< Numbers 31 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 Revenge first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so thou shalt be gathered to thy people.
“Tsiva kuvaMidhiani zvavakaitira vaIsraeri. Shure kwaizvozvo uchandosanganiswa navanhu vako.”
3 And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites.
Saka Mozisi akati kuvanhu, “Shongedzai vamwe varume vokwenyu nhumbi dzokurwa kuti vaende kundorwa navaMidhiani kuti vazadzise kutsiva kwaJehovha pamusoro pavo.
4 Let a thousand men be chosen out of every tribe of Israel to be sent to the war.
Endesai kuhondo varume chiuru kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe rwavaIsraeri.”
5 And they gave a thousand of every tribe, that is to say, twelve thousand men well appointed for battle.
Saka varume zviuru gumi nezviviri vakashongedzerwa kundorwa, chiuru chimwe kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe, vakauyiswa vachibva kumhuri dzavaIsraeri.
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.
Mozisi akavatuma kundorwa, chiuru kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe, pamwe chete naFinehasi mwanakomana waEreazari muprista, uyo akatorawo nhumbi dzomunzvimbo tsvene nehwamanda dzokuridza pakutungamirira.
7 And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men.
Vakarwisa vaMidhiani, sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha, vakauraya varume vose.
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.
Vakaurayiwa pakati pavo ndiEvhi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri naRebha, madzimambo mashanu avaMidhiani. Vakaurayawo nomunondo Bharamu mwanakomana waBheori.
9 And they took their women, and their children captives, and all their cattle, and all their goods: and all their possessions they plundered:
VaIsraeri vakatapa vakadzi vavaMidhiani navana vavo uye vakatora mombe dzose dzavaMidhiani, makwai nepfuma sezvinhu zvavakapamba.
10 And all their cities, and their villages, and castles, they burned.
Vakapisa maguta ose avaMidhiani, pamwe chete nemisasa yavo yose.
11 And they carried away the booty, and all that they had taken both of men and of beasts.
Vakatora zvose zvavakapamba, nepfuma, pamwe chete navanhu uye nezvipfuwo,
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.
vakauya nenhapwa, nepfuma uye nezvavakapamba kuna Mozisi naEreazari muprista, uye vaIsraeri vakaungana pamisasa yavo pamapani eMoabhu, paJorodhani uchibva mhiri kuJeriko.
13 And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp.
Mozisi, Ereazari navatungamiri vose veungano vakabuda kuti vandosangana navo kunze kwomusasa.
14 And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle,
Mozisi akatsamwira machinda ehondo, vatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana, vakadzoka kuhondo.
15 Said: Why have you saved the women?
Akavabvunza akati, “Ko, makatendera vakadzi vose kuti vararame here?
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?
Ndivo vakanga vachitevera zano raBharamu uye ndivo vakatsausa vaIsraeri kubva kuna Jehovha pane zvakaitika paPeori, naizvozvo denda rikauya pamusoro pavanhu vaJehovha.
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.
Zvino chiurayai vakomana vose. Uye muuraye mukadzi mumwe nomumwe akavata nomurume,
18 But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:
asi muzvisiyire musikana mumwe nomumwe asina kuvata nomurume.
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.
“Imi mose makauraya ani zvake kana kubata ani zvake akaurayiwa, munofanira kugara kunze kwomusasa kwamazuva manomwe. Pazuva rechitanhatu nezuva rechinomwe, munofanira kuzvinatsa imi nenhapwa dzenyu.
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.
Munatse nguo imwe neimwe pamwe chete nezvose zvakaitwa namatehwe, mvere dzembudzi kana makushe ehwai.”
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:
Ipapo Ereazari muprista akati kuvarwi vakanga vaenda kuhondo, “Hezvino zvinodikanwa
22 Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lend, and tin,
pamurayiro wakapiwa Mozisi naJehovha: goridhe, sirivha, ndarira, simbi, tini, mutobvu
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:
nezvimwewo zvisingaparadzwi nomoto; zvinofanira kuiswa mumoto, ipapo zvichava zvakanaka. Asi zvinofanirawo kucheneswa nemvura yokunatsa. Uye zvose zvisingagoni kukunda moto zvinofanira kupinzwa nomumvura imomo.
24 And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp.
Pazuva rechinomwe musuke nguo dzenyu, ipapo muchava vakachena. Ipapo mungazochipinda henyu mumusasa.”
25 And the Lord said to Moses:
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
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:
“Iwe naEreazari muprista navakuru vemhuri veungano munofanira kuverenga vanhu vose nezvipfuwo zvakapambwa.
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.
