Liber Numeri, 10

1. Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen dicens:

1. The LORD said to Moses,

2. “Fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles, quibus convocare possis congregationem, quando movenda sunt castra.

2. "Make two silver trumpets; of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation, and for breaking camp.

3. Cumque increpueris tubis, congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium tabernaculi conventus.

3. And when both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

4. Si semel clangueris, venient ad te principes et capita congregationis Israel;

4. But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the tribes of Israel, shall gather themselves to you.

5. si autem prolixior clangor increpuerit, movebunt castra primi, qui sunt ad orientalem plagam;

5. When you blow an alarm, the camps that are on the east side shall set out.

6. in secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubae levabunt tentoria, qui habitant ad meridiem, et iuxta hunc modum reliqui facient, ululantibus tubis in profectionem.

6. And when you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are on the south side shall set out. An alarm is to be blown whenever they are to set out.

7. Quando autem congregandus est populus, simplex tubarum clangor erit, et non ululabunt.

7. But when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but you shall not sound an alarm.

8. Filii autem Aaron sacerdotes clangent tubis. Eritque hoc vobis legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris.

8. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. The trumpets shall be to you for a perpetual statute throughout your generations.

9. Si exieritis ad bellum in terra vestra contra hostes, qui dimicant adversum vos, clangetis ululantibus tubis; et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro, ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum.

9. And when you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and you shall be saved from your enemies.

10. Si quando habebitis epulum et dies festos et calendas, canetis tubis super holocaustis vestris et pacificis victimis, ut sint vobis in recordationem Dei vestri. Ego Dominus Deus vester”.

10. On the day of your gladness also, and at your appointed feasts, and at the beginnings of your months, you shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; they shall serve you for remembrance before your God: I am the LORD your God."

11. Anno secundo, mense secundo, vicesima die mensis elevata est nubes de habitaculo testimonii;

11. In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony,

30. But he said to him, "I will not go; I will depart to my own land and to my kindred."
