The People Confess Their Sin

1 Now on the 24th day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.

וּבְיֹום֩ עֶשְׂרִ֨ים וְאַרְבָּעָ֜ה לַחֹ֣דֶשׁ הַזֶּ֗ה נֶאֶסְפ֤וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בְּצֹ֣ום וּבְשַׂקִּ֔ים וַאֲדָמָ֖ה עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃


2 And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

וַיִּבָּֽדְלוּ֙ זֶ֣רַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִכֹּ֖ל בְּנֵ֣י נֵכָ֑ר וַיַּעַמְד֗וּ וַיִּתְוַדּוּ֙ עַל־חַטֹּ֣אתֵיהֶ֔ם וַעֲוֹנֹ֖ות אֲבֹתֵיהֶֽם׃


3 And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.

וַיָּק֙וּמוּ֙ עַל־עָמְדָ֔ם וַֽיִּקְרְא֗וּ בְּסֵ֨פֶר תֹּורַ֧ת יְהוָ֛ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֖ם רְבִעִ֣ית הַיֹּ֑ום וּרְבִעִית֙ מִתְוַדִּ֣ים וּמִֽשְׁתַּחֲוִ֔ים לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃

3 καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ στάσει αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνέγνωσαν ἐν βιβλίῳ νόμου κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἦσαν ἐξαγορεύοντες τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ προσκυνοῦντες τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ αὐτῶν. 3 καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τῇ στάσει αὐτῶν καὶ ἀνέγνωσαν ἐν βιβλίῳ νόμου Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ ἦσαν ἐξαγορεύοντες τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ προσκυνοῦντες τῷ Κυρίῳ Θεῷ αὐτῶν.
3 And they stood in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their God: and they confessed to the Lord, and worshipped the Lord their God. 3 And they stood in their place, and read in the book of the law of the Lord their God: and they confessed to the Lord, and worshipped the Lord their God.

4 Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.

וַיָּ֜קָם עַֽל־מַֽעֲלֵ֣ה הַלְוִיִּ֗ם יֵשׁ֨וּעַ וּבָנִ֜י קַדְמִיאֵ֧ל שְׁבַנְיָ֛ה בֻּנִּ֥י שֵׁרֵבְיָ֖ה בָּנִ֣י כְנָ֑נִי וַֽיִּזְעֲקוּ֙ בְּקֹ֣ול גָּדֹ֔ול אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃

4 καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ ἀναβάσει τῶν Λευιτῶν Ἰησοῦς καὶ υἱοὶ Καδμιήλ, Σαχανία υἱὸς Σαραβία υἱοὶ Χανανὶ καὶ ἐβόησαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν αὐτῶν. 4 καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ ἀναβάσει τῶν Λευιτῶν Ἰησοῦς καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Καδμιήλ, Σεχενία υἱὸς Σαραβία, υἱοὶ Χωνενὶ καὶ ἐβόησαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν αὐτῶν.
4 And Jēsous and the sons of Kadmiēl, Sachania the son of Sarabia, sons of Chanani stood at the stairs of the Levites and shouted with a loud voice to the Lord their God. 4 And Jēsous and the sons of Kadmiēl, Sachania the son of Sarabia, sons of Chanani stood at the stairs of the Levites and shouted with a loud voice to the Lord their God.

5 Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God forever and ever: and blessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ הַלְוִיִּ֡ם יֵשׁ֣וּעַ וְ֠קַדְמִיאֵל בָּנִ֨י חֲשַׁבְנְיָ֜ה שֵׁרֵֽבְיָ֤ה הֹֽודִיָּה֙ שְׁבַנְיָ֣ה פְתַֽחְיָ֔ה ק֗וּמוּ בָּרֲכוּ֙ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶ֔ם מִן־הָעֹולָ֖ם עַד־הָעֹולָ֑ם וִיבָֽרְכוּ֙ שֵׁ֣ם כְּבֹודֶ֔ךָ וּמְרֹומַ֥ם עַל־כָּל־בְּרָכָ֖ה וּתְהִלָּֽה׃


6 You, even you, are LORD alone; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all that is in it, and you preserves them all; and the army of heaven worships you.

אַתָּה־ה֣וּא יְהוָה֮ לְבַדֶּךָ֒ עָשִׂ֡יתָ אֶֽת־הַשָּׁמַיִם֩ שְׁמֵ֨י הַשָּׁמַ֜יִם וְכָל־צְבָאָ֗ם הָאָ֜רֶץ וְכָל־אֲשֶׁ֤ר עָלֶ֙יהָ֙ הַיַּמִּים֙ וְכָל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּהֶ֔ם וְאַתָּ֖ה מְחַיֶּ֣ה אֶת־כֻּלָּ֑ם וּצְבָ֥א הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם לְךָ֥ מִשְׁתַּחֲוִֽים׃

