Liber Numeri 15

1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

2 loquere ad filios Israhel et dices ad eos cum ingressi fueritis terram habitationis vestrae quam ego dabo vobis

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shall say unto them, —When ye shall enter into the land of your dwelling-places, which, I, am giving unto you;

3 et feceritis oblationem Domino in holocaustum aut victimam vota solventes vel sponte offerentes munera aut in sollemnitatibus vestris adolentes odorem suavitatis Domino de bubus sive de ovibus

and ye would offer, as an altar-flame unto Yahweh an ascending-offering or a sacrifice, for celebrating a vow or as a freewill-offering, or in your appointed seasons, —by way of offering a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, from the herd or from the flock,

4 offeret quicumque immolaverit victimam sacrificium similae decimam partem oephi conspersae oleo quod mensuram habebit quartam partem hin

then shall he that bringeth near his oblation bring near unto Yahweh a meal-offering, of fine meal a tenth part [of an ephah] overflowed with the fourth part of a hin of oil;

5 et vinum ad liba fundenda eiusdem mensurae dabit in holocausto sive in victima per agnos singulos

wine also for a drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou offer with the ascending-offering or with the sacrifice, —for each he-lamb.

6 et arietis erit sacrificium similae duarum decimarum quae conspersa sit oleo tertiae partis hin

Or, with a ram, thou shalt offer a meal-offering, of fine meal, two tenths, —overflowed with oil, the third of a hin;

7 et vinum ad libamentum tertiae partis eiusdem mensurae offeret in odorem suavitatis Domino

wine also, for a drink-offering, the third of a hin, shalt thou bring near as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.

8 quando vero de bubus feceris holocaustum aut hostiam ut impleas votum vel pacificas victimas

And when thou wouldest offer a choice young bullock as an ascending-offering or sacrifice, —for celebrating a vow or as a peace-offering unto Yahweh,

9 dabis per singulos boves similae tres decimas conspersae oleo quod habeat medium mensurae hin

then shall he bring near with his choice young bullock, a meal-offering, of fine meal three tenths, —overflowed with half a hin of oil;

10 et vinum ad liba fundenda eiusdem mensurae in oblationem suavissimi odoris Domino

wine also, shalt thou bring near for a drink-offering, half a hin, —for an altar-flame of satisfying odour unto Yahweh.

11 sic facietis

Thus and thus, shall it be done, for each ox, and for each ram, —and for each young one among the sheep, or among the goats:

12 per singulos boves et arietes et agnos et hedos

according to the number which ye shall offer, thus and thus, shall ye do for each one according to their number.

13 tam indigenae quam peregrini

Every one born in the land, thus and thus, shall offer these things, —when bringing near an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.

14 eodem ritu offerent sacrificia

And when there shall sojourn with you a sojourner, or one who is in your midst to your generations, and he would offer an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, as ye offer, so, shall he offer,

15 unum praeceptum erit atque iudicium tam vobis quam advenis terrae

In the convocation, one statute, shall there be for you and for the sojourner who sojourneth, —an age-abiding statute unto your generations, as ye are, so, the sojourner, shall be before Yahweh:

16 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

one law and one regulation, shall there be for yourselves and for the sojourner that sojourneth with you.

17 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

18 cum veneritis in terram quam dabo vobis

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —When ye enter into the land whereinto I, am bringing you,

19 et comederitis de panibus regionis illius separabitis primitias Domino

then shall it be, when ye eat the bread of the land, that ye shall heave up a heave-offering unto Yahweh.

20 de cibis vestris sicut de areis primitias separatis

Of the first of your meal, shall ye heave up, a cake, as a heave-offering, —like the heave-offering of grain, so shall ye heave it.

21 ita et de pulmentis dabitis primitiva Domino

Of the first of your meal, shall ye give unto Yahweh a heave-offering, —unto your generations.

