1. 1

   בְּעִדָנָא הַהִיא אֲמַר יְיָ לִי פְּסַל לָךְ תְּרֵין לוּחֵי אַבְנַיָא כְּקַדְמָאֵי וְסַק לָקֳדָמַי לְטּוּרָא וְתַעְבֵּד לָךְ אֲרוֹנָא דְאָעָא

   At that time the LORD said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, come up to Me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

2. 2

   וְאֶכְתּוֹב עַל לוּחַיָא יָת פִּתְגָמַיָא דִי הֲווֹ עַל לוּחַיָא קַדְמָאֵי דִי תְבַרְתָּא וּתְשַׁוִנוּן בַּאֲרוֹנָא

   And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you are to place them in the ark.”

3. 3

   וַעֲבָדִית אֲרוֹנָא דְאָעֵי שִׁטִּין וּפְסָלִית תְּרֵין לוּחֵי אַבְנַיָא כְּקַדְמָאֵי וּסְלֵקִית לְטוּרָא וּתְרֵין לוּחַיָא בִּידִי

   So I made an ark of acacia wood, chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals, and went up the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.

4. 4

   וּכְתַב עַל לוּחַיָא כִּכְתָבָא קַדְמָאָה יָת עַשְׂרָא פִתְגָמַיָא דִי מַלִיל יְיָ עִמְכוֹן בְּטוּרָא מִגוֹ אֶשְׁתָא בְּיוֹמָא דִקְהָלָא וִיהָבִנוּן יְיָ לִי

   And the LORD wrote on the tablets what had been written previously, the Ten Commandments that He had spoken to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the assembly. The LORD gave them to me,

5. 5

   וְאִתְפְּנֵיתִי וּנְחָתִית מִן טוּרָא וְשַׁוֵיתִי יָת לוּחַיָא בַּאֲרוֹנָא דִי עֲבָדִית וַהֲווֹ תַמָן כְּמָא דִי פַקְדַנִי יְיָ

   and I went back down the mountain and placed the tablets in the ark I had made, as the LORD had commanded me; and there they have remained.

6. 6

   וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל נְטָלוּ מִבְּאֵרוֹת בְּנֵי יַעֲקָן לְמוֹסֵרָה תַּמָן מִית אַהֲרֹן וְאִתְקְבַר תַּמָן וְשַׁמֵשׁ אֶלְעָזָר בְּרֵהּ תְּחוֹתוֹהִי

   The Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him as priest.

7. 7

   מִתַּמָן נְטָּלוּ לְגֻדְגֹד וּמִן גֻדְגֹד לְיָטְבָת אַרְעָא נָגְדָא נַחֲלִין דְמַיִין

   From there they traveled to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.

8. 8

   בְּעִדָנָא הַהִיא אַפְרֵשׁ יְיָ יָת שִׁבְטָּא דְלֵוִי לְמִטַל יָת אֲרוֹן קְיָמָא דַיְיָ לְמֵיקַם קֳדָם יְיָ לְשַׁמָשׁוּתֵהּ וּלְבָרָכָא בִשְׁמֵהּ עַד יוֹמָא הָדֵין

   At that time the LORD set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to serve Him, and to pronounce blessings in His name, as they do to this day.

9. 9

   עַל כֵּן לָא הֲּוָה לְלֵוִי חֳלָק וְאַחֲסָנָא עִם אֲחוֹהִי מַתְּנָן דִיהַב לֵהּ יְיָ אִנוּן אַחֲסַנְתֵּהּ כְּמָא דִי מַלִיל יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לֵהּ

   That is why Levi has no portion or inheritance among his brothers; the LORD is his inheritance, as the LORD your God promised him.

10. 10

    וַאֲנָא הֲוֵיתִי קָאֵם בְּטוּרָא כְּיוֹמִין קַדְמָאִין אַרְבְּעִין יְמָמִין וְאַרְבְּעִין לֵילָוָן וְקַבִּיל יְיָ צְלוֹתִי אַף בְּזִמְנָא הַהוּא לָא אָבֵי יְיָ לְחַבָּלוּתָךְ

    I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, like the first time, and that time the LORD again listened to me and agreed not to destroy you.

