Liber Exodus, 34

1. Dixitque Dominus ad Moy sen: “Praecide tibi duas ta bulas lapideas instar priorum, et scribam super eas verba, quae habuerunt tabulae, quas fregisti.

1. The LORD said to Moses, "Cut two tables of stone like the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which you broke.

2. Esto paratus mane, ut ascendas statim in montem Sinai; stabisque mihi super verticem montis.

2. Be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to me on the top of the mountain.

3. Nullus ascendat tecum, nec videatur quispiam per totum montem; oves quoque et boves non pascantur e contra”.

3. No man shall come up with you, and let no man be seen throughout all the mountain; let no flocks or herds feed before that mountain."

4. Excidit ergo duas tabulas lapideas, quales antea fuerant; et de nocte consurgens ascendit in montem Sinai, sicut praeceperat ei Dominus, portans secum tabulas.

4. So Moses cut two tables of stone like the first; and he rose early in the morning and went up on Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone.

5. Cumque descendisset Dominus per nubem, stetit cum eo vocans in nomine Domini.

5. And the LORD descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

6. Et transiens coram eo clamavit: “Dominus, Dominus Deus, misericors et clemens, patiens et multae miserationis ac verax,

6. The LORD passed before him, and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,

7. qui custodit misericordiam in milia, qui aufert iniquitatem et scelera atque peccata, nihil autem impunitum sinit, qui reddit iniquitatem patrum in filiis ac nepotibus in tertiam et quartam progeniem”.

7. keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation."

8. Festinusque Moyses curvatus est pronus in terram et adorans

8. And Moses made haste to bow his head toward the earth, and worshiped.

9. ait: “Si inveni gratiam in conspectu tuo, Domine, obsecro, ut gradiaris nobiscum; populus quidem durae cervicis est, sed tu auferes iniquitates nostras atque peccata nosque possidebis”.

9. And he said, "If now I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in the midst of us, although it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thy inheritance."

10. Respondit Dominus: “Ego inibo pactum coram universo populo tuo; mirabilia faciam, quae numquam visa sunt super totam terram nec in ullis gentibus, ut cernat cunctus populus, in cuius es medio, opus Domini terribile, quod facturus sum tecum.

10. And he said, "Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth or in any nation; and all the people among whom 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 eiciam ante faciem tuam Amorraeum et Chananaeum et Hetthaeum, Pherezaeum quoque et Hevaeum et Iebusaeum.

11. "Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Per'izzites, the Hivites, and the Jeb'usites.

12. Cave, ne umquam cum habitatoribus terrae, quam intraveris, iungas amicitias, quae tibi sint in ruinam;

12. Take heed to yourself, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither you go, lest it become a snare in the midst of you.

13. sed aras eorum destrue, confringe lapides palosque succide.

13. You shall tear down their altars, and break their pillars, and cut down their Ashe'rim

14. Noli adorare deum alienum: Dominus Zelotes nomen eius, Deus est aemulator.

14. (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 sacrificaverint eis, vocet te quispiam, et comedas de immolatis.

15. lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and when they play the harlot after their gods and sacrifice to their gods and one invites you, you eat of his sacrifice,

16. Nec uxorem de filiabus eorum accipies filiis tuis, ne, postquam ipsae fuerint fornicatae cum diis suis, fornicari faciant et filios tuos in deos suos.

16. and you take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters play the harlot after their gods and make your sons play the harlot after their gods.

17. Deos conflatiles non facies tibi.

17. "You shall make for yourself no molten gods.

18. Sollemnitatem Azymorum custodies: septem diebus vesceris azymis, sicut praecepi tibi, in tempore constituto mensis Abib; mense enim verni temporis egressus es de Aegypto.

18. "The feast of unleavened bread you shall keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.

19. Omne, quod aperit vulvam generis masculini, meum erit; de cuncto grege tuo tam de bobus quam de ovibus meum erit.

19. All that opens the womb is mine, all your male cattle, the firstlings of cow and sheep.

20. Primogenitum asini redimes ove, sin autem nec pretium pro eo dederis, franges cervicem eius. Primogenitum filiorum tuorum redimes; nec apparebis in conspectu meo vacuus.

20. The firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. All the first-born of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

21. Sex diebus operaberis, die septimo cessabis etiam arare et metere.

21. "Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

22. Sollemnitatem Hebdomadarum facies tibi in primitiis frugum messis tuae triticeae et sollemnitatem Collectae, quando, redeunte anni tempore, cuncta conduntur.

22. And you shall observe the feast of weeks, 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.

23. Three times in the year shall all your males 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.

24. For I will cast out nations before you, and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land, when you go up to appear before the LORD your God three times in the year.

25. Non immolabis super fermento sanguinem hostiae meae; neque residebit mane de victima sollemnitatis Paschae.

25. "You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left until the morning.

26. Primitias frugum terrae tuae afferes in domum Domini Dei tui. Non coques haedum in lacte matris suae”.

26. The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of the LORD your God. You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk."

27. Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: “Scribe tibi verba haec, quibus et tecum et cum Israel pepigi foedus”.

27. And the LORD said to Moses, "Write these words; in accordance with 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 verba.

28. And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank 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 resplenderet cutis faciei suae ex consortio sermonis Domini.

29. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tables of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God.

30. Videntes autem Aaron et filii Israel resplendere cutem faciei Moysi, timuerunt prope accedere;

30. And when Aaron and all the people 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,

31. But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders 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.

32. And afterward all the people 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,

33. And when Moses had finished 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.

34. but whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and when he came out, and told the people of Israel what he was commanded,

35. Qui videbant cutem faciei Moysi resplendere, sed operiebat ille rursus faciem suam, donec ingressus loqueretur cum eo.

35. the people of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone; and Moses would put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
