Exodus 12
1 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron in Terra Aegypti:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
2 Mensis iste, vobis principium mensium: primus erit in mensibus anni.
Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.
3 Loquimini ad universum coetum filiorum Israel, et dicite eis: Decima die mensis huius tollat unusquisque agnum per familias et domos suas.
Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:
4 Sin autem minor est numerus ut sufficere possit ad vescendum agnum, assumet vicinum suum qui iunctus est domui suae, iuxta numerum animarum quae sufficere possunt ad esum agni.
And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.
5 Erit autem agnus absque macula, masculus, anniculus: iuxta quem ritum tolletis et hoedum.
Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:
6 Et servabitis eum usque ad quartam decimam diem mensis huius: immolabitque eum universa multitudo filiorum Israel ad vesperam.
Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.
7 Et sument de sanguine eius, ac ponent super utrumque postem, et in superliminaribus domorum, in quibus comedent illum.
Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.
8 Et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni, et azymos panes cum lactucis agrestibus.
And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.
9 Non comedetis ex eo crudum quid, nec coctum aqua, sed assum tantum igni: caput cum pedibus eius et intestinis vorabitis.
Do not take it uncooked or cooked with boiling water, but let it be cooked in the oven; its head with its legs and its inside parts.
10 Nec remanebit quidquam ex eo usque mane. si quid residuum fuerit, igne comburetis.
Do not keep any of it till the morning; anything which is not used is to be burned 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 (idest, transitus) Domini.
And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.
12 Et transibo per Terram Aegypti nocte illa, percutiamque omne primogenitum in Terra Aegypti ab homine usque ad pecus: et in cunctis diis Aegypti faciam iudicia, ego Dominus.
For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.
13 Erit autem sanguis vobis in signum in aedibus in quibus eritis: et videbo sanguinem, et transibo vos: nec erit in vobis plaga disperdens quando percussero Terram Aegypti.
And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt.
14 Habebitis autem hunc diem in monumentum: et celebrabitis eam sollemnem Domino in generationibus vestris cultu sempiterno.
And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.
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.
For seven days let your food be unleavened bread; from the first day no leaven is to be seen in your houses: whoever takes bread with leaven in it, from the first till the seventh day, will 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, quae ad vescendum pertinent.
And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.
17 Et observabitis azyma: in eadem enim ipsa die educam exercitum vestrum de Terra Aegypti, et custodietis diem istum in generationes vestras ritu perpetuo.
So keep the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have taken your armies out of the land of Egypt: this day, then, is to be kept through all your generations by an order for ever.
18 Primo mense, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam comedetis azyma usque ad diem vigesimam primam eiusdem mensis ad vesperam.
In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day, let your food be unleavened bread till the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.
19 Septem diebus fermentatum non invenietur in domibus vestris: qui comederit fermentatum, peribit anima eius de coetu Israel, tam de advenis quam de indigenis terrae.
For seven days no leaven is to be seen in your houses: for whoever takes bread which is leavened will be cut off from the people of Israel, if he is from another country or if he is an Israelite by birth.
20 Omne fermentatum non comedetis: in cunctis habitaculis vestris edetis azyma.
Take nothing which has leaven in it; wherever you are living let your food be unleavened cakes.
21 Vocavit autem Moyses omnes seniores filiorum Israel, et dixit ad eos: Ite tollentes animal per familias vestras, et immolate Phase.
Then Moses sent for the chiefs of Israel, and said to them, See that lambs are marked out for yourselves and your families, and let the Passover lamb be put to death.
22 Fasciculumque hyssopi tingite in sanguine qui est in limine, et aspergite ex eo superliminare, et utrumque postem: nullus vestrum egrediatur ostium domus suae usque mane.
And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.
23 Transibit enim Dominus percutiens Aegyptios: cumque viderit sanguinem in superliminari, et in utroque poste, transcendet ostium domus, et non sinet percussorem ingredi domos vestras et laedere.
For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.
