Numbers 10

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν, λέγων, ποίησον σεαυτῷ δύο σάλπιγγας ἀγυρᾶς·

2Make to yourself two silver trumpets: you shall make them of beaten work; and they shall be to you for the purpose of calling the assembly, and of removing the * camps.ἐλατὰς ποιήσεις αὐτάς· καὶ ἔσονταί σοι ἀνακαλεῖν τὴν συναγωγὴν, καὶ ἐξαίρειν τὰς παρεμβολάς.

3And you shall sound with them, and all the congregation shall be gathered to the door of the tabernacle of witness.Καὶ σαλπιεῖς ἐν αὐταῖς, καὶ συναχθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου·

4And if they shall sound with one, all the rulers even the princes of Israel shall come to you.Ἐὰν δὲ ἐν μιᾷ σαλπίσωσι, προσελεύσονται πρὸς σὲ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀρχηγοὶ Ἰσραήλ.

5And you shall sound an alarm, and the camps pitched eastward shall begin to move.καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν, καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι αἱ παρεμβαλοῦσαι ἀνατολάς·

6And you shall sound a second alarm, and the camps pitched southward shall move; and you shall sound a third alarm, and the camps pitched westward shall move forward; and you shall sound a fourth alarm, and they that encamp toward the north shall move forward: they shall sound an alarm at their departure.καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν δευτέραν, καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι Λίβα· καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν τρίτην, καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι παρὰ θάλασσαν· καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν τετάρτην, καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν· σημασίᾳ σαλπιοῦσιν ἐν τῇ ἐξάρσει αὐτῶν.

7And whenever you shall gather the assembly, you shall sound, but not an alarm.καὶ ὅταν συναγάγητε τὴν συναγωγὴν, σαλπιεῖτε, καὶ οὐ σημασίᾳ.

8And the priests the sons of Aaron shall sound with the trumpets; and it shall be a perpetual ordinance for you throughout your generations.Καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀαρὼν οἱ ἱερεῖς σαλπιοῦσι ταῖς σάλπιγξι· καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν νόμιμον αἰώνιον εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν.

9And if you shall go forth to war in your land against your enemies that are opposed to you, then shall you sound with the trumpets; and you shall be had in remembrance before the Lord, and you shall be saved from your enemies.Ἐὰν δὲ ἐξέλθητε εἰς πόλεμον ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν πρὸς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους τοὺς ἀνθεστηκότας ὑμῖ, καὶ σημανεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν, καὶ ἀναμνησθήσεσθε ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ διασωθήσεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν.

10And in the days of your gladness, and in your feasts, and in your new moons, you shall sound with the trumpets at your whole burnt offerings, and at the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and there shall be a memorial for you before your God: I am the Lord your God.Καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς εὐφροσύνης ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις ὑμῶν, σαλπιεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν ἐπὶ τοῖς ὁλοκαυτώμασι, καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις τῶν σωτηρίων ὑμῶν· καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν ἀνάμνησις ἔναντι τοῦ Θεοῦ ὑμῶν· ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν.

11And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud went up from the tabernacle of witness.Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς, ἀνέβη ἡ νεφέλη ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.

12And the children of Israel set forward with their baggage in the wilderness of Sina; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Pharan.καὶ ἐξῇραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ σὺν ἀπαρτίαις αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Σινᾶ· καὶ ἔστη ἡ νεφέλη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ Φαράν.

13And the first rank departed by the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.Καὶ ἐξῆραν πρῶτοι διὰ φωνῆς Κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ.

14And they first set in motion the order of the camp of the children of Juda with their host; and over their host was Naasson, son of Aminadab.Καὶ ἐξῇραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν Ἰούδα πρῶτοι σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν, Ναασσὼν υἱὸς Ἀμιναδάβ.

15And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, was Nathanael son of Sogar.καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Ἰσσάχαρ, Ναθαναὴλ υἱὸς Σωγάρ.

16And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zabulon, was Eliab the son of Chaelon.καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Ζαβουλὼν, Ἐλιὰβ, υἱὸς Χαιλών.

17And they shall take down the tabernacle, and the sons of Gedson shall set forward, and the sons of Merari, who bear the tabernacle.Καὶ καθελοῦσι τὴν σκηνὴν, καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Γεδσὼν, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Μεραρὶ, οἱ αἴροντες τὴν σκηνήν.

