Exodus 12
1 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron in Terra Aegypti:
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Mensis iste, vobis principium mensium: primus erit in mensibus anni.
This month [shall be] to you the beginning of months: it is the first to you among the months 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.
Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month let them take each man a lamb according to the houses of their families, every man a lamb for his household.
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 they be few in a household, so that there are not enough for the lamb, he shall take with himself his neighbor that lives near to him, —as to the number of souls, every one according to that which suffices him shall make a reckoning for the lamb.
5 Erit autem agnus absque macula, masculus, anniculus: iuxta quem ritum tolletis et hoedum.
It shall be to you a lamb unblemished, a male of a year old: you shall take it of the lambs and the kids.
6 Et servabitis eum usque ad quartam decimam diem mensis huius: immolabitque eum universa multitudo filiorum Israel ad vesperam.
And it shall be kept by you till the fourteenth of this month, and all the multitude of the congregation of the children of Israel shall kill it toward evening.
7 Et sument de sanguine eius, ac ponent super utrumque postem, et in superliminaribus domorum, in quibus comedent illum.
And they shall take of the blood, and shall put it on the two door-posts, and on the lintel, in the houses in which soever they shall eat them.
8 Et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni, et azymos panes cum lactucis agrestibus.
And they shall eat the flesh in this night roast with fire, and they shall eat unleavened [bread] with bitter herbs.
9 Non comedetis ex eo crudum quid, nec coctum aqua, sed assum tantum igni: caput cum pedibus eius et intestinis vorabitis.
You shall not eat of it raw nor sodden in water, but only roast with fire, the head with the feet and the appurtenances.
10 Nec remanebit quidquam ex eo usque mane. si quid residuum fuerit, igne comburetis.
Nothing shall be left of it till the morning, and a bone of it you shall not break; but that which is left of it till the morning you shall burn 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 thus shall you eat it: your loins girded, and your sandals on your feet, and your staves in your hands, and you shall eat it in haste. It is a passover to the Lord.
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.
and I will go throughout the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast, and on all the gods of Egypt will I execute vengeance: 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 shall be for a sign to you on the houses in which you are, and I will see the blood, and will protect you, and there shall not be on you the plague of destruction, when I strike in the land of Egypt.
14 Habebitis autem hunc diem in monumentum: et celebrabitis eam sollemnem Domino in generationibus vestris cultu sempiterno.
And this day shall be to you a memorial, and you shall keep it a feast to the Lord through all your generations; you shall keep it a feast for a perpetual ordinance.
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.
Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and from the first day you shall utterly remove leaven from your houses: whoever shall eat leaven, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.
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 the first day shall be called holy, and the seventh day shall be a holy convocation to you: you shall do no servile work on them, only as many things as will [necessarily] be done by every soul, this only shall be done by you.
17 Et observabitis azyma: in eadem enim ipsa die educam exercitum vestrum de Terra Aegypti, et custodietis diem istum in generationes vestras ritu perpetuo.
And you shall keep this commandment, for on this day will I bring out your force out of the land of Egypt; and you shall make this day a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.
18 Primo mense, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam comedetis azyma usque ad diem vigesimam primam eiusdem mensis ad vesperam.
Beginning the fourteenth day of the first month, you shall eat unleavened bread from evening, till the twenty-first day of the month, till evening.
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.
Seven days leaven shall not be found in your houses; whoever shall eat anything leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, both among the occupiers of the land and the original inhabitants.
20 Omne fermentatum non comedetis: in cunctis habitaculis vestris edetis azyma.
You shall eat nothing leavened, but in every habitation of your you shall eat unleavened bread.
21 Vocavit autem Moyses omnes seniores filiorum Israel, et dixit ad eos: Ite tollentes animal per familias vestras, et immolate Phase.
And Moses called all the elders of the children of Israel, and said to them, Go away and take to yourselves a lamb according to your kindred, and kill the passover.
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 you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and having dipped it into some of the blood that is by the door, you shall touch the lintel, and [shall put it] upon both door-posts, even of the blood which is by the door; but you shall not go out every one from the door 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.
And the Lord shall pass by to strike the Egyptians, and shall see the blood upon the lintel, and upon both the door-posts; and the Lord shall pass by the door, and shall not suffer the destroyer to enter into your houses to strike [you].
24 Custodi verbum istud legitimum tibi et filiis tuis usque in aeternum.
And keep you this thing as an ordinance for yourself and for your children for ever.
