Parashat Yitro יִתְרוֹ

18:1When Yitro (Jethro), the priest of Midyan (Midian), Moshe’s (Moses’) father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moshe, and for Yisrael (Israel) His people, and that Hashem had brought Yisrael out of Mitzrayim (Egypt);

Vayishma Yitro ḥohen Midyan ḥoten Mosheh et kol-asher asah Elohim leMosheh uleYisra'el amo ki-hotzi Adonai et-Yisra'el miMitzrayim.

אוַיִּשְׁמַ֞ע יִתְר֨וֹ כֹהֵ֤ן מִדְיָן֙ חֹתֵ֣ן משֶׁ֔ה אֵת֩ כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֤ה אֱלֹהִים֙ לְמשֶׁ֔ה וּלְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל עַמּ֑וֹ כִּֽי־הוֹצִ֧יא יְהוָֹ֛ה אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃

18:2then Yitro, Moshe’s father-in-law, took Tzipporah (Zipporah), Moshe’s wife, after he had sent her back,

Vayikaḥ Yitro ḥoten Mosheh et-Tziporah eshet Mosheh aḥar shiluḥeha.

בוַיִּקַּ֗ח יִתְרוֹ֙ חֹתֵ֣ן משֶׁ֔ה אֶת־צִפֹּרָ֖ה אֵ֣שֶׁת משֶׁ֑ה אַחַ֖ר שִׁלּוּחֶֽיהָ׃

18:3and her two sons; of whom the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, “I have been an alien in a strange land”;

Ve'et shenei vaneha asher shem ha'eḥad Gershom ki amar ger hayiti be'eretz noḥriyah.

גוְאֵ֖ת שְׁנֵ֣י בָנֶ֑יהָ אֲשֶׁ֨ר שֵׁ֤ם הָֽאֶחָד֙ גֵּֽרְשֹׁ֔ם כִּ֣י אָמַ֔ר גֵּ֣ר הָיִ֔יתִי בְּאֶ֖רֶץ נָכְרִיָּֽה׃

18:4and the name of the other was Eliezer; “for the God of my father,” said he, “was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Par’oh (Pharaoh).”

Veshem ha'eḥad Eli'ezer ki-elohei avi be'ezri vayatzileni meḥerev Par'oh.

דוְשֵׁ֥ם הָֽאֶחָ֖ד אֱלִיעֶ֑זֶר כִּֽי־אֱלֹהֵ֤י אָבִי֙ בְּעֶזְרִ֔י וַיַּצִּלֵ֖נִי מֵחֶ֥רֶב פַּרְעֹֽה׃

18:5And Yitro, Moshe’s father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moshe into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God;

Vayavo Yitro ḥoten Mosheh uvanav ve'ishto el-Mosheh el-hamidbar asher-hu ḥoneh sham har ha'Elohim.

הוַיָּבֹ֞א יִתְר֨וֹ חֹתֵ֥ן משֶׁ֛ה וּבָנָ֥יו וְאִשְׁתּ֖וֹ אֶל־משֶׁ֑ה אֶל־הַמִּדְבָּ֕ר אֲשֶׁר־ה֛וּא חֹנֶ֥ה שָׁ֖ם הַ֥ר הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃

18:6and he said unto Moshe, “I, your father-in-law Yitro, have come unto you, and your wife, and her two sons with her.”

Vayomer el-Mosheh ani ḥotenḥa Yitro ba eleḥa ve'ishteḥa ushenei vaneha imah.

ווַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אֶל־משֶׁ֔ה אֲנִ֛י חֹֽתֶנְךָ֥ יִתְר֖וֹ בָּ֣א אֵלֶ֑יךָ וְאִ֨שְׁתְּךָ֔ וּשְׁנֵ֥י בָנֶ֖יהָ עִמָּֽהּ׃

18:7And Moshe went out to meet his father-in-law, and bowed down, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.

Vayetze Mosheh likrat ḥoteno vayishtaḥu vayishak-lo vayish'alu ish-lere'ehu leshalom vayavo'u ha'ohelah.

זוַיֵּצֵ֨א משֶׁ֜ה לִקְרַ֣את חֹֽתְנ֗וֹ וַיִּשְׁתַּ֨חוּ֙ וַיִּשַּׁק־ל֔וֹ וַיִּשְׁאֲל֥וּ אִֽישׁ־לְרֵעֵ֖הוּ לְשָׁל֑וֹם וַיָּבֹ֖אוּ הָאֹֽהֱלָה׃

18:8And Moshe told his father-in-law all that Hashem had done unto Par’oh and to the Egyptians for Yisrael’s sake, and all the hardship that had come upon them by the way, and how Hashem delivered them.

Vayesaper Mosheh leḥoteno et kol-asher asah Adonai leFar'oh uleMitzrayim al odot Yisra'el et kol-hatela'ah asher metza'atam badereḥ vayatzilem Adonai.

