< Exodus 12 >

1 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron in Terra Ægypti:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Mensis iste, vobis principium mensium: 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 cœtum filiorum Israel, et dicite eis: Decima die mensis huius tollat unusquisque agnum per familias et domos suas.
Speak ye 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 their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household.
4 Sin autem minor est numerus ut sufficere possit ad vescendum agnum, assumet vicinum suum qui iunctus est domui suæ, iuxta numerum animarum quæ sufficere possunt ad esum agni.
And if the household be too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls, according to every man's eating ye shall make your count for the lamb.
5 Erit autem agnus absque macula, masculus, anniculus: iuxta quem ritum tolletis et hœdum.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. Ye shall take it from the sheep, or from the goats.
6 Et servabitis eum usque ad quartam decimam diem mensis huius: immolabitque eum universa multitudo filiorum Israel ad vesperam.
And ye shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month, and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
7 Et sument de sanguine eius, ac ponent super utrumque postem, et in superliminaribus domorum, in quibus comedent illum.
And they shall take of the blood, and put it on the two side-posts and on the lintel upon the houses in which 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, roasted with fire, and unleavened bread, with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
9 Non comedetis ex eo crudum quid, nec coctum aqua, sed tantum assum igni: caput cum pedibus eius et intestinis vorabitis.
Do not eat of it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire, its head with its legs and with the inwards of it.
10 Nec remanebit quidquam ex eo usque mane. si quid residuum fuerit, igne comburetis.
And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning, but that which remains of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 Sic autem comedetis illum: Renes vestros accingetis, et calceamenta habebitis in pedibus, tenentes baculos in manibus, et comedetis festinanter: est enim Phase (id est, transitus) Domini.
And thus ye shall eat it: with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And ye shall eat it in haste. It is Jehovah's Passover.
12 Et transibo per Terram Ægypti nocte illa, percutiamque omne primogenitum in Terra Ægypti ab homine usque ad pecus: et in cunctis diis Ægypti faciam iudicia, ego Dominus.
For I will go through the land of Egypt in that 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 judgments. I am Jehovah.
13 Erit autem sanguis vobis in signum in ædibus in quibus eritis: et videbo sanguinem, et transibo vos: nec erit in vobis plaga disperdens quando percussero Terram Ægypti.
And the blood shall be to you for a sign upon the houses where ye are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 Habebitis autem hunc diem in monimentum: et celebrabitis eam sollemnem Domino in generationibus vestris cultu sempiterno.
And this day shall be to you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to Jehovah; throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
15 Septem diebus azyma comedetis: in die primo non erit fermentum in domibus vestris: quicumque comederit fermentatum, peribit anima illa de Israel, a primo die usque ad diem septimum.
Seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread, even the first day ye 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, quæ ad vescendum pertinent.
And in the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation, no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
17 Et observabitis azyma: in eadem enim ipsa die educam exercitum vestrum de Terra Ægypti, et custodietis diem istum in generationes vestras ritu perpetuo.
And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread, for in this selfsame day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore ye shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
18 Primo mense, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam comedetis azyma usque ad diem vigesimam primam eiusdem mensis ad vesperam.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.
19 Septem diebus fermentum non invenietur in domibus vestris: qui comederit fermentatum, peribit anima eius de cœtu Israel, tam de advenis quam de indigenis terræ.
Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a sojourner, or one who is born in the land.
20 Omne fermentatum non comedetis: in cunctis habitaculis vestris edetis azyma.
Ye shall eat nothing leavened, in all your habitations ye shall eat unleavened bread.
21 Vocavit autem Moyses omnes seniores filiorum Israel, et dixit ad eos: Ite tollentes animal per familias vestras, et immolate Phase.
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out, and take to you lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover.
22 Fasciculumque hyssopi tingite in sanguine qui est in limine, et aspergite ex eo superliminare, et utrumque postem: nullus vestrum egrediatur ostium domus suæ usque mane.
And ye 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 of the door of his house until the morning.
23 Transibit enim Dominus percutiens Ægyptios: cumque viderit sanguinem in superliminari, et in utroque poste, transcendet ostium domus, et non sinet Percussorem ingredi domos vestras et lædere.
For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.
24 Custodi verbum istud legitimum tibi et filiis tuis usque in æternum.
And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever.
