Liber Leviticus, 23

1. locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2. loquere filiis Israël et dices ad eos hæ sunt feriæ Domini quas vocabitis sanctas

2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.

3. sex diebus facietis opus dies septimus quia sabbati requies est vocabitur sanctus omne opus non facietis in eo sabbatum Domini est in cunctis habitationibus vestris

3. Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.

4. hæ sunt ergo feriæ Domini sanctæ quas celebrare debetis temporibus suis

4. These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their seasons.

5. mense primo quartadecima die mensis ad vesperum phase Domini est

5. The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is the phase of the Lord:

6. et quintadecima die mensis hujus sollemnitas azymorum Domini est septem diebus azyma comedetis

6. And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.

7. dies primus erit vobis celeberrimus sanctusque omne opus servile non facietis in eo

7. The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall do no servile work therein:

8. sed offeretis sacrificium in igne Domino septem diebus dies autem septimus erit celebrior et sanctior nullumque servile opus fiet in eo

8. But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no servile work therein.

9. locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

9. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

10. loquere filiis Israël et dices ad eos cum ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis et messueritis segetem feretis manipulos spicarum primitias messis vestræ ad sacerdotem

10. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:

11. qui elevabit fasciculum coram Domino ut acceptabile sit pro vobis altero die sabbati et sanctificabit illum

11. Who shall lift up the shed before the Lord, the next day after the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.

12. atque in eodem die quo manipulus consecratur cædetur agnus inmaculatus anniculus in holocaustum Domini

12. And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord.

13. et libamenta offerentur cum eo duæ decimæ similæ conspersæ oleo in incensum Domini odoremque suavissimum liba quoque vini quarta pars hin

13. And the libations shall be offered with it, two tenths of hour tempered with oil for a burnt offering of the Lord, and a most sweet odour: libations also of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

14. panem et pulentam et pultes non comedetis ex segete usque ad diem qua offeratis ex ea Deo vestro præceptum est sempiternum in generationibus cunctisque habitaculis vestris

14. You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty of the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your dwellings.

15. numerabitis ergo ab altero die sabbati in quo obtulistis manipulum primitiarum septem ebdomadas plenas

15. You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, wherein you offered the sheaf of the firstfruits, seven full weeks.

16. usque ad alteram diem expletionis ebdomadæ septimæ id est quinquaginta dies et sic offeretis sacrificium novum Domino

16. Even unto the marrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days, and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.

17. ex omnibus habitaculis vestris panes primitiarum duos de duabus decimis similæ fermentatæ quos coquetis in primitias Domini

17. Out of all your dwellings, two leaves of the firstfruits, of two tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of the Lord.

18. offeretisque cum panibus septem agnos inmaculatos anniculos et vitulum de armento unum et arietes duos et erunt in holocausto cum libamentis suis in odorem suavissimum Domino

18. And you shall offer with the leaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations far a most sweet odour to the Lord.

19. facietis et hircum pro peccato duosque agnos anniculos hostias pacificorum

19. You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of peace offerings.

20. cumque elevaverit eos sacerdos cum panibus primitiarum coram Domino cedent in usum ejus

20. And when the priest hath lifted them up with the leaves of the firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.

21. et vocabitis hunc diem celeberrimum atque sanctissimum omne opus servile non facietis in eo legitimum sempiternum erit in cunctis habitaculis et generationibus vestris

21. And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwellings and generations.

22. postquam autem messueritis segetem terræ vestræ non secabitis eam usque ad solum nec remanentes spicas colligetis sed pauperibus et peregrinis dimittetis eas ego Dominus Deus vester

22. And when you reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain; but you shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your God.

23. locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

23. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

24. loquere filiis Israël mense septimo prima die mensis erit vobis sabbatum memorabile clangentibus tubis et vocabitur sanctum

24. Say to the children of Israel: The seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial, with she sound of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.

25. omne opus servile non facietis in eo et offeretis holocaustum Domino

25. You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

26. locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

28. omne opus non facietis in tempore diei hujus quia dies propitiationis est ut propitietur vobis Dominus Deus vester

28. You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you.

29. omnis anima quæ adflicta non fuerit die hoc peribit de populis suis

29. Every soul that is not afflicted on this day, shall perish from among his people:

30. et quæ operis quippiam fecerit delebo eam de populo suo

30. And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy from among his people.

31. nihil ergo operis facietis in eo legitimum sempiternum erit vobis in cunctis generationibus et habitationibus vestris

31. You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations, and dwellings.

32. sabbatum requietionis est adfligetis animas vestras die nono mensis a vespero usque ad vesperum celebrabitis sabbata vestra

32. It is a sabbath of rest, and you shell afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths.

33. et locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

36. et septem diebus offeretis holocausta Domino dies quoque octavus erit celeberrimus atque sanctissimus et offeretis holocaustum Domino est enim cœtus atque collectæ omne opus servile non facietis in eo

36. The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord: for it is the day of assembly and congregation: you shall do no servile work therein.

37. hæ sunt feriæ Domini quas vocabitis celeberrimas et sanctissimas offeretisque in eis oblationes Domino holocausta et libamenta juxta ritum uniuscujusque diei

37. These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most solemn and most holy, and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord, holocausts and libations according to the rite of every day,

38. exceptis sabbatis Domini donisque vestris et quæ offertis ex voto vel quæ sponte tribuitis Domino

38. Besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and your gifts, and those things that you offer by vow, or which you shall give to the Lord voluntarily.

39. a quintodecimo ergo die mensis septimi quando congregaveritis omnes fructus terræ vestræ celebrabitis ferias Domini septem diebus die primo et die octavo erit sabbatum id est requies

39. So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you shall have gathered in all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days: on the first day and the eighth shall be a sabbath, that is a day of rest.

40. And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the fairest tree, and branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.

41. And you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month shall you celebrate this feast.

42. et habitabitis in umbraculis septem diebus omnis qui de genere est Israël manebit in tabernaculis

42. And you shall dwell in bowers seven days: every one that is of the race of Israel, shall dwell in tabernacles:

43. ut discant posteri vestri quod in tabernaculis habitare fecerim filios Israël cum educerem eos de terra Ægypti ego Dominus Deus vester

43. That your posterity may know, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tabernacles, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
