32 — Esodo

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.Ma veggendo il popolo, come Mosè tardava a scendere dal monte, sollevatosi contro Aronne, disse: Levati su, fa' a noi degli dei, che ci vadano innanzi: imperocché quello che sia stato di quel Mosè, che ci trasse dalla terra d'Egitto, noi nol sappiamo.AND the people seeing that Moyses made tariance ere he came downe from the mount, being assembled against Aaron, they sayd: Arise, make vs goddes, that may goe before vs: for what hath chanced to this Moyses the man that brought vs out of the Land of Aegypt, we know not.Videns autem populus quod moram faceret descendendi de monte Moyses, congregatus adversus Aaron, dixit: Surge, fac nobis deos, qui nos præcedant: Moysi enim huic viro, qui nos eduxit de terra Ægypti, ignoramus quid acciderit. 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.E Aronne disse loro: Prendete gli orecchini d'oro delle vostre mogli, e de' figliuoli, e delle figlie, e portategli a me.And Aaron sayd to them: Take the golden earlettes from the eares of your wiues, and sonnes and daughters, & bring them to me.Dixitque ad eos Aaron: Tollite inaures aureas de uxorum, filiorumque et filiarum vestrarum auribus, et afferte ad me. 3And the people did what he had commanded, bringing the earrings to Aaron.E il popolo fece quel che egli avea comandato, e portò gli orecchini ad Aronne.And the people did that he had cōmanded, bringing the earlettes to Aaron.Fecitque populus quæ jusserat, deferens inaures ad Aaron. 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.Ed egli avendoli presi li fece fondere, e ne formò un vitel d'oro di getto: e quelli dissero: Questi, o Israele, sono i tuoi dei, che ti han tratto dalla, terra d'Egitto.Which when he had receiued, he formed them by founders worke, and made of them a molten calfe. And they sayd: These are thy goddes Israel, that haue brought thee out of the land of Aegypt.Quas cum ille accepisset, formavit opere fusorio, et fecit ex eis vitulum conflatilem: dixeruntque: Hi sunt dii tui Israël, qui te eduxerunt de terra Ægypti.

5And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it, and made proclamation by a crier’s voice, saying To morrow is the solemnity of the Lord.Lo che avendo veduto Aronne, alzò un altare dinanzi al vitello, e fece che la voce del banditore intimasse: Domane è la festa grande del Signore.Which when Aaron had senne, he builded an altar before it, and by a cryers voice proclaimed saying: Tomorow is the solemnitie of the Lord.Quod cum vidisset Aaron, ædificavit altare coram eo, et præconis voce clamavit dicens: Cras solemnitas Domini est. 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.E levatisi la mattina offersero olocausti e ostie pacifiche, ed il popolo si adagiò a mangiare e bere, e si alzarono a trescare.And rysing in the morning, they offered holocaustes, and pacifique hostes, and the people sate downe to eate, and to drinke, and they role vp to play.Surgentesque mane, obtulerunt holocausta, et hostias pacificas, et sedit populus manducare, et bibere, et surrexerunt ludere. 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.E il Signore parlò a Mosè, e disse: Va', scendi: il popol tuo, cui tu cavasti dalla terra d'Egitto, ha peccato.And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying: Goe, get thee downe: thy people, which thou hast brought out of the Land of Aegypt, hath sinned.Locutus est autem Dominus ad Moysen, dicens: Vade, descende: peccavit populus tuus, quem eduxisti de terra Ægypti. 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.Sono presto usciti fuori della strada, che tu ad essi insegnasti, e si sono fatto un vitello di getto, e lo hanno adorato, e immolando ad esso le ostie, hanno detto: Questi, o Israele, sono i tuoi dei, che ti trassero dalla terra d'Egitto.They haue quickly reuolted from the way, that thou didst shew them: and they haue made to them selues a molten calfe, and haue adored, and immolating hostes vnto it, haue sayd: These are thy goddes Israel, that haue brought thee out of the Land of AegyptRecesserunt cito de via, quam ostendisti eis: feceruntque sibi vitulum conflatilem, et adoraverunt, atque immolantes ei hostias, dixerunt: Isti sunt dii tui Israël, qui te eduxerunt de terra Ægypti.

