Numbers 31
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
2 'Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites; afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.'
“Taa ndị Midia ahụhụ, ka i si otu a bọọrọ ndị Izrel ọbọ ihe ọjọọ ndị Midia mere ha. Mgbe i mesịrị nke a, ị ga-anwụ.”
3 And Moses spoke unto the people, saying: 'Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD'S vengeance on Midian.
Ya mere, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel okwu sị, “Kwadoonụ ndị ikom unu ibuso ndị Midia agha, maka ịbọtara Onyenwe anyị ọbọ.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.'
Sinụ nʼebo ọbụla dị nʼIzrel gụpụta puku ndị ikom puku ndị ikom.”
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Ya mere, e sitere nʼigwe ndị ikom niile nọ nʼIzrel zipụ puku ndị ikom iri na abụọ, ka ha gaa buo agha. Ebo ọbụla zipụrụ otu puku ndị ikom.
6 And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
Mosis zipụrụ ha ibu agha, otu puku, otu puku site nʼebo ọbụla. Finehaz nwa Elieza, onye nchụaja, du ha gaa agha ahụ. O bu ngwongwo si nʼebe nsọ, tinyere opi ike nke a ga-afụ.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
Ha busoro ndị Midia agha dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu. Ha gburu onye ọbụla bụ nwoke.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
Nʼime ndị ha gburu nʼagha ahụ bụ ndị eze Midia ise a na-akpọ Evi, Rekem, Zua, Hua na Reba. Ha jikwa mma agha gbuo Belam nwa Beoa.
9 And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
Ndị agha Izrel chịkọtara ndị inyom niile, na ụmụntakịrị niile nọ nʼala Midia dịka ndị ha dọtara nʼagha. Ha chịkọtara ngwongwo niile ndị Midia ji biri, tinyere igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ ha niile, dịka ihe ha dọtara nʼagha.
10 And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
Emesịa, ha mụnyere ọkụ nʼobodo ndị Midia niile na ebe ha mara ụlọ ikwu, rechapụ ha nʼọkụ.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
Ha chịkọtara ihe niile ha dọtara nʼagha, ma mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ.
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
Ndị a niile ha dọtara nʼagha na ngwongwo niile ha lụtara nʼagha ka ha buteere Mosis, na Elieza onye nchụaja na ọgbakọ Izrel niile na mbara ala Moab, nʼakụkụ osimiri Jọdan na ncherita ihu Jeriko.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja na ndị ndu ọgbakọ Izrel niile pụrụ gaa zute ha nʼazụ ebe ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
Ma Mosis were iwe megide ndịisi agha, ya bụ ndị ahụ na-achị imerime puku ndị agha, na ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, ndị si ibu agha lọta.
15 And Moses said unto them: 'Have ye saved all the women alive?
Mosis jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji debe ndị inyom niile ndị a ndụ?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to revolt so as to break faith with the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD.
Ọ bụ ndị a bụ ndị gbasoro ndụmọdụ Belam, rafuo ndị Izrel mee ka ha ghọọ ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị nʼihe gbasara okwu Peoa. Ọ bụ nke a mere ka nrịa nrịa ọjọọ ahụ na-efe efe dakwasị ndị nke Onyenwe anyị.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Ugbu a, gbuonụ ụmụnta ndị nwoke niile, na ndị inyom niile matarala nwoke.
18 But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Naanị ụmụntakịrị ndị nwanyị ha nke nwoke na-edinabeghị ka unu ga-ahapụ ka ha dịrị ndụ. Unu nwere ike debere onwe unu ndị dị otu a.
19 And encamp ye without the camp seven days; whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.
“Ma ugbu a, unu niile bụ ndị soro gbuo mmadụ, maọbụ bitụ ozu ha aka, unu abatala nʼime ogige Izrel tutu ụbọchị asaa agafee. Nʼoge a, doonụ onwe unu ọcha, dokwaanụ ndị niile unu dọtara nʼagha ọcha, nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa.
20 And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify.'
Debekwanụ uwe niile ọcha, ya na ihe niile e ji akpụkpọ anụ na ajị ewu, maọbụ osisi, mee.”
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle: 'This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded Moses:
Mgbe ahụ, Elieza onye nchụaja gwara ndị ikom niile ahụ jere agha okwu sị ha, “Nke a bụ iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis.
22 Howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Otu ọ dị ọlaedo, ọlaọcha, bronz, igwe, gbamgbam na opu,
23 every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sprinkling; and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.
na ihe ọ bụla ọzọ bụ nke ga-anagide ọkụ, ka a ga-eme ka ọ gabiga site nʼọkụ, mgbe ahụ ọ ga-adịkwa ọcha. Ma aghaghị ịga nʼihu ime ka ha dị ọcha site nʼịsacha ha nʼime mmiri nke nsacha. Ma ihe ọbụla nke na-agaghị anagide ọkụ ka a ga-eji mmiri sachaa, maka ido ya ọcha.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye may come into the camp.'
Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, unu aghaghị ịsacha uwe unu niile, bụrụ ndị dị ọcha. Mgbe ahụ, unu pụrụ ịlọghachi nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị Izrel.”
25 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
26 'Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation;
“Gị na Elieza onye nchụaja, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ nke ọgbakọ Izrel niile, ga-agụkọ ihe niile unu dọtara nʼagha chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ mmadụ na anụmanụ.
