1Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2Fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles, quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra.
2Make thee two trumpets of beaten silver, wherewith thou mayest call together the multitude when the camp is to be removed.
3Cumque increpueris tubis, congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis.
3And when thou shalt sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather unto thee to the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.
4Si semel clangueris, venient ad te principes, et capita multitudinis Israël.
4If thou sound but once, the princes and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to thee.
5Si autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit, movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam.
5But if the sound of the trumpets be longer, and with interruptions, they that are on the east side, shall first go forward.
6In secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubæ, levabunt tentoria qui habitant ad meridiem; et juxta hunc modum reliqui facient, ululantibus tubis in profectionem.
6And at the second sounding and like noise of the trumpet, they who lie on the south side shall take up their tents. And after this manner shall the rest do, when the trumpets shall sound for a march.
7Quando autem congregandus est populus, simplex tubarum clangor erit, et non concise ululabunt.
7But when the people is to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be plain, and they shall not make a broken sound.
8Filii autem Aaron sacerdotes clangent tubis: eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris.
8And the sons of Aaron the priest shall sound the trumpets: and this shall be an ordinance for ever in your generations.
9Si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos, clangetis ululantibus tubis, et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro, ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum.
9If you go forth to war out of your land against the enemies that fight against you, you shall sound aloud with the trumpets, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, that you may be delivered out of the hands of your enemies.
10Siquando habebitis epulum, et dies festos, et calendas, canetis tubis super holocaustis, et pacificis victimis, ut sint vobis in recordationem Dei vestri. Ego Dominus Deus vester.
10If at any time you shall have a banquet, and on your festival days, and on the first days of your months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts, and the sacrifices of peace offerings, that they may be to you for a remembrance of your God. I am the Lord your God.

29Dixitque Moyses Hobab filio Raguel Madianitæ, cognato suo: Proficiscimur ad locum quem Dominus daturus est nobis: veni nobiscum, ut benefaciamus tibi, quia Dominus bona promisit Israëli.
29And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Madianite, his kinsman: We are going towards the place which the Lord will give us: come with us, that we may do thee good: for the Lord hath promised good things to Israel.
30Cui ille respondit: Non vadam tecum, sed revertar in terram meam, in qua natus sum.
30But he answered him: I will not go with thee, but I will return to my country, wherein I was born.
31Et ille: Noli, inquit, nos relinquere: tu enim nosti in quibus locis per desertum castra ponere debeamus, et eris ductor noster.
31And he said: Do not leave us: for thou knowest in what places we should encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be our guide.
32Cumque nobiscum veneris, quidquid optimum fuerit ex opibus, quas nobis traditurus est Dominus, dabimus tibi.
32And if thou comest with us, we will give thee what is the best of the riches which the Lord shall deliver to us.
33Profecti sunt ergo de monte Domini viam trium dierum, arcaque fœderis Domini præcedebat eos, per dies tres providens castrorum locum.
