Numbers 31
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards you shall be added to your people.
“Uwabwezere zoyipa Amidiyani chifukwa cha zimene anachitira Aisraeli. Ukatha kuchita zimenezi, iwe udzamwalira.”
3 And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord.
Ndipo Mose anati kwa Aisraeli, “Perekani zida kwa ena mwa anthu anu kuti akamenyane ndi Amidiyani ndi kuwabwezera choyipa mʼmalo mwa Yehova.
4 Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array.
Mutumize ku nkhondoko amuna 1,000 kuchokera ku fuko lililonse la Aisraeli.”
5 And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war.
Choncho amuna okwana 12,000 anatenga zida kukonzekera nkhondo, anthu 1,000 kuchokera ku fuko lililonse la Aisraeli.
6 And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands.
Mose anawatumiza ku nkhondo, anthu 1,000 kuchokera ku fuko lililonse pamodzi ndi Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara wansembe amene ananyamula zipangizo zochokera ku malo wopatulika ndi malipenga okaliza.
7 And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they killed every male.
Iwo anamenyana ndi Amidiyani monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose ndipo anapha mwamuna aliyense.
8 And they killed the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they killed with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain.
Mwa anthu ophedwawo munali Evi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri ndi Reba, mafumu asanu a Amidiyani. Ndipo anaphanso ndi lupanga Balaamu mwana wa Beori.
9 And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces.
Aisraeli anagwira ukapolo amayi a Chimidiyani ndi ana awo ndipo analandanso ngʼombe, ziweto zawo zina zonse ndi katundu wawo yense.
10 And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation and they burnt their villages with fire.
Anawotcha mizinda yonse imene Amidiyani ankakhalamo pamodzi ndi misasa yawo yonse.
11 And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast.
Anatenga zonse zimene analanda ku nkhondoko, anthu ndi zoweta zomwe.
12 And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho.
Ndipo anabwera nawo akapolowo ndi zolanda ku nkhondozo kwa Mose ndi kwa wansembe Eliezara ndi kwa gulu lonse la Aisraeli ku misasa yawo ku chigwa cha Mowabu, mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Yorodani ku Yeriko.
13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them.
Mose, wansembe Eliezara ndi atsogoleri onse a gululo anapita kukakumana nawo kunja kwa misasa.
14 And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of thousands and the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array.
Mose anakwiya nawo akuluakulu a magulu a ankhondowo: olamulira 1,000 ndi olamulira 100, amene ankachokera ku nkhondo.
15 And Moses said to them, Why have you saved every female alive?
Iye anafunsa kuti, “Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani mwawaleka amoyo amayi onsewa?”
16 For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord.
Paja iwo ndi amene ankatsatira uphungu wa Balaamu ndiponso ndi amene anachititsa Aisraeli kuti asiye Yehova pa zimene zinachitika ku Peori, kotero mliri unagwera anthu a Yehova.
17 Now then kill every male in all the spoil, kill every woman, who has known the lying with man.
Tsopano iphani munthu wamwamuna aliyense. Ndiponso iphani mayi aliyense amene anagonapo ndi mwamuna,
18 And as for all the captivity of women, who have not known the lying with man, save you them alive.
koma sungani mtsikana aliyense amene sanagonepo ndi mwamuna.
19 And you shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third day, and you and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on the seventh day.
“Inu nonse amene mwaphapo wina wake, kapena kukhudza aliyense amene anaphedwa mukhale kunja kwa msasa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Pa tsiku lachitatu mudziyeretse nokha pamodzi ndi akapolo anu.
20 And you shall purify every garment and every leather utensil, and all furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel.
Muyeretsenso zovala zanu ndi china chilichonse chopangidwa ndi chikopa, ubweya wa mbuzi kapenanso ndi mtengo.”
21 And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses.
Tsono wansembe Eliezara anati kwa asilikali amene anapita ku nkhondo aja, “Lamulo limene Yehova anapereka kwa Mose ndi ili:
22 Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin,
Golide, siliva, mkuwa, chitsulo, chiwaya, mtovu
23 every thing that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water.
ndi china chilichonse chimene sichingapse ndi moto muchidutsitse pa moto, ndipo chidzayeretsedwa. Komanso chiyeretsedwe ndi madzi oyeretsa. Ndipo chilichonse chimene chingapse ndi moto muchidutsitse mʼmadzimo.
24 And on the seventh day you shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards you shall come into the camp.
Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri muchape zovala zanu ndipo mudzayera. Mukatero mutha kulowa mu msasa.”
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
26 Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation.