27 and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation;
Mgbe ahụ, kee ihe ndị a niile ụzọ abụọ. Ọkara ya ga-abụ nke ndị ikom ahụ niile gara agha, ma ọkara nke ọzọ ka a ga-enye ọgbakọ Izrel niile.
28 and levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks;
Ma Onyenwe anyị nwere oke site nʼoke ndị ahụ jere agha: mmadụ, na ehi niile, na ịnyịnya ibu niile, na atụrụ na ewu niile. Oke Onyenwe anyị bụ otu ụzọ nʼime narị ise ọbụla.
29 take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, as a portion set apart for the LORD.
Nye Elieza onye nchụaja oke sitere nʼaja a dịka ihe Onyenwe anyị ketara.
30 And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.'
Otu aka ahụ kwa, site nʼoke ndị Izrel ga-eketa, kee ụtụ. Otu ụzọ nʼime iri ise, maọbụ mmadụ, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ atụrụ, maọbụ ewu, maọbụ igwe anụ ụlọ ụzọ. Were ha nye ndị Livayị, ndị ọ dị nʼaka ilekọta ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị, ka ọ bụrụ oke nke ha.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Ya mere, Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu.
32 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
Ihe nweta bụ nke fọdụrụ nʼihe ndị agha lụtara nʼagha bụ ndị a, bụ atụrụ dị narị puku isii, iri puku asaa na puku ise,
33 and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
Ehi dị iri puku asaa na puku abụọ,
34 and threescore and one thousand asses,
ịnyịnya ibu dị iri puku isii na otu puku,
35 and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
Ụmụ agbọghọ na-amatabeghị nwoke dị iri puku atọ na puku abụọ.
36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep.
Ya mere, ọkara e nyere ndị gara lụọ agha dị: Igwe ewu na atụrụ dị narị puku atọ na iri puku atọ na puku asaa na narị ise.
37 And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
Nʼime ya, ụtụ e nyere Onyenwe anyị site nʼigwe atụrụ ahụ dị narị isii na iri asaa na ise.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.
Igwe ehi dị iri puku atọ na puku isii. Nʼime ya, ihe e nyere Onyenwe anyị bụ iri asaa na abụọ.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.
Ịnyịnya ibu dị iri puku atọ na narị ise. Nke e nyere Onyenwe anyị bụ iri isii na otu.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.
Ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ agbọghọ dị puku iri na isii. Ndị e nyere Onyenwe anyị dị iri atọ na abụọ.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was set apart for the LORD, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Mosis nyere Elieza bụ onye nchụaja Onyenwe anyị oke nʼihe ndị ahụ niile a tụrụ nʼụtụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred —
Ma ọkara nke ahụ dịrị ndị Izrel, nke Mosis kewapụtara site na nke ndị ikom lụrụ agha.
43 now the congregation's half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
Ọkara nke nzukọ dị, igwe ewu na atụrụ, narị puku atọ, iri puku atọ, puku asaa na narị ise,
44 and thirty and six thousand beeves,
igwe ehi, iri puku atọ na isii,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
ịnyịnya ibu, iri puku atọ na narị ise,
46 and sixteen thousand persons —
ụmụ agbọghọ, puku iri na isii.
47 even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Site nʼoke ndị Izrel Mosis họpụtara otu ụzọ nʼime iri ise, ma mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu. O nyere ha ndị Livayị na-elekọta ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị mmadụ na anụ ụlọ ndị a.
48 And the officers that were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses;
Mgbe ahụ, ndịisi agha niile na ndị ọchịagha na-achị imerime puku ndị agha, na ndị na-achị narị ndị agha bịakwutere Mosis,
49 and they said unto Moses: 'Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
sị ya, “Ndị ohu gị agụọla ndị niile gara agha nọ nʼokpuru anyị, chọpụta na o nweghị onye ọbụla a na-achọ achọ.
50 And we have brought the LORD'S offering, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and girdles, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.'
Ya mere, anyị wetaara Onyenwe anyị onyinye site nʼihe anyị kwatara nʼagha. Onyinye anyị bụ ihe onye ọbụla nwetara, ihe ọlaedo a na-agba nʼụkwụ na mgbaaka, na ọlaaka ikike, na ọlantị na ihe iyi nʼolu niile, i ji ha chụọ aja mkpuchi mmehie nʼihi onwe anyị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja natara onyinye ọlaedo ndị ahụ bụ ihe a kpụrụ akpụ site nʼaka ha.
52 And all the gold of the gift that they set apart for the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. —
Ịdị arọ nke ihe ọlaedo niile nke ndị ọchịagha na-achị imerime puku ndị agha, na ndị na-achị narị ndị agha, nke Mosis na Elieza chere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka onyinye, dị narị kilogram na iri itoolu.
53 For the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself. —
Ndị ahụ lụrụ agha ahụ nwekwara ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ ha debeere onwe ha.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja natara onyinye ọlaedo ndị a dị iche site nʼaka ndị ọchịagha na-achị ọtụtụ puku ndị agha na narị ndị agha. E webatara onyinye ndị a nʼụlọ nzute, debe ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ka ọ bụrụ ihe ncheta nye Onyenwe anyị nʼihi ndị Izrel niile.
