Exodus 32: Douay-Rheims and Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
Douay-RheimsSeptuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587)
1And the people seeing that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, gathering together against Aaron, said: Arise, make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, the man that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what has befallen him.Καὶ ἰδὼν ὁ λαὸς, ὅτι κεχρόνικε Μωυσῆς καταβῆναι ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους, συνέστη ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ Ἀαρὼν, καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ἀνάστηθι, καὶ ποίησον ἡμῖν θεοὺς, οἳ προπορεύσονται ἡμῶν· ὁ γὰρ Μωυσῆς οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὃς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί γέγονεν αὐτῷ.
2And Aaron said to them: Take the golden earrings from the ears of your wives, and your sons and daughters, and bring them to me.Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς Ἀαρὼν Περιέλεσθε τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ χρυσᾶ τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶ τῶν γυναικῶν ὑμῶν καὶ θυγατέρων, καὶ ἐνέγκατε πρός με.
3And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron.Καὶ περιείλαντο πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ χρυσᾶ τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς Ἀαρών.
4And when he had received them, he fashioned them by founders’ work, and made of them a molten calf. And they said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.Καὶ ἐδέξατο ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔπλασεν αὐτὰ ἐν τῇ γραφίδι· καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὰ μόσχον χωνευτὸν καὶ εἶπεν, Οὗτοι οἱ θεοί σου Ἰσραὴλ, οἵτινες ἀνεβίβασάν σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
5And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier’s voice, saying: Tomorrow is the solemnity of the Lord.Καὶ ἰδὼν Ἀαρὼν ᾠκοδόμησε θυσιαστήριον κατέναντι αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐκήρυξεν Ἀαρὼν λέγων, ἑορτὴ τοῦ κυρίου αὔριον.
6And rising in the morning, they offered holocausts, and peace victims, and the people sat down to eat, and drink, and they rose up to play.Καὶ ὀρθρίσας τῇ ἐπαύριον ἀνεβίβασεν ὁλοκαυτώματα, καὶ προσήνεγκε θυσίαν σωτηρίου· καὶ ἐκάθισεν ὁ λαὸς φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν, καὶ ἀνέστησαν παίζειν.
7And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Go, get thee down: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, hath sinned.Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων, βάδιζε τὸ τάχος, κατάβηθι ἐντεύθεν· ἠνόμησε γὰρ ὁ λαός σου ὃν ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
8They have quickly strayed from the way which thou didst shew them: and they have made to themselves a molten calf, and have adored it, and sacrificing victims to it, have said: These are thy gods, O Israel, that have brought thee out of the land of Egypt.Παρέβησαν ταχὺ ἐκ τῆς ὁδοῦ, ἧς ἐνετείλω αὐτοῖς· ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς μόσχον, καὶ προσκεκυνήκασιν αὐτῷ, καὶ τεθύκασιν αὐτῷ, καὶ εἶπαν, Οὗτοι οἱ θεοί σου Ἰσραὴλ, οἵτινες ἀνεβίβασάν σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
9And again the Lord said to Moses: See that this people is stiffnecked:—
10Let me alone, that my wrath may be kindled against them, and that I may destroy them, and I will make of thee a great nation.καὶ νῦν ἔασόν με, καὶ θυμωθεὶς ὀργῇ εἰς αὐτοὺς, ἐκτρίψω αὐτούς· καὶ ποιήσω σὲ εἰς ἔθνος μέγα.
