1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen in deserto Sinai anno secundo postquam egressi sunt de terra Aegypti mense primo dicens
Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
2 faciant filii Israhel phase in tempore suo
"Moreover let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.
3 quartadecima die mensis huius ad vesperam iuxta omnes caerimonias et iustificationes eius
On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you shall keep it in its appointed season—according to all its statutes, and according to all its ordinances, you shall keep it."
4 praecepitque Moses filiis Israhel ut facerent phase
Moses spoke to the children of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.
5 qui fecerunt tempore suo quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam in monte Sinai iuxta omnia quae mandaverat Dominus Mosi fecerunt filii Israhel
They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
6 ecce autem quidam inmundi super animam hominis qui non poterant facere pascha in die illo accedentes ad Mosen et Aaron
There were certain men, who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
7 dixerunt eis inmundi sumus super animam hominis quare fraudamur ut non valeamus offerre oblationem Domino in tempore suo inter filios Israhel
Those men said to him, "We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of Jehovah in its appointed season among the children of Israel?"
8 quibus respondit Moses state ut consulam quid praecipiat Dominus de vobis
Moses answered them, "Wait, that I may hear what Jehovah will command concerning you."
9 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
10 loquere filiis Israhel homo qui fuerit inmundus super anima sive in via procul in gente vestra faciat phase Domino
"Say to the children of Israel, 'If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall still keep the Passover to Jehovah.
11 mense secundo quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam cum azymis et lactucis agrestibus comedent illud
In the second month, on the fourteenth day at evening they shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
12 non relinquent ex eo quippiam usque mane et os eius non confringent omnem ritum phase observabunt
They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
13 si quis autem et mundus est et in itinere non fuit et tamen non fecit phase exterminabitur anima illa de populis suis quia sacrificium Domino non obtulit tempore suo peccatum suum ipse portabit
But the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he did not offer the offering of Jehovah in its appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
14 peregrinus quoque et advena si fuerit apud vos faciet phase Domini iuxta caerimonias et iustificationes eius praeceptum idem erit apud vos tam advenae quam indigenae
If a foreigner lives among you, and desires to keep the Passover to Jehovah; according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance, so shall he do. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner, and for him who is born in the land.'"
15 igitur die qua erectum est tabernaculum operuit illud nubes a vespere autem super tentorium erat quasi species ignis usque mane
On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony: and at evening it was over the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.
16 sic fiebat iugiter per diem operiebat illud nubes et per noctem quasi species ignis
So it was continually. The cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
17 cumque ablata fuisset nubes quae tabernaculum protegebat tunc proficiscebantur filii Israhel et in loco ubi stetisset nubes ibi castrametabantur
Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel camped.
18 ad imperium Domini proficiscebantur et ad imperium illius figebant tabernaculum cunctis diebus quibus stabat nubes super tabernaculum manebant in eodem loco
At the commandment of Jehovah, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Jehovah they camped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained camped.
19 et si evenisset ut multo tempore maneret super illud erant filii Israhel in excubiis Domini et non proficiscebantur
When the cloud stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the command of God, and did not travel.
20 quotquot diebus fuisset nubes super tabernaculum ad imperium Domini erigebant tentoria et ad imperium illius deponebant
Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Jehovah they remained camped, and according to the commandment of Jehovah they traveled.
21 si fuisset nubes a vespere usque mane et statim diluculo tabernaculum reliquisset proficiscebantur et si post diem et noctem recessisset dissipabant tentoria
Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled: or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.
22 si biduo aut uno mense vel longiori tempore fuisset super tabernaculum manebant filii Israhel in eodem loco et non proficiscebantur statim autem ut recessisset movebant castra
Whether it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained camped, and did not travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.
23 per verbum Domini figebant tentoria et per verbum illius proficiscebantur erantque in excubiis Domini iuxta imperium eius per manum Mosi
At the commandment of Jehovah they camped, and at the commandment of Jehovah they traveled. They kept Jehovah's command, at the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
