Liber Numeri, 15

1. Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

1. The LORD said to Moses,

2. “Loquere ad filios Israel et dices ad eos: Cum ingressi fueritis terram habitationis vestrae, quam ego dabo vobis,

2. "Say to the people of Israel, When you come into the land you are to inhabit, which I give you,

3. et feceritis oblationem Domino in holocaustum aut victimam vota solventes vel sponte offerentes munera aut in sollemnitatibus vestris adolentes odorem suavitatis Domino de bobus sive de ovibus,

3. and you offer to the LORD from the herd or from the flock an offering by fire or a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow or as a freewill offering or at your appointed feasts, to make a pleasing odor to the LORD,

4. offeret, quicumque immolaverit victimam, sacrificium similae decimam partem ephi conspersae oleo, quod mensuram habebit quartam partem hin,

4. then he who brings his offering shall offer to the LORD a cereal offering of a tenth of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil;

5. et vinum ad liba fundenda eiusdem mensurae dabit in holocaustum sive in victimam per agnos singulos.

5. and wine for the drink offering, a fourth of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.

6. Per arietes erit sacrificium similae duarum decimarum, quae conspersa sit oleo tertiae partis hin;

6. Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a cereal offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with a third of a hin of oil;

7. et vinum ad libamentum tertiae partis eiusdem mensurae offeret in odorem suavitatis Domino.

7. and for the drink offering you shall offer a third of a hin of wine, a pleasing odor to the LORD.

8. Quando vero de bobus feceris holocaustum aut hostiam, ut impleas votum vel pacificas victimas,

8. And when you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to fulfil a vow, or for peace offerings to the LORD,

9. dabis per singulos boves similae tres decimas conspersae oleo, quod habeat medium mensurae hin,

9. then one shall offer with the bull a cereal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mixed with half a hin of oil,

10. et vinum ad liba fundenda eiusdem mensurae in oblationem suavissimi odoris Domino.

10. and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, as an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the LORD.

11. Sic facies per singulos boves et arietes et agnos et capras.

11. "Thus it shall be done for each bull or ram, or for each of the male lambs or the kids.

12. Secundum numerum victimarum quas offeretis, ita facietis singulis secundum numerum earum.

12. According to the number that you prepare, so shall you do with every one according to their number.

13. Omnis indigena eodem ritu offeret sacrificium ignis in odorem suavitatis Domino.

13. All who are native shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the LORD.

14. Et omnis peregrinus, qui habitat vobiscum vel qui commoratur in medio vestri in omnibus generationibus vestris, offeret sacrificium ignis in odorem suavitatis Domino eodem modo sicut et vos.

14. And if a stranger is sojourning with you, or any one is among you throughout your generations, and he wishes to offer an offering by fire, a pleasing odor to the LORD, he shall do as you do.

15. Unum praeceptum erit tam vobis quam advenis pro omnibus generationibus vestris coram Domino.

15. For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the sojourner be before the LORD.

16. Una lex erit atque unum iudicium tam vobis quam advenis, qui vobiscum commorantur”.

16. One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you."

17. Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

17. The LORD said to Moses,

18. “Loquere filiis Israel et dices ad eos: Cum veneritis in terram, quam dabo vobis,

18. "Say to the people of Israel, When you come into the land to which I bring you

19. et comederitis de panibus regionis illius, separabitis donaria Domino

19. and when you eat of the food of the land, you shall present an offering to the LORD.

20. de pulmento placentam. Sicut de areis donaria separatis,

20. Of the first of your coarse meal you shall present a cake as an offering; as an offering from the threshing floor, so shall you present it.

21. ita et de pulmentis dabitis ea Domino.

21. Of the first of your coarse meal you shall give to the LORD an offering throughout your generations.

22. Quod si per ignorantiam praeterieritis quidquam horum, quae locutus est Dominus ad Moysen

22. "But if you err, and do not observe all these commandments which the LORD has spoken to Moses,

23. et mandavit per eum ad vos a die, qua coepit iubere et ultra ad generationes vestras,

23. all that the LORD has commanded you by Moses, from the day that the LORD gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations,

24. si longe ab oculis congregationis, offeret congregatio vitulum de armento, holocaustum in odorem placabilem Domino et oblationem ac liba eius, ut caeremoniae postulant, hircumque pro peccato.

24. then if it was done unwittingly without the knowledge of the congregation, all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, a pleasing odor to the LORD, with its cereal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

25. Et expiabit sacerdos pro omni congregatione filiorum Israel, et dimittetur eis, quoniam non sponte peccaverunt, nihilominus offerentes sacrificium ignis Domino pro se et pro peccato atque errore suo.

25. And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the people of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; because it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering by fire to the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their error.

26. Et dimittetur universae plebi filiorum Israel et advenis, qui peregrinantur inter eos, quoniam culpa est omnis populi per ignorantiam.

26. And all the congregation of the people of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who sojourns among them, because the whole population was involved in the error.

27. Quod si anima una nesciens peccaverit, offeret capram anniculam pro peccato suo.

27. "If one person sins unwittingly, he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.

28. Et expiabit pro ea sacerdos, quod inscia peccaverit coram Domino; expiabit pro ea, et dimittetur illi.

28. And the priest shall make atonement before the LORD for the person who commits an error, when he sins unwittingly, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

29. Tam indigenis quam advenis una lex erit omnium, qui peccaverint ignorantes.

29. You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native among the people of Israel, and for the stranger who sojourns among them.

30. Anima vero, quae per superbiam aliquid commiserit, sive civis sit ille sive peregrinus, quoniam adversus Dominum rebellis fuit, peribit de populo suo.

30. But the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, reviles the LORD, and that person shall be cut off from among his people.

31. Verbum enim Domini contempsit et praeceptum illius fecit irritum; idcirco delebitur et portabit iniquitatem suam”.

31. Because he has despised the word of the LORD, and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him."

32. Factum est autem, cum essent filii Israel in solitudine et invenissent hominem colligentem ligna in die sabbati,

32. While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.

33. obtulerunt eum Moysi et Aaron et universae congregationi,

33. And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.

34. qui recluserunt eum in carcerem nescientes quid super eo facere deberent.

34. They put him in custody, because it had not been made plain what should be done to him.

35. Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: “Morte moriatur homo iste; obruat eum lapidibus omnis turba extra castra”.

35. And the LORD said to Moses, "The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp."

36. Cumque eduxissent eum foras, obruerunt lapidibus; et mortuus est, sicut praeceperat Dominus.

36. And all the congregation brought him outside the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as the LORD commanded Moses.

37. Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen:

37. The LORD said to Moses,

38. “Loquere filiis Israel et dices ad eos, ut faciant sibi fimbrias per angulos palliorum ponentes in eis vittas hyacinthinas.

38. "Speak to the people of Israel, and bid them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put upon the tassel of each corner a cord of blue;

39. Quas cum videbitis, recordabimini omnium mandatorum Domini eaque facietis nec sequamini cogitationes vestras et oculos per res varias fornicantes,

39. and it shall be to you a tassel to look upon and remember all the commandments of the LORD, to do them, not to follow after your own heart and your own eyes, which you are inclined to go after wantonly.

40. sed magis memores omnium praeceptorum meorum faciatis ea sitisque sancti Deo vestro.

40. So you shall remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.

41. Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti, ut essem Deus vester. Ego Dominus Deus vester”.

41. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God."
