1Arreptisque NadabAnd the sons of Aaron,et Abiu filii Aaron thuribulis,Nadab and Abihu,posuerunt ignem,picking up their censers,et incensum desuper,placed fire in them and incense upon them,offerentes coram Domino ignem alienum:offering in the sight of the Lord a strange fire,quod eis præceptum non erat.such as was not instructed of them.

2Egressusque ignis a Domino, devoravit eos,And fire coming out from the Lord destroyed them,et mortui sunt coram Domino.and they died in the sight of the Lord.

3Dixitque Moyses ad Aaron:And Moses said to Aaron:Hoc est quod locutus est Dominus:“This is what the Lord has spoken:Sanctificabor in iis qui appropinquant mihi,‘I will be sanctified in those who approach me,et in conspectu omnis populi glorificabor.and I will be glorified in the sight of all the people.’”Quod audiens tacuit Aaron.And upon hearing this, Aaron was silent.

4Vocatis autem Moyses Misaële et Elisaphan filiis Oziel,Then Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan,patrui Aaron,the sons of Uzziel,ait ad eos:the paternal uncle of Aaron,Ite,and he said to them,et tollite fratres vestros de conspectu sanctuarii,“Go and take your brothers from the sight of the Sanctuary,et asportate extra castra.and carry them beyond the camp.”

5Confestimque pergentes,And moving quickly,tulerunt eos sicut jacebant,they took them as they lay,vestitos lineis tunicis,vested with linen tunics,et ejecerunt foras,and cast them outside,ut sibi fuerat imperatum.just as had been commanded them.

6Locutusque est Moyses ad Aaron,And Moses said to Aaron,et ad Eleazar,and to his sons,et Ithamar,Eleazarfilios ejus:and Ithamar:Capita vestra nolite nudare,“Do not uncover your heads,et vestimenta nolite scindere,and do not rend your garments,ne forte moriamini,lest perhaps you may die,et super omnem cœtum oriatur indignatio.and indignation may rise up over the entire assembly.Fratres vestri,Let your brothers,et omnis domus Israël,and all the house of Israel,plangant incendium quod Dominus suscitavit:bewail the burning that the Lord has kindled.

7vos autem non egrediemini fores tabernaculi,But you shall not depart from the door of the tabernacle;alioquin peribitis:otherwise, you shall perish.oleum quippe sanctæ unctionis est super vos.For certainly the oil of holy anointing is upon you.”Qui fecerunt omnia juxta præceptum Moysi.And they did all things according to the precept of Moses.

8Dixit quoque Dominus ad Aaron:The Lord also said to Aaron:

9Vinum,“You shall not drink wine,et omne quod inebriare potest,nor anything that is able to inebriate younon bibetis tu et filii tui,or your sons,quando intratis in tabernaculum testimonii,when you enter into the tabernacle of the testimony,ne moriamini:lest you die.quia præceptum sempiternum est in generationes vestras:For it is an everlasting precept in your generations.

10et ut habeatis scientiam discernendi inter sanctum et profanum,And so may you have the knowledge to discern between holy and profane,inter pollutum et mundum;between polluted and clean.

11doceatisque filios Israël omnia legitima mea quæ locutus est Dominus ad eos per manum Moysi.And so may you teach the sons of Israel all my ordinances, which the Lord has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.”

12Locutusque est Moyses ad Aaron,And Moses spoke to Aaron,et ad Eleazar,and to his sons,et Ithamar, filios ejus,Eleazar and Ithamar,qui erant residui:who were remaining:Tollite sacrificium, quod remansit de oblatione Domini,“Take the sacrifice which remains from the oblation of the Lord,et comedite illud absque fermento juxta altare,and eat it without leaven next to the altar,quia Sanctum sanctorum est.because it is the Holy of holies.

13Comedetis autem in loco sancto:For you shall eat it in a holy place,quod datum est tibiwhich is given to you and to your sons,et filiis tuis de oblationibus Domini,from the oblations of the Lord,sicut præceptum est mihi.just as has been instructed me.

14Pectusculum quoque quod oblatum est,Likewise,et armum qui separatus est,the breast which is offered,edetis in loco mundissimo tuand the shoulder which is separated,et filii tui,you shall eat in a most clean place,et filiæ tuæ tecum:you and your sons,tibi enimand your daughters with you.ac liberis tuis reposita sunt de hostiis salutaribus filiorum Israël:For these have been set aside for you and your children from the victims which benefit the sons of Israel.

15eo quod armum et pectus,Since they have lifted up in the sight of the Lord,et adipes qui cremantur in altari,the shoulder,elevaverunt coram Domino,and the breast,et pertineant ad te,and the fat that is burned on the altar,et ad filios tuos,these also belong to youlege perpetua,and to your sons as a perpetual law,sicut præcepit Dominus.just as the Lord has instructed.”

16Inter hæc,Meanwhile,hircum,when Moses was searching for the he-goat,qui oblatus fuerat pro peccato,which had been offered for sin,cum quæreret Moyses,he discovered it burned up.exustum reperit:And being angry against Eleazariratusque contra Eleazar et Ithamar filios Aaron,and Ithamar,qui remanserant,the sons of Aaron who were remaining,ait:he said:

17Cur non comedistis hostiam pro peccato in loco sancto,“Why did you not eat the sacrifice for sin in the holy place,quæ Sancta sanctorum est,which is the Holy of holies,et data vobis ut portetis iniquitatem multitudinis,and which was given to you, so that you might carry the iniquity of the people,et rogetis pro ea in conspectu Domini,and might pray for them in the sight of the Lord,

18præsertim cum de sanguine illius non sit illatum intra sancta,especially since none of its blood has been brought into the holy places,et comedere debueritis eam in Sanctuario,and since you should have eaten it in the Sanctuary,sicut præceptum est mihi?as was instructed me?”

19Respondit Aaron:Aaron responded:Oblata est hodie victima pro peccato,“This day, the victim for sin has been offered,et holocaustum coram Domino:and the holocaust in the sight of the Lord.mihi autem accidit quod vides;But you see what has happened to me.quomodo potui comedere eam,How could I eat it,aut placere Domino in cæremoniis mente lugubri?or please the Lord in the ceremonies, having a sorrowful mind?”

20Quod cum audisset Moyses,But when Moses had heard this,recepit satisfactionem.he was satisfied.
