English onlyRead it word by word

Ex 12:1Dīxit quoque Dominus ad Moysēn et Aarōn in terrā Aegyptī: Mēnsis iste, vōbīs prīncipium mēnsium: prīmus erit in mēnsibus annī.The Lord also said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: "This month is for you the beginning of months: it will be first among the months of the year. Ex 12:3Loquiminī ad ūniversum coetum fīliōrum Isrāël, et dīcite eīs: Decimā diē mēnsis hujus tollat ūnusquisque agnum per familiās et domōs suās.Speak to all the assembly of the sons of Israel, and say to them: 'On the tenth day of this month let each take a lamb by their families and houses. Ex 12:4Sīn autem minor est numerus ut sufficere possit ad vēscendum agnum, assūmet vīcīnum suum quī jūnctus est domuī suae, jūxtā numerum animārum quae sufficere possunt ad ēsum agnī.But if the number is too small to be able to suffice for eating the lamb, he will take to himself his neighbour who is joined to his house, according to the number of souls which can suffice for the eating of the lamb. Ex 12:5Erit autem agnus absque maculā, masculus, anniculus: jūxtā quem rītum tollētis et haedum.And the lamb will be without blemish, a male, a year old: according to which rite you will also take a kid.

Ex 12:6Et servābitis eum ūsque ad quārtamdecimam diem mēnsis hujus: immolābitque eum ūniversa multitūdō fīliōrum Isrāël ad vesperam.And you will keep it until the fourteenth day of this month: and the whole multitude of the sons of Israel will sacrifice it at evening. Ex 12:7Et sūment dē sanguine ejus, ac pōnent super utrumque postem, et in superlīmināribus domōrum, in quibus comedent illum.And they will take of its blood, and put it upon each doorpost, and on the lintels of the houses, in which they will eat it. Ex 12:8Et ēdent carnēs nocte illā assās ignī, et azymōs pānēs cum lactūcīs agrestibus.And they will eat the flesh that night roasted with fire, and unleavened loaves with wild lettuces. Ex 12:9Nōn comedētis ex eō crūdum quid, nec coctum aquā, sed tantum assum ignī: caput cum pedibus ejus et intestīnīs vorābitis.You will not eat of it anything raw, nor boiled in water, but only roasted with fire: the head with its feet and entrails you will devour. Ex 12:10Nec remanēbit quidquam ex eō ūsque māne;Nor will anything of it remain until morning; Ex 12:10Sī quid residuum fuerit, igne combūrētis.if anything is left over, you will burn it with fire.

Ex 12:11Sīc autem comedētis illum: rēnēs vestrōs accingētis, et calceāmenta habēbitis in pedibus, tenentēs baculōs in manibus, et comedētis festīnanter: est enim Phase (id est, trānsitus) Dominī.And thus you will eat it: you will gird your loins, and you will have shoes on your feet, holding staffs in your hands, and you will eat in haste: for it is the Phase (that is, the passing) of the Lord. Ex 12:12Et trānsībō per terram Aegyptī nocte illā, percutiamque omne prīmogenitum in terrā Aegyptī ab homine ūsque ad pecus: et in cūnctīs diīs Aegyptī faciam jūdicia.And I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt from man to beast: and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgements. Ex 12:12Ego Dominus.I am the Lord. Ex 12:13Erit autem sanguis vōbīs in signum in aedibus in quibus eritis: et vidēbō sanguinem, et trānsībō vōs: nec erit in vōbīs plaga disperdēns quandō percusserō terram Aegyptī.And the blood will be for you as a sign in the houses in which you will be: and I will see the blood, and I will pass over you: nor will there be among you a destroying plague when I strike the land of Egypt.

Ex 12:14Habēbitis autem hunc diem in monumentum: et celebrābitis eam solemnem Dominō in generātiōnibus vestrīs cultū sempiternō.And you will have this day as a memorial: and you will celebrate it as solemn to the Lord in your generations with an everlasting worship. Ex 12:15Septem diēbus azyma comedētis: in diē prīmō nōn erit fermentum in domibus vestrīs: quīcumque comēderit fermentātum, perībit anima illa dē Isrāël, ā prīmō diē ūsque ad diem septimum.For seven days you will eat unleavened bread: on the first day there will be no leaven in your houses: whoever eats leavened bread, that soul will perish from Israel, from the first day to the seventh day. Ex 12:16Diēs prīma erit sāncta atque solemnis, et diēs septima eādem fēstīvitāte venerābilis: nihil operis faciētis in eīs, exceptīs hīs, quae ad vēscendum pertinent.The first day will be holy and solemn, and the seventh day venerable with the same festivity: you will do no work on them, except those things which belong to eating. Ex 12:17Et observābitis azyma: in eādem enim ipsā diē ēdūcam exercitum vestrum dē terrā Aegyptī, et custōdiētis diem istum in generātiōnēs vestrās rītū perpetuō.And you will observe the unleavened bread: for on that very same day I will lead your army out of the land of Egypt, and you will keep this day in your generations by a perpetual rite.

