Liber Exodus

Post hæc ingressi sunt Moyses et Aaron, et dixerunt Pharaoni: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Dimitte populum meum ut sacrificet mihi in deserto.

After these things, Moses and Aaron went in, and said to Pharao: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: Let my people go, that they may sacrifice to me in the desert.

Post hoc ingredior es Moyse et Aarone, et dic ad Pharaone: Domino Deo Israële dic hoc: remitte populo meo ut sacrifica ad me in deserto.

At ille respondit: Quis est Dominus, ut audiam vocem ejus, et dimittam Israël? nescio Dominum, et Israël non dimittam.

But he answered: Who is the Lord, that I should hear his voice, and let Israel go? I know not the Lord, neither will I let Israel go.

Sed illo responde: qui es Domino, ut audi voce de illo, et dimitte Israële? Ne sci Domino, et Israële non dimitte.

Dixeruntque: Deus Hebræorum vocavit nos, ut eamus viam trium dierum in solitudinem, et sacrificemus Domino Deo nostro: ne forte accidat nobis pestis aut gladius.

And they said: The God of the Hebrews hath called us, to go three days' journey into the wilderness, and to sacrifice to the Lord our God; lest a pestilence or the sword fall upon us.

Et dic: deo de Hebraeis voca nos, ut i via tre de die in solitudine, et sacrifica ad Domino ad Deo nostro: ne forte peste ad nos aut gladio accide.

Ait ad eos rex Ægypti: Quare Moyses et Aaron sollicitatis populum ab operibus suis? ite ad onera vestra.

The king of Egypt said to them: Why do you Moses and Aaron draw off the people from their works? Get you gone to your burdens.

Dic ad illos rege de Aegypto: quare Moyse et Aarone ad sollicitates populo ab operes suo? I ad oneres vestro.

Dixitque Pharao: Multus est populus terræ: videtis quod turba succreverit: quanto magis si dederitis eis requiem ab operibus?

And Pharao said: The people of the land are numerous; you see that the multitude is increased; how much more if you give them rest from their works?

Et dic Pharao: multo es populo de terra: vide quod turba succreda: quanto magis si da ad illos requie ab operes?

Præcepit ergo in die illo præfectis operum et exactoribus populi, dicens:

Therefore he commanded the same day the overseers of the works, and the task-masters of the people, saying:

Praecipie ergo in die illo praefectos de operes et exactores de populo, dicente:

Nequaquam ultra dabitis paleas populo ad conficiendos lateres, sicut prius: sed ipsi vadant, et colligant stipulas.

You shall give straw no more to the people to make brick, as before; but let them go and gather straw.

Nequamuam ultra da paleas ad populo ad conficie lateres, sicut ante: sed ipso vade, et collige stipulas.

Et mensuram laterum, quam prius faciebant, imponetis super eos, nec minuetis quidquam: vacant enim, et idcirco vociferantur, dicentes: Eamus, et sacrificemus Deo nostro.

And you shall lay upon them the task of bricks, which they did before; neither shall you diminish any thing thereof, for they are idle, and therefore they cry. saying: Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

Et mensura de lateres, quam ante fac, impone super illos, nec minue ullo: vaca nam, et ergo vocifera, dicente: i, et sacrifica ad Deo nostro.

Opprimantur operibus, et expleant ea: ut non acquiescant verbis mendacibus.

Let them be oppressed with works, and let them fulfil them; that they may not regard lying words.

Opprime ad operes, et exple illa: ut non acquiesce verbos mendaces.

Igitur egressi præfecti operum et exactores ad populum, dixerunt: Sic dicit Pharao: Non do vobis paleas:

And the overseers of the works, and the taskmasters, went out and said to the people: Thus saith Pharao: I allow you no straw;

Ergo egredior praefectos de operes et exactores ad populo, dic: sic Pharao dic: non da ad vos paleas:

ite, et colligite sicubi invenire poteritis, nec minuetur quidquam de opere vestro.

Go, and gather it where you can find it; neither shall any thing of your work be diminished.

I, et collige sicubi inveni pote, nec ullo minue de opere vestro.

Dispersusque est populus per omnem terram Ægypti ad colligendas paleas.

