SMITH VAN DYKE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 وقال لموسى اصعد الى الرب انت وهرون وناداب وابيهو وسبعون من شيوخ اسرائيل. واسجدوا من بعيد.	1 He also said to Moses: “Ascend to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy elders out of Israel, and adore from a distance.
2 ويقترب موسى وحده الى الرب وهم لا يقتربون. واما الشعب فلا يصعد معه.	2 And only Moses will ascend to the Lord, and these shall not approach. Neither shall the people ascend with him.”
3 فجاء موسى وحدّث الشعب بجميع اقوال الرب وجميع الاحكام. فاجاب جميع الشعب بصوت واحد وقالوا كل الاقوال التي تكلم بها الرب نفعل.	3 Therefore, Moses went and explained to the people all the words of the Lord, as well as the judgments. And all the people responded with one voice: “We will do all the words of the Lord, which he has spoken.”
4 فكتب موسى جميع اقوال الرب. وبكر في الصباح وبنى مذبحا في اسفل الجبل واثني عشر عمودا لاسباط اسرائيل الاثني عشر.	4 Then Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And rising up in the morning, he built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 وارسل فتيان بني اسرائيل فاصعدوا محرقات وذبحوا ذبائح سلامة للرب من الثيران.	5 And he sent youths from the sons of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and they immolated calves as peace-offerings to the Lord.
6 فأخذ موسى نصف الدم ووضعه في الطسوس. ونصف الدم رشّه على المذبح.	6 And so Moses took one half part of the blood, and he put it into bowls. Then the remaining part he poured over the altar.
7 واخذ كتاب العهد وقرأ في مسامع الشعب. فقالوا كل ما تكلم به الرب نفعل ونسمع له.	7 And taking up the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people, who said: “All that the Lord has spoken, we will do, and we will be obedient.”
8 واخذ موسى الدم ورشّ على الشعب وقال هوذا دم العهد الذي قطعه الرب معكم على جميع هذه الاقوال	8 In truth, taking up the blood, he sprinkled it on the people, and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has formed with you concerning all these words.”
9 ثم صعد موسى وهرون وناداب وابيهو وسبعون من شيوخ اسرائيل.	9 And Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel ascended.
10 ورأوا اله اسرائيل وتحت رجليه شبه صنعة من العقيق الازرق الشفّاف وكذات السماء في النقاوة.	10 And they saw the God of Israel. And under his feet was something like a work of sapphire stone, or like the sky, when it is serene.
11 ولكنه لم يمدّ يده الى اشراف بني اسرائيل. فرأوا الله وأكلوا وشربوا	11 Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the sons of Israel who were at a distance. And they saw God, and they ate and drank.
12 وقال الرب لموسى اصعد اليّ الى الجبل وكن هناك. فاعطيك لوحي الحجارة والشريعة والوصية التي كتبتها لتعليمهم.	12 Then the Lord said to Moses: “Ascend to me on the mountain, and be there. And I will give to you tablets of stone, and the law and the commandments that I have written. So may you teach them.”
13 فقام موسى ويشوع خادمه. وصعد موسى الى جبل الله.	13 Moses rose up, with Joshua his minister. And Moses, ascending on the mountain of God,
14 واما الشيوخ فقال لهم اجلسوا لنا ههنا حتى نرجع اليكم. وهوذا هرون وحور معكم. فمن كان صاحب دعوة فليتقدّم اليهما.	14 said to the elders: “Wait here, until we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you. If any question arises, you shall refer it to them.”
15 فصعد موسى الى الجبل. فغطّى السحاب الجبل.	15 And when Moses had ascended, a cloud covered the mountain.
16 وحلّ مجد الرب على جبل سيناء وغطّاه السحاب ستة ايام. وفي اليوم السابع دعي موسى من وسط السحاب.	16 And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud for six days. And on the seventh day, he called to him from the middle of the mist.
17 وكان منظر مجد الرب كنار آكلة على راس الجبل امام عيون بني اسرائيل.	17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire over the summit of the mountain in the sight of the sons of Israel.
18 ودخل موسى في وسط السحاب وصعد الى الجبل. وكان موسى في الجبل اربعين نهارا واربعين ليلة	18 And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, ascended the mountain. And he was there for forty days and forty nights.
