Leviticus 10

1 arreptisque Nadab et Abiu filii Aaron turibulis posuerunt ignem et incensum desuper offerentes coram Domino ignem alienum quod eis praeceptum non erat

Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense, and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to His command.

2 egressusque ignis a Domino devoravit eos et mortui sunt coram Domino

So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the LORD.

3 dixitque Moses ad Aaron hoc est quod locutus est Dominus sanctificabor in his qui adpropinquant mihi et in conspectu omnis populi glorificabor quod audiens tacuit Aaron

Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD meant when He said: ‘To those who come near Me I will show My holiness, and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory.’” But Aaron remained silent.

4 vocatis autem Moses Misahel et Elsaphan filios Ozihel patrui Aaron ait ad eos ite et colligite fratres vestros de conspectu sanctuarii et asportate extra castra

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”

5 confestimque pergentes tulerunt eos sicut iacebant vestitos lineis tunicis et eiecerunt foras ut sibi fuerat imperatum

So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses had directed.

6 locutus est Moses ad Aaron et ad Eleazar atque Ithamar filios eius capita vestra nolite nudare et vestimenta nolite scindere ne forte moriamini et super omnem coetum oriatur indignatio fratres vestri et omnis domus Israhel plangant incendium quod Dominus suscitavit

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair become disheveled and do not tear your garments, or else you will die, and the LORD will be angry with the whole congregation. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may mourn on account of the fire that the LORD has ignited.

7 vos autem non egredimini fores tabernaculi alioquin peribitis oleum quippe sanctae unctionis est super vos qui fecerunt omnia iuxta praeceptum Mosi

You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, for the LORD’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did as Moses instructed.

8 dixit quoque Dominus ad Aaron

Then the LORD said to Aaron,

9 vinum et omne quod inebriare potest non bibetis tu et filii tui quando intratis tabernaculum testimonii ne moriamini quia praeceptum est sempiternum in generationes vestras

“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter the Tent of Meeting, or else you will die; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come.

10 et ut habeatis scientiam discernendi inter sanctum et profanum inter pollutum et mundum

You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean,

11 doceatisque filios Israhel omnia legitima mea quae locutus est Dominus ad eos per manum Mosi

so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”

12 locutusque est Moses ad Aaron et ad Eleazar atque Ithamar filios eius qui residui erant tollite sacrificium quod remansit de oblatione Domini et comedite illud absque fermento iuxta altare quia sanctum sanctorum est

And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the offerings made by fire to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy.

13 comedetis autem in loco sancto quod datum est tibi et filiis tuis de oblationibus Domini sicut praeceptum est mihi

You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the offerings made by fire to the LORD; for this is what I have been commanded.

14 pectusculum quoque quod oblatum est et armum qui separatus est edetis in loco mundissimo tu et filii tui ac filiae tuae tecum tibi enim ac liberis tuis reposita sunt de hostiis salutaribus filiorum Israhel

And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.

15 eo quod armum et pectus et adipes qui cremantur in altari elevaverint coram Domino et pertineant ad te et ad filios tuos lege perpetua sicut praecepit Dominus

They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire, to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD has commanded.”

16 inter haec hircum qui oblatus fuerat pro peccato cum quaereret Moses exustum repperit iratusque contra Eleazar et Ithamar filios Aaron qui remanserant ait

Later, Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,

17 cur non comedistis hostiam pro peccato in loco sancto quae sancta sanctorum est et data vobis ut portetis iniquitatem multitudinis et rogetis pro ea in conspectu Domini

“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD.

18 praesertim cum de sanguine illius non sit inlatum intra sancta et comedere eam debueritis in sanctuario sicut praeceptum est mihi

Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”

19 respondit Aaron oblata est hodie victima pro peccato et holocaustum coram Domino mihi autem accidit quod vides quomodo potui comedere eam aut placere Domino in caerimoniis mente lugubri

But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”

20 quod cum audisset Moses recepit satisfactionem

And when Moses heard this explanation, he was satisfied.
