Numbers 31
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 Reuenge the children of Israel of the Midianites, and afterwarde shalt thou be gathered vnto thy people.
Phindisela impindiselo yabantwana bakoIsrayeli kumaMidiyani; emva kwalokho ubuthelwe ebantwini bakini.
3 And Moses spake to the people, saying, Harnesse some of you vnto warre, and let them goe against Midian, to execute the vengeance of the Lord against Midian.
UMozisi wakhuluma ebantwini esithi: Abanye benu kabahlomele impi ukuze bamelane lamaMidiyani, benze impindiselo yeNkosi kumaMidiyani.
4 A thousande of euery tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye sende to the warre.
Thumelani empini abayinkulungwane kuleso lalesosizwe, kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli.
5 So there were taken out of the thousands of Israel, twelue thousande prepared vnto warre, of euery tribe a thousand.
Kwasekunikelwa kuvela ezinkulungwaneni zakoIsrayeli inkulungwane ngesizwe, inkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili zihlomele impi.
6 And Moses sent them to the warre, euen a thousand of euery tribe, and sent them with Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest to the warre: and the holy instruments, that is, the trumpets to blow were in his hand.
UMozisi wasezithumela empini, inkulungwane ngesizwe, zona loPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi, ukuya empini, belempahla ezingcwele lempondo zokuhlaba umkhosi esandleni sakhe.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the Lord had commanded Moses, and slue all the males.
Basebesilwa bemelene lamaMidiyani, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi, babulala bonke abesilisa.
8 They slue also the Kings of Midian among them that were slaine: Eui and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur and Reba fiue kings of Midian, and they slue Balaam the sonne of Beor with the sworde:
Babulala njalo amakhosi eMidiyani, ngaphandle kwababuleweyo, oEvi loRekemi loZuri loHuri loReba, amakhosi amahlanu eMidiyani; loBalami indodana kaBeyori bambulala ngenkemba.
9 But the children of Israel tooke the women of Midian prisoners, and their children, and spoyled all their cattell, and all their flockes, and all their goods.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebethumba abesifazana bamaMidiyani labantwanyana babo, baphanga inkomo zawo zonke, lezimvu zawo zonke, layo yonke inotho yawo.
10 And they burnt all their cities, wherein they dwelt, and all their villages with fire.
Batshisa ngomlilo yonke imizi ayehlala kiyo, lazo zonke izinqaba zawo.
11 And they tooke all the spoyle and all the pray both of men and beastes.
Bathatha yonke impango lakho konke okuthunjiweyo, kwabantu lokwezifuyo,
12 And they brought the captiues and that which they had taken, and the spoyle vnto Moses and to Eleazar the Priest, and vnto the Congregation of the children of Israel, into ye campe in the playne of Moab, which was by Iorden toward Iericho.
baletha abathunjiweyo lempango lokuthunjiweyo kuMozisi lakuEleyazare umpristi, lakunhlangano yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, enkambeni emagcekeni akoMowabi, aseJordani eJeriko.
13 Then Moses and Eleazar the Priest, and all the princes of the Congregation went out of the campe to meete them.
UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi leziphathamandla zonke zenhlangano basebephuma ukubahlangabeza ngaphandle kwenkamba.
14 And Moses was angry with the captaines of the hoste, with the captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer hundreds, which came from the warre and battel.
UMozisi wasethukuthelela induna zebutho, induna zezinkulungwane lenduna zamakhulu ezazivela ebuthweni lempi.
15 And Moses sayde vnto them, What? haue ye saued all the women?
UMozisi wasesithi kuzo: Liyekele yini abesifazana bonke ukuthi baphile?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel through the counsell of Balaam to commit a trespasse against the Lord, as concerning Peor, and there came a plague among the Congregation of the Lord.
Khangelani, yilaba abenza abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngeseluleko sikaBalami, ukuthi benze isiphambeko eNkosini endabeni yePeyori, kwaze kwaba lenhlupheko phakathi kwenhlangano yeNkosi.
17 Now therefore, slay all the males among the children, and kill all the women that haue knowen man by carnall copulation.
Ngakho-ke bulalani wonke owesilisa ebantwanyaneni, libulale wonke owesifazana owazi indoda ngokulala lendoda;
18 But all the women children that haue not knowen carnall copulation, keepe aliue for your selues.
kodwa bonke abantwanyana abesifazana abangazanga indoda ngokulala layo, libayekele baphile, babe ngabenu.
