4 — Exodus

1Moses answered, and said: They will not believe me, nor hear my voice, but they will say: The Lord hath not appeared to thee.Rispose Mosè, e disse: Ei non crederanno a me, e non ascolteranno la mia voce, ma diranno: il Signore non ti è apparito.MOYSES answering said: They wil not beleue me, nor heare my voice, but they wil say: Our Lord hath not appeared to thee.Respondens Moyses ait: Non credent mihi, neque audient vocem meam, sed dicent: Non apparuit tibi Dominus. 2Then he said to him: What is that thou holdest in thy hand? He answered: A rod.E quegli disse a lui: Che è quello, che tu hai in mano? Rispose: Un bastone.Therfore he sayd to him: What is that thou holdest in thy hand? He answered: A rodde.Dixit ergo ad eum: Quid est quod tenes in manu tua ? Respondit: Virga. 3And the Lord said: Cast it down upon the ground. He cast it down, and it was turned into a serpent, so that Moses fled from it.E disse il Signore: Gettalo per terra. Lo gettò, e cangiossi in serpente, tal che Mosè si fuggì.And our Lord sayd: Cast it vpon the ground. He did cast it, and it was turned into a serpent, so that Moyses fled.Dixitque Dominus: Projice eam in terram. Projecit, et versa est in colubrum, ita ut fugeret Moyses. 4And the Lord said: Put out thy hand, and take it by the tail. He put forth his hand, and took hold of it, and it was turned into a rod.E disse il Signore: Stendi la tua mano, e prendilo per la coda. Stese la mano, e lo prese, e ritornò un bastone.And our Lord sayd: Sretch thy hand, and catch the tayle therof. He stretched it forth, & tooke hold of it, and it was turned into a rodde.Dixitque Dominus: Extende manum tuam, et apprehende caudam ejus. Extendit, et tenuit, versaque est in virgam. 5That they may believe, saith he, that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared to thee.Affinché credano, disse, che è apparito a te il Signore Dio dei padri loro, il Dio di Abramo, il Dio d'Isacco, e il Dio di Giacobbe.That they may beleue, quoth he, that the Lord God of their fathers hath appeared to thee, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, & the God of Iacob.Ut credant, inquit, quod apparuerit tibi Dominus Deus patrum suorum, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac et Deus Jacob. 6And the Lord said again: Put thy hand into thy bosom. And when he had put it into his bosom, he brought it forth leprous as snow.E il Signore disse di nuovo: Mettiti in seno la tua mano. E messa ch'ei l'ebbe in seno, la cavò fuora coperta di lebbra bianca come neve.And our Lord sayd agayne: Put thy hand into thy bosome. Which when he had put into his bosome, he brought it forth ful of leprosie like snow.Dixitque Dominus rursum: Mitte manum tuam in sinum tuum. Quam cum misisset in sinum, protulit leprosam instar nivis.

7And he said: Put back thy hand into thy bosom. He put it back, and brought it out again, and it was like the other flesh.Rimettiti, disse (Dio), la mano in seno. La rimise, e la cavò fuori di nuovo, ed era come l'altra carne.Draw backe, quoth he, thy hand into thy bosome. He drew it backe, and brought it forth agayne, & it was like the other flesh.Retrahe, ait, manum tuam in sinum tuum. Retraxit, et protulit iterum, et erat similis carni reliquæ. 8If they will not believe thee, saith he, nor hear the voice of the former sign, they will believe the word of the latter sign.S'ei non crederanno, disse, a te, e non capiranno il linguaggio del primo prodigio, si arrenderanno a quello del prodigio seguente.If they wil not beleue thee, quoth he, nor heare the word of the former signe, they wil beleue the word of the signe folowing.Si non crediderint, inquit, tibi, neque audierint sermonem signi prioris, credent verbo signi sequentis. 9But if they will not even believe these two signs, nor hear thy voice: take of the river water, and pour it out upon the dry land, and whatsoever thou drawest out of the river, shall be turned into blood.Che se a nissun dei due prodigi crederanno, e non ascolteranno la tua voce, prendi dell'acqua del fiume, e versala per terra, e quanto ne avrai attinta dal fiume, si convertirà in sangue.And if so be they wil beleue neither of these two signes, nor heare thy voice: take water of the riuer, & powre it out vpon the drie land, and whatsoeuer thou drawest of the riuer, shal be turned into bloud.Quod si nec duobus quidem his signis crediderint, neque audierint vocem tuam: sume aquam fluminis, et effunde eam super aridam, et quidquid hauseris de fluvio, vertetur in sanguinem. 10Moses said: I beseech thee, Lord, I am not eloquent from yesterday and the day before; and since thou hast spoken to thy servant, I have more impediment and slowness of tongue.Disse Mosè: Perdona, o Signore, io non era uomo facondo per lo passato: anche dopo che tu hai parlato al tuo servo, io son tardo di lingua, e balbuziente.Moyses sayd: I beseech thee, Lord, I am not eloquent from yesterday and the day before: and since thou hast spoken to thy seruant, I haue more impediment & slownes of tongue.Ait Moyses: Obsecro, Domine, non sum eloquens ab heri et nudiustertius: et ex quo locutus es ad servum tuum, impeditioris et tardioris linguæ sum. 11The Lord said to him: Who made man’s mouth? or who made the dumb and the deaf, the seeing and the blind? did not I?Disse a lui il Signore: Chi ha fatto la bocca dell'uomo? e chi ha formato il mutolo, e il sordo, il veggente, e il cieco? non son io quegli?Our Lord sayd to him: Who made the mouth of man? or who framed the dumme and deafe, the seeing and the blinde? did not I?Dixit Dominus ad eum: Quis fecit os hominis ? aut quis fabricatus est mutum et surdum, videntem et cæcum ? nonne ego ?