6 καὶ εἶπεν Ἔσδρας σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς κύριος μόνος· σὺ ἐποίησας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν στάσιν αὐτῶν, τὴν γῆν καὶ πάντα, ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ, τὰς θαλάσσας καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐταῖς, καὶ σὺ ζωοποιεῖς τὰ πάντα, καὶ σοί προσκυνοῦσιν αἱ στρατιαὶ τῶν οὐρανῶν. 6 καὶ εἶπε Ἔσδρας· σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς Κύριος μόνος, σὺ ἐποίησας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὸν οὐρανὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν στάσιν αὐτῶν, τὴν γῆν καὶ πάντας, ὅσα ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ, τὰς θαλάσσας καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐταῖς, καὶ σὺ ζωοποιεῖς τὰ πάντας, καὶ σοί προσκυνοῦσιν αἱ στρατιαὶ τῶν οὐρανῶν.
6 And Esdras said, “You are he, the only Lord. You made the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all their position, the earth, and all things that are in it, the seas, and all things in them; and you invigorate all things, and the armies of heaven are giving worship to you. 6 And Esdras said, “You are he, the only Lord.

7 You are the LORD the God, who chose Abram, and brought him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham;

אַתָּה־הוּא֙ יְהוָ֣ה הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר בָּחַ֙רְתָּ֙ בְּאַבְרָ֔ם וְהֹוצֵאתֹ֖ו מֵא֣וּר כַּשְׂדִּ֑ים וְשַׂ֥מְתָּ שְּׁמֹ֖ו אַבְרָהָֽם׃

7 σὺ εἶ κύριος θεός· σὺ ἐξελέξω ἐν Ἅβραμ καὶ ἐξήγαγες αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς χώρας τῶν Χαλδαίων καὶ ἐπέθηκας αὐτῷ ὄνομα Ἁβραάμ· 7 σὺ εἶ Κύριος Θεός· σὺ ἐξελέξω ἐν Ἅβραμ καὶ ἐξήγαγες αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς χώρας τῶν Χαλδαίων καὶ ἐπέθηκας αὐτῷ ὄνομα Ἁβραάμ·
7 You are the Lord God, you made a choice in Abram, and brought him out of the country of the Chaldeans, and assigned to him a name, Habraam. 7 You are the Lord God, you made a choice in Abram, and brought him out of the country of the Chaldeans, and assigned to him a name, Habraam.

8 And found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and have performed your words; for you are righteous:

וּמָצָ֣אתָ אֶת־לְבָבֹו֮ נֶאֱמָ֣ן לְפָנֶיךָ֒ וְכָרֹ֨ות עִמֹּ֜ו הַבְּרִ֗ית לָתֵ֡ת אֶת־אֶרֶץ֩ הַכְּנַעֲנִ֨י הַחִתִּ֜י הָאֱמֹרִ֧י וְהַפְּרִזִּ֛י וְהַיְבוּסִ֥י וְהַגִּרְגָּשִׁ֖י לָתֵ֣ת לְזַרְעֹ֑ו וַתָּ֙קֶם֙ אֶת־דְּבָרֶ֔יךָ כִּ֥י צַדִּ֖יק אָֽתָּה׃

8 καὶ εὗρες τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ πιστὴν ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ διέθου πρὸς αὐτὸν διαθήκην δοῦναι αὐτῷ τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ Χετταίων καὶ Ἀμορραίων καὶ Φερεζαίων καὶ Ἰεβουσαίων καὶ Γεργεσαίων καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔστησας τοὺς λόγους σου ὅτι δίκαιος σύ. 8 καὶ εὗρες τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ πιστὴν ἐνώπιόν σου καὶ διέθου πρὸς αὐτὸν διαθήκην δοῦναι αὐτῷ τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ Χετταίων καὶ Ἀμορραίων καὶ Φερεζαίων καὶ Ἰεβουσαίων καὶ Γεργεσαίων καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔστησας τοὺς λόγους σου, ὅτι δίκαιος σύ.
8 And you found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorrites, and Pherezites, and Jebousites, and Gergesites. And you have established your words, because you are righteous. 8 And you found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give to him and to his seed the land of the Chananites, and the Chettites, and Amorrites, and Pherezites, and Jebousites, and Gergesites.

9 And saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red sea;

וַתֵּ֛רֶא אֶת־עֳנִ֥י אֲבֹתֵ֖ינוּ בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם וְאֶת־זַעֲקָתָ֥ם שָׁמַ֖עְתָּ עַל־יַם־סֽוּף׃


10 And showed signs and wonders upon Pharoah, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for you knew that they dealt proudly against them. So you got a name, as it is this day.

וַ֠תִּתֵּן אֹתֹ֨ת וּמֹֽפְתִ֜ים בְּפַרְעֹ֤ה וּבְכָל־עֲבָדָיו֙ וּבְכָל־עַ֣ם אַרְצֹ֔ו כִּ֣י יָדַ֔עְתָּ כִּ֥י הֵזִ֖ידוּ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וַתַּֽעַשׂ־לְךָ֥ שֵׁ֖ם כְּהַיֹּ֥ום הַזֶּֽה׃

10 καὶ ἔδωκας σημεῖα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν Φαραὼ καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἔγνως ὅτι ὑπερηφάνησαν ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ ὄνομα ὡς ἡμέρα αὕτη. 10 καὶ ἔδωκας σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ ἐν Φαραὼ καὶ ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἔγνως ὅτι ὑπερηφάνησαν ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐποίησας σεαυτῷ ὄνομα ὡς ἡμέρα αὕτη.
10 And you gave signs in Aigypt, on Pharaō and all his servants, and on all the people of his land; because you knew that they acted arrogantly against them; and you made a name for yourself, as this day. 10 And you gave signs in Aigypt, on Pharaō and all his servants, and on all the people of his land; because you knew that they acted arrogantly against them; and you made a name for yourself, as this day.

