Liber Leviticus, 10

1. arreptisque Nadab et Abiu filii Aaron turibulis posuerunt ignem et incensum desuper offerentes coram Domino ignem alienum quod eis præceptum non erat

1. And Nadab and Abiu, the sons of Aaron, taking their censers, put fire therein, and incense on it, offering before the Lord strange fire: which was not commanded them.

2. egressusque ignis a Domino devoravit eos et mortui sunt coram Domino

2. And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them, and they died before the Lord.

3. dixitque Moses ad Aaron hoc est quod locutus est Dominus sanctificabor in his qui adpropinquant mihi et in conspectu omnis populi glorificabor quod audiens tacuit Aaron

3. And Moses said to Aaron: This is what the Lord hath spoken: I will be sanctified in them that approach to me, and I will be glorified in the sight of all the people. And when Aaron heard this, he held his peace.

4. vocatis autem Moses Misaël et Elsaphan filios Ozihel patrui Aaron ait ad eos ite et colligite fratres vestros de conspectu sanctuarii et asportate extra castra

4. And Moses called Misael and Elisaphan, the sons of Oziel, the uncle of Aaron, and said to them: Go and take away your brethren from before the sanctuary, and carry them without the camp.

5. confestimque pergentes tulerunt eos sicut jacebant vestitos lineis tunicis et ejecerunt foras ut sibi fuerat imperatum

5. And they went forthwith and took them as they lay, vested with linen tunicks, and cast them forth, as had been commanded them.

6. locutus est Moses ad Aaron et ad Eleazar atque Ithamar filios ejus capita vestra nolite nudare et vestimenta nolite scindere ne forte moriamini et super omnem cœtum oriatur indignatio fratres vestri et omnis domus Israël plangant incendium quod Dominus suscitavit

6. And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons: Uncover not your heads, and rend not your garments, lest perhaps you die, and indignation come upon all the congregation. Let your brethren, and all the house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord has kindled:

7. vos autem non egredimini fores tabernaculi alioquin peribitis oleum quippe sanctæ unctionis est super vos qui fecerunt omnia juxta præceptum Mosi

7. But you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle, otherwise you shall perish, for the oil of the holy unction is on you. And they did all things according to the precept of Moses.

8. dixit quoque Dominus ad Aaron

8. The Lord also said to Aaron:

9. vinum et omne quod inebriare potest non bibetis tu et filii tui quando intratis tabernaculum testimonii ne moriamini quia præceptum est sempiternum in generationes vestras

9. You shall not drink wine nor any thing that may make drunk, thou nor thy sons, when you enter into the tabernacle of the testimony, lest you die: because it is an everlasting precept through your generations :

10. et ut habeatis scientiam discernendi inter sanctum et profanum inter pollutum et mundum

10. And that you may have knowledge to discern between holy and unholy, between unclean and clean:

11. doceatisque filios Israël omnia legitima mea quæ locutus est Dominus ad eos per manum Mosi

11. And may teach the children of Israel all my ordinances which the Lord hath spoken to them by the hand of Moses.

12. locutusque est Moses ad Aaron et ad Eleazar atque Ithamar filios ejus qui residui erant tollite sacrificium quod remansit de oblatione Domini et comedite illud absque fermento juxta altare quia sanctum sanctorum est

12. And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons that were left: Take the sacrifice that is remaining of the oblation of the Lord, and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is holy of holies.

13. comedetis autem in loco sancto quod datum est tibi et filiis tuis de oblationibus Domini sicut præceptum est mihi

13. And you shall eat it in a holy place: which is given to thee and thy sons of the oblations of the Lord, as it hath been commanded me.

14. pectusculum quoque quod oblatum est et armum qui separatus est edetis in loco mundissimo tu et filii tui ac filiæ tuæ tecum tibi enim ac liberis tuis reposita sunt de hostiis salutaribus filiorum Israël

14. The breast also that is offered, and the shoulder that is separated, you shall eat in a most clean place, thou and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee. For they are set aside for thee and thy children, of the victims of peace offerings of the children of Israel:

15. eo quod armum et pectus et adipes qui cremantur in altari elevaverint coram Domino et pertineant ad te et ad filios tuos lege perpetua sicut præcepit Dominus

15. Because they have elevated before the Lord the shoulder and the breast, and the fat that is burnt on the altar, and they belong to thee and to thy sons by a perpetual law, as the Lord hath commanded.

16. inter hæc hircum qui oblatus fuerat pro peccato cum quæreret Moses exustum repperit iratusque contra Eleazar et Ithamar filios Aaron qui remanserant ait

16. While these things were a doing, when Moses sought for the buck goat, that had been offered for sin, he found it burnt: and being angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, he said:

17. cur non comedistis hostiam pro peccato in loco sancto quæ sancta sanctorum est et data vobis ut portetis iniquitatem multitudinis et rogetis pro ea in conspectu Domini

17. Why did you not eat in the holy place the sacrifice for sin, which is most holy, and given to you, that you may bear the iniquity of the people, and may pray for them in the sight of the Lord,

18. præsertim cum de sanguine illius non sit inlatum intra sancta et comedere eam debueritis in sanctuario sicut præceptum est mihi

18. Especially whereas none of the blood thereof hath been carried within the holy places, and you ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary, as was commanded me?

19. respondit Aaron oblata est hodie victima pro peccato et holocaustum coram Domino mihi autem accidit quod vides quomodo potui comedere eam aut placere Domino in cærimoniis mente lugubri

19. Aaron answered: This day hath been offered the victim for sin, and the holocaust before the Lord: and to me what thou seest has happened: how could I eat it, or please the Lord in the ceremonies, having a sorrowful heart?

20. quod cum audisset Moses recepit satisfactionem

20. Which when Moses had heard he was satisfied.
