Exodus 12
1 dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron in terra Aegypti
Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
2 mensis iste vobis principium mensuum primus erit in mensibus anni
“This month shall be to you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 loquimini ad universum coetum filiorum Israhel et dicite eis decima die mensis huius tollat unusquisque agnum per familias et domos suas
Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month, they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household;
4 sin autem minor est numerus ut sufficere possit ad vescendum agnum adsumet vicinum suum qui iunctus est domui eius iuxta numerum animarum quae sufficere possunt ad esum agni
and if the household is too little for a lamb, then he and his neighbor next to his house shall take one according to the number of the souls. You shall make your count for the lamb according to what everyone can eat.
5 erit autem agnus absque macula masculus anniculus iuxta quem ritum tolletis et hedum
Your lamb shall be without defect, a male a year old. You shall take it from the sheep or from the goats.
6 et servabitis eum usque ad quartamdecimam diem mensis huius immolabitque eum universa multitudo filiorum Israhel ad vesperam
You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at evening.
7 et sument de sanguine ac ponent super utrumque postem et in superliminaribus domorum in quibus comedent illum
They shall take some of the blood, and put it on the two door posts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they shall eat it.
8 et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni et azymos panes cum lactucis agrestibus
They shall eat the meat in that night, roasted with fire, with unleavened bread. They shall eat it with bitter herbs.
9 non comedetis ex eo crudum quid nec coctum aqua sed assum tantum igni caput cum pedibus eius et intestinis vorabitis
Don’t eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted with fire; with its head, its legs and its inner parts.
10 nec remanebit ex eo quicquam usque mane si quid residui fuerit igne conburetis
You shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; but that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.
11 sic autem comedetis illum renes vestros accingetis calciamenta habebitis in pedibus tenentes baculos in manibus et comedetis festinantes est enim phase id est transitus Domini
This is how you shall eat it: with your belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is Yahweh’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 I will go through the land of Egypt in that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and animal. I will execute judgments against all the gods of Egypt. I am Yahweh.
13 erit autem sanguis vobis in signum in aedibus in quibus eritis et videbo sanguinem ac transibo vos nec erit in vobis plaga disperdens quando percussero terram Aegypti
The blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are. When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague will be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
14 habebitis autem hanc diem in monumentum et celebrabitis eam sollemnem Domino in generationibus vestris cultu sempiterno
This day shall be a memorial for you. You shall keep it as a feast to Yahweh. You shall keep it as a feast throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
15 septem diebus azyma comedetis in die primo non erit fermentum in domibus vestris quicumque comederit fermentatum peribit anima illa de Israhel a primo die usque ad diem septimum
“‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; even the first day you shall put away yeast out of your houses, for whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall 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
In the first day there shall be to you a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation; no kind of work shall be done in them, except that which every man must eat, only that may 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
You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance forever.
18 primo mense quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam comedetis azyma usque ad diem vicesimam primam eiusdem mensis ad vesperam
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty first day of the month at evening.
19 septem diebus fermentum non invenietur in domibus vestris qui comederit fermentatum peribit anima eius de coetu Israhel tam de advenis quam de indigenis terrae
There shall be no yeast found in your houses for seven days, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a foreigner, or one who is born in the land.
20 omne fermentatum non comedetis in cunctis habitaculis vestris edetis azyma
You shall eat nothing leavened. In all your habitations you shall eat unleavened bread.’”
21 vocavit autem Moses omnes seniores filiorum Israhel et dixit ad eos ite tollentes animal per familias vestras immolate phase
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, “Draw out, and take lambs according to your families, and kill the Passover.
22 fasciculumque hysopi tinguite sanguine qui est in limine et aspergite ex eo superliminare et utrumque postem nullus vestrum egrediatur ostium domus suae usque mane
You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two door posts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of 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 et non sinet percussorem ingredi domos vestras et laedere
For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
24 custodi verbum istud legitimum tibi et filiis tuis usque in aeternum
You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
25 cumque introieritis terram quam Dominus daturus est vobis ut pollicitus est observabitis caerimonias istas
It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.
26 et cum dixerint vobis filii vestri quae est ista religio
It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’
27 dicetis eis victima transitus Domini est quando transivit super domos filiorum Israhel in Aegypto percutiens Aegyptios et domos nostras liberans incurvatusque populus adoravit
that you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of Yahweh’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.’” The people bowed their heads and worshiped.
28 et egressi filii Israhel fecerunt sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi et Aaron
The children of Israel went and did so; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
29 factum est autem in noctis medio percussit Dominus omne primogenitum in terra Aegypti a primogenito Pharaonis qui sedebat in solio eius usque ad primogenitum captivae quae erat in carcere et omne primogenitum iumentorum
At midnight, Yahweh struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.
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
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 one dead.
31 vocatisque Mosen et Aaron nocte ait surgite egredimini a populo meo et vos et filii Israhel ite immolate Domino sicut dicitis
He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said!
32 oves vestras et armenta adsumite ut petieratis et abeuntes benedicite mihi
Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!”
33 urguebantque Aegyptii populum de terra exire velociter dicentes omnes moriemur
The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We are all dead men.”
34 tulit igitur populus conspersam farinam antequam fermentaretur et ligans in palliis posuit super umeros suos
The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35 feceruntque filii Israhel sicut praeceperat Moses et petierunt ab Aegyptiis vasa argentea et aurea vestemque plurimam
The children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.
36 dedit autem Dominus gratiam populo coram Aegyptiis ut commodarent eis et spoliaverunt Aegyptios
Yahweh gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians.
37 profectique sunt filii Israhel de Ramesse in Soccoth sescenta ferme milia peditum virorum absque parvulis
The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.
38 sed et vulgus promiscuum innumerabile ascendit cum eis oves et armenta et animantia diversi generis multa nimis
A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.
39 coxeruntque farinam quam dudum conspersam de Aegypto tulerant et fecerunt subcinericios panes azymos neque enim poterant fermentari cogentibus exire Aegyptiis et nullam facere sinentibus moram nec pulmenti quicquam occurrerant praeparare
They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it wasn’t leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn’t wait, and they had not prepared any food for themselves.
40 habitatio autem filiorum Israhel qua manserant in Aegypto fuit quadringentorum triginta annorum
Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.
41 quibus expletis eadem die egressus est omnis exercitus Domini de terra Aegypti
At the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, all of Yahweh’s armies went out from the land of Egypt.
42 nox est ista observabilis Domini quando eduxit eos de terra Aegypti hanc observare debent omnes filii Israhel in generationibus suis
It is a night to be much observed to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of Yahweh, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
43 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron haec est religio phase omnis alienigena non comedet ex eo
Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,
44 omnis autem servus empticius circumcidetur et sic comedet
but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45 advena et mercennarius non edent ex eo
A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
46 in una domo comedetur nec efferetis de carnibus eius foras nec os illius confringetis
It must be eaten in one house. You shall not carry any of the meat outside of the house. Do not break any of its bones.
47 omnis coetus filiorum Israhel faciet illud
All the congregation 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
When a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, and would like to keep the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. He shall be as one who is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.
49 eadem lex erit indigenae et colono qui peregrinatur apud vos
One law shall be to him who is born at home, and to the stranger who lives as a foreigner among you.”
50 fecerunt omnes filii Israhel sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi et Aaron
All the children of Israel did so. As Yahweh commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
51 et in eadem die eduxit Dominus filios Israhel de terra Aegypti per turmas suas
That same day, Yahweh brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
