The Book of Numbers, Chapter 31ΑΡΙΘΜΟΙ ΛΑ′

καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

ἐκδίκει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἐκ τῶν Μαδιανιτῶν καὶ ἔσχατον προστεθήσῃ πρὸς τὸν λαόν σου

Avenge the vengeance of the sons of Israel from the Midianites, and afterward you shall be added to your people.

καὶ ἐλάλησεν Μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν λέγων ἐξοπλίσατε ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνδρας παρατάξασθαι ἔναντι κυρίου ἐπὶ Μαδιαν ἀποδοῦναι ἐκδίκησιν παρὰ τοῦ κυρίου τῇ Μαδιαν

And Moses spoke to the people, saying, 'Arm men from among you to set in array before the LORD against Midian, to render vengeance from the LORD upon Midian.'

χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ ἀποστείλατε παρατάξασθαι

A thousand from a tribe, a thousand from a tribe, from all the tribes of Israel, you shall send to set in array.

καὶ ἐξηρίθμησαν ἐκ τῶν χιλιάδων Ισραηλ χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς δώδεκα χιλιάδες ἐνωπλισμένοι εἰς παράταξιν

And they numbered out from the thousands of Israel a thousand from a tribe, twelve thousand armed for battle.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Μωυσῆς χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ Φινεες υἱὸν Ελεαζαρ υἱοῦ Ααρων τοῦ ἱερέως καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες τῶν σημασιῶν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν

And Moses sent them, a thousand from a tribe, a thousand from a tribe, with their host, and Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, and the holy vessels and the trumpets of the signal-blasts in their hands.

καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐπὶ Μαδιαν καθὰ ἐνετείλατο κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ καὶ ἀπέκτειναν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν

And they arrayed themselves against Midian, just as the LORD commanded Moses, and they killed every male.

καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς Μαδιαν ἀπέκτειναν ἅμα τοῖς τραυματίαις αὐτῶν καὶ τὸν Ευιν καὶ τὸν Σουρ καὶ τὸν Ροκομ καὶ τὸν Ουρ καὶ τὸν Ροβοκ πέντε βασιλεῖς Μαδιαν καὶ τὸν Βαλααμ υἱὸν Βεωρ ἀπέκτειναν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ σὺν τοῖς τραυματίαις αὐτῶν

And they killed the kings of Midian along with their slain — Evi and Sur and Rokom and Ur and Robok, five kings of Midian — and Balaam son of Beor they killed with the sword, together with their slain.

καὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν τὰς γυναῖκας Μαδιαν καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔγκτητα αὐτῶν καὶ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῶν ἐπρονόμευσαν

And they took as plunder the women of Midian and their baggage and their livestock and all their possessions, and their substance they plundered.

καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν τὰς ἐν ταῖς οἰκίαις αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς ἐπαύλεις αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησαν ἐν πυρί

And all their cities, those in their dwelling-places, and their encampments they burned with fire.

καὶ ἔλαβον πᾶσαν τὴν προνομὴν καὶ πάντα τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους

And they took all the plunder and all their spoils, from man to beast.

καὶ ἤγαγον πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ πρὸς Ελεαζαρ τὸν ἱερέα καὶ πρὸς πάντας υἱοὺς Ισραηλ τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν καὶ τὰ σκῦλα καὶ τὴν προνομὴν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν εἰς Αραβωθ Μωαβ ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοῦ Ιορδάνου κατὰ Ιεριχω

And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to all the sons of Israel the captivity and the spoils and the plunder, to the camp at Araboth Moab, which is by the Jordan opposite Jericho.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ελεαζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς

And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the congregation went out to meet them outside the camp.

καὶ ὠργίσθη Μωυσῆς ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐπισκόποις τῆς δυνάμεως χιλιάρχοις καὶ ἑκατοντάρχοις τοῖς ἐρχομένοις ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τοῦ πολέμου

And Moses was angry with the overseers of the host, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds who were coming from the battle-line of the war.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς ἵνα τί ἐζωγρήσατε πᾶν θῆλυ

And Moses said to them, 'Why did you spare alive every female?'

αὗται γὰρ ἦσαν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Βαλααμ τοῦ ἀποστῆσαι καὶ ὑπεριδεῖν τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ἕνεκεν Φογωρ καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ πληγὴ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ κυρίου

For these were the ones who, by the word of Balaam, became to the sons of Israel an occasion to revolt and to disregard the word of the LORD on account of Phogor; and the plague came upon the congregation of the LORD.

