Oekyuk 31
1 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Folokin nu sin mwet Midian ke ma elos tuh oru nu sin mwet Israel. Toko, na kom fah misa.”
Revenge first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so thou shalt be gathered to thy people.
3 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.
And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites.
4 Kowos in supwala kais sie tausin mwet mweun ke kais sie sruf lun Israel.”
Let a thousand men be chosen out of every tribe of Israel to be sent to the war.
5 Ouinge sie tausin mwet solla liki kais sie sruf, orala pisa lulap se ke mwet singoul luo tausin su akola nu ke mweun.
And they gave a thousand of every tribe, that is to say, twelve thousand men well appointed for battle.
6 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.
And Moses sent them with Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest, and he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.
7 Elos mutawauk mweuni mwet Midian oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ac onela mukul nukewa,
And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men.
8 weang tokosra limekosr lun Midian inge: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, ac Reba. Elos oayapa unilya Balaam wen natul Beor.
And their kings Evi, and Recem, and Sur, and Hur, and Rebe, five princes of the nation: Balaam also the son of Beer they killed with the sword.
9 Mwet Israel elos sruokya mutan Midian ac tulik natulos, oayapa cow ac un sheep ac nani natulos, ac usla ma lalos nukewa.
And they took their women, and their children captives, and all their cattle, and all their goods: and all their possessions they plundered:
10 Elos esukak siti nukewa selos, ac nien aktuktuk selos.
And all their cities, and their villages, and castles, they burned.
11 Elos eis ma wap nukewa, wi mwet sruoh ac kosro uh,
And they carried away the booty, and all that they had taken both of men and of beasts.
12 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.
And they brought them to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the children of Israel. But the rest of the things for use they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan over against Jericho.
13 Moses, Eleazar, ac mwet kol nukewa saya lun mwet Israel elos illa liki nien aktuktuk in osun nu sin mwet mweun.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 Moses el kasrkusrakak sin mwet kol lun un mwet mweun, captain lun tausin ac captain lun foko, su foloko liki mweun uh.
And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle,
15 El siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku lela mutan inge nukewa in moul na?
Said: Why have you saved the women?
16 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.
Are not these they, that deceived the children of Israel by the counsel of Balaam, and made you transgress against the Lord by the sin of Phogor, for which also the people was punished?
17 Ke ma inge, uniya tulik mukul nukewa, oayapa mutan nukewa su etu mukul tari,
Therefore kill all that are of the male sex, even of the children: and put to death the women, that have carnally known men.
18 tusruktu karinganang nu suwos tulik mutan nukewa ac mutan su soenna etu mukul.
But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:
19 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.
And stay without the camp seven days. He that hath killed a man, or touched one that is killed, shall be purified the third day and the seventh day.
20 Kowos oayapa enenu in aknasnasye nuknuk lowos nukewa ac ma nukewa ma orekla ke kulun kosro, unen nani, ku ma orekla ke sak.”
And of all the spoil, every garment, or vessel, or any thing made for use, of the skins, or hair of goats, or of wood, shall be purified.
21 Eleazar mwet tol el fahk nu sin mukul nukewa su foloko liki mweun, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses:
Eleazar also the priest spoke to the men of the army, that had fought, in this manner: This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord hath commanded Moses:
22 Gold, silver, bronze, osra, tin, ac lead —
Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lend, and tin,
23 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.
And all that may pass through the fire, shall be purified by fire, but whatsoever cannot abide the fire, shall be sanctified with the water of expiation:
24 Ke len se akitkosr kowos fah ohlla nuknuk lowos, na kowos fah nasnasla, ac kowos fah ku in ilyak nu in nien aktuktuk.”
And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp.
25 LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
And the Lord said to Moses:
26 “Kom ac Eleazar, wi mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel, in oakla ma nukewa ma utuku ke mweun, wi mwet sruoh ac un kosro.
Take the sum of the things that were taken both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest and the princes of the multitude:
27 Kitalik ma utukeni nu ke ip luo, na sang tafu lun mwet mweun, ac tafu lun mwet Israel ngia.
And thou shalt divide the spoil equally, between them that fought and went out to the war, and between the rest of the multitude.
28 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.
And thou shalt separate a portion to the Lord from them that fought and were in the battle, one soul of five hundred as well of persons as of oxen and asses and sheep.
29 Sang ma ingan nu sel Eleazar mwet tol, tuh in sie mwe sang mutal nu sin LEUM GOD.
And thou shalt give it to Eleazar the priest, because they are the firstfruits of the Lord.
30 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.”
Out of the moiety also of the children of Israel thou shalt take the fiftieth head of persons, and of oxen, and asses, and sheep, and of all beasts, and thou shalt give them to the Levites that watch in the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.
31 Moses ac Eleazar oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded.
32 Pisen ma wap nukewa ma un mwet mweun uh sruokya oasr ke onfoko itngoul limekosr tausin sheep ac nani,
And the spoil which the army had taken, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 itngoul luo tausin cow,
Seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 onngoul sie tausin donkey,
Sixty-one thousand asses:
35 ac tolngoul luo tausin mutan su tia etu mukul.
And thirty-two thousand persons of the female sex, that had not known men.
36 Ip lun mwet mweun uh, oasr ke tolfoko tolngoul itkosr tausin lumfoko sheep ac nani,
And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
37 ac ip kac ma itukyang nu sin LEUM GOD oasr ke onfoko itngoul limekosr sheep ac nani.
Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy-five sheep.
38 Pisen cow uh oasr ke tausin tolngoul onkosr, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac oasr ke itngoul luo.
And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen:
39 Pisen donkey uh oasr ke tolngoul tausin lumfoko, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac oasr onngoul soko.
Out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, sixty-one asses:
40 Pisen mutan fusr uh oasr ke tausin singoul onkosr, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac uh pa mutan tolngoul luo.
Out of the sixteen thousand persons, there fell to the portion of the Lord, thirty-two souls.
41 Moses el sang nu sel Eleazar takma inge, su sie mwe sang mutal nu sin LEUM GOD, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin.
And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him,
42 Ac ip se lun mwet Israel, ma Moses el srela liki ma lun un mwet mweun uh,
Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle.
43 oasr tolfoko tolngoul itkosr tausin lumfoko sheep ac nani,
But out of the half that fell to the rest of the multitude, that is to say, out of the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,

Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites that watched in the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded.
48 Toko mwet kol su karingin un mwet mweun elos som nu yorol Moses
And when the commanders of the army, and the tribunes and centurions were come to Moses, they said:
49 ac fahk, “Leum se, kut oakla mwet mweun lasr, ac wangin sie selos tuhlac.
We thy servants have reckoned up the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and not so much as one was wanting.
50 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.”
Therefore we offer as gifts to the Lord what gold every one of us could find in the booty, in garters and tablets, rings and bracelets, and chains, that thou mayst pray to the Lord for us.
51 Moses ac Eleazar eis mwe naweyuk inge nukewa ma orekla ke gold.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds,
52 Toasriyen ma inge nukewa ma mwetkol lun mwet mweun orani, alukela paun angfoko.
In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions.
53 Elos su tia oaoa in mwet kol lun mwet mweun elos sruokya na ma wap lalos uh.
For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own.
54 Ouinge Moses ac Eleazar usla gold uh nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tuh LEUM GOD Elan loango mwet Israel.
And that which was received they brought into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
