Nomery 31
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
2 Ampamaleo fate amo nte-Midianeo o ana’ Israeleo. Ie heneke zay le hatontoñe am’ondati’oo rehe.
“Take vengeance on the Midianites for what they did to the Israelites. After doing that, you will die and be gathered to your people.”
3 Aa le nisaontsy am’ ondatio t’i Mosè nanao ty hoe: Ampidiaño ty ila’e ama’ areo hialy, vaho iraho haname o nte-Midianeo hamale i Midiane ty am’ Iehovà.
So Moses spoke to the people. He said, “Arm some of your men for war so they may go against Midian and carry out Yahweh's vengeance on it.
4 Songa hañitrik’ arivo mb’amy aliy mb’eo ze fifokoa’ Israele.
Every tribe throughout Israel must send a thousand soldiers to war.”
5 Aa le hene nanolotse arivo boak’ amy lahiale’ Israeley o fifokoañeo, rai-ale-tsi-ro’arivo reke-pialiañe.
So out of Israel's thousands of men, one thousand was provided from each tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.
6 Le nampionjone’ i Mosè mb’ añ’aly mb’eo kiarivo-kiarivo’ o fifokoañeo; le nampindreze’e am’ iereo t’i Pinekàse ana’ i Elazàre ninday o fanake miavakeo naho o antsiva fikoihañeo am-pità’e.
Then Moses sent them to battle, a thousand from every tribe, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and with some articles from the holy place and the trumpets in his possession for sounding signals.
7 Tiname’ iareo t’i Midiane ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè vaho vinono ze hene atao lahilahy.
They fought against Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses. They killed every man.
8 Fonga naharo vono am’ iereo o mpanjaka’ i Midianeo: i Evý, naho i Rèkeme naho i Tsore naho i Kòre vaho i Rèba; i mpanjaka’ i Midiane lime rey vaho vinono am-pibara ka t’i Balame ana’i Beore.
They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their dead: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor, with the sword.
9 Le kinopa’ o ana’ Israeleo ze hene rakemba naho o keleia’ o nte-Midianeoo, naho hene kinopa’ iareo o añombeo naho o mpirai-lia’eo naho o vara’eo;
The army of Israel took captive the women of Midian, their children, all their cattle, all their flocks, and all their goods. They took these as plunder.
10 fonga finorototo añ’ afo o rova nimoneña’ iareoo naho ze hene tobe’ iareo,
They burned all their cities where they lived and all their camps.
11 le rinambe’ iareo ze dinohitse iaby naho ze fonga kinopake: ondaty naho hare.
They took all the plunder and prisoners, both people and animals.
12 Nendese’ iareo mb’ amy Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho i valobohò’ Israeley mb’eo ondaty iabio naho o varao vaho ze raha kinopake mb’ an-tobe a montombei’ i Moabe aolo’ Iardeney tandrife Ieriko mb’eo.
They brought the prisoners, the plunder, and the captured things to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the community of the people of Israel. They brought these to the camp in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan near Jericho.
13 Niavotse amy zao t’i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho o talè’ i valobohòkeio hifanalaka am’ iereo alafe’ i tobey.
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp.
14 Fe niviñera’ i Mosè o mpiaolo’ o lahindefoñeoo, naho i mpifelek’ arivo rey, naho i mpifehe ki-zato rey, o niboak’ amy hotakotakeio.
But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from battle.
15 Le hoe t’i Mosè am’ iereo: Hene nenga’ areo ho veloñe hao o ampelao?
Moses said to them, “Have you let all the women live?
16 Inao, ie ty nampiola o ana’ Israeleo amy Iehovà ie nikililie’ i Balame amy raha e Peorey, vaho nametsahañe angorosy ty valobohò’ Iehovà.
Look, these women caused the people of Israel, through Balaam's advice, to commit sin against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, when the plague spread among Yahweh's community.
17 Aa le fonga vonò ze lahilahy amo keleia’eo naho ze ampela fa niolots’ ama’ ondaty.
Now then, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has ever slept with a man.
