Y señalarás término al pueblo en derredor, diciendo: Guardaos, no subáis al monte, ni toquéis a su término: cualquiera que tocare el monte, de seguro morirá:
Fija límites alrededor para el pueblo y diles: “Tengan cuidado de no subir al monte ni tocar su borde. Cualquiera que toque el monte será condenado a muerte.
Tu fixeras au peuple des limites tout à l'entour, et tu diras: Gardez-vous de monter sur la montagne, ou d'en toucher le bord. Quiconque touchera la montagne sera puni de mort.
E tu poni de’ termini al popolo attorno attorno, dicendo: Guardatevi di salire al monte, o di toccar pur l’estremità di esso: chiunque toccherà il monte del tutto sarà fatto morire.
E marcarás limites ao povo em redor, dizendo: Guardai-vos, não subais ao monte, nem toqueis o seu termo; todo aquele que tocar o monte, certamente morrerá.