חוַיְסַפֵּ֤ר משֶׁה֙ לְחֹ֣תְנ֔וֹ אֵת֩ כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשָׂ֤ה יְהוָֹה֙ לְפַרְעֹ֣ה וּלְמִצְרַ֔יִם עַ֖ל אוֹדֹ֣ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אֵ֤ת כָּל־הַתְּלָאָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר מְצָאָ֣תַם בַּדֶּ֔רֶךְ וַיַּצִּלֵ֖ם יְהוָֹֽה׃

18:9And Yitro rejoiced for all the goodness which Hashem had done to Yisrael, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.

Vayiḥad Yitro al kol-hatovah asher-asah Adonai leYisra'el asher hitzilo miyad Mitzrayim.

טוַיִּ֣חַדְּ יִתְר֔וֹ עַ֚ל כָּל־הַטּוֹבָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֥ה יְהוָֹ֖ה לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר הִצִּיל֖וֹ מִיַּ֥ד מִצְרָֽיִם׃

18:10And Yitro said, “Blessed be Hashem, who has delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Par’oh, who has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

Vayomer Yitro baruḥ Adonai asher hitzil etḥem miyad Mitzrayim umiyad Par'oh asher hitzil et-ha'am mitaḥat yad-Mitzrayim.

יוַיֹּ֘אמֶר֘ יִתְרוֹ֒ בָּר֣וּךְ יְהֹוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר הִצִּ֥יל אֶתְכֶ֛ם מִיַּ֥ד מִצְרַ֖יִם וּמִיַּ֣ד פַּרְעֹ֑ה אֲשֶׁ֤ר הִצִּיל֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם מִתַּ֖חַת יַד־מִצְרָֽיִם׃

18:11Now I know that Hashem is greater than all gods; for in the very thing in which they dealt proudly He was above them.”

Atah yada'ti ki-gadol Adonai mikol-ha'Elohim ki vadavar asher zadu aleihem.

יאעַתָּ֣ה יָדַ֔עְתִּי כִּֽי־גָד֥וֹל יְהוָֹ֖ה מִכָּל־הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֣י בַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר זָד֖וּ עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃

18:12And Yitro, Moshe’s father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God; and Aharon (Aaron) came, and all the elders of Yisrael, to eat bread with Moshe’s father-in-law before God.

Vayikaḥ Yitro ḥoten Mosheh olah uzevaḥim le'Elohim vayavo Aharon veḥol ziknei Yisra'el le'eḥol-leḥem im-ḥoten Mosheh lifnei ha'Elohim.

יבוַיִּקַּ֞ח יִתְר֨וֹ חֹתֵ֥ן משֶׁ֛ה עֹלָ֥ה וּזְבָחִ֖ים לֵֽאלֹהִ֑ים וַיָּבֹ֨א אַֽהֲרֹ֜ן וְכֹ֣ל ׀ זִקְנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל לֶֽאֱכָל־לֶ֛חֶם עִם־חֹתֵ֥ן משֶׁ֖ה לִפְנֵ֥י הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃

18:13And it came to pass on the next day, that Moshe sat to judge the people; and the people stood by Moshe from the morning unto the evening.

Vayehi mimoḥorat vayeshev Mosheh lishpot et-ha'am vaya'amod ha'am al-Mosheh min-haboker ad-ha'arev.

יגוַֽיְהִי֙ מִמָּ֣חֳרָ֔ת וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב משֶׁ֖ה לִשְׁפֹּ֣ט אֶת־הָעָ֑ם וַיַּֽעֲמֹ֤ד הָעָם֙ עַל־משֶׁ֔ה מִן־הַבֹּ֖קֶר עַד־הָעָֽרֶב׃

18:14And when Moshe’s father-in-law saw all that he did to the people, he said, “What is this thing that you do to the people? Why do you sit by yourself alone, and all the people stand by you from morning unto evening?”

Vayar ḥoten Mosheh et kol-asher-hu oseh la'am vayomer mah-hadavar hazeh asher atah oseh la'am madua atah yoshev levadeḥa veḥol-ha'am nitzav aleḥa min-boker ad-arev.

18:15And Moshe said unto his father-in-law, “Because the people come unto me to inquire of God.

Vayomer Mosheh leḥoteno ki-yavo elay ha'am lidrosh Elohim.

טווַיֹּ֥אמֶר משֶׁ֖ה לְחֹֽתְנ֑וֹ כִּֽי־יָבֹ֥א אֵלַ֛י הָעָ֖ם לִדְר֥שׁ אֱלֹהִֽים׃

18:16When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I make them know the statutes of God, and His laws.”

