34 L'Éternel dit à Moïse: Taille deux tables de pierre comme les premières, et j'y écrirai les paroles qui étaient sur les premières tables que tu as brisées.

Sois prêt de bonne heure, et tu monteras dès le matin sur la montagne de Sinaï; tu te tiendras là devant moi, sur le sommet de la montagne.

Que personne ne monte avec toi, et que personne ne paraisse sur toute la montagne; et même que ni brebis ni boeufs ne paissent près de cette montagne.

Moïse tailla deux tables de pierre comme les premières; il se leva de bon matin, et monta sur la montagne de Sinaï, selon l'ordre que l'Éternel lui avait donné, et il prit dans sa main les deux tables de pierre.

L'Éternel descendit dans une nuée, se tint là auprès de lui, et proclama le nom de l'Éternel.

Et l'Éternel passa devant lui, et s'écria: L'Éternel, l'Éternel, Dieu miséricordieux et compatissant, lent à la colère, riche en bonté et en fidélité,

qui conserve son amour jusqu'à mille générations, qui pardonne l'iniquité, la rébellion et le péché, mais qui ne tient point le coupable pour innocent, et qui punit l'iniquité des pères sur les enfants et sur les enfants des enfants jusqu'à la troisième et à la quatrième génération!

Aussitôt Moïse s'inclina à terre et se prosterna.

Il dit: Seigneur, si j'ai trouvé grâce à tes yeux, que le Seigneur marche au milieu de nous, car c'est un peuple au cou roide; pardonne nos iniquités et nos péchés, et prends-nous pour ta possession.

10 L'Éternel répondit: Voici, je traite une alliance. Je ferai, en présence de tout ton peuple, des prodiges qui n'ont eu lieu dans aucun pays et chez aucune nation; tout le peuple qui t'environne verra l'oeuvre de l'Éternel, et c'est par toi que j'accomplirai des choses terribles.

11 Prends garde à ce que je t'ordonne aujourd'hui. Voici, je chasserai devant toi les Amoréens, les Cananéens, les Héthiens, les Phéréziens, les Héviens et les Jébusiens.

12 Garde-toi de faire alliance avec les habitants du pays où tu dois entrer, de peur qu'ils ne soient un piège pour toi.

13 Au contraire, vous renverserez leurs autels, vous briserez leurs statues, et vous abattrez leurs idoles.

14 Tu ne te prosterneras point devant un autre dieu; car l'Éternel porte le nom de jaloux, il est un Dieu jaloux.

15 Garde-toi de faire alliance avec les habitants du pays, de peur que, se prostituant à leurs dieux et leur offrant des sacrifices, ils ne t'invitent, et que tu ne manges de leurs victimes;

16 de peur que tu ne prennes de leurs filles pour tes fils, et que leurs filles, se prostituant à leurs dieux, n'entraînent tes fils à se prostituer à leurs dieux.

17 Tu ne te feras point de dieu en fonte.

18 Tu observeras la fête des pains sans levain; pendant sept jours, au temps fixé dans le mois des épis, tu mangeras des pains sans levain, comme je t'en ai donné l'ordre, car c'est dans le mois des épis que tu es sorti d'Égypte.

19 Tout premier-né m'appartient, même tout mâle premier-né dans les troupeaux de gros et de menu bétail.

20 Tu rachèteras avec un agneau le premier-né de l'âne; et si tu ne le rachètes pas, tu lui briseras la nuque. Tu rachèteras tout premier-né de tes fils; et l'on ne se présentera point à vide devant ma face.

21 Tu travailleras six jours, et tu te reposeras le septième jour; tu te reposeras, même au temps du labourage et de la moisson.

22 Tu célébreras la fête des semaines, des prémices de la moisson du froment, et la fête de la récolte, à la fin de l'année.

23 Trois fois par an, tous les mâles se présenteront devant le Seigneur, l'Éternel, Dieu d'Israël.

24 Car je chasserai les nations devant toi, et j'étendrai tes frontières; et personne ne convoitera ton pays, pendant que tu monteras pour te présenter devant l'Éternel, ton Dieu, trois fois par an.

