Liber Numeri 10

1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra

'Make to thee two trumpets of silver; beaten work thou dost make them, and they have been to thee for the convocation of the company, and for the journeying of the camps;

3 cumque increpueris tubis congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium foederis tabernaculi

and they have blown with them, and all the company have met together unto thee, unto the opening of the tent of meeting.

4 si semel clangueris venient ad te principes et capita multitudinis Israhel

And if with one they blow, then have the princes, heads of the thousands of Israel, met together unto thee;

5 sin autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam

'And ye have blown — a shout, and the camps which are encamping eastward have journeyed.

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 ye have blown — a second shout, and the camps which are encamping southward have journeyed; a shout they blow for their journeys.

7 quando autem congregandus est populus simplex tubarum clangor erit et non concise ululabunt

'And in the assembling of the assembly ye blow, and do not shout;

8 filii Aaron sacerdotes clangent tubis eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris

and sons of Aaron, the priests, blow with the trumpets; and they have been to you for a statute age-during to 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 into battle in your land against the adversary who is distressing you, then ye have shouted with the trumpets, and ye have been remembered before Jehovah your God, and ye have been 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

'And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed seasons, and in the beginnings of your months, ye have blown also with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and they have been to you for a memorial before your God; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.'

And Moses saith to Hobab son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses, 'We are journeying unto the place of which Jehovah hath said, I give it to you; go with us, and we have done good to thee; for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning Israel.'

30 cui ille respondit non vadam tecum sed revertar in terram meam in qua natus sum

31 et ille noli inquit nos relinquere tu enim nosti in quibus locis per desertum castra ponere debeamus et eris ductor noster

And he saith, 'I pray thee, forsake us not, because thou hast known our encamping in the wilderness, and thou hast been to us for eyes;

32 cumque nobiscum veneris quicquid optimum fuerit ex opibus quas nobis traditurus est Dominus dabimus tibi

and it hath come to pass when thou goest with us, yea, it hath come to pass — that good which Jehovah doth kindly with us — it we have done kindly to thee.'