19 And ye shall remaine without the host seuen dayes, all that haue killed any person, and all that haue touched any dead, and purifie both your selues and your prisoners the third day and the seuenth.
Lina-ke, misani inkamba ngaphandle kwenkamba insuku eziyisikhombisa, loba ngubani obulele umuntu, laloba ngubani othinte obuleweyo, lizihlambulule lina labathunjiweyo benu ngosuku lwesithathu langosuku lwesikhombisa,
20 Also ye shall purifie euery garment and all that is made of skins and al worke of goates heare, and all things made of wood.
lihlambulule sonke isembatho, layo yonke into eyenziweyo ngesikhumba, lakho konke okwenziweyo ngoboya bembuzi, layo yonke into eyenziweyo ngesihlahla.
21 And Eleazar ye Priest sayd vnto the men of warre, which went to the battel, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses,
UEleyazare umpristi wasesithi kumadoda empi ayephume impi: Lesi yisimiso somlayo iNkosi emlaye ngaso uMozisi:
22 As for gold, and siluer, brasse, yron, tynne, and lead:
Kuphela igolide, lesiliva, ithusi, insimbi, ithini, lomnuso,
23 Euen all that may abide the fire, yee shall make it goe through the fire, and it shalbe cleane: yet, it shalbe purified with the water of purification: and all that suffereth not the fire, yee shall cause to passe by the water.
yonke into engahlala emlilweni lizayidlulisa emlilweni, ihlambuluke; loba kunjalo izahlanjululwa ngamanzi okwehlukanisa. Lakho konke okungahlali emlilweni lizakudlulisa emanzini.
24 Ye shall wash also your clothes the seuenth day, and ye shalbe cleane: and afterward ye shall come into the Hoste.
Njalo lizahlamba izembatho zenu ngosuku lwesikhombisa, lihlambuluke, lemva kwalokho lingene enkambeni.
25 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
26 Take the summe of the praie that was taken, both of persons and of cattell, thou and Eleazar the Priest, and the chiefe fathers of the Congregation.
Thatha inani lonke lempango lokuthunjiweyo, okwabantu lokwezifuyo, wena, loEleyazare umpristi, lenhloko zaboyise zenhlangano;
27 And deuide the praye betweene the souldiers that went to the warre, and all the Congregation.
yehlukanisa impango ibe zingxenye ezimbili, phakathi kwabahlanganyela empini baphuma impi lenhlangano yonke.
28 And thou shalt take a tribute vnto ye Lord of the men of warre, which went out to battel: one person of fiue hundreth, both of the persons, and of the beeues, and of the asses, and of the sheepe.
Njalo thelisela iNkosi umthelo emadodeni empi ayephumele impi, umphefumulo owodwa phakathi kwamakhulu amahlanu, owabantu, lowenkomo, lowabobabhemi, lowezimvu,
29 Yee shall take it of their halfe and giue it vnto Eleazar the Priest, as an heaue offring of the Lord.
likuthathe kungxenye yawo eyodwa kwezimbili, njalo ukunike uEleyazare umpristi kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi.
30 But of the halfe of the children of Israel thou shalt take one, taken out of fiftie, both of the persons, of the beeues, of the asses, and of the sheepe, euen of all the cattel: and thou shalt giue them vnto the Leuites, which haue the charge of the Tabernacle of the Lord.
Lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yabantwana bakoIsrayeli thatha isabelo esisodwa kwezingamatshumi amahlanu, esabantu, esezinkomo, esabobabhemi, lesezimvu, kuso sonke isifuyo, ukunike amaLevi alondoloza imfanelo yethabhanekele leNkosi.
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebesenza njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
32 And the bootie, to wit, the rest of the praie which the men of warre had spoyled, was sixe hundreth seuentie and fiue thousand sheepe,
Lempango eyayisele lokuthunjiweyo abantu bempi abakuthumbayo yayiyizimvu ezizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu,
33 And seuentie and two thousand beeues,
lenkomo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa lambili,
34 And three score and one thousand asses,
labobabhemi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisithupha lanye,
35 And two and thirtie thousande persons in all, of women that had lyen by no man.
lemiphefumulo yabantu besifazana abangazanga ukulala lendoda, bonke abantu babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lambili.
36 And the halfe, to wit, the part of them that went out to warre touching the nomber of sheepe, was three hundreth seuen and thirtie thousand, and fiue hundreth.
