Leviticus 23
1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
2 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos hae sunt feriae Domini quas vocabitis sanctas
Speak unto the sons of Israel and thou shalt say unto them, As for the appointed seasons of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations, these, are they—my appointed seasons: —
3 sex diebus facietis opus dies septimus quia sabbati requies est vocabitur sanctus omne opus non facietis in eo sabbatum Domini est in cunctis habitationibus vestris
Six days, shall work be done, but, on the seventh day, shall there be a sabbath of sacred rest a holy convocation, no work, shall ye do, —a sabbath, shall it be unto Yahweh, in all your dwellings.
4 hae sunt ergo feriae Domini sanctae quas celebrare debetis temporibus suis
These, are the appointed seasons of Yahweh, holy convocations, —which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season: —
5 mense primo quartadecima die mensis ad vesperum phase Domini est
In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is a Passover unto Yahweh;
6 et quintadecima die mensis huius sollemnitas azymorum Domini est septem diebus azyma comedetis
and on the fifteenth day of this month, is the festival of unleavened cakes unto Yahweh, —seven days—unleavened cakes, shall ye eat.
7 dies primus erit vobis celeberrimus sanctusque omne opus servile non facietis in eo
On the first day—a holy convocation, shall there be to you: no laborious work, shall ye do.
8 sed offeretis sacrificium in igne Domino septem diebus dies autem septimus erit celebrior et sanctior nullumque servile opus fiet in eo
So then ye shall bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh, seven days, —on the seventh day, [shall there be] a holy convocation, no laborious work, shall ye do.
9 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:
10 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos cum ingressi fueritis terram quam ego dabo vobis et messueritis segetem feretis manipulos spicarum primitias messis vestrae ad sacerdotem
Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them: —When ye enter into the land which, I, am giving you, and ye reap the harvest thereof, then shall ye bring in a sheaf of the first-ripe corn of your harvest, unto the priest;
11 qui elevabit fasciculum coram Domino ut acceptabile sit pro vobis altero die sabbati et sanctificabit illum
and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, that ye may be accepted, —on the morrow of the sabbath, shall the priest wave it.
12 atque in eodem die quo manipulus consecratur caedetur agnus inmaculatus anniculus in holocaustum Domini
And ye shall offer on the day when ye wave the sheaf, a he-lamb without defect, the finest of its year for an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh;
13 et libamenta offerentur cum eo duae decimae similae conspersae oleo in incensum Domini odoremque suavissimum liba quoque vini quarta pars hin
and the, meal-offering thereof shall be two-tenth parts of fine meal overflowed with oil, as an altar-flame unto Yahweh a satisfying odour, —and, the drink-offering thereof, [shall be] mine, the fourth of a hin.
14 panem et pulentam et pultes non comedetis ex segete usque ad diem qua offeratis ex ea Deo vestro praeceptum est sempiternum in generationibus cunctisque habitaculis vestris
And neither bread, nor roasted corn, nor garden-land grain, shall ye eat, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought in the oblation of your God, —an age-abiding statute unto your generations, in all your dwellings.
15 numerabitis ergo ab altero die sabbati in quo obtulistis manipulum primitiarum septem ebdomadas plenas
Then shall ye keep count to yourselves from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day ye brought in the wave sheaf, —seven sabbaths complete, shall there be:
16 usque ad alteram diem expletionis ebdomadae septimae id est quinquaginta dies et sic offeretis sacrificium novum Domino
until on the morrow of the seventh sabbath, ye count fifty days, —then shall ye bring near a new meal-offering unto Yahweh.
17 ex omnibus habitaculis vestris panes primitiarum duos de duabus decimis similae fermentatae quos coquetis in primitias Domini
Out of your dwellings, shall ye bring in two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah, of fine meal, shall they be, with leaven, shall they be baked, —first-fruits unto Yahweh.
18 offeretisque cum panibus septem agnos inmaculatos anniculos et vitulum de armento unum et arietes duos et erunt in holocausto cum libamentis suis in odorem suavissimum Domino
Then shall ye bring near with the bread seven he-lambs without defect of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams, —they shall be an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, an altar-flame of satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
19 facietis et hircum pro peccato duosque agnos anniculos hostias pacificorum
Then shall ye offer one he-goat, as a sin-bearer, —and two he-lambs, of the first year, as a peace-offering.
20 cumque elevaverit eos sacerdos cum panibus primitiarum coram Domino cedent in usum eius
And the priest shall wave them, with the firstfruits’ bread, as a wave-offering before Yahweh, with the two he-lambs, —holy, shall they be unto Yahweh, for the priest.
21 et vocabitis hunc diem celeberrimum atque sanctissimum omne opus servile non facietis in eo legitimum sempiternum erit in cunctis habitaculis et generationibus vestris
And ye shall make proclamation on this self-same day—a holy convocation, shall it be unto you; no laborious work, shall ye do, —an age-abiding statute in all your dwellings, unto your generations.
