< Numbers 31 >

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.
“Tsiva kuvaMidhiani zvavakaitira vaIsraeri. Shure kwaizvozvo uchandosanganiswa navanhu vako.”
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.
Saka Mozisi akati kuvanhu, “Shongedzai vamwe varume vokwenyu nhumbi dzokurwa kuti vaende kundorwa navaMidhiani kuti vazadzise kutsiva kwaJehovha pamusoro pavo.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
Endesai kuhondo varume chiuru kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe rwavaIsraeri.”
5 And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Saka varume zviuru gumi nezviviri vakashongedzerwa kundorwa, chiuru chimwe kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe, vakauyiswa vachibva kumhuri dzavaIsraeri.
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.
Mozisi akavatuma kundorwa, chiuru kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe, pamwe chete naFinehasi mwanakomana waEreazari muprista, uyo akatorawo nhumbi dzomunzvimbo tsvene nehwamanda dzokuridza pakutungamirira.
7 And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males.
Vakarwisa vaMidhiani, sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha, vakauraya varume vose.
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.
Vakaurayiwa pakati pavo ndiEvhi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri naRebha, madzimambo mashanu avaMidhiani. Vakaurayawo nomunondo Bharamu mwanakomana waBheori.
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;
VaIsraeri vakatapa vakadzi vavaMidhiani navana vavo uye vakatora mombe dzose dzavaMidhiani, makwai nepfuma sezvinhu zvavakapamba.
10 and all their cities in their settlements and all their encampments they burned with fire.
Vakapisa maguta ose avaMidhiani, pamwe chete nemisasa yavo yose.
11 And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle;
Vakatora zvose zvavakapamba, nepfuma, pamwe chete navanhu uye nezvipfuwo,
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.
vakauya nenhapwa, nepfuma uye nezvavakapamba kuna Mozisi naEreazari muprista, uye vaIsraeri vakaungana pamisasa yavo pamapani eMoabhu, paJorodhani uchibva mhiri kuJeriko.
13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp.
Mozisi, Ereazari navatungamiri vose veungano vakabuda kuti vandosangana navo kunze kwomusasa.
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;
Mozisi akatsamwira machinda ehondo, vatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana, vakadzoka kuhondo.
15 and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
Akavabvunza akati, “Ko, makatendera vakadzi vose kuti vararame here?
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.
Ndivo vakanga vachitevera zano raBharamu uye ndivo vakatsausa vaIsraeri kubva kuna Jehovha pane zvakaitika paPeori, naizvozvo denda rikauya pamusoro pavanhu vaJehovha.
17 And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him,
Zvino chiurayai vakomana vose. Uye muuraye mukadzi mumwe nomumwe akavata nomurume,
18 but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
asi muzvisiyire musikana mumwe nomumwe asina kuvata nomurume.
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.
“Imi mose makauraya ani zvake kana kubata ani zvake akaurayiwa, munofanira kugara kunze kwomusasa kwamazuva manomwe. Pazuva rechitanhatu nezuva rechinomwe, munofanira kuzvinatsa imi nenhapwa dzenyu.
20 And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.
Munatse nguo imwe neimwe pamwe chete nezvose zvakaitwa namatehwe, mvere dzembudzi kana makushe ehwai.”
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.
Ipapo Ereazari muprista akati kuvarwi vakanga vaenda kuhondo, “Hezvino zvinodikanwa
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
pamurayiro wakapiwa Mozisi naJehovha: goridhe, sirivha, ndarira, simbi, tini, mutobvu
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.
nezvimwewo zvisingaparadzwi nomoto; zvinofanira kuiswa mumoto, ipapo zvichava zvakanaka. Asi zvinofanirawo kucheneswa nemvura yokunatsa. Uye zvose zvisingagoni kukunda moto zvinofanira kupinzwa nomumvura imomo.
24 And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.
Pazuva rechinomwe musuke nguo dzenyu, ipapo muchava vakachena. Ipapo mungazochipinda henyu mumusasa.”
25 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
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;
“Iwe naEreazari muprista navakuru vemhuri veungano munofanira kuverenga vanhu vose nezvipfuwo zvakapambwa.
27 and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly.
Mugovere zvakapambwa pakati pavarwi vakaenda kuhondo uye navakasara muungano.
