Liber Numeri

Dixitque Dominus ad Aaron: Tu, et filii tui, et domus patris tui tecum, portabitis iniquitatem sanctuarii: et tu et filii tui simul sustinebitis peccata sacerdotii vestri.

And the Lord said to Aaron: Thou, and thy sons, and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the sins of your priesthood.

Et dic Domino ad Aarone: te, et filios tuo, et domo de patre tuo tecum, porta iniquitate de sanctuario: et te et de filio tuo simul sustine peccatos de sacerdotio vestro.

Sed et fratres tuos de tribu Levi, et sceptrum patris tui sume tecum, præstoque sint, et ministrent tibi: tu autem et filii tui ministrabitis in tabernaculo testimonii.

And take with thee thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, and the sceptre of thy father, and let them be ready in hand, and minister to thee: but thou and thy sons shall minister in the tabernacle of the testimony.

Sed et fratres tuo de tribu Levi, et sceptro de patre tuo sume tecum, et praesta es, et ministra ad te: te autem et filios tuo ministra in tabernaculo de testimonio.

Excubabuntque Levitæ ad præcepta tua, et ad cuncta opera tabernaculi: ita dumtaxat ut ad vasa sanctuarii et ad altare non accedant, ne et illi moriantur, et vos pereatis simul.

And the Levites shall watch to do thy commands, and about all the works of the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary nor the altar, lest both they die, and you also perish with them.

Et Levitas excuba ad praeceptos tuo, et ad cuncta operes de tabernaculo: ita dumtaxat ut ad vases de sanctuario et ad altari non accede, ne et illo more, et vos peri simul.

Sint autem tecum, et excubent in custodiis tabernaculi, et in omnibus cæremoniis ejus. Alienigena non miscebitur vobis.

But let them be with thee, and watch in the charge of the tabernacle, and in all the ceremonies thereof. A stranger shall not join himself with you.

Es autem tecum, et excuba in custodios de tabernaculo, et in omni caeremonios de illo. Alienigena non misce ad vos.

Excubate in custodia sanctuarii, et in ministerio altaris: ne oriatur indignatio super filios Israël.

Watch ye in the charge of the sanctuary, and in the ministry of the altar: lest indignation rise upon the children of Israel.

Excubate in custodia de sanctuario, et in ministerio de altari: ne indignatione ori super filios Israële.

Ego dedi vobis fratres vestros Levitas de medio filiorum Israël, et tradidi donum Domino, ut serviant in ministeriis tabernaculi ejus.

I have given you your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel, and have delivered them for a gift to the Lord, to serve in the ministries of the tabernacle.

Me da ad vos fratres vestro Levites de medio de filios Israële, et trade dono ad Domino, ut servi in ministerios de tabernaculo de illo.

Tu autem et filii tui custodite sacerdotium vestrum: et omnia quæ ad cultum altaris pertinent, et intra velum sunt, per sacerdotes administrabuntur: si quis externus accesserit, occidetur.

But thou and thy sons look ye to the priesthood: and all things that pertain to the service of the altar, and that are within the veil, shall be executed by the priests. If any stranger shall approach, he shall be slain.

Te autem et filios tuo custodi sacerdotio vestro: et omni que ad cultu de altari pertine, et intra velo es, per sacerdotes administra: si qui externo accede, occide.

Locutusque est Dominus ad Aaron: Ecce dedi tibi custodiam primitiarum mearum. Omnia quæ sanctificantur a filiis Israël, tradidi tibi et filiis tuis pro officio sacerdotali legitima sempiterna.

And the Lord said to Aaron: Behold I have given thee the charge of my firstfruits. All things that are sanctified by the children of Israel, I have delivered to thee and to thy sons for the priestly office, by everlasting ordinances.

Et locuto es Domino ad Aarone: ecce da ad te custodia de primitias meo. Omni que sanctifica ab filios Israële, trade ad te et ad filios tuo pro officio sacerdotali legitima sempiterno.

Hæc ergo accipies de his, quæ sanctificantur et oblata sunt Domino. Omnis oblatio, et sacrificium, et quidquid pro peccato atque delicto redditur mihi, et cedit in Sancta sanctorum, tuum erit, et filiorum tuorum.

These therefore shalt thou take of the things that are sanctified, and are offered to the Lord. Every offering, and sacrifice, and whatsoever is rendered to me for sin and for trespass, and becometh holy of holies, shall be for thee and thy sons.

