Exodus 12
1 dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron in terra Aegypti
And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,
2 mensis iste vobis principium mensuum primus erit in mensibus anni
This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 loquimini ad universum coetum filiorum Israhel et dicite eis decima die mensis huius tollat unusquisque agnum per familias et domos suas
Speak you to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4 sin autem minor est numerus ut sufficere possit ad vescendum agnum adsumet vicinum suum qui iunctus est domui eius iuxta numerum animarum quae sufficere possunt ad esum agni
And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
5 erit autem agnus absque macula masculus anniculus iuxta quem ritum tolletis et hedum
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: you shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
6 et servabitis eum usque ad quartamdecimam diem mensis huius immolabitque eum universa multitudo filiorum Israhel ad vesperam
And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
7 et sument de sanguine ac ponent super utrumque postem et in superliminaribus domorum in quibus comedent illum
And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8 et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni et azymos panes cum lactucis agrestibus
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 non comedetis ex eo crudum quid nec coctum aqua sed assum tantum igni caput cum pedibus eius et intestinis vorabitis
Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the entrails thereof.
10 nec remanebit ex eo quicquam usque mane si quid residui fuerit igne conburetis
And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
11 sic autem comedetis illum renes vestros accingetis calciamenta habebitis in pedibus tenentes baculos in manibus et comedetis festinantes est enim phase id est transitus Domini
And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s passover.
12 et transibo per terram Aegypti nocte illa percutiamque omne primogenitum in terra Aegypti ab homine usque ad pecus et in cunctis diis Aegypti faciam iudicia ego Dominus
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13 erit autem sanguis vobis in signum in aedibus in quibus eritis et videbo sanguinem ac transibo vos nec erit in vobis plaga disperdens quando percussero terram Aegypti
And the blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 habebitis autem hanc diem in monumentum et celebrabitis eam sollemnem Domino in generationibus vestris cultu sempiterno
And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
15 septem diebus azyma comedetis in die primo non erit fermentum in domibus vestris quicumque comederit fermentatum peribit anima illa de Israhel a primo die usque ad diem septimum
Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
16 dies prima erit sancta atque sollemnis et dies septima eadem festivitate venerabilis nihil operis facietis in eis exceptis his quae ad vescendum pertinent
And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
17 et observabitis azyma in eadem enim ipsa die educam exercitum vestrum de terra Aegypti et custodietis diem istum in generationes vestras ritu perpetuo
And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
18 primo mense quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam comedetis azyma usque ad diem vicesimam primam eiusdem mensis ad vesperam
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
19 septem diebus fermentum non invenietur in domibus vestris qui comederit fermentatum peribit anima eius de coetu Israhel tam de advenis quam de indigenis terrae
Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whoever eats that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
20 omne fermentatum non comedetis in cunctis habitaculis vestris edetis azyma
You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall you eat unleavened bread.
21 vocavit autem Moses omnes seniores filiorum Israhel et dixit ad eos ite tollentes animal per familias vestras immolate phase
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
22 fasciculumque hysopi tinguite sanguine qui est in limine et aspergite ex eo superliminare et utrumque postem nullus vestrum egrediatur ostium domus suae usque mane
And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
23 transibit enim Dominus percutiens Aegyptios cumque viderit sanguinem in superliminari et in utroque poste transcendet ostium et non sinet percussorem ingredi domos vestras et laedere
For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.
24 custodi verbum istud legitimum tibi et filiis tuis usque in aeternum
And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons for ever.
25 cumque introieritis terram quam Dominus daturus est vobis ut pollicitus est observabitis caerimonias istas
And it shall come to pass, when you be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
26 et cum dixerint vobis filii vestri quae est ista religio
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean you by this service?
27 dicetis eis victima transitus Domini est quando transivit super domos filiorum Israhel in Aegypto percutiens Aegyptios et domos nostras liberans incurvatusque populus adoravit
That you shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
28 et egressi filii Israhel fecerunt sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi et Aaron
And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 factum est autem in noctis medio percussit Dominus omne primogenitum in terra Aegypti a primogenito Pharaonis qui sedebat in solio eius usque ad primogenitum captivae quae erat in carcere et omne primogenitum iumentorum
And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 surrexitque Pharao nocte et omnes servi eius cunctaque Aegyptus et ortus est clamor magnus in Aegypto neque enim erat domus in qua non iaceret mortuus
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 vocatisque Mosen et Aaron nocte ait surgite egredimini a populo meo et vos et filii Israhel ite immolate Domino sicut dicitis
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said.
32 oves vestras et armenta adsumite ut petieratis et abeuntes benedicite mihi
Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 urguebantque Aegyptii populum de terra exire velociter dicentes omnes moriemur
And the Egyptians were urgent on the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
34 tulit igitur populus conspersam farinam antequam fermentaretur et ligans in palliis posuit super umeros suos
And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35 feceruntque filii Israhel sicut praeceperat Moses et petierunt ab Aegyptiis vasa argentea et aurea vestemque plurimam
And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
36 dedit autem Dominus gratiam populo coram Aegyptiis ut commodarent eis et spoliaverunt Aegyptios
And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent to them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 profectique sunt filii Israhel de Ramesse in Soccoth sescenta ferme milia peditum virorum absque parvulis
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38 sed et vulgus promiscuum innumerabile ascendit cum eis oves et armenta et animantia diversi generis multa nimis
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
39 coxeruntque farinam quam dudum conspersam de Aegypto tulerant et fecerunt subcinericios panes azymos neque enim poterant fermentari cogentibus exire Aegyptiis et nullam facere sinentibus moram nec pulmenti quicquam occurrerant praeparare
And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
40 habitatio autem filiorum Israhel qua manserant in Aegypto fuit quadringentorum triginta annorum
Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelled in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41 quibus expletis eadem die egressus est omnis exercitus Domini de terra Aegypti
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
42 nox est ista observabilis Domini quando eduxit eos de terra Aegypti hanc observare debent omnes filii Israhel in generationibus suis
It is a night to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron haec est religio phase omnis alienigena non comedet ex eo
And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
44 omnis autem servus empticius circumcidetur et sic comedet
But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 advena et mercennarius non edent ex eo
A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46 in una domo comedetur nec efferetis de carnibus eius foras nec os illius confringetis
In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone thereof.
47 omnis coetus filiorum Israhel faciet illud
All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 quod si quis peregrinorum in vestram voluerit transire coloniam et facere phase Domini circumcidetur prius omne masculinum eius et tunc rite celebrabit eritque sicut indigena terrae si quis autem circumcisus non fuerit non vescetur ex eo
And when a stranger shall sojourn with you, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 eadem lex erit indigenae et colono qui peregrinatur apud vos
One law shall be to him that is home born, and to the stranger that sojourns among you.
50 fecerunt omnes filii Israhel sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi et Aaron
Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 et in eadem die eduxit Dominus filios Israhel de terra Aegypti per turmas suas
And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