11 And you divided the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors you threw into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.

וְהַיָּם֙ בָּקַ֣עְתָּ לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם וַיַּֽעַבְר֥וּ בְתֹוךְ־הַיָּ֖ם בַּיַּבָּשָׁ֑ה וְֽאֶת־רֹ֨דְפֵיהֶ֜ם הִשְׁלַ֧כְתָּ בִמְצֹולֹ֛ת כְּמֹו־אֶ֖בֶן בְּמַ֥יִם עַזִּֽים׃

11 καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν ἔρρηξας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, καὶ παρήλθοσαν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης ἐν ξηρασίᾳ, καὶ τοὺς καταδιώξαντας αὐτοὺς ἔρριψας εἰς βυθὸν ὡσεὶ λίθον ἐν ὕδατι σφοδρῷ. 11 καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν ἔρρηξας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, καὶ παρήλθοσαν ἐν μέσῳ τῆς θαλάσσης ἐν ξηρασίᾳ, καὶ τοὺς καταδιώξοντας αὐτοὺς ἔρριψας εἰς βυθὸν ὡσεὶ λίθον ἐν ὕδατι σφοδρῷ.
11 And you split apart the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and you threw into the depths those who pursued them, like a stone in the turbulent water. 11 And you split apart the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and you threw into the depths those who pursued them, like a stone in the turbulent water.

12 Moreover you led them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way in which they should go.

וּבְעַמּ֣וּד עָנָ֔ן הִנְחִיתָ֖ם יֹומָ֑ם וּבְעַמּ֥וּד אֵשׁ֙ לַ֔יְלָה לְהָאִ֣יר לָהֶ֔ם אֶת־הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֵֽלְכוּ־בָֽהּ׃

12 καὶ ἐν στύλῳ νεφέλης ὡδήγησας αὐτοὺς ἡμέρας καὶ ἐν στύλῳ πυρὸς τὴν νύκτα τοῦ φωτίσαι αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδόν, ἐν πορεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ. 12 καὶ ἐν στύλῳ νεφέλης ὡδήγησας αὐτοὺς ἡμέρας καὶ ἐν στύλῳ πυρὸς τὴν νύκτα τοῦ φωτίσαι αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδόν, ἐν πορεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ.
12 And by day, you led them with a pillar of cloud; and by night, with a pillar of fire, to illuminate the way for them in which they should go in it. 12 And by day, you led them with a pillar of cloud; and by night, with a pillar of fire, to illuminate the way for them in which they should go in it.

13 You came down also upon mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:

וְעַ֤ל הַר־סִינַי֙ יָרַ֔דְתָּ וְדַבֵּ֥ר עִמָּהֶ֖ם מִשָּׁמָ֑יִם וַתִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֜ם מִשְׁפָּטִ֤ים יְשָׁרִים֙ וְתֹורֹ֣ות אֱמֶ֔ת חֻקִּ֥ים וּמִצְוֹ֖ת טֹובִֽים׃

13 καὶ ἐπὶ ὄρος Σινᾶ κατέβης καὶ ἐλάλησας πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς κρίματα εὐθέα καὶ νόμους ἀληθείας, προστάγματα καὶ ἐντολὰς ἀγαθάς. 13 καὶ ἐπὶ ὄρος Σινὰ κατέβης καὶ ἐλάλησας πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐξ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς κρίματα εὐθέα καὶ νόμους ἀληθείας, προστάγματα καὶ ἐντολὰς ἀγαθάς·
13 Also you came down upon mount Sina, and you spoke to them out of heaven, and gave them straightforward judgments, and laws of truth, ordinances, and good commandments. 13 Also you came down upon mount Sina, and you spoke to them out of heaven, and gave them straightforward judgments, and laws of truth, ordinances, and good commandments.

14 And made known unto them your holy sabbath, and commanded them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses your servant:

וְאֶת־שַׁבַּ֥ת קָדְשְׁךָ֖ הֹודַ֣עַתָ לָהֶ֑ם וּמִצְוֹ֤ות וְחֻקִּים֙ וְתֹורָ֔ה צִוִּ֣יתָ לָהֶ֔ם בְּיַ֖ד מֹשֶׁ֥ה עַבְדֶּֽךָ׃

14 καὶ τὸ σάββατόν σου τὸ ἅγιον ἐγνώρισας αὐτοῖς, ἐντολὰς καὶ προστάγματα καὶ νόμον ἐνετείλω αὐτοῖς ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῇ δούλου σου. 14 καὶ τὸ σάββατόν σου τὸ ἅγιον ἐγνώρισας αὐτοῖς, ἐντολὰς καὶ προστάγματα καὶ νόμον ἐνετείλω αὐτοῖς ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ δούλου σου.
14 And you revealed to them your sacred sabbath; you commanded upon them commandments, and ordinances, and law, by the hand of your slave Mōysē. 14 And you revealed to them your sacred sabbath; you commanded upon them commandments, and ordinances, and law, by the hand of your slave Mōysē.