Hoc ergo accipe de hoc, que sanctifica et offer es ad Domino. Omni oblatione, et sacrificio, et omni pro peccato et delicto redde ad me, et cede in Sancto sancto, tuo es, et de filios tuo.

In sanctuario comedes illud: mares tantum edent ex eo, quia consecratum est tibi.

Thou shalt eat it in the sanctuary: the males only shall eat thereof, because it is a consecrated thing to thee.

In sanctuario comede illo: maris tanto ede ex eo, quia consecra es ad te.

Primitias autem, quas voverint et obtulerint filii Israël, tibi dedi, et filiis tuis, ac filiabus tuis, jure perpetuo: qui mundus est in domo tua, vescetur eis.

But the firstfruits, which the children of Israel shall vow and offer, I have given to thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters, by a perpetual law. He that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.

Primitias autem, que vove et filios Israële offer, ad te da, et filios tuo, et ad filias tuo, iure perpetua: qui mundo es in domo tuo, vesce ad illos.

Omnem medullam olei, et vini, ac frumenti, quidquid offerunt primitiarum Domino, tibi dedi.

All the best of the oil, and of the wine, and of the corn, whatsoever firstfruits they offer to the Lord, I have given them to thee.

Omni medulla de oleo, et de vino, et de frumento, omni offer de primitias ad Domino, ad te da.

Universa frugum initia, quas gignit humus, et Domino deportantur, cedent in usus tuos: qui mundus est in domo tua, vescetur eis.

All the firstripe of the fruits, that the ground bringeth forth, and which are brought to the Lord, shall be for thy use: he that is clean in thy house, shall eat them.

Tniverso de fruges initios, humo gene que, et Domino deporta, cede in usus tuo: qui mundo es in domo tuo, vesce ad illos.

Omne quod ex voto reddiderint filii Israël, tuum erit.

Every thing that the children of Israel shall give by vow, shall be thine.

Omni quod ex voto redde filios Israële, tuo es.

Quidquid primum erumpit e vulva cunctæ carnis, quam offerunt Domino, sive ex hominibus, sive de pecoribus fuerit, tui juris erit: ita dumtaxat ut pro hominis primogenito pretium accipias, et omne animal quod immundum est redimi facias,

Whatsoever is firstborn of all flesh, which they offer to the Lord, whether it be of men, or of beasts, shall belong to thee: only for the firstborn of man thou shalt take a price, and every beast that is unclean thou shalt cause to be redeemed,

Omni primo erumpe ex vulva cuncta de carne, quam offer ad Domino, sive ex homines, sive de pecores es, tuo de iure es: ita dumtaxat ut pro homine primogenito pretio accipe, et omni animale quod immundo es rede fac,

cujus redemptio erit post unum mensem, siclis argenti quinque, pondere sanctuarii. Siclus viginti obolos habet.

And the redemption of it shall be after one month, for five sicles of silver, by the weight of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

De que redemptione es post uno mense, sicle de argento quinque, pondere de sanctuario. Siclo viginti obolos habe.

Primogenitum autem bovis, et ovis, et capræ, non facies redimi, quia sanctificata sunt Domino. Sanguinem tantum eorum fundes super altare, et adipes adolebis in suavissimum odorem Domino.

But the firstling of a cow, and of a sheep and of a goat thou shalt not cause to be redeemed, because they are sanctified to the Lord. Their blood only thou shalt pour upon the altar, and their fat thou shalt burn for a most sweet odour to the Lord.

Primogenito autem de bove, et de ove, et de capra, non fac rede, quia sanctifica es ad Domino. Sanguine tanto de illos funde super altari, et adipes adole in suavi odore ad Domino.

Carnes vero in usum tuum cedent, sicut pectusculum consecratum, et armus dexter: tua erunt.

But the flesh shall fall to thy use, as the consecrated breast, and the right shoulder shall be thine.

Carnes vero in usu tuo cede, sicut pectusculo consecra, et armo dextro: tuo es.

Omnes primitias sanctuarii, quas offerunt filii Israël Domino, tibi dedi, et filiis, ac filiabus tuis, jure perpetuo. Pactum salis est sempiternum coram Domino, tibi ac filiis tuis.

All the firstfruits of the sanctuary which the children of Israel offer to the Lord, I have given to thee and to thy sons and daughters, by a perpetual ordinance. It is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord, to thee and to thy sons.

Omni primitias de sanctuario, filios Israële offer que ad Domino, ad te da, et filios, et ad filias tuo, iure perpetua. Paciscor de sale es sempiterno coram Domino, ad te et ad filios tuo.

