1Hæ sunt generationes Aaron et Moysi in die qua locutus est Dominus ad Moysen in monte Sinai.
1This is the account of Aaron and Moses at the time the LORD spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai.
2Et hæc nomina filiorum Aaron: primogenitus ejus Nadab, deinde Abiu, et Eleazar, et Ithamar.
2These are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, then Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
3Hæc nomina filiorum Aaron sacerdotum qui uncti sunt, et quorum repletæ et consecratæ manus ut sacerdotio fungerentur.
3These were Aaron’s sons, the anointed priests, who were ordained to serve as priests.
4Mortui sunt enim Nadab et Abiu cum offerrent ignem alienum in conspectu Domini in deserto Sinai, absque liberis: functique sunt sacerdotio Eleazar et Ithamar coram Aaron patre suo.
4Nadab and Abihu, however, died in the presence of the LORD when they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai. And since they had no sons, only Eleazar and Ithamar served as priests during the lifetime of their father Aaron.
5Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
5Then the LORD said to Moses,
6Applica tribum Levi, et fac stare in conspectu Aaron sacerdotis ut ministrent ei, et excubent,
6“Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him.
7et observent quidquid ad cultum pertinet multitudinis coram tabernaculo testimonii,
7They are to perform duties for him and for the whole congregation before the Tent of Meeting, attending to the service of the tabernacle.
8et custodiant vasa tabernaculi, servientes in ministerio ejus.
8They shall take care of all the furnishings of the Tent of Meeting and fulfill obligations for the Israelites by attending to the service of the tabernacle.
9Dabisque dono Levitas
9Assign the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they have been given exclusively to him from among the Israelites.
10Aaron et filiis ejus, quibus traditi sunt a filiis Israël. Aaron autem et filios ejus constitues super cultum sacerdotii. Externus, qui ad ministrandum accesserit, morietur.
10So you shall appoint Aaron and his sons to carry out the duties of the priesthood; but any outsider who approaches the tabernacle must be put to death.”
11Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
11Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
12Ego tuli Levitas a filiis Israël pro omni primogenito, qui aperit vulvam in filiis Israël, eruntque Levitæ mei.
12“Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel in place of every firstborn Israelite from the womb. The Levites belong to Me,
13Meum est enim omne primogenitum: ex quo percussi primogenitos in terra Ægypti, sanctificavi mihi quidquid primum nascitur in Israël: ab homine usque ad pecus, mei sunt. Ego Dominus.
13for all the firstborn are Mine. On the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine; I am the LORD.”
14Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in deserto Sinai, dicens:
14Then the LORD spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai, saying,
15Numera filios Levi per domos patrum suorum et familias, omnem masculum ab uno mense et supra.
15“Number the Levites by their families and clans. You are to count every male a month old or more.”
