Numbers 31
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2 Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.
“Na pilnam te coi lamtah Israel ca rhoek kah tawnlohnah neh Median soah phulo laeh,” a ti nah.
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian.
Te dongah Moses loh pilnam te a voek tih, “Na taeng lamkah hlang rhoek te caempuei la pumcum saeh lamtah Midian soah BOEIPA kah tawnlohnah paek ham Midian cuuk uh thil saeh.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
Israel koca boeih khui lamloh koca khat ah thawng khat, koca khat ah thawng khat rhip te caempuei la tueih uh,” a ti nah.
5 And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Te dongah Israel a thawng a thawng khui lamloh koca khat ah thawng khat te hol uh tih thawng hlai nit te caempuei la pumcum uh.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand.
Te phoeiah Moses loh amih koca pakhat lamkah thawngkhat te caempuei la a tueih. Te vaengah khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha khaw a kut dongkah hmuencim hnopai neh tamlung olueng neh caempuei la cet.
7 And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te a uen bangla Midian te a muk uh tih tongpa boeih te a ngawn uh.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
Midian manghai rhoek te khaw amih kah rhok dongah a ngawn uh. Midian manghai panga, Evi neh Rekem khaw, Zur neh Hur khaw, Reba neh Beor capa Balaam khaw cunghang neh a ngawn uh.
9 And the children of Israel took the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods;
Israel ca rhoek loh Midian kah huta camoe khaw a rhamsa boeih neh a boiva boeih a mawt uh tih a thadueng boeih khaw a poelyoe pa uh.
10 and all their cities in their settlements and all their encampments they burned with fire.
Amih kah tolrhum lakli, a khopuei boeih neh a lumim boeih khaw hmai neh a hoeh pa uh.
11 And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle;
Kutbuem boeih khaw, hlang neh rhamsa dongkah a hnorhawt boeih khaw a khuen uh.
12 and they brought to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan of Jericho.
Te phoeiah tamna neh kutbuem hnorhawt te khaw Jerikho kah Jordan kaep, Moab kolken kah rhaehhmuen kah Moses taeng neh khosoih Eleazar taengah, Israel ca rhaengpuei taengla a khuen uh.
13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp.
Moses, khosoih Eleazar neh rhaengpuei kah khoboei boeih khaw amih doe hamla rhaehhmuen vongvoel la tawn uh.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, with the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war;
Tedae caem aka soep thawng khat mangpa rhoek neh caempuei caemtloek lamkah aka pawk yakhat mangpa taengah Moses a thintoek.
15 and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
Te phoeiah amih te Moses loh, “Huta tah boeih na hlun uh nama?
16 Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah.
Peor kah olka dongah BOEIPA taeng lamloh boekoeknah la hol uh ham Balaam kah ol lamloh Israel ca rhoek taengla amih ha pawk coeng ne. Te dongah ni lucik loh BOEIPA kah hlangboel a tlak thil.
17 And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him,
Te dongah camoe lakli kah tongpa boeih te ngawn uh lamtah tongpa kah thingkong dongah tongpa aka ming huta boeih khaw ngawn uh.
18 but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
Tedae huta khuiah khaw tongpa kah thingkong aka ming hlan camoe boeih tah namamih ham hlun uh.”
19 And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
“Nangmih hinglu aka ngawn boeih neh rhok aka ben boeih tah hnin rhih khuiah rhaehhmuen vongvoel la rhaeh uh. A hnin thum neh a hnin rhih dongah namamih neh na tamna te khaw cilpoe uh.
20 And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.
Himbai boeih neh maehpho dongkah hnopai boeih, maae lamkah bitat boeih neh thing hnopai boeih khaw cilpoe uh,” a ti nah.
21 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had gone to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen bangla olkhueng dongkah khosing he, khosoih Eleazar loh caemtloek la aka cet caempuei hlang rhoek taengah,
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
“Sui neh cak, rhohum, thi, samphae neh kawnlawk,
23 everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through the water.
Hmai aka khoeng hno boeih tah hmai ah caeh sak uh lamtah caihcil bitni. Pumom tui neh cilpoe saeh lamtah hmai loh a khoeng pawt boeih tah tui dongah caeh sak uh.
24 And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.
A hnin rhih dongah na himbai te na suk uh tih na caihcil uh phoeiah rhaehhmuen la kun uh,” a ti nah.
25 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly;
“Hnorhawt dongkah hlangmi te, na hlang kah tamna neh rhamsa khaw, khosoih Eleazar neh rhaengpuei kah a napa rhoek hlangmi khaw tae uh.
27 and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly.