18And the order of the camp of Ruben set forward with their host; and over their host was Elisur the son of Sediur.Καὶ ἐξῇραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς Ῥουβὴν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν, Ἐλισοὺρ υἱὸς Σεδιούρ·

19And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Symeon, was Salamiel son of Surisadai.Καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Συμεὼν, Σαλαμιὴλ υἱὸς Σουρισαδαΐ.

20And over the host of the tribe of the children of Gad, was Elisaph the son of Raguel.Καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Γὰδ, Ἐλισὰφ ὁ τοῦ Ῥαγουήλ.

21And the sons of Caath shall set forward bearing the holy things, and † the others shall set up the tabernacle until they arrive.Καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Καὰθ αἴροντες τὰ ἅγια· καὶ στήσουσι τὴν σκηνὴν ἕως παραγένωνται.

22And the order of the camp of Ephraim shall set forward with their forces; and over their forces was Elisama the son of Semiud.Καὶ ἐξαροῦσι τάγμα παρεμβολῆς Ἐφραὶμ σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν, Ἐλισαμὰ υἱὸς Σμιούδ.

23And over the forces of the tribes of the sons of Manasse, was Gamaliel the son of Phadassur.Καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασσῆ, Γαμαλιὴλ ὁ τοῦ Φαδασσούρ.

24And over the forces of the tribe of the children of Benjamin, was Abidan the son of Gadeoni.Καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Βενιαμὶν, Ἀβιδὰν ὁ τοῦ Γαδεωνί.

25And the order of the camp of the sons of Dan shall set forward the last of all the camps, with their forces: and over their forces was Achiezer the son of Amisadai.Καὶ ἐξαροῦσι τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν Δὰν, ἔσχατοι πασῶν τῶν παρεμβολῶν, σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν, Ἀχιέζερ ὁ τοῦ Ἀμισαδαΐ.

26And over the forces of the tribe of the sons of Aser, was Phageel the son of Echran.Καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Ἀσὴρ, Φαγεὴλ υἱὸς Ἐχράν.

27And over the forces of the tribe of the sons of Nephthali, was Achire the son of Aenan.Καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Νεφθαλὶ, Ἀχιρὲ υἱὸς Αἰνάν.

28These are the armies of the children of Israel; and they set forward with their forces.Αὗται αἱ στρατιαὶ υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐξῇραν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν.

29And Moses said to Obab the son of Raguel the Madianite, the father-in-law of Moses, We are going forward to the place concerning which the Lord said, This will I give to you: Come with us, and we will do you good, for the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel.Καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς τῷ Ὀβὰβ υἱῷ Ῥαγουὴλ τῷ Μαδιανίτῃ τῷ γαμβρῷ Μωυσῆ, ἐξαίρομεν ἡμεῖς εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπε Κύριος, τοῦτον δώσω ὑμῖν· δεῦρο μεθʼ ἡμῶν, καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησε καλὰ περὶ Ἰσραήλ.

30And he said to him, I will not go, but I will go to my land and to my kindred.Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν, οὐ πορεύσομαι, ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου, καὶ εἰς τὴν γενεάν μου.

31And he said, Leave us not, because you have been with us in the wilderness, and you shall be an elder among us.Καὶ εἶπε, μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς ἡμᾶς, οὗ ἕνεκεν ἦσθα μεθʼ ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, καὶ ἔσῃ ἐν ἡμῖν πρεσβύτης.

32And it shall come to pass if you will go with us, it shall even come to pass that in whatever things the Lord shall do us good, we will also do you good.Καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῇς μεθʼ ἡμῶν, καὶ ἔσται τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἐκεῖνα ὅσα ἂν ἀγαθοποιήσῃ Κύριος ἡμᾶς, καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν.

33And they departed from the mount of the Lord a three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them a three days' journey to provide rest for them.Καὶ ἐξῇραν ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους Κυρίου ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν· καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης Κυρίου προεπορεύετο προτέρα αὐτῶν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν κατασκέψασθαι αὐτοῖς ἀνάπαυσιν.

34And the cloud overshadowed them by day, when they departed from the camp.Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὴν κιβωτὸν, καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς, ἐξεγέρθητι Κύριε, καὶ διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροί σου, φυγέτωσαν πάντες οἱ μισοῦντές σε.

35And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Arise, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered: let all that hate you flee.Καὶ ἐν τῇ καταπαύσει εἶπεν, ἐπίστρεφε Κύριε χιλιάδας μυριάδας ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ.

36And in the resting he said, Turn again, O Lord, the thousands and tens of thousands in Israel.Καὶ ἡ νεφέλη ἐγένετο σκιάζουσα ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας, ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς.
