Exodus 34

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

1 ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «انْحَتْ لَكَ لَوْحَينِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مِثْلَ اللَّوْحَينِ الأَوَّلَيْنِ. فَأَكْتُبَ أَنَا عَليْهِمَا الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي دَوَّنْتُهَا عَلَى اللَّوْحَينِ الأَوَّلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ كَسَرْتَهُمَا.

2 Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.

2 وَتَأَهَّبْ فِي الصَّبَاحِ ثُمَّ اصْعَدْ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، وَامْثُلْ أَمَامِي هُنَاكَ عَلَى قِمَّةِ الجَبَلِ.

3 No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”

3 وَلا يَصْعَدْ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ، وَلا يُشَاهَدْ عَلَى الجَبَلِ إِنْسَانٌ، وَلا تَرْعَ الْغَنَمُ أَيْضاً وَالْبَقَرُ بِاتِّجَاهِ هَذَا الجَبَلِ».

4 So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.

4 فَنَحَتَ مُوسَى لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مُمَاثِلَيْنِ لِلأَوَّلَيْنِ، وَبَكَّرَ فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ حَسَبَ أَمْرِ الرَّبِّ.

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

5 فَنَزَلَ بِهَيْئَةِ سَحَابٍ، وَوَقَفَ مَعَهُ هُنَاكَ حَيْثُ أَعْلَنَ لَهُ اسْمَهُ: «الرَّبُّ»،

6 Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,

6 وَعَبَرَ مِنْ أَمَامِ مُوسَى مُنَادِياً: «أَنَا الرَّبُّ. الرَّبُّ إِلَهٌ رَؤُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ، بَطِيءُ الْغَضَبِ وَكَثِيرُ الإِحْسَانِ وَالْوَفَاءِ.

7 maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”

7 أَدَّخِرُ الإِحْسَانَ وَأَغْفِرُ الإِثْمَ وَالْمَعْصِيَةَ وَالْخَطِيئَةَ. وَلَكِنِّي لَا أُعْفِي الْمُذْنِبَ مِنَ الْعِقَابِ، بَلْ أَفْتَقِدُ إِثْمَ الآبَاءِ فِي الأَبْنَاءِ وَالأَحْفَادِ حَتَّى الْجِيلِ الرَّابِعِ».

8 Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.

8 فَخَرَّ مُوسَى فِي الحَالِ وَسَجَدَ،

9 “O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”

9 وَقَالَ: «إِنْ حَظِيتُ بِرِضَاكَ أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ، فَلْيُرَافِقْنَا الرَّبُّ فِي مَسِيرِنَا. وَمَعَ أَنَّ هَذَا الشَّعْبَ عَنِيدٌ. لَكِنِ اصْفَحْ عَنْ إِثْمِنَا وَخَطِيئَتِنَا وَاتَّخِذْنَا شَعْباً خَاصّاً لَكَ».

10 And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.

10 فَأَجَابَ الرَّبُّ: «هَا أَنَا أَقْطَعُ مَعَكَ عَهْداً، فَأُجْرِي أَمَامَ جَمِيعِ شَعْبِكَ مُعْجِزَاتٍ لَمْ يُجْرَ مَثِيلُهَا فِي جَمِيعِ أُمَمِ الأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا، فَيَشْهَدُ الشَّعْبُ الَّذِي تُقِيمُ فِي وَسَطِهِ، الْفِعْلَ الْمَهُولَ الَّذِي أَصْنَعُهُ مِنْ أَجْلِكَ.

11 Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

11 وَلَكِنْ أَطِعْ مَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ الْيَوْمَ بِهِ. هَا أَنَا طَارِدٌ مِنْ أَمَامِكَ الأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفَرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ.

12 Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.

12 إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَعْقِدَ مُعَاهَدَةً مَعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ مَاضٍ إِلَيْهَا لِئَلّا يَكُونُوا شَرَكاً لَكُمْ.

13 Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.

13 بَلِ اهْدِمُوا مَذَابِحَهُمْ، وَاكْسِرُوا أَصْنَامَهُمْ، وَاقْطَعُوا أَشْجَارَهُمُ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ.

14 For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

14 إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَعْبُدُوا إِلَهاً آخَرَ غَيْرِي، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ اسْمُهُ غَيُورٌ جِدّاً.

15 Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.

15 إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَعْقِدُوا مُعَاهَدَةً مَعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ، لأَنَّهُمْ حِينَ يَعْبُدُونَ آلِهَتَهُمْ مُشْرِكِينَ وَيَذْبَحُونَ لَهُمْ، يَدْعُونَكُمْ فَتَأْكُلُونَ مِنْ ذَبِيحَتِهِمْ.

16 And when you take some of their daughters as brides for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and cause your sons to do the same.

16 وَتُزَوِّجُونَ بَنِيكُمْ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِمْ، فَيَجْعَلْنَ بَنِيكُمْ يَغْوُونَ أَيْضاً بِعِبَادَةِ آلِهَتِهِنَّ.

17 You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.

17 إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ آلِهَةً مَسْبُوكَةً.

18 You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you. For in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.