Mugovere zvakapambwa pakati pavarwi vakaenda kuhondo uye navakasara muungano.
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.
Kubva kuvarwi vakanga vandorwa kuhondo, utsaure somutero waJehovha chinhu chimwe chete pazvinhu mazana mashanu, vangava vanhu, mombe, mbongoro, makwai kana mbudzi.
29 And thou shalt give it to Eleazar the priest, because they are the firstfruits of the Lord.
Utore mutero uyu kubva pahafu yavo yomugove wavo ugopa kuna Ereazari muprista somugove waJehovha.
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.
Kubva kuhafu inova yavaIsraeri, utsaure chinhu chimwe chete kubva pamakumi mashanu oga oga, vangava vanhu, mombe, mbongoro, makwai, mbudzi kana zvimwe zvipfuwo. Uzvipe kuvaRevhi, ivo vane basa rokuchengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded.
Saka Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakaita sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
32 And the spoil which the army had taken, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
Zvakatapwa zvakasara pane zvavakapamba zvakanga zvatorwa navarwi zvaisvika zviuru mazana matanhatu namakumi manomwe nezvishanu zvamakwai,
33 Seventy-two thousand oxen,
mombe zviuru makumi manomwe nezviviri,
34 Sixty-one thousand asses:
mbongoro zviuru makumi matanhatu nechiuru chimwe chete
35 And thirty-two thousand persons of the female sex, that had not known men.
uye vakadzi zviuru makumi matatu nezviviri vakanga vasina kumbovata navarume.
36 And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
Hafu yomugove wavaya vakarwa muhondo yaiva: makwai zviuru mazana matatu namakumi matatu nezvinomwe, namazana mashanu,
37 Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy-five sheep.
mutero waJehovha paari wakanga uri makwai mazana matanhatu namakwai manomwe namashanu;
38 And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen:
mombe dzaisvika zviuru makumi matatu nezvitanhatu, mutero waJehovha padziri waiva mombe makumi manomwe nembiri;
39 Out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, sixty-one asses:
mbongoro dzaiva zviuru makumi matatu namazana mashanu, mutero waJehovha padziri wakanga uri mbongoro makumi matanhatu neimwe chete;
40 Out of the sixteen thousand persons, there fell to the portion of the Lord, thirty-two souls.
vanhu vaisvika zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu, mutero waJehovha pavari waiva vanhu makumi matatu navaviri.
41 And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him,
Mozisi akapa mutero kuna Ereazari muprista somugove waJehovha, sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
42 Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle.
Hafu yakanga iri yavaIsraeri, yakatsaurwa naMozisi kubva kuvarume vehondo,
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,
hafu yeungano yaiva makwai zviuru mazana matatu namakumi matatu namanomwe, namazana mashanu,
44 And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen,
mombe zviuru makumi matatu, nezvitanhatu,
45 And out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses,
mbongoro dzaiva zviuru makumi matatu, namazana mashanu
46 And out of the sixteen thousand persons,
uye vanhu vaiva zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu.
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.
Kubva pahafu yaiva yavaIsraeri, Mozisi akatsaura munhu mumwe chete kubva pavanhu makumi mashanu, chipfuwo chimwe chete kubva pazvipfuwo makumi mashanu, sezvakarayirwa naJehovha, akazvipa kuvaRevhi, vakanga vane basa rokuchengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha.
48 And when the commanders of the army, and the tribunes and centurions were come to Moses, they said:
Ipapo machinda akanga ari vatariri vamapoka ehondo, vatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana vakaenda kuna Mozisi
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.
vakati kwaari, “Varanda venyu vaverenga varwi vari pasi pedu, hapana kana mumwe chete asipo.
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.
Saka tauya nechipo kuna Jehovha chezvishongo zvegoridhe zvakawanikwa nomumwe nomumwe wedu, zvishongo zvegoridhe, mhete dzomumaoko, mhete dzomunzeve nouketani hwomumutsipa kuti tizviyananisire pamberi paJehovha.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds,
Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakagamuchira kubva kwavari goridhe, zvinhu zvose zvakanga zvakaitwa noumhizha.
52 In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions.
Goridhe rose rakabva kuvatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana rakapiwa kuna Jehovha naMozisi naEreazari muprista rairema mashekeri zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu, namazana manomwe namakumi mashanu.
53 For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own.
Murwi mumwe nomumwe akanga azvitorera zvake zvakapambwa.
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.
Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakagamuchira goridhe rakabva kuvatungamiri vezviuru nokuvatungamiri vamazana vakariisa muTende Rokusangana kuti chive chirangaridzo chavaIsraeri pamberi paJehovha.