Ki-yihyeh lahem davar ba elay veshafatti bein ish uvein re'ehu vehoda'ti et-ḥukei ha'Elohim ve'et-torotav.

טזכִּי־יִֽהְיֶ֨ה לָהֶ֤ם דָּבָר֙ בָּ֣א אֵלַ֔י וְשָׁ֣פַטְתִּ֔י בֵּ֥ין אִ֖ישׁ וּבֵ֣ין רֵעֵ֑הוּ וְהֽוֹדַעְתִּ֛י אֶת־חֻקֵּ֥י הָֽאֱלֹהִ֖ים וְאֶת־תּֽוֹרֹתָֽיו׃

18:17And Moshe’s father-in-law said unto him, “The thing that you do is not good.

Vayomer ḥoten Mosheh elav lo-tov hadavar asher atah oseh.

יזוַיֹּ֛אמֶר חֹתֵ֥ן משֶׁ֖ה אֵלָ֑יו לֹא־טוֹב֙ הַדָּבָ֔ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתָּ֖ה עֹשֶֽׂה׃

18:18You will surely wear away, both you, and this people that is with you; for this thing is too heavy for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself alone.

Navol tibol gam-atah gam-ha'am hazeh asher imaḥ ki-ḥaved mimeḥa hadavar lo-tuḥal ashu levadeḥa.

18:19Hearken now unto my voice, I will give you counsel, and God shall be with you: be for the people before God, that you may bring the causes unto God;

Atah shema bekoli i'atzeḥa vihi Elohim imaḥ heyeh atah la'am mul ha'Elohim veheveta atah et-hadevarim el-ha'Elohim.

יטעַתָּ֞ה שְׁמַ֤ע בְּקֹלִי֙ אִיעָ֣צְךָ֔ וִיהִ֥י אֱלֹהִ֖ים עִמָּ֑ךְ הֱיֵ֧ה אַתָּ֣ה לָעָ֗ם מ֚וּל הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים וְהֵֽבֵאתָ֥ אַתָּ֛ה אֶת־הַדְּבָרִ֖ים אֶל־הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃

18:20and you shall teach them ordinances and laws, and shall show them the way in which they must walk, and the work that they must do.

Vehizhartah ethem et-haḥukim ve'et-hatorot vehoda'ta lahem et-hadereḥ yeleḥu vah ve'et-hama'aseh asher ya'asun.

כוְהִזְהַרְתָּ֣ה אֶתְהֶ֔ם אֶת־הַֽחֻקִּ֖ים וְאֶת־הַתּוֹרֹ֑ת וְהֽוֹדַעְתָּ֣ לָהֶ֗ם אֶת־הַדֶּ֨רֶךְ֙ יֵ֣לְכוּ בָ֔הּ וְאֶת־הַמַּֽעֲשֶׂ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר יַֽעֲשֽׂוּן׃

18:21Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens;

Ve'atah teḥezeh mikol-ha'am anshei-ḥayil yir'ei Elohim anshei emet sone'ei vatza vesamta alehem sarei alafim sarei me'ot sarei ḥamishim vesarei asarot.

כאוְאַתָּ֣ה תֶֽחֱזֶ֣ה מִכָּל־הָ֠עָ֠ם אַנְשֵׁי־חַ֜יִל יִרְאֵ֧י אֱלֹהִ֛ים אַנְשֵׁ֥י אֱמֶ֖ת שׂ֣נְאֵי בָ֑צַע וְשַׂמְתָּ֣ עֲלֵהֶ֗ם שָׂרֵ֤י אֲלָפִים֙ שָׂרֵ֣י מֵא֔וֹת שָׂרֵ֥י חֲמִשִּׁ֖ים וְשָׂרֵ֥י עֲשָׂרֹֽת׃

18:22and let them judge the people at all seasons; and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto you, but every small matter they shall judge; so shall it be easier for yourself, and they shall bear the burden with you.

Veshaftu et-ha'am beḥol-et vehayah kol-hadavar hagadol yavi'u eleḥa veḥol-hadavar hakaton yishpetu-hem vehakel me'aleḥa venas'u itaḥ.

כבוְשָֽׁפְט֣וּ אֶת־הָעָם֘ בְּכָל־עֵת֒ וְהָיָ֞ה כָּל־הַדָּבָ֤ר הַגָּדֹל֙ יָבִ֣יאוּ אֵלֶ֔יךָ וְכָל־הַדָּבָ֥ר הַקָּטֹ֖ן יִשְׁפְּטוּ־הֵ֑ם וְהָקֵל֙ מֵֽעָלֶ֔יךָ וְנָֽשְׂא֖וּ אִתָּֽךְ׃

18:23If you shall do this thing, and God command you so, then you shall be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.”

Im et-hadavar hazeh ta'aseh vetziveḥa Elohim veyaḥolta amod vegam kol-ha'am hazeh al-mekomo yavo veshalom.