25 Tu n'offriras point avec du pain levé le sang de la victime immolée en mon honneur; et le sacrifice de la fête de Pâque ne sera point gardé pendant la nuit jusqu'au matin.

26 Tu apporteras à la maison de L'Éternel, ton Dieu, les prémices des premiers fruits de la terre. Tu ne feras point cuire un chevreau dans le lait de sa mère.

27 L'Éternel dit à Moïse: Écris ces paroles; car c'est conformément à ces paroles que je traite alliance avec toi et avec Israël.

28 Moïse fut là avec l'Éternel quarante jours et quarante nuits. Il ne mangea point de pain, et il ne but point d'eau. Et l'Éternel écrivit sur les tables les paroles de l'alliance, les dix paroles.

29 Moïse descendit de la montagne de Sinaï, ayant les deux tables du témoignage dans sa main, en descendant de la montagne; et il ne savait pas que la peau de son visage rayonnait, parce qu'il avait parlé avec l'Éternel.

30 Aaron et tous les enfants d'Israël regardèrent Moïse, et voici la peau de son visage rayonnait; et ils craignaient de s'approcher de lui.

31 Moïse les appela; Aaron et tous les principaux de l'assemblée vinrent auprès de lui, et il leur parla.

32 Après cela, tous les enfants d'Israël s'approchèrent, et il leur donna tous les ordres qu'il avait reçus de l'Éternel, sur la montagne de Sinaï.

33 Lorsque Moïse eut achevé de leur parler, il mit un voile sur son visage.

34 Quand Moïse entrait devant l'Éternel, pour lui parler, il ôtait le voile, jusqu'à ce qu'il sortît; et quand il sortait, il disait aux enfants d'Israël ce qui lui avait été ordonné.

35 Les enfants d'Israël regardaient le visage de Moïse, et voyait que la peau de son visage rayonnait; et Moïse remettait le voile sur son visage jusqu'à ce qu'il entrât, pour parler avec l'Éternel.

新的约版

34 耶和华对摩西说:“你要凿出两块石版,跟你之前摔碎的两块一样,我要把前两块石版上的字刻在上面。 你要预备好,明天清早你要上西奈山顶来见我。 谁也不可与你同来,整座山上都不可有人,就是牛羊也不得在山前吃草。” 于是,摩西凿出两块石版,跟先前的两块一样。他清早起来,照着耶和华的吩咐把石版带到西奈山上。 耶和华在云中降临和摩西一同站在那里,宣告祂的名——耶和华。 耶和华在摩西面前经过,并且宣告说:“我是耶和华,我是耶和华,是有怜悯和恩典的上帝,不轻易发怒,充满慈爱,无比信实, 向千万人彰显慈爱,赦免罪恶和过犯,但决不免除罪责,必向子孙追讨父辈的罪债,直到三四代。” 摩西急忙俯伏在地上敬拜, 说:“主啊,如果我在你面前蒙了恩,求你与我们同行。虽然百姓顽固不化,求你赦免我们的过犯和罪恶,接纳我们做你的子民。”

10 耶和华说:“我要与你立约,我要在你的同胞面前行奇事,是天下万国从未有过的奇事,你周围的外族人必看见我为你做的伟大而可畏的事。 11 你要遵行我今天的吩咐。我必从你面前驱逐亚摩利人、迦南人、赫人、比利洗人、希未人和耶布斯人。 12 你要谨慎,到了目的地后,不可与当地的居民立约,免得因此而陷入网罗。 13 相反,要拆掉他们的祭坛,打碎他们的神柱,砍掉他们的亚舍拉神像。 14 不可拜别的神明,因为耶和华是痛恨不贞的上帝,祂名为‘痛恨不贞’。

15 “不可与当地的居民立约,免得他们与自己的神明苟合时邀请你,你就吃他们的祭物, 16 给儿子娶他们的女儿为妻,以致她们与自己的神明苟合时诱使你的儿子犯同样的罪。