18 Fe tano ho anahareo ze ampela mbe tsy niharo sarimbo ama’ ondaty.
But take for yourselves all the young girls who have never slept with a man.
19 Le ie namono ondaty ndra nitsapa ty vinono ro mitoboha alafe’ i tobey fito andro; miefera vatañe ami’ty andro faha-telo naho ami’ ty andro faha-fito; inahareo naho o finao’ areoo.
You must camp outside the camp of Israel for seven days. All of you who have killed anyone and or have touched any dead person—you must purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day—you and your prisoners.
20 Le liovo iaby ze sikiñe naho ze nanoeñe an’ angozy naho ze rinare am-bolon’ ose vaho ze raha an-katae.
You must purify every garment and everything made of animal hide and goats' hair, and everything made of wood.”
21 Le hoe t’i Elazare mpisoroñe amo lahin-defo niatreke i aliio: Zao ty fañèmpètse linili’ Iehovà i Mosè:
Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone to war, “This is a decreed law that Yahweh has given to Moses:
22 ze volamena naho volafoty naho torisìke naho viñe naho endraendra vaho firake—
The gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead,
23 ze raha mete asitrik’ añ’afo avao—ro hampisorohe’ areo añ’afo, le halio, f’ie mbe heferañe an-dranom-pañeferañe. Le ze raha tsy mahaleo afo ro hampisoroheñe rano.
and everything that resists fire, you must put it through the fire, and it will become clean. You must then purify those things with the water of cleansing. Whatever cannot go through the fire you must cleanse with that water.
24 Le ho sasà’ areo ami’ ty andro faha-fito ty siki’ areo vaho halio, ie heneke zay le mahazo mizilik’ an-tobe ao.
You must wash your clothes on the seventh day, and then you will become clean. Afterward you may come into Israel's camp.”
25 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
26 Volilio, ihe naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho o talèn-droae’eo ze fonga raha kinopake: ondaty naho hare.
“Count all the plundered things that were taken, both people and animals. You, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community's ancestor's clans
27 Zarao roe o kinopakeo: ty raike ho amo nañavelo niatrek’ i aliio le ty raike ho amy valobohòkey.
must divide the plunder into two parts. Divide it between the soldiers who went out to battle and all the rest of the community.
28 Le ampandivao o lahindefoñe niatre-kotakotakeo ty raik’ ami’ ty liman-jato ho enga am’ Iehovà, ke t’ie ondaty, he te añombe, ke borìke he añondry, hera ose.
Then levy a tax to be given to me from the soldiers who went out to battle. This tax must be one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or goats.
29 Rambeso ami’ty vaki’ iareo, vaho atoloro amy Elazare mpisoroñe ho engan-kavoañe am’ Iehovà.
Take this tax from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest for an offering to be presented to me.
30 Le ampandivao ami’ty anjara’ o ana’ Israeleo ka ty raik’ ami’ty limampolo’ ze ondaty naho añombe naho borìke naho añondry naho ze hare iaby vaho atoloro amo nte-Levy mpiatrake i kivoho’ Iehovàio.
Also from the people of Israel's half, you must take one out of every fifty—from the persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats. Give these to the Levites who take care of my tabernacle.”
31 Le nanoe’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe i nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosey.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
32 Ty vara nisisa amy nikopahe’ o lahindefoñeoy le añondry enen-ketse-tsi-fito-ale-tsi-lime-arivo,
Now the plunder that remained of what the soldiers had taken was 675,000 sheep,
33 naho añombe fito-ale-tsi-ro’arivo,
seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 naho borìke eneñ’ ale-tsi-arivo,
sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35 naho ondaty telo-ale-tsi-ro’ arivo: hene somondrara mboe tsy niolots’ ama’ ondaty.
and thirty-two thousand women who had never slept with any man.
