Numbers 31
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
2 Reuenge the children of Israel of the Midianites, and afterwarde shalt thou be gathered vnto thy people.
“Uwalipize kisasi Wamidiani kwa ajili ya Waisraeli. Halafu baada ya hayo, utakufa.”
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.
Kwa hiyo Mose akawaambia watu, “Waandaeni baadhi ya wanaume wenu waende vitani kupigana na Wamidiani ili wawalipize kisasi cha Bwana.
4 A thousande of euery tribe throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye sende to the warre.
Peleka wanaume 1,000 vitani kutoka kila kabila la Israeli.”
5 So there were taken out of the thousands of Israel, twelue thousande prepared vnto warre, of euery tribe a thousand.
Kwa hiyo waliandaliwa wanaume 12,000 kwa vita, wanaume 1,000 kutoka kila kabila, walitolewa kutoka koo za Israeli.
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.
Mose aliwatuma vitani, watu 1,000 kutoka kila kabila, pamoja na Finehasi mwana wa kuhani Eleazari, ambaye alichukua vyombo vya mahali patakatifu na tarumbeta za kuashiria.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the Lord had commanded Moses, and slue all the males.
Walipigana dhidi ya Wamidiani, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose, nao waliua kila mwanaume.
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:
Miongoni mwa watu waliouawa walikuwepo wafalme watano wa Midiani, nao ni Evi, Rekemu, Suri, Huri na Reba. Vilevile walimuua Balaamu mwana wa Beori kwa upanga.
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.
Waisraeli waliwateka wanawake wa Kimidiani pamoja na watoto wao na walichukua makundi ya ngʼombe, kondoo na mali zao kama nyara.
10 And they burnt all their cities, wherein they dwelt, and all their villages with fire.
Walichoma moto miji yote ambayo Wamidiani walikuwa wanaishi, pamoja na kambi zao zote.
11 And they tooke all the spoyle and all the pray both of men and beastes.
Walichukua nyara zote na mateka, pamoja na watu na wanyama,
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.
nao waliwaleta wafungwa mateka na nyara kwa Mose na kwa kuhani Eleazari, nao Waisraeli walikusanyika kwenye kambi zao katika tambarare za nchi ya Moabu, kando ya Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko.
13 Then Moses and Eleazar the Priest, and all the princes of the Congregation went out of the campe to meete them.
Mose, kuhani Eleazari na viongozi wote wa jumuiya wakatoka kuwalaki nje ya kambi.
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.
Mose aliwakasirikia maafisa wa jeshi, yaani hao wakuu wa jeshi wa maelfu na wakuu wa jeshi wa mamia, ambao walirudi kutoka vitani.
15 And Moses sayde vnto them, What? haue ye saued all the women?
Mose akawauliza, “Je, mmewaacha wanawake wote hai?”
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.
“Wanawake hao ndio waliofuata ushauri wa Balaamu, nao ndio waliowasababisha Waisraeli wamwasi Bwana kwa kile kilichotokea kule Peori, na kwa hiyo pigo liliwapata watu wa Bwana.
17 Now therefore, slay all the males among the children, and kill all the women that haue knowen man by carnall copulation.
Sasa waue wavulana wote. Pia muue kila mwanamke ambaye alikwisha fanya tendo la ndoa,
18 But all the women children that haue not knowen carnall copulation, keepe aliue for your selues.
lakini mwacheni hai kwa ajili yenu kila msichana ambaye kamwe hajawahi kuzini na mwanaume.
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.
“Ninyi nyote ambao mmeua mtu yeyote au kumgusa mtu yeyote ambaye ameuawa, lazima mkae nje ya kambi kwa muda wa siku saba. Katika siku ya tatu na ya saba lazima mjitakase wenyewe pamoja na wafungwa wenu.
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.
Takaseni kila vazi pamoja na kila kitu kilichotengenezwa kwa ngozi, kwa singa za mbuzi au kwa mti.”
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,
Kisha kuhani Eleazari aliwaambia askari waliokuwa wamekwenda vitani, “Haya ndiyo matakwa ya sheria ambayo Bwana alimpa Mose:
22 As for gold, and siluer, brasse, yron, tynne, and lead:
Dhahabu, fedha, shaba, chuma, bati, risasi,
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.
na kitu kingine chochote ambacho kinaweza kuhimili moto lazima mkipitishe kwenye moto, kisha kitakuwa safi. Lakini ni lazima pia kitakaswe kwa maji ya utakaso. Kitu chochote kisichoweza kuhimili moto lazima kipitishwe kwenye yale maji ya utakaso.
24 Ye shall wash also your clothes the seuenth day, and ye shalbe cleane: and afterward ye shall come into the Hoste.
Katika siku ya saba fueni nguo zenu, nanyi mtakuwa safi. Kisha mtaweza kuingia kambini.”
25 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Bwana akamwambia Mose,
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.
