BSB

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.

SVD

1 ثُمَّ قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱنْحَتْ لَكَ لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ مِثْلَ ٱلْأَوَّلَيْنِ، فَأَكْتُبَ أَنَا عَلَى ٱللَّوْحَيْنِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَى ٱللَّوْحَيْنِ ٱلْأَوَّلَيْنِ ٱللَّذَيْنِ كَسَرْتَهُمَا.

BSB

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

SVD

2 وَكُنْ مُسْتَعِدًّا لِلصَّبَاحِ. وَٱصْعَدْ فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ، وَقِفْ عِنْدِي هُنَاكَ عَلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ.

BSB

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.”

SVD

3 وَلَا يَصْعَدْ أَحَدٌ مَعَكَ، وَأَيْضًا لَا يُرَ أَحَدٌ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْجَبَلِ. ٱلْغَنَمُ أَيْضًا وَٱلْبَقَرُ لَا تَرْعَ إِلَى جِهَةِ ذَلِكَ ٱلْجَبَلِ».

BSB

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.

SVD

4 فَنَحَتَ لَوْحَيْنِ مِنْ حَجَرٍ كَٱلْأَوَّلَيْنِ. وَبَكَّرَ مُوسَى فِي ٱلصَّبَاحِ وَصَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ ٱلرَّبُّ، وَأَخَذَ فِي يَدِهِ لَوْحَيِ ٱلْحَجَرِ.

BSB

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

SVD

5 فَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي ٱلسَّحَابِ، فَوَقَفَ عِنْدَهُ هُنَاكَ وَنَادَى بِٱسْمِ ٱلرَّبِّ.

BSB

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,

SVD

6 فَٱجْتَازَ ٱلرَّبُّ قُدَّامَهُ، وَنَادَى ٱلرَّبُّ: «ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهٌ رَحِيمٌ وَرَؤُوفٌ، بَطِيءُ ٱلْغَضَبِ وَكَثِيرُ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ وَٱلْوَفَاءِ.

BSB

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.”

SVD

7 حَافِظُ ٱلْإِحْسَانِ إِلَى أُلُوفٍ. غَافِرُ ٱلْإِثْمِ وَٱلْمَعْصِيَةِ وَٱلْخَطِيَّةِ. وَلَكِنَّهُ لَنْ يُبْرِئَ إِبْرَاءً. مُفْتَقِدٌ إِثْمَ ٱلْآبَاءِ فِي ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ، وَفِي أَبْنَاءِ ٱلْأَبْنَاءِ، فِي ٱلْجِيلِ ٱلثَّالِثِ وَٱلرَّابِعِ».

BSB

8 Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.

SVD

8 فَأَسْرَعَ مُوسَى وَخَرَّ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَسَجَدَ.

BSB

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.”

SVD

9 وَقَالَ: «إِنْ وَجَدْتُ نِعْمَةً فِي عَيْنَيْكَ أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّيِّدُ فَلْيَسِرِ ٱلسَّيِّدُ فِي وَسَطِنَا، فَإِنَّهُ شَعْبٌ صُلْبُ ٱلرَّقَبَةِ. وَٱغْفِرْ إِثْمَنَا وَخَطِيَّتَنَا وَٱتَّخِذْنَا مُلْكًا».

BSB

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.

SVD

10 فَقَالَ: «هَا أَنَا قَاطِعٌ عَهْدًا. قُدَّامَ جَمِيعِ شَعْبِكَ أَفْعَلُ عَجَائِبَ لَمْ تُخْلَقْ فِي كُلِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ، فَيَرَى جَمِيعُ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي أَنْتَ فِي وَسَطِهِ فِعْلَ ٱلرَّبِّ. إِنَّ ٱلَّذِي أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ مَعَكَ رَهِيبٌ.

BSB

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

SVD

11 «اِحْفَظْ مَا أَنَا مُوصِيكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ. هَا أَنَا طَارِدٌ مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ ٱلْأَمُورِيِّينَ وَٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ وَٱلْحِثِّيِّينَ وَٱلْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَٱلْحِوِّيِّينَ وَٱلْيَبُوسِيِّينَ.

BSB

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.

SVD

12 اِحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تَقْطَعَ عَهْدًا مَعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنْتَ آتٍ إِلَيْهَا لِئَلَّا يَصِيرُوا فَخًّا فِي وَسَطِكَ،

BSB

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

SVD

13 بَلْ تَهْدِمُونَ مَذَابِحَهُمْ، وَتُكَسِّرُونَ أَنْصَابَهُمْ، وَتَقْطَعُونَ سَوَارِيَهُمْ.

BSB

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

SVD

14 فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْجُدُ لِإِلَهٍ آخَرَ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ ٱسْمُهُ غَيُورٌ. إِلَهٌ غَيُورٌ هُوَ.

BSB

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.

SVD

15 اِحْتَرِزْ مِنْ أَنْ تَقْطَعَ عَهْدًا مَعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيَزْنُونَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَتِهِمْ وَيَذْبَحُونَ لِآلِهَتِهِمْ، فَتُدْعَى وَتَأْكُلُ مِنْ ذَبِيحَتِهِمْ،

BSB

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.

SVD

16 وَتَأْخُذُ مِنْ بَنَاتِهِمْ لِبَنِيكَ، فَتَزْنِي بَنَاتُهُمْ وَرَاءَ آلِهَتِهِنَّ، وَيَجْعَلْنَ بَنِيكَ يَزْنُونَ وَرَاءَ آلِهَتِهِنَّ.

