< Deuteronomy 16 >

1 “Observe the month of Abib, and you have made a Passover to your God YHWH, for in the month of Abib your God YHWH has brought you out of Egypt by night;
Observa mensem novarum frugum, et verni primum temporis, ut facias Phase Domino Deo tuo: quoniam in isto mense eduxit te Dominus Deus tuus de Ægypto nocte.
2 and you have sacrificed a Passover to your God YHWH, of the flock and of the herd, in the place which YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there.
Immolabisque Phase Domino Deo tuo de ovibus, et de bobus in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, ut habitet nomen eius ibi.
3 You do not eat any fermented thing with it; [for] seven days you eat unleavened things with it, bread of affliction (for you have come out of the land of Egypt in haste), so that you remember the day of your coming out of the land of Egypt all [the] days of your life;
Non comedes in eo panem fermentatum: Septem diebus comedes absque fermento, afflictionis panem, quoniam in pavore egressus es de Ægypto: ut memineris diei egressionis tuæ de Ægypto, omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
4 and leaven is not seen with you in all your border [for] seven days, and there does not remain [any] of the flesh which you sacrifice at evening on the first day until morning.
Non apparebit fermentum in omnibus terminis tuis septem diebus, et non remanebit de carnibus eius quod immolatum est vespere in die primo usque mane.
5 You are not able to sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you,
Non poteris immolare Phase in qualibet urbium tuarum, quas Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi;
6 except at the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell—there you sacrifice the Passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of your coming out of Egypt;
sed in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, ut habitet nomen eius ibi: immolabis Phase vespere ad solis occasum, quando egressus es de Ægypto.
7 and you have cooked and eaten in the place on which your God YHWH fixes, and have turned in the morning and gone to your tents;
Et coques, et comedes in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, maneque consurgens vades in tabernacula tua.
8 [for] six days you eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to your God YHWH; you do no work.
Sex diebus comedes azyma: et in die septima, quia collecta est Domini Dei tui, non facies opus.
9 You number seven weeks for yourself; you begin to number seven weeks from the beginning of the sickle among the standing grain,
Septem hebdomadas numerabis tibi ab ea die qua falcem in segetem miseris.
10 and you have observed the Celebration of Weeks to your God YHWH, a tribute of a free-will offering of your hand, which you give as your God YHWH blesses you.
et celebraris diem festum hebdomadarum Domino Deo tuo, oblationem spontaneam manus tuæ, quam offeres iuxta benedictionem Domini Dei tui:
11 And you have rejoiced before your God YHWH, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in your midst, in the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there,
et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo, tu, filius tuus, et filia tua, servus tuus, et ancilla tua, et Levites qui est intra portas tuas, advena ac pupillus et vidua, qui morantur vobiscum: in loco quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, ut habitet nomen eius ibi:
12 and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and have observed and done these statutes.
et recordaberis quoniam servus fueris in Ægypto: custodiesque ac facies quæ præcepta sunt.
13 You observe the Celebration of Shelters for yourself [for] seven days, in your ingathering of your threshing-floor and of your wine-vat;
Sollemnitatem quoque tabernaculorum celebrabis per septem dies, quando collegeris de area et torculari fruges tuas:
14 and you have rejoiced in your celebration, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within your gates.
et epulaberis in festivitate tua, tu, filius tuus, et filia, servus tuus et ancilla, Levites quoque et advena, pupillus et vidua qui intra portas tuas sunt.
15 [For] seven days you celebrate before your God YHWH in the place which YHWH chooses, for your God YHWH blesses you in all your increase and in every work of your hands, and you have been only rejoicing.
Septem diebus Domino Deo tuo festa celebrabis in loco quem elegerit Dominus: benedicetque tibi Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis frugibus tuis, et in omni opere manuum tuarum, erisque in lætitia.
16 Three times in a year all of your males appear before your God YHWH in the place which He chooses: in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters; and they do not appear before YHWH empty;
Tribus vicibus per annum apparebit omne masculinum tuum in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco quem elegerit: in sollemnitate azymorum, in sollemnitate hebdomadarum, et in sollemnitate tabernaculorum. Non apparebit ante Dominum vacuus:
17 each [gives] according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of your God YHWH, which He has given to you.
sed offeret unusquisque secundum quod habuerit iuxta benedictionem Domini Dei sui, quam dederit ei.
18 You set for yourself judges and authorities within all your gates which your God YHWH is giving to you, for your tribes; and they have judged the people [with] a righteous judgment.
Iudices et magistros constitues in omnibus portis tuis, quas Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi, per singulas tribus tuas: ut iudicent populum iusto iudicio,
19 You do not turn aside judgment; you do not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts the words of the righteous.
nec in alteram partem declinent. Non accipies personam, nec munera: quia munera excæcant oculos sapientum, et mutant verba iustorum.
20 Righteousness—you pursue righteousness, so that you live and have possessed the land which your God YHWH is giving to you.
Iuste quod iustum est persequeris: ut vivas et possideas Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi.
21 You do not plant an Asherah of any trees for yourself near the altar of your God YHWH, which you make for yourself,
Non plantabis lucum, et omnem arborem iuxta altare Domini Dei tui.
22 and you do not raise up any standing image for yourself which your God YHWH is hating.”
Nec facies tibi, neque constitues statuam: quæ odit Dominus Deus tuus.