“Iwe ndi wansembe Eliezara ndiponso akuluakulu a mabanja a anthuwa, muwerenge anthu onse ndi ziweto zomwe zinagwidwa ku nkhondo.
27 And you shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation.
Mugawe zolanda ku nkhondozo magawo awiri, lina la ankhondo amene anapita ku nkhondo, lina la anthu onse.
28 And you shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and you shall take from their half.
Pa gawo la ankhondowo, mutengeko gawo la Yehova, pa zofunkha 500 zilizonse mutengeko chimodzi, pa akapolo, ngʼombe, bulu ndi nkhosa.
29 And you shall give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first fruits of the Lord.
Utenge zimenezo pa theka la gawo la ankhondowo ndipo upereke kwa wansembe Eliezara kuti zikhale zopereka zanu kwa Yehova.
30 And from the half belonging to the children of Israel you shall take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and you shall give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.
Kuchokera pa theka la gawo la Aisraeli, utengeko cholanda chimodzi pa makumi asanu aliwonse, pa anthu, ngʼombe, abulu, nkhosa, mbuzi kapena zoweta zina. Uzipereke kwa Alevi amene ntchito yawo ndi yosamalira tenti ya Yehova.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
Ndipo Mose ndi wansembe Eliezara anachita monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
32 And that which remained of the spoil which the warriors took, was—of the sheep, six hundred and seventy-five thousand:
Zotsala pa zolanda ku nkhondo zimene ankhondowo anatenga zinali nkhosa 675,000,
33 and oxen, seventy-two thousand:
Ngʼombe 72,000,
34 and asses, sixty-one thousand.
abulu 61,000,
35 And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand.
ndi atsikana omwe sanagonepo ndi mwamuna 32,000.
36 And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
Gawo la ankhondo amene anapita ku nkhondo linali: nkhosa 337,500,
37 And the tribute to the Lord from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
mwa zimenezi gawo la Yehova linali 675;
38 And the oxen, six and thirty thousand, and the tribute to the Lord seventy-two.
ngʼombe zinalipo 36,000 ndipo gawo la Yehova linali 72;
39 And asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute to the Lord, sixty-one:
abulu analipo 30,500 ndipo gawo la Yehova linali 61;
40 and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls.
anthu analipo 16,000 ndipo gawo la Yehova linali 32.
41 And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses;
Mose anapereka kwa wansembe Eliezara gawo limene linali loyenera kupereka kwa Yehova monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
42 from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war.
Pa gawo la Aisraeli, Mose anapatula theka limodzi kuchotsa pa zolanda ku nkhondo zonse zimene zinabwera ndi ankhondo aja.
43 And the half [taken] from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.
Tsono gawo la Aisraeli linali ili: nkhosa 337,500,
44 And the oxen, thirty-six thousand;
ngʼombe 36,000,
45 asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;
abulu 30,500,
46 and persons, sixteen thousand.
anthu 16,000.
47 And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the fifties part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Kuchoka pa gawo la Aisraelilo, Mose anatengapo chimodzi pa zolanda ku nkhondo makumi asanu aliwonse, anthu ndi nyama, ndipo anazipereka kwa Alevi amene ankayangʼanira tenti ya Yehova monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
48 And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the host, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, approached Moses, and said to Moses,
Pamenepo omwe ankayangʼanira magulu a ankhondo olamulira 1,000 ndi olamulira 100 anabwera kwa Mose,
49 Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing.
iwo anati kwa iye, “Ife anthu anu tawerenga ankhondo amene timawalamulira. Palibe munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe amene wasowa.
50 And we have brought our gift to the Lord, [every] man who has found an article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord.
Ndipo tabweretsa zopereka kwa Yehova zimene munthu aliyense anapeza: ziwiya zagolide, zibangiri, zigwinjiri, mphete zosindikizira, ndolo ndi mikanda kuti tichitire mwambo wopepesera machimo pamaso pa Yehova.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article.
Ndipo Mose ndi wansembe Eliezara analandira kuchokera kwa atsogoleriwo golide pamodzi ndi zipangizo zonse zosula.
52 And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
Golide yense wochokera kwa atsogoleri a 1,000 ndi atsogoleri a 100 zomwe Mose ndi Eliezara anapereka ngati mphatso kwa Yehova zinali zolemera makilogalamu 200.
53 For the men of war took plunder every one for himself.
Wankhondo aliyense anatenga zomwe analanda yekha ku nkhondo.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the vessels into the tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
Mose ndi Eliezara wansembe analandira golide kuchokera kwa atsogoleri a 1,000 ndi atsogoleri a 100 ndi kukamuyika mu tenti ya msonkhano ngati chikumbutso cha Aisraeli pamaso pa Yehova.
