novorum: mense enim verni temporis egressus es de Ægypto.
19 The first offspring of every womb belongs to Me, including all the firstborn males among your livestock, whether cattle or sheep.
Omne, quod aperit vulvam generis maculini, meum erit. De cunctis animantibus tam de bobus, quam de ovibus, meum erit.
20 You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; but if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.
Primogenitum asini redimes ove: sin autem nec pretium pro eo dederis, occidetur. Primogenitum filiorum tuorum redimes: nec apparebis in conspectu meo vacuus.
21 Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in the seasons of plowing and harvesting, you must rest.
Sex diebus operaberis, die septimo cessabis arare, et metere.
22 And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.
Sollemnitatem hebdomadarum facies tibi in primitiis frugum messis tuæ triticeæ, et sollemnitatem, quando redeunte anni tempore cuncta conduntur.
23 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
Tribus temporibus anni apparebit omne masculinum tuum in conspectu omnipotentis Domini Dei Israel.
24 For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.
Cum enim tulero gentes a facie tua, et dilatavero terminos tuos, nullus insidiabitur terræ tuæ, ascendente te, et apparente in conspectu Domini Dei tui ter in anno.
25 Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to Me along with anything leavened, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning.
Non immolabis super fermento sanguinem hostiæ meæ: neque residebit mane de victima sollemnitatis Phase.
26 Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”
Primitias frugum terræ tuæ offeres in domo Domini Dei tui. Non coques hœdum in lacte matris suæ.
27 The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”
Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Scribe tibi verba hæc, quibus et tecum et cum Israel pepigi fœdus.
28 So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.
Fuit ergo ibi cum Domino quadraginta dies et quadraginta noctes: panem non comedit, et aquam non bibit, et scripsit in tabulis verba fœderis decem.
29 And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.
Cumque descenderet Moyses de monte Sinai, tenebat duas tabulas testimonii, et ignorabat quod cornuta esset facies sua ex consortio sermonis Domini.
30 Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him.
Videntes autem Aaron et filii Israel cornutam Moysi faciem, timuerunt prope accedere.
31 But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.
Vocatique ab eo, reversi sunt tam Aaron, quam principes synagogæ. Et postquam locutus est ad eos,
32 And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.
venerunt ad eum etiam omnes filii Israel: quibus præcepit cuncta quæ audierat a Domino in monte Sinai.
33 When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.
Impletisque sermonibus, posuit velamen super faciem suam.
34 But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,
Quod ingressus ad Dominum, et loquens cum eo, auferebat donec exiret, et tunc loquebatur ad filios Israel omnia quæ sibi fuerant imperata.
35 and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.
Qui videbant faciem egredientis Moysi esse cornutam, sed operiebat ille rursus faciem suam, si quando loquebatur ad eos.
