Tauanga 31

1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

2 Rapua he utu mo nga tama a Iharaira i nga Miriani: hei muri iho ka kohia koe ki tou iwi.

'Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites — afterwards thou art gathered unto thy people.'

3 Na ka korero a Mohi ki te iwi, ka mea, Whitiki etahi o koutou mo te whawhai, ka haere ai ki te tu i a Miriana ki te tohe i ta Ihowa utu i a Miriana.

And Moses speaketh unto the people, saying, 'Be ye armed some of you for the host, and they are against Midian, to put the vengeance of Jehovah on Midian;

4 Kia kotahi te mano o tenei iwi, o tenei iwi, o nga iwi katoa o iharaira, e unga ki te whawhai.

a thousand for a tribe — a thousand for a tribe, to all the tribes of Israel — ye do send to the host.'

5 Na ka wehea e ratou i roto i nga mano o Iharaira, he mano no ia iwi, tekau ma rua mano, rite tonu i te patu mo te whawhai.

And there are given out of the thousands of Israel a thousand for a tribe, twelve thousand armed ones of the host;

6 Na, ka unga ratou e Mohi ki te whawhai, he mano no tenei iwi, no tenei iwi, me Pinehaha tama a Eratara tohunga, ki te whawhai, me nga mea tapu ano, me nga tetere i tona ringa hei whakaoho.

and Moses sendeth them, a thousand for a tribe, to the host, them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the host; and the holy vessels, and the trumpets of the shouting, in his hand.

7 Na ka whawhai ratou ki a Miriana, ka pera me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi: a patua iho e ratou nga tane katoa.

And they war against Midian, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses, and slay every male;

8 I patua ano e ratou nga kingi o Miriana, i roto i te parekura; a Ewi ratou ko Rekeme, ko Turu, ko Huru, ko Repa, nga kingi tokorima o Miriana: i patua ano e ratou a Paraama, te tama a Peoro ki te hoari.

and the kings of Midian they have slain, besides their pierced ones, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam son of Beor, they have slain with the sword.

9 A whakaraua ana e nga tama a Iharaira nga wahine o Miriana, me a ratou kohungahunga; i tongohia ano a ratou kararehe katoa, hei taonga parau, me a ratou kahui katoa, me o ratou taonga katoa.

And the sons of Israel take captive the women of Midian, and their infants; and all their cattle, and all their substance, and all their wealth they have plundered;

10 Tahuna ake hoki e ratou ki te ahi o ratou pa katoa i noho ai ratou, me o ratou whare rangatira katoa.

and all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, they have burnt with fire.

11 A tangohia ana e ratou nga taonga katoa, me nga mea parau katoa, te tangata me te kararehe.

And they take all the spoil, and all the prey, among man and among beast;

12 A kawea ana e ratou ki a Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga, ki te whakaminenga ano hoki o nga tama a Iharaira, nga whakarau, me era mea parau, me nga taonga, ki te puni ki nga mania o Moapa, ki te wahi o Horano e tata ana ki Heriko.

and they bring in, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the company of the sons of Israel, the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan, [near] Jericho.

13 A ka puta a Mohi ratou ko Ereatara tohunga, ko nga ariki katoa o te whakaminenga ki te whakatau i a ratou ki waho o te puni;

And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the company, go out to meet them, unto the outside of the camp,

14 Na ka riri a Mohi ki nga rangatira o te ope, ki nga rangatira o nga mano, ki nga rangatira ano hoki o nga rau, i haere mai nei i te whawhai.

and Moses is wroth against the inspectors of the force, chiefs of the thousands, and chiefs of the hundreds, who are coming in from the host of the battle.

15 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Kua whakaorangia e koutou nga wahine katoa?

And Moses saith unto them, 'Have ye kept alive every female?

16 Nana, ko nga mea enei nana i tutu ai nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa i to Peoro ra, he mea tohutohu na Paraama, i pa ai te whiu ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa.

lo, they — they have been to the sons of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and the plague is in the company of Jehovah.

17 Na reira patua aianei nga tane katoa i roto i nga kohungahunga, patua hoki nga wahine katoa kua mohio, kua takoto ki te tane.

