4. 4

   Sound the trumpet at the new moon, on the noteworthy day of your solemnity,

   Buccinate in neomenia tuba, in insigni die solemnitatis vestræ:

6. 6

   He set it as a testimony with Joseph, when he went out of the land of Egypt. He heard a tongue that he did not know.

   Testimonium in Joseph posuit illud, cum exiret de terra Ægypti; linguam quam non noverat, audivit.

7. 7

   He turned the burdens away from his back. His hands had been a slave to baskets.

8. 8

   You called upon me in tribulation, and I freed you. I heard you within the hidden tempest. I tested you with waters of contradiction.†

   In tribulatione invocasti me, et liberavi te. Exaudivi te in abscondito tempestatis; probavi te apud aquam contradictionis.

9. 9

   My people, listen and I will call you to testify. If, O Israel, you will pay heed to me,

   Audi, populus meus, et contestabor te. Israël, si audieris me,

10. 10

    then there will be no new god among you, nor will you adore a foreign god.

    non erit in te deus recens, neque adorabis deum alienum.

11. 11

    For I am the Lord your God, who led you out of the land of Egypt. Widen your mouth, and I will fill it.

14. 14

    If my people had heard me, if Israel had walked in my ways,

    Si populus meus audisset me, Israël si in viis meis ambulasset,

15. 15

    I would have humbled their enemies, as if it were nothing, and I would have sent my hand upon those who troubled them.

    pro nihilo forsitan inimicos eorum humiliassem, et super tribulantes eos misissem manum meam.

16. 16

    The enemies of the Lord have lied to him, and their time will come, in every age.†

    Inimici Domini mentiti sunt ei, et erit tempus eorum in sæcula.

17. 17

    And he fed them from the fat of the grain, and he saturated them with honey from the rock.

    Et cibavit eos ex adipe frumenti, et de petra melle saturavit eos.
