1
ויוצא ממנו איש, מוצא חן בעיני כל חי. אהוב אלהים ואנשים, משה זכרו לטובה.
And he brought from him a man, finding grace in the eyes of all life. Beloved by God and man, Moshe, remembered for good.
Καὶ ἐξήγαγεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἄνδρα ἐλέους, εὑρίσκοντα χάριν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς πάσης σαρκός· ἐγαπημένον ὑπὸ Θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων Μωυσῆν, οὗ τὸ μνημόσυνον ἐν εὐλογίαις.
And he brought out of him a merciful man, Which found favor in the sight of all flesh; Even Moses, beloved of God and men, Whose memorial is blessed.
2
ויכבדהו אלהים, ויאמצהו במרומים.
And God honored him, and strengthened him in the heights.
Ὡμοίωσεν αὐτὸν δόξῃ ἁγίων, καὶ ἐμεγάλυνεν αὐτὸν ἐν φόβοις ἐχθρῶν.
He made him like to the glorious saints, And magnified him, so that his enemies stood in fear of him.
3
בדבריו האותות מהרו, ויחזקהו לפני מלך. ויצוהו אל העם, ויראו את כבודו.
With his words, the letters He sped up, and He strengthened him before the king; and He commanded the people, and they saw His glory.
Ἐν λόγοις αὐτοῦ σημεῖα κατέπαυσεν, ἐδόξασεν αὐτὸν κατὰ πρόσωπον βασιλέων· ἐνετείλατο αὐτῷ πρὸς λαὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτῷ τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ.
By his words he caused the wonders to cease, And he made him glorious in the sight of kings, And gave him a commandment for his people, And showed him part of his glory.

באמונתו ובענותו, בחר בו מכל בשר.

Ἐν πίστει καὶ πραΰτητι αὐτοῦ ἡγίασεν, ἐξελέξατο αὐτὸν ἐκ πάσης σαρκός.
He sanctified him [in] his faithfulness and meekness, And chose him out of all men.
5
וישמיעהו את קולו, ויגישהו לערפל. וישם בידו מצוה, תורת חיים ותבונה. ללמד ביעקב חוקיו, ועדותיו ומשפטיו לישראל.
And He caused him to hear his voice, and He drew him to the thick cloud; and He placed in his hand the commandment, the Torah of life and understanding; to teach Yaaqov His laws, and His statues and ordinances to Israel.
Ἠκούτισεν αὐτὸν τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν γνόφον· καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ κατὰ πρόσωπον ἐντολὰς, νόμον ζωῆς καὶ ἐπιστημης, διδάξαι τὸν Ἰακὼβ διαθήκην, καὶ κρίματα αὐτοῦ τὸν Ἰσραήλ.
He made him to hear his voice, And brought him into the dark cloud, And gave him commandments before his face, Even the law of life and knowledge, That he might teach Jacob his covenants, And Israel his judgments.

וירם קדוש את אהרן / למטה לוי, וישימהו לחק עולם.
And He raised Aharon, he the tribe of Levi, to holiness, and He placed him as an eternal law.
Ἀαρὼν ὕψωσεν ἅγιον ὅμοιον αὐτῷ, ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, ἐκ φυλῆς Λευΐ.
He exalted Aaron, a holy man like unto him, Even his brother, of the tribe of Levi.

ויתן עליו הוד, וישרתהו בכבודו. ויאזרהו בתועפות ראם, וילבישהו פעמונים.
And He put upon him splendor, and He appointed him minister in His glory; and girded him with the majesty of the aurochs, and clothed him with bells.
Ἔστησεν αὐτῷ διαθήκην αἰῶνος, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ἱερατείαν λαοῦ· ἐμακάρισεν αὐτὸν ἐν εὐκοσμίᾳ, καὶ περιέζωσεν αὐτὸν στολὴν δόξης.
An everlasting covenant he made with him, And gave him the priesthood among the people; He beautified him with comely ornaments, And clothed him with a robe of glory.