9And again the Lord said to Moses: I see that this people is stiffnecked:E soggiunse il Signore a Mosè: Io veggo, che questo popolo è di dura cervice.And againe our Lord said to Moyses: I see that this people is stiffenecked:Rursumque ait Dominus ad Moysen: Cerno quod populus iste duræ cervicis sit: 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.Lasciami fare, che io sfoghi il mio furore contro di loro, e gli stermini, e io ti farò capo di una nazione grande.suffer me, that my furie may be angrie against them, and that I may destroy them, and I wil make thee into a great nation.dimitte me, ut irascatur furor meus contra eos, et deleam eos, faciamque te in gentem magnam. 11But Moses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why, O Lord, is thy indignation enkindled against thy people, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, with great power, and with a mighty hand?Ma Mosè supplicava il Signore Dio suo, dicendo: Perché, o Signore, s'accende il furor tuo contro il tuo popolo, cui tu cavasti dalla terra d'Egitto con fortezza grande, e con mano possente?But Moyses besought the Lord his God, saying: Why Lord, is thy furie angrie against thy people, whom thou hast brought forth of the Land of Aegypt, in great power, and in a strong hand?Moyses autem orabat Dominum Deum suum, dicens: Cur, Domine, irascitur furor tuus contra populum tuum, quem eduxisti de terra Ægypti, in fortitudine magna, et in manu robusta ? 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.Di grazia, che non abbiano a dire gli Egiziani: Con astuzia li menò fuori per ucciderli sulle montagne, e sterminarli dal mondo: si calmi il tuo sdegno, e perdona l'iniquità dei tuo popolo.Let not the Aegyptians say I beseech thee: He hath craftely brought them forth, that he might kil them in the mountaynes, and destroy them from the earth: let thyne anger cease, and be pacified vpon the wickednes of thy people.Ne quæso dicant Ægyptii: Callide eduxit eos, ut interficeret in montibus, et deleret e terra: quiescat ira tua, et esto placabilis super nequitia populi tui. 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 your seed, and you shall possess it for ever:Ricordati di Abramo, d'Isacco, e d'Israele, tuoi servi, a' quali promettesti con giuramento, dicendo: Moltiplicherò la stirpe vostra come le stelle del cielo: e tutta questa terra, della quale ho parlato, la darò alla stirpe vostra, e la possederete in perpetuo.Remenber Abraham, Isaac, and Israel thy seruantes, to whom thou swarest by thine owne self, saying: I wil multiplie your seed as the starres of heauen: and this whole land, wherof I haue spoken, I wil giue to your seed, and you shal possesse it alwayes.Recordare Abraham, Isaac, et Israël servorum tuorum, quibus jurasti per temetipsum, dicens: Multiplicabo semen vestrum sicut stellas cæli; et universam terram hanc, de qua locutus sum, dabo semini vestro, et possidebitis eam semper.

14And the Lord was appeased from doing the evil which he had spoken against his people.E il Signore si placò, e non fece al popol suo quel male, che avea detto.And our Lord was pacified from doing the euil which he had spoken against his people.Placatusque est Dominus ne faceret malum quod locutus fuerat adversus populum suum. 15And Moses returned from the mount, carrying the two tables of the testimony in his hand, written on both sides,E Mosè scese dal monte portando in mano le due tavole della legge scritte dall'una parte, e dall'altra,And Moyses returned from the mount, carying the two tables of testimonie in his hand, written on both sides,Et reversus est Moyses de monte, portans duas tabulas testimonii in manu sua, scriptas ex utraque parte, 16And made by the work of God; the writing also of God was graven in the tables.E fatte di mano di Dio: la scrittura parimente impressa nelle tavole era di Dio.and made by the worke of God: the writing also of God was grauen in the tables.et factas opere Dei: scriptura quoque Dei erat sculpta in tabulis. 17And Josue hearing the noise of the people shouting, said to Moses: The noise of battle is heard in the camp.Ma udendo Giosuè un tumulto e frastuono del popolo, disse a Mosè: Si sente negli alloggiamenti romor di battaglia.And Iosue hearing the tumult of the people crying out, said to Moyses: The noyse of battaile is heard in the campe.Audiens autem Josue tumultum populi vociferantis, dixit ad Moysen: Ululatus pugnæ auditur in castris. 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.Rispose quegli: Non son grida di gente, che esorti a combattere, né clamori di gente, che sforzi altrui a fuggire; ma le voci, che io sento, son voci di gente, che canta.Who answered: It is not the crie of men encouraging of fight, nor the shoute of men compelling to flee: but I doe heare the voice of singers.Qui respondit: Non est clamor adhortantium ad pugnam, neque vociferatio compellentium ad fugam: sed vocem cantantium ego audio. 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:E allorché fu vicino agli alloggiamenti, vide il vitello, e le danze: e sdegnato altamente gettò dalle mani le tavole, e le spezzò alle falde del monte:And when he approched to the campe, he saw the calfe, and the daunces: and being very wrath, he threw the tables out of his hand, and brake them at the foote of the mount.Cumque appropinquasset ad castra, vidit vitulum, et choros: iratusque valde, projecit de manu tabulas, et confregit eas ad radicem montis:

20And laying hold of the calf which they had made, he burnt it, and beat it to powder, which he strewed into water, and gave thereof to the children of Israel to drink.E preso il vitello, che quegli avean fatto, lo gettò nel fuoco, e lo ridusse in polvere; e sparsa questa nell'acqua la diede a bere a' figliuoli d'Israele.and catching the calfe which they had made, he burnt it, and bette it into powder, which he strawed into water, and gaue thereof drinke to the children of Israel.arripiensque vitulum quem fecerant, combussit, et contrivit usque ad pulverem, quem sparsit in aquam, et dedit ex eo potum filiis Israël. 21And he said to Aaron: What has this people done to thee, that thou shouldst bring upon them a most heinous sin?E disse ad Aronne: Che ha egli fatto a te questo popolo, che tu dovessi tirar sopra di lui sì gran peccato?And he said to Aaron: What hath this people done to thee, that thou shouldest bring vpon them an heinous sinne?Dixitque ad Aaron: Quid tibi fecit hic populus, ut induceres super eum peccatum maximum ? 22And he answered him: Let not my lord be offended; for thou knowest this people, that they are prone to evil.E quegli rispose: Signor mio, non adirarti: perocché tu sai, come questo popolo è inclinato al male.To whom he answered: Let not my lord be offended: for thou knowest this people, that it is prone to euil:Cui ille respondit: Ne indignetur dominus meus: tu enim nosti populum istum, quod pronus sit ad malum: 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.Ei mi dissero: Fa' a noi degli dei, che ci vadano innanzi: perocché quel che sia stato di quel Mosè, che ci trasse dalla terra d'Egitto, noi noi sappiamo.they said to me: Make vs goddes, that may goe before vs: for vnto this same Moyses, that brought vs forth out of the Land of Aegypt, we know not what is chanced.dixerunt mihi: Fac nobis deos, qui nos præcedant: huic enim Moysi, qui nos eduxit de terra Ægypti, nescimus quid acciderit. 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.E io dissi loro: Chi di voi ha dell'oro? Ne portarono, e me lo diedero, e io lo gittai nel fuoco, e ne venne fuori quel vitello.To whom I said: Which of you hath gold? They tooke, and brought to me: and I cast it into the fire, and this calfe came forth.Quibus ego dixi: Quis vestrum habet aurum ? Tulerunt, et dederunt mihi: et projeci illud in ignem, egressusque est hic vitulus.

