Revised Standard Version RSV
The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 The LORD said to Moses,
1
locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens
2 "Avenge the people of Israel on the Mid'ianites; afterward you shall be gathered to your people."
2
ulciscere prius filios Israhel de Madianitis et sic colligeris ad populum tuum
3 And Moses said to the people, "Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Mid'ian, to execute the LORD's vengeance on Mid'ian.
3
statimque Moses armate inquit ex vobis viros ad pugnam qui possint ultionem Domini expetere de Madianitis
4 You shall send a thousand from each of the tribes of Israel to the war."
4
mille viri de singulis tribubus eligantur Israhel qui mittantur ad bellum
5 So there were provided, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
5
dederuntque millenos de cunctis tribubus id est duodecim milia expeditorum ad pugnam
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe, together with Phin'ehas the son of Elea'zar the priest, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
6
quos misit Moses cum Finees filio Eleazari sacerdotis vasa quoque sancta et tubas ad clangendum tradidit ei
7 They warred against Mid'ian, as the LORD commanded Moses, and slew every male.
7
cumque pugnassent contra Madianitas atque vicissent omnes mares occiderunt
8 They slew the kings of Mid'ian with the rest of their slain, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Mid'ian; and they also slew Balaam the son of Be'or with the sword.
8
et reges eorum Evi et Recem et Sur et Ur et Rebe quinque principes gentis Balaam quoque filium Beor interfecerunt gladio
9 And the people of Israel took captive the women of Mid'ian and their little ones; and they took as booty all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods.
9
ceperuntque mulieres eorum et parvulos omniaque pecora et cunctam supellectilem quicquid habere potuerant depopulati sunt
10 All their cities in the places where they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burned with fire,
10
tam urbes quam viculos et castella flamma consumpsit
11 and took all the spoil and all the booty, both of man and of beast.
11
et tulerunt praedam et universa quae ceperant tam ex hominibus quam ex iumentis
12 Then they brought the captives and the booty and the spoil to Moses, and to Elea'zar the priest, and to the congregation of the people of Israel, at the camp on the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
12
et adduxerunt ad Mosen et Eleazarum sacerdotem et ad omnem multitudinem filiorum Israhel reliqua etiam utensilia portaverunt ad castra in campestribus Moab iuxta Iordanem contra Hiericho
13 Moses, and Elea'zar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside the camp.
13
egressi sunt autem Moses et Eleazar sacerdos et omnes principes synagogae in occursum eorum extra castra
14 And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, who had come from service in the war.
14
iratusque Moses principibus exercitus tribunis et centurionibus qui venerant de bello
15 Moses said to them, "Have you let all the women live?
15
ait cur feminas reservastis
16 Behold, these caused the people of Israel, by the counsel of Balaam, to act treacherously against the LORD in the matter of Pe'or, and so the plague came among the congregation of the LORD.
16
nonne istae sunt quae deceperunt filios Israhel ad suggestionem Balaam et praevaricari vos fecerunt in Domino super peccato Phogor unde et percussus est populus
17 Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
17
ergo cunctos interficite quicquid est generis masculini etiam in parvulis et mulieres quae noverunt viros in coitu iugulate
18 But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
18
puellas autem et omnes feminas virgines reservate vobis
19 Encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever of you has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves and your captives on the third day and on the seventh day.
19
et manete extra castra septem diebus qui occiderit hominem vel occisum tetigerit lustrabitur die tertio et septimo
20 You shall purify every garment, every article of skin, all work of goats' hair, and every article of wood."
20
et de omni praeda sive vestimentum fuerit sive vas et aliquid in utensilia praeparatum de caprarum pellibus et pilis et ligno expiabitur
21 And Elea'zar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to battle: "This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:
21
Eleazar quoque sacerdos ad viros exercitus qui pugnaverant sic locutus est hoc est praeceptum legis quod mandavit Dominus Mosi
22 only the gold, the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
22
aurum et argentum et aes et ferrum et stagnum et plumbum
23 everything that can stand the fire, you shall pass through the fire, and it shall be clean. Nevertheless it shall also be purified with the water of impurity; and whatever cannot stand the fire, you shall pass through the water.
23
et omne quod potest transire per flammas igne purgabitur quicquid autem ignem non potest sustinere aqua expiationis sanctificabitur
24 You must wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp."
24
et lavabitis vestimenta vestra die septimo et purificati postea castra intrabitis
25 The LORD said to Moses,
25
dixitque Dominus ad Mosen
26 "Take the count of the booty that was taken, both of man and of beast, you and Elea'zar the priest and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation;
26
tollite summam eorum quae capta sunt ab homine usque ad pecus tu et Eleazar sacerdos et principes vulgi
27 and divide the booty into two parts, between the warriors who went out to battle and all the congregation.
