Kwan 31
1 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 “In kaachiel gi jo-Israel dhi uked gi jo-Midian, eka bangʼe ibiro tho miluw bangʼ kwereni.”
Exact thou the avenging of the sons of Israel, from the Midianites, —and, afterwards, shalt thou be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk.
3 Omiyo Musa nowacho ne jo-Israel niya, “Yieruru jou moko mondo odhi oked gi jo-Midian kendo gitiek mirimb Jehova Nyasaye kuomgi.
So Moses spake unto the people saying, Arm ye from among you men, for the war, and let them go against Midian, to render the avenging of Yahweh upon Midian.
4 Goluru ji alufu achiel achiel moa e dhoot ka dhoot mar Israel.”
A thousand from each tribe, —of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send forth unto the war.
5 Omiyo ji alufu apar gariyo noikore ne lweny, kowuok e dhout Israel duto ka gigolo ji alufu achiel achiel.
And there volunteered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of each tribe, —twelve thousand, armed for war.
6 Musa noorogi e lweny ji alufu achiel e dhoot ka dhoot, ka gin gi Finehas wuod Eliazar, ma jadolo, mane otingʼo gik moa ei kama ler mar lemo kod turumbete michiwogo ranyisi.
And Moses sent them a thousand of each tribe to the war, —them, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary, and the alarm trumpets, in his hand.
7 Negikedo gi Midian, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa, kendo neginego chwo duto.
So they made war upon Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses, and slew every male:
8 Moko kuom joma nonegi ne gin Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur kod Reba mane gin ruodhi abich mag Midian. Bende neginego Balaam wuod Beor gi ligangla.
and the kings of Midian, slew they besides their other slain namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian, —Balaam also, son of Beor, slew they with the sword.
9 Jo-Israel nomako mond jo-Midian kod nyithindo kendo ne giyako kweth mag jamni, dhok, kod gik moko duto mag jo-Midian.
And the sons of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones, —all their cattle also and all their flocks and all their substance, carried they off as a prey;
10 Ne giwangʼo miech jo-Midian mane gidakie, kaachiel gi kuondegi mag bworo.
all their cities also in their sites, and all their encampments, burned they up with fire.
11 Negikawo gik moko duto ma oyaki kod mane ope, kaachiel gi ji kod jamni,
Then took they all the spoil, and all the booty, —both of man and beast;
12 kendo negikelo joma ne omaki, gik mane ope kod mane oyaki ne Musa gi Eliazar ma jadolo kod oganda jo-Israel e kargi mar bworo mantiere e pewe Moab, man but Jordan loka mar Jeriko.
and brought in unto Moses and unto Eleazar the priest and unto the assembly of the sons of Israel—the captives and the booty, and the spoil unto the camp, —unto the waste plains of Moab, which are by Jordan, near Jericho.
13 Musa gi Eliazar jadolo kod jotend oganda duto nodhi mondo orom kodgi e oko mar kambi.
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly, went forth to meet them, —unto the outside of the camp.
14 Musa nokecho gi jotend lweny duto; mago mane otelo ne migawo mar lweny mar alufe alufe kod mag miche miche mane odwogo koa e lweny.
Then was Moses sore displeased with the officers of the force, —the princes of thousands, and the princes of hundreds who were coming in from the warring host.
15 Nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo useyiene mon mondo obed mangima?”
And Moses said unto them, —Have ye saved alive every female?
16 Gin e joma noluwo puonj Balaam kendo gin ema negimiyo oganda mar jo-Israel oweyo Jehova Nyasaye kuom gima notimore Peor, mane omiyo masira onego jo-Jehova Nyasaye.
Lo! they, became unto the sons of Israel, by the advice of Balaam, the cause of daring acts of treachery against Yahweh, over the affair of Peor, —and then came the plague against the assembly of Yahweh!
17 Omiyo neguru yawuowi duto. Kendo uneg dhako moro amora moseriwore gi dichwo,
Now, therefore, slay ye every male among the young, —every woman also that hath cohabited with man, slay ye.
18 to uwe nyiri duto mapok ongʼeyo chwo.
But all the young of womankind that have, not cohabited with man, preserve alive for yourselves.
