Éxodo 34
1 Yahvé dijo a Moisés: “Talla dos tablas de piedra como las primeras. Yo escribiré en las tablas las palabras que estaban en las primeras tablas, que tú rompiste.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Cut two slabs of stone that will be like the first slabs, the ones that you broke. Then I will engrave on them the words that were on the first slabs.
2 Prepárate para la mañana, y sube por la mañana al monte Sinaí, y preséntate allí ante mí en la cima de la montaña.
Get ready tomorrow morning, and come up to the top of Sinai Mountain again to talk with me there.
3 Nadie subirá contigo ni se te verá en ningún lugar del monte. No dejes que los rebaños o las manadas pasten frente a ese monte”.
Do not allow anyone to come up with you. I do not want anyone [else] to be anywhere on the mountain. Do not allow any sheep or cattle to graze (at the base of/near) the mountain.”
4 Cinceló dos tablas de piedra como la primera; entonces Moisés se levantó de madrugada y subió al monte Sinaí, como Yahvé le había ordenado, y tomó en su mano dos tablas de piedra.
So Moses/I cut two slabs of stone that were like the first ones. He/I arose early the next morning. He/I took the slabs and carried them in his/my hands up to the top of Sinai Mountain, as Yahweh had commanded.
5 Yahvé descendió en la nube y se quedó allí con él, y proclamó el nombre de Yahvé.
Then Yahweh descended in the [tall] cloud and stood with Moses/me there. He proclaimed that it was he, Yahweh, [who was going to speak to Moses/me].
6 Yahvé pasó por delante de él y proclamó: “¡Yahvé! Yahvé, Dios misericordioso y clemente, lento a la cólera y abundante en bondades y verdades,
Then Yahweh passed in front of him/me and proclaimed, “I am Yahweh God. I always act mercifully and kindly [toward people]. I do not get angry quickly. I [truly] love [people] and I do what I promise to do for them, without changing.
7 que guarda la bondad amorosa durante miles de años, que perdona la iniquidad, la desobediencia y el pecado, y que no exculpa a los culpables, visitando la iniquidad de los padres en los hijos y en los hijos de los hijos, en la tercera y en la cuarta generación.”
I love people for thousands of generations. I forgive people for all kinds of sins [TRI]. But I will certainly punish [LIT] those who are guilty. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).”
8 Moisés se apresuró a inclinar la cabeza hacia la tierra y adoró.
Moses/I quickly prostrated himself/myself on the ground and worshiped [Yahweh].
9 Dijo: “Si ahora he hallado gracia ante tus ojos, Señor, por favor, deja que el Señor vaya entre nosotros, aunque éste sea un pueblo de dura cerviz; perdona nuestra iniquidad y nuestro pecado, y tómanos como herencia.”
He/I said, “Yahweh, if you are now pleased with me, I ask that you go with us. These people are very stubborn [IDM], but forgive us for all our sins [DOU], and accept us to be people who belong to you [forever].”
10 Dijo: “He aquí que hago un pacto: ante todo tu pueblo haré maravillas, como no se han hecho en toda la tierra, ni en ninguna nación; y todos los pueblos en medio de los cuales te encuentras verán la obra de Yahvé, porque es algo impresionante lo que hago contigo.
Yahweh replied, “Note this: I am going to make a solemn agreement [with the Israeli people]. As they are watching, I will perform great miracles. They will be miracles that no one has ever done on the earth in any nation. All the people who are near you will see the great things that I, Yahweh, will do. I will do awesome things for you [all].
11 Observen lo que hoy les ordeno. He aquí que voy a expulsar ante vosotros al amorreo, al cananeo, al hitita, al ferezeo, al heveo y al jebuseo.
[Each Israeli] person must obey what I am commanding you this day. Do not forget that [if you obey me], I will expel the Amor, Canaan, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups [from the land]. But be careful that you do not make any [peace] agreements with any of the people who live in the land into which you are going, because if you do that, [you will begin to do the evil things that they do]. It will be [like] falling into a trap.
12 Tened cuidado, no sea que hagáis un pacto con los habitantes de la tierra a la que vais, para que no os sirva de lazo;
13 sino que derrumbéis sus altares, y hagáis pedazos sus columnas, y cortéis sus postes de Asera;
You must tear down their altars, destroy their sacred pillars, and cut down [the poles that they use to worship their female goddess] Asherah.
14 porque no adoraréis a ningún otro dios; porque Yahvé, cuyo nombre es Celoso, es un Dios celoso.
You must worship only me, [and] not worship any other god, because I, Yahweh, cannot endure any rivals.
15 “No hagas un pacto con los habitantes de la tierra, no sea que ellos se prostituyan según sus dioses y sacrifiquen a sus dioses, y uno te llame y comas de su sacrificio;
Do not make peace agreements with [any group] that lives in that land. When they worship their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they invite you to join them, do not join them. If [you join them], you will eat the food that they sacrifice to their gods, and [you will not be faithful to me. You will be like people who] commit adultery, [who are not being faithful to their spouses] [MET].
16 y tomes de sus hijas a tus hijos, y sus hijas se prostituyan según sus dioses, y hagas que tus hijos se prostituyan según sus dioses.
If you take some of their women to be wives for your sons, and these women worship their own gods, they will persuade your sons also to worship their gods.
17 “No os haréis ídolos de fundición.
Do not pour melted metal into molds to make statues for you to worship.