22 quod si per ignorantiam praeterieritis quicquam horum quae locutus est Dominus ad Mosen

And when ye shall make a mistake, and not observe all these commandments, —which Yahweh hath spoken unto Moses;

23 et mandavit per eum ad vos a die qua coepit iubere et ultra

even all that Yahweh hath given unto you in command, by the hand of Moses, —from the day that Yahweh gave command, and onward unto your generations,

24 oblitaque fuerit facere multitudo offeret vitulum de armento holocaustum in odorem suavissimum Domino et sacrificium eius ac liba ut caerimoniae postulant hircumque pro peccato

then shall it be—if, any from the eyes of the assembly, it hath been done by mistake, that all the assembly shall offer one choice young bullock for an ascending-sacrifice as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, with the meal-offering thereof and the drink-offering thereof, according to the regulation, —and one young he-goat as a sin-bearer.

25 et rogabit sacerdos pro omni multitudine filiorum Israhel et dimittetur eis quoniam non sponte peccaverunt nihilominus offerentes incensum Domino pro se et pro peccato atque errore suo

So shall the priest put a propitiatory, covering over all the assembly of the sons of Israel and pardon shall be granted unto them, —because a mistake, it was, they, therefore have brought in their offering—an altar-flame unto Yahweh and their sin-bearer before Yahweh for their mistake:

26 et dimittetur universae plebi filiorum Israhel et advenis qui peregrinantur inter vos quoniam culpa est omnis populi per ignorantiam

and pardon shall be granted unto all the assembly of the sons of Israel and unto the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst, —for, in the case of all the people, it was, by mistake.

27 quod si anima una nesciens peccaverit offeret capram anniculam pro peccato suo

And if, any one person, shall sin by mistake, then shall he bring near a she-goat of the first year as a sin-bearer;

28 et deprecabitur pro ea sacerdos quod inscia peccaverit coram Domino inpetrabitque ei veniam et dimittetur illi

and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over the person who hath made the mistake, when he hath sinned by mistake before Yahweh, even put a propitiatory-covering over him, and pardon shall be granted him.

29 tam indigenis quam advenis una lex erit omnium qui peccaverint ignorantes

For the native born among the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner that sojourneth in their midst, one law, shall there be unto you—for acting by mistake.

30 anima vero quae per superbiam aliquid commiserit sive civis sit ille sive peregrinus quoniam adversum Dominum rebellis fuit peribit de populo suo

But, as for the person who acteth with a high hand—of the native born or of the sojourners, Yahweh himself, he, reproacheth, —therefore shall that person be cut off out of the midst of his people.

31 verbum enim Domini contempsit et praeceptum illius fecit irritum idcirco delebitur et portabit iniquitatem suam

Because the word of Yahweh, hath he despised, and his commandment, hath he broken, that person shall be surely cut off, his iniquity, is in himself.

32 factum est autem cum essent filii Israhel in solitudine et invenissent hominem colligentem ligna in die sabbati

While the sons of Israel were in the desert, they found a man gathering sticks on the sabbath day.

33 obtulerunt eum Mosi et Aaron et universae multitudini

And they who found him gathering sticks, brought him near, unto Moses and unto Aaron and unto all the assembly.

34 qui recluserunt eum in carcerem nescientes quid super eo facere deberent

And they put him in ward, —because it was not clear what they should do unto him.

35 dixitque Dominus ad Mosen morte moriatur homo iste obruat eum lapidibus omnis turba extra castra

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, The man shall be, put to death, —all the assembly, stoning him with stones, outside the camp.

36 cumque eduxissent eum foras obruerunt lapidibus et mortuus est sicut praeceperat Dominus

So then all the assembly, put him forth, outside the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

37 dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen

And Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:

38 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos ut faciant sibi fimbrias per angulos palliorum ponentes in eis vittas hyacinthinas

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, That they shall make them fringes on the corners of their garments unto their generations—and shall put upon the fringe of the corner a cord of blue:

39 quas cum viderint recordentur omnium mandatorum Domini nec sequantur cogitationes suas et oculos per res varias fornicantes

so shall they serve you as fringes, and when ye see then, then shall ye call to mind all the commandments of Yahweh, and shall do them, —and shall not spy out, after your own hearts, and after your own eyes for things, after which, ye, are ready to go unchastely away:

40 sed magis memores praeceptorum Domini faciant ea sintque sancti Deo suo

to the intent ye may call to mind, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.

41 ego Dominus Deus vester qui eduxi vos de terra Aegypti ut essem vester Deus

I—Yahweh, am your God—who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to become your God, —I, —Yahweh, am your God.
