Leviticus 10
1 Arreptisque Nadab, et Abiu filii Aaron thuribulis, posuerunt ignem, et incensum desuper, offerentes coram Domino ignem alienum: quod eis præceptum non erat.
Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he had not commanded them.
2 Egressusque ignis a Domino, devoravit eos, et mortui sunt coram Domino.
Fire came out from before the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
3 Dixitque Moyses ad Aaron: Hoc est quod locutus est Dominus: Sanctificabor in iis, qui appropinquant mihi, et in conspectu omnis populi glorificabor. Quod audiens tacuit Aaron.
Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD spoke of, saying, ‘I will show myself holy to those who come near me, and before all the people I will be glorified.’” Aaron held his peace.
4 Vocatis autem Moyses Misaele, et Elisaphan filiis Oziel, patrui Aaron, ait ad eos: Ite et tollite fratres vestros de conspectu Sanctuarii, et asportate extra castra.
Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, “Draw near, carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.”
5 Confestimque pergentes, tulerunt eos sicut iacebant, vestitos lineis tunicis, et eiecerunt foras, ut sibi fuerat imperatum.
So they came near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.
6 Locutusque est Moyses ad Aaron, et ad Eleazar, et Ithamar filios eius: Capita vestra nolite nudare, et vestimenta nolite scindere, ne forte moriamini, et super omnem cœtum oriatur indignatio. Fratres vestri, et omnis domus Israel plangant incendium quod Dominus suscitavit:
Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, “Don’t let the hair of your heads go loose, and don’t tear your clothes, so that you don’t die, and so that he will not be angry with all the congregation; but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD has kindled.
7 vos autem non egrediemini fores tabernaculi, alioquin peribitis: oleum quippe sanctæ unctionis est super vos. Qui fecerunt omnia iuxta præceptum Moysi.
You shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you die; for the anointing oil of the LORD is on you.” They did according to the word of Moses.
8 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Aaron:
Then the LORD said to Aaron,
9 Vinum, et omne quod inebriare potest, non bibetis tu et filii tui, quando intratis in tabernaculum testimonii, ne moriamini: quia præceptum sempiternum est in generationes vestras.
“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.
10 Et ut habeatis scientiam discernendi inter sanctum et profanum, inter pollutum et mundum:
You are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.
11 doceatisque filios Israel omnia legitima mea quæ locutus est Dominus ad eos per manum Moysi.
You are to teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD has spoken to them by Moses.”
12 Locutusque est Moyses ad Aaron, et ad Eleazar, et Ithamar filios eius, qui erant residui: Tollite sacrificium, quod remansit de oblatione Domini, et comedite illud absque fermento iuxta altare, quia Sanctum sanctorum est.
Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, “Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without yeast beside the altar; for it is most holy;
13 Comedetis autem in loco sancto: quod datum est tibi et filiis tuis de oblationibus Domini, sicut præceptum est mihi.
and you shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your portion, and your sons’ portion, of the offerings of the LORD made by fire; for so I am commanded.
14 Pectusculum quoque quod oblatum est, et armum qui separatus est, edetis in loco mundissimo tu et filii tui, et filiæ tuæ tecum. tibi enim ac liberis tuis reposita sunt de hostiis salutaribus filiorum Israel:
The waved breast and the heaved thigh you shall eat in a clean place, you, and your sons, and your daughters with you: for they are given as your portion, and your sons’ portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.
15 eo quod armum et pectus, et adipes qui cremantur in altari, elevaverunt coram Domino, et pertineant ad te, et ad filios tuos lege perpetua, sicut præcepit Dominus.
They shall bring the heaved thigh and the waved breast with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD. It shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever, as the LORD has commanded.”
16 Inter hæc, hircum, qui oblatus fuerat pro peccato, cum quæreret Moyses, exustum reperit: iratusque contra Eleazar et Ithamar filios Aaron, qui remanserant, ait:
Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burned. He was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,
17 Cur non comedistis hostiam pro peccato in loco sancto, quæ Sancta sanctorum est, et data vobis ut portetis iniquitatem multitudinis, et rogetis pro ea in conspectu Domini,
“Why haven’t you eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is most holy, and he has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
18 præsertim cum de sanguine illius non sit illatum intra sancta, et comedere debueritis eam in Sanctuario, sicut præceptum est mihi?
Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary. You certainly should have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.”
19 Respondit Aaron: Oblata est hodie victima pro peccato, et holocaustum coram Domino: mihi autem accidit quod vides. quomodo potui comedere eam, aut placere Domino in ceremoniis mente lugubri?
Aaron spoke to Moses, “Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things as these have happened to me. If I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been pleasing in the LORD’s sight?”
20 Quod cum audisset Moyses, recepit satisfactionem.
When Moses heard that, it was pleasing in his sight.
