Exodus 19
1 Mense tertio egressionis Israel de Terra Ægypti, in die hac venerunt in solitudinem Sinai.
In the third moneth, after the children of Israel were gone out of the lande of Egypt, the same day came they into the wildernes of Sinai.
2 Nam profecti de Raphidim, et pervenientes usque in desertum Sinai, castrametati sunt in eodem loco, ibique Israel fixit tentoria e regione montis.
For they departed from Rephidim, and came to the desart of Sinai, and camped in the wildernesse: euen there Israel camped before the mount.
3 Moyses autem ascendit ad Deum, vocavitque eum Dominus de monte, et ait: Hæc dices domui Iacob, et annunciabis filiis Israel:
But Moses went vp vnto God, for ye Lord had called out of the mount vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Iaakob, and tell the children of Israel,
4 Vos ipsi vidistis, quæ fecerim Ægyptiis, quo modo portaverim vos super alas aquilarum, et assumpserim mihi.
Ye haue seene what I did vnto the Egyptians, and how I caryed you vpon eagles wings, and haue brought you vnto me.
5 Si ergo audieritis vocem meam, et custodieritis pactum meum, eritis mihi in peculium de cunctis populis: mea est enim omnis terra.
Now therefore if ye wil heare my voyce in deede, and keepe my couenant, then ye shalbe my chiefe treasure aboue all people, though all the earth be mine.
6 Et vos eritis mihi in regnum sacerdotale, et gens sancta. hæc sunt verba quæ loqueris ad filios Israel.
Yee shall be vnto mee also a kingdome of Priestes, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel.
7 Venit Moyses: et convocatis maioribus natu populi, exposuit omnes sermones quos mandaverat Dominus.
Moses then came and called for the Elders of the people, and proposed vnto them all these things, which the Lord commanded him.
8 Responditque omnis populus simul: Cuncta quæ locutus est Dominus, faciemus. Cumque retulisset Moyses verba populi ad Dominum,
And the people answered all together, and sayd, All that the Lord hath commanded, we will doe. And Moses reported the wordes of the people vnto the Lord.
9 ait ei Dominus: Iam nunc veniam ad te in caligine nubis, ut audiat me populus loquentem ad te, et credat tibi in perpetuum. Nunciavit ergo Moyses verba populi ad Dominum.
And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Lo, I come vnto thee in a thicke cloude, that the people may heare, whiles I talke with thee, and that they may also beleeue thee for euer. (for Moses had tolde the wordes of the people vnto the Lord)
10 Qui dixit ei: Vade ad populum, et sanctifica illos hodie, et cras, laventque vestimenta sua.
Moreouer, the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Goe to the people, and sanctifie them to day and to morow, and let them wash their clothes.
11 Et sint parati in diem tertium: in die enim tertia descendet Dominus coram omni plebe super montem Sinai.
And let them be ready on the third day: for the thirde day the Lord will come downe in the sight of all the people vpon mount Sinai:
12 Constituesque terminos populo per circuitum, et dices ad eos: Cavete ne ascendatis in montem, nec tangatis fines illius: omnis qui tetigerit montem, morte morietur.
And thou shalt set markes vnto the people rounde about, saying, Take heede to your selues that ye goe not vp the mount, nor touche the border of it: whosoeuer toucheth the mount, shall surely die.
13 Manus non tanget eum, sed lapidibus opprimetur, aut confodietur iaculis: sive iumentum fuerit, sive homo, non vivet. cum cœperit clangere buccina, tunc ascendant in montem.
No hand shall touche it, but he shalbe stoned to death, or striken through with darts: whether it be beast or man, he shall not liue: when the horne bloweth long, they shall come vp into the mountaine.
14 Descenditque Moyses de monte ad populum, et sanctificavit eum. Cumque lavissent vestimenta sua,
Then Moses went downe from ye mount vnto the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
15 ait ad eos: Estote parati in diem tertium, et ne appropinquetis uxoribus vestris.
And he said vnto the people, Be ready on the third day, and come not at your wiues.
16 Iamque advenerat tertius dies, et mane inclaruerat: et ecce cœperunt audiri tonitrua, ac micare fulgura, et nubes densissima operire montem, clangorque buccinæ vehementius perstrepebat: et timuit populus qui erat in castris.
And the thirde day, when it was morning, there was thunders and lightnings, and a thicke cloude vpon the mount, and the sounde of the trumpet exceeding loude, so that all the people, that was in the campe, was afrayde.
17 Cumque eduxisset eos Moyses in occursum Dei de loco castrorum, steterunt ad radices montis.
Then Moses brought the people out of the tents to meete with God, and they stoode in the nether part of the mount.
18 Totus autem mons Sinai fumabat: eo quod descendisset Dominus super eum in igne, et ascenderet fumus ex eo quasi de fornace: eratque omnis mons terribilis.
And mount Sinai was all on smoke, because the Lord came downe vpon it in fire, and the smoke therof ascended, as the smoke of a fornace, and all the mount trembled exceedingly.
19 Et sonitus buccinæ paulatim crescebat in maius, et prolixius tendebatur: Moyses loquebatur, et Deus respondebat ei.
And when the sound of the trumpet blew long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by voyce.
20 Descenditque Dominus super montem Sinai in ipso montis vertice, et vocavit Moysen in cacumen eius. Quo cum ascendisset,
(For the Lord came downe vpon mount Sinai on the toppe of the mount) and when the Lord called Moses vp into the top of the mount, Moses went vp.
21 dixit ad eum: Descende, et contestare populum: ne forte velit transcendere terminos ad videndum Dominum, et pereat ex eis plurima multitudo.
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go down, charge the people, that they breake not their boundes, to go vp to the Lord to gaze, least many of them perish.
22 Sacerdotes quoque qui accedunt ad Dominum, sanctificentur, ne percutiat eos.
And let the Priestes also which come to the Lord be sanctified, least the Lord destroy 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.
And Moses sayde vnto the Lord, The people can not come vp into the mount Sinai: for thou hast charged vs, saying, Set markes on the mountaine, and sanctifie it.
24 Cui ait Dominus: Vade, descende: ascendesque tu, et Aaron tecum: sacerdotes autem et populus ne transeant terminos, nec ascendant ad Dominum, ne forte interficiat illos.
And the Lord sayd vnto him, Go, get thee downe, and come vp, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the Priestes and the people breake their boundes to come vp vnto the Lord, least he destroy them.
25 Descenditque Moyses ad populum, et omnia narravit eis.
So Moses went downe vnto the people, and tolde them.
