The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
1
dixit quoque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron in terra Aegypti
2 Let this month be to you the first of months, the first month of the year.
2
mensis iste vobis principium mensuum primus erit in mensibus anni
3 Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:
3
loquimini ad universum coetum filiorum Israhel et dicite eis decima die mensis huius tollat unusquisque agnum per familias et domos suas
4 And if the lamb is more than enough for the family, let that family and its nearest neighbour have a lamb between them, taking into account the number of persons and how much food is needed for every man.
4
sin autem minor est numerus ut sufficere possit ad vescendum agnum adsumet vicinum suum qui iunctus est domui eius iuxta numerum animarum quae sufficere possunt ad esum agni
5 Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:
5
erit autem agnus absque macula masculus anniculus iuxta quem ritum tolletis et hedum
6 Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.
6
et servabitis eum usque ad quartamdecimam diem mensis huius immolabitque eum universa multitudo filiorum Israhel ad vesperam
7 Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.
7
et sument de sanguine ac ponent super utrumque postem et in superliminaribus domorum in quibus comedent illum
8 And let your food that night be the flesh of the lamb, cooked with fire in the oven, together with unleavened bread and bitter-tasting plants.
8
et edent carnes nocte illa assas igni et azymos panes cum lactucis agrestibus
9 Do not take it uncooked or cooked with boiling water, but let it be cooked in the oven; its head with its legs and its inside parts.
9
non comedetis ex eo crudum quid nec coctum aqua sed assum tantum igni caput cum pedibus eius et intestinis vorabitis
10 Do not keep any of it till the morning; anything which is not used is to be burned with fire.
10
nec remanebit ex eo quicquam usque mane si quid residui fuerit igne conburetis
11 And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.
11
sic autem comedetis illum renes vestros accingetis calciamenta habebitis in pedibus tenentes baculos in manibus et comedetis festinantes est enim phase id est transitus Domini
12 For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.
12
et transibo per terram Aegypti nocte illa percutiamque omne primogenitum in terra Aegypti ab homine usque ad pecus et in cunctis diis Aegypti faciam iudicia ego Dominus
13 And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt.
13
erit autem sanguis vobis in signum in aedibus in quibus eritis et videbo sanguinem ac transibo vos nec erit in vobis plaga disperdens quando percussero terram Aegypti
14 And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.
14
habebitis autem hanc diem in monumentum et celebrabitis eam sollemnem Domino in generationibus vestris cultu sempiterno
15 For seven days let your food be unleavened bread; from the first day no leaven is to be seen in your houses: whoever takes bread with leaven in it, from the first till the seventh day, will be cut off from Israel.
15
septem diebus azyma comedetis in die primo non erit fermentum in domibus vestris quicumque comederit fermentatum peribit anima illa de Israhel a primo die usque ad diem septimum
16 And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.
16
dies prima erit sancta atque sollemnis et dies septima eadem festivitate venerabilis nihil operis facietis in eis exceptis his quae ad vescendum pertinent
17 So keep the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have taken your armies out of the land of Egypt: this day, then, is to be kept through all your generations by an order for ever.
17
et observabitis azyma in eadem enim ipsa die educam exercitum vestrum de terra Aegypti et custodietis diem istum in generationes vestras ritu perpetuo
18 In the first month, from the evening of the fourteenth day, let your food be unleavened bread till the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.
18
primo mense quartadecima die mensis ad vesperam comedetis azyma usque ad diem vicesimam primam eiusdem mensis ad vesperam
19 For seven days no leaven is to be seen in your houses: for whoever takes bread which is leavened will be cut off from the people of Israel, if he is from another country or if he is an Israelite by birth.
19
septem diebus fermentum non invenietur in domibus vestris qui comederit fermentatum peribit anima eius de coetu Israhel tam de advenis quam de indigenis terrae
20 Take nothing which has leaven in it; wherever you are living let your food be unleavened cakes.
20
omne fermentatum non comedetis in cunctis habitaculis vestris edetis azyma
21 Then Moses sent for the chiefs of Israel, and said to them, See that lambs are marked out for yourselves and your families, and let the Passover lamb be put to death.
21
vocavit autem Moses omnes seniores filiorum Israhel et dixit ad eos ite tollentes animal per familias vestras immolate phase
22 And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.
22
fasciculumque hysopi tinguite sanguine qui est in limine et aspergite ex eo superliminare et utrumque postem nullus vestrum egrediatur ostium domus suae usque mane
23 For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.
23
transibit enim Dominus percutiens Aegyptios cumque viderit sanguinem in superliminari et in utroque poste transcendet ostium et non sinet percussorem ingredi domos vestras et laedere
24 And you are to keep this as an order to you and to your sons for ever.
24
custodi verbum istud legitimum tibi et filiis tuis usque in aeternum
25 And when you come into the land which the Lord will make yours, as he gave his word, you are to keep this act of worship.
