Liber Numeri 15
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 Loquere ad filios Israël, et dices ad eos: Cum ingressi fueritis terram habitationis vestræ, quam ego dabo vobis,
Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shall say unto them, —When ye shall enter into the land of your dwelling-places, which, I, am giving unto you;
3 et feceritis oblationem Domino in holocaustum, aut victimam, vota solventes, vel sponte offerentes munera, aut in solemnitatibus vestris adolentes odorem suavitatis Domino, de bobus sive de ovibus:
and ye would offer, as an altar-flame unto Yahweh an ascending-offering or a sacrifice, for celebrating a vow or as a freewill-offering, or in your appointed seasons, —by way of offering a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, from the herd or from the flock,
4 offeret quicumque immolaverit victimam, sacrificium similæ, decimam partem ephi, conspersæ oleo, quod mensuram habebit quartam partem hin:
then shall he that bringeth near his oblation bring near unto Yahweh a meal-offering, of fine meal a tenth part [of an ephah] overflowed with the fourth part of a hin of oil;
5 et vinum ad liba fundenda ejusdem mensuræ dabit in holocaustum sive in victimam. Per agnos singulos
wine also for a drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou offer with the ascending-offering or with the sacrifice, —for each he-lamb.
6 et arietes erit sacrificium similæ duarum decimarum, quæ conspersa sit oleo tertiæ partis hin:
Or, with a ram, thou shalt offer a meal-offering, of fine meal, two tenths, —overflowed with oil, the third of a hin;
7 et vinum ad libamentum tertiæ partis ejusdem mensuræ offeret in odorem suavitatis Domino.
wine also, for a drink-offering, the third of a hin, shalt thou bring near as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
8 Quando vero de bobus feceris holocaustum aut hostiam, ut impleas votum vel pacificas victimas,
And when thou wouldest offer a choice young bullock as an ascending-offering or sacrifice, —for celebrating a vow or as a peace-offering unto Yahweh,
9 dabis per singulos boves similæ tres decimas conspersæ oleo, quod habeat medium mensuræ hin:
then shall he bring near with his choice young bullock, a meal-offering, of fine meal three tenths, —overflowed with half a hin of oil;
10 et vinum ad liba fundenda ejusdem mensuræ in oblationem suavissimi odoris Domino.
wine also, shalt thou bring near for a drink-offering, half a hin, —for an altar-flame of satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
11 Sic facies
Thus and thus, shall it be done, for each ox, and for each ram, —and for each young one among the sheep, or among the goats:
12 per singulos boves et arietis et agnos et hædos.
according to the number which ye shall offer, thus and thus, shall ye do for each one according to their number.
13 Tam indigenæ quam peregrini
Every one born in the land, thus and thus, shall offer these things, —when bringing near an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
14 eodem ritu offerent sacrificia.
And when there shall sojourn with you a sojourner, or one who is in your midst to your generations, and he would offer an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, as ye offer, so, shall he offer,
15 Unum præceptum erit atque judicium tam vobis quam advenis terræ.
In the convocation, one statute, shall there be for you and for the sojourner who sojourneth, —an age-abiding statute unto your generations, as ye are, so, the sojourner, shall be before Yahweh:
16 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
one law and one regulation, shall there be for yourselves and for the sojourner that sojourneth with you.
17 Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos:
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
18 Cum veneritis in terram, quam dabo vobis,
Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —When ye enter into the land whereinto I, am bringing you,
19 et comederitis de panibus regionis illius, separabitis primitias Domino
then shall it be, when ye eat the bread of the land, that ye shall heave up a heave-offering unto Yahweh.
20 de cibis vestris. Sicut de areis primitias separatis,
Of the first of your meal, shall ye heave up, a cake, as a heave-offering, —like the heave-offering of grain, so shall ye heave it.
21 ita et de pulmentis dabitis primitiva Domino.
Of the first of your meal, shall ye give unto Yahweh a heave-offering, —unto your generations.