כגאִ֣ם אֶת־הַדָּבָ֤ר הַזֶּה֙ תַּֽעֲשֶׂ֔ה וְצִוְּךָ֣ אֱלֹהִ֔ים וְיָֽכָלְתָּ֖ עֲמֹ֑ד וְגַם֙ כָּל־הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה עַל־מְקֹמ֖וֹ יָבֹ֥א בְשָׁלֽוֹם׃

18:24So Moshe hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law, and did all that he had said.

Vayishma Mosheh lekol ḥoteno vaya'as kol asher amar.

כדוַיִּשְׁמַ֥ע משֶׁ֖ה לְק֣וֹל חֹֽתְנ֑וֹ וַיַּ֕עַשׂ כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָמָֽר׃

18:25And Moshe chose able men out of all Yisrael, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

Vayivḥar Mosheh anshei-ḥayil mikol-Yisra'el vayiten otam rashim al-ha'am sarei alafim sarei me'ot sarei ḥamishim vesarei asarot.

18:26And they judged the people at all seasons; the hard causes they brought unto Moshe, but every small matter they judged themselves.

Veshaftu et-ha'am beḥol-et et-hadavar hakasheh yevi'un el-Mosheh veḥol-hadavar hakaton yishputu hem.

כווְשָֽׁפְט֥וּ אֶת־הָעָ֖ם בְּכָל־עֵ֑ת אֶת־הַדָּבָ֤ר הַקָּשֶׁה֙ יְבִיא֣וּן אֶל־משֶׁ֔ה וְכָל־הַדָּבָ֥ר הַקָּטֹ֖ן יִשְׁפּוּט֥וּ הֵֽם׃

18:27And Moshe let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way into his own land.

Vayeshalaḥ Mosheh et-ḥoteno vayeleḥ lo el-artzo.

כזוַיְשַׁלַּ֥ח משֶׁ֖ה אֶת־חֹֽתְנ֑וֹ וַיֵּ֥לֶךְ ל֖וֹ אֶל־אַרְצֽוֹ׃

19:1In the third month, when the children of Yisrael had gone forth out of the land of Mitzrayim, on the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

Baḥodesh hashelishi letzet benei-Yisra'el me'eretz Mitzrayim bayom hazeh ba'u midbar Sinai.

אבַּחֹ֨דֶשׁ֙ הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֔י לְצֵ֥את בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם בַּיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה בָּ֖אוּ מִדְבַּ֥ר סִינָֽי׃

19:2For they had departed from Refidim (Rephidim), and had come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Yisrael camped before the mount.

Vayis'u meRefidim vayavo'u midbar Sinai vayaḥanu bamidbar vayiḥan-sham Yisra'el neged hahar.

19:3And Moshe went up unto God, and Hashem called unto him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus shall you say to the house of Yaakov (Jacob), and tell the children of Yisrael:

UMosheh alah el-ha'Elohim vayikra elav Adonai min-hahar lemor koh tomar leveit Ya'akov vetageid livnei Yisra'el.

19:4You have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings, and brought you unto Myself.

Atem re'item asher asiti leMitzrayim va'esa etḥem al-kanfei nesharim va'avi etḥem elay.

19:5Now therefore, if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure unto Me above all peoples; for all the earth is Mine;

Ve'atah im-shamoa tishme'u bekoli ushemartem et-beriti vihyitem li segulah mikol-ha'amim ki-li kol-ha'aretz.

19:6and you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak unto the children of Yisrael.”

Ve'atem tihyu-li mamleḥet kohanim vegoy kadosh eleh hadevarim asher tedaber el-benei Yisra'el.

ווְאַתֶּ֧ם תִּֽהְיוּ־לִ֛י מַמְלֶ֥כֶת כֹּֽהֲנִ֖ים וְג֣וֹי קָד֑וֹשׁ אֵ֚לֶּה הַדְּבָרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר תְּדַבֵּ֖ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

19:7And Moshe came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which Hashem commanded him.

Vayavo Mosheh vayikra leziknei ha'am vayasem lifneihem et kol-hadevarim ha'eleh asher tzivahu Adonai.

זוַיָּבֹ֣א משֶׁ֔ה וַיִּקְרָ֖א לְזִקְנֵ֣י הָעָ֑ם וַיָּ֣שֶׂם לִפְנֵיהֶ֗ם אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖הוּ יְהוָֹֽה׃

19:8And all the people answered together, and said, “All that Hashem has spoken we will do.” And Moshe returned the words of the people unto Hashem.

Vaya'anu ḥol-ha'am yaḥdav vayomeru kol asher-diber Adonai na'aseh vayashev Mosheh et-divrei ha'am el-Adonai.

