Epístola de Barnabé 14

1Sim, mas vejamos se a aliança, que ele jurou aos pais que daria ao povo, foi dada.

1Yes, but let us see if the covenant, which he swore to the fathers to give to the people, was given.

2Ele a deu, mas eles não eram dignos de recebê-la por causa de seus pecados.

2He gave it, but they were not worthy to receive it because of their sins.

3Porque o profeta diz: E Moisés ficou jejuando no monte Sinai quarenta dias e quarenta noites.

3For the prophet says: And Moses was fasting on Mount Sinai forty days and forty nights.

4Para receber a aliança do Senhor para o povo.

4To receive the covenant of the Lord for the people.

5E Moisés recebeu do Senhor as duas tábuas escritas pelo dedo da mão do Senhor em espírito.

5And Moses received from the Lord the two tablets written by the finger of the hand of the Lord in spirit.

6E Moisés as tomou e as trouxe para dar ao povo.

6And Moses took them and brought them down to give to the people.

7Mas o Senhor disse a Moisés: Moisés, Moisés, desce depressa.

7But the Lord said to Moses: Moses, Moses, go down quickly.

8Porque teu povo, que tiraste da terra do Egito, praticou a iniquidade.

8For your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt, has practiced lawlessness.