καὶ νῦν ἀποκτείνατε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἀπαρτίᾳ καὶ πᾶσαν γυναῖκα ἥτις ἔγνωκεν κοίτην ἄρσενος ἀποκτείνατε

And now kill every male among the little ones, and every woman who has known the bed of a male, kill.

πᾶσαν τὴν ἀπαρτίαν τῶν γυναικῶν ἥτις οὐκ οἶδεν κοίτην ἄρσενος ζωγρήσατε αὐτάς

All the body of women who have not known the bed of a male, keep them alive for yourselves.

καὶ ὑμεῖς παρεμβάλετε ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας πᾶς ὁ ἀνελὼν καὶ ὁ ἁπτόμενος τοῦ τετρωμένου ἁγνισθήσεται τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ὑμεῖς καὶ ἡ αἰχμαλωσία ὑμῶν

And as for you, encamp outside the camp seven days; everyone who has killed and everyone who has touched the slain shall purify himself on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.

καὶ πᾶν περίβλημα καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος δερμάτινον καὶ πᾶσαν ἐργασίαν ἐξ αἰγείας καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ξύλινον ἀφαγνιεῖτε

And every garment and every vessel of leather and every work of goats' hair and every wooden vessel you shall purge.

καὶ εἶπεν Ελεαζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς δυνάμεως τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τοῦ πολέμου τοῦτο τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου ὃ συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ

And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host who were coming from the battle-line of the war, 'This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses:'

πλὴν τοῦ χρυσίου καὶ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου καὶ μολίβου καὶ κασσιτέρου

Only the gold and the silver, and bronze and iron and lead and tin —

πᾶν πρᾶγμα ὃ διελεύσεται ἐν πυρί καὶ καθαρισθήσεται ἀλλ᾿ ἢ τῷ ὕδατι τοῦ ἁγνισμοῦ ἁγνισθήσεται καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν μὴ διαπορεύηται διὰ πυρός διελεύσεται δι᾿ ὕδατος

every thing that can pass through fire — it shall also be cleansed, but only with the water of purification shall it be purified; and everything that cannot pass through fire shall pass through water.

καὶ πλυνεῖσθε τὰ ἱμάτια τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ καὶ καθαρισθήσεσθε καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν

And you shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and you shall be clean, and after these things you shall enter into the camp.

καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

λαβὲ τὸ κεφάλαιον τῶν σκύλων τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους σὺ καὶ Ελεαζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν τῆς συναγωγῆς

Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity, from man to beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the ancestral houses of the congregation,

καὶ διελεῖτε τὰ σκῦλα ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν πολεμιστῶν τῶν ἐκπορευομένων εἰς τὴν παράταξιν καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον πάσης συναγωγῆς

and you shall divide the spoils between the warriors who went out to the battle-line and all the congregation.

καὶ ἀφελεῖτε τέλος κυρίῳ παρὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν πολεμιστῶν τῶν ἐκπεπορευμένων εἰς τὴν παράταξιν μίαν ψυχὴν ἀπὸ πεντακοσίων ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν αἰγῶν

And you shall set apart a tribute for the LORD from the warriors who went out to the battle-line: one soul out of five hundred, from the people and from the livestock and from the oxen and from the sheep and from the goats.

καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους αὐτῶν λήμψεσθε καὶ δώσεις Ελεαζαρ τῷ ἱερεῖ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς κυρίου

From their half you shall take it, and you shall give to Eleazar the priest the firstfruits of the LORD.

καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους τοῦ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ λήμψῃ ἕνα ἀπὸ τῶν πεντήκοντα ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν βοῶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ὄνων καὶ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ δώσεις αὐτὰ τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς φυλάσσουσιν τὰς φυλακὰς ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ κυρίου

And from the half belonging to the sons of Israel you shall take one out of fifty, from the people and from the oxen and from the sheep and from the donkeys and from all the livestock, and you shall give them to the Levites who keep the charges in the tent of the LORD.

καὶ ἐποίησεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ελεαζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καθὰ συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ

And Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as the LORD commanded Moses.

καὶ ἐγενήθη τὸ πλεόνασμα τῆς προνομῆς ὃ ἐπρονόμευσαν οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταί ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων ἑξακόσιαι χιλιάδες καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες

And the remainder of the plunder which the men of war had plundered was, of the sheep, six hundred thousand and seventy-five thousand;

καὶ βόες δύο καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες

and oxen, seventy-two thousand;

καὶ ὄνοι μία καὶ ἑξήκοντα χιλιάδες

and donkeys, sixty-one thousand;

καὶ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων ἀπὸ τῶν γυναικῶν αἳ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν κοίτην ἀνδρός πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ δύο καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες

and human souls, of the women who had not known the bed of a man, all the souls: thirty-two thousand.