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.
Kubva kuvarwi vakanga vandorwa kuhondo, utsaure somutero waJehovha chinhu chimwe chete pazvinhu mazana mashanu, vangava vanhu, mombe, mbongoro, makwai kana mbudzi.
29 Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah.
Utore mutero uyu kubva pahafu yavo yomugove wavo ugopa kuna Ereazari muprista somugove waJehovha.
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.
Kubva kuhafu inova yavaIsraeri, utsaure chinhu chimwe chete kubva pamakumi mashanu oga oga, vangava vanhu, mombe, mbongoro, makwai, mbudzi kana zvimwe zvipfuwo. Uzvipe kuvaRevhi, ivo vane basa rokuchengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Saka Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakaita sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
32 And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
Zvakatapwa zvakasara pane zvavakapamba zvakanga zvatorwa navarwi zvaisvika zviuru mazana matanhatu namakumi manomwe nezvishanu zvamakwai,
33 and seventy-two thousand oxen,
mombe zviuru makumi manomwe nezviviri,
34 and sixty-one thousand asses,
mbongoro zviuru makumi matanhatu nechiuru chimwe chete
35 and of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
uye vakadzi zviuru makumi matatu nezviviri vakanga vasina kumbovata navarume.
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,
Hafu yomugove wavaya vakarwa muhondo yaiva: makwai zviuru mazana matatu namakumi matatu nezvinomwe, namazana mashanu,
37 and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;
mutero waJehovha paari wakanga uri makwai mazana matanhatu namakwai manomwe namashanu;
38 and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;
mombe dzaisvika zviuru makumi matatu nezvitanhatu, mutero waJehovha padziri waiva mombe makumi manomwe nembiri;
39 and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;
mbongoro dzaiva zviuru makumi matatu namazana mashanu, mutero waJehovha padziri wakanga uri mbongoro makumi matanhatu neimwe chete;
40 and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.
vanhu vaisvika zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu, mutero waJehovha pavari waiva vanhu makumi matatu navaviri.
41 And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Mozisi akapa mutero kuna Ereazari muprista somugove waJehovha, sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had divided, [taking it] from the men that served in the war,
Hafu yakanga iri yavaIsraeri, yakatsaurwa naMozisi kubva kuvarume vehondo,
43 (now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred,
hafu yeungano yaiva makwai zviuru mazana matatu namakumi matatu namanomwe, namazana mashanu,
44 and thirty-six thousand oxen,
mombe zviuru makumi matatu, nezvitanhatu,
45 and thirty thousand five hundred asses,
mbongoro dzaiva zviuru makumi matatu, namazana mashanu
46 and sixteen thousand human persons, )
uye vanhu vaiva zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu.
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.
Kubva pahafu yaiva yavaIsraeri, Mozisi akatsaura munhu mumwe chete kubva pavanhu makumi mashanu, chipfuwo chimwe chete kubva pazvipfuwo makumi mashanu, sezvakarayirwa naJehovha, akazvipa kuvaRevhi, vakanga vane basa rokuchengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha.
48 And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,
Ipapo machinda akanga ari vatariri vamapoka ehondo, vatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana vakaenda kuna Mozisi
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.
vakati kwaari, “Varanda venyu vaverenga varwi vari pasi pedu, hapana kana mumwe chete asipo.
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.
Saka tauya nechipo kuna Jehovha chezvishongo zvegoridhe zvakawanikwa nomumwe nomumwe wedu, zvishongo zvegoridhe, mhete dzomumaoko, mhete dzomunzeve nouketani hwomumutsipa kuti tizviyananisire pamberi paJehovha.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, all manner of wrought jewels.
Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakagamuchira kubva kwavari goridhe, zvinhu zvose zvakanga zvakaitwa noumhizha.
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.
Goridhe rose rakabva kuvatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana rakapiwa kuna Jehovha naMozisi naEreazari muprista rairema mashekeri zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu, namazana manomwe namakumi mashanu.
53 (The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.)
Murwi mumwe nomumwe akanga azvitorera zvake zvakapambwa.
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.
Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakagamuchira goridhe rakabva kuvatungamiri vezviuru nokuvatungamiri vamazana vakariisa muTende Rokusangana kuti chive chirangaridzo chavaIsraeri pamberi paJehovha.
