Numbers 31
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2 Revenge first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so thou shalt be gathered to thy people.
“Na pilnam te coi lamtah Israel ca rhoek kah tawnlohnah neh Median soah phulo laeh,” a ti nah.
3 And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites.
Te dongah Moses loh pilnam te a voek tih, “Na taeng lamkah hlang rhoek te caempuei la pumcum saeh lamtah Midian soah BOEIPA kah tawnlohnah paek ham Midian cuuk uh thil saeh.
4 Let a thousand men be chosen out of every tribe of Israel to be sent to the war.
Israel koca boeih khui lamloh koca khat ah thawng khat, koca khat ah thawng khat rhip te caempuei la tueih uh,” a ti nah.
5 And they gave a thousand of every tribe, that is to say, twelve thousand men well appointed for battle.
Te dongah Israel a thawng a thawng khui lamloh koca khat ah thawng khat te hol uh tih thawng hlai nit te caempuei la pumcum uh.
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.
Te phoeiah Moses loh amih koca pakhat lamkah thawng te caempuei la a tueih. Te vaengah khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha khaw a kut dongkah hmuencim hnopai neh tamlung olueng neh caempuei la cet.
7 And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te a uen bangla Midian te a muk uh tih tongpa boeih te a ngawn uh.
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.
Midian manghai rhoek te khaw amih kah rhok dongah a ngawn uh. Midian manghai panga, Evi neh Rekem khaw, Zur neh Hur khaw, Reba neh Beor capa Balaam khaw cunghang neh a ngawn uh.
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 ca rhoek loh Midian kah huta camoe khaw a rhamsa boeih neh a boiva boeih a mawt uh tih a thadueng boeih khaw a poelyoe pauh.
10 And all their cities, and their villages, and castles, they burned.
Amih kah tolrhum lakli, a khopuei boeih neh a lumim boeih khaw hmai neh a hoeh pauh.
11 And they carried away the booty, and all that they had taken both of men and of beasts.
Kutbuem boeih khaw, hlang neh rhamsa dongkah a hnorhawt boeih khaw a khuen uh.
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.
Te phoeiah tamna neh kutbuem hnorhawt te khaw Jerikho kah Jordan kaep, Moab kolken kah rhaehhmuen kah Moses taeng neh khosoih Eleazar taengah, Israel ca rhaengpuei taengla a khuen uh.
13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp.
Moses, khosoih Eleazar neh rhaengpuei kah khoboei boeih khaw amih doe hamla rhaehhmuen vongvoel la tawn uh.
14 And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle,
Tedae caem aka soep thawng khat mangpa rhoek neh caempuei caemtloek lamkah aka pawk yakhat mangpa taengah Moses a thintoek.
15 Said: Why have you saved the women?
Te phoeiah amih te Moses loh, “Huta tah boeih na hlun uh nama?”.
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?
Peor kah olka dongah BOEIPA taeng lamloh boekoeknah la hol uh ham Balaam kah ol lamloh Israel ca rhoek taengla amih ha pawk coeng ne. Te dongah ni lucik loh BOEIPA kah hlangboel a tlak thil.
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.
Te dongah camoe lakli kah tongpa boeih te ngawn uh lamtah tongpa kah thingkong dongah tongpa aka ming huta boeih khaw ngawn uh.
18 But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:
Tedae huta khuiah khaw tongpa kah thingkong aka ming hlan camoe boeih tah namamih ham hlun uh.
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.
Nangmih hinglu aka ngawn boeih neh rhok aka ben boeih tah hnin rhih khuiah rhaehhmuen vongvoel la rhaeh uh. A hnin thum neh a hnin rhih dongah namamih neh na tamna te khaw cilpoe uh.
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.
Himbai boeih neh maehpho dongkah hnopai boeih, maae lamkah bitat boeih neh thing hnopai boeih khaw cilpoe uh,” a ti nah.
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:
BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen bangla olkhueng dongkah khosing he, khosoih Eleazar loh caemtloek la aka cet caempuei hlang rhoek taengah,
22 Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lend, and tin,
“Sui neh cak, rhohum, thi, samphae neh kawnlawk,
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 aka khoeng hno boeih tah hmai ah caeh sak uh lamtah caihcil bitni. Pumom tui neh cilpoe saeh lamtah hmai loh a khoeng pawt boeih tahtui dongah caeh sak uh.
24 And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp.
A hnin rhih dongah na himbai te na suk uh tih na caihcil uh phoeiah rhaehhmuen la kun uh,” a ti nah.
25 And the Lord said to Moses:
BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
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:
Hnorhawt dongkah hlangmi te, na hlang kah tamna neh rhamsa khaw, khosoih Eleazar neh rhaengpuei kah a napa rhoek hlangmi khaw tae uh.
