Ἀριθμοί 10

1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων

Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 ποίησον σεαυτῷ δύο σάλπιγγας ἀργυρᾶς ἐλατὰς ποιήσεις αὐτάς καὶ ἔσονταί σοι ἀνακαλεῖν τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ ἐξαίρειν τὰς παρεμβολάς

“Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.

3 καὶ σαλπίσεις ἐν αὐταῖς καὶ συναχθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

4 ἐὰν δὲ ἐν μιᾷ σαλπίσωσιν προσελεύσονται πρὸς σὲ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀρχηγοὶ Ισραηλ

But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.

5 καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι ἀνατολάς

When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.

6 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 βορρᾶν σημασίᾳ σαλπιοῦσιν ἐν τῇ ἐξάρσει αὐτῶν

When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.

7 καὶ ὅταν συναγάγητε τὴν συναγωγήν σαλπιεῖτε καὶ οὐ σημασίᾳ

To convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.

8 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ααρων οἱ ἱερεῖς σαλπιοῦσιν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν νόμιμον αἰώνιον εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν

The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and the generations to come.

9 ἐὰν δὲ ἐξέλθητε εἰς πόλεμον ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν πρὸς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους τοὺς ἀνθεστηκότας ὑμῖν καὶ σημανεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἀναμνησθήσεσθε ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ διασωθήσεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν

When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.

10 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς εὐφροσύνης ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις ὑμῶν σαλπιεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν ἐπὶ τοῖς ὁλοκαυτώμασιν καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις τῶν σωτηρίων ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν ἀνάμνησις ἔναντι τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς ἀνέβη ἡ νεφέλη ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony,

12 καὶ ἐξῆραν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ σὺν ἀπαρτίαις αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ Σινα καὶ ἔστη ἡ νεφέλη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ Φαραν

and the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sinai, traveling from place to place until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.

13 καὶ ἐξῆραν πρῶτοι διὰ φωνῆς κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ Μωυσῆ

They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.

14 καὶ ἐξῆραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν Ιουδα πρῶτοι σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν Ναασσων υἱὸς Αμιναδαβ

First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.

15 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Ισσαχαρ Ναθαναηλ υἱὸς Σωγαρ

Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,

16 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Ζαβουλων Ελιαβ υἱὸς Χαιλων

and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.

17 καὶ καθελοῦσιν τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Γεδσων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Μεραρι αἴροντες τὴν σκηνήν

Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting it.

18 καὶ ἐξῆραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς Ρουβην σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν Ελισουρ υἱὸς Σεδιουρ

Then the divisions of the camp of Reuben set out under their standard, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.

19 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Συμεων Σαλαμιηλ υἱὸς Σουρισαδαι

Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,

20 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Γαδ Ελισαφ ὁ τοῦ Ραγουηλ

and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.

21 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Κααθ αἴροντες τὰ ἅγια καὶ στήσουσιν τὴν σκηνήν ἕως παραγένωνται

Then the Kohathites set out, transporting the holy objects; the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.

22 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς Εφραιμ σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν Ελισαμα υἱὸς Εμιουδ

Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.

23 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Μανασση Γαμαλιηλ ὁ τοῦ Φαδασσουρ

Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,

24 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Βενιαμιν Αβιδαν ὁ τοῦ Γαδεωνι

and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.

25 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν Δαν ἔσχατοι πασῶν τῶν παρεμβολῶν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν Αχιεζερ ὁ τοῦ Αμισαδαι

Finally, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard, serving as the rear guard for all units, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.

26 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Ασηρ Φαγαιηλ υἱὸς Εχραν

Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,

27 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν Νεφθαλι Αχιρε υἱὸς Αιναν

and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.

28 αὗται αἱ στρατιαὶ υἱῶν Ισραηλ καὶ ἐξῆραν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν

This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.

29 καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς τῷ Ιωβαβ υἱῷ Ραγουηλ τῷ Μαδιανίτῃ τῷ γαμβρῷ Μωυσῆ ἐξαίρομεν ἡμεῖς εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν κύριος τοῦτον δώσω ὑμῖν δεῦρο μεθ’ ἡμῶν καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν ὅτι κύριος ἐλάλησεν καλὰ περὶ Ισραηλ

Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”

30 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν οὐ πορεύσομαι ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου καὶ εἰς τὴν γενεάν μου

“I will not go,” Hobab replied. “Instead, I am going back to my own land and my own people.”

31 καὶ εἶπεν μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς ἡμᾶς οὗ εἵνεκεν ἦσθα μεθ’ ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἔσῃ ἐν ἡμῖν πρεσβύτης

“Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.

32 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῇς μεθ’ ἡμῶν καὶ ἔσται τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἐκεῖνα ὅσα ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιήσῃ κύριος ἡμᾶς καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν

If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”

33 καὶ ἐξῆραν ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους κυρίου ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου προεπορεύετο προτέρα αὐτῶν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν κατασκέψασθαι αὐτοῖς ἀνάπαυσιν

So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.

34 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ εἶπεν Μωυσῆς ἐξεγέρθητι κύριε διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροί σου φυγέτωσαν πάντες οἱ μισοῦντές σε

And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

35 καὶ ἐν τῇ καταπαύσει εἶπεν ἐπίστρεφε κύριε χιλιάδας μυριάδας ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ

Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”

36 καὶ ἡ νεφέλη ἐγένετο σκιάζουσα ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς

And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”
