1 And the Lord spak to Moises, aftir the deeth of the twei sones of Aaron, whanne thei offriden alien fier, and weren slayn, and comaundide to hym,
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen post mortem duorum filiorum Aaron, quando offerentes ignem alienum interfecti sunt:
2 and seide, Speke thou to Aaron, thi brother, that he entre not in al tyme in to the seyntuarie, which is with ynne the veil bifor the propiciatorie, bi which the arke is hilid, that he die not; for Y schal appere in a cloude on Goddis answeryng place;
et præcepit ei, dicens: Loquere ad Aaron fratrem tuum, ne omni tempore ingrediatur Sanctuarium, quod est intra velum coram propitiatorio quo tegitur arca, ut non moriatur (quia in nube apparebo super oraculum)
3 `no but he do these thingis bifore. He schal offer a calf for synne, and a ram in to brent sacrifice;
nisi hæc ante fecerit: Vitulum pro peccato offeret, et arietem in holocaustum.
4 he schal be clothid with a lynnun coote, he schal hide the schamefast membris with pryuy lynnun clothis; he schal be gird with a lynnun girdil, he schal putte a lynnun mytre on his heed; for these clothis ben hooli, with whiche alle he schal be clothid, whanne he is waischun.
Tunica linea vestietur, feminalibus lineis verenda celabit: accingetur zona linea, cidarim lineam imponet capiti: hæc enim vestimenta sunt sancta: quibus cunctis, cum lotus fuerit, induetur.
5 And he schal take of al the multitude of the sones of Israel twei kidis for synne, and o ram in to brent sacrifice;
Suscipietque ab universa multitudine filiorum Israel duos hircos pro peccato, et unum arietem in holocaustum.
6 and whanne he offrith a calf, and preieth for hym,
Cumque obtulerit vitulum, et oraverit pro se et pro domo sua,
7 and for his hows, he schal make twei `buckis of geet to stonde bifor the Lord, in the dore of the tabernacle of witnessyng;
duos hircos stare faciet coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii:
8 and he schal sende `on euer eithir, o lot to the Lord, and another lot to the goot that schal be sent out.
mittensque super utrumque sortem, unam Domino, alteram capro emissario:
9 Whos lot goith out to the Lord, he schal offre it for synne;
cuius exierit sors Domino, offeret illum pro peccato:
10 sotheli whos lot goith out in to goot that schal be sent out, he schal sette hym quyk bifor the Lord, that he sende preyers `on hym, and sende hym out in to wildirnesse.
cuius autem in caprum emissarium, statuet eum vivum coram Domino, ut fundat preces super eo, et emittat eum in solitudinem.
11 Whanne these thingis ben doon riytfuli, he schal offre the calf, and `he schal preye for hym silf, and for his hows, and schal offre the calf.
His rite celebratis, offeret vitulum et rogans pro se et pro domo sua, immolabit eum:
12 And whanne he hath take the censeer, which he hath fillid of the coolis of the auter, and `he hath take in hond the `swete smellynge spicery maad into encense, he schal entre ouer the veil in to the hooli thingis;
assumptoque thuribulo, quod de prunis altaris impleverit, et hauriens manu compositum thymiama in incensum, ultra velum intrabit in Sancta:
13 that whanne swete smellynge spiceries ben put on the fier, the cloude and `vapour of tho hile Goddis answeryng place, which is on the witnessyng, and he die not.
ut positis super ignem aromatibus, nebula eorum et vapor operiat oraculum, quod est supra testimonium, et non moriatur.
14 Also he schal take of the `blood of the calf, and he schal sprenge seuensithis with the fyngur ayens `the propiciatorie, `to the eest.
Tollet quoque de sanguine vituli, et asperget digito septies contra propitiatorium ad orientem.
15 And whanne he hath slayn the `buk of geet, for synne of the puple, he schal brynge in the blood therof with ynne the veil, as it is comaundid of the `blood of the calf, that he sprynge euene ayens Goddis answeryng place,
Cumque mactaverit hircum pro peccato populi, inferet sanguinem eius intra velum, sicut præceptum est de sanguine vituli, ut aspergat e regione oraculi,
16 and he schal clense the seyntuarie fro vnclennessis of the sones of Israel, and fro her trespassyngis, and alle synnes. Bi this custom he schal do in the tabernacle of witnessyng, which is set among hem, in the myddis of partis of the abitacioun `of hem.
et expiet Sanctuarium ab immunditiis filiorum Israel, et a prævaricationibus eorum, cunctisque peccatis. Iuxta hunc ritum faciet tabernaculo testimonii, quod fixum est inter eos in medio sordium habitationis eorum.
17 No man be in the tabernacle, whanne the bischop schal entre in to the seyntuarie, that he preye for hym silf, and for his hows, and for al the cumpeny of Israel, til he go out of the tabernacle.
Nullus hominum sit in tabernaculo quando pontifex Sanctuarium ingreditur, ut roget pro se et pro domo sua, et pro universo cœtu Israel donec egrediatur.
