Vallis autem ipsa ingens est valde, iacens subter latus montis Dei, quae habet forsitan, quantum potuimus videntes estimare aut ipsi dicebant, in longo milia passos forsitan sedecim, in lato autem quattuor milia esse appellabant.
For the valley itself is greatly vast, lying beneath the width of the mountain of God which it has perhaps, we were able to estimate how great by seeing or the locals were saying, perhaps 16 thousand paces in length, but they were calling in width to be 4 thousand.
Ipsam ergo vallem nos traversare habebamus ut possimus montem ingredi.
Therefore we had to cross the valley itself so that we might be able to walk the mountain.
Haec est autem vallis ingens et planissima in qua filii Israhel commorati sunt his diebus quod sanctus Moyses ascendit in montem Domini et fuit ibi quadraginta diebus et quadraginta noctibus.
For this is the vast valley and the most flat in which the sons of Israel lived during those days when the pious Moses ascended on the mountain of the Lord and had been there for 40 days and 40 nights.
Haec est autem vallis in qua factus est vitulus, qui locus usque in hodie ostenditur, nam lapis grandis ibi fixus stat in ipso loco.
This is the valley in which rituals had been made, that place showed continuously nowadays for the large jewel there fixed into the place it stands itself.
Haec ergo vallis ipsa est in cuius capite ille locus est ubi sanctus Moyses, cum pasceret pecora soceri sui, iterum locutus est ei Deus de rubo in igne.
Therefore this valley itself is of whom seized in that place where pious Moses, when he may be feeding the cattle of his own father-in-law, spoke about the bush on fire, the journey to the same God.
Et quoniam nobis ita erat iter ut prius montem Dei ascenderemus (quia hac parte unde veniebamus melior ascensus erat) et illinc denuo ad illud caput vallis descenderemus, id est ubi rubus erat, quia melior descensus montis Dei erat inde, itaque ergo hoc placuit, ut, visis omnibus quae desiderabamus, desendentes a monte Dei, ubi est rubus veniremus, et inde totum per mediam vallem ipsam, qua iacet in longo, rediremus ad iter cum hominibus Dei, qui nobis singula loca quae scripta sunt per ipsam vallem ostendebant. Sicut et factum est.
And because our route was such so that we might ascend the mountain of God earlier (because in that part from which we were coming it had been ascended better) and from there we might descend to that head of the valley, it is where the bush had been, since the descend from the mountain of God was better, and therefore it was pleasing after everything we were desiring, so that descending from the mountain of God, we might come where the bush is, and since entirely through the middle of the valley itself where it lies in length, we returned to the journey with the men of God, who were showing every place that are mentioned in the Scripture. And thus made it.
