Esodo 34

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
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 Yahweh said to Moses, 'Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones and come up to me on themountain, and I wil write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
2 Esto paratus mane, ut ascendas statim in montem Sinai; stabisque mihi super verticem montis.	2 Be ready at dawn; at dawn come up Mount Sinai and wait for me there at 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 one may come up with you, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain; the flocks and herdsmay not even graze in front of this 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 he cut two tablets of stone like the first and, with the two tablets of stone in his hands, Moses wentup Mount Sinai in the early morning as Yahweh had ordered.
5 Cumque descendisset Dominus per nubem, stetit cum eo vocans in nomine Domini.	5 And Yahweh descended in a cloud and stood with him there and pronounced the name Yahweh.
6 Et transiens coram eo clamavit: “ Dominus, Dominus Deus, misericors et clemens, patiens et multae miserationis ac verax,	6 Then Yahweh passed before him and cal ed out, 'Yahweh, Yahweh, God of tenderness andcompassion, slow to anger, rich in faithful love and constancy,
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 maintaining his faithful love to thousands, forgiving fault, crime and sin, yet letting nothing gounchecked, and punishing the parent's fault in the children and in the grandchildren to the third and fourthgeneration!'
8 Festinusque Moyses curvatus est pronus in terram et adorans	8 Moses immediately bowed to the ground in worship,
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 then he said, 'If indeed I do enjoy your favour, please, my Lord, come with us, although they are anobstinate people; and forgive our faults and sins, and adopt us as your heritage.'
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 He then said, 'Look, I am now making a covenant: I shal work such wonders at the head of yourwhole people as have never been worked in any other country or nation, and all the people round you wil seewhat Yahweh can do, for what I shal do through you wil be awe-inspiring.
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 Mark, then, what I command you today. I am going to drive out the Amorites, the Canaanites, theHittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites before you.
12 Cave, ne umquam cum habitatoribus terrae, quam intraveris, iungas amicitias, quae tibi sint in ruinam;	12 Take care you make no pact with the inhabitants of the country which you are about to enter, or theywil prove a snare in your community.
13 sed aras eorum destrue, confringe lapides palosque succide.	13 You wil tear down their altars, smash their cultic stones and cut down their sacred poles,
14 Noli adorare deum alienum: Dominus Zelotes nomen eius, Deus est aemulator.	14 for you wil worship no other god, since Yahweh's name is the Jealous One; he 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 Make no pact with the inhabitants of the country or, when they prostitute themselves to their owngods and sacrifice to them, they wil invite you and you wil partake of their 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 then you wil choose wives for your sons from among their daughters, and their daughters,prostituting themselves to their own gods, wil induce your sons to prostitute themselves to their gods.
17 Deos conflatiles non facies tibi.	17 'You wil not cast metal gods for yourself.
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 'You wil observe the feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you wil eat unleavened bread, as Ihave commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out ofEgypt.
19 Omne, quod aperit vulvam generis masculini, meum erit; de cuncto grege tuo tam de bobus quam de ovibus meum erit.	19 'Al that first issues from the womb belongs to me: every male, every first-born of flock or herd.
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 But the first-born donkey you wil redeem with an animal from the flock; if you do not redeem it, youmust break its neck. Al the first-born of your sons you will redeem, and no one wil appear before me empty-handed.
21 Sex diebus operaberis, die septimo cessabis etiam arare et metere.	21 'For six days you wil labour, but on the seventh day you wil rest; you wil stop work even duringploughing and harvesting.
22 Sollemnitatem Hebdomadarum facies tibi in primitiis frugum messis tuae triticeae et sollemnitatem Collectae, quando, redeunte anni tempore, cuncta conduntur.	22 'You wil observe the feast of Weeks, of the first-fruits of the wheat harvest, and the feast ofIngathering at the close of the year.
23 Tribus temporibus anni apparebit omne masculinum tuum in conspectu omnipotentis Domini, Dei Israel.	23 'Three times a year al your menfolk wil appear before Lord Yahweh, 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 shal dispossess the nations before you and extend your frontiers, and no one wil set his hearton your territory when you go away to appear before Yahweh your God three times a year.
25 Non immolabis super fermento sanguinem hostiae meae; neque residebit mane de victima sollemnitatis Paschae.	25 'You wil not offer the blood of my sacrificial victim with leavened bread, nor is the victim offered atthe feast of Passover to be left until the fol owing day.
26 Primitias frugum terrae tuae afferes in domum Domini Dei tui. Non coques haedum in lacte matris suae ”.	26 'You wil bring the best of the first-fruits of your soil to the house of Yahweh your God. 'You wil notboil 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 Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Put these words in writing, for they are the terms of the covenant whichI have made 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 He stayed there with Yahweh for forty days and forty nights, eating and drinking nothing, and on thetablets he wrote the words of the covenant -- the Ten Words.
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 tablets of the Testimony in his hands, as hewas coming down the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face was radiant because he had beentalking to him.
30 Videntes autem Aaron et filii Israel resplendere cutem faciei Moysi, timuerunt prope accedere;	30 And when Aaron and al the Israelites saw Moses, the skin on his face was so radiant that they wereafraid to go 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 al the leaders of the community rejoined him, and Mosestalked to them,
32 venerunt ad eum etiam omnes filii Israel; quibus praecepit cuncta, quae audierat a Domino in monte Sinai.	32 after which al the Israelites came closer, and he passed on to them al the orders that Yahweh hadgiven to him on Mount Sinai.
33 Impletisque sermonibus, posuit velamen super faciem suam,	33 Once Moses had finished speaking to them, he put a veil over 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 Whenever Moses went into Yahweh's presence to speak with him, he took the veil off until he cameout. And when he came out, he would tel the Israelites what orders he had been given,
35 Qui videbant cutem faciei Moysi resplendere, sed operiebat ille rursus faciem suam, donec ingressus loqueretur cum eo.	35 and the Israelites would see Moses' face radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his faceuntil he went in to speak to him next time.