22 Quod si per ignorantiam præterieritis quidquam horum, quæ locutus est Dominus ad Moysen,
And when ye shall make a mistake, and not observe all these commandments, —which Yahweh hath spoken unto Moses;
23 et mandavit per eum ad vos, a die qua cœpit jubere et ultra,
even all that Yahweh hath given unto you in command, by the hand of Moses, —from the day that Yahweh gave command, and onward unto your generations,
24 oblitaque fuerit facere multitudo: offeret vitulum de armento, holocaustum in odorem suavissimum Domino, et sacrificum ejus ac liba, ut cæremoniæ postulant, hircumque pro peccato:
then shall it be—if, any from the eyes of the assembly, it hath been done by mistake, that all the assembly shall offer one choice young bullock for an ascending-sacrifice as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, with the meal-offering thereof and the drink-offering thereof, according to the regulation, —and one young he-goat as a sin-bearer.
25 et rogabit sacerdos pro omni multitudine filiorum Israël, et dimittetur eis, quoniam non sponte peccaverunt, nihilominus offerentes incensum Domino pro se et pro peccato atque errore suo:
So shall the priest put a propitiatory, covering over all the assembly of the sons of Israel and pardon shall be granted unto them, —because a mistake, it was, they, therefore have brought in their offering—an altar-flame unto Yahweh and their sin-bearer before Yahweh for their mistake:
26 et dimittetur universæ plebi filiorum Israël, et advenis qui peregrinantur inter eos: quoniam culpa est omnis populi per ignorantiam.
and pardon shall be granted unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel and unto the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst, —for, in the case of all the people, it was, by mistake.
27 Quod si anima una nesciens peccaverit, offeret capram anniculam pro peccato suo:
And if, any one person, shall sin by mistake, then shall he bring near a she-goat of the first year as a sin-bearer;
28 et deprecabitur pro ea sacerdos, quod inscia peccaverit coram Domino: impetrabitque ei veniam, et dimittetur illi.
and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over the person who hath made the mistake, when he hath sinned by mistake before Yahweh, even put a propitiatory-covering over him, and pardon shall be granted him.
29 Tam indigenis quam advenis una lex erit omnium, qui peccaverint ignorantes.
For the native born among the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst, one law, shall there be unto you—for acting by mistake.
30 Anima vero, quæ per superbiam aliquid commiserit, sive civis sit ille, sive peregrinus (quoniam adversus Dominum rebellis fuit), peribit de populo suo:
But, as for the person who acteth with a high hand—of the native born or of the sojourners, Yahweh himself, he, reproacheth, —therefore shall that person be cut off out of the midst of his people.
31 verbum enim Domini contempsit, et præceptum illius fecit irritum: idcirco delebitur, et portabit iniquitatem suam.
Because the word of Yahweh, hath he despised, and his commandment, hath he broken, that person shall be surely cut off, his iniquity, is in himself.
32 Factum est autem, cum essent filii Israël in solitudine, et invenissent hominem colligentem ligna in die sabbati,
While the sons of Israel were in the desert, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.
33 obtulerunt eum Moysi et Aaron et universæ multitudini.
And they who found him gathering sticks, brought him near, unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly.
34 Qui recluserunt eum in carcerem, nescientes quid super eo facere deberent.
And they put him in ward, —because it was not clear what they should do unto him.
35 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen: Morte moriatur homo iste: obruat eum lapidibus omnis turba extra castra.
Then said Yahweh unto Moses, The man shall be, put to death, —all the assembly, stoning him with stones, outside the camp.
36 Cumque eduxissent eum foras, obruerunt lapidibus, et mortuus est, sicut præceperat Dominus.
So then all the assembly, put him forth, outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
37 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen:
And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
38 Loquere filiis Israël, et dices ad eos ut faciant sibi fimbrias per angulos palliorum, ponentes in eis vittas hyacinthinas:
Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, That they shall make them fringes on the corners of their garments unto their generations—and shall put upon the fringe of the corner a cord of blue:
39 quas cum viderint, recordentur omnium mandatorum Domini, nec sequantur cogitationes suas et oculos per res varias fornicantes,
so shall they serve you as fringes, and when ye see then, then shall ye call to mind all the commandments of Yahweh, and shall do them, —and shall not spy out, after your own hearts, and after your own eyes for things, after which, ye, are ready to go unchastely away:
40 sed magis memores præceptorum Domini faciant ea, sintque sancti Deo suo.
to the intent ye may call to mind, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41 Ego Dominus Deus vester, qui eduxi vos de terra Ægypti, ut essem Deus vester.
I—Yahweh, am your God—who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to become your God, —I, —Yahweh, am your God.