17 “不可为自己铸造神像。

18 “要守除酵节,照我的吩咐在亚笔月所定的时间吃七天的无酵饼,因为你是在亚笔月离开埃及的。

19 “凡是头胎生的儿子都属于我,包括牲畜中一切头胎生的公牛和公羊。 20 头胎生的驴要用羊赎回,如果不用羊赎回,就要打断它的脖子。凡头胎生的男婴,都要赎回他的性命。谁也不可空手来朝见我。

21 “一周工作六天,第七天要休息,就是耕种和收割时也要休息。

22 “在收割初熟麦子的时候,要守七七收割节,年底要守收藏节。 23 所有的男子都要一年三次来朝见主耶和华——以色列的上帝。 24 我要从你面前赶走外族人,扩张你的领土。你一年三次来朝见你的上帝耶和华时,必没有人贪恋你的土地。

25 “不可把祭牲的血和有酵的饼一起献给我。逾越节的祭物也不可留到第二天早晨。

26 “要把田中最好的初熟之物送到你们的上帝耶和华的殿中。

“不可用母山羊的奶煮它的小羊羔。”

27 耶和华又对摩西说:“你要把我说的这些话记录下来,因为我要按这些话跟你和以色列人立约。” 28 摩西在耶和华那里待了四十昼夜,没吃也没喝。耶和华把约的内容,就是十条诫命,写在石版上。

29 摩西手里拿着两块约版下西奈山,他不知道自己因为曾与耶和华说话而脸上发光。 30 亚伦和所有的以色列百姓看见摩西脸上发光,都不敢走近他。 31 摩西召他们过来,亚伦和会众的首领便上前来。摩西与他们说话。 32 之后,所有的以色列人都来到他面前,他就把耶和华在西奈山上的吩咐都告诉他们。 33 说完之后,他就用帕子遮住自己的脸。 34 每当进到会幕跟耶和华说话时,他就揭开帕子,出来后便把耶和华的吩咐告诉以色列百姓。 35 百姓会看到他脸上发光,于是他再用帕子遮住脸,直到下次与耶和华说话的时候才揭开。

New Stone Tablets

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Cut two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.(A) Be prepared by morning. Come up Mount Sinai in the morning and stand before Me on the mountaintop. No one may go up with you; in fact, no one must be seen anywhere on the mountain. Even the flocks and herds are not to graze in front of that mountain.”(B)

Moses cut two stone tablets like the first ones. He got up early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hand, he climbed Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had commanded him.

The Lord came down in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name Yahweh. Then the Lord passed in front of him and proclaimed:

Yahweh—Yahweh is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth,(C) maintaining faithful love to a thousand generations, forgiving wrongdoing, rebellion, and sin.(D) But He will not leave the guilty(E) unpunished, bringing the consequences of the fathers’ wrongdoing on the children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation.

Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped. Then he said, “My Lord, if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Even though this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wrongdoing and sin, and accept us as Your own possession.”(F)

Covenant Obligations

10 And the Lord responded: “Look, I am making a covenant. I will perform wonders in the presence of all your people[a] that have never been done[b] in all the earth or in any nation. All the people you live among will see the Lord’s work, for what I am doing with you is awe-inspiring.(G) 11 Observe what I command you today. I am going to drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites,[c] and Jebusites. 12 Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land that you are going to enter; otherwise, they will become a snare among you.(H) 13 Instead, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, and chop down their Asherah poles.(I) 14 You are never to bow down to another god because Yahweh, being jealous(J) by nature,[d] is a jealous God.

15 “Do not make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land, or else when they prostitute themselves with their gods and sacrifice to their gods, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.(K) 16 Then you will take some of their daughters as brides for your sons. Their daughters will prostitute themselves with their gods and cause your sons to prostitute themselves with their gods.(L)

17 “Do not make cast images(M) of gods for yourselves.

18 “Observe the Festival of Unleavened Bread. You are to eat unleavened bread for seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib[e] as I commanded you. For you came out of Egypt in the month of Abib.(N)

19 “The firstborn(O) male from every womb belongs to Me, including all your male[f][g] livestock, the firstborn of cattle or sheep. 20 You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a sheep, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.(P) You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one is to appear before Me empty-handed.