12Go therefore, and I will be in thy mouth; and I will teach thee what thou shalt speak.Va' adunque, e io sarò nella tua bocca, e ti insegnerò quello che dovrai dire.Goe on therfore, and I wil be in thy mouth: & wil teach thee what thou shalt speake.Perge, igitur, et ego ero in ore tuo: doceboque te quid loquaris. 13But he said: I beseech thee, Lord, send whom thou wilt send.Ma quegli disse: Di grazia, Signore, manda colui, che tu sei per mandare.But he sayd: I besech thee, Lord, send whom thou wilt send.At ille: Obsecro, inquit, Domine, mitte quem missurus es. 14The Lord being angry at Moses, said: Aaron the Levite is thy brother, I know that he is eloquent: behold he cometh forth to meet thee, and seeing thee, shall be glad at heart.Si crucciò il Signore contro Mosè, e disse: Aronne tuo fratello figliuolo di Levi, so, che è eloquente: ecco che egli viene a incontrarti, e rallegrerassi di cuore in vedendoti.Our Lord being angrie at Moyses, sayd: Aaron thy brother the leuite, I know that he is eloquēt: behold he cometh forth to meete thee, & seeing thee shal be glad at the hart.Iratus Dominus in Moysen, ait: Aaron frater tuus Levites, scio quod eloquens sit: ecce ipse egreditur in occursum tuum, vidensque te lætabitur corde. 15Speak to him, and put my words in his mouth: and I will be in thy mouth, and in his mouth, and will shew you what you must do.Parla a lui, e metti in bocca a lui le mie parole: e io sarò nella tua bocca, e nella bocca di lui, e mostrerò a voi quello che abbiate, a fare.Speake to him, and put my wordes in his mouth: & I wil be in thy mouth, and in his mouth, and wil shew you what yee must doe.Loquere ad eum, et pone verba mea in ore ejus: et ego ero in ore tuo, et in ore illius, et ostendam vobis quid agere debeatis. 16He shall speak in thy stead to the people, and shall be thy mouth: but thou shalt be to him in those things that pertain to God.Egli parlerà in vece tua al popolo, e sarà la tua bocca: tu poi lo governerai in quelle cose, che a Dio appartengono.He shal speake in thy steed to the people, and shal be thy mouth: but thou shalt be to him in those thinges that perteine to God.Ipse loquetur pro te ad populum, et erit os tuum: tu autem eris ei in his quæ ad Deum pertinent. 17And take this rod in thy hand, wherewith thou shalt do the signs.Prendi anche in mano questa verga, colla quale opererai prodigi.This rodde also take in thy hand, wherwith thou shalt doe the signes.Virgam quoque hanc sume in manu tua, in qua facturus es signa. 18Moses went his way, and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said to him; I will go and return to my brethren into Egypt, that I may see if they be yet alive. And Jethro said to him: Go in peace.Mosè se n'andò, e tornò al suo suocero Jetro, e gli disse: Io me ne andrò per tornare a' miei fratelli in Egitto, e vedere, se sono ancor vivi. Jetro gli disse: Va' in pace.Moyses went his way, & returned to Iethro his father in law, and sayd to him: I wil goe and returne to my brethren into Aegypt, that I may see if they be yet aliue. To whom Iethro sayd: Goe in peace:Abiit Moyses, et reversus est ad Jethro socerum suum, dixitque ei: Vadam et revertar ad fratres meos in Ægyptum, ut videam si adhuc vivant. Cui ait Jethro: Vade in pace.