11But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation kindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?καὶ ἐδεήθη Μωυσῆς ἔναντι Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἱνατί, Κύριε, θυμοῖ ὀργῇ εἰς τὸν λαόν σου, οὓς ἐξήγαγες ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐν ἰσχύϊ μεγάλῃ, καὶ ἐν τῷ βραχίονί σου τῷ ὑψηλῷ;
12Let not the Egyptians say, I beseech thee: He craftily brought them out, that he might kill them in the mountains, and destroy them from the earth: let thy anger cease, and be appeased upon the wickedness of thy people.Μή ποτε εἴπωσιν οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι λέγοντες Μετὰ πονηρίας ἐξήγαγεν αὐτοὺς ἀποκτεῖναι ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν καὶ ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς. παῦσαι τῆς ὀργῆς τοῦ θυμοῦ σου, καὶ ἵλεως γενοῦ ἐπὶ τῇ κακίᾳ τοῦ λαοῦ σου,
13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou sworest by thy own self, saying: I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven: and this whole land that I have spoken of, I will give to you seed, and you shall possess it for ever.μνησθεὶς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ τῶν σῶν οἰκετῶν, οἷς ὤμοσας κατὰ σεαυτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλησας πρὸς αὐτοὺς, λέγων, πολυπληθυνῶ τὸ σπέρμα ὑμῶν ὡσεὶ τὰ ἄστρα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ τῷ πλήθει· καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ταύτην ἣν εἶπας δοῦναι αὐτοῖς, καὶ καθέξουσιν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
14And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.Καὶ ἱλάσθη Κύριος περιποιῆσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ.
15And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,Καὶ ἀποστρέψας Μωυσῆς, κατέβη ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους· καὶ αἱ δύο πλάκες τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ, πλάκες λίθιναι καταγεγραμμέναι ἐξ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν μερῶν αὐτῶν, ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν ἦσανς γεγραμμέναι·
16And made by the work of God: the writing also of God was graven in the tables.καὶ αἱ πλάκες ἔργον Θεοῦ ἦσαν, καὶ ἡ γραφὴ γραφὴ Θεοῦ κεκολαμμένη ἐν ταῖς πλαξί.
17And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.καὶ ἀκούσας Ἰησοῦς τῆς φωνῆς τοῦ λαοῦ κραζόντων, λέγει πρὸς Μωυσὴν, Φωνὴ πολέμου ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ.
18But he answered: It is not the cry of men encouraging to fight, nor the shout of men compelling to flee: but I hear the voice of singers.καὶ λέγει Οὐκ ἔστι φωνὴ ἐξαρχόντων κατʼ ἰσχὺν, οὐδὲ φωνὴ ἐξαρχόντων τροπῆς, ἀλλὰ φωνὴν ἐξαρχόντων οἴνου ἐγὼ ἀκούω.
19And when he came nigh to the camp, he saw the calf, and the dances: and being very angry, he threw the tables out of his hand, and broke them at the foot of the mount:καὶ ἡνίκα ἤγγιζε τῇ παρεμβολῇ, ὁρᾷ τὸν μόσχον καὶ τοὺς χορούς· καὶ ὀργισθεὶς θυμῷ Μωυσῆς ἔῤῥιψεν ἀπὸ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ τὰς δύο πλάκας, καὶ συνέτριψεν αὐτὰς ὑπὸ τὸ ὄρος·
20And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and beat it to powder, which he strowed into water, and gave thereof to the children of Israel to drink.καὶ λαβὼν τὸν μόσχον ὃν ἐποίησαν, κατέκαυσεν αὐτὸν ἐν πυρὶ, καὶ κατήλεσεν αὐτὸν λεπτὸν, καὶ ἔσπειρεν αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτὸ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ.
21And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς τῷ Ἀαρὼν, Τί ἐποίησέ σοι ὁ λαὸς οὗτος, ὅτι ἐπήγαγες ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην;
22And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.καὶ εἶπεν Ἀαρὼν πρὸς Μωυσῆν, μὴ ὀργίζου, κύριε· σὺ γὰρ οἶδας τὸ ὅρμημα τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου.
23They said to me: Make us gods, that may go before us: for as to this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is befallen him.Λέγουσι γάρ μοι, ποιήσον ἡμῖν θεοὺς, οἳ προπορεύσονται ἡμῶν· ὁ γὰρ Μωυσῆς οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, οὐκ οἴδαμεν τί γέγονεν αὐτῷ.