חוַיַּֽעֲנ֨וּ כָל־הָעָ֤ם יַחְדָּו֙ וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ כֹּ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהוָֹ֖ה נַֽעֲשֶׂ֑ה וַיָּ֧שֶׁב משֶׁ֛ה אֶת־דִּבְרֵ֥י הָעָ֖ם אֶל־יְהוָֹֽה׃

19:9And Hashem said unto Moshe, “Behold, I come unto you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.” And Moshe told the words of the people unto Hashem.

Vayomer Adonai el-Mosheh hineh anoḥi ba eleḥa be'av he'anan ba'avur yishma ha'am bedaberi imaḥ vegam-beḥa ya'aminu le'olam vayaged Mosheh et-divrei ha'am el-Adonai.

19:10And Hashem said unto Moshe, “Go unto the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes,

Vayomer Adonai el-Mosheh leḥ el-ha'am vekidashtam hayom umaḥar veḥibesu simlotam.

יוַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָֹ֤ה אֶל־משֶׁה֙ לֵ֣ךְ אֶל־הָעָ֔ם וְקִדַּשְׁתָּ֥ם הַיּ֖וֹם וּמָחָ֑ר וְכִבְּס֖וּ שִׂמְלֹתָֽם׃

19:11and be ready for the third day; for on the third day Hashem will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

Vehayu neḥonim layom hashelishi ki bayom hashelishi yered Adonai le'einei ḥol-ha'am al-har Sinai.

19:12And you shall set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that you do not go up into the mount, or touch the border of it; whoever touches the mount shall surely be put to death.

Vehigbalta et-ha'am saviv lemor hishamru laḥem alot bahar unegoa bekatzehu kol-hanogea bahar mot yumat.

19:13There shall not a hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live. When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mount.”

Lo-tiga bo yad ki-sakol yisakel o-yaroh yiyareh im-behemah im-ish lo yiḥyeh bimshoḥ hayovel hemah ya'alu vahar.

19:14And Moshe went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

Vayered Mosheh min-hahar el-ha'am vayekadesh et-ha'am vayeḥabesu simlotam.

ידוַיֵּ֧רֶד משֶׁ֛ה מִן־הָהָ֖ר אֶל־הָעָ֑ם וַיְקַדֵּשׁ֙ אֶת־הָעָ֔ם וַיְכַבְּס֖וּ שִׂמְלֹתָֽם׃

19:15And he said unto the people, “Be ready for the third day; do not come near your wives.”

Vayomer el-ha'am heyu neḥonim lishloshet yamim al-tigeshu el-ishah.

טווַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אֶל־הָעָ֔ם הֱי֥וּ נְכֹנִ֖ים לִשְׁל֣שֶׁת יָמִ֑ים אַל־תִּגְּשׁ֖וּ אֶל־אִשָּֽׁה׃

19:16And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceedingly loud; so that all the people that were in the camp trembled.

Vayehi vayom hashelishi bihyot haboker vayehi kolot uverakim ve'anan kaved al-hahar vekol shofar ḥazak me'od vayeḥerad kol-ha'am asher bamaḥaneh.

19:17And Moshe brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the lower part of the mount.

Vayotze Mosheh et-ha'am likrat ha'Elohim min-hamaḥaneh vayityatzevu betaḥtit hahar.

יזוַיּוֹצֵ֨א משֶׁ֧ה אֶת־הָעָ֛ם לִקְרַ֥את הָֽאֱלֹהִ֖ים מִן־הַמַּֽחֲנֶ֑ה וַיִּתְיַצְּב֖וּ בְּתַחְתִּ֥ית הָהָֽר׃

19:18And mount Sinai was altogether in smoke, because Hashem descended upon it in fire; and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.

Vehar Sinai ashan kulo mipenei asher yarad alav Adonai ba'esh vaya'al ashano ke'eshen hakivshan vayeḥerad kol-hahar me'od.

יחוְהַ֤ר סִינַי֙ עָשַׁ֣ן כֻּלּ֔וֹ מִ֠פְּנֵ֠י אֲשֶׁ֨ר יָרַ֥ד עָלָ֛יו יְהוָֹ֖ה בָּאֵ֑שׁ וַיַּ֤עַל עֲשָׁנוֹ֙ כְּעֶ֣שֶׁן הַכִּבְשָׁ֔ן וַיֶּֽחֱרַ֥ד כָּל־הָהָ֖ר מְאֹֽד׃

19:19And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and grew louder and louder, Moshe spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

Vayehi kol hashofar holeḥ veḥazek me'od Mosheh yedaber veha'Elohim ya'anenu vekol.

