Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And the LORD said to Moses,
1Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,
2“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
2ἐκδίκει τὴν ἐκδίκησιν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ τῶν Μαδιανιτῶν, καὶ ἔσχατον προστεθήσῃ πρὸς τὸν λαόν σου.
3So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.
3Καὶ ἐλάλησε Μωυσῆς πρὸς τὸν λαὸν, λέγων, ἐξοπλίσατε ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνδρας, καὶ παρατάξασθε ἔναντι Κυρίου ἐπὶ Μαδιὰν, ἀποδοῦναι ἐκδίκησιν παρὰ τοῦ Κυρίου τῇ Μαδιάν.
4Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”
4Χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς, χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς, ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ἀποστείλατε παρατάξασθαι.
5So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.
5Καὶ ἐξηρίθμησαν ἐκ τῶν χιλιάδων Ἰσραὴλ χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς, δώδεκα χιλιάδας ἐνωπλισμένοι εἰς παράταξιν.
6And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
6Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτοὺς Μωυσῆς χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς, χιλίους ἐκ φυλῆς σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν, καὶ Φινεὲς υἱὸν Ἐλεάζαρ υἱοῦ Ἀαρὼν τοῦ ἱερέως· καὶ τὰ σκεύη τὰ ἅγια, καὶ αἱ σάλπιγγες τῶν σημασιῶν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν.
7Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
7Καὶ παρετάξαντο ἐπὶ Μαδιὰν, καθὰ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος Μωυσῇ· καὶ ἀπέκτειναν πᾶν ἀρσενικόν.
8Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
8Καὶ τοὺς βασιλεῖς Μαδιὰν ἀπέκτειναν ἅμα τοῖς τραυματίαις αὐτῶν· καὶ τὸν Εὐὶν, καὶ τὸν Ῥοκὸν, καὶ τὸν Σοὺρ, καὶ τὸν Οὒρ, καὶ τὸν Ῥοβὸκ, πέντε βασιλεῖς Μαδιάν· καὶ τὸν Βαλαὰμ υἱὸν Βεὼρ ἀπέκτειναν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ σὺν τοῖς τραυματίαις αὐτῶν·
9The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.
9Καὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν τὰς γυναῖκας Μαδιὰν, καὶ τὴν ἀποσκευὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔγκτητα αὐτῶν· καὶ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῶν ἐπρονόμευσαν·
10Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,
10Καὶ πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν τὰς ἐν ταῖς κατοικίαις αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰς ἐπαύλεις αὐτῶν ἐνέπρησαν ἐν πυρί.
11and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.
11Καὶ ἔλαβον πᾶσαν τὴν προνομὴν αὐτῶν, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκῦλα αὐτῶν ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους.
12They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
12Καὶ ἤγαγον πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ πρὸς Ἐλεάζαρ τὸν ἱερέα, καὶ πρὸς πάντας υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ, τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν, καὶ τὰ σκύλα, καὶ τὴν προνομὴν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν εἰς Ἀραβὼθ Μωὰβ, ἥ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου κατὰ Ἰεριχώ.
13And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
13Καὶ ἐξῆλθε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες τῆς συναγωγῆς εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
14But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.
14Καὶ ὠργίσθη Μωυσῆς ἐπὶ τοῖς ἐπισκόποις τῆς δυνάμεως, χιλιάρχοις καὶ ἑκατοντάρχοις τοῖς ἐρχομένοις ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τοῦ πολέμου.
15“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.
15Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Μωυσῆς, ἱνατί ἐζωγρήσατε πᾶν θῆλυ;
16“Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.
16Αὗται γὰρ ἦσαν τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Βαλαὰμ τοῦ ἀποστῆσαι καὶ ὑπεριδεῖν τὸ ῥῆμα Κυρίου, ἕνεκεν Φογώρ· καὶ ἐγένετο ἡ πληγὴ ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ Κυρίου.
17So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,
17Καὶ νῦν ἀποκτείνατε πᾶν ἀρσενικὸν ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἀπαρτίᾳ, πᾶσαν γυναῖκα, ἥτις ἔγυω κοίτην ἄρσενος, ἀποκτείνατε.
