1Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2Ulciscere prius filios Israël de Madianitis, et sic colligeris ad populum tuum.
2“Avenge the children of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”
3Statimque Moyses: Armate, inquit, ex vobis viros ad pugnam, qui possint ultionem Domini expetere de Madianitis.
3Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD’s vengeance on Midian.
4Mille viri de singulis tribubus eligantur ex Israël qui mittantur ad bellum.
4You shall send one thousand out of every tribe, throughout all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
5Dederuntque millenos de singulis tribubus, id est, duodecim millia expeditorum ad pugnam:
5So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6quos misit Moyses cum Phinees filio Eleazari sacerdotis, vasa quoque sancta, et tubas ad clangendum tradidit ei.
6Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
7Cumque pugnassent contra Madianitas atque vicissent, omnes mares occiderunt,
7They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses. They killed every male.
8et reges eorum, Evi, et Recem, et Sur, et Hur, et Rebe, quinque principes gentis: Balaam quoque filium Beor interfecerunt gladio.
8They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
9Ceperuntque mulieres eorum, et parvulos, omniaque pecora, et cunctam supellectilem: quidquid habere potuerant depopulati sunt:
9The children of Israel took the women of Midian captive with their little ones; and all their livestock, all their flocks, and all their goods, they took as plunder.
10tam urbes quam viculos et castella flamma consumpsit.
10All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burned with fire.
11Et tulerunt prædam, et universa quæ ceperant tam ex hominibus quam ex jumentis,
11They took all the captives, and all the plunder, both of man and of animal.
12et adduxerunt ad Moysen, et Eleazarum sacerdotem, et ad omnem multitudinem filiorum Israël: reliqua autem utensilia portaverunt ad castra in campestribus Moab juxta Jordanem contra Jericho.
12They brought the captives with the prey and the plunder, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
13Egressi sunt autem Moyses et Eleazar sacerdos, et omnes principes synagogæ, in occursum eorum extra castra.
13Moses and Eleazar the priest, with all the princes of the congregation, went out to meet them outside of the camp.
14Iratusque Moyses principibus exercitus, tribunis, et centurionibus qui venerant de bello,
14Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
15ait: Cur feminas reservastis?
15Moses said to them, “Have you saved all the women alive?
16nonne istæ sunt, quæ deceperunt filios Israël ad suggestionem Balaam, et prævaricari vos fecerunt in Domino super peccato Phogor, unde et percussus est populus?
16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD.
17ergo cunctos interficite quidquid est generis masculinis, etiam in parvulis: et mulieres, quæ noverunt viros in coitu, jugulate:
17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
18puellas autem et omnes feminas virgines reservate vobis:
18But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19et manete extra castra septem diebus. Qui occiderit hominem, vel occisum tetigerit, lustrabitur die tertio et septimo.
19“Encamp outside of the camp for seven days. Whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
20Et de omni præda, sive vestimentum fuerit, sive vas, et aliquid in utensilia præparatum, de caprarum pellibus, et pilis, et ligno, expiabitur.
20You shall purify every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.”
21Eleazar quoque sacerdos ad viros exercitus, qui pugnaverunt, sic locutus est: Hoc est præceptum legis, quod mandavit Dominus Moysi:
21Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses.
22aurum, et argentum, et æs, et ferrum, et plumbum, et stannum,
22However the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23et omne, quod potest transire per flammas, igne purgabitur: quidquid autem ignem non potest sustinere, aqua expiationis sanctificabitur:
23everything that may withstand the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity. All that doesn’t withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water.
24et lavabitis vestimenta vestra die septimo, et purificati postea castra intrabitis.
24You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. Afterward you shall come into the camp.”
25Dixit quoque Dominus ad Moysen:
25The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
26Tollite summam eorum quæ capta sunt, ab homine usque ad pecus, tu et Eleazar sacerdos et principes vulgi:
26“Count the plunder that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation;
27dividesque ex æquo prædam inter eos qui pugnaverunt egressique sunt ad bellum, et inter omnem reliquam multitudinem.
27and divide the plunder into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
28Et separabis partem Domino ab his qui pugnaverunt et fuerunt in bello, unam animam de quingentis, tam ex hominibus quam ex bobus et asinis et ovibus,
28Levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks.
29et dabis eam Eleazaro sacerdoti, quia primitiæ Domini sunt.
29Take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for the LORD’s wave offering.
30Ex media quoque parte filiorum Israël accipies quinquagesimum caput hominum, et boum, et asinorum, et ovium, cunctorum animantium, et dabis ea Levitis, qui excubant in custodiis tabernaculi Domini.
30Of the children of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of the LORD’s tabernacle.”
31Feceruntque Moyses et Eleazar sicut præceperat Dominus.
31Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32Fuit autem præda, quam exercitus ceperat, ovium sexcenta septuaginta quinque millia,
32Now the plunder, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33boum septuaginta duo millia,
33seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
34asinorum sexaginta millia et mille:
34sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35animæ hominum sexus feminei, quæ non cognoverant viros, triginta duo millia.
35and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
36Dataque est media pars his qui in prælio fuerant, ovium trecenta triginta septem millia quingentæ:
36The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep;
37e quibus in partem Domini supputatæ sunt oves sexcentæ septuaginta quinque:
37and the LORD’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
38et de bobus triginta sex millibus, boves septuaginta et duo:
38The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which the LORD’s tribute was seventy-two.
39de asinis triginta millibus quingentis, asini sexaginta unus:
39The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the LORD’s tribute was sixty-one.
40de animabus hominum sedecim millibus, cesserunt in partem Domini triginta duæ animæ.
40The persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD’s tribute was thirty-two persons.
41Tradiditque Moyses numerum primitiarum Domini Eleazaro sacerdoti, sicut fuerat ei imperatum,
41Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’s wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42ex media parte filiorum Israël, quam separaverat his qui in prælio fuerant.
42Of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men who fought
43De media vero parte, quæ contigerat reliquæ multitudini, id est, de ovibus trecentis triginta septem millibus quingentis,
43(now the congregation’s half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44et de bobus triginta sex millibus,
44thirty-six thousand head of cattle,
45et de asinis triginta millibus quingentis,
45thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46et de hominibus sedecim millibus,
46and sixteen thousand persons),
47tulit Moyses quinquagesimum caput, et dedit Levitis, qui excubabant in tabernaculo Domini, sicut præceperat Dominus.
47even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who performed the duty of the LORD’s tabernacle, as the LORD commanded Moses.
48Cumque accessissent principes exercitus ad Moysen, et tribuni, centurionesque, dixerunt:
48The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses.
49Nos servi tui recensuimus numerum pugnatorum, quos habuimus sub manu nostra: et ne unus quidem defuit.
49They said to Moses, “Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our command, and there lacks not one man of us.
50Ob hanc causam offerimus in donariis Domini singuli quod in præda auri potuimus invenire, periscelides et armillas, annulos et dextralia, ac murænulas, ut depreceris pro nobis Dominum.
50We have brought the LORD’s offering, what every man found: gold ornaments, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.”
51Susceperuntque Moyses et Eleazar sacerdos omne aurum in diversis speciebus,
51Moses and Eleazar the priest took their gold, even all worked jewels.
52pondo sedecim millia septingentos quinquaginta siclos, a tribunis et centurionibus.
52All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.
53Unusquisque enim quod in præda rapuerat, suum erat.
53The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.
54Et susceptum intulerunt in tabernaculum testimonii, in monimentum filiorum Israël coram Domino.
54Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