27
dividesque ex aequo praedam inter eos qui pugnaverunt et egressi sunt ad bellum et inter omnem reliquam multitudinem
28 And levy for the LORD a tribute from the men of war who went out to battle, one out of five hundred, of the persons and of the oxen and of the asses and of the flocks;
28
et separabis partem Domino ab his qui pugnaverunt et fuerunt in bello unam animam de quingentis tam ex hominibus quam ex bubus et asinis et ovibus
29 take it from their half, and give it to Elea'zar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
29
et dabis eam Eleazaro sacerdoti quia primitiae Domini sunt
30 And from the people of Israel's half you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all the cattle, and give them to the Levites who have charge of the tabernacle of the LORD."
30
ex media quoque parte filiorum Israhel accipies quinquagesimum caput hominum et boum et asinorum et ovium cunctarumque animantium et dabis ea Levitis qui excubant in custodiis tabernaculi Domini
31 And Moses and Elea'zar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
31
feceruntque Moses et Eleazar sicut praeceperat Dominus
32 Now the booty remaining of the spoil that the men of war took was: six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
32
fuit autem praeda quam exercitus ceperat ovium sescenta septuaginta quinque milia
33 seventy-two thousand cattle,
33
boum septuaginta duo milia
34 sixty-one thousand asses,
34
asinorum sexaginta milia et mille
35 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, women who had not known man by lying with him.
35
animae hominum sexus feminei quae non cognoverant viros triginta duo milia
36 And the half, the portion of those who had gone out to war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
36
dataque est media pars his qui in proelio fuerant ovium trecenta triginta septem milia quingenta
37 and the LORD's tribute of sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
37
e quibus in partem Domini supputatae sunt oves sescentae septuaginta quinque
38 The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which the LORD's tribute was seventy-two.
38
et de bubus triginta sex milibus boves septuaginta duo
39 The asses were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the LORD's tribute was sixty-one.
39
de asinis triginta milibus quingentis asini sexaginta unus
40 The persons were sixteen thousand, of which the LORD's tribute was thirty-two persons.
40
de animabus hominum sedecim milibus cesserunt in partem Domini triginta duae animae
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the offering for the LORD, to Elea'zar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
41
tradiditque Moses numerum primitiarum Domini Eleazaro sacerdoti sicut ei fuerat imperatum
42 From the people of Israel's half, which Moses separated from that of the men who had gone to war--
42
ex media parte filiorum Israhel quam separaverat his qui in proelio fuerant
43 now the congregation's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
43
de media vero parte quae contigerat reliquae multitudini id est de ovium trecentis triginta septem milibus quingentis
44 thirty-six thousand cattle,
44
et de bubus triginta sex milibus
45 and thirty thousand five hundred asses,
45
et de asinis triginta milibus quingentis
46 and sixteen thousand persons--
46
et de hominibus sedecim milibus
47 from the people of Israel's half Moses took one of every fifty, both of persons and of beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
47
tulit Moses quinquagesimum caput et dedit Levitis qui excubant in tabernaculo Domini sicut praeceperat Dominus
48 Then the officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,
48
cumque accessissent principes exercitus ad Mosen et tribuni centurionesque dixerunt
49 and said to Moses, "Your servants have counted the men of war who are under our command, and there is not a man missing from us.
49
nos servi tui recensuimus numerum pugnatorum quos habuimus sub manu nostra et ne unus quidem defuit
50 And we have brought the LORD's offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and beads, to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD."
50
ob hanc causam offerimus in donariis Domini singuli quod in praeda auri potuimus invenire periscelides et armillas anulos et dextralia ac murenulas ut depreceris pro nobis Dominum
51 And Moses and Elea'zar the priest received from them the gold, all wrought articles.
51
susceperuntque Moses et Eleazar sacerdos omne aurum in diversis speciebus
52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the LORD, from the commanders of thousands and the commanders of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
52
pondo sedecim milia septingentos quinquaginta siclos a tribunis et centurionibus
53 (The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)
53
unusquisque enim quod in praeda rapuerat suum erat
54 And Moses and Elea'zar 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 people of Israel before the LORD.
54
et susceptum intulerunt in tabernaculum testimonii in monumentum filiorum Israhel coram Domino
