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

Then Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took each man his censer and placed therein fire, and put thereon incense, —and brought near before Yahweh strange fire, which he had not commanded them.

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

Then came there forth fire from before Yahweh, and consumed them, —and they died before Yahweh.

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 said Moses unto Aaron—The very thing, that Yahweh spake, saying—In them that draw near to me, must I be hallowed, And before the faces of all the people, must I get myself honour, —And Aaron, was dumb.

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

Then called Moses unto Mishael, and unto Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, —and said unto them—Draw near bear away your brethren from before the sanctuary, unto the outside of the camp.

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

So they drew near and bare them away, in their tunics, unto the outside of the camp, —as spake Moses.

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 said Moses unto Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons—Your heads, ye may not bare and your garments, ye shall not rend so shall ye not die, neither against all the assembly, will he be wroth, —but let, your brethren the whole house of Israel, bewail the consuming fire wherewith Yahweh hath consumed.

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

But, from the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall ye not go forth, lest ye die, for, the anointing oil of Yahweh is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

8 dixit quoque Dominus ad Aaron

Then spake Yahweh unto Aaron, saying:

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

Wine and strong drink, thou mayest not drink, —thou nor thy sons with thee when ye enter into the tent of meeting, so shall ye not die, —an age-abiding statute to your generations;

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

That ye may make a difference, between the sacred and the common, —and between the unclean and the clean;

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

And may teach the sons of Israel, —all the statutes which Yahweh hath spoken unto them, by the mediation of 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

Then spake Moses unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar his sons that were left, Take ye the meal-offering that is left of the altar-flames of Yahweh, and eat it unleavened beside the altar, —for, most holy, it is;

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

therefore shall ye eat it in a holy place, for, thine by statute, and thy sons’ by statute, it is, from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, —for, so, am I 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 the wave-breast, and the heave-shoulder, shall ye eat in clean place, thou, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, —for as thine by statute and thy sons’ by statute, have they been given, from among 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

The heave-shoulder and the wave-breast upon the altar-flames of the fat portions, shall they bring in, to wave as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, —so shall they be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by an age-abiding statute, As Yahweh hath 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

Now, as for the sin-bearing goat, Moses diligently sought it but lo! it had been burnt up, —then was he wroth against Eleazar and against Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying:

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

Wherefore did ye not eat the sin-bearer in the holy place? for most, holy, it is, —and thee same, hath he given you that ye may bear the iniquity of the assembly, to put a propitiatory-covering over them before Yahweh.

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

Lo! the blood thereof had not been taken into the holy place, within, —ye should have, indeed eaten, it, in a holy place, 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

Then spake Aaron unto Moses—Lo! this very day, when they had brought near their own sin-bearer, and their own ascending-sacrifice, there befell me such things as these, —if, then, I had eaten of the sin-bearer this day, would it have been well-pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh?

20 quod cum audisset Moses recepit satisfactionem

And, when Moses heard that, then was it well-pleasing in his eyes.