18but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
18Καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν ἀπαρτίαν τῶν γυναικῶν, ἥτις οὐκ οἶδε κοίτην ἄρσενος, ζωγρήσατε αὐτάς.
19All of you who have killed a person or touched the dead are to remain outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and the seventh day you are to purify both yourselves and your captives.
19Καὶ ὑμεῖς παρεμβάλετε ἔξω τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἐπτὰ ἡμέρας· πᾶς ὁ ἀνελὼν καὶ ὁ ἁπτόμενος τοῦ τετρωμένου ἁγνισθήσεται τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ὑμεῖς καὶ ἡ αἰχμαλωσία ὑμῶν.
20And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”
20Καὶ πᾶν περίβλημα καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος δερμάτινον, καὶ πᾶσαν ἐργασίαν ἐξ αἰγείας, καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ξύλινον ἀφαγνιεῖτε.
21Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:
21Καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς πρὸς τοὺς ἄνδρας τῆς δυνάμεως τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἐκ τῆς παρατάξεως τοῦ πολέμου, τοῦτο τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου ὃ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
22Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
22Πλὴν τοῦ χρυσίου καὶ τοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ χαλκοῦ καὶ σιδήρου καὶ μολίβου καὶ κασσιτέρου,
23everything that can withstand the fire—must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.
23πᾶν πρᾶγμα ὃ διελεύσεται ἐν πυρὶ, καὶ καθαρισθήσεται, ἀλλʼ ἢ τῷ ὕδατι τοῦ ἁγνισμοῦ ἁγνισθήσεται· καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐὰν μὴ διαπορεύηται διὰ πυρὸς, διελεύσεται διʼ ὕδατος.
24On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”
24Καὶ πλυνεῖσθε τὰ ἱμάτια τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ, καὶ καθαρισθήσεσθε· καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα εἰσελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν.
25The LORD said to Moses,
25Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων,
26“You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count of what was captured, both of man and beast.
26λάβε τὸ κεφάλαιον τῶν σκύλων τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας ἀπὸ ἀνθρώπου ἕως κτήνους σὺ καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν πατριῶν τῆς συναγωγῆς.
27Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to battle and the rest of the congregation.
27Καὶ διελεῖτε τὰ σκῦλα ἀναμέσον τῶν πολεμιστῶν τῶν ἐκπεπορευμένων εἰς τὴν παράταξιν, καὶ ἀναμέσον πάσης συναγωγῆς.
28Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers who went into battle: one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.
28Καὶ 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 ὄνων·
29Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
29καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους αὐτῶν λήψεσθε. Καὶ δώσεις Ἐλεάζαρ τῷ ἱερεῖ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς Κυρίου.
30From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”
30Καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμίσους τοῦ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ λήψῃ ἕνα ἀπὸ 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 φυλάσσουσι τὰς φυλακὰς ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ Κυρίου.
31So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,
31Καὶ ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
32and this plunder remained from the spoils the soldiers had taken: 675,000 sheep,
32Καὶ ἐγενήθη τὸ πλεόνασμα τῆς προνομῆς ὁ προενόμευσαν οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ, ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων, ἑξακόσιαι χιλιάδες καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα καὶ πέντε χιλιάδες·
3372,000 cattle,
33Καὶ βόες, δύο καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδες·
3461,000 donkeys,
34Καὶ ὄνοι, μία καὶ ἑξήκοντα χιλιάδες·
35and 32,000 women who had not slept with a man.
35Καὶ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων ἀπὸ τῶν γυναικῶν αἳ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν κοίτην ἀνδρὸς, πᾶσαι ψυχαὶ, δύο καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες.
36This was the half portion for those who had gone to war: 337,500 sheep,
36Καὶ ἐγενήθη τὸ ἡμίσευμα ἡ μερὶς τῶν ἐκπεπορευμένων εἰς τὸν πόλεμον ἐκ τοῦ ἀριθμοῦ τῶν προβάτων, τριακόσιαι καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια καὶ πεντακόσια.