18 احْتَفِلُوا بِعِيدِ الْفَطِيرِ، فَتَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيراً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ (أَيْ شَهْرِ نِيسَانَ وَهُوَ الشَّهْرُ الأَوَّلُ مِنَ السَّنَةِ الْعِبْرِيَّةِ)، لأَنَّكُمْ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ خَرَجْتُمْ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

19 The first offspring of every womb belongs to Me, including all the firstborn males among your livestock, whether cattle or sheep.

19 كُلُّ بِكْرٍ ذَكَرٍ هُوَ لِي، وَكَذَلِكَ كُلُّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ مَاشِيَتِكَ مِنَ الثِّيرَانِ وَالْخِرْفَانِ وَالْمَاعِزِ.

20 You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; but if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.

20 أَمَّا بِكْرُ الْحِمَارِ فَتَفْدِيهِ بِحَمَلٍ، وَإلَّا تَدُقُّ عُنُقَهُ. كُلُّ ابْنٍ بِكْرٍ لَكَ تَفْدِيهِ بِحَمَلٍ. لَا تَمْثُلُوا أَمَامِي بِأَيْدٍ فَارِغَةٍ.

21 Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in the seasons of plowing and harvesting, you must rest.

21 فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الْسَّابِعِ تَسْتَرِيحُ، حَتَّى لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي مَوَاسِمِ الْفَلاحَةِ وَالْحَصَادِ.

22 And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.

22 احْتَفِلُوا أَيْضاً بِعِيدِ الأَسَابِيعِ فِي أَوَّلِ حَصَادِ الْقَمْحِ. وَبِعِيدِ الْجَمْعِ فِي آخِرِ السَّنَةِ.

23 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

23 عَلَى جَمِيعِ الذُّكُورِ أَنْ يَمْثُلُوا ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي السَّنَةِ أَمَامَ السَّيِّدِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

24 For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.

24 هَا أَنَا أَطْرُدُ الأُمَمَ مِنْ أَمَامِكُمْ، وَأُوَسِّعُ حُدُودَكُمْ، وَلَنْ يَطْمَعَ أَحَدٌ فِي أَرْضِكُمْ حِينَ تَصْعَدُونَ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي السَّنَةِ.

25 Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to Me along with anything leavened, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning.

25 لَا تُقَرِّبْ دَمَ ذَبِيحَةٍ مَعَ عَجِينٍ مُخْتَمِرٍ. وَلا تَتْرُكْ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَبِيحَةِ الْفِصْحِ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ التَّالِي.

26 Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

26 تُحْضِرُ إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ بَاكُورَةَ ثِمَارِ أَرْضِكَ. وَلا تَطْبُخْ جَدْياً فِي لَبَنِ أُمِّهِ».

27 The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

27 وَاسْتَطْرَدَ الرَّبُّ: «دَوِّنْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ، لأَنَّنِي قَطَعْتُ مَعَكَ وَمَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَهْداً بُناءً عَلَيْهَا».

28 So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

28 وَمَكَثَ مُوسَى فِي حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، لَمْ يَأْكُلْ فِيهَا خُبْزاً، وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً. فَدَوَّنَ عَلَى اللَّوْحَينِ كَلِمَاتِ العَهْدِ، أَيِ الْوَصَايَا الْعَشْرَ.

29 And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.

29 وَعِنْدَمَا انْحَدَرَ مِنْ جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ حَامِلاً بِيَدَيْهِ لَوْحَيِ الشَّهَادَةِ، لَمْ يَكُنْ يَدْرِي أَنَّ وَجْهَهُ كَانَ يَلْمَعُ لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَحَدَّثُ مَعَ اللهِ.

30 Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him.

30 وَحِينَ شَاهَدَ هَرُونُ وَبَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ مُوسَى، كَانَ وَجْهُهُ لامِعاً، فَخَافُوا أَنْ يَقْتَرِبُوا مِنْهُ،

31 But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.

31 فَدَعَاهُمْ مُوسَى فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ هَرُونُ وَرُؤَسَاءُ الشَّعْبِ فَخَاطَبَهُمْ.

32 And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.

32 وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنِ اقْتَرَبَ مِنْهُ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتَلا عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ الْوَصَايَا الَّتِي أَمْلاهَا الرَّبُّ فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ.

33 When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.

33 وَعِنْدَمَا أَنْهَى مُوسَى حَدِيثَهُ مَعَهُمْ، وَضَعَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ بُرْقُعاً،

34 But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,

34 كَانَ يَخْلَعُهُ عِنْدَ مُثُولِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ لِيَتَحَادَثَ مَعَهُ إِلَى أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ مِنْ لَدُنْهِ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ لِيُخَاطِبَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمَا أَوْصَاهُ.

35 and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.

35 فَإِذَا عَايَنَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَعَاناً فِي جِلْدِ وَجْهِ مُوسَى، كَانَ يَرُدُّ الْبُرْقُعَ إِلَى حِينِ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الْخَيْمَةِ لِلتَّحَدُّثِ مَعَ الرَّبِّ فَيَرْفَعُهُ.