וילבישהו כליל תפארת, ויפארהו בכבוד ועוז. מכנסים כתנות ומעיל, ויקיפהו פעמונים.
And He clothed him all in majesty, and beautifued him in glory and strength; breeches, tunic, robe, and surrounded him in bells.
Ἐνέδυσεν αὐτὸν συντέλειαν καυχήματος, καὶ ἐστερέωσεν αὐτὸν σκεύεσιν ἰσχύος, περισκελῆ καὶ ποδήρη καὶ ἐπωμίδα,
He put upon him perfect glory; And strengthened him with rich garments, With breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod.
9
ורמונים המון סביב, לתת נעינה בצעדיו.
And many pomegranates surrounding, to make music with his steps.
καὶ ἐκύκλωσεν αὐτὸν ῥοΐσκοις χρυσοῖς, κώδωσι πλείστοις κυκλόθεν, ἠχῆσαι φωνὴν ἐν βήμασιν αὐτοῦ, ἀκουστὸν ποιῆσαι ἦχον ἐν ναῷ εἰς μνημόσυνον υἱοῖς λαοῦ αὐτοῦ,
And he compassed him with pomegranates And with many golden bells round about, That as he went there might be a sound, And a noise made that might be heard in the temple For a memorial to the children of his people;
10
בגדי קודש זהב תכלת, וארגמן מעשה חשב. חשן משפט אפוד ואזור, ושני תולעת מעשה אורג.
Holy clothes, gold, purple, and crimson, works of the masters; breatplate of judgement, ephod and girdle, and two scarlet threads, woven.
στολῇ ἁγίᾳ, χρυσῷ, καὶ ὑακίνθῳ, καὶ πορφύρᾳ, ἔργῳ ποικιλτοῦ, λογείῳ κρίσεως, δήλοις ἀληθείας,
With a holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, And purple, the work of the embroiderer, With a breastplate of judgment, with the revealers of truth;
11
אבני חפץ על החשן, פתוחי חותם במלואים. כל אבן יקרה לזכרון, בכתב חרות למספר בני ישראל.
Precious stones upon the breastplate, sealed and engraved in openings; every stone called a memory, written carved for the number of the children of Israel.
κεκλωσμένῃ κόκκῳ, ἔργῳ τεχνίτου, λίθοις πολυτελέσι γλύμματος σφραγίδος, ἐν δέσει χρυσίου, ἔργῳ λιθουργοῦ, εἰς μνημόσυνον ἐν γραφῇ κεκολαμμένῃ κατʼ ἀριθμὸν φυλῶν Ἰσραήλ·
With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, With precious stones graven like seals, And set in gold, the work of the jeweler, With a writing engraved for a memorial, After the number of the tribes of Israel.

A pure-gold crown, robe, turban, and headplate carved with a holy seal; splendrous glory and praiseworthy strength, pleasant to see and entirely beauty.
στέφανον χρυσοῦν ἐπάνω κιδάρεως, ἐκτύπωμα σφραγίδος ἁγιάσματος, καύχημα τιμῆς, ἔργον ἰσχύος, ἐπιθυμήματα ὀφθαλμῶν κοσμούμενα ὡραῖα.
He set a crown of gold upon the miter, Wherein was engraven Holiness, An ornament of honor, a costly work, The desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.
13
לפניו לא היה כן, כן לעולם לא ילבשם זר. האמין לו ולבניו כזה, וכן בניו לדורותם.
Before him was none like him, thus after him no stranger will wear it. He trusted in him and in his sons like this, and thus his sons to their generations.
Πρὸ αὐτοῦ οὐ γέγονε τοιαῦτα ἕως αἰῶνος, οὐκ ἐνεδύσατο ἀλλογενὴς, πλὴν τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ μόνον, καὶ τὰ ἔκγονα αὐτοῦ διαπαντός.
Before him there were none such, Neither did ever any stranger put them on, But only his children And his children’s children perpetually.
14
מנחתו כליל תקטר, בכל יום צמיד פעמים.