יטוַֽיְהִי֙ ק֣וֹל הַשֹּׁפָ֔ר הוֹלֵ֖ךְ וְחָזֵ֣ק מְאֹ֑ד משֶׁ֣ה יְדַבֵּ֔ר וְהָֽאֱלֹהִ֖ים יַֽעֲנֶ֥נּוּ בְקֽוֹל׃

19:20And Hashem came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount; and Hashem called Moshe up to the top of the mount; and Moshe went up.

Vayered Adonai al-har Sinai el-rosh hahar vayikra Adonai leMosheh el-rosh hahar vaya'al Mosheh.

כוַיֵּ֧רֶד יְהוָֹ֛ה עַל־הַ֥ר סִינַ֖י אֶל־רֹ֣אשׁ הָהָ֑ר וַיִּקְרָ֨א יְהוָֹ֧ה לְמשֶׁ֛ה אֶל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָהָ֖ר וַיַּ֥עַל משֶֽׁה׃

19:21And Hashem said unto Moshe, “Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto Hashem to gaze, and many of them perish.

Vayomer Adonai el-Mosheh red ha'ed ba'am pen-yehersu el-Adonai lir'ot venafal mimenu rav.

כאוַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָֹה֙ אֶל־משֶׁ֔ה רֵ֖ד הָעֵ֣ד בָּעָ֑ם פֶּן־יֶֽהֶרְס֤וּ אֶל־יְהוָֹה֙ לִרְא֔וֹת וְנָפַ֥ל מִמֶּ֖נּוּ רָֽב׃

19:22And let the priests also, who come near to Hashem, sanctify themselves, lest Hashem break forth upon them.”

Vegam hakohanim hanigashim el-Adonai yitkadashu pen-yifrotz bahem Adonai.

כבוְגַ֧ם הַכֹּֽהֲנִ֛ים הַנִּגָּשִׁ֥ים אֶל־יְהוָֹ֖ה יִתְקַדָּ֑שׁוּ פֶּן־יִפְרֹ֥ץ בָּהֶ֖ם יְהוָֹֽה׃

19:23And Moshe said unto Hashem, “The people cannot come up to mount Sinai; for You charged us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.”

Vayomer Mosheh el-Adonai lo-yuḥal ha'am la'alot el-har Sinai ki-atah ha'edotah banu lemor hagbel et-hahar vekidashto.

כגוַיֹּ֤אמֶר משֶׁה֙ אֶל־יְהֹוָ֔ה לֹֽא־יוּכַ֣ל הָעָ֔ם לַֽעֲלֹ֖ת אֶל־הַ֣ר סִינָ֑י כִּֽי־אַתָּ֞ה הַֽעֵדֹ֤תָה בָּ֨נוּ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הַגְבֵּ֥ל אֶת־הָהָ֖ר וְקִדַּשְׁתּֽוֹ׃

19:24And Hashem said unto him, “Go, get down, and you shall come up, you, and Aharon with you; but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto Hashem, lest He break forth upon them.”

Vayomer elav Adonai leḥ-red ve'alita atah ve'Aharon imaḥ vehakohanim veha'am al-yehersu la'alot el-Adonai pen-yifratz-bam.

כדוַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֵלָ֤יו יְהוָֹה֙ לֶךְ־רֵ֔ד וְעָלִ֥יתָ אַתָּ֖ה וְאַֽהֲרֹ֣ן עִמָּ֑ךְ וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִ֣ים וְהָעָ֗ם אַל־יֶֽהֶרְס֛וּ לַֽעֲלֹ֥ת אֶל־יְהוָֹ֖ה פֶּן־יִפְרָץ־בָּֽם׃

19:25So Moshe went down unto the people, and spoke unto them.

Vayered Mosheh el-ha'am vayomer alehem.

כהוַיֵּ֥רֶד משֶׁ֖ה אֶל־הָעָ֑ם וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אֲלֵהֶֽם׃

20:1And God spoke all these words, saying,

Vayedaber Elohim et kol-hadevarim ha'eleh lemor.

אוַיְדַבֵּ֣ר אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֵ֛ת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לֵאמֹֽר׃

20:2“I am Hashem your God, who has brought you out of the land of Mitzrayim, out of the house of bondage.

Anoḥi Adonai eloheḥa asher hotzetiḥa me'eretz Mitzrayim mibeit avadim.

באָֽנֹכִ֖י יְהֹוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ אֲשֶׁ֧ר הֽוֹצֵאתִ֛יךָ מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם מִבֵּ֥ית עֲבָדִֽים׃

20:3You shall have no other gods before Me.

Lo-yihyeh leḥa elohim aḥerim al-panay.

גלֹא־יִֽהְיֶ֥ה לְךָ֛ אֱלֹהִ֥ים אֲחֵרִ֖ים עַל־פָּנָֽי׃

20:4You shall not make unto yourself any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Lo-ta'aseh leḥa fesel veḥol-temunah asher bashamayim mima'al va'asher ba'aretz mitaḥat va'asher bamayim mitaḥat la'aretz.