Dixitque Dominus ad Aaron: In terra eorum nihil possidebitis, nec habebitis partem inter eos: ego pars et hæreditas tua in medio filiorum Israël.

And the Lord said to Aaron: You shall possess nothing in their land, neither shall you have a portion among them: I am thy portion and inheritance in the midst of the children of Israel.

Et Domino dic ad Aarone: in terra de illos nihil posside, nec habe parte inter illos: me parte et haereditate tuo in medio de filios Israële.

Filiis autem Levi dedi omnes decimas Israëlis in possessionem, pro ministerio, quo serviunt mihi in tabernaculo fœderis:

And I have given to the sons of Levi all the tithes of Israel for a possession, for the ministry wherewith they serve me in the tabernacle of the covenant:

Ad filios autem Levi da omni decimo de Israëlo in possessione, pro ministerio, quo servi ad me in tabernaculo de foedro:

ut non accedant ultra filii Israël ad tabernaculum, nec committant peccatum mortiferum,

That the children of Israel may not approach any more to the tabernacle, nor commit deadly sin,

Ut non accede ultra filios Israële ad tabernaculo, nec committe peccato mortifero,

solis filiis Levi mihi in tabernaculo servientibus, et portantibus peccata populi. Legitimum sempiternum erit in generationibus vestris. Nihil aliud possidebunt,

But only the sons of Levi may serve me in the tabernacle, and bear the sins of the people. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. They shall not possess any other thing,

De sole ad filios Levi ad me in tabernaculo servi, et porta peccatos de populo. Legitima sempiterno es in generationes vestro. Nihil alio posside,

decimarum oblatione contenti, quas in usus eorum et necessaria separavi.

But be content with the oblation or tithes, which I have separated for their uses and necessities.

De decimo oblatione contenta, que in usus de illos et necessaria separa.

Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Et locuto es Domino ad Moyse, dicente:

Præcipe Levitis, atque denuntia: Cum acceperitis a filiis Israël decimas, quas dedi vobis, primitias earum offerte Domino, id est, decimam partem decimæ,

Command the Levites, and declare unto them: When you shall receive of the children of Israel the tithes, which I have given you, offer the firstfruits of them to the Lord, that is to say, the tenth part of the tenth:

Praecipie ad Levitis, et ad denuntia: cum accipe ab filios Israële decimo, que da ad vos, primitias de illas offer ad Domino, id es, decimo parte de decimo,

ut reputetur vobis in oblationem primitivorum, tam de areis quam de torcularibus:

That it may be reckoned to you as an oblation of firstfruits, as well of the barnfloors as of the winepresses:

Ut reputa ad vos in oblatione de primitivos, tam de areas quam de torculari:

et universis quorum accipitis primitias, offerte Domino, et date Aaron sacerdoti.

And of all the things of which you receive tithes, offer the firstfruits to the Lord, and give them to Aaron the priest.

Et ad universa de que accipe primitias, offer ad Domino, et da Aarone ad sacerdote.

Omnia quæ offeretis ex decimis, et in donaria Domini separabitis, optima et electa erunt.

All the things that you shall offer of the tithes, and shall separate for the gifts of the Lord, shall be the best and choicest things.

Omni que offer ex decimes, et in donarios de Domino separa, bono et elige es.

Dicesque ad eos: Si præclara et meliora quæque obtuleritis ex decimis, reputabitur vobis quasi de area, et torculari dederitis primitias:

And thou shalt say to them: If you offer all the goodly and the better things of the tithes, it shall be reckoned to you as if you had given the firstfruits of the barnfloor and the winepress:

Et dic ad illos: si praeclara et bono omni offer ex decimes, reputa ad vos quasi de area, et de torculari da primitias:

et comedetis eas in omnibus locis vestris, tam vos quam familiæ vestræ: quia pretium est pro ministerio, quo servitis in tabernaculo testimonii.

And you shall eat them in all your places, both you and your families: because it is your reward for the ministry, wherewith you serve in the tabernacle of the testimony.

Et vos comede in omni locos vestro, tam illas quam de familia vestro: quia pretio es pro ministerio, quo servi in tabernaculo de testimonio.

Et non peccabitis super hoc, egregia vobis et pinguia reservantes, ne polluatis oblationes filiorum Israël, et moriamini.

And you shall not sin in this point, by reserving the choicest and fat things to yourselves, lest you profane the oblations of the children of Israel, and die.

Et non pecca super hoc, egregio ad vos et pingui reserva, ne pollue oblationes de filios Israële, et more.
