VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Locutus quoque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :	1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:
2 Loquere ad Aaron et ad filios ejus, ut caveant ab his quæ consecrata sunt filiorum Israël, et non contaminent nomen sanctificatorum mihi, quæ ipsi offerunt. Ego Dominus.	2 'Speak to Aaron and his sons. They must be consecrated by the holy offerings of the Israelites andmust not profane my holy name; for my sake they must sanctify it; I am Yahweh.
3 Dic ad eos, et ad posteros eorum : Omnis homo qui accesserit de stirpe vestra ad ea quæ consecrata sunt, et quæ obtulerunt filii Israël Domino, in quo est immunditia, peribit coram Domino. Ego sum Dominus.	3 Say to them: "Any one of your descendants, for al time, who in a state of uncleanness approaches theholy offerings consecrated to Yahweh by the Israelites, wil be outlawed from my presence. I am Yahweh.
4 Homo de semine Aaron, qui fuerit leprosus, aut patiens fluxum seminis, non vescetur de his quæ sanctificata sunt mihi, donec sanetur. Qui tetigerit immundum super mortuo, et ex quo egreditur semen quasi coitus,	4 "Anyone of Aaron's line who is afflicted with a contagious skin-disease or a discharge will not eat holythings until he is clean. Anyone who touches anything made unclean by a dead body, or who has a seminaldischarge,
5 et qui tangit reptile, et quodlibet immundum cujus tactus est sordidus,	5 or who is made unclean by touching any kind of reptile or any one who has contaminated him with hisown uncleanness, be it what it may,
6 immundus erit usque ad vesperum, et non vescetur his quæ sanctificata sunt : sed cum laverit carnem suam aqua,	6 in short, anyone who has had any such contact wil be unclean until evening, and must not eat holythings until he has washed his body.
7 et occubuerit sol, tunc mundatus vescetur de sanctificatis, quia cibus illius est.	7 At sunset he wil be clean and may then eat holy things, for these are his food.
8 Morticinum et captum a bestia non comedent, nec polluentur in eis. Ego sum Dominus.	8 "He must not eat an animal that has died a natural death or been savaged; he would contractuncleanness from it. I am Yahweh.
9 Custodiant præcepta mea, ut non subjaceant peccato, et moriantur in sanctuario, cum polluerint illud. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.	9 "They must keep my rules and not burden themselves with sin. If they profane them, they will incurdeath; I, Yahweh, have sanctified them.
10 Omnis alienigena non comedet de sanctificatis ; inquilinus sacerdotis et mercenarius non vescentur ex eis.	10 "No lay person may eat anything holy; no guest or employee of a priest may eat anything holy.
11 Quem autem sacerdos emerit, et qui vernaculus domus ejus fuerit, his comedent ex eis.	11 But if the priest has acquired a slave by purchase, the slave may eat it like anyone born in hishousehold; they will share his food.
12 Si filia sacerdotis cuilibet ex populo nupta fuerit, de his quæ sanctificata sunt, et de primitiis non vescetur.	12 "If a priest's daughter marries a layman, she will have no share in the holy things set aside,
13 Sin autem vidua, vel repudiata, et absque liberis reversa fuerit ad domum patris sui : sicut puella consueverat, aletur cibis patris sui. Omnis alienigena comedendi ex eis non habet potestatem.	13 but if she is widowed or divorced and, being childless, has had to return to her father's house aswhen she was young, she may share her father's food. No lay person may share it;
14 Qui comederit de sanctificatis per ignorantiam, addet quintam partem cum eo quod comedit, et dabit sacerdoti in sanctuarium.	14 anyone who does eat a holy thing by inadvertence, wil restore it to the priest with one-fifth added.
15 Nec contaminabunt sanctificata filiorum Israël, quæ offerunt Domino :	15 "They may not profane the holy offerings which the Israelites have set aside for Yahweh.