15 And gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promised those that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.

וְ֠לֶחֶם מִשָּׁמַ֜יִם נָתַ֤תָּה לָהֶם֙ לִרְעָבָ֔ם וּמַ֗יִם מִסֶּ֛לַע הֹוצֵ֥אתָ לָהֶ֖ם לִצְמָאָ֑ם וַתֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֗ם לָבֹוא֙ לָרֶ֣שֶׁת אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־נָשָׂ֥אתָ אֶת־יָדְךָ֖ לָתֵ֥ת לָהֶֽם׃

15 καὶ ἄρτον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς εἰς σιτοδείαν αὐτῶν καὶ ὕδωρ ἐκ πέτρας ἐξήνεγκας αὐτοῖς εἰς δίψαν αὐτῶν.
καὶ εἶπας αὐτοῖς εἰσελθεῖν κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν, ἐφ’ ἣν ἐξέτεινας τὴν χεῖρά σου δοῦναι αὐτοῖς.
15 καὶ ἄρτον ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς εἰς σιτοδοτίαν αὐτῶν καὶ ὕδωρ ἐκ πέτρας ἐξήνεγκας αὐτοῖς εἰς δίψαν αὐτῶν.

15 And you gave them bread from heaven for their famine, and you brought out water for them from a rock for their thirst; and you told them to go in to inherit the land over which you stretched out your hand to give them. 15 And you gave them bread from heaven for their famine, and you brought out water for them from a rock for their thirst; and you told them to go in to inherit the land over which you stretched out your hand to give them.

16 But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and didn’t listen to your commandments,

וְהֵ֥ם וַאֲבֹתֵ֖ינוּ הֵזִ֑ידוּ וַיַּקְשׁוּ֙ אֶת־עָרְפָּ֔ם וְלֹ֥א שָׁמְע֖וּ אֶל־מִצְוֹתֶֽיךָ׃

16 καὶ αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ὑπερηφανεύσαντο καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν τῶν ἐντολῶν σου· 16 καὶ αὐτοὶ καὶ οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ὑπερηφανεύσαντο καὶ ἐσκλήρυναν τὸν τράχηλον αὐτῶν καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν τῶν ἐντολῶν σου·
16 But they and our fathers behaved arrogantly, and hardened their neck, and didn’t listen to your commandments, 16 But they and our fathers behaved arrogantly, and hardened their neck, and didn’t listen to your commandments,

17 And refused to obey, neither were mindful of your wonders that you did among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and didn’t forsake them.

וַיְמָאֲנ֣וּ לִשְׁמֹ֗עַ וְלֹא־זָכְר֤וּ נִפְלְאֹתֶ֙יךָ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשִׂ֣יתָ עִמָּהֶ֔ם וַיַּקְשׁוּ֙ אֶת־עָרְפָּ֔ם וַיִּתְּנוּ־רֹ֛אשׁ לָשׁ֥וּב לְעַבְדֻתָ֖ם בְּמִרְיָ֑ם וְאַתָּה֩ אֱלֹ֨והַּ סְלִיחֹ֜ות חַנּ֧וּן וְרַח֛וּם אֶֽרֶךְ־אַפַּ֥יִם וְרַב־ וְלֹ֥א עֲזַבְתָּֽם׃

καὶ σὺ θεὸς ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων, μακρόθυμος καὶ πολυέλεος, καὶ οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτούς.

17 and they refused to obey, and didn’t remember your wonders which you did with them; and they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return into their slavery in Aigypt. But you, Oh God, are merciful and compassionate, patient, and very merciful, and you didn’t forsake them. 17 and they refused to obey, and didn’t remember your wonders which you did with them; and they hardened their neck, and appointed a leader to return into their slavery in Aigypt.

18 Yes, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is your God that brought you up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;

אַ֗ף כִּֽי־עָשׂ֤וּ לָהֶם֙ עֵ֣גֶל מַסֵּכָ֔ה וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ זֶ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֶעֶלְךָ֖ מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֔וּ נֶאָצֹ֖ות גְּדֹלֹֽות׃

18 ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς μόσχον χωνευτὸν καὶ εἶπαν Οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ οἱ ἐξαγαγόντες ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἐποίησαν παροργισμοὺς μεγάλους. 18 ἔτι δὲ καὶ ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς μόσχον χωνευτὸν καὶ εἶπαν· οὗτοι οἱ θεοὶ οἱ ἐξαγαγόντες ἡμᾶς ἐξ Αἰγύπτου· καὶ ἐποίησαν παροργισμοὺς μεγάλους.
18 Furthermore, they made a molten bull calf for themselves, and said, ‛ These are the gods that brought us up out of Aigypt. And they performed great provocations. ’ 18 Furthermore, they made a molten bull calf for themselves, and said, ‛ These are the gods that brought us up out of Aigypt. And they performed great provocations. ’

19 Yet you in your manifold mercies didn’t forsake them in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud didn’t depart from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.