24And I said to them: Which of you hath any gold? and they took and brought it to me: and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.καὶ εἶπα αὐτοῖς, εἴ τινι ὑπάρχει χρυσία, περιέλεσθε· καὶ ἔδωκάν μοι· καὶ ἔῤῥιψα εἰς τὸ πῦρ· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ μόσχος οὗτος.
25And when Moses saw that the people were naked, (for Aaron had stripped them by occasion of the shame of the filth, and had set them naked among their enemies,)Καὶ ἰδὼν Μωυσῆς τὸν λαὸν ὅτι διεσκέδασται· (διεσκέδασε γὰρ αὐτοὺς Ἀαρών ἐπίχαρμα τοῖς ὑπεναντίοις αὐτῶν)
26Then standing in the gate of the camp, he said: If any man be on the Lord’s side let him join with me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him:ἔστη δὲ Μωυσῆς ἑπὶ τῆς πύλης τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καὶ εἶπε, τίς πρὸς Κύριον; ἴτω πρός με. Συνῆλθον οὖν πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ Λευί.
27And he said to them: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Put every man his sword upon his thigh: go, and return from gate to gate through the midst of the camp, and let every man kill his brother, and friend, and neighbour.Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ θέσθε ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ῥομφαίανν ἐπὶ τὸν μηρὸν, καὶ διέλθατε καὶ ἀνακάμψατε ἀπὸ πύλης ἐπὶ πύλην διὰ τῆς παρεμβολῆς, καὶ ἀποκτείνατε ἕκαστος τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστος τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἓκαστος τὸν ἔγγιστα αὐτοῦ.
28And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.Καὶ ἐποίησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Λευεὶ καθὰ ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς· καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ εἰς τρισχιλίους ἄνδρας.
29And Moses said: You have consecrated your hands this day to the Lord, every man in his son and in his brother, that a blessing may be given to you.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς, ἐπληρώσατε τὰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν σήμερον Κυρίῳ ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ υἱῷ ἢ ἐν τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ, δοθῆναι ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς εὐλογίαν.
30And when the next day was come, Moses spoke to the people: You have sinned a very great sin: I will go up to the Lord, if by any means I may be able to entreat him for your crime.Καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὴν αὔριον εἶπε Μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν, ὑμεῖς ἡμαρτήκατε ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλη· καὶ νῦν ἀναβήσομαι πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν, ἵνα ἐξιλάσωμαι περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὑμῶν.
31And returning to the Lord, he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sin, and they have made to themselves gods of gold: either forgive them this trespass,Ὑπέστρεψε δὲ Μωυσῆς πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ εἶπε, δέομαι, κύριε· ἡμάρτηκεν ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ἁμαρτίαν μεγάλην, καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς θεοὺς χρυσοῦς.
32Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.Καὶ νῦν εἰ μὲν ἀφεῖς αὐτοῖς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῶν, ἄφες· εἰ δὲ μή, ἐξάλειψόν με ἐκ τῆς βίβλου σου, ἧς ἔγραψας.
33And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book:Καὶ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, εἴ τις ἡμάρτηκεν ἐνώπιόν μου, ἐξαλείψω αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς βίβλου μου.
34But go thou, and lead this people whither I have told thee: my angel shall go before thee. And I in the day of revenge will visit this sin also of theirs.Νυνὶ δὲ βάδιζε, κατάβηθι, καὶ ὁδήγησον τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον εἰς τὸν τόπον, ὃν εἶπά σοι· ἰδοὺ ὁ ἄγγελός μου προπορεύσεται πρὸ προσώπου σου· ᾖ δʼ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ ἐπισκέπτωμαι, ἐπάξω ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῶν
35The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.Καὶ ἐπάταξε Κύριος τὸν λαὸν περὶ τῆς ποιήσεως τοῦ μόσχου, οὗ ἐποίησεν Ἀαρών.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