Lengxenye, isabelo sababephumele impi, ngenani, yayiyizimvu ezizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu;
37 And the Lordes tribute of the sheepe was sixe hundreth and seuentie and fiue:
lomthelo eNkosini wezimvu wawungamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.
38 And the beeues were six and thirty thousad, whereof the Lordes tribute was seuentie and two.
Lenkomo zazizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesithupha; lomthelo wazo eNkosini wawungamatshumi ayisikhombisa lambili.
39 And the asses were thirtie thousande and fiue hundreth, whereof the Lordes tribute was three score and one:
Labobabhemi babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lamakhulu amahlanu; lomthelo wabo eNkosini wawungamatshumi ayisithupha lanye.
40 And of persons sixtene thousand, whereof the Lordes tribute was two and thirtie persons.
Lemiphefumulo yabantu yayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesithupha; lomthelo wayo eNkosini wawungabantu abangamatshumi amathathu lambili.
41 And Moses gaue the tribute of the Lordes offring vnto Eleazar the Priest, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
UMozisi wasenika umthelo, umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kuEleyazare umpristi, njengalokho iNkosi yamlaya uMozisi.
42 And of the halfe of the children of Israel, which Moses deuided from the men of warre,
Lokwengxenye yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, uMozisi ayehlukanise ivela emadodeni ayelwe impi.
43 (For the halfe that perteined vnto the Congregation, was three hundreth thirtie and seuen thousand sheepe and fiue hundreth,
Lengxenye engeyenhlangano, eyezimvu, yayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu,
44 And sixe and thirtie thousand beeues,
lenkomo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesithupha,
45 And thirtie thousand asses, and fiue hudreth,
labobabhemi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lamakhulu amahlanu,
46 And sixteene thousande persons)
lemiphefumulo yabantu abayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesithupha.
47 Moses, I say, tooke of the halfe that perteined vnto the children of Israel, one taken out of fiftie, both of the persons, and of the cattell, and gaue them vnto the Leuites, which haue the charge of the Tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Lakuyo ingxenye yabantwana bakoIsrayeli uMozisi wathatha isabelo esisodwa kwezingatshumini amahlanu, esabantu lesezifuyo, wakunika amaLevi ayelondoloza imfanelo yethabhanekele leNkosi, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
48 Then the captaines which were ouer thousandes of the hoste, the captaines ouer the thousandes, and the captaines ouer the hundreds came vnto Moses:
Iziphathamandla ezaziphezu kwezinkulungwane zebutho, izinduna zezinkulungwane lezinduna zamakhulu, zasezisondela kuMozisi,
49 And saide to Moses, Thy seruants haue taken the summe of the men of warre which are vnder our authoritie, and there lacketh not one man of vs.
zathi kuMozisi: Izinceku zakho sezithethe inani lonke lamadoda empi ayengaphansi kwesandla sethu; njalo kakulamuntu ongekho kithi.
50 We haue therefore brought a present vnto the Lord, what euery man found of iewels of golde, bracelets, and cheines, rings, eare ringes, and ornaments of the legges, to make an atonement for our soules before the Lord.
Ngakho silethile umnikelo weNkosi, ngulowo lalowo awutholileyo, izinto zegolide, izigqizo, lamasongo, izindandatho, amacici, lezigqizo zentanyeni, ukwenzela imiphefumulo yethu inhlawulo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi.
51 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest tooke the golde of them, and all wrought iewels,
UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebesemukela igolide kuzo, zonke izinto ezenziwe ngobungcitshi.
52 And all the golde of the offring that they offered vp to the Lord (of the captaines ouer thousands and hundreds) was sixteene thousande seuen hundreth and fiftie shekels,
Lalo lonke igolide lomnikelo abalinikela eNkosini, livela ezinduneni zezinkulungwane lezinduneni zamakhulu lalingamashekeli azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesithupha lamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamatshumi amahlanu.
53 (For the men of warre had spoyled, euery man for him selfe)
Amadoda empi ayethethe impango, yileyo laleyo engeyayo.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest tooke the golde of the captaines ouer the thousandes, and ouer the hundreds, and brought it into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, for a memoriall of the children of Israel before the Lord.
UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebesemukela igolide enduneni zezinkulungwane lezamakhulu, baliletha ethenteni lenhlangano, kube yisikhumbuzo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli phambi kweNkosi.
