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 to Moses, Hew for thyself two tables of stone, as also the first were, and come up to me to the mountain; and I will write upon the tables the words, which were on the first tables, which thou brokest.
2 Esto paratus mane, ut ascendas statim in montem Sinai, stabisque mecum super verticem montis.
And be ready by the morning, and thou shalt go up to the mount Sina, and shalt stand there for me on the top of the mountain.
3 Nullus ascendat tecum, nec videatur quispiam per totum montem: boves quoque et oves non pascantur econtra.
And let no one go up with thee, nor be seen in all the mountain; and let not the sheep and oxen feed near 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.
And [Moses] hewed two tables of stone, as also the first were; and Moses having arisen early, went up to the mount Sina, as the Lord appointed him; and Moses took the two tables of stone.
5 Cumque descendisset Dominus per nubem, stetit Moyses cum eo, invocans nomen Domini.
And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood near him there, and called by 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 his face, and proclaimed, The Lord God, pitiful and merciful, longsuffering and very compassionate, and true,
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.
and keeping justice and mercy for thousands, taking away iniquity, and unrighteousness, and sins; and he will not clear the guilty; bringing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and to the children's children, to the third and fourth generation.
8 Festinusque Moyses, curvatus est pronus in terram, et adorans
And Moses hasted, and bowed to 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 said, If I have found grace before thee, let my Lord go with us; for the people is stiff-necked: and thou shalt take away our sins and our iniquities, and we will be thine.
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 the Lord said to Moses, Behold, I establish a covenant for thee in the presence of all thy people; I will do glorious things, which have not been done in all the earth, or in any nation; and all the people among whom thou art shall see the works of the Lord, that they are wonderful, which I will do for 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.
Do thou take heed to all things whatsoever I command thee: behold, I cast out before your face the Amorite and the Chananite and the Pherezite, and the Chettite, and Evite, and Gergesite and Jebusite:
12 Cave ne umquam cum habitatoribus terrae illius iungas amicitias, quae sint tibi in ruinam:
take heed to thyself, lest at any time thou make a covenant with the dwellers on the land, into which thou art entering, lest it be to thee a stumbling-block among you.
13 sed aras eorum destrue, confringe statuas, lucosque succide:
Ye shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their groves, and the graven images of their gods ye shall burn with fire.
14 noli adorare deum alienum. Dominus zelotes nomen eius, Deus est aemulator.
For ye shall not worship strange gods, for the Lord God, a jealous name, 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 at any time thou make a covenant with the dwellers on the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and they call thee, and thou shouldest eat of their feasts,
16 Nec uxorem de filiabus eorum accipies filiis tuis: ne, postquam ipsae fuerint fornicatae, fornicari faciant et filios tuos in deos suos.
and thou shouldest take of their daughters to thy sons, and thou shouldest give of thy daughters to their sons; and thy daughters should go a whoring after their gods, and thy sons should go a whoring after their gods.
17 Deos conflatiles non facies tibi.
And thou shalt not make to thyself 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.
And thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I have charged thee, at the season in the month of new [corn]; for in the month of new [corn] 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.
The males [are] mine, everything that opens the womb; every first-born of oxen, and [every] first-born of sheep.
20 Primogenitum asini redimes ove: sin autem nec pretium pro eo dederis, occidetur. Primogenitum filiorum tuorum redimes: nec apparebis in conspectu meo vacuus.
And the first-born of an ass thou shalt redeem with a sheep, and if thou wilt not redeem it thou shalt pay a price: every first-born of thy sons shalt thou redeem: thou shalt not 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: [there shall be] rest in seed-time and harvest.
22 Sollemnitatem hebdomadarum facies tibi in primitiis frugum messis tuae triticeae, et sollemnitatem, quando redeunte anni tempore cuncta conduntur.
And thou shalt keep to me the feast of weeks, the beginning of wheat-harvest; and the feast of ingathering in the middle of the year.
23 Tribus temporibus anni apparebit omne masculinum tuum in conspectu omnipotentis Domini Dei Israel.
Three times in the year shall every male of thine appear before the Lord 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 when I shall have cast out the nations before thy face, and shall have enlarged thy coasts, no one shall desire thy land, whenever thou mayest go up to appear before the Lord thy God, three times 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 sacrifices with leaven, neither shall the sacrifices of the feast of the passover remain till the morning.
26 Primitias frugum terrae tuae offeres in domo Domini Dei tui. Non coques hoedum in lacte matris suae.
The first-fruits of thy land shalt thou put into the house of the Lord thy God: thou shalt not boil a lamb 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 to Moses, Write these words for thyself, for on these words I have established 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 Moses was there before the Lord forty days, and forty nights; he did not eat bread, and he did not drink water; and he wrote upon the tables these words of the covenant, the ten sayings.
29 Cumque descenderet Moyses de monte Sinai, tenebat duas tabulas testimonii, et ignorabat quod cornuta esset facies sua ex consortio sermonis Domini.
And when Moses went down from the mountain, [there were] the two tables in the hands of Moses, —as then he went down from the mountain, Moses knew not that the appearance of the skin of his face was glorified, when God spoke to him.
30 Videntes autem Aaron et filii Israel cornutam Moysi faciem, timuerunt prope accedere.
And Aaron and all the elders of Israel saw Moses, and the appearance of the skin of his face was made glorious, and they feared to approach him.
31 Vocatique ab eo, reversi sunt tam Aaron, quam principes synagogae. Et postquam locutus est ad eos,
And Moses called them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the synagogue turned towards him, and Moses spoke to them.
32 venerunt ad eum etiam omnes filii Israel: quibus praecepit cuncta quae audierat a Domino in monte Sinai.
And afterwards all the children of Israel came to him, and he commanded them all things, whatsoever the Lord had commanded him in the mount of Sina.
33 Impletisque sermonibus, posuit velamen super faciem suam.
And when he ceased speaking to 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.
And whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak to him, he took off the veil till he went out, and he went forth and spoke to all the children of Israel whatsoever the Lord commanded him.
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 it was glorified; and Moses put the veil over his face, till he went in to speak with him.