18 “Celebrarás la fiesta de los panes sin levadura. Siete días comeréis panes sin levadura, como os he mandado, en el tiempo señalado del mes de Abib; porque en el mes de Abib salisteis de Egipto.
[Each year], during the month [of/named] Abib, celebrate the Festival of Eating Bread Made Without Yeast. [During that festival], for seven days you must not eat bread made with yeast, as I commanded you, because it was in that month that you left Egypt.
19 “Todo lo que abre el vientre es mío; y todo tu ganado que sea macho, el primogénito de vaca y de oveja.
Your firstborn sons and the firstborn [male] animals of your cattle and sheep [and goats] belong to me.
20 El primogénito del asno lo redimirás con un cordero. Si no quieres redimirlo, le romperás el cuello. Redimirás a todos los primogénitos de tus hijos. Nadie se presentará ante mí con las manos vacías.
The firstborn of your [male] donkeys [also belong to me]. But you may buy them back by [offering to me] lambs [in their place]. If you do not do that, you must [kill these animals by] breaking their necks. You must also buy back your firstborn sons. You must bring an offering to me [LIT] each time you come to [worship] me.
21 “Seis días trabajarás, pero el séptimo día descansarás: en el tiempo de arar y en el de cosechar descansarás.
[Each week] you may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. [Even] during the times when you plow [the ground] and harvest [your crops], you must rest [on the seventh day].
22 “Celebrarás la fiesta de las semanas con las primicias de la cosecha de trigo, y la fiesta de la cosecha al final del año.
[Each year] celebrate the Harvest Festival, when you begin to harvest the first crop of wheat, and also celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, when you finish harvesting [the grain and fruit].
23 Tres veces al año se presentarán todos vuestros varones ante el Señor Yahvé, el Dios de Israel.
Three times each year all the men must come to worship me, Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
24 Porque expulsaré a las naciones delante de ti y ampliaré tus fronteras; nadie deseará tu tierra cuando subas a presentarte ante Yahvé, tu Dios, tres veces al año.
I will expel the people-groups that live in the land [where you will be], and I will cause your territory to become very large. As a result, no group will try to conquer your country if you come to worship me each year during those three festivals.
25 “No ofrecerás la sangre de mi sacrificio con pan leudado. El sacrificio de la fiesta de la Pascua no se dejará para la mañana.
When you sacrifice an animal [MTY] to me, do not offer with it bread that is made with yeast. And during the Passover Festival, when you sacrifice lambs, do not keep any of the meat until the next morning.
26 “Traerás las primicias de los primeros frutos de tu tierra a la casa de Yahvé, tu Dios. “No hervirás un cabrito en la leche de su madre”.
I am Yahweh God. You must bring to my Sacred Tent the first part of the grain that you harvest each year. When you kill a young animal/kid [either a lamb or a calf], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
27 Yahvé dijo a Moisés: “Escribe estas palabras, porque de acuerdo con ellas he hecho un pacto contigo y con Israel”.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Write down the words that I have told you. By giving you these commands, I have made a solemn agreement with you and with the [other] Israeli people.”
28 Estuvo allí con Yahvé cuarenta días y cuarenta noches; no comió pan ni bebió agua. Escribió en las tablas las palabras de la alianza, los diez mandamientos.
Moses/I was there [on the top of the mountain] with Yahweh for 40 days and nights. During that time he/I did not eat or drink anything [SYN]. He/I engraved on the stone slabs the words of the Ten Commandments, [which were part of Yahweh’s] solemn agreement.
29 Cuando Moisés bajó del monte Sinaí con las dos tablas de la alianza en la mano, cuando bajó del monte, Moisés no sabía que la piel de su rostro brillaba por haber hablado con él.
When Moses/I came back down the mountain, carrying in his/my hand the two stone slabs on which were written the Ten Commandments, his/my face was shining because he/I had been talking with Yahweh, but he/I did not know that his/my face was shining.
30 Cuando Aarón y todos los hijos de Israel vieron a Moisés, he aquí que la piel de su rostro brillaba, y tuvieron miedo de acercarse a él.
When Aaron and the [other] Israeli people saw Moses/me, they were amazed/surprised that his/my face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him/me.
31 Moisés los llamó, y Aarón y todos los jefes de la congregación volvieron a él; y Moisés les habló.
But Moses/I called to them. Then Aaron and the other Israeli leaders came to him/me, and he/I talked with them.
32 Después se acercaron todos los hijos de Israel, y él les dio todos los mandamientos que Yahvé había hablado con él en el monte Sinaí.
Afterwards, all the other Israeli people came near, and he/I told them all the laws that Yahweh had given to him/me on Sinai Mountain.
33 Cuando Moisés terminó de hablar con ellos, se puso un velo sobre el rostro.
When Moses/I finished talking to the people, he/I put a veil over his/my face.
34 Pero cuando Moisés entró delante de Yahvé para hablar con él, se quitó el velo hasta que salió; y salió y habló a los hijos de Israel lo que se le había ordenado.
But whenever Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent to talk with Yahweh, he/I removed the veil. When he/I came back out, he/I would always tell to the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me [to tell them].
35 Los hijos de Israel vieron el rostro de Moisés, que la piel del rostro de Moisés resplandecía; entonces Moisés volvió a poner el velo sobre su rostro, hasta que entró a hablar con él.
The Israeli people would see that Moses’/my face was [still] shining. Then he/I would put the veil back on his/my face again until the next time that he/I went into [the Sacred Tent] to talk with Yahweh.