25 Cumque introieritis terram, quam Dominus daturus est vobis ut pollicitus est, observabitis ceremonias istas.
And it shall come to pass, when ye have come to the land which Jehovah will give you, according as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 Et cum dixerint vobis filii vestri: Quæ est ista religio?
And it shall come to pass, when your sons shall say to you, What do ye mean by this service?
27 dicetis eis: Victima transitus Domini est, quando transivit super domos filiorum Israel in Ægypto percutiens Ægyptios, et domos nostras liberans. Incurvatusque populus adoravit.
that ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of Jehovah's Passover, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshiped.
28 Et egressi filii Israel fecerunt sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
And the sons of Israel went and did so, as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 Factum est autem in noctis medio, percussit Dominus omne primogenitum in Terra Ægypti, a primogenito Pharaonis, qui in solio eius sedebat, usque ad primogenitum captivæ quæ erat in carcere, et omne primogenitum iumentorum.
And it came to pass at midnight, that Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 Surrexitque Pharao nocte, et omnes servi eius, cunctaque Ægyptus: et ortus est clamor magnus in Ægypto: 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 Pharao, Moyse, et Aaron nocte, ait: Surgite et egredimini a populo meo, vos et filii Israel: ite, immolate Domino sicut dicitis.
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.
32 Oves vestras et armenta assumite ut petieratis, et abeuntes benedicite mihi.
Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone, and bless me also.
33 Urgebantque Ægyptii populum de terra exire velociter, dicentes: Omnes moriemur.
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, We are all dead men.
34 Tulit igitur populus conspersam farinam antequam fermentaretur: et ligans in palliis, posuit super humeros suos.
And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 Feceruntque filii Israel sicut præceperat Moyses: et petierunt ab Ægyptiis vasa argentea et aurea, vestemque plurimam.
And the sons of Israel did according to the word of Moses, and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.
36 Dominus autem dedit gratiam populo coram Ægyptiis ut commodarent eis: et spoliaverunt Ægyptios.
And Jehovah gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And they despoiled the Egyptians.
37 Profectique sunt filii Israel de Ramesse in Socoth, sexcenta fere millia peditum virorum, absque parvulis.
And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, besides children.
38 Sed et vulgus promiscuum innumerabile ascendit cum eis, oves et armenta et animantia diversi generis multa nimis.
And a mixed multitude also went up with them, and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
39 Coxeruntque farinam, quam dudum de Ægypto conspersam tulerant: et fecerunt subcinericios panes azymos: neque enim poterant fermentari cogentibus exire Ægyptiis, et nullam facere sinentibus moram: nec pulmenti quidquam occurrerat præparare.
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 provisions.
40 Habitatio autem filiorum Israel qua manserunt in Ægypto, fuit quadringentorum triginta annorum.
Now the time that the sons of Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan was four hundred and thirty years.
41 Quibus expletis, eadem die egressus est omnis exercitus Domini de Terra Ægypti.
And it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the armies of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt.
42 Nox ista est observabilis Domini, quando eduxit eos de Terra Ægypti: hanc observare debent omnes filii Israel in generationibus suis.
It is a night to be much observed to Jehovah for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Jehovah, to be much observed of all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.
43 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron: Hæc est religio Phase: Omnis alienigena non comedet ex eo.
And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover. There shall no foreigner eat of it,
44 Omnis autem servus emptitius circumcidetur, et sic comedet.
but every man's servant who is bought for money, when thou have circumcised him, then he shall eat of it.
45 Advena et mercenarius non edent ex eo.
A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
46 In una domo comedetur, nec efferetis de carnibus eius foras, nec os illius confringetis.
In one house it shall be eaten. Thou shall not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house, neither shall ye break a bone of it.
47 Omnis cœtus filiorum Israel 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 terræ: si quis autem circumcisus non fuerit, non vescetur ex eo.
And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it, and he shall be as one who is born in the land, but no uncircumcised man shall eat of it.
49 Eadem lex erit indigenæ et colono qui peregrinatur apud vos.
One law shall be to him who is home-born, and to the stranger who sojourns among you.
50 Feceruntque omnes filii Israel sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
Thus did all the sons of Israel, as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 Et eadem die eduxit Dominus filios Israel de terra Ægypti per turmas suas.
And it came to pass the selfsame day, that Jehovah brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