'And now, slay ye every male among the infants, yea, every woman known of man by the lying of a male ye have slain;

18 Ko nga kohungahunga wahine katoa ia, kahore nei i mohio, i takoto ki te tane, whakaorangia ma koutou.

and all the infants among the women, who have not known the lying of a male, ye have kept alive for yourselves.

19 Ko koutou hoki, me noho ki waho o te puni, kia whitu nga ra: ko nga tangata katoa i patu i te tangata, me nga mea katoa hoki i pa ki te tangata i patua, me pure koutou i a koutou, me a koutou whakarau i te toru o nga ra, i te whitu hoki o nga ra.

'And ye, encamp ye at the outside of the camp seven days — any who hath slain a person, and any who hath come against a pierced one, ye cleanse yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day — ye and your captives;

20 Me pure ano hoki nga kakahu katoa, me nga oko hiako, me nga mea katoa i hanga ki te huruhuru koati, me nga oko rakau katoa.

and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats' [hair], and every wooden vessel, ye yourselves cleanse.'

21 I mea ano a Ereatara tohunga ki nga tangata whawhai, i haere ki te riri, Ko te tikanga tenei o te ture i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi;

And Eleazar the priest saith unto the men of the host who go in to battle, 'This [is] the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses:

22 Ko te koura anake, me te hiriwa, ko te parahi, ko te rino, ko te tine, me te mata,

only, the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

23 Ko nga mea katoa e puta i te ahi, me tuku na roto i te ahi, a ka kore te poke: otiia me pure ano ki te wai o te wehenga: a, ko nga mea katoa e kore e puta i te ahi, me tuku na roto i te wai.

every thing which may go into fire, ye cause to pass over through fire, and it hath been clean; only, with the water of separation it is cleansed, and all that may not go into fire, ye cause to pass over through water;

24 A me horoi o koutou kakahu i te whitu o nga ra, a ka kore o koutou poke, a hei muri iho ka tomo ki te puni.

and ye have washed your garments on the seventh day, and have been clean, and afterwards ye come in unto the camp.'

25 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

26 Tirohia te maha o te taonga parau i riro mai, o te tangata, o te kararehe, e korua ko Ereatara tohunga, e nga matua ariki ano hoki o nga whare o te whakaminenga:

'Take up the sum of the prey of the captives, among man and among beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the company;

27 Wehea hoki nga taonga parau kia rua nga wahi; ma te hunga i hapai i te pakanga, i haere atu ki te whawhai, ma te whakaminenga katoa ano.

and thou hast halved the prey between those handling the battle who go out to the host and all the company;

28 Tangohia ano hoki he takoha ma Ihowa i nga tangata i whawhai, i haere atu na ki te riri: kia kotahi wairua i roto i nga rau e rima, o te tangata, ratou tahi ko te kau, ko te kaihe, ko nga hipi hoki.

and thou hast raised a tribute to Jehovah from the men of war, who go out to the host, one body out of five hundred, of man, and of the herd, and of the asses, and of the flock;

29 Me tango i roto i ta ratou hawhe, ka hoatu ai ki a Ereatara, ki te tohunga, hei whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa.

from their half ye do take, and thou hast given to Eleazar the priest — the heave-offering of Jehovah.

30 Me tango ano e koe i roto i te hawhe a nga tama a Iharaira, kia kotahi wahi i roto i te rima tekau, o te tangata, o te kau, o te kaihe, o te hipi, ara o nga kararehe katoa, ka hoatu ai ma nga Riwaiti, ma nga kaitiaki o nga mea o te tapenakara o Ihowa.

'And from the sons of Israel's half thou dost take one possession out of fifty, of man, of the herd, of the asses, and of the flock, of all the cattle, and thou hast given them to the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.'

31 Na peratia ana e Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

And Moses doth — Eleazar the priest also — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

32 A ko te taonga, ko te toenga iho o nga mea i riro parau i nga tangata i whawhai, e ono rau e whitu tekau ma rima mano hipi,

And the prey, the residue of the spoil which the people of the host have spoiled, is of the flock six hundred thousand, and seventy thousand, and five thousand;

33 E whitu tekau ma rua mano hoki nga kau,

and of the herd two and seventy thousand;

34 E ono tekau ma tahi mano nga kaihe,

and of asses one and sixty thousand;

35 E toru tekau ma rua mano nga tangata, ara nga wahine kahore ano i mohio noa, i takoto noa, ki te tane.

and of human beings — of the women who have not known the lying of a male — all the persons [are] two and thirty thousand.

