Liber Numeri 9
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai anno secundo, postquam egressi sunt de Terra Aegypti, mense primo dicens:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,
2 Faciant filii Israel Phase in tempore suo,
'Also, the sons of Israel prepare the passover in its appointed season;
3 quartadecima die mensis huius ad vesperam, iuxta omnes ceremonias et iustificationes eius.
in the fourteenth day of this month between the evenings ye prepare it in its appointed season; according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances ye prepare it.'
4 Praecepitque Moyses filiis Israel ut facerent Phase.
And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel to prepare the passover,
5 Qui fecerunt tempore suo: quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam in monte Sinai. Iuxta omnia quae mandaverat Dominus Moysi, fecerunt filii Israel.
and they prepare the passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done.
6 Ecce autem quidam immundi super anima hominis, qui non poterant facere Phase in die illo, accedentes ad Moysen et Aaron,
And there are men who have been defiled by the body of a man, and they have not been able to prepare the passover on that day, and they come near before Moses, and before Aaron, on that day,
7 dixerunt eis: Immundi sumus super anima hominis. quare fraudamur ut non valeamus oblationem offerre Domino in tempore suo inter filios Israel?
and those men say unto him, 'We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we withheld so as not to bring near the offering of Jehovah in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?'
8 Quibus respondit Moyses: State ut consulam quid praecipiat Dominus de vobis.
And Moses saith unto them, 'Stand ye, and I hear what Jehovah hath commanded concerning you.'
9 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
10 Loquere filiis Israel: Homo qui fuerit immundus super anima, sive in via procul in gente vestra, faciat Phase Domino
'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Though any man is unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your generations), yet he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah;
11 in mense secundo, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam: cum azymis et lactucis agrestibus comedent illud:
in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings they prepare it; with unleavened and bitter things they eat it;
12 non relinquent ex eo quippiam usque mane, et os eius non confringent, omnem ritum Phase observabunt.
they do not leave of till morning; and a bone they do not break in it: according to all the statute of the passover they prepare it.
13 Si quis autem et mundus est, et in itinere non fuit, et tamen non fecit Phase, exterminabitur anima illa de populis suis, quia sacrificium Domino non obtulit tempore suo: peccatum suum ipse portabit.
'And the man who is clean, and hath not been on a journey, and hath ceased to prepare the passover, even that person hath been cut off from his people; because the offering of Jehovah he hath not brought near, in its appointed season, that man doth bear his sin.
14 Peregrinus quoque et advena si fuerint apud vos, facient Phase Domino iuxta ceremonias et iustificationes eius. Praeceptum idem erit apud vos tam advenae quam indigenae.
'And when a sojourner sojourneth with you, then he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah, according to the statute of the passover, and according to its ordinance, so he doth; one statute is to you, even to a sojourner, and to a native of the land.'
15 Igitur die qua erectum est tabernaculum, operuit illud nubes. A vespere autem super tentorium erat quasi species ignis usque mane.
And in the day of the raising up of the tabernacle hath the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony; and in the evening there is on the tabernacle as an appearance of fire till morning;
16 sic fiebat iugiter: per diem operiebat illud nubes, et per noctem quasi species ignis.
so it is continually; the cloud covereth it, also the appearance of fire by night.
17 Cumque ablata fuisset nubes, quae tabernaculum protegebat, tunc proficiscebantur filii Israel: et in loco ubi stetisset nubes, ibi castrametabantur.
And according to the going up of the cloud from off the tent and afterwards do the sons of Israel journey; and in the place where the cloud doth tabernacle, there do the sons of Israel encamp;
18 Ad imperium Domini proficiscebantur, et ad imperium illius figebant tabernaculum. Cunctis diebus quibus stabat nubes super tabernaculum, manebant in eodem loco:
by the command of Jehovah the sons of Israel journey, and by the command of Jehovah they encamp; all the days that the cloud doth tabernacle over the tabernacle they encamp.
19 et si evenisset ut multo tempore maneret super illud, erant filii Israel in excubiis Domini, et non proficiscebantur
And in the cloud prolonging itself over the tabernacle many days, then have the sons of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah, and journey not,
20 quot diebus fuisset nubes super tabernaculum. Ad imperium Domini erigebant tentoria, et ad imperium illius deponebant.
and so when the cloud is a number of days over the tabernacle; by the command of Jehovah they encamp, and by the command of Jehovah they journey.
21 Si fuisset nubes a vespere usque mane, et statim diluculo tabernaculum reliquisset, proficiscebantur: et, si post diem et noctem recessisset, dissipabant tentoria.
And so when the cloud is from evening till morning, when the cloud hath gone up in the morning, then they have journeyed; whether by day or by night, when the cloud hath gone up, then they have journeyed.
22 Si vero biduo aut uno mense vel longiori tempore fuisset super tabernaculum, manebant filii Israel in eodem loco, et non proficiscebantur: statim autem ut recessisset, movebant castra.
Whether two days, or a month, or days, in the cloud prolonging itself over the tabernacle, to tabernacle over it, the sons of Israel encamp, and journey not; and in its being lifted up they journey;
23 Per verbum Domini figebant tentoria, et per verbum illius proficiscebantur: erantque in excubiis Domini iuxta imperium eius per manum Moysi.
by the command of Jehovah they encamp, and by the command of Jehovah they journey; the charge of Jehovah they have kept, by the command of Jehovah in the hand of Moses.
