Exodus 29
1 “This is what you must do to dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests: Select one young bull and two rams that do not have any defects.
Sed et hoc facies, ut mihi in sacerdotio consecrentur. Tolle vitulum de armento, et arietes duos immaculatos,
2 Bake three [kinds of bread] using finely-ground wheat flour, but without yeast: Bake some loaves that do not have any olive oil in them, bake some loaves that have olive oil in the dough, and bake some thin wafers that will be smeared with olive oil [after they are baked].
panesque azymos, et crustulam absque fermento, quae conspersa sit oleo, lagana quoque azyma oleo lita: de simila triticea cuncta facies.
3 Put them in a basket and offer them [to me] when you sacrifice the young bull and the two rams.
Et posita in canistro offeres: vitulum autem et duos arietes.
4 Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually].
Et Aaron, ac filios eius applicabis ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii. Cumque laveris patrem cum filiis suis aqua,
5 Then put the special clothes on Aaron—the long-sleeved tunic/gown, the robe that will be worn underneath the sacred apron, the sacred apron, the sacred pouch, and the sash/waistband.
indues Aaron vestimentis suis, id est, linea et tunica, et superhumerali et rationali, quod constringes balteo.
6 Place the turban on his head, and fasten to the turban the ornament that has the words ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ engraved on it.
Et pones tiaram in capite eius, et laminam sanctam super tiaram,
7 Then take the oil and pour some on his head to (dedicate him/set him apart).
et oleum unctionis fundes super caput eius: atque hoc ritu consecrabitur.
8 Then bring his sons and put the long-sleeved tunics/gowns on them.
Filios quoque illius applicabis, et indues tunicis lineis, cingesque balteo,
9 Put the sashes/waistbands around their waists and the caps on their heads. That is the ritual by which you are to (dedicate them/set them apart) to be priests. Aaron and his male descendants must serve me [by being] priests forever.
Aaron scilicet et liberos eius, et impones eis mitras: eruntque sacerdotes mihi religione perpetua. Postquam initiaveris manus eorum,
10 “Then bring the young bull to the entrance of the Sacred Tent. Tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the young bull.
applicabis et vitulum coram tabernaculo testimonii. Imponentque Aaron et filii eius manus super caput illius,
11 Then, while they do that, kill the young bull [by slitting its throat], and catch/drain the blood in a bowl.
et mactabis eum in conspectu Domini, iuxta ostium tabernaculi testimonii.
12 Take some of that blood with your finger and smear it on the projections of the altar. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the base of the altar.
Sumptumque de sanguine vituli, pones super cornua altaris digito tuo, reliquum autem sanguinem fundes iuxta basim eius.
13 Take all the fat that covers the inner organs of the young bull, the best part of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn all these on the altar [as an offering to me].
Sumes et adipem totum qui operit intestina, et reticulum iecoris, ac duos renes, et adipem qui super eos est, et offeres incensum super altare:
14 But the meat of the young bull and its hide and intestines must be burned outside the camp. That will be an offering to forgive the guilt of your sins.
carnes vero vituli et corium et fimum combures foris extra castra, eo quod pro peccato sit.
15 “Then select one of the rams, and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the ram.
Unum quoque arietem sumes, super cuius caput ponent Aaron et filii eius manus.
16 Then kill the ram [by slitting its throat]. Catch/Drain some of the blood and splash it against all four sides of the altar.
Quem cum mactaveris, tolles de sanguine eius, et fundes circa altare.
17 Then cut the ram into pieces. Wash its inner organs and its rear legs and put those with the head
ipsum autem arietem secabis in frustra. lotaque intestina eius ac pedes pones super concisas carnes, et super caput illius.
18 and burn those pieces [completely] on the altar with the rest of the ram. That will be an offering to me, Yahweh, and the smell will please me.
Et offeres totum arietem in incensum super altare: oblatio est Domino, odor suavissimus victimae Domini.
19 “Take the other ram [that was selected for these rituals], and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the ram’s head.
Tolles quoque arietem alterum, super cuius caput Aaron et filii eius ponent manus.
20 Then kill the ram by slitting its throat, and drain the blood [into a bowl]. Smear some of the blood on the lobe of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the four sides of the altar.
Quem cum immolaveris, sumes de sanguine eius, et pones super extremum auriculae dextrae Aaron et filiorum eius, et super pollices manus eorum ac pedis dextri, fundesque sanguinem super altare per circuitum.
21 Wipe up some of the blood that is on the altar, mix it with some of the oil for anointing, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and on his sons and their clothes. By doing that, you will dedicate them and their clothes [to me].
Cumque tuleris de sanguine qui est super altare, et de oleo unctionis, asperges Aaron et vestes eius, filios et vestimenta eorum. Consecratisque ipsis et vestibus,
22 “Also, cut off the ram’s fat and its fat tail and the fat that covers the inner organs, the best part of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh.
tolles adipem de ariete, et caudam et arvinam, quae operit vitalia, ac reticulum iecoris, et duos renes, atque adipem, qui super eos est, armumque dextrum, eo quod sit aries consecrationis:
23 Take also one of each of the kinds of bread [that was baked]—one made with no oil, one with oil, and one thin wafer.
tortamque panis unius, crustulam conspersam oleo, laganum de canistro azymorum, quod positum est in conspectu Domini:
24 Put all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. [Then tell them to] lift them up [high] to dedicate them to me.
ponesque omnia super manus Aaron et filiorum eius, et sanctificabis eos elevans coram Domino.
25 Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar, on top of the other things [that were placed there]. That [also] will be an offering to me, and its smell will please me.
Suscipiesque universa de manibus eorum: et incendes super altare in holocaustum, odorem suavissimum in conspectu Domini, quia oblatio eius est.