Ex 12:18Prīmō mēnse, Quārtādecimā diē mēnsis ad vesperam, comedētis azyma ūsque ad diem vīgēsimam prīmam ejusdem mēnsis ad vesperam.In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you will eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the same month at evening. Ex 12:19Septem diēbus fermentum nōn inveniētur in domibus vestrīs: quī comēderit fermentātum, perībit anima ejus dē coetū Isrāël, tam dē advenīs quam dē indigenīs terrae.For seven days leaven will not be found in your houses: he who eats leavened bread, his soul will perish from the assembly of Israel, whether of the newcomers or of the natives of the land. Ex 12:20Omne fermentātum nōn comedētis: in cūnctīs habitāculīs vestrīs ēdētis azyma.Anything leavened you will not eat: in all your dwellings you will eat unleavened bread.'" Ex 12:21Vocāvit autem Mōysēs omnēs seniōrēs fīliōrum Isrāël, et dīxit ad eōs: Īte tollentēs animal per familiās vestrās, et immolāte Phase.And Moses called all the elders of the sons of Israel, and said to them: "Go, taking an animal by your families, and sacrifice the Phase. Ex 12:22Fasciculumque hyssōpī tingite in sanguine quī est in līmine, et aspergite ex eō superlīmināre, et utrumque postem: nūllus vestrum ēgrediātur ōstium domus suae ūsque māne.And dip a bunch of hyssop in the blood which is on the threshold, and sprinkle the lintel with it, and each doorpost: let none of you go out of the door of his house until morning.

Ex 12:23Trānsībit enim Dominus percutiēns Aegyptiōs: cumque vīderit sanguinem in superlīminārī, et in utrōque poste, trānscendet ōstium domus, et nōn sinet percussōrem ingredī domōs vestrās et laedere.For the Lord will pass through striking the Egyptians: and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on each doorpost, he will pass over the door of the house, and will not allow the destroyer to go into your houses and harm you. Ex 12:24Custōdī verbum istud lēgitimum tibi et fīliīs tuīs ūsque in aeternum.Keep this word as lawful for you and for your sons for ever. Ex 12:25Cumque introieritis terram, quam Dominus datūrus est vōbīs ut pollicitus est, observābitis caeremōniās istās.And when you have gone into the land, which the Lord is going to give you as he has promised, you will observe these ceremonies. Ex 12:26Et cum dīxerint vōbīs fīliī vestrī: Quae est ista religiō?And when your sons say to you: 'What is this observance?' Ex 12:27Dīcētis eīs: Victima trānsitūs Dominī est, quandō trānsīvit super domōs fīliōrum Isrāël in Aegyptō, percutiēns Aegyptiōs, et domōs nostrās līberāns.you will say to them: 'It is the victim of the passing of the Lord, when he passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, striking the Egyptians, and freeing our houses.'"

Ex 12:27Incurvātusque populus adōrāvit.And the people, bowing down, worshipped. Ex 12:28Et ēgressī fīliī Isrāël fēcērunt sīcut praecēperat Dominus Mōysī et Aarōn.And the sons of Israel, having gone out, did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. Ex 12:29Factum est autem in noctis mediō, percussit Dominus omne prīmogenitum in terrā Aegyptī, ā prīmogenitō Pharaōnis, quī in soliō ejus sedēbat, ūsque ad prīmogenitum captīvae quae erat in carcere, et omne prīmogenitum jūmentōrum.And it came about at the middle of the night, the Lord struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who was sitting on his throne, to the firstborn of the captive woman who was in prison, and every firstborn of beasts. Ex 12:30Surrēxitque Pharaō nocte, et omnēs servī ejus, cūnctaque Aegyptus: et ortus est clamor magnus in Aegyptō: neque enim erat domus in quā nōn jacēret mortuus.And Pharaoh rose in the night, and all his servants, and all Egypt: and a great shout arose in Egypt: for there was not a house in which there was not lying one dead. Ex 12:31Vocātīsque Pharaō Mōyse et Aarōn nocte, ait: Surgite et ēgrediminī ā populō meō, vōs et fīliī Isrāël: īte, immolāte Dominō sīcut dīcitis.And Pharaoh, having called Moses and Aaron in the night, said: "Rise and go out from my people, you and the sons of Israel: go, sacrifice to the Lord as you say.