19 “Un duto ma usenego ngʼato angʼata kata mulo ngʼato angʼata motho nyaka ubed oko mar kambi kuom ndalo abiriyo. To e odiechiengʼ mar adek kod mar abiriyo nyaka upwodhru uwegi kendo upwodh jogo mumako.
Ye, then, pitch outside the camp, for seven days, —whosoever hath killed a person and whoever hath touched the slain, cleanse yourselves (from sin) on the third day and on the seventh day ye and your captives,
20 Pwodhuru lewni duto kaachiel gi gimoro amora molos gi pien, molos gi yie diel kata mago molos gi bao.”
Every garment also, and every article of skin and every thing made of goat’s-hair, and every article of wood, shall ye cleanse (from sin).
21 Eka Eliazar jadolo nowacho ne jolweny mane odhi e lweny niya, “Chik mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo Musa ema:
Then said Eleazar the priest unto the men of the host, who had been to the war: This, is the statute of the law, which Yahweh hath commanded Moses:
22 Gik machalo gi dhahabu, fedha, mula, nyinyo, chuma
Surely the gold and the silver, —the bronze the iron, the tin and the lead,
23 kod gimoro amora ma mach ok nyal wangʼo noleny e mach, eka enopwodhgi mi gibed maler. To bende nyaka luokgi gi pi mondo gibed maler. Omiyo gimoro amora ma mach ok nyal lenyo nyaka luok gi pigno.
whatsoever thing can go into fire, ye shall pass through fire and it shall be clean, only with the water of separation, shall ye cleanse it (from sin). But whatsoever cannot go into fire, ye shall pass through water.
24 Kochopo odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo to ulwok lepu kendo ubiro bedo maler. Bangʼe unyalo biro e kambi.”
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and be clean, —and after-wards, shall ye come into the camp.
25 Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa niya,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
26 “In gi Eliazar jadolo kod jotend anywola mag oganda nyaka kwan ji duto kod jamni mane ope.
Reckon thou up the sum of the booty that was captured, both of man and of beast, —thou and Eleazar the priest, and the ancestral heads of the assembly;
27 Nyaka upogi gik mane ope maromre ne joma nodhi e lweny kod joma nodongʼ.
and divide the booty into two parts, between them who took upon them the war, who went out in the host, —and all the [rest of the] assembly.
28 Kuom mago mopogne jolweny mano kedo, goluru ni Jehova Nyasaye achiel kuom mia abich bed ni gin ji, dhok, punde, rombe kata diek.
Then shalt thou levy a tribute unto Yahweh—from the men of war, who went forth in the host, one living thing, out of five hundred, —of the human beings, and of the herd, and of the asses and of the flock:
29 Kawuru nus mar pokni kendo umi Eliazar jadolo kaka chiwo ne Jehova Nyasaye.
out of their half, shall ye take [them], —and thou shall give [them] unto Eleazar the priest as a heave-offering unto Yahweh.
30 Kuom nus mar pok jo-Israel kawuru achiel kuom piero abich, bed ni gin ji, dhok, punde, rombe, diek kata jamni mamoko. Chiwgi ne jo-Lawi ma tijgi en rito hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.”
And out of the half allotted to the sons of Israel, shalt thou take one allotted portion out of fifty of the human beings, of the herd, of the asses and of the flock of all the cattle, —and shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the habitation of Yahweh.
31 Omiyo Musa kod Eliazar jadolo notimo kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
32 Kuom gik mane ope, jolweny nokawo rombe alufu mia auchiel gi piero abiriyo gabich,
And it came to pass that the booty, over and above the prey which the people of the host had seized, was, —of the flock, six hundred and seventy-five thousand;
33 dhok alufu piero abiriyo gariyo,
and, of the herd, seventy-two thousand;
34 punde alufu piero auchiel gachiel,
and, of the asses, sixty-one thousand;
35 kod nyiri alufu piero adek gariyo mane pok ongʼeyo chwo.
and, of the human persons, even of the woman-kind who had not cohabited with man, —all the persons, thirty-two thousand.