19And the Lord said to Moses, in Madian: Go, and return into Egypt; for they are all dead that sought thy life.E il Signore disse a Mosè in Madian: Va', e torna in Egitto: perocché son morti tutti quelli che volevano la tua morte.Therfore our Lord sayd to Moyses in Madian: Goe, and returne into Aegypt: for they are al dead that sought thy life.Dixit ergo Dominus ad Moysen in Madian: Vade, et revertere in Ægyptum, mortui sunt enim omnes qui quærebant animam tuam. 20Moses therefore took his wife, and his sons, and set them upon an ass; and returned into Egypt, carrying the rod of God in his hand.Prese adunque Mosè la sua moglie, e i suoi figliuoli, e li pose sopra un asino, e se ne tornò in Egitto, portando in mano la verga di Dio.Moyses therfore tooke his wife, & his children, and set them vpon an asse: and returned into Aegypt, carying the rodde of God in his hand.Tulit ergo Moyses uxorem suam, et filios suos, et imposuit eos super asinum: reversusque est in Ægyptum, portans virgam Dei in manu sua. 21And the Lord said to him as he was returning into Egypt: See that thou do all the wonders before Pharao, which I have put in thy hand: I shall harden his heart, and he will not let the people go.E il Signore disse a lui mentre se ne tornava in Egitto: bada di fare tutti i prodigi, che io ho posti nelle tue mani, al cospetto di Faraone: io indurerò il cuore di lui, ed ei non lascerà partire il popolo.And our Lord said to him returning into Aegypt: See that thou doe al the wonders, which I haue put in thy hand, before Pharao: I wil indurate his hart, and he wil not dismisse the people.Dixitque ei Dominus revertenti in Ægyptum: Vide ut omnia ostenta quæ posui in manu tua, facias coram Pharaone: ego indurabo cor ejus, et non dimittet populum. 22And thou shalt say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Israel is my son, my firstborn.E tu gli dirai: Queste cose dice il Signore: Israele è il figliuol mio primogenito:And thou shalt say to him: This sayth the Lord: My first begotten sonne is Israel.Dicesque ad eum: Hæc dicit Dominus: Filius meus primogenitus Israël. 23I have said to thee: Let my son go, that he may serve me, and thou wouldst not let him go: behold I will kill thy son, thy firstborn.Io ti ho detto: Lascia andare il mio figliuolo, affinché mi serva; e non hai voluto lasciarlo partire: ecco che io darò morte al tuo figliuolo primogenito.I sayd to thee: dismisse my sonne that he may serue me, & thou wouldest not dismisse him: behold I wil kil thy first-begotten-sonne.Dixi tibi: Dimitte filium meum ut serviat mihi; et noluisti dimittere eum: ecce ego interficiam filium tuum primogenitum. 24And when he was in his journey, in the inn, the Lord met him, and would have killed him.E mentre egli era per viaggio in un albergo, il Signore si presentò a lui, e volea farlo morire.And when he was in his iourney, in the Inne, our Lord mette him, and would haue killed him.Cumque esset in itinere, in diversorio occurrit ei Dominus, et volebat occidere eum.

25Immediately Sephora took a very sharp stone, and circumcised the foreskin of her son, and touched his feet, and said: A bloody spouse art thou to me.Prese tosto Sephora una pietra molto affilata, e circoncise il suo figliuolo, e toccò i piedi di lui, e disse: Sposo di sangue sei tu per me.Sephora by & by tooke a very sharp stone, and circuncided the prepuce of her sonne, & touched his feete, and sayd: A blouddie spouse thou art to me.Tulit idcirco Sephora acutissimam petram, et circumcidit præputium filii sui, tetigitque pedes ejus, et ait: Sponsus sanguinum tu mihi es. 26And he let him go after she had said: A bloody spouse art thou to me, because of the circumcision.E quegli lo lasciò stare dopo che ella ebbe detto: Sposo di sangue a motivo della fatta circoncisione.And he let him goe after she had said, A blouddie spouse thou art to me, because of the circumcision.Et dimisit eum postquam dixerat: Sponsus sanguinum ob circumcisionem. 27And the Lord said to Aaron: Go into the desert to meet Moses. And he went forth to meet him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.E il Signore disse ad Aronne: Va' nel deserto incontro a Mosè. Andogli incontro fino al monte di Dio, e baciollo.And our Lord said to Aaron: Goe to Moyses into the desert. Who went forth to mete him vnto the Mountaine of God, and kissed him.Dixit autem Dominus ad Aaron: Vade in occursum Moysi in desertum. Qui perrexit obviam ei in montem Dei, et osculatus est eum. 28And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord, by which he had sent him, and the signs that he had commanded.E Mosè raccontò ad Aronne tutte le cose, per le quali il Signore lo avea mandato, e i prodigi, che gli avea ordinato di fare.And Moyses told Aaron al the wordes of our Lord, by which he had sent him, & the signes that he had commanded.Narravitque Moyses Aaron omnia verba Domini quibus miserat eum, et signa quæ mandaverat. 29And they came together, and they assembled all the ancients of the children of Israel.E andarono insieme a raunare tutti i seniori de' figliuoli d'Israele.And they came together, and gathered together al the ancientes of the children of Israel.Veneruntque simul, et congregaverunt cunctos seniores filiorum Israël. 30And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had said to Moses: and he wrought the signs before the people.E Aronne ripetè tutte le parole dette dal Signore a Mosè: e questi fece i miracoli in presenza del popolo.And Aaron spake al the wordes which our Lord had said to Moyses: and he wrought the signes before the people,Locutusque est Aaron omnia verba quæ dixerat Dominus ad Moysen: et fecit signa coram populo,

31And the people believed. And they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction: and falling down they adored.E il popolo credette: e intesero, come il Signore visitava i figliuoli d'Israele, e avea mirata la loro afflizione; e prostratisi lo adorarono.and the people beleued. And they heard that our Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked vpon their affliction: & they adored prostrate.et credidit populus. Audieruntque quod visitasset Dominus filios Israël, et respexisset afflictionem illorum: et proni adoraverunt.