16 ne forte sustineant iniquitatem delicti sui, cum sanctificata comederint. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico eos.	16 By eating these, they would burden them with guilt requiring a sacrifice of reparation; for I, Yahweh, have sanctified these offerings." '
17 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :	17 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:
18 Loquere ad Aaron et filios ejus, et ad omnes filios Israël, dicesque ad eos : Homo de domo Israël, et de advenis qui habitant apud vos, qui obtulerit oblationem suam, vel vota solvens, vel sponte offerens, quidquid illud obtulerit in holocaustum Domini,	18 'Speak to Aaron, to his sons, and to al the Israelites and say: "Any member of the House of Israel orany alien resident in Israel who brings an offering either in payment of a vow or as a voluntary gift, and offers itas a burnt offering to Yahweh,
19 ut offeratur per vos, masculus immaculatus erit ex bobus, et ovibus, et ex capris :	19 must, if he is to be acceptable, offer an unblemished male, be it bul or sheep or goat.
20 si maculam habuerit, non offeretis, neque erit acceptabile.	20 You wil not offer anything with a blemish, for it would not make you acceptable.
21 Homo qui obtulerit victimam pacificorum Domino, vel vota solvens, vel sponte offerens, tam de bobus quam de ovibus, immaculatum offeret ut acceptabile sit : omnis macula non erit in eo.	21 "If anyone offers Yahweh a communion sacrifice, either to fulfil a vow or as a voluntary offering, theanimal, be it from the herd or flock, must be perfect, if he is to be acceptable; it must be unblemished.
22 Si cæcum fuerit, si fractum, si cicatricem habens, si papulas, aut scabiem, aut impetiginem : non offeretis ea Domino, nec adolebitis ex eis super altare Domini.	22 You wil not offer Yahweh any animal which is blind, lame, mutilated, ulcerous, scabby or covered insores. No part of such an animal wil be offered on the altar as food burnt for Yahweh.
23 Bovem et ovem, aure et cauda amputatis, voluntarie offerre potes, votum autem ex eis solvi non potest.	23 As a voluntary offering, you may offer a bul or a lamb that is underdeveloped or deformed; but suchwil not be acceptable in payment of a vow.
24 Omne animal, quod vel contritis, vel tusis, vel sectis ablatisque testiculis est, non offeretis Domino, et in terra vestra hoc omnino ne faciatis.	24 You wil not offer Yahweh an animal if its testicles have been bruised, crushed, torn or cut off. Youmay not do that in your country,
25 De manu alienigenæ non offeretis panes Deo vestro, et quidquid aliud dare voluerit, quia corrupta, et maculata sunt omnia : non suscipietis ea.	25 and you may not accept any such from the hands of a stranger, to be offered as food for your God.Their deformity is a blemish, and they would not make you acceptable." '
26 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :	26 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said:
27 Bos, ovis et capra, cum genita fuerint, septem diebus erunt sub ubere matris suæ : die autem octavo, et deinceps, offerri poterunt Domino.	27 'A calf, lamb, or kid will stay with its dam for seven days after being born. From the eighth dayonwards, it wil be acceptable as food burnt for Yahweh.
28 Sive illa bos, sive ovis, non immolabuntur una die cum fœtibus suis.	28 But no animal, whether cow or ewe, wil be slaughtered on the same day as its young.
29 Si immolaveritis hostiam pro gratiarum actione Domino, ut possit esse placabilis,	29 'If you offer Yahweh a sacrifice with praise, do it in the acceptable manner;
30 eodem die comedetis eam : non remanebit quidquam in mane alterius diei. Ego Dominus.	30 it must be eaten the same day; you wil leave nothing over til next morning. I am Yahweh.
31 Custodite mandata mea, et facite ea. Ego Dominus.	31 'You wil keep my commands and put them into practice. I am Yahweh.
32 Ne polluatis nomen meum sanctum, ut sanctificer in medio filiorum Israël. Ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos,	32 You wil not profane my holy name -- so that I may be honoured as holy among the Israelites, I,Yahweh, who make you holy,
33 et eduxi de terra Ægypti, ut essem vobis in Deum. Ego Dominus.	33 I who brought you out of Egypt, to be your God, I, Yahweh.'