וְאַתָּה֙ בְּרַחֲמֶ֣יךָ הָֽרַבִּ֔ים לֹ֥א עֲזַבְתָּ֖ם בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר אֶת־עַמּ֣וּד הֶ֠עָנָן לֹא־סָ֨ר מֵעֲלֵיהֶ֤ם בְּיֹומָם֙ לְהַנְחֹתָ֣ם בְּהַדֶּ֔רֶךְ וְאֶת־עַמּ֨וּד הָאֵ֤שׁ בְּלַ֙יְלָה֙ לְהָאִ֣יר לָהֶ֔ם וְאֶת־הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֵֽלְכוּ־בָֽהּ׃

19 καὶ σὺ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς πολλοῖς οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· τὸν στῦλον τῆς νεφέλης οὐκ ἐξέκλινας ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ἡμέρας ὁδηγῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ τὸν στῦλον τοῦ πυρὸς τὴν νύκτα φωτίζειν αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδόν, ἐν πορεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ. 19 καὶ σὺ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς πολλοῖς οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, τὸν στύλον τῆς νεφέλης οὐκ ἐξέκλινας ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ἡμέρας ὁδηγῆσαι αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ καὶ τὸν στύλον τοῦ πυρὸς τὴν νύκτα, φωτίζειν αὐτοῖς τὴν ὁδόν, ἐν πορεύσονται ἐν αὐτῇ.
19 And in your great mercies, you didn’t forsake them in the wilderness. You didn’t turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day to lead them in the way, nor the pillar of fire for them to illuminate the way in which they should go at night. 19 And in your great mercies, you didn’t forsake them in the wilderness. You didn’t turn away from them the pillar of the cloud by day to lead them in the way, nor the pillar of fire for them to illuminate the way in which they should go at night.

20 You gave also your good spirit to instruct them, and didn’t withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.

וְרוּחֲךָ֨ הַטֹּובָ֔ה נָתַ֖תָּ לְהַשְׂכִּילָ֑ם וּמַנְךָ֙ לֹא־מָנַ֣עְתָּ מִפִּיהֶ֔ם וּמַ֛יִם נָתַ֥תָּה לָהֶ֖ם לִצְמָאָֽם׃


21 Yes, 40 years you sustained them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes didn’t grow old, and their feet didn’t swell.

וְאַרְבָּעִ֥ים שָׁנָ֛ה כִּלְכַּלְתָּ֥ם בַּמִּדְבָּ֖ר לֹ֣א חָסֵ֑רוּ שַׂלְמֹֽתֵיהֶם֙ לֹ֣א בָל֔וּ וְרַגְלֵיהֶ֖ם לֹ֥א בָצֵֽקוּ׃


22 Moreover you gave them kingdoms and nations, and divided them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.

וַתִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֤ם מַמְלָכֹות֙ וַעֲמָמִ֔ים וַֽתַּחְלְקֵ֖ם לְפֵאָ֑ה וַיִּֽירְשׁ֞וּ אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ סִיחֹ֗ון וְאֶת־אֶ֙רֶץ֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ חֶשְׁבֹּ֔ון וְאֶת־אֶ֖רֶץ עֹ֥וג מֶֽלֶךְ־הַבָּשָֽׁן׃

22 καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς βασιλείας καὶ λαοὺς καὶ διεμέρισας αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν γῆν Σηὼν βασιλέως Ἐσεβὼν καὶ τὴν γῆν Ὢγ βασιλέως τοῦ Βασάν. 22 καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς βασιλείας καὶ λαοὺς ἐμέρισας αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν γῆν Σηὼν βασιλέως Ἐσεβὼν καὶ τὴν γῆν Ὢγ βασιλέως τοῦ Βασάν.
22 And you gave kingdoms to them, and allocated peoples to them; and they took possession of the land of Sēōn king of Esebōn, and the land of Ōg king of Basan. 22 And you gave kingdoms to them, and allocated peoples to them; and they took possession of the land of Sēōn king of Esebōn, and the land of Ōg king of Basan.

23 Their children you also multiplied as the stars of heaven, and brought them into the land, concerning which you had promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

וּבְנֵיהֶ֣ם הִרְבִּ֔יתָ כְּכֹכְבֵ֖י הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וַתְּבִיאֵם֙ אֶל־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־אָמַ֥רְתָּ לַאֲבֹתֵיהֶ֖ם לָבֹ֥וא לָרָֽשֶׁת׃

23 καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐπλήθυνας ὡς τοὺς ἀστέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ εἰσήγαγες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν εἶπας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν αὐτήν. 23 καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν ἐπλήθυνας ὡς τοὺς ἀστέρας τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ εἰσήγαγες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν γῆν, ἣν εἶπας τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν αὐτήν.
23 And you multiplied their sons like the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land about which you spoke to their fathers, and they possessed it. 23 And you multiplied their sons like the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land about which you spoke to their fathers, and they possessed it.

