Exodus 34

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon [these] tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

١ ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «انْحَتْ لَكَ لَوْحَينِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مِثْلَ اللَّوْحَينِ الأَوَّلَيْنِ. فَأَكْتُبَ أَنَا عَليْهِمَا الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي دَوَّنْتُهَا عَلَى اللَّوْحَينِ الأَوَّلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ كَسَرْتَهُمَا.

2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.

٢ وَتَأَهَّبْ فِي الصَّبَاحِ ثُمَّ اصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، وَامْثُلْ أَمَامِي هُنَاكَ عَلَى قِمَّةِ الجَبَلِ.

3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.

٣ وَلا يَصْعَدْ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ، وَلا يُشَاهَدْ عَلَى الجَبَلِ إِنْسَانٌ، وَلا تَرْعَ الْغَنَمُ أَيْضاً وَالْبَقَرُ بِاتِّجَاهِ هَذَا الجَبَلِ».

4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

٤ فَنَحَتَ مُوسَى لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مُمَاثِلَيْنِ لِلأَوَّلَيْنِ، وَبَكَّرَ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ.

5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

٥ فَنَزَلَ بِهَيْئَةِ سَحَابٍ، وَوَقَفَ مَعَهُ هُنَاكَ حَيْثُ أَعْلَنَ لَهُ اسْمَهُ: «الرَّبُّ»،

6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

٦ وَعَبَرَ مِنْ أَمَامِ مُوسَى مُنَادِياً: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ. الرَّبُّ إِلَهٌ رَؤُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ، بَطِيءُ الْغَضَبِ وَكَثِيرُ الإِحْسَانِ وَالْوَفَاءِ.

7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty; ] visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].

٧ أَدَّخِرُ الإِحْسَانَ وَأَغْفِرُ الإِثْمَ وَالْمَعْصِيَةَ وَالْخَطِيئَةَ. وَلَكِنِّي لَا أُعْفِي الْمُذْنِبَ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ، بَلْ أَفْتَقِدُ إِثْمَ الآبَاءِ فِي الأَبْنَاءِ وَالأَحْفَادِ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ».

8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

٨ فَخَرَّ مُوسَى فِي الحَالِ وَسَجَدَ،

9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it [is] a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.

٩ وَقَالَ: «إِنْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ، فَلْيُرَافِقْنَا الرَّبُّ فِي مَسِيرِنَا. وَمَعَ أَنَّ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ عَنِيدٌ. لَكِنِ اصْفَحْ عَنْ إِثْمِنَا وَخَطِيئَتِنَا وَاتَّخِذْنَا شَعْباً خَاصّاً لَكَ».

10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou [art] shall see the work of the LORD: for it [is] a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

١٠ فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أَقْطَعُ مَعَكَ عَهْداً، فَأُجْرِي أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ شَعْبِكَ مُعْجِزَاتٍ لَمْ يُجْرَ مَثِيلُهَا فِي جَمِيعِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، فَيَشْهَدُ الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي تُقِيمُ فِي وَسَطِهِ، الْفِعْلَ الْمَهُولَ الَّذِي أَصْنَعُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ.

11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

١١ وَلَكِنْ أَطِعْ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ بِهِ. هَا أَنَا طَارِدٌ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ.

12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

١٢ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَعْقِدَ مُعَاهَدَةً مَعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ مَاضٍ إِلَيْهَا لِئَلّا يَكُونُوا شَرَكاً لَكُمْ.

13 But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

١٣ بَلِ اهْدِمُوا مَذَابِحَهُمْ، وَاكْسِرُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ، وَاقْطَعُوا أَشْجَارَهُمُ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ.

14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name [is] Jealous, [is] a jealous God:

١٤ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا إِلَهاً آخَرَ غَيْرِي، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ اسْمُهُ غَيُورٌ جِدّاً.

15 Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and [one] call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

١٥ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَعْقِدُوا مُعَاهَدَةً مَعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّهُمْ حِينَ يَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَتَهُمْ مُشْرِكِينَ وَيَذْبَحُونَ لَهُمْ، يَدْعُونَكُمْ فَتَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ذَبِيحَتِهِمْ.

16 And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

١٦ وَتُزَوِّجُونَ بَنِيكُمْ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِمْ، فَيَجْعَلْنَ بَنِيكُمْ يَغْوُونَ أَيْضاً بِعِبَادَةِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ.

17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

١٧ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ آلِهَةً مَسْبُوكَةً.

