Milu Pareinae 31
1 BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
2 Isarel catounnaw hanlah Midian taminaw koevah, moipathung nateh, hahoi teh na miphunnaw koevah na ceikhai han telah a ti.
“Take vengeance on the Midianites for what they did to the Israelites. After doing that, you will die and be gathered to your people.”
3 Hottelah Mosi ni taminaw pueng hah a dei pouh teh, Midian taminaw koevah, BAWIPA ni a moipathung hanelah puengcang kâmahrawk awh nateh, midiannaw tuk hanelah kamthaw naseh.
So Moses spoke to the people. He said, “Arm some of your men for war so they may go against Midian and carry out Yahweh's vengeance on it.
4 Isarel miphunnaw pueng thung dawk hoi miphun buet touh dawk hoi tarantuk hanlah tami 1,000 rip na patoun han telah a ti.
Every tribe throughout Israel must send a thousand soldiers to war.”
5 Hottelah Isarelnaw moikapap thung dawk hoi tarantuknae koe cei hanelah, miphun buet touh thung dawk hoi tami tong touh rip a tâ awh teh asumkum tami 12,000 touh a tâco sak awh.
So out of Israel's thousands of men, one thousand was provided from each tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.
6 Hottelah Mosi ni a miphun tangkuem hoiyah, 1,000 rip hoi vaihma Eleazar capa Phinehas ka thoung e hlaamnaw hoi kâhruetcuetnae mongka hah a sin awh teh, tarantuknae koe a ceisak awh.
Then Moses sent them to battle, a thousand from every tribe, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and with some articles from the holy place and the trumpets in his possession for sounding signals.
7 BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah Midiannaw hah a tuk awh teh tongpa pueng a thei awh.
They fought against Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses. They killed every man.
8 A thei awh e naw thung dawk Midiannaw e siangpahrang hai a bawk van. Midian siangpahrang panga, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur hoi Reba tinaw doeh. Beor capa Balaam hai tahloi hoi a thei awh.
They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their dead: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor, with the sword.
9 Hahoi Isarel catounnaw ni Midian napuinaw hah san lah koung a hrawi awh. A saringhunaw pueng, a tuhunaw pueng, a hnopainaw pueng, hah lawphno lah koung a la pouh awh.
The army of Israel took captive the women of Midian, their children, all their cattle, all their flocks, and all their goods. They took these as plunder.
10 A onae khonaw pueng hoi a roenae naw pueng hmai koung a sawi pouh awh teh,
They burned all their cities where they lived and all their camps.
11 tami hoi saring, san hoi lawphnonaw pueng teh koung a ceikhai awh.
They took all the plunder and prisoners, both people and animals.
12 Hahoi san hoi man e naw pueng hoi lawphnonaw teh Mosi hoi vaihma Eleazar hoi Isarel catounnaw koevah, Jeriko namran Jordan palang teng Moab tanghling a roe awhnae koe a phakhai awh.
They brought the prisoners, the plunder, and the captured things to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the community of the people of Israel. They brought these to the camp in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan near Jericho.
13 Hottelah, Mosi hoi vaihma Eleazar hoi taminaw pueng ni longkha koehoi a dawn awh.
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp.
14 Hatei, Mosi teh ransabawi 1,000 touh kahrawikung, 100 touh kahrawikung kacuenaw hoi tarantuknae koehoi kabannaw lathueng vah a lungkhuek.
But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from battle.
15 Hottelah Mosi ni ahnimouh koe, napuinaw teh a hring lah na hlung awh na maw.
Moses said to them, “Have you let all the women live?
16 Khenhaw, Balaam khokhangnae kecu dawk Peor kong dawkvah, Isarel catounnaw ni BAWIPA taranlahoi kâtapoenae katâcawtsakkungnaw teh hete napuinaw doeh. BAWIPA e taminaw koe lacik a pha sak awh toe.
Look, these women caused the people of Israel, through Balaam's advice, to commit sin against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, when the plague spread among Yahweh's community.
17 Hatdawkvah, camonaw thung dawk tongpanaw hah koung thet awh nateh, tongpanaw ni yo a ikhai e napuinaw hai thet awh.
Now then, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has ever slept with a man.
18 Hatei, camohnawn e napuinaw tami ni a ikhai hoeh raenaw pueng teh, namamouh hanlah pâhlung awh.
But take for yourselves all the young girls who have never slept with a man.
19 Hahoi longkha koe hnin sari touh roe awh. Bang patetlae tami nakunghai tami ka thet e hoi tami ro kateknaw pueng teh, apâthum hnin hoi asari hnin teh namamouh hoi na sannaw hoi kamthoung awh.
You must camp outside the camp of Israel for seven days. All of you who have killed anyone and or have touched any dead person—you must purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day—you and your prisoners.
20 Kamthoupnae pueng hoi, phaivuen hoi sak e hnonaw pueng kong dawk be na kamthoung awh han telah atipouh.
You must purify every garment and everything made of animal hide and goats' hair, and everything made of wood.”
21 Hahoi, vaihma Eleazar ni hai tarantuknae koe ka cet e ransanaw hah a kaw teh, hethateh BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah kâ a poe e kâlawk doeh.
Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone to war, “This is a decreed law that Yahweh has given to Moses:
22 Sui, ngun, hoi rahum, hoi sum, samphei, hoi konlawk,
The gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead,
23 bangpatete hnonaw pueng haiyah, hmai ni a kak thai hoeh e pueng, hmai dawk pou ceisak vaiteh a thoung han. Bangpatet nakunghai yah pâsu hoi thoungthainae tui hoi pâsu vaiteh thoungsak hanlah ao. Hahoi hmai dawk phum han kahawihoehnaw pueng teh, khohna hoi tui dawk pekpâsu hanelah ao.
and everything that resists fire, you must put it through the fire, and it will become clean. You must then purify those things with the water of cleansing. Whatever cannot go through the fire you must cleanse with that water.
24 Hahoi asari hnin vah na hni na pâsu awh vaiteh, hahoi doeh roenae hmuen koe na kâen awh han.
You must wash your clothes on the seventh day, and then you will become clean. Afterward you may come into Israel's camp.”
25 BAWIPA ni Mosi a pato teh,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
26 nang nama hoi vaihma Eleazar hoi tamihu kaukkung kahrawikungnaw hoi hnopai na lawp awh e tami hoi saring hah be touk awh.
“Count all the plundered things that were taken, both people and animals. You, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community's ancestor's clans
27 Lawphno kahni touh lah kapek awh. Tarantuknae koe ka cet ni teh tarankatuknaw hane hoi tamimaya hanlah,
must divide the plunder into two parts. Divide it between the soldiers who went out to battle and all the rest of the community.
28 hahoi tarantuknae koe kacetnaw e a hma thung dawk hoi tami hoi, maito, hoi la, hoi tu, hoi kahring e pueng dawk hoi 500 touh dawk buet touh BAWIPA han a ham lah ta hanlah na kapek han.
Then levy a tax to be given to me from the soldiers who went out to battle. This tax must be one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or goats.
29 Hotnaw teh lat awh nateh, BAWIPA hanlah kahek thuengnae vaihma Eleazar hah na poe awh han.
Take this tax from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest for an offering to be presented to me.
30 Isarelnaw ni a ham awh e a tangawn thung dawk hoi tami, maito, la, tu totouh moithang phun 50 touh dawk buet touh, na la vaiteh, BAWIPA e lukkareiim ka ring e Levihnaw hah na poe awh han, telah a ti.
Also from the people of Israel's half, you must take one out of every fifty—from the persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats. Give these to the Levites who take care of my tabernacle.”
31 Hottelah BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah Mosi hoi vaihma Eleazar ni a sak roi.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
32 Ransanaw ni a man awh e lawphno touksin laipalah a la awh e teh, tu 675,000,
Now the plunder that remained of what the soldiers had taken was 675,000 sheep,