25
cumque introieritis terram quam Dominus daturus est vobis ut pollicitus est observabitis caerimonias istas
26 And when your children say to you, What is the reason of this act of worship?
26
et cum dixerint vobis filii vestri quae est ista religio
27 Then you will say, This is the offering of the Lord's Passover; for he went over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he sent death on the Egyptians, and kept our families safe. And the people gave worship with bent heads.
27
dicetis eis victima transitus Domini est quando transivit super domos filiorum Israhel in Aegypto percutiens Aegyptios et domos nostras liberans incurvatusque populus adoravit
28 And the children of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had given orders to Moses and Aaron, so they did.
28
et egressi filii Israhel fecerunt sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi et Aaron
29 And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.
29
factum est autem in noctis medio percussit Dominus omne primogenitum in terra Aegypti a primogenito Pharaonis qui sedebat in solio eius usque ad primogenitum captivae quae erat in carcere et omne primogenitum iumentorum
30 Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not dead.
30
surrexitque Pharao nocte et omnes servi eius cunctaque Aegyptus et ortus est clamor magnus in Aegypto neque enim erat domus in qua non iaceret mortuus
31 And he sent for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Get up and go out from among my people, you and the children of Israel; go and give worship to the Lord as you have said.
31
vocatisque Mosen et Aaron nocte ait surgite egredimini a populo meo et vos et filii Israhel ite immolate Domino sicut dicitis
32 And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.
32
oves vestras et armenta adsumite ut petieratis et abeuntes benedicite mihi
33 And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; for they said, We are all dead men.
33
urguebantque Aegyptii populum de terra exire velociter dicentes omnes moriemur
34 And the people took their bread-paste before it was leavened, putting their basins in their clothing on their backs.
34
tulit igitur populus conspersam farinam antequam fermentaretur et ligans in palliis posuit super umeros suos
35 And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:
35
feceruntque filii Israhel sicut praeceperat Moses et petierunt ab Aegyptiis vasa argentea et aurea vestemque plurimam
36 And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.
36
dedit autem Dominus gratiam populo coram Aegyptiis ut commodarent eis et spoliaverunt Aegyptios
37 And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.
37
profectique sunt filii Israhel de Ramesse in Soccoth sescenta ferme milia peditum virorum absque parvulis
38 And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.
38
sed et vulgus promiscuum innumerabile ascendit cum eis oves et armenta et animantia diversi generis multa nimis
39 And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.
39
coxeruntque farinam quam dudum conspersam de Aegypto tulerant et fecerunt subcinericios panes azymos neque enim poterant fermentari cogentibus exire Aegyptiis et nullam facere sinentibus moram nec pulmenti quicquam occurrerant praeparare
40 Now the children of Israel had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.
40
habitatio autem filiorum Israhel qua manserant in Aegypto fuit quadringentorum triginta annorum
41 And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.
41
quibus expletis eadem die egressus est omnis exercitus Domini de terra Aegypti
42 It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.
42
nox est ista observabilis Domini quando eduxit eos de terra Aegypti hanc observare debent omnes filii Israhel in generationibus suis
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the law of the Passover: no man who is not an Israelite is to take of it:
43
dixitque Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron haec est religio phase omnis alienigena non comedet ex eo
44 But every man's servant, whom he has got for money, may take of it, when he has had circumcision.
44
omnis autem servus empticius circumcidetur et sic comedet
45 A man from a strange country living among you, and a servant working for payment, may not take part in it.
45
advena et mercennarius non edent ex eo
46 It is to be taken in one house; not a bit of the flesh is to be taken out of the house, and no bone of it may be broken.
46
in una domo comedetur nec efferetis de carnibus eius foras nec os illius confringetis
47 All Israel is to keep the feast.
47
omnis coetus filiorum Israhel faciet illud
48 And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.
48
quod si quis peregrinorum in vestram voluerit transire coloniam et facere phase Domini circumcidetur prius omne masculinum eius et tunc rite celebrabit eritque sicut indigena terrae si quis autem circumcisus non fuerit non vescetur ex eo
49 The law is the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from a strange country who is living with you.
49
eadem lex erit indigenae et colono qui peregrinatur apud vos
50 So the children of Israel did as the Lord gave orders to Moses and Aaron.
50
fecerunt omnes filii Israhel sicut praeceperat Dominus Mosi et Aaron
51 And on that very day the Lord took the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
51
et in eadem die eduxit Dominus filios Israhel de terra Aegypti per turmas suas