20:5You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I Hashem your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me,

Lo-tishtaḥaveh lahem velo to'ovdem ki anoḥi Adonai eloheḥa el kana poked avon avot al-banim al-shileshim ve'al-ribe'im lesone'ay.

הלֹֽא־תִשְׁתַּֽחֲוֶ֥ה לָהֶ֖ם וְלֹ֣א תָֽעָבְדֵ֑ם כִּ֣י אָֽנֹכִ֞י יְהֹוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֶ֨יךָ֙ אֵ֣ל קַנָּ֔א פֹּ֠קֵ֠ד עֲוֹ֨ן אָבֹ֧ת עַל־בָּנִ֛ים עַל־שִׁלֵּשִׁ֥ים וְעַל־רִבֵּעִ֖ים לְשֽׂנְאָֽי׃

20:6and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.

Ve'oseh ḥesed la'alafim le'ohavay uleshomerei mitzvotay.

ווְעֹ֥שֶׂה חֶ֖סֶד לַֽאֲלָפִ֑ים לְאֹֽהֲבַ֖י וּלְשֹֽׁמְרֵ֥י מִצְוֹתָֽי׃

20:7You shall not take the name of Hashem your God in vain; for Hashem will not hold him guiltless that takes His name in vain.

Lo tisa et-shem-Adonai eloheḥa lashav ki lo yenakeh Adonai et asher-yisa et-shemo lashav.

זלֹ֥א תִשָּׂ֛א אֶת־שֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ לַשָּׁ֑וְא כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יְנַקֶּה֙ יְהֹוָ֔ה אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־יִשָּׂ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ לַשָּֽׁוְא׃

20:8Remember the Shabbat day, to keep it holy.

Zaḥor et-yom hashabat lekadesho.

חזָכ֛וֹר אֶת־י֥וֹם הַשַּׁבָּ֖ת לְקַדְּשֽׁוֹ׃

20:9Six days shall you labor, and do all your work;

Sheshet yamim ta'avod ve'asita kol-melaḥteḥa.

טשֵׁ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ תַּֽעֲבֹ֔ד וְעָשִׂ֖יתָ כָּל־מְלַאכְתֶּֽךָ׃

20:10but the seventh day is the Shabbat of Hashem your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates;

Veyom hashevi'i shabat la-Adonai eloheḥa lo-ta'aseh ḥol-melaḥah atah uvinḥa uviteḥa avdeḥa va'amateḥa uvehemteḥa vegereḥa asher bish'areḥa.

20:11for in six days Hashem made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore Hashem blessed the Shabbat day, and hallowed it.

Ki sheshet-yamim asah Adonai et-hashamayim ve'et-ha'aretz et-hayam ve'et-kol-asher-bam vayanaḥ bayom hashevi'i al-ken beraḥ Adonai et-yom hashabat vayekadeshehu.

20:12Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which Hashem your God gives you.

Kabed et-aviḥa ve'et-imeḥa lema'an ya'ariḥun yameḥa al ha'adamah asher-Adonai eloheḥa noten laḥ.

20:13You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Lo tirtzaḥ lo tin'af lo tignov lo-ta'aneh vere'aḥa ed shaker.

20:14You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

Lo taḥmod beit re'eḥa lo-taḥmod eshet re'eḥa ve'avdo va'amato veshoro vaḥamoro veḥol asher lere'eḥa.

20:15And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and when the people saw it, they moved back, and stood afar off.

Veḥol-ha'am ro'im et-hakolot ve'et-halapidim ve'et kol hashofar ve'et-hahar ashen vayar ha'am vayanu'u vaya'amdu meraḥok.

20:16And they said unto Moshe, “Speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.”

Vayomeru el-Mosheh daber-atah imanu venishma'ah ve'al-yedaber imanu Elohim pen-namut.

20:17And Moshe said unto the people, “Do not fear; for God has come to test you, and that His fear may be before your faces, that you do not sin.”

Vayomer Mosheh el-ha'am al-tira'u ki leva'avur nasot etḥem ba ha'Elohim uva'avur tihyeh yir'ato al-peneiḥem levilti teḥeta'u.

20:18And the people stood afar off, and Moshe drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

Vaya'amod ha'am meraḥok uMosheh nigash el-ha'arafel asher-sham ha'Elohim.

יחוַיַּֽעֲמֹ֥ד הָעָ֖ם מֵֽרָחֹ֑ק וּמשֶׁה֙ נִגַּ֣שׁ אֶל־הָֽעֲרָפֶ֔ל אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֖ם הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃

20:19And Hashem said unto Moshe, “Thus you shall say unto the children of Yisrael: You have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

Vayomer Adonai el-Mosheh koh tomar el-benei Yisra'el atem re'item ki min-hashamayim dibarti imaḥem.

