Numbers 31
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
“Folokin nu sin mwet Midian ke ma elos tuh oru nu sin mwet Israel. Toko, na kom fah misa.”
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD’S vengeance on Midian.
Ouinge Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Akola nu ke mweun, tuh kowos fah ku in tuyak lain mwet Midian ac kalyaelos ke sripen ma elos oru nu sin LEUM GOD.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
Kowos in supwala kais sie tausin mwet mweun ke kais sie sruf lun Israel.”
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Ouinge sie tausin mwet solla liki kais sie sruf, orala pisa lulap se ke mwet singoul luo tausin su akola nu ke mweun.
6 And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
Moses el supwalosla nu ke mweun ye koko lal Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar mwet tol, su us kufwa ke lohm nuknuk mutal ac mwe ukuk in sulkakin pacl in mweun.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
Elos mutawauk mweuni mwet Midian oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ac onela mukul nukewa,
8 And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain; Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
weang tokosra limekosr lun Midian inge: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, ac Reba. Elos oayapa unilya Balaam wen natul Beor.
9 And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
Mwet Israel elos sruokya mutan Midian ac tulik natulos, oayapa cow ac un sheep ac nani natulos, ac usla ma lalos nukewa.
10 And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
Elos esukak siti nukewa selos, ac nien aktuktuk selos.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
Elos eis ma wap nukewa, wi mwet sruoh ac kosro uh,
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
ac use ma inge nu yorol Moses ac Eleazar ac mwet Israel nukewa su muta in nien aktuktuk se in acn mwesis lun Moab, kutulap in Infacl Jordan, tulanang Jericho.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
Moses, Eleazar, ac mwet kol nukewa saya lun mwet Israel elos illa liki nien aktuktuk in osun nu sin mwet mweun.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, which came from the service of the war.
Moses el kasrkusrakak sin mwet kol lun un mwet mweun, captain lun tausin ac captain lun foko, su foloko liki mweun uh.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
El siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku lela mutan inge nukewa in moul na?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD.
Esam lah mutan inge pa tuh ukwe na ma Balaam el fahk nu selos, na in acn Peor elos kolla mwet uh in tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD. Pa sis mwe lokoalok upa sac tuh sikyak nu sin mwet lun God.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Ke ma inge, uniya tulik mukul nukewa, oayapa mutan nukewa su etu mukul tari,
18 But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
tusruktu karinganang nu suwos tulik mutan nukewa ac mutan su soenna etu mukul.
19 And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.
Inge kowos nukewa su uniya kutena mwet, ku pusralla kutena mano misa, enenu in muta likin nien aktuktuk uh ke len itkosr. Ke len se aktolu ac len se akitkosr, kowos in aknasnasye kowos sifacna ac mutan ma sruhu ke mweun.
20 And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ [hair], and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves.
Kowos oayapa enenu in aknasnasye nuknuk lowos nukewa ac ma nukewa ma orekla ke kulun kosro, unen nani, ku ma orekla ke sak.”
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded Moses:
Eleazar mwet tol el fahk nu sin mukul nukewa su foloko liki mweun, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses:
22 howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Gold, silver, bronze, osra, tin, ac lead —
23 every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.
ma nukewa ma tia motok e, ac fah aknasnasyeyuk in e uh. Tusruktu enenu pac in aknasnasyeyuk ke kof in aknasnas. Ac kutena ma su motok e, ac fah isosyang nu in kof sac.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
Ke len se akitkosr kowos fah ohlla nuknuk lowos, na kowos fah nasnasla, ac kowos fah ku in ilyak nu in nien aktuktuk.”
25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the congregation:
“Kom ac Eleazar, wi mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel, in oakla ma nukewa ma utuku ke mweun, wi mwet sruoh ac un kosro.
27 and divide the prey into two parts; between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation:
Kitalik ma utukeni nu ke ip luo, na sang tafu lun mwet mweun, ac tafu lun mwet Israel ngia.
28 and levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks:
Ke ip lun mwet mweun an, kom fah srela sie liki inmasrlon kais lumfoko nukewa tuh in mwe takma nu sin LEUM GOD— ke mwet sruoh, ac ke un cow, donkey, sheep ac nani.
29 take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for the LORD’S heave offering.
Sang ma ingan nu sel Eleazar mwet tol, tuh in sie mwe sang mutal nu sin LEUM GOD.
30 And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, [even] of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
Ke ip lun mwet nukewa saya, kom fah srela sie liki kais lumngaul nukewa ke mwet sruoh, ac oru oapana nu ke un cow, donkey, sheep, ac nani. Sang ma inge nu sin mwet Levi su liyaung Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Moses ac Eleazar oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
32 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
Pisen ma wap nukewa ma un mwet mweun uh sruokya oasr ke onfoko itngoul limekosr tausin sheep ac nani,
33 and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
itngoul luo tausin cow,
34 and threescore and one thousand asses,
onngoul sie tausin donkey,
35 and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
ac tolngoul luo tausin mutan su tia etu mukul.
36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep:
Ip lun mwet mweun uh, oasr ke tolfoko tolngoul itkosr tausin lumfoko sheep ac nani,
37 and the LORD’S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
ac ip kac ma itukyang nu sin LEUM GOD oasr ke onfoko itngoul limekosr sheep ac nani.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and twelve.
Pisen cow uh oasr ke tausin tolngoul onkosr, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac oasr ke itngoul luo.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and one.
Pisen donkey uh oasr ke tolngoul tausin lumfoko, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac oasr onngoul soko.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom the LORD’S tribute was thirty and two persons.
Pisen mutan fusr uh oasr ke tausin singoul onkosr, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac uh pa mutan tolngoul luo.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Moses el sang nu sel Eleazar takma inge, su sie mwe sang mutal nu sin LEUM GOD, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin.
42 And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred,
Ac ip se lun mwet Israel, ma Moses el srela liki ma lun un mwet mweun uh,
43 (now the congregation’s half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
oasr tolfoko tolngoul itkosr tausin lumfoko sheep ac nani,
44 and thirty and six thousand beeves,
tolngoul onkosr tausin cow,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
tolngoul tausin lumfoko donkey,
46 and sixteen thousand persons; )
ac singoul onkosr tausin mutan fusr.
47 even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Liki ip lun mwet Israel, Moses el eisla kais sie liki lumngaul nukewa, ke mwet sruoh ac ke kosro uh, ac el sang ma inge nu sin mwet Levi su karingin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin.
48 And the officers which were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
Toko mwet kol su karingin un mwet mweun elos som nu yorol Moses
49 and they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
ac fahk, “Leum se, kut oakla mwet mweun lasr, ac wangin sie selos tuhlac.
50 And we have brought the LORD’S oblation, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, earrings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.
Ke ma inge kut use mwe yun gold, mwe lohlpo, sein gold, ring, yaring, ah in walwal, ma kais sie sesr sifani. Kut sang ma inge nu sin LEUM GOD tuh in mwe srui lasr ke El molikutla.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
Moses ac Eleazar eis mwe naweyuk inge nukewa ma orekla ke gold.
52 And all the gold of the heave offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
Toasriyen ma inge nukewa ma mwetkol lun mwet mweun orani, alukela paun angfoko.
53 ([For] the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)
Elos su tia oaoa in mwet kol lun mwet mweun elos sruokya na ma wap lalos 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, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
Ouinge Moses ac Eleazar usla gold uh nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tuh LEUM GOD Elan loango mwet Israel.
