Éxodo 34

1 También Yavé dijo a Moisés: Lábrate dos tablas de piedra como las primeras, y escribiré sobre las tablas las Palabras que estaban sobre las primeras tablas que quebraste.

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 por la mañana al amanecer, sube a la Montaña Sinaí y te presentarás ante Mí en la cumbre 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 verá hombre alguno en toda la Montaña. Ni ovejas ni ganado vacuno pasten enfrente de aquella Montaña.

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 Así que él labró dos tablas de piedra como las primeras. Por la mañana madrugó y subió a la Montaña Sinaí, como Yavé le ordenó, y llevó las dos tablas de piedra en sus manos.

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 Yavé descendió en la nube y estuvo allí con él mientras invocaba el Nombre de Yavé.

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 Yavé pasó frente a él, y proclamó: Yavé, Yavé, ʼEL misericordioso y clemente, lento para la ira y abundante en misericordia y verdad,

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 Quien guarda la misericordia para millares, que perdona la iniquidad, la transgresión y el pecado, pero de ningún modo deja sin castigo [al culpable], Quien castiga la maldad de los padres sobre los hijos y los nietos, hasta la tercera y 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 Entonces Moisés se apresuró a postrarse en tierra y adoró,

Moses/I quickly prostrated himself/myself on the ground and worshiped [Yahweh].

9 y dijo: Si ahora hallé gracia delante de Ti, oh ʼAdonay, te ruego que, aunque el pueblo es tan obstinado, ʼAdonay vaya en medio de nosotros, perdone nuestra iniquidad y nuestro pecado y nos tomes como tu posesión.

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 Él respondió: Ciertamente, Yo hago un Pacto: Delante de todo tu pueblo haré maravillas como no se hicieron en toda la tierra, ni en alguna nación. Y todo el pueblo en medio del cual tú estás verá la obra de Yavé, porque es cosa asombrosa lo que haré 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 Guarda lo que Yo te ordeno hoy. Ciertamente Yo expulso de delante de ti al amorreo, al cananeo, al heteo, 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 Guárdate de no establecer alianza con los habitantes de la tierra a donde vas, para que no sean tropiezo en medio de ti.

13 Pero derribarás sus altares, quebrarás sus estelas y talarás sus imágenes 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 te postrarás ante ningún otro ʼelohim, pues Yavé, cuyo Nombre es Celoso, es ʼElohim celoso.

You must worship only me, [and] not worship any other god, because I, Yahweh, cannot endure any rivals.

15 No sea que hagas alianza con los habitantes de aquella tierra, y cuando ellos se prostituyan tras sus ʼelohim y les ofrezcan sacrificios, te inviten 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 tomes de sus hijas para tus hijos, y cuando sus hijas se prostituyan tras sus ʼelohim, hagan que tus hijos se prostituyan tras los ʼelohim de ellas.

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 te harás ʼelohim de fundición.

Do not pour melted metal into molds to make statues for you to worship.

18 Guardarás la fiesta solemne de los Panes sin Levadura. Como te ordené, siete días comerás Panes sin Levadura en el tiempo señalado el mes de Abib, porque el mes de Abib saliste 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 matriz es mío, y todo primerizo de tu ganado que sea macho de vaca o de oveja.

Your firstborn sons and the firstborn [male] animals of your cattle and sheep [and goats] belong to me.

20 Pero todo primerizo de asno lo sustituirás con un cordero, y si no lo sustituyes, lo desnucarás. Redimirás todo primogénito de tus hijos. Ninguno 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 reposarás. Aun en la siembra y en la cosecha reposarás.

[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, la de los Primeros frutos de la cosecha del trigo y la Fiesta de la Cosecha al terminar el 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 comparecerá todo varón tuyo ante el ʼAdón Yavé el ʼElohim 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 de delante de ti y ensancharé tus límites. Nadie codiciará tu tierra cuando subas tres veces al año para comparecer delante de Yavé tu ʼElohim.

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 degollarás ni derramarás la sangre de mi animal de sacrificio sobre algo leudado, ni guardarás hasta la mañana siguiente el animal de la fiesta solemne de la Pascua.

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 Llevarás la primicia de los primeros frutos de tu tierra a la casa de Yavé tu ʼElohim. No cocerás el 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 Yavé dijo a Moisés: Escribe estas Palabras, pues conforme a estas Palabras concerté 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 Él estuvo allí con Yavé 40 días y 40 noches sin comer pan ni beber agua, y escribió sobre las tablas las Palabras del Pacto: 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 Aconteció que al bajar Moisés de la Montaña Sinaí con las dos tablas del Testimonio (que estaban en las manos de Moisés al bajar de la Montaña), Moisés no sabía que la piel de su rostro resplandecía 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 Aarón y todos los hijos de Israel miraron a Moisés. Ciertamente la piel de su rostro resplandecía, y temieron 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 Pero Moisés los llamó. Aarón y todos los jefes de la congregación fueron 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 de esto se acercaron todos los hijos de Israel, y les ordenó todo lo que Yavé le habló en la Montaña 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 su rostro.

When Moses/I finished talking to the people, he/I put a veil over his/my face.

34 Sin embargo, cuando Moisés entraba a la Presencia de Yavé para hablar con Él, se quitaba el velo hasta cuando salía. Al salir, hablaba con los hijos de Israel lo que se le ordenó.

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 que la piel del rostro de Moisés resplandecía. Entonces Moisés se volvía a poner el velo sobre su rostro, hasta cuando entraba 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.
