< Numbers 15 >

1 And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, Speke thou to the sones of Israel,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 and thou schalt seie to hem, Whanne ye han entrid in to the lond of youre abitacioun which Y schal yyue to you,
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye are come into the land of your habitation, which I give to you,
3 and ye make an offryng to the Lord in to brent sacrifice, ether a pesible sacrifice, and ye payen auowis, ethir offren yiftis bi fre wille, ethir in youre solempnytees ye brennen odour of swetnesse to the Lord, of oxun, ether of scheep;
and thou wilt offer whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord, a whole-burnt-offering or a meat-offering to perform a vow, or a free-will offering, or to offer in your feasts a sacrifice of sweet savour to the Lord, whether of the herd or the flock:
4 who euer offrith the slayn sacrifice, schal offre a sacrifice of flour, the tenthe part of ephi, spreynt togidere with oile, which oil schal haue a mesure the fourthe part of hyn;
then he that offers his gift to the Lord shall bring a meat-offering of fine flour, a tenth part of an ephah mingled with oil, even with the fourth part of a hin.
5 and he schal yyue wyn to fletynge sacrifices to be sched, of the same mesure, in to brent sacrifice, and slayn sacrifice.
And for a drink-offering ye shall offer the fourth part of a hin on the whole-burnt-offering, or on the meat-offering: for every lamb thou shalt offer so much, as a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
6 Bi ech loomb and ram schal be the sacrifice of flour, of twey tenthe partis, which schal be spreynt togidere with oile, of the thridde part of hyn;
And for a ram, when ye offer it as a whole-burnt-offering or as a sacrifice, thou shalt prepare as a meat-offering two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, the third part of a hin.
7 and he schal offre wyn to the fletynge sacrifice, of the thridde part of the same mesure, in to odour of swetnesse to the Lord.
And ye shall offer for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord wine for a drink-offering, the third part of a hin.
8 Forsothe whanne thou makist a brent sacrifice, ethir an offryng of oxun, that thou fille avow, ethir pesible sacrifice, thou schalt yyue,
And if ye sacrifice [a bullock] from the herd for a whole-burnt-offering or for a sacrifice, to perform a vow or a peace-offering to the Lord,
9 bi ech oxe, thre tenthe partis of flour, spreynt togidere with oile, which schal haue the half of mesure of hyn;
then [the worshipper] shall offer upon the calf a meat-offering, three tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, [even] the half of a hin.
10 and thou schalt yyue wyn to fletynge sacrifices to be sched, of the same mesure, in to offryng of the swettest odour to the Lord.
And wine for a drink-offering the half of a hin, a sacrifice for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
11 So ye schulen do bi ech oxe, and ram,
Thus shalt thou do to one calf or to one ram, or to one lamb of the sheep or kid of the goats.
12 and lomb, and kide;
According to the number of what ye shall offer, so shall ye do to each one, according to their number.
13 as wel men borun in the lond,
Every native of the country shall do thus to offer such things as sacrifices for a smell of sweet savour to the Lord.
14 as pilgrymys, schulen offre sacrifices bi the same custom;
And if there should be a stranger among you in your land, or one who should be born to you among your generations, and he will offer a sacrifice, a smell of sweet savour to the Lord—as ye do, so the [whole] congregation shall offer to the Lord.
15 o comaundement and doom schal be, as wel to you as to comelyngis of the lond.
There shall be one law for you and for the strangers abiding among you, a perpetual law for your generations: as ye [are], so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
16 And the Lord spak to Moises,
There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides among you.
17 and seide, Speke thou to the sones of Israel, and thou schalt seie to hem,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
18 Whanne ye comen in to the lond which Y schal yyue to you,
Speak to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye are entering into the land, into which I bring you,
19 and `ye eten of the looues of that cuntrey, ye
then it shall come to pass, when ye shall eat of the bread of the land, ye shall separate a wave-offering, a special offering to the Lord, the first-fruits of your dough.
20 schulen departe the firste fruytis of youre metis to the Lord; as ye schulen departe the firste fruytis of corn flooris,
Ye shall offer your bread a heave-offering: as a heave-offering from the threshing-floor, so shall ye separate it,
21 so ye schulen yyue the firste fruytis also of sewis to the Lord.
even the first-fruits of your dough, and ye shall give the Lord a heave-offering throughout your generations.