36 Nus mar gik mane ope mane omi joma ne odhi kedo e lweny ne gin: rombe alufu mia adek gi piero adek gabiriyo gi mia abich,
And the half, the share of them who had gone forth in the host, was, —the number of the flock—three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred;
37 pok mar Jehova Nyasaye ne gin rombe mia auchiel gi piero abiriyo gabich;
and so, the tribute unto Yahweh, out of the flock, was—six hundred and seventy-five;
38 kuom dhok alufu piero adek gauchiel, pok mar Jehova Nyasaye ne gin dhok piero abiriyo gariyo;
and the herd, thirty-six thousand, —and the tribute of them unto Yahweh—seventy-two;
39 kuom punde alufu piero adek gi mia abich, pok mar Jehova Nyasaye ne gin punde piero auchiel gachiel;
and the asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, —and the tribute of them unto Yahweh, sixty-one;
40 kuom ji alufu apar gauchiel, pok mar Jehova Nyasaye ne gin ji piero adek gariyo.
and the human persons, sixteen thousand, —and the tribute of them unto Yahweh, thirty-two persons.
41 Musa nomiyo Eliazar jadolo ma kor Jehova Nyasaye, kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochiko Musa.
And Moses gave the tribute—the heave-offering of Yahweh, unto Eleazar the priest, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
42 Nus mar pok mar jo-Israel mane Musa ogolo kuom joma nodhi e lweny ne chalo kama:
And, of the half, allotted unto the sons of Israel, —which Moses halved away from the men who had gone out in the host,
43 nus mar pok mar oganda ne gin rombe alufu mia adek gi piero adek gabiriyo gi mia abich,
the half allotted unto the assembly, was—of the flock, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, and five hundred;
44 dhok alufu piero adek gauchiel,
and, of the herd, six and thirty thousand;
45 punde alufu piero adek gi mia abich,
and, of asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;
46 kod ji alufu apar gauchiel.
and, human persons, sixteen thousand.
47 Kuom nus pok mar jo-Israel, Musa noyiero achiel kuom piero abich mar ji kod jamni, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nochike, mi nomiyogi jo-Lawi, ma tijgi ne en rito hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
So then Moses took—out of the half belonging to the sons of Israel the allotted portion one out of fifty, of the human beings and of the beasts, —and gave them unto the Levites, the keepers of the charge of the habitation of Yahweh, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
48 Eka jotelo mane orito migepe mag jolweny, jotelo mag alufe alufe kod jotelo mag miche miche, nodhi ir Musa
Then came near unto Moses the officers who belonged unto the thousands of the host, —the princes of thousands and the princes of hundreds;
49 mi owachone niya, “Jotichni osekwano kar romb jolweny man e lwetwa, kendo onge kata achiel kuomgi molal.
and said unto Moses, Thy servants have reckoned up the sum of the men of war who are in our hand, —and there is not missed from among us, a man!
50 Omiyo wasekelo mich ne Jehova Nyasaye kuom gik molos gi dhahabu mane wayako kaka; thiwni, manyonge, tere, stadi kod tigo mondo omi wapwodhrego e richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.”
Therefore have we brought near an offering unto Yahweh, what, each man, hath found—articles of gold, ankle chains and bracelets, rings earrings and buckles, —to put a propitiatory-covering over our souls before Yahweh.
51 Musa kod Eliazar jadolo noyie okawo dhahabugo irgi, ma gin gik mothedhi maber.
So Moses, and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, —all the wrought articles.
52 Dhahabu duto mane oa ir jotend lweny mag alufe alufe kod mago mag miche miche mane Musa kod Eliazar jadolo ochiwo kaka mich ne Jehova Nyasaye pekgi ne romo kilo mia ariyo.
And all the gold of the heave-offering which they offered up unto Yahweh, was—sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, —of the princes of thousands, and of the princes of hundreds.
53 Jalweny ka jalweny noyako mana gima orome.
The men of the host, had taken prey, each man for himself.
54 Musa kod Eliazar jadolo nokawo dhahabu koa kuom jotend jolweny mag alufe alufe kod mago mag miche miche mi negiterogi e Hemb Romo kaka rapar mar jo-Israel e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
So then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the princes of thousands, and hundreds, —and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the sons of Israel before Yahweh.