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.
Caempuei la a khuen tih caem aka tu laklo neh rhaengpuei boeih laklo ah hnorhawt te tael pah.
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.
Caempuei la aka cet caemtloek hlang rhoek khui lamloh ya nga vaengah hinglu pakhat tah hlang khaw, saelhung khaw, laak khaw, boiva khaw BOEIPA taengah mangmu la tloeng.
29 And thou shalt give it to Eleazar the priest, because they are the firstfruits of the Lord.
A rhakthuem te lo lamtah BOEIPA kah khosaa la khosoih Eleazar ham pae.
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 ca rhoek kah te a rhakthuem ah coelh pah. Sawmnga lamloh pakhat tah hlang khaw, saelhung khaw, laak khaw, boiva khaw, rhamsa khaw boeih tu lamtah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim loh a kuek aka ngaithuen Levi taengah pae,” a ti nah.
31 And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded.
BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Moses neh khosoih Eleazar loh a saii.
32 And the spoil which the army had taken, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
Caempuei pilnam loh a poelyoe hnorhawt dong lamloh maeh coih la aka om he boiva he thawng ya rhuk neh thawng sawmrhih thawng nga,
33 Seventy-two thousand oxen,
saelhung thawng sawmrhih neh thawng hnih,
34 Sixty-one thousand asses:
Laak thawng sawmrhuk neh thawng khat lo.
35 And thirty-two thousand persons of the female sex, that had not known men.
Hlang kah hinglu khaw tongpa kah thingkong aka ming pawh huta he a pum la hinglu thawng sawmthum thawng nit lo.
36 And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
Caempuei la aka kun kah hamsum rhakthuem he a pum la boiva thawng ya thum neh thawng sawmthum thawng rhih ya nga lo.
37 Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy-five sheep.
BOEIPA kah mangmu te boiva dong lamloh ya rhuk sawmrhih panga,
38 And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen:
Saelhung thawng sawmthum thawng rhuk lo. Te vaengah BOEIPA ham amih kah mangmu te sawmrhih pumnit lo.
39 Out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, sixty-one asses:
Laak thawng thumkip neh ya nga vaengah BOEIPA ham amih mangmu pum sawmrhuk pakhat lo.
40 Out of the sixteen thousand persons, there fell to the portion of the Lord, thirty-two souls.
Hlang kah hinglu khaw thawng hlai rhuk vaengah BOEIPA ham amih kah mangmu te hinglu thumkip panit lo.
41 And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him,
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla BOEIPA kah khosaa mangmu te Moses loh khosoih Eleazar taengah a paek.
42 Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle.
Israel ca rhakthuem lamloh caem aka muk hlang taeng lamkah khaw Moses loh a tael pah.
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,
Hlangboel rhakthuem lamloh boiva thawng ya thum neh thawng sawmthum thawng rhih ya nga lo.
44 And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen,
Saelhung he thawng thumkip neh thawng rhuk lo.
45 And out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses,
Laak thawng sawmthum neh ya nga lo.
46 And out of the sixteen thousand persons,
Hlang kah hinglu thawng hlai rhuk lo.
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.
Israel ca rhoek rhakthuem dongkah te Moses a loh. Sawmnga ah pakhat tah hlang lamkah khaw, rhamsa lamkah khaw a loh tih BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla BOEIPA dungtlungim kah a kuek aka ngaithuen Levi taengah a paek.
48 And when the commanders of the army, and the tribunes and centurions were come to Moses, they said:
Te phoeiah caempuei a thawng thawng aka soep, thawng khat mangpa rhoek neh yakhat mangpa rhoek tahMoses taengla mop uh.
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.
Moses taengah, “Na sal rhoek loh caemtloek hlang rhoek kah boeilu te a tae uh vaengah mamih lamkah he kaimih kut hmuiah hlang he a hmaai moenih.
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.
Te dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah kaimih kah hinglu ham aka dawth la hlang loh a hmuh sui hnopai, cak neh khungpak, kutcaeng, hnathawn neh oilung te BOEIPA nawnnah ham kang khuen,” a ti uh.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds,
Te dongah Moses neh khosoih loh Eleazar amih taeng lamkah sui neh kutsai hnopai boeih te a doe.
52 In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions.
Te dongah thawngkhat mangpa rhoek neh yakhat mangpa rhoek taeng lamloh BOEIPA taengah khosaa la a tloeng uh sui boeih he shekel thawng hlai rhuk ya rhih sawmnga lo.
53 For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own.
Caempuei hlang rhoek long khaw amah kah hlang te a poelyoe uh.
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.
Te phoeiah Moses neh khosoih Eleazar lohthawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek lamkah sui te a doe tih tingtunnah dap la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Israel ca rhoek ham poekkoepnah la a khuen.