37including a tribute to the LORD of 675,
37Καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ τέλος Κυρίῳ ἀπὸ τῶν προβάτων, ἑξακόσιαι ἑβδομήκοντα πέντε·
3836,000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,
38Καὶ βόες, ἓξ καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες, καὶ τὸ τέλος Κυρίῳ, δύο καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα·
3930,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,
39Καὶ ὄνοι, τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ πεντακόσιοι, καὶ τὸ τέλος Κυρίῳ, εἷς καὶ ἑξήκοντα·
40and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.
40Καὶ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων, ἑκκαίδεκα χιλιάδες, καὶ τὸ τέλος αὐτῶν Κυρίῳ, δύο καὶ τριάκοντα ψυχαί.
41Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
41Καὶ ἔδωκε Μωυσῆς τὸ τέλος Κυρίῳ τὸ ἀφαίρεμα τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἐλεάζαρ τῷ ἱερεῖ, καθὰ συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ·
42From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,
42ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμισεύματος τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, οὓς διεῖλε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν.
43this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,
43Καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ ἡμίσευμα ἀπὸ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἀπὸ τῶν προβάων, τριακόσιαι καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακισχίλια καὶ πεντακόσια·
4436,000 cattle,
44Καὶ βόες, ἓξ καὶ τριάκοντα χιλιάδες·
4530,500 donkeys,
45Ὄνοι, τριάκοντα χιλιάδες καὶ πεντακόσιοι·
46and 16,000 people.
46Καὶ ψυχαὶ ἀνθρώπων, ἓξ καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες.
47From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.
47Καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἡμισεύματος τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ τὸ ἓν ἀπὸ τῶν πεντήκοντα, ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ τοῖς Λευίταις τοῖς φυλάσσουσι τὰς φυλακὰς τῆς σκηνῆς Κυρίου, ὃν τρόπον συνέταξε Κύριος τῷ Μωυσῇ.
48Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses
48Καὶ προσῆλθον πρὸς Μωυσῆν πάντες οἱ καθεσταμένοι εἰς τὰς χιλιαρχίας τῆς δυνάμεως, χιλίαρχοι καὶ ἑκατόνταρχοι,
49and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.
49καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Μωυσῆν, Οἱ παῖδές σου εἰλήφασι τὸ κεφάλαιον τῶν ἀνδρῶν τῶν πολεμιστῶν τῶν παρʼ ἡμῖν, καὶ οὐ διαπεφώνηκεν ἀπʼ αὐτῶν οὐδὲ εἷς.
50So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”
50Καὶ προσενηνόχαμεν τὸ δῶρον Κυρίῳ, ἀνὴρ ὃ εὗρε σκεῦος χρυσοῦν καὶ χλιδῶνα καὶ ψέλλιον καὶ δακτύλιον καὶ περιδέξιον καὶ ἐμπλοκιον, ἐξιλάσασθαι περὶ ἡμῶν ἔναντι Κυρίου.
51So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
51Καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ χρυσίον παρʼ αὐτῶν πᾶν σκεῦος εἰργασμένον.
52All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.
52Καὶ ἐγένετο πᾶν τὸ χρυσίον τὸ ἀφαίρεμα ὃ ἀφεῖλον Κυρίῳ, ἑκκίδεκα χιλιάδες καὶ ἑπτακόσιοι καὶ πεντήκοντα σίκλοι παρὰ τῶν χιλιάρχων καὶ παρὰ τῶν ἑκατοντάρχων.
53Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.
53Καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν ἕκαστος ἑαυτῷ.
54And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.
54Καὶ ἔλαβε Μωυσῆς καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ ὁ ἱερεὺς τὸ χρυσίον παρὰ τῶν χιλιάρχων καὶ παρὰ τῶν ἑκατοντάρχων, καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν αὐτὰ εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, μνημόσυνον τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἔναντι Κυρίου.