The persons were sixteen thousand women of whom Yahweh's tax was thirty-two.
41 BAWIPA ni Mosi kâ a poe e patetlah ham, BAWIPA koe kahek thuengnae Mosi ni vaihma Eleazar a poe.
Moses took the tax that was to be an offering presented to Yahweh. He gave it to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
42 Mosi ni tarankatuknaw e a ham koung a poe. Isarelnaw e a ham teh,
As for the people of Israel's half that Moses had taken from the soldiers who had gone to war—
43 tu 337,500,
the community's half was 337,500 sheep,
44 maito 36,000,
thirty-six thousand oxen,

and sixteen thousand women.

From the people of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, both of people and animals. He gave them to the Levites who kept care of Yahweh's tabernacle, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
48 Hahoi ransanaw thung dawk tami 100 kaukkungnaw, 1,000 kaukkungnaw ni Mosi koe a hnai awh teh,
Then the officers of the army, the commanders over thousands and the captains over hundreds, came to Moses.
49 Mosi koevah na sannaw niyah kaimae kut dawk kaawm tarankatuknaw hah ka touk awh teh kakuep hoeh e apihai kaawm awh hoeh.
They said to him, “Your servants have counted the soldiers who are under our command, and not one man is missing.
50 Hatdawkvah, ka hring awh nahanlah BAWIPA hmalah yontha sak hanelah tamipueng ni lengkaleng a coe awh e sui hoi sak e, dingyin, laikaw, kuthrawt, hnongpacap, hnâpacap naw hah BAWIPA koe thueng hanelah ka thokhai awh toe telah atipouh.
We have brought Yahweh's offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before Yahweh.”
51 Mosi hoi vaihma Eleazar ni, sui hoi sak e puengcangnaw hah a la pouh.
Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them the gold and all the articles of craftsmanship.

Each soldier had taken plunder, each man for himself.
54 Hahoi Mosi hoi vaihma Eleazar ni 1,000 kahrawikung, 100 kahrawikungnaw e sui teh a la pouh teh, Isarel catounnaw pahnim hoeh nahanlah kamkhuengnae lukkareiim dawk BAWIPA hmalah a tâcokhai awh.
Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of thousands and captains of hundreds. They took it into the tent of meeting as a reminder of the people of Israel for Yahweh.