21 “You are to labor six days but you must rest(Q) on the seventh day; you must even rest during plowing and harvesting times.

22 “Observe the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering[h] at the turn of the agricultural year. 23 Three times a year(R) all your males are to appear before the Lord God, the God of Israel. 24 For I will drive out nations(S) before you and enlarge your territory.(T) No one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the Lord your God.

25 “Do not present[i] the blood for My sacrifice with anything leavened. The sacrifice of the Passover Festival must not remain until morning.(U)

26 “Bring the best firstfruits(V) of your land to the house of the Lord your God.

“You must not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

27 The Lord also said to Moses, “Write(W) down these words, for I have made a covenant with you and with Israel based on these words.”

28 Moses was there with the Lord 40 days and 40 nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. He wrote the Ten Commandments,(X) the words of the covenant, on the tablets.

Moses’ Radiant Face

29 As Moses descended from Mount Sinai—with the two tablets of the testimony in his hands as he descended the mountain—he did not realize that the skin of his face shone as a result of his speaking with the Lord.[j](Y) 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face shone!(Z) They were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called out to them, so Aaron and all the leaders of the community returned to him, and Moses spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he commanded them to do everything the Lord had told him on Mount Sinai. 33 When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. 34 But whenever Moses went before the Lord to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. After he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,(AA) 35 and the Israelites would see that Moses’ face[k] was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil over his face again until he went to speak with the Lord.

The New Stone Tablets

34 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones,(A) and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets,(B) which you broke.(C) Be ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount Sinai.(D) Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. No one is to come with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain;(E) not even the flocks and herds may graze in front of the mountain.”

So Moses chiseled(F) out two stone tablets like the first ones and went up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord had commanded him; and he carried the two stone tablets in his hands.(G) Then the Lord came down in the cloud(H) and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.(I) And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate(J) and gracious God, slow to anger,(K) abounding in love(L) and faithfulness,(M) maintaining love to thousands,(N) and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.(O) Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished;(P) he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.”(Q)

Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. “Lord,” he said, “if I have found favor(R) in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.(S) Although this is a stiff-necked(T) people, forgive our wickedness and our sin,(U) and take us as your inheritance.”(V)

10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant(W) with you. Before all your people I will do wonders(X) never before done in any nation in all the world.(Y) The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the Lord, will do for you. 11 Obey what I command(Z) you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.(AA) 12 Be careful not to make a treaty(AB) with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare(AC) among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a](AD) 14 Do not worship any other god,(AE) for the Lord, whose name(AF) is Jealous, is a jealous God.(AG)

15 “Be careful not to make a treaty(AH) with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute(AI) themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.(AJ) 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives(AK) for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods,(AL) they will lead your sons to do the same.

17 “Do not make any idols.(AM)

18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread.(AN) For seven days eat bread made without yeast,(AO) as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv,(AP) for in that month you came out of Egypt.

19 “The first offspring(AQ) of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.(AR) Redeem all your firstborn sons.(AS)

“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.(AT)

21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest;(AU) even during the plowing season and harvest(AV) you must rest.

22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits(AW) of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering(AX) at the turn of the year.[b] 23 Three times(AY) a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations(AZ) before you and enlarge your territory,(BA) and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.

25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast,(BB) and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.(BC)

26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits(BD) of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.

“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”(BE)

27 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write(BF) down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant(BG) with you and with Israel.” 28 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights(BH) without eating bread or drinking water.(BI) And he wrote on the tablets(BJ) the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.(BK)

The Radiant Face of Moses

29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai(BL) with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands,(BM) he was not aware that his face was radiant(BN) because he had spoken with the Lord. 30 When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him. 31 But Moses called to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the community(BO) came back to him, and he spoke to them. 32 Afterward all the Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the commands(BP) the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

33 When Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil(BQ) over his face. 34 But whenever he entered the Lord’s presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, 35 they saw that his face was radiant.(BR) Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord.