Caempuei la a khuen tih caem aka tu laklo neh rhaengpuei boeih laklo ah hnorhawt te tael pah.
28 And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle.
Caempuei la aka cet caemtloek hlang rhoek khui lamloh ya nga vaengah hinglu pakhat tah hlang khaw, saelhung khaw, laak khaw, boiva khaw BOEIPA taengah mangmu la tloeng.
29 Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah.
A rhakthuem te lo lamtah BOEIPA kah khosaa la khosoih Eleazar ham pae.
30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the small cattle, of every [kind of] beasts, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.
Israel ca rhoek kah te a rhakthuem ah coelh pah. Sawmnga lamloh pakhat tah hlang khaw, saelhung khaw, laak khaw, boiva khaw, rhamsa khaw boeih tu lamtah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim loh a kuek aka ngaithuen Levi taengah pae,” a ti nah.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Moses neh khosoih Eleazar loh a saii.
32 And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
Caempuei pilnam loh a poelyoe hnorhawt dong lamloh maeh coih la aka om he boiva he thawng ya rhuk neh thawng sawmrhih thawng nga,
33 and seventy-two thousand oxen,
saelhung thawng sawmrhih neh thawng hnih,
34 and sixty-one thousand asses,
Laak thawng sawmrhuk neh thawng khat lo.
35 and of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
Hlang kah hinglu khaw tongpa kah thingkong aka ming pawh huta he a pum la hinglu thawng sawmthum thawng nit lo.
36 And the half, the portion of them that had gone out to the war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
Caempuei la aka kun kah hamsum rhakthuem he a pum la boiva thawng ya thum neh thawng sawmthum thawng rhih ya nga lo.
37 and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;
BOEIPA kah mangmu te boiva dong lamloh ya rhuk sawmrhih panga,
38 and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;
Saelhung thawng sawmthum thawng rhuk lo. Te vaengah BOEIPA ham amih kah mangmu te sawmrhih pumnit lo.
39 and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;
Laak thawng thumkip neh ya nga vaengah BOEIPA ham amih mangmu pum sawmrhuk pakhat lo.
40 and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.
Hlang kah hinglu khaw thawng hlai rhuk vaengah BOEIPA ham amih kah mangmu te hinglu thumkip panit lo.
41 And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla BOEIPA kah khosaa mangmu te Moses loh khosoih Eleazar taengah a paek.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had divided, [taking it] from the men that served in the war,
Israel ca rhakthuem lamloh caem aka muk hlang taeng lamkah khaw Moses loh a tael pah.
43 (now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred,
Hlangboel rhakthuem lamloh boiva thawng ya thum neh thawng sawmthum thawng rhih ya nga lo.
44 and thirty-six thousand oxen,
Saelhung he thawng thumkip neh thawng rhuk lo.
45 and thirty thousand five hundred asses,
Laak thawng sawmthum neh ya nga lo.
46 and sixteen thousand human persons, )
Hlang kah hinglu thawng hlai rhuk lo.
47 ...of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Israel ca rhoek rhakthuem dongkah te Moses a loh. Sawmnga ah pakhat tah hlang lamkah khaw, rhamsa lamkah khaw a loh tih BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla BOEIPA dungtlungim kah a kuek aka ngaithuen Levi taengah a paek.
48 And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,
Te phoeiah caempuei a thawng thawng aka soep, thawng khat mangpa rhoek neh yakhat mangpa rhoek tah Moses taengla mop uh.
49 and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one man of us lacking.
Moses taengah, “Na sal rhoek loh caemtloek hlang rhoek kah boeilu te a tae uh vaengah mamih lamkah he kaimih kut hmuiah hlang he a hmaai moenih.
50 So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah.
Te dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah kaimih kah hinglu ham aka dawth la hlang loh a hmuh sui hnopai, cak neh khungpak, kutcaeng, hnathawn neh oilung te BOEIPA nawnnah ham kang khuen,” a ti uh.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, all manner of wrought jewels.
Te dongah Moses neh khosoih Eleazar loh amih taeng lamkah sui neh kutsai hnopai boeih te a doe.
52 And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered to Jehovah was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
Te dongah thawngkhat mangpa rhoek neh yakhat mangpa rhoek taeng lamloh BOEIPA taengah khosaa la a tloeng uh sui boeih he shekel thawng hlai rhuk ya rhih sawmnga lo.
53 (The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.)
Caempuei hlang rhoek long khaw amah kah hlang te a poelyoe uh.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.
Te phoeiah Moses neh khosoih Eleazar loh thawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek lamkah sui te a doe tih tingtunnah dap la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Israel ca rhoek ham poekkoepnah la a khuen.
