< Exodus 12 >

1 Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron in Terra Aegypti:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 Mensis iste, vobis principium mensium: primus erit in mensibus anni.
'This month [is] to you the chief of months — it [is] the first to 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 company of Israel, saying, In the tenth of this month — they take to them each man a lamb for the house of the fathers, a lamb for a 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 few for a lamb, then hath he taken, he and his neighbour who is near unto his house, for the number of persons, each according to his eating ye do count for the lamb, )
5 Erit autem agnus absque macula, masculus, anniculus: iuxta quem ritum tolletis et hoedum.
a lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let be to you; from the sheep or from the goats ye do take [it].
6 Et servabitis eum usque ad quartam decimam diem mensis huius: immolabitque eum universa multitudo filiorum Israel ad vesperam.
'And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings;
7 Et sument de sanguine eius, ac ponent super utrumque postem, et in superliminaribus domorum, in quibus comedent illum.
and they have taken of the blood, and have put on the two side-posts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they eat it.
8 Et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni, et azymos panes cum lactucis agrestibus.
'And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it;
9 Non comedetis ex eo crudum quid, nec coctum aqua, sed assum tantum igni: caput cum pedibus eius et intestinis vorabitis.
ye do not eat of it raw, or boiled at all in water, but roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inwards;
10 Nec remanebit quidquam ex eo usque mane. si quid residuum fuerit, igne comburetis.
and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn.
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 ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in haste; it is Jehovah'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.
and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I do judgments; I [am] Jehovah.
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 hath become a sign for you on the houses where ye [are], and I have seen the blood, and have passed over you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My smiting 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 hath become to you a memorial, and ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah to your generations; — a statute age-during; ye keep it a feast.
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 ye eat unleavened things; only — in the first day ye cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for any one eating anything fermented from the first day till the seventh day, even that person hath been 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 in the first day [is] a holy convocation, and in the seventh day ye have a holy convocation; any work is not done in them, only that which is eaten by any person — it alone is 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 ye have observed the unleavened things, for in this self-same day I have brought out your hosts from the land of Egypt, and ye have observed this day to your generations — a statute age-during.
18 Primo mense, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam comedetis azyma usque ad diem vigesimam primam eiusdem mensis ad vesperam.
'In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, ye do eat unleavened things 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 leaven is not found in your houses, for any [one] eating anything fermented — that person hath been cut off from the company of Israel, among the sojourners or among the natives of the land;
20 Omne fermentatum non comedetis: in cunctis habitaculis vestris edetis azyma.
anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'
21 Vocavit autem Moyses omnes seniores filiorum Israel, et dixit ad eos: Ite tollentes animal per familias vestras, et immolate Phase.
And Moses calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith unto them, 'Draw out and take for yourselves [from] the flock, for your families, and slaughter 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 have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped [it] in the blood which [is] in the basin, and have struck [it] on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which [is] in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening of his house till 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 Jehovah hath passed on to smite the Egyptians, and hath seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts, and Jehovah hath passed over the opening, and doth not permit the destruction to come into your houses to smite.
24 Custodi verbum istud legitimum tibi et filiis tuis usque in aeternum.
'And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee, and to thy sons — unto the age;
25 Cumque introieritis terram, quam Dominus daturus est vobis ut pollicitus est, observabitis ceremonias istas.
and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept this service;
26 Et cum dixerint vobis filii vestri: Quae est ista religio?
and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What [is] this service ye have?
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 have said, A sacrifice of passover it [is] to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He delivered.'
28 Et egressi filii Israel fecerunt sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
And the people bow and do obeisance, and the sons of Israel go and do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.
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 cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who [is] in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts.
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 riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is 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 he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and saith, 'Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your word;
32 Oves vestras et armenta assumite ut petieratis, et abeuntes benedicite mihi.
both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'
33 Urgebantque Aegyptii populum de terra exire velociter, dicentes: Omnes moriemur.
And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hasting to send them away out of the land, for they said, 'We are all dead;'
34 Tulit igitur populus conspersam farinam antequam fermentaretur: et ligans in palliis, posuit super humeros suos.
and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs [are] bound up in their garments on their shoulder.
35 Feceruntque filii Israel sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi: et petierunt ab Aegyptiis vasa argentea et aurea, vestemque plurimam.
And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask from 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 Jehovah hath given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil the Egyptians.
37 Profectique sunt filii Israel de Ramesse in Socoth, sexcenta fere millia peditum virorum, absque parvulis et mulieribus.
And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;
38 Sed et vulgus promiscuum innumerabile ascendit cum eis, oves et armenta et animantia diversi generis multa nimis.
and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock and herd — 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 bake with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt unleavened cakes, for it hath not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also provision they have not made for themselves.
40 Habitatio autem filiorum Israel qua manserunt in Aegypto, fuit quadringentorum triginta annorum.
And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have dwelt in Egypt [is] four hundred and thirty years;
41 Quibus expletis, eadem die egressus est omnis exercitus Domini de Terra Aegypti.
and it cometh to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years — yea, it cometh to pass in this self-same day — all the hosts of Jehovah have gone 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 of watchings it [is] to Jehovah, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it [is] this night to Jehovah of watchings to all the sons of Israel to their generations.
43 Dixitque Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron: Haec est religio Phase: Omnis alienigena non comedet ex eo.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, 'This [is] a statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of it;
44 Omnis autem servus emptitius circumcidetur, et sic comedet.
and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou hast circumcised him — then he doth eat of it;
45 Advena et mercenarius non edent ex eo.
a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it;
46 In una domo comedetur, nec efferetis de carnibus eius foras, nec os illius confringetis.
in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the house [any] of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of it;
47 Omnis coetus filiorum Israel faciet illud.
all the company of Israel do 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 when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made a passover to Jehovah, every male of his [is] to be circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth not eat of it;
49 Eadem lex erit indigenae et colono qui peregrinatur apud vos.
one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is sojourning in your midst.'
50 Feceruntque omnes filii Israel sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi et Aaron.
And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have they done.
51 Et eadem die eduxit Dominus filios Israel de terra Aegypti per turmas suas.
And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts.