18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

١٨ احْتَفِلُوا بِعِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيراً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ (أَيْ شَهْرِ نِيسَانَ وَهُوَ الشَّهْرُ الأَوَّلُ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ)، لأَنَّكُمْ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

19 All that openeth the matrix [is] mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [ that is male].

١٩ كُلُّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ هُوَ لِي، وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ مَاشِيَتِكَ مِنَ الثِّيرَانِ وَالْخِرْفَانِ وَالْمَاعِزِ.

20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem [him] not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

٢٠ أَمَّا بِكْرُ الْحِمَارِ فَتَفْدِيهِ بِحَمَلٍ، وَإلَّا تَدُقُّ عُنُقَهُ. كُلُّ ابْنٍ بِكْرٍ لَكَ تَفْدِيهِ بِحَمَلٍ. لَا تَمْثُلُوا أَمَامِي بِأَيْدٍ فَارِغَةٍ.

21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

٢١ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْسَّابِعِ تَسْتَرِيحُ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي مَوَاسِمِ الْفَلاحَةِ وَالْحَصَادِ.

22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.

٢٢ احْتَفِلُوا أَيْضاً بِعِيدِ الأَسَابِيعِ فِي أَوَّلِ حَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ. وَبِعِيدِ الْجَمْعِ فِي آخِرِ السَّنَةِ.

23 Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

٢٣ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الذُّكُورِ أَنْ يَمْثُلُوا ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي السَّنَةِ أَمَامَ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

24 For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

٢٤ هَا أَنَا أَطْرُدُ الأُمَمَ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، وَأُوَسِّعُ حُدُودَكُمْ، وَلَنْ يَطْمَعَ أَحَدٌ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ حِينَ تَصْعَدُونَ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي السَّنَةِ.

25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

٢٥ لَا تُقَرِّبْ دَمَ ذَبِيحَةٍ مَعَ عَجِينٍ مُخْتَمِرٍ. وَلا تَتْرُكْ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ الْفِصْحِ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي.

26 The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

٢٦ تُحْضِرُ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاكُورَةَ ثِمَارِ أَرْضِكَ. وَلا تَطْبُخْ جَدْياً فِي لَبَنِ أُمِّهِ».

27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

٢٧ وَاسْتَطْرَدَ الرَّبُّ: «دَوِّنْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ، لأَنَّنِي قَطَعْتُ مَعَكَ وَمَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْداً بُناءً عَلَيْهَا».

28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

٢٨ وَمَكَثَ مُوسَى فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، لَمْ يَأْكُلْ فِيهَا خُبْزاً، وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً. فَدَوَّنَ عَلَى اللَّوْحَينِ كَلِمَاتِ العَهْدِ، أَيِ الْوَصَايَا الْعَشْرَ.

29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

٢٩ وَعِنْدَمَا انْحَدَرَ مِنْ جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ حَامِلاً بِيَدَيْهِ لَوْحَيِ الشَّهَادَةِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْرِي أَنَّ وَجْهَهُ كَانَ يَلْمَعُ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَحَدَّثُ مَعَ اللهِ.

30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

٣٠ وَحِينَ شَاهَدَ هَرُونُ وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُوسَى، كَانَ وَجْهُهُ لامِعاً، فَخَافُوا أَنْ يَقْتَرِبُوا مِنْهُ،

31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.

٣١ فَدَعَاهُمْ مُوسَى فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ هَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ فَخَاطَبَهُمْ.

32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

٣٢ وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْهُ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتَلا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَمْلاهَا الرَّبُّ فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ.

33 And [till] Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.

٣٣ وَعِنْدَمَا أَنْهَى مُوسَى حَدِيثَهُ مَعَهُمْ، وَضَعَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ بُرْقُعاً،

34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel [that] which he was commanded.

٣٤ كَانَ يَخْلَعُهُ عِنْدَ مُثُولِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ لِيَتَحَادَثَ مَعَهُ إِلَى أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ مِنْ لَدُنْهِ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ لِيُخَاطِبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمَا أَوْصَاهُ.

35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

٣٥ فَإِذَا عَايَنَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَعَاناً فِي جِلْدِ وَجْهِ مُوسَى، كَانَ يَرُدُّ الْبُرْقُعَ إِلَى حِينِ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ لِلتَّحَدُّثِ مَعَ الرَّبِّ فَيَرْفَعُهُ.
