Liber Numeri

Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens:

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

Et locuto es Domino ad Moyse et Aarone, dicente:

Ista est religio victimæ, quam constituit Dominus. Præcipe filiis Israël, ut adducant ad te vaccam rufam ætatis integræ, in qua nulla sit macula, nec portaverit jugum:

This is the observance of the victim, which the Lord hath ordained. Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee a red cow of full age, in which there is no blemish, and which hath not carried the yoke:

Isto es religione de victima, Domino constitue quam. Praecipie ad filios Israële, ut adduce ad te vacco rufa de aetate integro, in quo nullo es macula, nec porta iugo:

tradetisque eam Eleazaro sacerdoti, qui eductam extra castra, immolabit in conspectu omnium:

And you shall deliver her to Eleazar the priest, who shall bring her forth without the camp, and shall immolate her in the sight of all:

Et trade illa ad Eleazaro ad sacerdote, qui educe extra castros, immola in conspectu de omni:

et tingens digitum in sanguine ejus, asperget contra fores tabernaculi septem vicibus,

And dipping his finger in her blood, shall sprinkle it over against the door of the tabernacle seven times,

Et tinge digito in sanguine de illo, asperge contra foris de tabernaculo septeme vice,

comburetque eam cunctis videntibus, tam pelle et carnibus ejus quam sanguine et fimo flammæ traditis.

And shall burn her in the sight of all delivering up to the fire her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, and her dung.

Et combure illa cuncta vide, tam pelle et carnes de illo quam sanguine et fimo de flamma trade.

Lignum quoque cedrinum, et hyssopum, coccumque bis tinctum sacerdos mittet in flammam, quæ vaccam vorat.

The priest shall also take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet twice dyed, and cast it into the flame, with which the cow is consumed.

Ligno etiam cedrino, et hyssopo, et cocco bis tinge sacerdote mitte in flamma, que vora vacco.

Et tunc demum, lotis vestibus et corpore suo, ingredietur in castra, commaculatusque erit usque ad vesperum.

And then after washing his garments, and body, he shall enter into the camp, and shall be unclean until the evening.

Et tunc demum, lava vestes et corpore suo, ingredior in castros, et commaculor es usque ad vespere.

Sed et ille qui combusserit eam, lavabit vestimenta sua et corpus, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.

He also that hath burned her, shall wash his garments, and his body, and shall be unclean until the evening.

Sed et illo qui comburga illa, lava vestimentos suo et corpore, et immundo es usque ad vespere.

Colliget autem vir mundus cineres vaccæ, et effundet eos extra castra in loco purissimo, ut sint multitudini filiorum Israël in custodiam, et in aquam aspersionis: quia pro peccato vacca combusta est.

And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the cow, and shall pour them forth without the camp in a most clean place, that they may be reserved for the multitude of the children of Israel, and for a water of aspersion: because the cow was burnt for sin.

Viro autem mundo collige cineres de vacca, et effunde illos extra castros in loco purissimo, ut es ad multitudine de filios Israële in custodia, et in aqua de aspersione: quia pro peccato vacco combure es.

Cumque laverit qui vaccæ portaverat cineres vestimenta sua, immundus erit usque ad vesperum. Habebunt hoc filii Israël, et advenæ qui habitant inter eos, sanctum jure perpetuo.

And when he that carried the ashes of the cow, hath washed his garments, he shall be unclean until the evening. The children of Israel, and the strangers that dwell among them, shall observe this for a holy thing by a perpetual ordinance.

Cumque qui de vacca porta cineres vestimentos suo lava, immundo es usque ad vespere. Habe hoc filios Israële, et advenas qui habita inter illos, sancto iure perpetua.

Qui tetigerit cadaver hominis, et propter hoc septem diebus fuerit immundus,

He that toucheth the corpse of a man, and is therefore unclean seven days,

Qui tange cadavere de homine, et propter hoc septeme die es immundo,

aspergetur ex hac aqua die tertio et septimo, et sic mundabitur. Si die tertio aspersus non fuerit, septimo non poterit emundari.

Shall be sprinkled with this water on the third day, and on the seventh, and so shall be cleansed. If he were not sprinkled on the third day, he cannot be cleansed on the seventh.

Asperge ex hoc aqua die tertio et septimo, et sic munda. Si die tertio asperge non es, septimo non pote emunda.