36 A, ko tera hawhe, ko te wahi a te hunga i haere ki te whawhai, e toru rau e toru tekau ma whitu mano e rima rau te maha o nga hipi:

And the half — the portion of those who go out into the host — the number of the flock is three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, and seven thousand and five hundred.

37 A, ko te takoha ma Ihowa o nga hipi e ono rau e whitu tekau ma rima.

And the tribute to Jehovah of the sheep is six hundred five and seventy;

38 E toru tekau ma ono mano nga kau; a, ko te takoha ma Ihowa e whitu tekau ma rua.

and the herd [is] six and thirty thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] two and seventy;

39 E toru tekau mano e rima rau nga kaihe; a, ko te takoha ma Ihowa e ono tekau ma tahi.

and the asses [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] one and sixty;

40 A ko nga tangata tekau ma ono mano; a, ko te takoha ma Ihowa, e toru tekau ma rua tangata.

and the human beings [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] two and thirty persons.

41 Na ka hoatu e Mohi te takoha, te whakahere hapahapai ma Ihowa, ki a Ereatara tohunga, ka peratia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

And Moses giveth the tribute — Jehovah's heave-offering — to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

42 Na, no roto i te hawhe a nga tama a Iharaira i wehea nei e Mohi i roto i ta te hunga i whawhai,

And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses halved from the men who war —

43 Ko te hawhe hoki a te whakaminenga, e toru rau e toru tekau ma whitu mano e rima rau hipi,

and the company's half is, of the flock three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred;

44 E toru tekau ma ono mano nga kau,

and of the herd six and thirty thousand;

45 E toru tekau mano e rima rau nga kaihe,

and of asses thirty thousand and five hundred;

46 Kotahi tekau ma ono mano nga tangata;

and of human beings sixteen thousand —

47 I tangohia e Mohi i roto i te hawhe a nga tama a Iharaira, kotahi wahi i roto i te rima tekau, o te tangata, o te kararehe; a hoatu ana ki nga Riwaiti i tiaki nei i nga mea o te tapenakara o Ihowa; i peratia ano me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mo hi.

Moses taketh from the sons of Israel's half the one possession from the fifty, of man and of beast, and giveth them to the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

48 Na ka haere mai ki a Mohi nga rangatira mano o te ope, nga rangatira mano ratou ko nga rangatira rau:

And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host hath, (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near unto Moses,

49 A ka mea ki a Mohi, Kua tirohia e au pononga te tokomaha o nga tangata i whawhai nei i raro i o matou ringa, a kahore i ngaro tetahi o matou.

and they say unto Moses, 'Thy servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who [are] with us, and not a man of us hath been missed;

50 Koia i kawea mai ai e matou he whakahere ma Ihowa, e ia tangata, e ia tangata, tana i whiwhi ai, etahi mea koura, etahi mekameka, poroporo, mowhiti, whakakai, heitiki hoki, hei whakamarie mo o matou wairua ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

and we bring near Jehovah's offering, each that which he hath found, vessels of gold — chain, and bracelet, seal-ring, [ear] -ring, and bead — to make atonement for ourselves before Jehovah.'

51 Na ka tangohia e Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga te koura i a ratou, he mea mahi katoa.

And Moses receiveth — Eleazar the priest also — the gold from them, every made vessel,

52 A kotahi tekau ma ono mano e whitu rau e rima tekau hekere o te koura katoa o te whakahere i tapaea e ratou ki a Ihowa, o ta nga rangatira mano ratou ko nga rangatira rau.

and all the gold of the heave-offering which they have lifted up to Jehovah is sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands, and from heads of the hundreds;

53 I pahuatia hoki e nga tangata i whakawhai etahi taonga, tena mona ake, tena mona ake.

(the men of the host have spoiled each for himself);

54 Na tangohia ana e Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga te koura a nga rangatira o nga mano, o nga rau, a kawea ana e raua ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei whakamahara mo nga tama a Iharaira ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

and Moses taketh — Eleazar the priest also — the gold from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they bring it in unto the tent of meeting — a memorial for the sons of Israel before Jehovah.