Θυσίαι αὐτοῦ ὁλοκαρπωθήσονται καθημέραν ἐνδελεχῶς δίς.
Their sacrifices shall be wholly consumed every day twice continually.
15
וימלא משה את ידו, וימשחהו בשמן הקדש. ותהי לו ברית עולם, ולזרעו כימי שמים.
And He filled Moshe's hand, and He anointed him with holy oil; and he was to Him an eternal covenant, and to his seed as in the days of heaven.
Ἐπλήρωσε Μωυσῆς τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ἔχρισεν αὐτὸν ἐν ἐλαίῳ ἁγίῳ· ἐγενήθη αὐτῷ εἰς διαθήκην αἰώνιον, καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἐν ἡμέραις οὐρανοῦ, λειτουργεῖν αὐτῷ ἅμα καὶ ἱερατεύειν, καὶ εὐλογεῖν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.
Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil; This was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, And to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, That they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, And bless the people in his name.
16
לשרת ולכהן לו,ולברך את עמו בשמו. ויבחר בו מכל חי, להגיש עלה וחלבים.
To minister and to serve as priest for Him, and to bless His people with His name. And He chose him from all life, to bring the whole-offerings and the suet-offerings.
Ἐξελέξατο αὐτὸν ἀπὸ παντὸς ζῶντος, προσαγαγεῖν κάρπωσιν Κυρίῳ, θυμίαμα καὶ εὐωδίαν εἰς μνημόσυνον, ἐξιλάσκεσθαι περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ σου.
He chose him out of all men living To offer sacrifices to the Lord, Incense, and a sweet savor, for a memorial, To make reconciliation for his people.
17
ולהקטיר ריח ניחח ואזכרה, ולכפר על בני ישראל. ויתן לו מצותיו, וימשילהו בחוק ומשפט.
And to burn a sweet smell and a remembrance, and to atone for the children of Israel.
Ἔδωκεν αὐτὸν ἐν ἐντολαῖς αὐτοῦ, ἐξουσίαν ἐν διαθήκαις κριμάτων, διδάξαι τὸν Ἰακὼβ τὰ μαρτύρια, καὶ ἐν νόμῳ αὐτοῦ φωτίσαι Ἰσραήλ.
He gave unto him his commandments, And authority in the statutes of judgments, That he should teach Jacob the testimonies, And inform Israel in his laws.
18
וילמד את עמו חק, ומשפט את בני ישראל. ויחרו בו זרים, ויקנאו בו במדבר. אנשי דתן ואבירם, ועדת קרח בעזוז אפם. וירא יהוה ויתאנף, ויכלם בחרון אפו.
And He gave his people a law, and a rule to the children of Israel; and strangers were angry with him, and jealous of him in the desert. The men of Datan and Aviram, and the congregation of Qoraḥ in their enraged anger; and they saw ADONAI and He was enraged, and destroyed them in his great anger.
Ἐπισυνέστησαν αὐτῷ ἀλλότριοι, καὶ ἐζήλωσαν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἄνδρες οἱ περὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρὼν, καὶ ἡ συναγωγὴ Κορὲ ἐν θυμῷ καὶ ὀργῇ.
Strangers conspired together against him, And maligned him in the wilderness, Even the men that were of Dathan’s and Abiram’s side, And the congregation of Korah, with fury and wrath.
19
Εἶδε Κύριος καὶ οὐκ εὐδόκησε, καὶ συνετελέσθησαν ἐν θυμῷ ὀργῆς· ἐποίησεν αὐτοῖς τέρατα, καταναλῶσαι ἐν πυρὶ φλογὸς αὐτοῦ.
This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, And in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: He did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.
20
ויבא להם אות, ויאכלם בשביב אשו. ויוסף לאהרן כבודו, ויתן לו נחלתו.
And He brought a sign to them, and consumed them in blazing fire; and He added His glory to Aharon, and gave him His inheritance.
Καὶ προσέθηκεν Ἀαρὼν δόξαν, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ κληρονομίαν· ἀπαρχὰς πρωτογενημάτων ἐμέρισεν αὐτοῖς· ἄρτον ἐν πρώτοις ἡτοίμασε πλησμονήν.
But he made Aaron more honorable, And gave him a heritage, And divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase; Especially he prepared bread in abundance:
21
ראשית קדש נתן לו לחם, אשי יהוה יאכלון. לחם פנים חלקו, ומתנה לו ולזרעו.