“Wewe na kuhani Eleazari pamoja na viongozi wa jamaa ya jumuiya mtahesabu watu wote na wanyama ambao walitekwa.
27 And deuide the praye betweene the souldiers that went to the warre, and all the Congregation.
Gawanyeni hizo nyara kati ya askari ambao walishiriki katika vita na kwa jumuiya.
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.
Kutoka fungu la wale waliokwenda kupigana vitani, tenga kama ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana kitu kimoja kati ya kila mia tano, ikiwa ni wanadamu, ngʼombe, punda, kondoo au mbuzi.
29 Yee shall take it of their halfe and giue it vnto Eleazar the Priest, as an heaue offring of the Lord.
Chukua ushuru huu kutoka fungu lao, umpe kuhani Eleazari kama sehemu ya Bwana.
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.
Kutoka fungu la Waisraeli, chukua kitu kimoja kati ya kila hamsini, ikiwa ni wanadamu, ngʼombe, punda, kondoo, mbuzi au wanyama wengine. Hivyo uwape Walawi, ambao wanawajibika kutunza Maskani ya Bwana.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Kwa hiyo Mose na kuhani Eleazari wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
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,
Nyara zilizobaki kutoka mateka ambayo askari walichukua ni kondoo 675,000,
33 And seuentie and two thousand beeues,
ngʼombe 72,000,
34 And three score and one thousand asses,
punda 61,000,
35 And two and thirtie thousande persons in all, of women that had lyen by no man.
na wanawake 32,000 ambao hawakumjua mume kwa kufanya tendo la ndoa.
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.
Nusu ya fungu la wale waliokwenda kupigana vitani lilikuwa: Kondoo 337,500
37 And the Lordes tribute of the sheepe was sixe hundreth and seuentie and fiue:
ambayo ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana ilikuwa kondoo 675;
38 And the beeues were six and thirty thousad, whereof the Lordes tribute was seuentie and two.
ngʼombe 36,000 ambao ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana ulikuwa ngʼombe 72;
39 And the asses were thirtie thousande and fiue hundreth, whereof the Lordes tribute was three score and one:
punda 30,500 ambao ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana ulikuwa punda 61;
40 And of persons sixtene thousand, whereof the Lordes tribute was two and thirtie persons.
Watu 16,000 ambao ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana ulikuwa watu 32.
41 And Moses gaue the tribute of the Lordes offring vnto Eleazar the Priest, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Mose alimpa kuhani Eleazari ushuru kama sehemu ya Bwana, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
42 And of the halfe of the children of Israel, which Moses deuided from the men of warre,
Ile nusu iliyokuwa ya Waisraeli, ambayo Mose aliitenga kutoka kwa ile ya watu waliokwenda vitani,
43 (For the halfe that perteined vnto the Congregation, was three hundreth thirtie and seuen thousand sheepe and fiue hundreth,
nusu iliyokuwa ya jumuiya, ilikuwa kondoo 337,500,
44 And sixe and thirtie thousand beeues,
ngʼombe 36,000,
45 And thirtie thousand asses, and fiue hudreth,
punda 30,500,
46 And sixteene thousande persons)
na wanadamu 16,000.
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.
Kutoka hiyo nusu iliyokuwa ya Waisraeli, Mose alichagua moja kati ya kila hamsini ya wanadamu na wanyama, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza, naye aliwapa Walawi, ambao waliwajibika kutunza Maskani ya Bwana.
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:
Kisha maafisa waliokuwa juu ya vikosi vya jeshi, wakuu wa jeshi wa maelfu na wakuu wa jeshi wa mamia, walimwendea Mose
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.
na kumwambia, “Watumishi wako wamehesabu askari walio chini ya amri yetu na hakuna hata mmoja aliyekosekana.
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.
Kwa hiyo tumeleta kama sadaka kwa Bwana vyombo vya dhahabu kila mmoja wetu alivyopata, yaani vikuku, bangili, pete za muhuri, vipuli na mikufu, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yetu mbele za Bwana.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the Priest tooke the golde of them, and all wrought iewels,
Mose na kuhani Eleazari wakapokea kutoka kwao dhahabu, yaani vyombo vyote vilivyonakshiwa.
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,
Dhahabu yote kutoka kwa wakuu wa jeshi wa maelfu na wakuu wa jeshi wa mamia ambavyo Mose na kuhani Eleazari walimletea Bwana kama zawadi ilikuwa shekeli 16,750
53 (For the men of warre had spoyled, euery man for him selfe)
Kila askari alikuwa amejichukulia nyara zake binafsi.
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.
Mose na kuhani Eleazari walipokea dhahabu kutoka kwa wakuu wa jeshi wa maelfu na wakuu wa jeshi wa mamia, wakazileta katika Hema la Kukutania kama ukumbusho kwa Waisraeli mbele za Bwana.
