Leviticus 23
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Yahweh spoke to Moses:
2 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Hæ sunt feriæ Domini, quas vocabitis sanctas.
“Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them, 'These are the appointed festivals for Yahweh, which you must proclaim as holy assemblies; they are my regular festivals.
3 Sex diebus facietis opus: dies septimus, quia sabbati requies est, vocabitur sanctus. omne opus non facietis in eo. sabbatum Domini est in cunctis habitationibus vestris.
You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy assembly. You must do no work because it is a Sabbath for Yahweh in all the places where you live.
4 Hæ sunt ergo feriæ Domini sanctæ, quas celebrare debetis temporibus suis.
These are the appointed festivals of Yahweh, the holy assemblies that you must announce at their appointed times:
5 Mense primo, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperum, Phase Domini est:
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is Yahweh's Passover.
6 et quintadecima die mensis huius, sollemnitas azymorum Domini est. Septem diebus azyma comedetis.
On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread for Yahweh. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
7 dies primus erit vobis celeberrimus, sanctusque: omne opus servile non facietis in eo:
The first day you must set apart to gather together; you will not do any of your regular work.
8 sed offeretis sacrificium in igne Domino septem diebus. dies autem septimus erit celebrior et sanctior: nullumque servile opus facietis in eo.
You will present a food offering to Yahweh for seven days. The seventh day is an assembly set apart to Yahweh, and on that day you must not do any regular work.'”
9 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10 Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Cum ingressi fueritis terram, quam ego dabo vobis, et messueritis segetem, feretis manipulos spicarum, primitias messis vestræ ad sacerdotem:
“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you have come into the land that I will give you, and when you reap its harvest, then you must bring a bundle of the firstfruit of the grain to the priest.
11 qui elevabit fasciculum coram Domino, ut acceptabile sit pro vobis, altero die Sabbati, et sanctificabit illum.
He will raise the bundle of grain before Yahweh and present it to him, for it to be accepted on your behalf. It is on the day after the Sabbath that the priest will raise it and present it to me.
12 Atque in eodem die quo manipulus consecratur, cædetur agnus immaculatus anniculus in holocaustum Domini.
On the day when you raise the bundle of grain and present it to me, you must offer a male lamb one year old and without blemish as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
13 Et libamenta offerentur cum eo, duæ decimæ similæ conspersæ oleo in incensum Domini, odoremque suavissimum: liba quoque vini, quarta pars hin.
The grain offering must be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, to produce a sweet aroma, and with it a drink offering of wine, a fourth of a hin.
14 Panem, et polentam, et pultes non comedetis ex segete, usque ad diem qua offeretis ex ea Deo vestro. Præceptum est sempiternum in generationibus, cunctisque habitaculis vestris.
You must eat no bread, nor roasted or fresh grain, until the same day you have brought this offering to your God. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations, in every place that you live.
15 Numerabitis ergo ab altero die Sabbati, in quo obtulistis manipulum primitiarum, septem hebdomadas plenas,
Beginning from the day after the Sabbath—that was the day you brought the bundle of grain as the wave offering—count seven full weeks.
16 usque ad alteram diem expletionis hebdomadæ septimæ, id est quinquaginta dies: et sic offeretis sacrificium novum Domino
You must count fifty days, which would be the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you must present an offering of new grain to Yahweh.
17 ex omnibus habitaculis vestris, panes primitiarum duos de duabus decimis similæ fermentatæ, quos coquetis in primitias Domini.
You must bring out of your houses two loaves made from two-tenths of an ephah. They must be made from fine flour and baked with yeast; they will be a wave offering of the firstfruits to Yahweh.
18 Offeretisque cum panibus septem agnos immaculatos anniculos, et vitulum de armento unum, et arietes duos, et erunt in holocaustum cum libamentis suis, in odorem suavissimum Domini.
You must present with the bread seven lambs one year old and without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They must be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire and producing a sweet aroma for Yahweh.
19 Facietis et hircum pro peccato, duosque agnos anniculos hostias pacificorum.
You must offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice, as fellowship offerings.
20 Cumque elevaverit eos sacerdos cum panibus primitiarum coram Domino, cedent in usum eius.
The priest must wave them together with the bread of the firstfruits before Yahweh, and present them to him as an offering with the two lambs. They will be holy offerings to Yahweh for the priest.
21 Et vocabitis hunc diem celeberrimum, atque sanctissimum: omne opus servile non facietis in eo. Legitimum sempiternum erit in cunctis habitaculis, et generationibus vestris.
You must make a proclamation on that same day. There will be a holy assembly, and you must do no ordinary work. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations in all the places where you live.
22 Postquam autem messueritis segetem terræ vestræ, nec secabitis eam usque ad solum: nec remanentes spicas colligetis, sed pauperibus et peregrinis dimittetis eas. Ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not completely reap the corners of your fields, and you must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.'”
