Numbers 15
1 And the Lord spak to Moises, and seide, Speke thou to the sones of Israel,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 and thou schalt seie to hem, Whanne ye han entrid in to the lond of youre abitacioun which Y schal yyue to you,
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,
3 and ye make an offryng to the Lord in to brent sacrifice, ether a pesible sacrifice, and ye payen auowis, ethir offren yiftis bi fre wille, ethir in youre solempnytees ye brennen odour of swetnesse to the Lord, of oxun, ether of scheep;
and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh—a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a free will offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock—
4 who euer offrith the slayn sacrifice, schal offre a sacrifice of flour, the tenthe part of ephi, spreynt togidere with oile, which oil schal haue a mesure the fourthe part of hyn;
then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of oil.
5 and he schal yyue wyn to fletynge sacrifices to be sched, of the same mesure, in to brent sacrifice, and slayn sacrifice.
You shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
6 Bi ech loomb and ram schal be the sacrifice of flour, of twey tenthe partis, which schal be spreynt togidere with oile, of the thridde part of hyn;
“‘For a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil;
7 and he schal offre wyn to the fletynge sacrifice, of the thridde part of the same mesure, in to odour of swetnesse to the Lord.
and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
8 Forsothe whanne thou makist a brent sacrifice, ethir an offryng of oxun, that thou fille avow, ethir pesible sacrifice, thou schalt yyue,
When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh,
9 bi ech oxe, thre tenthe partis of flour, spreynt togidere with oile, which schal haue the half of mesure of hyn;
then he shall offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;
10 and thou schalt yyue wyn to fletynge sacrifices to be sched, of the same mesure, in to offryng of the swettest odour to the Lord.
and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
11 So ye schulen do bi ech oxe, and ram,
Thus it shall be done for each bull, for each ram, for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.
12 and lomb, and kide;
According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.
13 as wel men borun in the lond,
“‘All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
14 as pilgrymys, schulen offre sacrifices bi the same custom;
If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, as you do, so he shall do.
15 o comaundement and doom schal be, as wel to you as to comelyngis of the lond.
For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations. As you are, so the foreigner shall be before Yahweh.
16 And the Lord spak to Moises,
One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.’”
17 and seide, Speke thou to the sones of Israel, and thou schalt seie to hem,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18 Whanne ye comen in to the lond which Y schal yyue to you,
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land where I bring you,
19 and `ye eten of the looues of that cuntrey, ye
then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.
20 schulen departe the firste fruytis of youre metis to the Lord; as ye schulen departe the firste fruytis of corn flooris,
Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering. As the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.
21 so ye schulen yyue the firste fruytis also of sewis to the Lord.
Of the first of your dough, you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.
22 That if bi ignoraunce ye passen ony of tho thingis whiche the Lord spak to Moyses,
“‘When you err, and don’t observe all these commandments which Yahweh has spoken to Moses—
23 and comaundide bi hym to you, fro the dai in which he bigan to comaunde,
even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment and onward throughout your generations—
24 and ouer, and the multitude hath foryete to do, it schal offre a calf of the drooue, brent sacrifice in to swettist odour to the Lord, and the sacrificis therof, and fletynge offryngis, as the cerymonyes therof axen; and it schal offre a `buc of geet for synne.
then it shall be, if it was done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with its meal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.
25 And the preest schal preie for al the multitude of the sones of Israel, and it schal be foryouun to hem, for thei synneden not wilfuli. And neuerthelesse thei schulen offre encense to the Lord for hemsilf, and for her synne and errour;
The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error.
26 and it schal be foryouun to al the puple of the sones of Israel, and to comelyngis that ben pilgryms among hem, for it is the synne of al the multitude bi ignoraunce.
All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for with regard to all the people, it was done unwittingly.
27 That if a soule synneth vnwityngli, it schal offre a geet of o yeer for his synne; and the preest schal preye for that soule, for it synnede vnwityngli bifor the Lord;
“‘If a person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.
28 and the preest schal gete foryyuenesse to it, and synne schal be foryouun to it.
The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs when he sins unwittingly before Yahweh. He shall make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
29 As wel to men borun in the lond as to comelyngis, o lawe schal be of alle that synnen vnwityngli.
You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.
30 Forsothe a man that doith ony synne bi pride, schal perische fro his puple, whether he be a citeseyn, ethir a pilgrym, for he was rebel ayens the Lord;
“‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, blasphemes Yahweh. That soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31 for he dispiside the word of the Lord, and made voide his comaundement; therfor he schal be doon awei, and schal bere his owne wickidnes.
Because he has despised Yahweh’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall be utterly cut off. His iniquity shall be on him.’”
32 Forsothe it was doon, whanne the sones of Israel weren in wildirnesse, and hadde founde a man gaderynge woode in the `day of sabat,
While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
33 thei brouyten hym to Moises, and to Aaron, and to al the multitude; whiche closiden hym in to prisoun,
Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.
34 and wisten not what thei schulden do of hym.
They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
35 And the Lord seide to Moises, This man die bi deeth; al the cumpeny oppresse hym with stoonus with out the tentis.
Yahweh said to Moses, “The man shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.”
36 And whanne thei hadden led hym with out forth, thei oppressiden him with stoonus, and he was deed, as the Lord comaundide.
All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
37 Also the Lord seide to Moises,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
38 Speke thou to the sones of Israel, and thou schalt seye to hem, that thei make to hem hemmes bi foure corneris of mentils, and sette laces of iacynct `in tho;
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue.
39 and whanne thei seen thoo, haue thei mynde of alle comaundementis of the Lord, lest thei suen her thouytis and iyen, doynge fornycacioun bi dyuerse thingis;
It shall be to you for a fringe, that you may see it, and remember all Yahweh’s commandments, and do them; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to play the prostitute;
40 but more be thei myndeful of the `Lordis heestis, and do thei tho, and be thei hooli to her God.
so that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.
41 Y am youre Lord God, which ledde you out of the lond of Egipt, that Y schulde be youre God.
I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God.”