Ex 12:32Ovēs vestrās et armenta assūmite ut petierātis, et abeuntēs benedīcite mihi.Take your sheep and herds as you had asked, and, going away, bless me." Ex 12:33Urgēbantque Aegyptiī populum dē terrā exīre vēlōciter, dīcentēs: Omnēs moriēmur.And the Egyptians were urging the people to go out of the land quickly, saying: "We shall all die." Ex 12:34Tulit igitur populus cōnspersam farīnam antequam fermentārētur: et ligāns in palliīs, posuit super humerōs suōs.So the people took the flour sprinkled with water before it was leavened: and binding it in their cloaks, put it upon their shoulders. Ex 12:35Fēcēruntque fīliī Isrāël sīcut praecēperat Mōysēs: et petiērunt ab Aegyptiīs vāsa argentea et aurea, vestemque plūrimam.And the sons of Israel did as Moses had commanded: and they asked of the Egyptians vessels of silver and of gold, and very much clothing. Ex 12:36Dominus autem dedit grātiam populō cōram Aegyptiīs ut commodārent eīs: et spoliāvērunt Aegyptiōs.And the Lord gave favour to the people before the Egyptians, so that they lent to them: and they plundered the Egyptians. Ex 12:37Profectīque sunt fīliī Isrāël dē Ramesse in Socoth, sexcenta ferē mīllia peditum virōrum, absque parvulīs.And the sons of Israel set out from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides little ones.

Ex 12:38Sed et vulgus prōmiscuum innumerābile ascendit cum eīs, ovēs et armenta et animantia dīversī generis multa nimis.But also a mixed crowd beyond number went up with them, sheep and herds and living creatures of diverse kind, very many. Ex 12:39Coxēruntque farīnam, quam dūdum dē Aegyptō cōnspersam tulerant: et fēcērunt subcinerīciōs pānēs azymōs: neque enim poterant fermentārī, cōgentibus exīre Aegyptiīs, et nūllam facere sinentibus moram: nec pulmentī quidquam occurrerat praeparāre.And they baked the flour, which they had brought a little before from Egypt sprinkled with water: and they made unleavened loaves baked under the ashes: for they could not be leavened, the Egyptians forcing them to go out, and allowing them to make no delay: nor had it occurred to them to prepare any food. Ex 12:40Habitātiō autem fīliōrum Isrāël quā mānsērunt in Aegyptō, fuit quadringentōrum trīgintā annōrum.Now the dwelling of the sons of Israel, in which they stayed in Egypt, was of four hundred and thirty years. Ex 12:41Quibus explētīs, eādem diē ēgressus est omnis exercitus Dominī dē terrā Aegyptī.These having been completed, on the same day all the army of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.

Ex 12:42Nox ista est observābilis Dominī, quandō ēdūxit eōs dē terrā Aegyptī: hanc observāre dēbent omnēs fīliī Isrāël in generātiōnibus suīs.This is the night to be observed of the Lord, when he led them out of the land of Egypt: this all the sons of Israel ought to observe in their generations. Ex 12:43Dīxitque Dominus ad Moysēn et Aarōn: Haec est religiō Phase: omnis aliēnigena nōn comedet ex eō.And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: "This is the observance of the Phase: no foreigner will eat of it. Ex 12:44Omnis autem servus ēmptītius circumcīdētur, et sīc comedet.But every bought slave will be circumcised, and so he will eat. Ex 12:45Advena et mercēnārius nōn ēdent ex eō.The newcomer and the hired man will not eat of it. Ex 12:46In ūnā domō comedētur, nec efferētis dē carnibus ejus forās, nec ōs illīus cōnfringētis.In one house it will be eaten, nor will you carry any of its flesh outside, nor will you break a bone of it. Ex 12:47Omnis coetus fīliōrum Isrāël faciet illud.All the assembly of the sons of Israel will do it.

Ex 12:48Quod sī quis peregrīnōrum in vestram voluerit trānsīre colōniam, et facere Phase Dominī, circumcīdētur prius omne masculīnum ejus, et tunc rīte celebrābit: eritque sīcut indigena terrae: sī quis autem circumcīsus nōn fuerit, nōn vēscētur ex eō.But if any of the strangers wishes to pass into your settlement, and to make the Phase of the Lord, every male of his will first be circumcised, and then he will duly celebrate it: and he will be as a native of the land: but if anyone has not been circumcised, he will not eat of it. Ex 12:49Eadem lēx erit indigenae et colōnō quī peregrīnātur apud vōs.The same law will be for the native and for the settler who sojourns among you." Ex 12:50Fēcēruntque omnēs fīliī Isrāël sīcut praecēperat Dominus Mōysī et Aarōn.And all the sons of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. Ex 12:51Et eādem diē ēdūxit Dominus fīliōs Isrāël dē terrā Aegyptī per turmās suās.And on the same day the Lord led the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their companies.