20:20You shall not make with Me gods of silver, neither shall you make unto you gods of gold.

20:21An altar of earth you shall make unto Me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, your sheep, and your oxen; in all places where I record My name I will come unto you, and I will bless you.

Mizbaḥ adamah ta'aseh-li vezavaḥta alav et-oloteḥa ve'et-shelameḥa et-tzoneḥa ve'et-bekareḥa beḥol-hamakom asher azkir et-shemi avo eleḥa uveraḥtiḥa.

20:22And if you will make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of hewn stone; for if you lift up your tool upon it, you have polluted it.

6:1In the year that king Uzziyahu (Uzziah) died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

Bishnat-mot hameleḥ Uziyahu va'er'eh et-Adonai yoshev al-kise ram venisa veshulav mele'im et-haheiḥal.

6:2Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

6:3And one cried unto another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Hashem of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.”

Vekara zeh el-zeh ve'amar kadosh kadosh kadosh Adonai tzeva'ot melo ḥol-ha'aretz kevodo.

6:4And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

Vayanu'u amot hasipim mikol hakore vehabayit yimale ashan.

דוַיָּנֻ֙עוּ֙ אַמּ֣וֹת הַסִּפִּ֔ים מִקּ֖וֹל הַקּוֹרֵ֑א וְהַבַּ֖יִת יִמָּלֵ֥א עָשָֽׁן׃

6:5Then said I, “Woe is me! For I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, Hashem of hosts.”

Va'omar oy-li ḥi-nidmeiti ki ish teme-sefatayim anoḥi uvetoḥ am-teme sefatayim anoḥi yoshev ki et-hameleḥ Adonai tzeva'ot ra'u einay.

6:6Then one of the seraphim flew unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;

Vaya'af elay eḥad min-haserafim uveyado ritzpah bemelkaḥayim lakaḥ me'al hamizbeaḥ.

6:7and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.”

6:8Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then said I, “Here am I; send me.”

Va'eshma et-kol Adonai omer et-mi-eshlaḥ umi yeleḥ-lanu va'omar hineni shelaḥeni.

6:9And He said, “Go, and tell this people, Hear indeed, but do not understand; and see indeed, but do not perceive.

6:10Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return, and be healed.”

6:11Then said I, “Lord, how long?” And He answered, “Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

6:12and Hashem have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

Veriḥak Adonai et-ha'adam verabah ha'azuvah bekerev ha'aretz.

6:13But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten; as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves; so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.”

Ve'od bah asiriyah veshavah vehaytah leva'er ka'elah veḥa'alon asher beshaleḥet matzevet bam zera kodesh matzavtah.

7:1And it came to pass in the days of Achaz (Ahaz) the son of Yotam (Jotham), the son of Uzziyahu, king of Yehudah (Judah), that Retzin (Rezin) the king of Aram (Syria), and Pekach (Pekah) the son of Remalyahu (Remaliah), king of Yisrael, went up toward Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) to war against it, but could not prevail against it.

Vayehi bimei Aḥaz ben-Yotam ben-Uziyahu meleḥ Yehudah alah Retzin meleḥ-Aram uFekaḥ ben-Remalyahu meleḥ-Yisra'el Yerushalayim lamilḥamah aleha velo yaḥol lehilaḥem aleha.

7:2And it was told the house of David, saying, “Aram is allied with Efrayim (Ephraim).” And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with the wind.

Vayugad leveit David lemor naḥah Aram al-Efrayim vayana levavo ulevav amo kenoa atzei-ya'ar mipenei-ruaḥ.

7:3Then Hashem said unto Yeshayahu (Isaiah), “Go forth now to meet Achaz, you, and Shear Yashuv (Shear-jashub) your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway of the fuller’s field;

Vayomer Adonai el-Yesha'yahu tze-na likrat Aḥaz atah uShe'ar Yashuv beneḥa el-ketzeh te'alat habereḥah ha'elyonah el-mesilat sedeh ḥoves.

7:4and say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Retzin with Aram, and of the son of Remalyahu.

Ve'amarta elav hishamer vehashket al-tira ulevaveḥa al-yeraḥ mishenei zanvot ha'udim ha'ashenim ha'eleh boḥori-af Retzin va'Aram uven-Remalyahu.

7:5Because Aram, Efrayim, and the son of Remalyahu, have taken evil counsel against you, saying,

Ya'an ki-ya'atz aleḥa Aram ra'ah Efrayim uven-Remalyahu lemor.

7:6Let us go up against Yehudah, and trouble it, and let us make a breach in it for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tav’al (Tabeal).”

Na'aleh viHudah unekitzenah venavki'enah eleinu venamliḥ meleḥ betoḥah et ben-Tav'al.

9:5For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

9:6Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of Hashem of hosts will perform this.
