Liber Numeri 10
1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra
Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work thou shall make them. And thou shall use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.
3 cumque increpueris tubis congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium foederis tabernaculi
And when they shall blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to thee at the door of the tent of meeting.
4 si semel clangueris venient ad te principes et capita multitudinis Israhel
And if they blow but one, then the rulers, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves to thee.
5 sin autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam
And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.
6 in secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubae levabunt tentoria qui habitant ad meridiem et iuxta hunc modum reliqui facient ululantibus tubis in profectione
And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey. They shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
7 quando autem congregandus est populus simplex tubarum clangor erit et non concise ululabunt
But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
8 filii Aaron sacerdotes clangent tubis eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris
And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets, and they shall be to you for a statute forever throughout your generations.
9 si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos clangetis ululantibus tubis et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum
And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresses you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. And ye shall be remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
10 si quando habebitis epulum et dies festos et kalendas canetis tubis super holocaustis et pacificis victimis ut sint vobis in recordationem Dei vestri ego Dominus Deus vester
Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings. And they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am Jehovah your God.