22 postquam autem messueritis segetem terrae vestrae non secabitis eam usque ad solum nec remanentes spicas colligetis sed pauperibus et peregrinis dimittetis eas ego Dominus Deus vester
And, when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly clear the border of thy field when thou reapest, and, the gleanings of thy field, shalt thou not glean, —for the poor and for the sojourner, shalt thou leave them. I—Yahweh, am your God.
23 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
24 loquere filiis Israhel mense septimo prima die mensis erit vobis sabbatum memorabile clangentibus tubis et vocabitur sanctum
Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying: —In the seventh month on the first of the month, shall there be unto you a sacred rest, a trumpet-blowing commemoration a holy convocation:
25 omne opus servile non facietis in eo et offeretis holocaustum Domino
no laborious work, shall ye do, —but ye shall bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
26 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,
27 decimo die mensis huius septimi dies expiationum erit celeberrimus et vocabitur sanctus adfligetisque animas vestras in eo et offeretis holocaustum Domino
Surely on the tenth of this seventh month, is, the Day of Propitiation, a holy convocation, shall it be to you, therefore shall ye humble your souls, —and bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh.
28 omne opus non facietis in tempore diei huius quia dies propitiationis est ut propitietur vobis Dominus Deus vester
And, no work, shall ye do, on this selfsame day, —for a day of propitiation, it is, to put a propitiatory-covering over you before Yahweh your God.
29 omnis anima quae adflicta non fuerit die hoc peribit de populis suis
For, whosoever be the person that shall not be humbled on this selfsame day, then shall he be cut off from among his kinsfolk.
30 et quae operis quippiam fecerit delebo eam de populo suo
And, whosoever be the person that shall do any work on this selfsame day, then will I destroy that person from the midst of his people.
31 nihil ergo operis facietis in eo legitimum sempiternum erit vobis in cunctis generationibus et habitationibus vestris
No work, shall ye do, —an age-abiding statute to your generations, in all your dwellings.
32 sabbatum requietionis est adfligetis animas vestras die nono mensis a vespero usque ad vesperum celebrabitis sabbata vestra
A sabbath of sacred rest, shall it be unto you, so shall ye humble your souls, —on the ninth of the month in the evening, from evening to evening, shall ye keep your sabbath.
33 et locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:
34 loquere filiis Israhel a quintodecimo die mensis huius septimi erunt feriae tabernaculorum septem diebus Domino
Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying: —On the fifteenth day of this seventh month, shall be the festival of booths, for seven days, unto Yahweh.
35 dies primus vocabitur celeberrimus atque sanctissimus omne opus servile non facietis
On the first day, [shall be] a holy convocation, —no laborious work, shall ye do.
36 et septem diebus offeretis holocausta Domino dies quoque octavus erit celeberrimus atque sanctissimus et offeretis holocaustum Domino est enim coetus atque collectae omne opus servile non facietis in eo
Seven days, shall ye bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh: on the eighth day—a holy convocation, shall there be unto you so shall ye bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh—the closing of the feast, it is, no laborious work, shall ye do.
37 hae sunt feriae Domini quas vocabitis celeberrimas et sanctissimas offeretisque in eis oblationes Domino holocausta et libamenta iuxta ritum uniuscuiusque diei
These, are the appointed seasons of Yahweh, which ye shall proclaim, as holy convocations, —for bringing near as an altar-flame unto Yahweh, an ascending-sacrifice, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice and a drink-offering, each day’s appointment on its own day: —
38 exceptis sabbatis Domini donisque vestris et quae offertis ex voto vel quae sponte tribuitis Domino
besides the sabbaths of Yahweh, and besides your presents, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which ye shall give unto Yahweh.
39 a quintodecimo ergo die mensis septimi quando congregaveritis omnes fructus terrae vestrae celebrabitis ferias Domini septem diebus die primo et die octavo erit sabbatum id est requies
Surely, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the yield of the land, shall ye celebrate the festival of Yahweh seven days, —on the first day, a sacred rest, and, on the eighth day, a sacred rest.
40 sumetisque vobis die primo fructus arboris pulcherrimae spatulasque palmarum et ramos ligni densarum frondium et salices de torrente et laetabimini coram Domino Deo vestro
So then ye shall take you, on the first day, boughs of goodly trees, branches, of palm-trees, and boughs of thick trees, and poplars of the ravine, —and shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, seven days.
41 celebrabitisque sollemnitatem eius septem diebus per annum legitimum sempiternum erit in generationibus vestris mense septimo festa celebrabitis
So shall ye celebrate it as a festival unto Yahweh, seven days in the year, —a statute age-abiding, to your generations. In the seventh month, shall ye celebrate it;
42 et habitabitis in umbraculis septem diebus omnis qui de genere est Israhel manebit in tabernaculis
In booths, shall ye dwell seven days; —All the home-born in Israel, shall dwell in booths:
43 ut discant posteri vestri quod in tabernaculis habitare fecerim filios Israhel cum educerem eos de terra Aegypti ego Dominus Deus vester
To the end that your generations may know, that, in booths, made I the sons of Israel to dwell, when I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, —I—Yahweh, am your God.
44 locutusque est Moses super sollemnitatibus Domini ad filios Israhel
So then Moses declared, the appointed seasons of Yahweh, unto the sons of Israel.