24 So the children went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.

24 καὶ ἐξέτριψας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς λαοὺς τῆς γῆς ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς ὡς ἀρεστὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν. 24 καὶ ἐξέτριψας ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς λαοὺς τῆς γῆς ποιῆσαι αὐτοῖς ὡς ἀρεστὸν ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν.
24 And you wiped out from before them the inhabitants of the land of the Chananites; and into their hands, you gave them and their kings and the peoples of the land, to do to them as it was pleasing before them. 24 And you wiped out from before them the inhabitants of the land of the Chananites; and into their hands, you gave them and their kings and the peoples of the land, to do to them as it was pleasing before them.

25 And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells dug, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in your great goodness.

25 And they seized lofty cities, and took possesion of houses full of all good things, cisterns having been dug out, vineyards, and olive orchards, and every fruit tree in abundance. They ate, were filled, grew fat, and were nourished by your great goodness. 25 And they seized lofty cities, and took possesion of houses full of all good things, cisterns having been dug out, vineyards, and olive orchards, and every fruit tree in abundance. They ate, were filled, grew fat, and were nourished by your great goodness.

26 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against you, and cast your law behind their backs, and slew your prophets who testified against them to turn them to you, and they wrought great provocations.

וַיַּמְר֨וּ וַֽיִּמְרְד֜וּ בָּ֗ךְ וַיַּשְׁלִ֤כוּ אֶת־תֹּורָֽתְךָ֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י גַוָּ֔ם וְאֶת־נְבִיאֶ֣יךָ הָרָ֔גוּ אֲשֶׁר־הֵעִ֥ידוּ בָ֖ם לַהֲשִׁיבָ֣ם אֵלֶ֑יךָ וַֽיַּעֲשׂ֔וּ נֶאָצֹ֖ות גְּדֹולֹֽת׃


27 Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto you, you heard them from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

וַֽתִּתְּנֵם֙ בְּיַ֣ד צָֽרֵיהֶ֔ם וַיָּצֵ֖רוּ לָהֶ֑ם וּבְעֵ֤ת צָֽרָתָם֙ יִצְעֲק֣וּ אֵלֶ֔יךָ וְאַתָּה֙ מִשָּׁמַ֣יִם תִּשְׁמָ֔ע וּֽכְרַחֲמֶ֣יךָ הָֽרַבִּ֗ים תִּתֵּ֤ן לָהֶם֙ מֹֽושִׁיעִ֔ים וְיֹושִׁיע֖וּם מִיַּ֥ד צָרֵיהֶֽם׃

27 καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ θλιβόντων αὐτούς, καὶ ἔθλιψαν αὐτούς· καὶ ἀνεβόησαν πρὸς σὲ ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως αὐτῶν, καὶ σὺ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ σου ἤκουσας καὶ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς μεγάλοις ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς σωτῆρας καὶ ἔσωσας αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς θλιβόντων αὐτούς. 27 καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ θλιβόντων αὐτούς, καὶ ἔθλιψαν αὐτούς· καὶ ἀνεβόησαν πρός σε ἐν καιρῷ θλίψεως αὐτῶν, καὶ σὺ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ σου ἤκουσας καὶ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς μεγάλοις ἔδωκας αὐτοῖς σωτῆρας καὶ ἔσωσας αὐτοὺς ἐκ χειρὸς θλιβόντων αὐτούς.
27 And you gave them into the hand of those who oppressed them, and they oppressed them. And they cried out to you in the time of their oppression, and you heard them from your heaven, and in your great mercies you gave them deliverers, and delivered them from the hand of those who oppressed them. 27 And you gave them into the hand of those who oppressed them, and they oppressed them. And they cried out to you in the time of their oppression, and you heard them from your heaven, and in your great mercies you gave them deliverers, and delivered them from the hand of those who oppressed them.

28 But after they had rest, they did evil again before you: therefore you left them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto you, you heard them from heaven; and many times did you deliver them according to your mercies;

28 καὶ ὡς ἀνεπαύσαντο, ἐπέστρεψαν ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιόν σου· καὶ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ κατῆρξαν ἐν αὐτοῖς.
καὶ πάλιν ἀνεβόησαν πρὸς σέ, καὶ σὺ ἐξ οὐρανοῦ εἰσήκουσας καὶ ἐρρύσω αὐτοὺς ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου πολλοῖς.

28 But after they rested, they returned to do the evil before you. And you left them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them. And they cried out to you again, and you heard them from heaven, and rescued them by your great mercies. 28 But after they rested, they returned to do the evil before you. And you left them in the hands of their enemies, and they ruled over them. And they cried out to you again, and you heard them from heaven, and rescued them by your great mercies.