25 Cumque introieritis terram, quam Dominus daturus est vobis ut pollicitus est, observabitis ceremonias istas.
And if you should enter into the land, which the Lord shall give you, as he has spoken, keep this service.
26 Et cum dixerint vobis filii vestri: Quae est ista religio?
And it shall come to pass, if your sons say to you, What is this service?
27 dicetis eis: Victima transitus Domini est, quando transivit super domos filiorum Israel in Aegypto percutiens Aegyptios, et domos nostras liberans. Incurvatusque populus adoravit.
that you shall say to them, This passover is a sacrifice to the Lord, as he defended the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, but delivered our houses.
28 Et egressi filii Israel fecerunt sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
And the people bowed and worshipped. And the children of Israel departed and did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
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 it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharao that sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the captive-maid in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all 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.
And Pharao rose up by night, and his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in all the land of Egypt, for there was not a house in which there was not one 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 Pharao called Moses and Aaron by night, and said to them, Rise and depart from my people, both you and the children of Israel. Go and serve the Lord your God, even as you say.
32 Oves vestras et armenta assumite ut petieratis, et abeuntes benedicite mihi.
And take with you your sheep, and your oxen: bless me also, I pray you.
33 Urgebantque Aegyptii populum de terra exire velociter, dicentes: Omnes moriemur.
And the Egyptians constrained the people, so that they cast them out of the land with haste, for they said, We all shall die.
34 Tulit igitur populus conspersam farinam antequam fermentaretur: et ligans in palliis, posuit super humeros suos.
And the people took their dough before their meal was leavened, bound up [as it was] in their garments, on their shoulders.
35 Feceruntque filii Israel sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi: et petierunt ab Aegyptiis vasa argentea et aurea, vestemque plurimam.
And the children of Israel did as Moses commanded them, and they asked of the Egyptians articles of silver and gold and apparel.
36 Dominus autem dedit gratiam populo coram Aegyptiis ut commodarent eis: et spoliaverunt Aegyptios.
And the Lord gave his people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they lent to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 Profectique sunt filii Israel de Ramesse in Socoth, sexcenta fere millia peditum virorum, absque parvulis et mulieribus.
And the children Israel departed from Ramesses to Socchoth, to [the full number of] six hundred thousand footmen, even men, besides the baggage.
38 Sed et vulgus promiscuum innumerabile ascendit cum eis, oves et armenta et animantia diversi generis multa nimis.
And a great mixed [company] went up with them, and sheep and oxen and very much cattle.
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 baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt, unleavened cakes, for it had not been leavened; for the Egyptians cast them out, and they could not remain, neither did they prepare provision for themselves for the journey.
40 Habitatio autem filiorum Israel qua manserunt in Aegypto, fuit quadringentorum triginta annorum.
And the sojourning of the children of Israel, while they sojourned in the land of Egypt and the land of Chanaan, [was] four hundred and thirty years.
41 Quibus expletis, eadem die egressus est omnis exercitus Domini de Terra Aegypti.
And it came to pass after the four hundred and thirty years, all the forces of the Lord came forth out of the land of Egypt by night.
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 kept to the Lord, so that he should bring them out of the land of Egypt; that very night is a watch kept to the Lord, so that it should be to all the children of Israel to 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 stranger shall eat of it.
44 Omnis autem servus emptitius circumcidetur, et sic comedet.
And every slave or servant bought with money—him you shall circumcise, and then shall he eat of it.
45 Advena et mercenarius non edent ex eo.
A sojourner or hireling shall not eat of it.
46 In una domo comedetur, nec efferetis de carnibus eius foras, nec os illius confringetis.
In one house shall it be eaten, and you shall not carry of the flesh out from the house; and a bone of it you shall not break.
47 Omnis coetus filiorum Israel faciet illud.
All the congregation of the children of Israel shall keep it.
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 any proselyte shall come to you to keep the passover to the Lord, you shall circumcise every male of him, and then shall he approach to sacrifice it, and he shall be even as the original inhabitant of the land; no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 Eadem lex erit indigenae et colono qui peregrinatur apud vos.
There shall be one law to the native, and to the proselyte coming among you.
50 Feceruntque omnes filii Israel sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron for them, so they did.
51 Et eadem die eduxit Dominus filios Israel de terra Aegypti per turmas suas.
And it came to pass in that day that the Lord brought out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt with their forces.