BSB

17 You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.

SVD

17 «لَا تَصْنَعْ لِنَفْسِكَ آلِهَةً مَسْبُوكَةً.

BSB

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.

SVD

18 تَحْفَظُ عِيدَ ٱلْفَطِيرِ. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُ فَطِيرًا كَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ فِي وَقْتِ شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ، لِأَنَّكَ فِي شَهْرِ أَبِيبَ خَرَجْتَ مِنْ مِصْرَ.

BSB

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

SVD

19 لِي كُلُّ فَاتِحِ رَحِمٍ، وَكُلُّ مَا يُولَدُ ذَكَرًا مِنْ مَوَاشِيكَ بِكْرًا مِنْ ثَوْرٍ وَشَاةٍ.

BSB

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.

SVD

20 وَأَمَّا بِكْرُ ٱلْحِمَارِ فَتَفْدِيهِ بِشَاةٍ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْدِهِ تَكْسِرُ عُنُقَهُ. كُلُّ بِكْرٍ مِنْ بَنِيكَ تَفْدِيهِ، وَلَا يَظْهَرُوا أَمَامِي فَارِغِينَ.

BSB

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.

SVD

21 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ تَعْمَلُ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَتَسْتَرِيحُ فِيهِ. فِي ٱلْفَلَاحَةِ وَفِي ٱلْحَصَادِ تَسْتَرِيحُ.

BSB

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.

SVD

22 وَتَصْنَعُ لِنَفْسِكَ عِيدَ ٱلْأَسَابِيعِ أَبْكَارِ حِصَادِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ. وَعِيدَ ٱلْجَمْعِ فِي آخِرِ ٱلسَّنَةِ.

BSB

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

SVD

23 ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ يَظْهَرُ جَمِيعُ ذُكُورِكَ أَمَامَ ٱلسَّيِّدِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

BSB

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.

SVD

24 فَإِنِّي أَطْرُدُ ٱلْأُمَمَ مِنْ قُدَّامِكَ وَأُوَسِّعُ تُخُومَكَ، وَلَا يَشْتَهِي أَحَدٌ أَرْضَكَ حِينَ تَصْعَدُ لِتَظْهَرَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ.

BSB

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.

SVD

25 لَا تَذْبَحْ عَلَى خَمِيرٍ دَمَ ذَبِيحَتِي، وَلَا تَبِتْ إِلَى ٱلْغَدِ ذَبِيحَةُ عِيدِ ٱلْفِصْحِ.

BSB

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.”

SVD

26 أَوَّلُ أَبْكَارِ أَرْضِكَ تُحْضِرُهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ. لَا تَطْبُخْ جَدْيًا بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ».

BSB

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.”

SVD

27 وَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «ٱكْتُبْ لِنَفْسِكَ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ، لِأَنَّنِي بِحَسَبِ هَذِهِ ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ قَطَعْتُ عَهْدًا مَعَكَ وَمَعَ إِسْرَائِيلَ».

BSB

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.

SVD

28 وَكَانَ هُنَاكَ عِنْدَ ٱلرَّبِّ أَرْبَعِينَ نَهَارًا وَأَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً، لَمْ يَأْكُلْ خُبْزًا وَلَمْ يَشْرَبْ مَاءً. فَكَتَبَ عَلَى ٱللَّوْحَيْنِ كَلِمَاتِ ٱلْعَهْدِ، ٱلْكَلِمَاتِ ٱلْعَشَرَ.

BSB

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.

SVD

29 وَكَانَ لَمَّا نَزَلَ مُوسَى مِنْ جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ وَلَوْحَا ٱلشَّهَادَةِ فِي يَدِ مُوسَى، عِنْدَ نُزُولِهِ مِنَ ٱلْجَبَلِ، أَنَّ مُوسَى لَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّ جِلْدَ وَجْهِهِ صَارَ يَلْمَعُ فِي كَلَامِهِ مَعَهُ.

BSB

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

SVD

30 فَنَظَرَ هَارُونُ وَجَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مُوسَى وَإِذَا جِلْدُ وَجْهِهِ يَلْمَعُ، فَخَافُوا أَنْ يَقْتَرِبُوا إِلَيْهِ.

BSB

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

SVD

31 فَدَعَاهُمْ مُوسَى. فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ هَارُونُ وَجَمِيعُ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ فِي ٱلْجَمَاعَةِ، فَكَلَّمَهُمْ مُوسَى.

BSB

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.

SVD

32 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱقْتَرَبَ جَمِيعُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَأَوْصَاهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَهُ فِي جَبَلِ سِينَاءَ.

BSB

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

SVD

33 وَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مُوسَى مِنَ ٱلْكَلَامِ مَعَهُمْ، جَعَلَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ بُرْقُعًا.

BSB

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,

SVD

34 وَكَانَ مُوسَى عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ يَنْزِعُ ٱلْبُرْقُعَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ وَيُكَلِّمُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمَا يُوصَى.

BSB

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.

SVD

35 فَإِذَا رَأَى بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَجْهَ مُوسَى أَنَّ جِلْدَهُ يَلْمَعُ كَانَ مُوسَى يَرُدُّ ٱلْبُرْقُعَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ لِيَتَكَلَّمَ مَعَهُ.