11. 11

    וַאֲמַר יְיָ לִי קוּם זִיל לְמִטוּל קֳדָם עַמָא וְיֵעֲלוּן וְיֵרְתוּן יָת אַרְעָא דִי קַיֵמִית לַאֲבָהָתְהוֹן לְמִתַּן לְהוֹן

    Then the LORD said to me, “Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, that they may enter and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give them.”

12. 12

    וּכְעַן יִשְׂרָאֵל מָה יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ תָּבַע מִנָךְ אֱלָהֵן לְמִדְחַל קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לִמְהַךְ בְּכָל אָרְחָן דְתָקְנָן קֳדָמוֹהִי וּלְמִרְחַם יָתֵהּ וּלְמִפְלַח קֳדָם יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ בְּכָל לִבָּךְ וּבְכָל נַפְשָׁךְ

    And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

13. 13

    לְמִטַר יָת פִּקוֹדַיָא דַיְיָ וְיָת קְיָמוֹהִי דַאֲנָא מְפַקְדָךְ יוֹמָא דֵין לִדְיֵיטַב לָךְ

    and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD that I am giving you this day for your own good?

14. 14

    הָא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ שְׁמַיָא וּשְׁמֵי שְׁמַיָא אַרְעָא וְכָל דִי בַהּ

    Behold, to the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it.

15. 15

    לְחוֹד בַּאֲבָהָתָךְ צָבֵי יְיָ לְמִרְחַם יָתְהוֹן וְאִתִּרְעֵי בִּבְנֵיהוֹן בַּתְרֵיהוֹן בְּכוֹן מִכָּל עַמְמַיָא כְּיוֹמָא הָדֵין

    Yet the LORD has set His affection on your fathers and loved them. And He has chosen you, their descendants after them, above all the peoples, even to this day.

16. 16

    וְתֶעְדוּן יָת טַפְשׁוּת לִבְּכוֹן וּקְדָלְכוֹן לָא תַקְשׁוּן עוֹד

    Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and stiffen your necks no more.

17. 17

    אֲרֵי יְיָ אֱלָהֲכוֹן הוּא אֱלָהָא דַיָנִין וּמָרֵי מַלְכִין אֱלָהָא רַבָּא גִבָּרָא וּדְחִילָא דִי לֵית קֳדָמוֹהִי מִסַב אַפִּין וְאַף לָא לְקַבָּלָא שָׁחְדָא

    For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.

18. 18

    עָבֵד דִין יִתַּם וְאַרְמְלָא וְרָחֵם גִיוֹרָא לְמִתַּן לֵהּ מְזוֹנָא וּכְסוּ

    He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and He loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing.

19. 19

    וְתִרְחֲמוּן יָת גִיוֹרָא אֲרֵי דַיָרִין הֲוֵיתוּן בְּאַרְעָא דְמִצְרָיִם

    So you also must love the foreigner, since you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.

20. 20

    יָת יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ תִּדְחַל וְקָדָמוֹהִי תִפְלָח וּלְדַחַלְתֵּהּ תִּקְרַב וּבִשְׁמֵהּ תְּקַיַם

    You are to fear the LORD your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His name.

21. 21

    הוּא תֻשְׁבַּחְתָּךְ וְהוּא אֱלָהָךְ דַעֲבַד עִמָךְ יָת רַבְרְבָתָא וְיָת חֲסִינָתָא הָאִלֵין דִי חֲזוֹ עֵינָיךְ

    He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.

22. 22

    בְּשַׁבְעִין נַפְשָׁן נְחָתוּ אֲבָהָתָךְ לְמִצְרָיִם וּכְעַן שַׁוְיָךְ יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ כְּכוֹכְבֵי שְׁמַיָא לְמִסְגֵי

    Your fathers went down to Egypt, seventy in all, and now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.
