4. You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

5. Si ergo audieritis vocem meam et custodieritis pactum meum, eritis mihi in peculium de cunctis populis; mea est enim omnis terra.

5. Now therefore, if you will obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my own possession among all peoples; for all the earth is mine,

11. et sint parati in diem tertium. In die enim tertio descendet Dominus coram omni plebe super montem Sinai.

11. and be ready by the third day; for on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

12. Constituesque terminos populo per circuitum et dices: Cavete, ne ascendatis in montem nec tangatis fines illius; omnis, qui tetigerit montem, morte morietur.

12. And you shall set bounds for the people round about, saying, `Take heed that you do not go up into the mountain or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death;

13. Manus non tanget eum, sed lapidibus opprimetur aut confodietur iaculis; sive iumentum fuerit, sive homo, non vivet. Cum coeperit clangere bucina, tunc ascendant in montem”.

13. no hand shall touch him, but he shall be stoned or shot; whether beast or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain."

14. So Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and consecrated the people; and they washed their garments.

15. ait ad eos: “Estote parati in diem tertium; ne appropinquetis uxoribus vestris”.

15. And he said to the people, "Be ready by the third day; do not go near a woman."

16. Iamque advenerat tertius dies, et mane inclaruerat; et ecce coeperunt audiri tonitrua ac micare fulgura et nubes densissima operire montem, clangorque bucinae vehementius perstrepebat; et timuit populus, qui erat in castris.

16. On the morning of the third day there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.

17. Cumque eduxisset eos Moyses in occursum Dei de loco castrorum, steterunt ad radices montis.

17. Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God; and they took their stand at the foot of the mountain.

21. dixit ad eum: “Descende et contestare populum, ne velit transcendere terminos ad videndum Dominum, et pereat ex eis plurima multitudo.

21. And the LORD said to Moses, "Go down and warn the people, lest they break through to the LORD to gaze and many of them perish.

22. Sacerdotes quoque, qui accedunt ad Dominum, sanctificentur, ne percutiat eos”.

22. And also let the priests who come near to the LORD consecrate themselves, lest the LORD break out upon them."

23. Dixitque Moyses ad Dominum: “Non poterit vulgus ascendere in montem Sinai, tu enim testificatus es et iussisti dicens: "Pone terminos circa montem et sanctifica illum"”.

23. And Moses said to the LORD, "The people cannot come up to Mount Sinai; for thou thyself didst charge us, saying, `Set bounds about the mountain, and consecrate it.'"

24. And the LORD said to him, "Go down, and come up bringing Aaron with you; but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break out against them."