24 Custodi verbum istud legitimum tibi et filiis tuis usque in aeternum.
And you are to keep this as an order to you and to your sons for ever.
25 Cumque introieritis terram, quam Dominus daturus est vobis ut pollicitus est, observabitis ceremonias istas.
And when you come into the land which the Lord will make yours, as he gave his word, you are to keep this act of worship.
26 Et cum dixerint vobis filii vestri: Quae est ista religio?
And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?
27 dicetis eis: Victima transitus Domini est, quando transivit super domos filiorum Israel in Aegypto percutiens Aegyptios, et domos nostras liberans. Incurvatusque populus adoravit.
Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.
28 Et egressi filii Israel fecerunt sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had given orders to Moses and Aaron, so they did.
29 Factum est autem in noctis medio, percussit Dominus omne primogenitum in Terra Aegypti, a primogenito Pharaonis, qui in solio eius sedebat, usque ad primogenitum captivae quae erat in carcere, et omne primogenitum iumentorum.
And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.
30 Surrexitque Pharao nocte, et omnes servi eius, cunctaque Aegyptus: et ortus est clamor magnus in Aegypto: neque enim erat domus in qua non iaceret mortuus.
Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not 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 sent for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Get up and go out from among my people, you and the children of Israel; go and give worship to the Lord as you have said.
32 Oves vestras et armenta assumite ut petieratis, et abeuntes benedicite mihi.
And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.
33 Urgebantque Aegyptii populum de terra exire velociter, dicentes: Omnes moriemur.
And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; 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 bread-paste before it was leavened, putting their basins in their clothing on their backs.
35 Feceruntque filii Israel sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi: et petierunt ab Aegyptiis vasa argentea et aurea, vestemque plurimam.
And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:
36 Dominus autem dedit gratiam populo coram Aegyptiis ut commodarent eis: et spoliaverunt Aegyptios.
And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.
37 Profectique sunt filii Israel de Ramesse in Socoth, sexcenta fere millia peditum virorum, absque parvulis et mulieribus.
And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.
38 Sed et vulgus promiscuum innumerabile ascendit cum eis, oves et armenta et animantia diversi generis multa nimis.
And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.
39 Coxeruntque farinam, quam dudum de Aegypto conspersam tulerant: et fecerunt subcinericios panes azymos: neque enim poterat fermentari cogentibus exire Aegyptiis, et nullam facere sinentibus moram: nec pulmenti quidquam occurrerat praeparare.
And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.
40 Habitatio autem filiorum Israel qua manserunt in Aegypto, fuit quadringentorum triginta annorum.
Now the children of Israel had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.
41 Quibus expletis, eadem die egressus est omnis exercitus Domini de Terra Aegypti.
And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.
42 Nox ista est observabilis Domini, quando eduxit eos de Terra Aegypti: hanc observare debent omnes filii Israel in generationibus suis.
It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.
43 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron: Haec est religio Phase: Omnis alienigena non comedet ex eo.
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no man who is not an Israelite is to take of it:
44 Omnis autem servus emptitius circumcidetur, et sic comedet.
But every man's servant, whom he has got for money, may take of it, when he has had circumcision.
45 Advena et mercenarius non edent ex eo.
A man from a strange country living among you, and a servant working for payment, may not take part in it.
46 In una domo comedetur, nec efferetis de carnibus eius foras, nec os illius confringetis.
It is to be taken in one house; not a bit of the flesh is to be taken out of the house, and no bone of it may be broken.
47 Omnis coetus filiorum Israel faciet illud.
All Israel is to keep the feast.
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 terrae: si quis autem circumcisus non fuerit, non vescetur ex eo.
And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.
49 Eadem lex erit indigenae et colono qui peregrinatur apud vos.
The law is the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from a strange country who is living with you.
50 Feceruntque omnes filii Israel sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
So the children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses and Aaron.
51 Et eadem die eduxit Dominus filios Israel de terra Aegypti per turmas suas.
And on that very day the Lord took the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
