< Numbers 31 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2 Revenge first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so thou shalt be gathered to thy people.
Israel kaminawk nuiah sak ih zaehaih baktih toengah, Midian kaminawk khaeah sah pathok ah; to pacoengah loe nangmah ih kaminawk khaeah la tih boeh, tiah a naa.
3 And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites.
To pongah Mosi mah kaminawk khaeah, Midian kaminawk nuiah Angraeng ih lu to lak moe, Midian kaminawk to tuk hanah, nangcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk maiphaw maica hoi amthoep oh.
4 Let a thousand men be chosen out of every tribe of Israel to be sent to the war.
Israel acaeng thung hoi acaeng maeto mah kami sang to misatuk hanah patoeh oh, tiah a naa.
5 And they gave a thousand of every tribe, that is to say, twelve thousand men well appointed for battle.
To pongah Israel acaeng maeto boih thung hoiah patoeh ih kami sang hatlai hnetto loe misatuk hanah angthawk o.
6 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.
Mosi mah to kaminawk to misatuk hanah acaeng maeto thung hoiah kami sangto patoeh; nihcae hoi nawnto mongkah ueng Eleazar capa qaima Phinehas to hmuenciim thung ih maiphaw maicanawk hoiah nawnto patoeh.
7 And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men.
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae mah Midian kaminawk to tuk o moe, nongpanawk to hum o boih.
8 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.
A hum o ih kaminawk thungah Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur hoi Reba, Midian siangpahrang pangato athum o; nihcae mah Beor capa Balaam doeh sumsen hoiah hum o.
9 And they took their women, and their children captives, and all their cattle, and all their goods: and all their possessions they plundered:
Israel kaminawk mah Midian nongpatanawk hoi nawktanawk, nihcae ih hmuenmaenawk, maitawnawk hoi tuunawk to lomh pae o boih.
10 And all their cities, and their villages, and castles, they burned.
Midian kaminawk ohhaih vangpuinawk to hmai hoiah thlaek pae o boih; a ohhaih kahoih imnawk doeh thlaek pae o boih.
11 And they carried away the booty, and all that they had taken both of men and of beasts.
A naeh o ih kaminawk, a lak o ih hmuennawk hoi pacah ih moinawk doeh lak pae o boih.
12 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.
Misong ah naeh o ih kaminawk hoi a lak pae o ih hmuennawk boih loe, Moab azawn ih Jordan vapui taeng, Jeriko vangpui zaeh ah kaom, Mosi, qaima Eleazar hoi Israel kaminawk khaeah a sinh pae o.
13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp.
Mosi, qaima Eleazar hoi acaeng zaehoikung boih loe, nihcae tongh hanah ataihaih ahmuen tasa bangah caeh o.
14 And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle,
To naah Mosi loe misatukhaih ahmuen hoiah amlaem misatuh angraengnawk, kami sangto ukkungnawk hoi kami cumvaito ukkungnawk nuiah palungphui.
15 Said: Why have you saved the women?
Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Nongpatanawk na pathlungh o boih maw? tiah a dueng.
16 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?
Khenah, hae nongpatanawk loe Balaam ih lok to tahngaih o moe, Peor kawng pongah Israel kaminawk to Angraeng khae hoi loklam amkhraengs o sak boeh; to pongah Angraeng ih kaminawk salakah kasae nathaih to oh.
17 Therefore kill all that are of the male sex, even of the children: and put to death the women, that have carnally known men.
Vaihi nawktanawk salak ih nongpa to hum o boih ah; nongpa hoi nawnto iip nongpatanawk doeh hum o boih ah.
18 But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:
Toe nongpa panoek vai ai tanglanawk loe nangmacae han suem oh.
19 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.
Nangcae thungah mi kawbaktih doeh kami hum kami, to tih ai boeh loe hum ih kami qok sui kami to ataihaih im tasa bangah ni sarihto thung suem oh; ni thumto hoi ni sarihto naah nangmacae hoi na naeh o ih kaminawk boih ciimcaihaih to sah oh.
20 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.
Nangmacae ih khukbuen, moihin hoi sak ih hmuennawk, maeh mui, thing hoi sak ih hmuennawk to ciimcai o sak ah, tiah a naa.
21 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:
To pacoengah qaima Eleazar mah misatuk han kacaeh misatuh kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih atawk loe hae tiah oh;
22 Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lend, and tin,
sui, sum kanglung, sum kamling, sum, camphaeh ngan hoiah kimah,
23 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:
hmai kakaang thaih hmuennawk boih loe hmai hoiah qoeng ah, to tiah nahaeloe ciim tih; ciimsakhaih tui hoiah doeh pasae oh; hmai khaan thai ai hmuennawk loe tui hoiah pasae oh.
24 And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp.
Ni sarihto naah khukbuennawk to pasuk oh, to tiah nahaeloe na ciim o tih; to pacoengah loe ataihaih imthung ah nang zo o thai tih boeh, tiah a naa.