26 Then take the meat of the ribs of the second ram that was killed, and lift it up [high] as an offering to me. But then this part of the animal will be for you [to eat].
Sumes quoque pectusculum de ariete, quo initiatus est Aaron, sanctificabisque illud elevatum coram Domino, et cedet in partem tuam.
27 Then take the meat of the ribs, the other thigh of the first ram that was sacrificed to (dedicate/set apart) the priests, and the ram whose other parts were lifted high to show that they were an offering to me; and set the meat of the ribs and thigh apart for Aaron and his sons, for them to eat.
Sanctificabisque et pectusculum consecratum, et armum quem de ariete separasti,
28 In the future, whenever the Israeli people present to me, Yahweh, offerings to maintain fellowship with me, the ribs and the thigh [of animals that they sacrifice] will be for Aaron and his male descendants [to eat].
quo initiatus est Aaron et filii eius, cedentque in partem Aaron et filiorum eius iure perpetuo a filiis Israel: quia primitiva sunt et initia de victimis eorum pacificis quae offerunt Domino.
29 “After Aaron [dies], the special clothes that he wore will belong to his sons. They are to wear those clothes when they are (set apart/dedicated) [to become priests].
Vestem autem sanctam, qua utetur Aaron, habebunt filii eius post eum, ut ungantur in ea, et consecrantur manus eorum.
30 Aaron’s son who becomes The Supreme Priest and enters the Sacred Tent and performs rituals in the Holy Place must [stay in the Sacred Tent], wearing these special clothes, for seven days.
Septem diebus utetur illa qui pontifex pro eo fuerit constitutus de filiis eius, et qui ingredietur tabernaculum testimonii ut ministret in Sanctuario.
31 “Take the meat of the other ram that was sacrificed to (set apart/dedicate) Aaron and his sons, and boil it in the courtyard.
Arietem autem consecrationis tolles, et coques carnes eius in loco sancto:
32 After it is cooked, Aaron and his sons must eat it, along with the bread that is left in the basket, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
quibus vescetur Aaron et filii eius. Panes quoque, qui sunt in canistro, in vestibulo tabernaculi testimonii comedent,
33 They must eat the meat of the ram that was sacrificed to forgive them for [their sins] when they were dedicated to do this work. They are the only ones who are permitted to eat this meat. [Those who are not priests are not allowed to eat it], because it is dedicated to me.
ut sit placabile sacrificium, et sanctificentur offerentium manus. Alienigena non vescetur ex eis, quia sancti sunt.
34 If any of this meat or some of the bread is not eaten that night, no one is permitted to eat any of it the next day. It must be completely burned, because it is sacred/dedicated to me.
Quod si remanserit de carnibus consecratis, sive de panibus usque mane, combures reliquias igni: non comedentur, quia sanctificata sunt.
35 “Those are the rituals that you(sg) must perform during those seven days when you dedicate Aaron and his sons for this work. You must do everything that I have commanded you.
Omnia, quae praecepi tibi, facies super Aaron et filiis eius. Septem diebus consecrabis manus eorum:
36 Each of those seven days you must also sacrifice a young bull as an offering to me, in order that I may forgive sins. Also, you must make another offering (to make the altar pure in my sight/in order that I will consider the altar to be pure). You must also anoint the altar with olive oil, to (set it apart/dedicate it).
et vitulum pro peccato offeres per singulos dies ad expiandum. Mundabisque altare cum immolaveris expiationis hostiam, et unges illud in sanctificationem.
37 Perform these rituals every day for seven days, to (set apart/dedicate) the altar and make it pure. If you do not do that, anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
Septem diebus expiabis altare, et sanctificabis, et erit Sanctum sanctorum. omnis, qui tetigerit illud, sanctificabitur.
38 “You must also sacrifice lambs and burn them on the altar. Each of those [seven] days you must sacrifice two lambs.
Hoc est quod facies in altari: Agnos anniculos duos per singulos dies iugiter,
39 One lamb must be sacrificed in the morning, and one must be sacrificed in the evening.
unum agnum mane, et alterum vespere,
40 With the first lamb, also offer (2 pounds/1 kilogram) of finely-ground wheat flour mixed with one quart/liter of the best kind of olive oil, and one quart/liter of wine as an offering.
decimam partem similae conspersae oleo tuso, quod habeat mensuram quartam partem hin, et vinum ad libandum eiusdem mensurae in agno uno.
41 In the evening, when you sacrifice the other lamb, offer the same amounts of flour, olive oil, and wine as you did in the morning. This will be an offering to me, Yahweh, that will be burned, and its smell will please me.
Alterum vero agnum offeres ad vesperam iuxta ritum matutinae oblationis, et iuxta ea quae diximus, in odorem suavitatis:
42 You [and your descendants] must continue making these offerings to me, Yahweh, throughout all future generations. You must offer them at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. That is where I will meet with you and speak to you.
sacrificium est Domino, oblatione perpetua in generationes vestras, ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino, ubi constituam ut loquar ad te.
43 That is where I will meet with the Israeli people, and the brilliant light of my presence will cause that place to be holy/sacred.
Ibique praecipiam filiis Israel, et sanctificabitur altare in gloria mea.
44 I will dedicate the Sacred Tent and the altar. I will also dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests.
Sanctificabo et tabernaculum testimonii cum altari, et Aaron cum filiis suis, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
45 I will live among the Israeli people, and I will be their God.
Et habitabo in medio filiorum Israel, eroque eis Deus,
46 They will know that I, Yahweh their God, am the one who brought them out of Egypt in order that I might live among them.”
et scient quia ego Dominus Deus eorum, qui eduxi eos de Terra Aegypti, ut manerem inter illos, ego Dominus Deus ipsorum.
