Exodus 12
1 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron in Terra Aegypti:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Mensis iste, vobis principium mensium: primus erit in mensibus anni.
This month shall be unto you the chief of months: the first shall it be unto you of 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 ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth day of this month they shall take to themselves every man a lamb for every family, a lamb for every house:
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 household be too small for a lamb, then shall he take it with his neighbor who is next unto his house, according to the number of the souls; every man according to what he eateth shall ye make a count for the lamb.
5 Erit autem agnus absque macula, masculus, anniculus: iuxta quem ritum tolletis et hoedum.
A lamb without blemish, a male of the first year shall ye have; from the sheep, or from the goats may ye take it.
6 Et servabitis eum usque ad quartam decimam diem mensis huius: immolabitque eum universa multitudo filiorum Israel ad vesperam.
And ye shall have it in keeping until the fourteenth day of the same month; and then the whole assembly of the congregation 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 put it on the two side-posts and on the upper door-post, in the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
8 Et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni, et azymos panes cum lactucis agrestibus.
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roasted by the fire, with unleavened bread; together with bitter herbs shall they eat it.
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 in any wise sodden with water; but roasted by the fire; its head with its legs, and with its entrails.
10 Nec remanebit quidquam ex eo usque mane. si quid residuum fuerit, igne comburetis.
And ye shall not let any thing of it remain until morning; and that which remaineth of it until morning ye 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 ye eat it, With your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste, it is passover unto 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 pass through the land of Egypt in this night, and I will smite every first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt will I execute judgments: 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 to you for a token upon the houses where ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and there shall be no plague against you to destroy, when I smite [others] 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 unto you for a memorial; and ye shall celebrate it as a feast unto the Lord; throughout your generations, as an ordinance for ever shall ye celebrate it.
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 shall ye eat unleavened bread; but on the first day ye shall have put away leaven out of your houses; for whosoever eateth leavened bread, that soul shall be cut off 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 on the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done on them, save what is eaten by every man, that only may be prepared 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 ye shall observe the unleavened bread; for on this selfsame day have I brought forth your armies out of the land of Egypt; therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations as an ordinance 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, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, shall ye eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at 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 no leaven shall be found in your houses; for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or one born in the land.
20 Omne fermentatum non comedetis: in cunctis habitaculis vestris edetis azyma.
Nothing that is leavened shall ye eat; in all your habitations shall ye 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 for the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and kill the passover sacrifice.
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 ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out frown the door of his house until 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 will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite.
24 Custodi verbum istud legitimum tibi et filiis tuis usque in aeternum.
And ye shall observe this thing, as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.
25 Cumque introieritis terram, quam Dominus daturus est vobis ut pollicitus est, observabitis ceremonias istas.
And it shall come to pass, when ye be come into the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26 Et cum dixerint vobis filii vestri: Quae est ista religio?
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by 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 ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the passover unto the Lord, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and our houses he spared; and the people bent the head and bowed themselves.
28 Et egressi filii Israel fecerunt sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had 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 smote every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh that was to sit on his throne unto the first-born of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the first-born of 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 Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not some 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 he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Eternal, as ye have spoken.
32 Oves vestras et armenta assumite ut petieratis, et abeuntes benedicite mihi.
Also your flocks and your herds take, as ye have spoken, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 Urgebantque Aegyptii populum de terra exire velociter, dicentes: Omnes moriemur.
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to make haste to send them away out of the land; for they said, We are all dying.
34 Tulit igitur populus conspersam farinam antequam fermentaretur: et ligans in palliis, posuit super humeros suos.
And the people took up their dough before it was yet leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes upon 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 had done according to the word of Moses; and they had asked of the Egyptians vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments.
36 Dominus autem dedit gratiam populo coram Aegyptiis ut commodarent eis: et spoliaverunt Aegyptios.
And the Lord had given the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they gave unto them what they required; and they emptied out Egypt.
37 Profectique sunt filii Israel de Ramesse in Socoth, sexcenta fere millia peditum virorum, absque parvulis et mulieribus.
And the children of Israel journeyed from Ra'meses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.
38 Sed et vulgus promiscuum innumerabile ascendit cum eis, oves et armenta et animantia diversi generis multa nimis.
And a mixed multitude also went up with them; and flocks, and herds, a very large amount of 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 of the dough, which they had brought forth out of Egypt, unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
40 Habitatio autem filiorum Israel qua manserunt in Aegypto, fuit quadringentorum triginta annorum.
Now the time of the residence of the children of Israel, which they dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41 Quibus expletis, eadem die egressus est omnis exercitus Domini de Terra Aegypti.
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, and it happened even on the selfsame day, that all the armies of the Lord went out from 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.
A night to be observed was this unto the Lord to bring them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night holy to the Lord, to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron: Haec est religio Phase: Omnis alienigena non comedet ex eo.
And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat thereof.
44 Omnis autem servus emptitius circumcidetur, et sic comedet.
But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45 Advena et mercenarius non edent ex eo.
A resident foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46 In una domo comedetur, nec efferetis de carnibus eius foras, nec os illius confringetis.
In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; and no bone shall ye break in it.
47 Omnis coetus filiorum Israel faciet illud.
All the congregation of Israel shall prepare 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 when a stranger sojourneth with thee, and will prepare the passover to the Lord, let his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and prepare it, and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49 Eadem lex erit indigenae et colono qui peregrinatur apud vos.
One law shall be to him that is home-born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
50 Feceruntque omnes filii Israel sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
And all the children of Israel did so; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51 Et eadem die eduxit Dominus filios Israel de terra Aegypti per turmas suas.
And it came to pass on the selfsame day, that the Lord did bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
