Liber Numeri 9
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai anno secundo, postquam egressi sunt de Terra Ægypti, mense primo dicens:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they came out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Faciant filii Israel Phase in tempore suo,
Moreover let the sons of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.
3 quartadecima die mensis huius ad vesperam, iuxta omnes ceremonias et iustificationes eius.
In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, ye shall keep it in its appointed season. According to all the statutes of it, and according to all the ordinances of it, ye shall keep it.
4 Præcepitque Moyses filiis Israel ut facerent Phase.
And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.
5 Qui fecerunt tempore suo: quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam in monte Sinai. Iuxta omnia quæ mandaverat Dominus Moysi, fecerunt filii Israel.
And they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did the sons of Israel.
6 Ecce autem quidam immundi super anima hominis, qui non poterant facere Phase in die illo, accedentes ad Moysen et Aaron,
And there were certain men who were unclean by reason of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day. And they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day,
7 dixerunt eis: Immundi sumus super anima hominis. Quare fraudamur ut non valeamus oblationem offerre Domino in tempore suo inter filios Israel?
and those men said to him, We are unclean by reason of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season among the sons of Israel?
8 Quibus respondit Moyses: State ut consulam quid præcipiat Dominus de vobis.
And Moses said to them, Stay ye, that I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you.
9 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
10 Loquere filiis Israel: Homo qui fuerit immundus super anima, sive in via procul in gente vestra, faciat Phase Domino
Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your generations shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be on a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the Passover to Jehovah.
11 in mense secundo, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam: cum azymis et lactucis agrestibus comedent illud:
In the second month on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it. They shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12 non relinquent ex eo quippiam usque mane, et os eius non confringent, omnem ritum Phase observabunt.
They shall leave none of it to the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
13 Si quis autem et mundus est, et in itinere non fuit, et tamen non fecit Phase, exterminabitur anima illa de populis suis, quia sacrificium Domino non obtulit tempore suo: peccatum suum ipse portabit.
But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and forbears to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people, because he did not offer the oblation of Jehovah in its appointed season; that man shall bear his sin.
14 Peregrinus quoque et advena si fuerint apud vos, facient Phase Domino iuxta ceremonias et iustificationes eius. Præceptum idem erit apud vos tam advenæ quam indigenæ.
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the Passover to Jehovah, according to the statute of the Passover, and according to the ordinance of it, so shall he do. Ye shall have one statute, both for the sojourner, and for him who is born in the land.
15 Igitur die qua erectum est tabernaculum, operuit illud nubes. A vespere autem super tentorium erat quasi species ignis usque mane.
And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony, and at evening it was upon the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
16 Sic fiebat iugiter: per diem operiebat illud nubes, et per noctem quasi species ignis.
So it was always: the cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.
17 Cumque ablata fuisset nubes, quæ tabernaculum protegebat, tunc proficiscebantur filii Israel: et in loco ubi stetisset nubes, ibi castrametabantur.
And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tent, then after that the sons of Israel journeyed. And in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel encamped.
18 Ad imperium Domini proficiscebantur, et ad imperium illius figebant tabernaculum. Cunctis diebus quibus stabat nubes super tabernaculum, manebant in eodem loco:
At the commandment of Jehovah the sons of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of Jehovah they encamped. As long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they remained encamped.
19 et si evenisset ut multo tempore maneret super illud, erant filii Israel in excubiis Domini, et non proficiscebantur
And when the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle many days, then the sons of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and did not journey.
20 quot diebus fuisset nubes super tabernaculum. Ad imperium Domini erigebant tentoria, et ad imperium illius deponebant.
And sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle, then according to the commandment of Jehovah they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed.
21 Si fuisset nubes a vespere usque mane, et statim diluculo tabernaculum reliquisset, proficiscebantur: et, si post diem et noctem recessisset, dissipabant tentoria.
And sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning, and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they journeyed, or if by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
22 Si vero biduo aut uno mense vel longiori tempore fuisset super tabernaculum, manebant filii Israel in eodem loco, et non proficiscebantur: statim autem ut recessisset, movebant castra.
Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, abiding on it, the sons of Israel remained encamped, and did not journey, but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
23 Per verbum Domini figebant tentoria, et per verbum illius proficiscebantur: erantque in excubiis Domini iuxta imperium eius per manum Moysi.
At the commandment of Jehovah they encamped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they journeyed. They kept the charge of Jehovah, at the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