25 And the Lord said to Moses:
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
26 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:
kaminawk mah lak o ih hmuenmaenawk to nangmah hoi qaima Eleazar hoi acaeng zaehoikung mah la oh loe,
27 And thou shalt divide the spoil equally, between them that fought and went out to the war, and between the rest of the multitude.
to hmuennawk to ahmuen hnetto ah tapraek ah; misatuk han caeh misatuh kaminawk hoi amkhueng kaminawk han tapraek paeh.
28 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.
Misatuk han kacaeh misatuh kaminawk loe kami doeh, maitaw doeh, laa hrang doeh, tuu doeh, cumvai pangato thungah maeto, Angraeng khaeah paek han oh;
29 And thou shalt give it to Eleazar the priest, because they are the firstfruits of the Lord.
nihcae mah hak ih tamut ahap to la ah loe, Angraeng taham to qaima Eleazar khaeah paek ah.
30 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.
Israel acaeng ahap khae hoiah, kami doeh, maitaw doeh, laa hrang doeh, tuu doeh, maeh doeh, kalah moinawk doeh, qui pangato thungah maeto la ah loe, to hmuennawk to Angraeng ih kahni im khenzawnkung Levinawk khaeah paek ah, tiah a naa.
31 And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded.
To pongah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi hoi qaima Eleazar mah sak hoi.
32 And the spoil which the army had taken, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
Misatuh kaminawk mah lak o ih kanghmat tuunawk loe sang cumvai taruk, sang qui sarih, sang pangato oh.
33 Seventy-two thousand oxen,
Maitaw sing sarih, sang hnetto,
34 Sixty-one thousand asses:
laa hrang sing taruk, sangto,
35 And thirty-two thousand persons of the female sex, that had not known men.
nongpa hoi iip vai ai nongpata sing thum, sang hnetto oh o.
36 And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
Misatuk naah kacaeh kaminawk ih taham ahap loe, tuu sing qui thum, sing thum, sang sarih, cumvai pangato,
37 Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy-five sheep.
Angraeng khaeah tathlang han ih hmuen loe cumvai taruk, qui sarih, pangato oh.
38 And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen:
Maitaw sing thum, sang tarukto oh; to thung hoiah qui sarih, hnetto loe Angraeng khaeah paek han ih taham ah oh.
39 Out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, sixty-one asses:
Laa hrang sing thum, cumvai pangato oh; to thung hoiah Angraeng ih taham loe qui taruk, maeto;
40 Out of the sixteen thousand persons, there fell to the portion of the Lord, thirty-two souls.
kami loe singto pacoeng, sang tarukto oh; to thung hoiah Angraeng ih taham loe qui thum, hnetto.
41 And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him,
Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah Angraeng ih taham to qaima Eleazar khaeah paek.
42 Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle.
Mosi mah misatuh kaminawk khae hoiah lak moe, Israel kaminawk mah hak han koi ahap,
43 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,
rangpuinawk mah hak han koi ahap loe, tuu sang cumvai thum, sing thum, sang sarih, cumvai pangato;
44 And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen,
maitaw sing thum, sang tarukto,
45 And out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses,
laa hrang sing thum, cumvai pangato hoi,
46 And out of the sixteen thousand persons,
kami singto pacoeng, sang tarukto oh.
47 Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites that watched in the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded.
Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Israel rangpui mah hak han koi taham ahap thung hoiah, Mosi mah kami maw, moi maw qui pangato thungah maeto lak moe, Angraeng ih kahni im khenzawnkung Levi kaminawk khaeah paek.
48 And when the commanders of the army, and the tribunes and centurions were come to Moses, they said:
To pacoengah misatuh sangto ukkungnawk hoi misatuh cumvaito ukkungnawk Mosi khaeah caeh o moe,
49 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.
anih khaeah, Na tammanawk mah misatuh kaminawk thung ih kami ka kroek o naah, maeto doeh anghmaa ai.
50 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.
To pongah Angraeng khaeah paek hanah sui hoiah sak ih hmuennawk, bungmunawk, ban lakoknawk, bantuetnawk, naa tangkraengnawk, hnah ah bangh koi hmuennawk to Angraeng hmaa ah angbawnhaih ah sak han ih kang sin o, tiah a naa o.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds,
Mosi hoi qaima Eleazar mah nihcae ih suinawk to talawk pae hoi; ban tok sah kop kaminawk mah sak ih suinawk to talawk pae hoi.
52 In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions.
Mosi hoi qaima Eleazar mah misatuh kami sangto ukkungnawk hoi misatuh kami cumvaito ukkungnawk khae hoiah talawk ih Angraeng ih taham suinawk loe sangqum ah shekel sang hatlai taruk, cumvai sarih, qui pangato oh.
53 For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own.
Misatuh kami maeto mah angmah hanah hmuen maeto lak o boih.
54 And that which was received they brought into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
Mosi hoi qaima Eleazar mah misatuh kami sangto hoi misatuh kami cumvaito ukkungnawk khae hoiah talawk hoi ih suinawk to Israel kaminawk mah panoek poe hanah amkhuenghaih kahni im ah Angraeng hmaa ah a sin hoi.
