Exodus 34
1 Ac deinceps: Praecide, ait, tibi duas tabulas lapideas instar priorum, et scribam super eas verba, quae habuerunt tabulae, quas fregisti.
And the LORD said to Moses, Hew you two tables of stone like to the first: and I will write on these tables the words that were in the first tables, which you brake.
2 Esto paratus mane, ut ascendas statim in montem Sinai, stabisque mecum super verticem montis.
And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me in the top of the mount.
3 Nullus ascendat tecum, nec videatur quispiam per totum montem: boves quoque et oves non pascantur econtra.
And no man shall come up with you, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
4 Excidit ergo duas tabulas lapideas, quales antea fuerant: et de nocte consurgens ascendit in montem Sinai, sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, portans secum tabulas.
And he hewed two tables of stone like to the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
5 Cumque descendisset Dominus per nubem, stetit Moyses cum eo, invocans nomen Domini.
And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
6 Quo transeunte coram eo, ait: Dominator Domine Deus, misericors et clemens, patiens et multae miserationis, ac verax,
And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
7 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.
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 on the children, and on the children’s children, to the third and to the fourth generation.
8 Festinusque Moyses, curvatus est pronus in terram, et adorans
And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
9 ait: Si inveni gratiam in conspectu tuo Domine, obsecro ut gradiaris nobiscum (populus enim durae cervicis est) et auferas iniquitates nostras atque peccata, nosque possideas.
And he said, If now I have found grace in your sight, O LORD, let my LORD, I pray you, go among us; for it is a stiff necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.
10 Respondit Dominus: Ego inibo pactum videntibus cunctis, signa faciam quae numquam visa sunt super terram, nec in ullis gentibus: ut cernat populus iste, in cuius es medio, opus Domini terribile quod facturus sum.
And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all your 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 you are shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with you.
11 Observa cuncta quae hodie mando tibi: ego ipse eiiciam ante faciem tuam Amorrhaeum, et Chananaeum, et Hethaeum, Pherezaeum quoque, et Hevaeum, et Iebusaeum.
Observe you that which I command you this day: behold, I drive out before you the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
12 Cave ne umquam cum habitatoribus terrae illius iungas amicitias, quae sint tibi in ruinam:
Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you go, lest it be for a snare in the middle of you:
13 sed aras eorum destrue, confringe statuas, lucosque succide:
But you shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
14 noli adorare deum alienum. Dominus zelotes nomen eius, Deus est aemulator.
For you shall worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
15 Ne ineas pactum cum hominibus illarum regionum: ne, cum fornicati fuerint cum diis suis, et adoraverint simulachra eorum, vocet te quispiam ut comedas de immolatis.
Lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice to their gods, and one call you, and you eat of his sacrifice;
16 Nec uxorem de filiabus eorum accipies filiis tuis: ne, postquam ipsae fuerint fornicatae, fornicari faciant et filios tuos in deos suos.
And you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make your sons go a whoring after their gods.
17 Deos conflatiles non facies tibi.
You shall make you no molten gods.
18 Sollemnitatem azymorum custodies. Septem diebus vesceris azymis, sicut praecepi tibi, in tempore mensis novorum: mense enim verni temporis egressus es de Aegypto.
The feast of unleavened bread shall you keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.
19 Omne, quod aperit vulvam generis masculini, meum erit. De cunctis animantibus tam de bobus, quam de ovibus, meum erit.
All that opens the matrix is mine; and every firstling among your cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
20 Primogenitum asini redimes ove: sin autem nec pretium pro eo dederis, occidetur. Primogenitum filiorum tuorum redimes: nec apparebis in conspectu meo vacuus.
But the firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you redeem him not, then shall you break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
21 Sex diebus operaberis, die septimo cessabis arare, et metere.
Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in ripening time and in harvest you shall rest.
22 Sollemnitatem hebdomadarum facies tibi in primitiis frugum messis tuae triticeae, et sollemnitatem, quando redeunte anni tempore cuncta conduntur.
And you shall observe the feast of weeks, of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
23 Tribus temporibus anni apparebit omne masculinum tuum in conspectu omnipotentis Domini Dei Israel.
Thrice in the year shall all your male children appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.
24 Cum enim tulero gentes a facie tua, et dilatavero terminos tuos, nullus insidiabitur terrae tuae, ascendente te, et apparente in conspectu Domini Dei tui ter in anno.
For I will cast out the nations before you, and enlarge your borders: neither shall any man desire your land, when you shall go up to appear before the LORD your God thrice in the year.
25 Non immolabis super fermento sanguinem hostiae meae: neque residebit mane de victima sollemnitatis Phase.
You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left to the morning.
26 Primitias frugum terrae tuae offeres in domo Domini Dei tui. Non coques hoedum in lacte matris suae.
The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring to the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.
27 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Scribe tibi verba haec, quibus et tecum et cum Israel pepigi foedus.
And the LORD said to Moses, Write you these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.
28 Fuit ergo ibi cum Domino quadraginta dies et quadraginta noctes: panem non comedit, et aquam non bibit, et scripsit in tabulis verba foederis decem.
And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
29 Cumque descenderet Moyses de monte Sinai, tenebat duas tabulas testimonii, et ignorabat quod cornuta esset facies sua ex consortio sermonis Domini.
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 knew not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
30 Videntes autem Aaron et filii Israel cornutam Moysi faciem, timuerunt prope accedere.
And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.
31 Vocatique ab eo, reversi sunt tam Aaron, quam principes synagogae. Et postquam locutus est ad eos,
And Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him: and Moses talked with them.
32 venerunt ad eum etiam omnes filii Israel: quibus praecepit cuncta quae audierat a Domino in monte Sinai.
And afterward all the children of Israel came near: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
33 Impletisque sermonibus, posuit velamen super faciem suam.
And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
34 Quod ingressus ad Dominum, et loquens cum eo, auferebat donec exiret, et tunc loquebatur ad filios Israel omnia quae sibi fuerant imperata.
But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out. And he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
35 Qui videbant faciem egredientis Moysi esse cornutam, sed operiebat ille rursus faciem suam, si quando loquebatur ad eos.
And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