Omnis qui tetigerit humanæ animæ morticinum, et aspersus hac commistione non fuerit, polluet tabernaculum Domini et peribit ex Israël: quia aqua expiationis non est aspersus, immundus erit, et manebit spurcitia ejus super eum.

Every one that toucheth the corpse of a man, and is not sprinkled with this mixture, shall profane the tabernacle of the Lord, and shall perish out of Israel: because he was not sprinkled with the water of expiation, he shall be unclean, and his uncleanness shall remain upon him.

Omni qui tange humano ad anima morticino, et asperge hoc commistione non es, pollue tabernaculo de Domino et peri ex Israële: quia aqua de expiatione non es asperge, immundo es, et spurcitia de illo mane super illo.

Ista est lex hominis qui moritur in tabernaculo: omnes qui ingrediuntur tentorium illius, et universa vasa quæ ibi sunt, polluta erunt septem diebus.

This is the law of a man that dieth in a tent: All that go into his tent and all the vessels that are there, shall be unclean seven days.

Isto es lege de homine qui more in tabernaculo: omni qui ingredior tentorio de illo, et universa vases que ibi es, pollue es septeme die.

Vas, quod non habuerit operculum nec ligaturam desuper, immundum erit.

The vessel that hath no cover, nor binding over it, shall be unclean.

Vase, quod non habe operculo nec ligatura desuper, immundo es.

Si quis in agro tetigerit cadaver occisi hominis, aut per se mortui, sive os illius, vel sepulchrum, immundus erit septem diebus.

If any man in the field touch the corpse of a man that was slain, or that died of himself, or his bone, or his grave, he shall be unclean seven days.

Si qui in agro tange cadavere occide de homine, aut per se mortuo, sive ore de illo, vel sepulchro, immundo es septeme die.

Tollentque de cineribus combustionis atque peccati, et mittent aquas vivas super eos in vas:

And they shall take of the ashes of the burning and of the sin offering, and shall pour living waters upon them into a vessel.

Et tolle de cineres de combustione et de peccato, et mitte aquas vive super illos in vase:

in quibus cum homo mundus tinxerit hyssopum, asperget ex eo omne tentorium, et cunctam supellectilem, et homines hujuscemodi contagione pollutos:

And a man that is clean shall dip hyssop in them, and shall sprinkle therewith all the tent, and all the furniture, and the men that are defiled with touching any such thing:

In que cum homine mundo tinge hyssopo, asperge ex eo omni tentorio, et cunga supellectili, et homines de huiuscemodos contagione pollue:

atque hoc modo mundus lustrabit immundum tertio et septimo die: expiatusque die septimo, lavabit et se et vestimenta sua, et immundus erit usque ad vesperum.

And in this manner he that is clean shall purify the unclean on the third and on the seventh day. And being expiated the seventh day, he shall wash both himself and his garments, and be unclean until the evening.

Et hoc solo mundo lustra immundo tertio et septimo die: et expia die septimo, lava et se et vestimentos suo, et immundo es usque ad vespere.

Si quis hoc ritu non fuerit expiatus, peribit anima illius de medio ecclesiæ: quia sanctuarium Domini polluit, et non est aqua lustrationis aspersus.

If any man be not expiated after this rite, his soul shall perish out of the midst of the church: because he hath profaned the sanctuary of the Lord, and was not sprinkled with the water of purification.

Si qui hoc ritu non es expia, anima de illo peri de medio de ecclesia: quia sanctuario de Domino pollue, et non es aqua de lustratione asperge.

Erit hoc præceptum legitimum sempiternum. Ipse quoque qui aspergit aquas, lavabit vestimenta sua. Omnis qui tetigerit aquas expiationis, immundus erit usque ad vesperum.

This precept shall be an ordinance for ever. He also that sprinkled the water, shall wash his garments. Every one that shall touch the waters of expiation, shall be unclean until the evening.

Hoc praecepto legitima sempiterno es. Ipso etiam qui asperge aquas, lava vestimentos suo. Omni qui tange aquas de expiatione, immundo es usque ad vespere.

Quidquid tetigerit immundus, immundum faciet: et anima, quæ horum quippiam tetigerit, immunda erit usque ad vesperum.

Whatsoever a person toucheth who is unclean, he shall make it unclean: and the person that toucheth any of these things, shall be unclean until the evening.

Immundo tange omni, immundo i fac: et anima, que tange de hoc quippiame, immundo es usque ad vespere.