22 That if bi ignoraunce ye passen ony of tho thingis whiche the Lord spak to Moyses,
But whensoever ye shall transgress, and not perform all these commands, which the Lord spoke to Moses;
23 and comaundide bi hym to you, fro the dai in which he bigan to comaunde,
as the Lord appointed you by the hand of Moses, from the day which the Lord appointed you and forward throughout your generations,
24 and ouer, and the multitude hath foryete to do, it schal offre a calf of the drooue, brent sacrifice in to swettist odour to the Lord, and the sacrificis therof, and fletynge offryngis, as the cerymonyes therof axen; and it schal offre a `buc of geet for synne.
then it shall come to pass, if a trespass be committed unwillingly, unknown to the congregation, then shall all the congregation offer a calf of the herd without blemish for a whole-burnt-offering of sweet savour to the Lord, and its meat-offering and its drink-offering according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering.
25 And the preest schal preie for al the multitude of the sones of Israel, and it schal be foryouun to hem, for thei synneden not wilfuli. And neuerthelesse thei schulen offre encense to the Lord for hemsilf, and for her synne and errour;
And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and [the trespass] shall be forgiven them, because it is involuntary; and they have brought their gift, a burnt-offering to the Lord for their trespass before the Lord, even for their involuntary sins.
26 and it schal be foryouun to al the puple of the sones of Israel, and to comelyngis that ben pilgryms among hem, for it is the synne of al the multitude bi ignoraunce.
And it shall be forgiven as respects all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that is abiding among you, because [it is] involuntary to all the people.
27 That if a soule synneth vnwityngli, it schal offre a geet of o yeer for his synne; and the preest schal preye for that soule, for it synnede vnwityngli bifor the Lord;
And if one soul sin unwillingly, he shall bring one she-goat of a year old for a sin-offering.
28 and the preest schal gete foryyuenesse to it, and synne schal be foryouun to it.
And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that committed the trespass unwillingly, and that sinned unwillingly before the Lord, to make atonement for him.
29 As wel to men borun in the lond as to comelyngis, o lawe schal be of alle that synnen vnwityngli.
There shall be one law for the native among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that abides among them, whosoever shall commit a trespass unwillingly.
30 Forsothe a man that doith ony synne bi pride, schal perische fro his puple, whether he be a citeseyn, ethir a pilgrym, for he was rebel ayens the Lord;
And whatever soul either of the natives or of the strangers shall do any thing with a presumptuous hand, he will provoke God; that soul shall be cut off from his people,
31 for he dispiside the word of the Lord, and made voide his comaundement; therfor he schal be doon awei, and schal bere his owne wickidnes.
for he has set at nought the word of the Lord and broken his commands: that soul shall be utterly destroyed, his sin [is] upon him.
32 Forsothe it was doon, whanne the sones of Israel weren in wildirnesse, and hadde founde a man gaderynge woode in the `day of sabat,
And the children of Israel were in the wilderness, and they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath-day.
33 thei brouyten hym to Moises, and to Aaron, and to al the multitude; whiche closiden hym in to prisoun,
And they who found him gathering sticks on the sabbath-day brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel.
34 and wisten not what thei schulden do of hym.
And they placed him in custody, for they did not determine what they should do to him.
35 And the Lord seide to Moises, This man die bi deeth; al the cumpeny oppresse hym with stoonus with out the tentis.
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Let the man be by all means put to death: [do ye] all the congregation, stone him with stones.
36 And whanne thei hadden led hym with out forth, thei oppressiden him with stoonus, and he was deed, as the Lord comaundide.
And all the congregation brought him forth out of the camp; and all the congregation stoned him with stones outside the camp, as the Lord commanded Moses.
37 Also the Lord seide to Moises,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
38 Speke thou to the sones of Israel, and thou schalt seye to hem, that thei make to hem hemmes bi foure corneris of mentils, and sette laces of iacynct `in tho;
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt tell them; and let them make for themselves fringes upon the borders of their garments throughout their generations: and ye shall put upon the fringes of the borders a lace of blue.
39 and whanne thei seen thoo, haue thei mynde of alle comaundementis of the Lord, lest thei suen her thouytis and iyen, doynge fornycacioun bi dyuerse thingis;
And it shall be on your fringes, and ye shall look on them, and ye shall remember all the commands of the Lord, and do them: and ye shall not turn back after your imaginations, and after [the sight of your] eyes in the things after which ye go a whoring;
40 but more be thei myndeful of the `Lordis heestis, and do thei tho, and be thei hooli to her God.
that ye may remember and perform all my commands, and ye shall be holy unto your God.
41 Y am youre Lord God, which ledde you out of the lond of Egipt, that Y schulde be youre God.
I [am] the Lord your God that brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I [am] the Lord your God.
