Deuteronomii 16
1 Observa mensem novarum frugum, et verni primum temporis, ut facias Phase Domino Deo tuo: quoniam in isto mense eduxit te Dominus Deus tuus de Ægypto nocte.
Observe the month of Abib, when thou shalt keep a passover unto Yahweh thy God, —for in the month of Abib, did Yahweh thy God bring thee forth out of Egypt by night:
2 Immolabisque Phase Domino Deo tuo de ovibus, et de bobus in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, ut habitet nomen eius ibi.
therefore shalt thou sacrifice a passover unto Yahweh thy God of flock or herd, —in the place which Yahweh shall choose to make a habitation for his name there.
3 Non comedes in eo panem fermentatum: Septem diebus comedes absque fermento, afflictionis panem, quoniam in pavore egressus es de Ægypto: ut memineris diei egressionis tuæ de Ægypto, omnibus diebus vitæ tuæ.
Thou shalt not eat therewith any thing leavened, seven days, shalt thou eat therewith unleavened cakes the bread of humiliation, —for in haste, camest thou forth out of the land of Egypt, that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt, all the days of thy life.
4 Non apparebit fermentum in omnibus terminis tuis septem diebus, et non remanebit de carnibus eius quod immolatum est vespere in die primo usque mane.
And there shall not be seen with thee leaven in any of thy bounds seven days, —neither shall there remain all night of the flesh which thou shalt sacrifice in the evening, on the first day, unto the morning.
5 Non poteris immolare Phase in qualibet urbium tuarum, quas Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi;
Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover, —within any of thine own gates which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee;
6 sed in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, ut habitet nomen eius ibi: immolabis Phase vespere ad solis occasum, quando egressus es de Ægypto.
but in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose to make a habitation for his name, there, shalt thou sacrifice the passover in the evening, —at the going in of the sun, at the very time thou camest forth out of Egypt.
7 Et coques, et comedes in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, maneque consurgens vades in tabernacula tua.
Therefore shalt thou cook and eat it in the place which Yahweh thy God, shall choose, —and shalt turn away in the morning, and go thy way unto thy tents.
8 Sex diebus comedes azyma: et in die septima, quia collecta est Domini Dei tui, non facies opus.
Six days, shalt thou eat unleavened cakes, —and, on the seventh day, shall be a closing feast, unto Yahweh thy God, thou shalt do no work.
9 Septem hebdomadas numerabis tibi ab ea die qua falcem in segetem miseris.
Seven weeks, shalt thou count unto thee, —from the beginning of thrusting in the sickle into the standing corn, shalt thou begin to count, seven weeks.
10 et celebraris diem festum hebdomadarum Domino Deo tuo, oblationem spontaneam manus tuæ, quam offeres iuxta benedictionem Domini Dei tui:
So shalt thou keep the festival of weeks unto Yahweh thy God, in the measure of the freewill offering of thy hand which thou shalt give, —as Yahweh thy God shall bless thee.
11 et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo, tu, filius tuus, et filia tua, servus tuus, et ancilla tua, et Levites qui est intra portas tuas, advena ac pupillus et vidua, qui morantur vobiscum: in loco quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, ut habitet nomen eius ibi:
So shalt thou rejoice before Yahweh thy God—thou, and thy son and thy daughter and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite who is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless and the widow who are in thy midst, —in the place which Yahweh thy God shall choose, to make a habitation for his name there.
12 et recordaberis quoniam servus fueris in Ægypto: custodiesque ac facies quæ præcepta sunt.
So shalt thou remember that a servant, thou wast in Egypt, —and shalt observe and do these statutes.
13 Sollemnitatem quoque tabernaculorum celebrabis per septem dies, quando collegeris de area et torculari fruges tuas:
The festival of booths, shalt thou keep for thyself seven days, —when thou hast gathered in out of thy threshing-floor and out of thy wine-vat.
14 et epulaberis in festivitate tua, tu, filius tuus, et filia, servus tuus et ancilla, Levites quoque et advena, pupillus et vidua qui intra portas tuas sunt.
And thou shalt rejoice in thy festival, —thou, and thy son and thy daughter, and thy servant and thy handmaid, and the Levite and the sojourner, and the fatherless and the widow, who are within thy gates.
15 Septem diebus Domino Deo tuo festa celebrabis in loco quem elegerit Dominus: benedicetque tibi Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis frugibus tuis, et in omni opere manuum tuarum, erisque in lætitia.
Seven days, shalt thou keep festival unto Yahweh thy God, in the place which Yahweh shall choose, —for Yahweh thy God, will bless thee, in all thine increase and in all the work of thy hands, —therefore shalt thou do nothing but, rejoice.
16 Tribus vicibus per annum apparebit omne masculinum tuum in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco quem elegerit: in sollemnitate azymorum, in sollemnitate hebdomadarum, et in sollemnitate tabernaculorum. Non apparebit ante Dominum vacuus:
Three times in the year, shall each one of thy males see the face of Yahweh thy God, in the place which he shall choose, at the festival of unleavened cakes and at the festival of weeks and at the festival of booths, —and none shall see the face of Yahweh empty-handed:
17 sed offeret unusquisque secundum quod habuerit iuxta benedictionem Domini Dei sui, quam dederit ei.
every man according as his hand can give, —according to the blessing of Yahweh thy God, which he hath bestowed upon thee.
18 Iudices et magistros constitues in omnibus portis tuis, quas Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi, per singulas tribus tuas: ut iudicent populum iusto iudicio,
Judges and officers, shalt thou appoint thee in all thy gates, which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, by thy tribes, —and they shall judge the people, with righteous judgment,
19 nec in alteram partem declinent. Non accipies personam, nec munera: quia munera excæcant oculos sapientum, et mutant verba iustorum.
Thou shalt not wrest judgment, thou shalt not take note of faces, —nor shalt thou accept a bribe, for the bribe, blindeth the eyes of wise men, and perverteth the words of righteous men.
20 Iuste quod iustum est persequeris: ut vivas et possideas Terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi.
What is right, what is right, shalt thou pursue, —that thou mayest live and possess the land, which, Yahweh thy God, is giving unto thee.
21 Non plantabis lucum, et omnem arborem iuxta altare Domini Dei tui.
Thou shalt not plant thee, as a sacred stem, any tree, —near unto the altar of Yahweh thy God which thou shalt make for thyself;
22 Nec facies tibi, neque constitues statuam: quæ odit Dominus Deus tuus.
neither shalt thou set thee up a pillar, —which Yahweh thy God, doth hate.