36 Ty vaki’e raike, ty anjara’ o niatre-kotakotakeo, le añondry naho ose telo-hetse-tsi-telo-ale-tsi-fito-arivo-tsi-liman-jato,
The half that was kept for the soldiers numbered 337,000 sheep.
37 le o añondry naho ose nengaeñe am’Iehovào enenjato tsy-fitompolo-lim’ amby.
Yahweh's part of the sheep was 675.
38 Le telo-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty añombe, aa le fitom-polo-ro’ amby ty nengaeñe am’Iehovà;
The oxen were thirty-six thousand which Yahweh's tax was seventy-two.
39 telo-ale-tsi-liman-jato ty borìke vaho enempolo-raik’ amby ty nengaeñe am’ Iehovà;
The donkeys were 30,500 from which Yahweh's part was sixty-one.
40 rai-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty ia’ondatio vaho telopolo-ro’amby ty nengaeñe am’ Iehovà.
The persons were sixteen thousand women of whom Yahweh's tax was thirty-two.
41 Aa le natolo’ i Mosè amy Elazare mpisoroñe ty anjara’ Iehovà, ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè.
Moses took the tax that was to be an offering presented to Yahweh. He gave it to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
42 Aa naho ty vaki’ i valobohòke navi’ i Mosè ami’ty anjara’ o lahindefoñeoy;
As for the people of Israel's half that Moses had taken from the soldiers who had gone to war—
43 ty vaki’ i valobohòkey telo-hetse-tsi-telo-ale-tsi-fito-arivo-tsi-liman-jato añondry naho ose,
the community's half was 337,500 sheep,
44 le telo-ale-tsi-eneñ’arivo ty añombe,
thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 naho telo-ale-tsi-liman-jato ty borìke,
30,500 donkeys,
46 vaho rai-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty ia’ondatio.
and sixteen thousand women.
47 Aa ty amy vaki’ o ana’ Israeleo, le nangala’ i Mosè ty raik’ ami’ty limampolo, ondaty naho hare, le natolo’e amo nte-Levio—o mpiatrake i kivoho’ Iehovào amy nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosèy.
From the people of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, both of people and animals. He gave them to the Levites who kept care of Yahweh's tabernacle, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
48 Niheo amy Mosè mb’eo amy zao o mpiaolo nifehe o arivo nialio, toe o mpifelek’ arivoo naho o mpifehe zatoo;
Then the officers of the army, the commanders over thousands and the captains over hundreds, came to Moses.
49 le nanao ty hoe amy Mosè: Fa niahe’ o mpitoro’oo o lahindefo nifelehe’aio, leo raike tsy nipoke.
They said to him, “Your servants have counted the soldiers who are under our command, and not one man is missing.
50 Aa le mañenga ravoravo am’ Iehovà zahay, ze niazo’ ondatio ke ravake volamena ke vangovango ke tsiandetse ke bange fitomboke ke kiviro he ètse, ho fañanintsin-troke añatrefa’ Iehovà.
We have brought Yahweh's offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before Yahweh.”
51 Rinambe’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe am’ iereo o volamenao naho o bangeo vaho ze hene bijo,
Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them the gold and all the articles of craftsmanship.
52 le ty tontom-bolamena nengae’ iareo ho am’ Iehovà, boak’ amo mpifelek’ arivoo vaho o mpifehe zatoo: rai-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo-tsi-fitonjato-tsi-limampolo sekele,
All the gold of the offering that they gave to Yahweh—the offerings from the commanders of thousands and from the captains of hundreds—weighed 16,750 shekels.
53 amy te songa nikopake ho am-bata’e o lahindefoñeo.
Each soldier had taken plunder, each man for himself.
54 Aa le rinambe’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe amo mpifelek’ arivo naho zatoo i volamenay, vaho nendese’ iereo am-po’ i kibohom-pamantañañey ho fitiahiañe o ana’ Israeleo añatrefa’ Iehovà.
Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of thousands and captains of hundreds. They took it into the tent of meeting as a reminder of the people of Israel for Yahweh.
