Deuteronomii, chapter 16, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 16 Vulgate

   1 Observa mensem Abib, ut facias Pascha Domino Deo tuo; quoniam in isto mense Abib eduxit te Dominus Deus tuus de Aegypto nocte.
   2 Immolabisque Pascha Domino Deo tuo de ovibus et de bobus in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, ut habitet nomen eius ibi.
   3 Non comedes cum eo panem fermentatum; septem diebus comedes absque fermento afflictionis panem, quoniam festinanter egressus es de Aegypto, ut memineris diei egressionis tuae de Aegypto omnibus diebus vitae tuae.
   4 Non apparebit fermentum in omnibus terminis tuis septem diebus; et non manebit de carnibus eius, quod immolatum est vespere in die primo, usque mane.
   5 Non poteris immolare Pascha in qualibet urbium tuarum, quas Dominus Deus tuus daturus est tibi,
   6 sed in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, ut habitet nomen eius ibi, immolabis Pascha vespere ad solis occasum, quando egressus es de Aegypto.
   7 Et coques et comedes in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, maneque consurgens vades in tabernacula tua.
   8 Sex diebus comedes azyma et in die septimo, quia collecta est Domino Deo tuo, non facies opus.
   9 Septem hebdomadas numerabis tibi ab ea die, qua falcem in segetem miseris,
   10 et celebrabis diem festum Hebdomadarum Domino Deo tuo, oblationem spontaneam manus tuae, quam offeres iuxta benedictionem Domini Dei tui.
   11 Et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo tu, filius tuus et filia tua, servus tuus et ancilla tua et Levites, qui est intra portas tuas, advena ac pupillus et vidua, qui morantur tecum in loco, quem elegerit Dominus Deus tuus, ut habitet nomen eius ibi;
   12 et recordaberis quoniam servus fueris in Aegypto custodiesque ac facies, quae praecepta sunt.
   13 Sollemnitatem quoque Tabernaculorum celebrabis per septem dies, quando collegeris de area et torculari fruges tuas;
   14 et epulaberis in festivitate tua tu, filius tuus et filia, servus tuus et ancilla, Levites quoque et advena, pupillus ac vidua, qui intra portas tuas sunt.
   15 Septem diebus Domino Deo tuo festa celebrabis in loco, quem elegerit Dominus, quia benedicet tibi Dominus Deus tuus in cunctis frugibus tuis et in omni opere manuum tuarum, erisque totus in laetitia.
   16 Tribus vicibus per annum apparebit omne masculinum tuum in conspectu Domini Dei tui in loco, quem elegerit: in sollemnitate Azymorum et in sollemnitate Hebdomadarum et in sollemnitate Tabernaculorum. Non apparebit ante Dominum vacuus,
   17 sed offeret unusquisque secundum quod habuerit, iuxta benedictionem Domini Dei tui, quam dederit tibi.
   18 Iudices et praefectos operum constitues in omnibus portis tuis, quas Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi per singulas tribus tuas, ut iudicent populum iusto iudicio.
   19 Non declinabis iudicium. Non accipies personam nec munera, quia munera excaecant oculos sapientum et mutant causas iustorum.
   20 Iustitiam, iustitiam persequeris, ut vivas et possideas terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dederit tibi.
   21 Non plantabis tibi palum, omnem arborem iuxta altare Domini Dei tui, quod feceris tibi.
   22 Neque constitues lapidem, quem odit Dominus Deus tuus.

King James Version

   1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
   2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
   3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
   4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
   5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
   6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
   7 And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
   8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
   9 ¶ Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
   10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
   11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
   12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
   13 ¶ Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
   14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
   15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
   16 ¶ Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
   17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
   18 ¶ Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
   19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
   20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
   21 ¶ Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
   22 Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.
