Deuteronomy 10
1 “Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Cut two stone tablets like the first ones. And make a wooden chest to put them in. Then [bring the tablets] up to me on this mountain.
IN quel tempo il Signore mi disse: Tagliati due Tavole di pietra, simili alle primiere; poi sali a me in sul monte; fatti ancora un'Arca di legno.
2 I will write on those tablets the same words that I wrote on the first tablets, the ones that you broke. Then you can put them in the chest.’
E io scriverò in su quelle Tavole le parole ch'erano in su le primiere che tu spezzasti; e tu le metterai dentro a quell'Arca.
3 “So I made a chest. I used wood from an acacia tree to make it. Then I cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I went up the mountain carrying the tablets.
E io feci un'Arca di legno di Sittim, e tagliai due Tavole di pietra, simili alle primiere; poi salii in sul monte, avendo quelle due Tavole in mano.
4 There Yahweh wrote on the tablets the [same] Ten Commandments [that he had written on the first tablet]. They are the commandments that he told to your ancestors from the middle of the fire on the mountain, when they were gathered [at the bottom of the mountain]. Then Yahweh gave the tablets to me,
Ed egli scrisse in su quelle Tavole, conforme alla prima scrittura, le dieci parole, che il Signore vi avea pronunziate nel monte, di mezzo al fuoco, al giorno della raunanza. E il Signore me le diede.
5 and I turned and went down the mountain. Then, just as he had commanded, I put them in the chest that I had made. And they are still there.”
Allora io mi rivolsi indietro, e discesi giù dal monte, e posi quelle Tavole nell'Arca che io avea fatta, e son restate quivi; come il Signore mi avea comandato.
6 (Then, from the wells that belonged to the people of Jaakan, the Israeli people traveled to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and his son Eleazar took his place and became the Supreme Priest.
(Or i figliuoli d'Israele partirono di Beerot-bene-iaacan, per andare a Mosera; quivi morì Aaronne, e quivi fu seppellito; ed Eleazaro, suo figliuolo, fu sacerdote in luogo suo.
7 From there, the Israelis traveled to Gudgodah, and from there to Jotbathah, which was a place that had many streams.
Di là partirono, [per andare] a Gudgod; e di Gudgod, [per andare] a Iotbat, [ch'è] un paese di rivi d'acque.
8 At that time, Yahweh (set apart/appointed) the tribe of Levi to carry the chest that contained [the tablets on which were written] the Ten Commandments, and to stand in Yahweh’s presence [in the sacred tent], to offer sacrifices, and to pray for Yahweh to bless [the people. They are still doing those things] at the present time.
In quel tempo il Signore appartò la tribù di Levi, per portar l'Arca del Patto del Signore, per comparir davanti al Signore per ministrargli, e per benedir nel suo Nome, [come fa] infino al dì d'oggi.
9 That is the reason that the tribe of Levi did not receive any land like the other tribes did. What they received was the work/privilege of being Yahweh’s [priests], which is what he said that they should do.)
Perciò Levi non ha parte, nè possessione co' suoi fratelli; il Signore è la sua possessione, siccome il Signore Iddio tuo gliene ha parlato).
10 “I stayed on the mountain 40 days and nights, just like I did the first time. [I prayed to] Yahweh, and he (answered my prayers/did what I requested) again and said that he would not destroy your ancestors.
Or essendo io dimorato in sul monte tanto tempo quanto la prima volta, cioè quaranta giorni e quaranta notti, il Signore esaudì la mia voce ancora quella volta, [e] non ti volle distruggere.
11 Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Continue your journey, going in front of the people, to occupy the land that I vowed your ancestors that I would give to you.’”
E il Signore mi disse: Levati, va' per camminar davanti al popolo; ed entrino nel paese, del quale ho giurato a' lor padri che io lo darei loro; e possegganlo.
12 “Now, you Israeli people, [I will tell you] [RHQ] what Yahweh our God requires/demands that you do. He requires you to revere him, to conduct your lives as he wants you to, to love him, and to serve him wholeheartedly [DOU],
Ora dunque, o Israele, che chiede il Signore Iddio tuo da te, se non che tu tema il Signore Iddio tuo, per camminare in tutte le sue vie, e per amarlo, e per servire al Signore Iddio tuo con tutto il tuo cuore, e con tutta l'anima tua?
13 and to obey all of his commandments [DOU] which I am giving to you today for your benefit.
[E] per osservare i comandamenti del Signore, e i suoi statuti, i quali oggi ti do; acciocchè ti [sia] bene?
14 “Do not forget that Yahweh our God owns even the sky and everything that is in it. He also owns the earth and everything that is on it.
Ecco, i cieli e i cieli de' cieli [sono] del Signore, [e] la terra, e tutto quello ch'[è] in essa.
15 But [in spite of owning all those things], Yahweh loved your ancestors, and from all the people-groups [on the earth] he chose us, their descendants, and we are still his people.
[E pure] il Signore ha posto affezione solo a' tuoi padri, per amarli; e ha eletta, d'infra tutti i popoli, la lor progenie dopo loro, [cioè] voi,
16 So you must stop sinning [MET] and stop being stubborn [IDM]!
come oggi [appare]. Circoncidete adunque il prepuzio del vostro cuore, e non indurate più il vostro collo.
17 Yahweh our God is greater than all gods, and he is greater than all rulers. He is very powerful [DOU] and awesome. He (is impartial/does not do things that favor one (group/person) more than others), and he does not accept bribes.
Perciocchè il Signore Iddio vostro è l'Iddio degl'iddii, e il Signore de' signori; l'Iddio grande, il potente, e il tremendo; il qual non riguarda alla qualità della persona, e non piglia presenti;
18 He makes sure that orphans and widows are treated fairly. He loves even (foreigners/people from other countries) who live among us Israeli people, and he gives them food and clothes.
il quale fa ragione all'orfano e alla vedova; e ama il forestiere, per dargli del pane e de' vestimenti.
19 So you must love those foreigners too, because you were once foreigners when you were living in Egypt.
Voi dunque altresì amate i forestieri; conciossiachè siate stati forestieri nel paese di Egitto.
20 Revere Yahweh our God and worship only him. (Be faithful to/Have a close relationship with) him, and say that he should punish you if you do not do what you promise.
Temi il Signore Iddio tuo, servigli, e attienti a lui, e giura per lo suo Nome.
21 He is the one whom you must praise. He is our God, and we have seen the great and amazing things that he has done for us.
Egli [è] la tua laude, e il tuo Dio, il quale ha operate inverso te queste grandi e tremende cose, che gli occhi tuoi hanno vedute.
22 When our ancestors, [Jacob and his family], went down to Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now Yahweh our God has caused us to be as numerous as the stars in the sky.”
I tuoi padri discesero in Egitto in numero di settanta persone; e ora il Signore Iddio tuo ti ha fatto diventare come le stelle del cielo, in moltitudine.
