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 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.
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 unto mount Sinai, and present thyself 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 thee, 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 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.
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, longsuffering, 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 upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
12 Cave ne umquam cum habitatoribus terrae illius iungas amicitias, quae sint tibi in ruinam:
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:
13 sed aras eorum destrue, confringe statuas, lucosque succide:
But ye 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 thou shalt 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 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;
16 Nec uxorem de filiabus eorum accipies filiis tuis: ne, postquam ipsae fuerint fornicatae, fornicari faciant et filios tuos in deos suos.
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.
17 Deos conflatiles non facies tibi.
Thou shalt make thee 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 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.
19 Omne, quod aperit vulvam generis masculini, meum erit. De cunctis animantibus tam de bobus, quam de ovibus, meum erit.
All that openeth the matrix [is] mine; and every firstling among thy 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 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.
21 Sex diebus operaberis, die septimo cessabis arare, et metere.
Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
22 Sollemnitatem hebdomadarum facies tibi in primitiis frugum messis tuae triticeae, et sollemnitatem, quando redeunte anni tempore cuncta conduntur.
And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits 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 men 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 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.
25 Non immolabis super fermento sanguinem hostiae meae: neque residebit mane de victima sollemnitatis Phase.
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.
26 Primitias frugum terrae tuae offeres in domo Domini Dei tui. Non coques hoedum in lacte matris suae.
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.
27 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Scribe tibi verba haec, quibus et tecum et cum Israel pepigi foedus.
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.
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 upon 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 wist 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 nigh him.
31 Vocatique ab eo, reversi sunt tam Aaron, quam principes synagogae. Et postquam locutus est ad eos,
And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto 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 nigh: 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 vail 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 vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto 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 vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