The holy first-part He gave him bread, and fires of ADONAI consumed them. The shewbread portiopn, and a gift to him and his seed.
Καὶ γὰρ θυσίας Κυρίου φάγονται, ἃς ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τε καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ.
For they eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, Which he gave unto him and his seed.
22
אך בארצם לא ינחל, ובתוכם לא יחלק נחלה. אשי יהוה חלקו ונחלתו, בתוך בני ישראל.
Yet in their land he would not inherit, and in their midst he would not receive an inheritance; the fires of ADONAI are his portion and inheritance, in the midst of the children of Israel.
Πλὴν ἐν γῇ λαοῦ οὐ κληρονομήσει, καὶ μερὶς οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτῷ ἐν λαῷ, αὐτὸς γὰρ μερίς σου, κληρονομία.
Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, Neither had he any portion among the people: For the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.
23
וגם פינחס בן אלעזר, בגבורה נחל שלישי. בקנאו לאלוה כל, ויעמוד בפרץ עמו.
And also, Pinḥas ben El'azar, in his strength, a third portion. In his zealousness to the God of all, and he stood at the people's breach.
Καὶ Φινεὲς υἱὸς Ἐλεάζαρ τρίτος εἰς δόξαν, ἐν τῷ ζηλῶσαι αὐτὸν ἐν φόβῳ Κυρίου, καὶ στῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐν τροπῇ λαοῦ, ἐν ἀγαθότητι προθυμίας ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξιλάσατο περὶ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
The third in glory is Phinehas the son of Eleazar, Because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, And stood up with good courage of heart when the people were turned back, And made reconciliation for Israel.
24
אשר נדבו לבו, ויכפר על בני ישראל. לכן גם לו הכין חק, ברית עולם לכלכל מקדש.
And who, in his nobility, his heart, atoned for the children of Israel; thus he also was given a law, an eternal covenant to administer the Sanctuary.
Διὰ τοῦτο ἐστάθη αὐτῷ διαθήκη εἰρήνης, προστάτην ἁγίων καὶ λαῷ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα αὐτῷ ᾖ καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ ἱερωσύνης μεγαλεῖον εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας·
Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, That he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of his people, And that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood forever:
25
אשר תהיה לו ולזרעו, כהונה גדולה על עולם. וגם בריתו עם דוד, בן ישי למטה יהודה. נחלת אש לפני כבודו, נחלת אהרן לכל זרעו. ועתה ברכו נא, את יהוה הטוב.
That would be his and his seeds, a great priesthood for all time. And also His covenant with David son of Yishai of the tribe of Judah. A portion of fire before His glory, the portion of Aharon to all his seed. And now, bless, please, ADONAI the good.
καὶ διαθηκήν τῷ Δαυὶδ υἱῷ ἐκ φυλῆς Ἰούδα, κληρονομία βασιλέως υἱοῦ ἐξ υἱοῦ μόνου, κληρονομία Ἀαρὼν καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ.
According to the covenant made with David son of Jesse, of the tribe of Judah, That the inheritance of the king should be to his posterity alone: So the inheritance of Aaron should also be unto his seed.
26
המעטר אתכם כבוד, ויתן לכם חכמת לב. למען לא ישכח טובכם, וגבורתכם לדורות עולם.
He crowns you with glory, He gives you a wise heart; that you not forget your goodness, and your strength for all generations.
Δῴη ὑμῖν σοφίαν ἐν καρδίᾳ ὑμῶν, κρίνειν τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, ἵνα μὴ ἀφανισθῇ τὰ ἀγαθὰ αὐτῶν, καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν εἰς γενεὰς αὐτῶν.
God give you wisdom in your heart To judge his people in righteousness, That their good things be not abolished, And that their glory may endure forever.