29 And testified against them, that you might bring them again unto your law: yet they dealt proudly, and didn’t listen unto your commandments, but sinned against your judgments, (which if a man does, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

וַתָּ֨עַד בָּהֶ֜ם לַהֲשִׁיבָ֣ם אֶל־תֹּורָתֶ֗ךָ וְהֵ֨מָּה הֵזִ֜ידוּ וְלֹא־שָׁמְע֤וּ לְמִצְוֹתֶ֙יךָ֙ וּבְמִשְׁפָּטֶ֣יךָ חָֽטְאוּ־בָ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה אָדָ֖ם וְחָיָ֣ה בָהֶ֑ם וַיִּתְּנ֤וּ כָתֵף֙ סֹורֶ֔רֶת וְעָרְפָּ֥ם הִקְשׁ֖וּ וְלֹ֥א שָׁמֵֽעוּ׃

29 καὶ ἐπεμαρτύρω αὐτοῖς ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν νόμον σου, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν, ἀλλὰ ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς κρίμασί σου ἡμάρτοσαν, ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔδωκαν νῶτον ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ τράχηλον αὐτῶν ἐσκλήρυναν καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν. 29 καὶ ἐπεμαρτύρω αὐτοῖς ἐπιστρέψαι αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν νόμον σου, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν, ἀλλ’ ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου καὶ κρίμασί σου ἡμάρτοσαν, ποιήσας αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔδωκαν νῶτον ἀπειθοῦντα καὶ τράχηλον αὐτῶν ἐσκλήρυναν καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν.
29 And you sternly warned them, to bring them back to your law. And they didn’t listen, but sinned against your commandments and your judgments, when a man does them, he will live by them. And they turned their back, and kept being disobedient and hardened their neck, and didn’t listen. 29 And you sternly warned them, to bring them back to your law. And they didn’t listen, but sinned against your commandments and your judgments, when a man does them, he will live by them. And they turned their back, and kept being disobedient and hardened their neck, and didn’t listen.

30 Yet many years did you forbear them, and testified against them by your spirit in your prophets: yet they wouldn’t give ear: therefore you gave them into the hand of the people of the lands.

וַתִּמְשֹׁ֤ךְ עֲלֵיהֶם֙ שָׁנִ֣ים רַבֹּ֔ות וַתָּ֨עַד בָּ֧ם בְּרוּחֲךָ֛ בְּיַד־נְבִיאֶ֖יךָ וְלֹ֣א הֶאֱזִ֑ינוּ וַֽתִּתְּנֵ֔ם בְּיַ֖ד עַמֵּ֥י הָאֲרָצֹֽת׃

30 καὶ εἵλκυσας ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἔτη πολλὰ καὶ ἐπεμαρτύρω αὐτοῖς ἐν πνεύματί σου ἐν χειρὶ προφητῶν σου· καὶ οὐκ ἠνωτίσαντο, καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ λαῶν τῆς γῆς. 30 καὶ εἵλκυσας ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς ἔτη πολλὰ καὶ ἐπεμαρτύρω αὐτοῖς ἐν πνεύματί σου ἐν χειρὶ προφητῶν σου· καὶ οὐκ ἠνωτίσαντο, καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ λαῶν τῆς γῆς.
30 And for many years, you tolerated them and severely warned them by the hand of your prophets. But they didn’t listen, so you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the land. 30 And for many years, you tolerated them and severely warned them by the hand of your prophets. But they didn’t listen, so you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the land.

31 Nevertheless for your great mercies’ sake you didn’t utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.

וּֽבְרַחֲמֶ֧יךָ הָרַבִּ֛ים לֹֽא־עֲשִׂיתָ֥ם כָּלָ֖ה וְלֹ֣א עֲזַבְתָּ֑ם כִּ֛י אֵֽל־חַנּ֥וּן וְרַח֖וּם אָֽתָּה׃

31 καὶ σὺ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς πολλοῖς οὐκ ἐποίησας αὐτοὺς συντέλειαν καὶ οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτούς, ὅτι ἰσχυρὸς εἶ καὶ ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων. 31 καὶ σὺ ἐν οἰκτιρμοῖς σου τοῖς πολλοῖς οὐκ ἐποίησας αὐτοὺς συντέλειαν καὶ οὐκ ἐγκατέλιπες αὐτούς, ὅτι ἰσχυρὸς εἶ καὶ ἐλεήμων καὶ οἰκτίρμων.
31 And in your many mercies, you didn’t make an end of them, and didn’t forsake them; because you are strong, and merciful, and compassionate. 31 And in your many mercies, you didn’t make an end of them, and didn’t forsake them; because you are strong, and merciful, and compassionate.

