< Numbers 2 >

1 Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron dicens:
2 “When the Israelis set up their tents, they should set them up in areas that surround the Sacred Tent, but not close to it. The people of each tribe must set up their tents in a different area. Each tribe must erect in that area a banner of their own clan and a flag that represents their tribe.
Singuli per turmas, signa, atque vexilla, et domos cognationum suarum castrametabuntur filii Israel, per gyrum tabernaculi fœderis.
3 The people of the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun must set up their tents on the east side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of soldiers whom they will lead: Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, will be the leader of the 74,600 men of the tribe of Judah.
Ad Orientem Iudas figet tentoria per turmas exercitus sui: eritque princeps filiorum eius Nahasson filius Aminadab.
4
et omnis de stirpe eius summa pugnantium, septuaginta quattuor millia sexcenti.
5 Nethanel, the son of Zuar, will be the leader of the 54,500 men of the tribe of Issachar.
Iuxta eum castrametati sunt de tribu Issachar, quorum princeps fuit Nathanael filius Suar.
6
et omnis numerus pugnatorum eius quinquaginta quattuor millia quadringenti.
7 Eliab, the son of Helon, will be the leader of the 57,400 men of the tribe of Zebulun.
In tribu Zabulon princeps fuit Eliab filius Helon.
8
Omnis de stirpe eius exercitus pugnatorum, quinquaginta septem millia quadringenti.
9 So there will be 86,400 troops on the east side [of the Sacred Tent]. Whenever the Israelis move to a new location, those three tribes must go in front of the others.
Universi qui in castris Iudæ annumerati sunt, fuerunt centum octoginta sex millia quadringenti: et per turmas suas primi egredientur.
10 The tribes of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad must set up their tents on the south side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of men whom they will lead: Elizur, the son of Shedeur, will be the leader of the 46,500 men of the tribe of Reuben.
In castris filiorum Ruben ad meridianam plagam erit princeps Elisur filius Sedeur:
et cunctus exercitus pugnatorum eius qui numerati sunt, quadraginta sex millia quingenti.
12 Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, will be the leader of the 59,300 men of the tribe of Simeon.
Iuxta eum castrametati sunt de tribu Simeon: quorum princeps fuit Salamiel filius Surisaddai.
et cunctus exercitus pugnatorum eius, qui numerati sunt, quinquaginta novem millia trecenti.
14 Eliasaph, the son of Deuel, will be the leader of the 45,650 men of the tribe of Gad.
In tribu Gad princeps fuit Eliasaph filius Duel.
et cunctus exercitus pugnatorum eius, qui numerati sunt, quadraginta quinque millia sexcenti quinquaginta.
16 So there will be 151,450 troops on the south side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will follow the first group [when the Israelis travel].
Omnes qui recensiti sunt in castris Ruben, centum quinquaginta millia et mille quadringenti quinquaginta per turmas suas: in secundo loco proficiscentur.
17 Behind that group will walk the descendants of Levi, who will carry the Sacred Tent. The Israelis will march in the same order that they always set up their tents. Each tribe will carry its own flag.
Levabitur autem tabernaculum testimonii per officia Levitarum et turmas eorum. quomodo erigetur, ita et deponetur. Singuli per loca et ordines suos proficiscentur.
18 The tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin must set up their tents on the west side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and number of men whom they will lead: Elishama, the son of Ammihud, will be the leader of the 40,500 men of the tribe of Ephraim.
Ad occidentalem plagam erunt castra filiorum Ephraim, quorum princeps fuit Elisama filius Ammiud.
cunctus exercitus pugnatorum eius, qui numerati sunt, quadraginta millia quingenti.
20 Gamaliel, the son of Pedahzur, will be the leader of the 32,200 men of the tribe of Manasseh.
Et cum eis tribus filiorum Manasse, quorum princeps fuit Gamaliel filius Phadassur.
cunctusque exercitus pugnatorum eius, qui numerati sunt, triginta duo millia ducenti.
22 Abidan, the son of Gideoni, will be the leader of the 35,400 men of the tribe of Benjamin.
In tribu filiorum Beniamin princeps fuit Abidan filius Gedeonis.
et cunctus exercitus pugnatorum eius, qui recensiti sunt, triginta quinque millia quadringenti.
24 So there will be 108,100 troops on the west side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will follow the second group, [behind the descendants of Levi].
Omnes qui numerati sunt in castris Ephraim, centum octo millia centum per turmas suas: tertii proficiscentur.
25 The tribes of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali must set up their tents on the north side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of men whom they will lead: Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, will be the leader of the 62,700 men of the tribe of Dan.
Ad Aquilonis partem castrametati sunt filii Dan: quorum princeps fuit Ahiezer filius Ammisaddai.
cunctus exercitus pugnatorum eius, qui numerati sunt, sexaginta duo millia septingenti.
27 Pagiel, the son of Ocran, will be the leader of the 41,500 men of the tribe of Asher.
Iuxta eum fixere tentoria de tribu Aser: quorum princeps fuit Phegiel filius Ochran.
cunctus exercitus pugnatorum eius, qui numerati sunt, quadraginta millia et mille quingenti.
29 Ahira, the son of Enan, will be the leader of the 53,400 men of the tribe of Naphtali.
De tribu filiorum Nephthali princeps fuit Ahira filius Enan.
cunctus exercitus pugnatorum eius, quinquaginta tria millia quadringenti.
31 So there will be 157,600 troops on the north side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will be last. They must carry their own flags when the Israelis travel.”
Omnes, qui numerati sunt in castris Dan, fuerunt centum quinquaginta septem millia sexcenti: et novissimi proficiscentur.
32 So there were 603,550 Israeli men who were able to fight who were listed according to their families’ ancestors.
Hic numerus filiorum Israel, per domos cognationum suarum et turmas divisi exercitus, sexcenta tria millia quingenti quinquaginta.
33 But just as Yahweh had commanded, the names of the descendants of Levi were not included.
Levitæ autem non sunt numerati inter filios Israel: sic enim præceperat Dominus Moysi.
34 The Israelis did everything that Yahweh had told Moses/me. They set up their tents close to their tribal flags, and when they traveled [to a new location, they walked] with their own clans and family groups.
Feceruntque filii Israel iuxta omnia quæ mandaverat Dominus. Castrametati sunt per turmas suas, et profecti per familias ac domos patrum suorum.