18 Sotheli whanne he hath go out to the auter which is bifor the Lord, preye he for hym silf, and schede he on the hornes therof, bi cumpas, the blood `that is takun of the calf, and of the `buk of geet;
Cum autem exierit ad altare quod coram Domino est, oret pro se, et sumptum sanguinem vituli atque hirci fundat super cornua eius per gyrum:
19 and sprynge he seuensithis with the fyngur, and clense he, and halewe the autir fro vnclennessis of the sones of Israel.
aspergensque digito septies, expiet, et sanctificet illud ab immunditiis filiorum Israel.
20 Aftir that he hath clensid the seyntuarie, and tabernacle, and auter, thanne offre he the lyuynge `buc of geet;
Postquam emundaverit Sanctuarium, et tabernaculum, et altare, tunc offerat hircum viventem:
21 and whanne euer eithir hond is set on the heed therof, knowleche the preest alle the wickidnessis of the sones of Israel, and alle the trespassis and synnes `of hem, whiche the preest schal wische to the heed therof, and schal sende hym out in to deseert bi a man maad redi.
et posita utraque manu super caput eius, confiteatur omnes iniquitates filiorum Israel, et universa delicta atque peccata eorum: quæ imprecans capiti eius, emittet illum per hominem paratum, in desertum.
22 And whanne the `buc of geet hath bore alle the wickidnessis `of hem in to a deseert lond,
Cumque portaverit hircus omnes iniquitates eorum in terram solitariam, et dimissus fuerit in deserto,
23 and is left `in deseert, Aaron schal turn ayen in to the tabernacle of witnessyng; and whanne the clothis ben put of, in whiche he was clothid bifore, whanne he entrid in to the seyntuarie of God, and ben left there,
revertetur Aaron in tabernaculum testimonii, et depositis vestibus, quibus prius indutus erat cum intraret Sanctuarium, relictisque ibi,
24 he schal waische his fleisch in the hooli place, and he schal be clothid in his owen clothis, and aftir that he hath go out, and hath offrid the brent sacrifice of hym silf, and of the puple, he schal preye as wel for hym silf, as for the puple;
lavabit carnem suam in loco sancto, indueturque vestibus suis. Et postquam egressus obtulerit holocaustum suum ac plebis, rogabit tam pro se quam pro populo:
25 and he schal brenne on the auter the innere fatnesse which is offrid for synne.
et adipem, qui oblatus est pro peccatis, adolebit super altare.
26 Sotheli he that leet go the `buk of geet able to be sent out, schal waische hise clothis and bodi with water, and so he schal entre in to the castels.
Ille vero, qui dimiserit caprum emissarium, lavabit vestimenta sua et corpus aqua, et sic ingredietur in castra.
27 Forsothe thei schulen bere out of the castels the calf and `buk of geet, that weren offrid for synne, and whos blood was brouyt in to the seyntuarie, that the clensyng were fillid; and thei schulen brenne bi fier as well the skynnys, as the fleischis and dung of tho.
Vitulum autem et hircum, qui pro peccato fuerant immolati, et quorum sanguis illatus est in Sanctuarium ut expiatio compleretur, asportabunt foras castra, et comburent igni tam pelles quam carnes eorum ac fimum:
28 And who euer brenneth tho, schal waische hise clothis and fleisch in watir, and so he schal entre in to the castels.
et quicumque combusserit ea, lavabit vestimenta sua, et carnem aqua, et sic ingredietur in castra.
29 And this schal be to you a lawful thing euerlastynge; in the seuenthe monethe, in the tenthe dai of the monethe, ye schulen turment youre soulis, and ye schulen not do ony werk, nethir a man borun in the lond, nether a comelyng which is a pilgrym among you.
Eritque vobis hoc legitimum sempiternum: Mense septimo, decima die mensis affligetis animas vestras, nullumque opus facietis, sive indigena, sive advena qui peregrinatur inter vos.
30 The delyueryng fro synne, and the clensyng of you schal be in this dai, ye schulen be clensid bifore the Lord fro alle youre synnes;
In hac die expiatio erit vestri, atque mundatio ab omnibus peccatis vestris: coram Domino mundabimini.
31 for it is sabat of restyng, and ye schulen turment youre soulis bi euerlastynge religioun.
Sabbatum enim requietionis est, et affligetis animas vestras religione perpetua.
32 Sotheli the preest schal clense, which is anoyntid, and whos hondis ben halewid, that he be set in preesthod for his fadir; and he schal be clothid in a lynnun stoole, and in hooli clothis,
Expiabit autem sacerdos, qui unctus fuerit, et cuius manus initiatæ sunt ut sacerdotio fungatur pro patre suo: indueturque stola linea et vestibus sanctis,
33 and he schal clense the seyntuarie, and the tabernacle of witnessyng, and the auter, and the preestis, and al the puple.
et expiabit Sanctuarium et tabernaculum testimonii atque altare, sacerdotes quoque et universum populum.
34 And this schal be to you a lawful thing euerlastynge, that ye preye for the sones of Israel, and for alle the synnes `of hem, onys in the yeer. Therfor he dide, as the Lord comaundide to Moises.
Eritque vobis hoc legitimum sempiternum, ut oretis pro filiis Israel, et pro cunctis peccatis eorum semel in anno. Fecit igitur sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