23 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Loquere filiis Israel: Mense septimo, prima die mensis, erit vobis sabbatum, memoriale, clangentibus tubis, et vocabitur sanctum:
“Speak to the people of Israel and say, 'In the seventh month, the first day of that month will be a solemn rest for you, a memorial with the blowing of trumpets, and a holy assembly.
25 omne opus servile non facietis in eo, et offeretis holocaustum Domino.
You must do no ordinary work, and you must offer a sacrifice made by fire to Yahweh.'”
26 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
27 Decimo die mensis huius septimi, dies expiationum erit celeberrimus, et vocabitur sanctus: affligetisque animas vestras in eo, et offeretis holocaustum Domino.
“Now the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It is to be a holy assembly, and you must humble yourselves and present to Yahweh an offering by fire.
28 Omne opus servile non facietis in tempore diei huius: quia dies propitiationis est, ut propitietur vobis Dominus Deus vester.
You must do no work on that day because it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for yourselves before Yahweh your God.
29 Omnis anima, quæ afflicta non fuerit die hac, peribit de populis suis:
Whoever does not humble himself on that day must be cut off from his people.
30 et quæ operis quippiam fecerit, delebo eam de populo suo.
Whoever does any work on that day, I, Yahweh, will destroy him from among his people.
31 Nihil ergo operis facietis in eo: legitimum sempiternum erit vobis in cunctis generationibus, et habitationibus vestris.
You must do no work of any kind on that day. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations in all the places where you live.
32 sabbatum requietionis est, et affligetis animas vestras die nono mensis: A vespera usque ad vesperam celebrabitis sabbata vestra.
This day must be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you must humble yourselves the ninth day of the month at the evening. From evening to evening you are to observe your Sabbath.”
33 Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
34 Loquere filiis Israel: A quintodecimo die mensis huius septimi, erunt feriæ tabernaculorum septem diebus Domino.
“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month will be the Festival of Shelters for Yahweh. It will last seven days.
35 Dies primus vocabitur celeberrimus atque sanctissimus: omne opus servile non facietis in eo.
On the first day there must be a holy assembly. You must do no ordinary work.
36 Et septem diebus offeretis holocausta Domino. dies quoque octavus erit celeberrimus atque sanctissimus, et offeretis holocaustum Domino: est enim cœtus atque collectæ: omne opus servile non facietis in eo.
For seven days you must offer a sacrifice made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day there must be a holy assembly, and you must make a sacrifice offered with fire to Yahweh. This is a solemn assembly, and you must not do any ordinary work.
37 Hæ sunt feriæ Domini, quas vocabitis celeberrimas atque sanctissimas, offeretisque in eis oblationes Domino, holocausta et libamenta iuxta ritum uniuscuiusque diei:
These are the appointed festivals for Yahweh, which you must proclaim as holy assemblies to offer sacrifice by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering and a grain offering, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its own day.
38 exceptis sabbatis Domini, donisque vestris, et quæ offeretis ex voto, vel quæ sponte tribuetis Domino.
These festivals will be in addition to the Sabbaths of Yahweh and your gifts, all your vows, and all your freewill offerings that you give to Yahweh.
39 A quintodecimo ergo die mensis septimi, quando congregaveritis omnes fructus terræ vestræ, celebrabitis ferias Domini septem diebus. die primo et die octavo erit sabbatum, id est requies.
Regarding the Festival of Shelters, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you must keep this festival of Yahweh for seven days. The first day will be a solemn rest, and the eighth day will also be a solemn rest.
40 Sumetisque vobis die primo fructus arboris pulcherrimæ, spatulasque palmarum, et ramos ligni densarum frondium, et salices de torrente, et lætabimini coram Domino Deo vestro.
On the first day you must take the best fruit from the trees, branches of palm trees, and leafy branches of thick trees, and willows from streams, and you will rejoice before Yahweh your God for seven days.
41 celebrabitisque sollemnitatem eius septem diebus per annum. legitimum sempiternum erit in generationibus vestris. Mense septimo festa celebrabitis,
For seven days each year, you must celebrate this festival for Yahweh. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations in all the places where you live. You must celebrate this festival in the seventh month.
42 et habitabitis in umbraculis septem diebus. omnis, qui de genere est Israel, manebit in tabernaculis:
You must live in small shelters for seven days. All native-born Israelites must live in small shelters for seven days,
43 ut discant posteri vestri quod in tabernaculis habitare fecerim filios Israel, cum educerem eos de Terra Ægypti. ego Dominus Deus vester.
so that your descendants, generation after generation, may learn how I made the people of Israel live in such shelters when I led them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.'”
44 Locutusque est Moyses super sollemnitatibus Domini ad filios Israel.
In this way, Moses announced to the people of Israel the appointed festivals for Yahweh.