And the people was scattered through all the land of Egypt to gather straw.

Et disperso es populo per omni terra de Aegypto ad collige paleas.

Præfecti quoque operum instabant, dicentes: Complete opus vestrum quotidie, ut prius facere solebatis quando dabantur vobis paleæ.

And the overseers of the works pressed them, saying: Fulfil your work every day, as before ye were wont to do, when straw was given you.

Praefectos etiam de operes insta, dicente: complese opere vestro quotidie, ut ante facere sole quando paleas ad vos da.

Flagellatique sunt qui præerant operibus filiorum Israël, ab exactoribus Pharaonis, dicentibus: Quare non impletis mensuram laterum sicut prius, nec heri, nec hodie?

And they that were over the works of the children of Israel, were scourged by Pharao's taskmasters, saying: Why have you not made up the task of bricks, both yesterday and to day, as before?

Et flagellatos es qui praesume ad operes de filios Israële, ab exactores de Pharaone, dic: quare non imple mensura de lateres sicut ante, nec heri, nec hodie?

Veneruntque præpositi filiorum Israël, et vociferati sunt ad Pharaonem dicentes: Cur ita agis contra servos tuos?

And the officers of the children of Israel came, and cried out to Pharao, saying: Why dealest thou so with thy servants?

Et praepone de filios Israële veni, et vocifera es ad Pharaone dicente: quare ita age contra servos tuo?

paleæ non dantur nobis, et lateres similiter imperantur: en famuli tui flagellis cædimur, et injuste agitur contra populum tuum.

Straw is not given us, and bricks are required of us as before; behold we, thy servants, are beaten with whips, and thy people is unjustly dealt withal.

Paleas non da ad nos, et latere similiter impera: en famulos tuo flagellos caede, et iniuste age contra populo tuo.

Qui ait: Vacatis otio, et idcirco dicitis: Eamus, et sacrificemus Domino.

And he said: You are idle, and therefore you say: Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.

Qui dic: de vacatos otio, et ergo dic: i, et sacrifica ad Domino.

Ite ergo, et operamini: paleæ non dabuntur vobis, et reddetis consuetum numerum laterum.

Go therefore and work: straw shall not be given you, and you shall deliver the accustomed number of bricks.

Greek.expression ergo, et operor: paleas non da ad vos, et redde consueto numero de lateres.

Videbantque se præpositi filiorum Israël in malo, eo quod diceretur eis: Non minuetur quidquam de lateribus per singulos dies.

And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in evil case, because it was said to them: There shall not a whit be diminished of the bricks for every day.

Et vide se praepone de filios Israële in malo, eo quod dic ad illos: non ullo minue de lateres per singulo dies.

Occurreruntque Moysi et Aaron, qui stabant ex adverso, egredientibus a Pharaone:

And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood over against them as they came out from Pharao:

Et occurre ad Moysi et Aarone, qui sta ex contra, egredior ab Pharaone:

et dixerunt ad eos: Videat Dominus et judicet, quoniam fœtere fecistis odorem nostrum coram Pharaone et servis ejus, et præbuistis ei gladium, ut occideret nos.

And they said to them: The Lord see and judge, because you have, made our savour to stink before Pharao and his servants, and you have given him a sword, to kill us.

Et dic ad illos: Domino vide et iudica, quia foetere fac odore nostro coram Pharaone et servos de illo, et praebe ad illo gladio, ut occide nos.

Reversusque est Moyses ad Dominum, et ait: Domine, cur afflixisti populum istum? quare misisti me?

And Moses returned to the Lord, and said: Lord, why hast thou afflicted this people? wherefore hast thou sent me?

Et reverte es Moyse ad Domino, et domino: dic, quare afflige populo isto? Quare mitte me?

ex eo enim quo ingressus sum ad Pharaonem ut loquerer in nomine tuo, afflixit populum tuum: et non liberasti eos.

For since the time that I went in to Pharao to speak in thy name, he hath afflicted thy people: and thou hast not delivered them.

Ex eo nam quo ingredior es ad Pharaone ut loque in nomine tuo, afflige populo tuo: et non libera illos.