32 Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keeps covenant and mercy, don’t let all the trouble seem little before you, that has come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

וְעַתָּ֣ה אֱ֠לֹהֵינוּ הָאֵ֨ל הַגָּדֹ֜ול הַגִּבֹּ֣ור וְהַנֹּורָא֮ שֹׁומֵ֣ר הַבְּרִ֣ית וְהַחֶסֶד֒ אַל־יִמְעַ֣ט לְפָנֶ֡יךָ אֵ֣ת כָּל־הַתְּלָאָ֣ה אֲֽשֶׁר־מְ֠צָאַתְנוּ לִמְלָכֵ֨ינוּ לְשָׂרֵ֧ינוּ וּלְכֹהֲנֵ֛ינוּ וְלִנְבִיאֵ֥נוּ וְלַאֲבֹתֵ֖ינוּ וּלְכָל־עַמֶּ֑ךָ מִימֵי֙ מַלְכֵ֣י אַשּׁ֔וּר עַ֖ד הַיֹּ֥ום הַזֶּֽה׃

32 καὶ νῦν, θεὸς ἡμῶν ἰσχυρὸς μέγας κραταιὸς καὶ φοβερὸς φυλάσσων τὴν διαθήκην σου καὶ τὸ ἔλεός σου, μὴ ὀλιγωθήτω ἐνώπιόν σου πᾶς μόχθος, ὃς εὗρεν ἡμᾶς καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς προφήτας ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ σου ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν βασιλέων Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης. 32 καὶ νῦν, Θεὸς ἡμῶν ἰσχυρός, μέγας, κραταιὸς καὶ φοβερός, φυλάσσων τὴν διαθήκην σου καὶ τὸ ἔλεός σου, μὴ ὀλιγωθήτω ἐνώπιόν σου πᾶς μόχθος, ὃς εὗρεν ἡμᾶς καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς προφήτας ἡμῶν καὶ τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ λαῷ σου ἀπὸ ἡμερῶν βασιλέων Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.
32 And now, Oh our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the fearsome, keeping your covenant and your mercy, don’t let all the trouble seem little before you which has found us, and our kings, and our rulers, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and among all your people, from the days of the kings of Assour even until this day. 32 And now, Oh our God, the powerful, the great, the mighty, and the fearsome, keeping your covenant and your mercy, don’t let all the trouble seem little before you which has found us, and our kings, and our rulers, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and among all your people, from the days of the kings of Assour even until this day.

33 However you are just in all that is brought upon us; for you have done right, but we have done wickedly:

וְאַתָּ֣ה צַדִּ֔יק עַ֖ל כָּל־הַבָּ֣א עָלֵ֑ינוּ כִּֽי־אֱמֶ֥ת עָשִׂ֖יתָ וַאֲנַ֥חְנוּ הִרְשָֽׁעְנוּ׃

33 And you are righteous in all the things that come upon us; because you have dealt faithfully, but we did wrong. 33 And you are righteous in all the things that come upon us; because you have dealt faithfully, but we did wrong.

34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept your law, nor listened unto your commandments and your testimonies, with which you testified against them.

וְאֶת־מְלָכֵ֤ינוּ שָׂרֵ֙ינוּ֙ כֹּהֲנֵ֣ינוּ וַאֲבֹתֵ֔ינוּ לֹ֥א עָשׂ֖וּ תֹּורָתֶ֑ךָ וְלֹ֤א הִקְשִׁ֙יבוּ֙ אֶל־מִצְוֹתֶ֔יךָ וּלְעֵ֣דְוֹתֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הַעִידֹ֖תָ בָּהֶֽם׃

34 And our kings, our rulers, our priests, and our fathers haven’t performed your law, and haven’t paid attention to your commandments, and your testimonies which you severely warned them. 34 And our kings, our rulers, our priests, and our fathers haven’t performed your law, and haven’t paid attention to your commandments, and your testimonies which you severely warned them.

35 For they haven’t served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and fat land which you gave before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.

וְהֵ֣ם בְּמַלְכוּתָם֩ וּבְטוּבְךָ֨ הָרָ֜ב אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֣תָּ לָהֶ֗ם וּבְאֶ֨רֶץ הָרְחָבָ֧ה וְהַשְּׁמֵנָ֛ה אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥תָּ לִפְנֵיהֶ֖ם לֹ֣א עֲבָד֑וּךָ וְֽלֹא־שָׁ֔בוּ מִמַּֽעַלְלֵיהֶ֖ם הָרָעִֽים׃

35 And they were not subject to you in your kingdom and in your great goodness which you gave to them and in the wide and rich land which you presented before them. And they didn’t turn from their evil habits. 35 And they were not subject to you in your kingdom and in your great goodness which you gave to them and in the wide and rich land which you presented before them. And they didn’t turn from their evil habits.

36 Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that you gave unto our fathers to eat the fruit of it and the good of it, behold, we are servants in it:

36 Behold, we are slaves today, and the land which you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit; 36 Behold, we are slaves today, and the land which you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit, and the its good things, behold we are slaves upon it.

37 And it yields much increase unto the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

וּתְבוּאָתָ֣הּ מַרְבָּ֗ה לַמְּלָכִ֛ים אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֥תָּה עָלֵ֖ינוּ בְּחַטֹּאותֵ֑ינוּ וְעַ֣ל גְּ֠וִיֹּתֵינוּ מֹשְׁלִ֤ים וּבִבְהֶמְתֵּ֙נוּ֙ כִּרְצֹונָ֔ם וּבְצָרָ֥ה גְדֹולָ֖ה אֲנָֽחְנוּ׃

37 is abundant for the kings whom you appointed over us because of our sins; and they have authority over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.” 37 and its fruit is abundant for the kings whom you appointed over us because of our sins; and they have authority over our bodies, and over our cattle, as it pleases them, and we are in great affliction.”

38 [LXX=10:1] And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