καὶ ἐγενήθη τὸ ἡμίσευμα ἡ μερὶς τῶν ἐκπεπορευμένων εἰς τὸν πόλεμον ἐκ τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τῶν προβάτων τριακόσιαι καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια καὶ πεντακόσια

And the half — the portion of those who had gone out to the war — was, out of the number of the sheep, three hundred and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred;

καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ τέλος κυρίῳ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων ἑξακόσια ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε

and the tribute for the LORD from the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.

καὶ βόες ἓξ καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ τὸ τέλος κυρίῳ δύο καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα

And the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute for the LORD was seventy-two.

καὶ ὄνοι τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ πεντακόσιοι καὶ τὸ τέλος κυρίῳ εἷς καὶ ἑξήκοντα

And the donkeys were thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute for the LORD was sixty-one.

καὶ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων ἑκκαίδεκα χιλιάδες καὶ τὸ τέλος αὐτῶν κυρίῳ δύο καὶ τριάκοντα ψυχαί

And the human souls were sixteen thousand, and their tribute for the LORD was thirty-two souls.

καὶ ἔδωκεν Μωυσῆς τὸ τέλος κυρίῳ τὸ ἀφαίρεμα τοῦ θεοῦ Ελεαζαρ τῷ ἱερεῖ καθὰ συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ

And Moses gave the tribute for the LORD, the contribution of God, to Eleazar the priest, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμισεύματος τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ οὓς διεῖλεν Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν

From the half belonging to the sons of Israel, which Moses divided off from the men of war —

καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ ἡμίσευμα τὸ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια καὶ πεντακόσια

And the half belonging to the congregation was, of the sheep, three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred;

καὶ βόες ἓξ καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες

and oxen, thirty-six thousand;

ὄνοι τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ πεντακόσιοι

donkeys, thirty thousand and five hundred;

καὶ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων ἓξ καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες

and human souls, sixteen thousand.

καὶ ἔλαβεν Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμισεύματος τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ τὸ ἓν ἀπὸ τῶν πεντήκοντα ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς φυλάσσουσιν τὰς φυλακὰς τῆς σκηνῆς κυρίου ὃν τρόπον συνέταξεν κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ

And Moses took from the half belonging to the sons of Israel the one out of fifty, from the people and from the livestock, and gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tent of the LORD, in the manner the LORD commanded Moses.

καὶ προσῆλθον πρὸς Μωυσῆν πάντες οἱ καθεσταμένοι εἰς τὰς χιλιαρχίας τῆς δυνάμεως χιλίαρχοι καὶ ἑκατόνταρχοι

And there approached Moses all those appointed over the thousands of the host, commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.

καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Μωυσῆν οἱ παῖδές σου εἰλήφασιν τὸ κεφάλαιον τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν τῶν παρ᾿ ἡμῶν καὶ οὐ διαπεφώνηκεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν οὐδὲ εἷς

And they said to Moses, 'Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our command, and not one of them is missing.'

καὶ προσενηνόχαμεν τὸ δῶρον κυρίῳ ἀνὴρ ὃ εὗρεν σκεῦος χρυσοῦν χλιδῶνα καὶ ψέλιον καὶ δακτύλιον καὶ περιδέξιον καὶ ἐμπλόκιον ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ ἡμῶν ἔναντι κυρίου

And we have brought a gift to the LORD — each man what he found, a golden article, an armlet and a bracelet and a ring and a wristband and a hair-clasp — to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.

καὶ ἔλαβεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ελεαζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ χρυσίον παρ᾿ αὐτῶν πᾶν σκεῦος εἰργασμένον

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, every wrought article.

καὶ ἐγένετο πᾶν τὸ χρυσίον τὸ ἀφαίρεμα ὃ ἀφεῖλον κυρίῳ ἓξ καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακόσιοι καὶ πεντήκοντα σίκλοι παρὰ τῶν χιλιάρχων καὶ παρὰ τῶν ἑκατοντάρχων

And all the gold, the contribution which they set apart for the LORD, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the commanders of thousands and from the commanders of hundreds.

καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν ἕκαστος ἑαυτῷ

And the men of war had plundered, each man for himself.

καὶ ἔλαβεν Μωυσῆς καὶ Ελεαζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ χρυσίον παρὰ τῶν χιλιάρχων καὶ παρὰ τῶν ἑκατοντάρχων καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου μνημόσυνον τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ ἔναντι κυρίου

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of thousands and from the commanders of hundreds and brought it into the tent of meeting, a memorial of the sons of Israel before the LORD.