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)Veggendo adunque Mosè, come il popolo era spogliato (dappoiché Aronne lo avea spogliato con quella obbrobriosa abbominazione, e lasciato nudo in mezzo a' nemici),Moyses therfore seeing the people that they were made naked (for Aaron had spoiled them for the ignominie of filth, and had set them naked among their enemies)Videns ergo Moyses populum quod esset nudatus (spoliaverat enim eum Aaron propter ignominiam sordis, et inter hostes nudum constituerat), 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:Stando sulla porta degli alloggiamenti disse: Chi è del Signore, si unisca meco. E si raunarono intorno a lui tutti i figliuoli di Levi.and standing in the gate of the campe, he said: If any man be our Lords, let him ioyne to me. And there gathered vnto him al the sonnes of Leui:et stans in porta castrorum, ait: Si quis est Domini, jungatur mihi. Congregatique sunt ad eum omnes filii Levi: 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.Ed ei disse loro: Queste cose disse il Signore Dio d'Israele: Ognuno si ponga la spada al suo fianco: andate innanzi, e indietro da una porta all'altra pel mezzo degli alloggiamenti, e ognuno uccida il fratello, e l'amico, e il vicino suo.to whom he said: This saith the Lord God of Israel: Put euerie man his sword vpon his thigh: goe, & returne from gate to gate through the middes of the campe, and euerie man kil his brother, and frend, and neighbour.quibus ait: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Ponat vir gladium super femur suum: ite, et redite de porta usque ad portam per medium castrorum, et occidat unusquisque fratrem, et amicum, et proximum suum. 28And the sons of Levi did according to the words of Moses, and there were slain that day about three and twenty thousand men.E fecero i figliuoli di Levi secondo la parola di Mosè: e perirono in quel giorno circa ventitré mila uomini.And the sonnes of Leui did according to the saying of Moyses, and there were slaine in that day about three thousand men.Feceruntque filii juxta sermonem Moysi, cecideruntque in die illa quasi viginti tria millia hominum.

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.E Mosè disse loro: Oggi voi avete consacrato al Signore le mani vostre, uccidendo ciascuno di voi il proprio figliuolo e il fratello affine di ottenere la benedizione.And Moyses said: You haue consecrated your handes this day to our Lord, euerie man in his sonne & in his brother, that blessing may be giuen to youEt ait Moyses: Consecrastis manus vestras hodie Domino, unusquisque in filio, et in fratre suo, ut detur vobis benedictio. 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.E il dì seguente Mosè disse al popolo: Peccato grandissimo avete fatto: io salirò al Signore per vedere, se in qualche modo potrò ottener pietà alla vostra scelleraggine.And when the next day was come, Moyses spake to the people: You have sinned a verie great sinne: I wil goe vp to our Lord, if by anie meanes I may be able to intreate him for your sinful fact.Facto autem altero die, locutus est Moyses ad populum: Peccastis peccatum maximum: ascendam ad Dominum, si quomodo quivero eum deprecari pro scelere vestro. 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,E tornato egli al Signore, disse: Ascoltami, questo popolo ha commesso un peccato grandissimo, e si sono fatti degli dei d'oro: o perdona loro questo fallo,And returning to our Lord he said: I beseech thee: this people hath sinned a heinous sinne, and they haue made to them selues goddes of gold: either forgiue them this trespasse,Reversusque ad Dominum, ait: Obsecro, peccavit populus iste peccatum maximum, feceruntque sibi deos aureos: aut dimitte eis hanc noxam, 32Or if thou do not, strike me out of the book that thou hast written.O se nol fai, cancellami da quel tuo libro scritto da te.or if thou doe not, strike me out of the booke that thou hast written.aut si non facis, dele me de libro tuo quem scripsisti. 33And the Lord answered him: He that hath sinned against me, him will I strike out of my book:Gli rispose il Signore: Colui, che peccherà contro di me, lo cancellerò io dal mio libro:To whom our Lord answered: He that hath sinned to me, him wil I strike out of my booke:Cui respondit Dominus: Qui peccaverit mihi, delebo eum de libro meo:

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.Ma tu va', e conduci questo popolo, dove io ti ho detto: anderà innanzi a te il mio Angelo. E io nel dì della vendetta punirò anche questo loro peccato.but goe thou, and leade this people whither I haue told thee: myne Angel shal goe before thee. And I in the day of reuenge wil visite this sinne also of theirs.tu autem vade, et duc populum istum quo locutus sum tibi: angelus meus præcedet te. Ego autem in die ultionis visitabo et hoc peccatum eorum. 35The Lord therefore struck the people for the guilt, on occasion of the calf which Aaron had made.Il Signore adunque flagellò il popolo per la colpa del vitello fatto da Aronne.Our Lord therfore smote the people for the fault concerning the calfe, which Aaron had made.Percussit ergo Dominus populum pro reatu vituli, quem fecerat Aaron.
