| 1 | And he said to Moses: Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel, and you shall adore afar off. | Moysi quoque dixit: Ascende ad Dominum tu, et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, et septuaginta senes ex Israël, et adorabitis procul. |
| 2 | And Moses alone shall come up to the Lord, but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people come up with him. | Solusque Moyses ascendet ad Dominum, et illi non appropinquabunt: nec populus ascendet cum eo. |
| 3 | So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: We will do all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken. | Venit ergo Moyses et narravit plebi omnia verba Domini, atque iudicia: responditque omnis populus una voce: Omnia verba Domini, quae locutus est, faciemus. |
| 4 | And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord: and rising in the morning he built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve titles according to the twelve tribes of Israel. | Scripsit autem Moyses universos sermones Domini: et mane consurgens, aedificavit altare ad radices montis, et duodecim titulos per duodecim tribus Israël. |
| 5 | And he sent young men of the children of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and sacrificed pacific victims of calves to the Lord. | Misitque iuvenes de filiis Israël, et obtulerunt holocausta, immolaveruntque victimas pacificas Domino, vitulos. |
| 6 | Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls: and the rest he poured upon the altar. | Tulit itaque Moyses dimidiam partem sanguinis, et misit in crateras: partem autem residuam fudit super altare. |
| 7 | And taking the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people: and they said: All things that the Lord hath spoken we will do, we will be obedient. | Assumensque volumen foederis, legit audiente populo: qui dixerunt: Omnia quae locutus est Dominus, faciemus, et erimus obedientes. |
| 8 | And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he said: This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words. | Ille vero sumptum sanguinem respersit in populum, et ait: Hic est sanguis foederis quod pepigit Dominus vobiscum super cunctis sermonibus his. |
| 9 | Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel went up: | Ascenderuntque Moyses et Aaron, Nadab et Abiu, et septuaginta de senioribus Israël: |
| 10 | And they saw the God of Israel: and under his feet as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as the heaven, when clear. | et viderunt Deum Israël: et sub pedibus eius quasi opus lapidis sapphirini, et quasi caelum, cum serenum est. |
| 11 | Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the children of Israel, that retired afar off, and they saw God, and they did eat and drink. | Nec super eos qui procul recesserant de filiis Israël, misit manum suam, videruntque Deum, et comederunt, ac biberunt. |
| 12 | And the Lord said to Moses: Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandments which I have written: that thou mayst teach them. | Dixit autem Dominus ad Moysen: Ascende ad me in montem, et esto ibi: daboque tibi tabulas lapideas, et legem, ac mandata quae scripsi: ut doceas eos. |
| 13 | Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into the mount of God, | Surrexerunt Moyses et Iosue minister eius: ascendensque Moyses in montem Dei, |
| 14 | Said to the ancients: Wait ye here till we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you: if any question shall arise, you shall refer it to them. | senioribus ait: Expectate hic donec revertamur ad vos. Habetis Aaron et Hur vobiscum: si quid natum fuerit quaestionis, referetis ad eos. |
| 15 | And when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount. | Cumque ascendisset Moyses, operuit nubes montem, |
| 16 | And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud six days: and the seventh day he called him out of the midst of the cloud. | et habitavit gloria Domini super Sinai, tegens illum nube sex diebus: septimo autem die vocavit eum de medio caliginis. |
| 17 | And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire upon the top of the mount, in the eyes of the children of Israel. | Erat autem species gloriae Domini quasi ignis ardens super verticem montis in conspectu filiorum Israël. |
| 18 | And Moses, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights. | Ingressusque Moyses medium nebulae, ascendit in montem: et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus. |
