Numbers 31
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
2 'Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites; afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.'
“Woolera eggwanga ly’abaana ba Isirayiri ku Bamidiyaani, oluvannyuma olyoke ogende abantu bo bonna gye balaga.”
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.
Awo Musa n’agamba abantu nti, “Muyungule okuva mu mmwe abasajja abalwanyi mubawe ebyokulwanyisa, beetegekere olutalo, batabaale Midiyaani bawoolere eggwanga lya Mukama Katonda ku Midiyaani.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.'
Mu buli kika kya Isirayiri mujja kuggyamu abasajja lukumi abanaagenda okutabaala.”
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Awo ne baleeta okuva ku nkumi za Isirayiri abasajja lukumi okuva mu buli kika be balwanyi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri abeetegekera olutabaalo.
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.
Musa n’abasindika mu lutalo, abalwanyi lukumi nga bava mu buli kika; ne Finekaasi mutabani wa Eriyazaali kabona, n’ebintu by’omu watukuvu n’amakondeere ag’okulwana ng’ali nago.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
Ne batabaala Midiyaani nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa, ne batta buli musajja.
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.
Mu battibwa mwe mwagendera ne bakabaka ba Midiyaani bano abataano: Evi, ne Lekemu, ne Zuuli, ne Kuula, ne Leeba. Balamu mutabani wa Byoli naye baamuttiramu n’ekitala.
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.
Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bawamba abakazi ba Midiyaani n’abaana baabwe, ne banyaga ente n’ebisibo byabwe n’ebintu ebirala bingi.
10 And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
Baayokya ebibuga by’Abamidiyaani mwe baabeeranga, awamu n’ensiisira zaabwe zonna.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
Baatwala omunyago gwonna, nga mulimu n’abantu n’ensolo;
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.
ne babireeta awali Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona n’ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri mu lusiisira lwabwe olwali mu nsenyi za Mowaabu eziri ku mugga Yoludaani okutunuulira emitala wa Yeriko.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona n’abakulembeze mu kibiina bonna ne bagenda okusisinkana abatabaazi ebweru w’olusiisira.
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.
Musa n’anyiigira abakulembeze b’eggye, abaduumizi b’ebikumi n’abaduumizi b’enkumi abaakomawo nga bava mu lutabaalo.
15 And Moses said unto them: 'Have ye saved all the women alive?
Musa n’ababuuza nti, “Abakazi bonna temubasse?
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.
Mumanyi nga be baaleetera abaana ba Isirayiri okujeemera Mukama Katonda e Peoli bwe baakolera ku magezi Balamu ge yabawanga, kawumpuli amale alumbe ekibiina kya Mukama.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Kale nno mutte buli mulenzi mu baana abato, era mutte na buli mukazi eyali yeegasseeko n’omusajja.
18 But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Naye abawala abato abatamanyanga musajja, mubeeterekere.
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.
“Musiisire ebweru w’olusiisira okumala ennaku musanvu. Buli omu mu mmwe eyatta omuntu yenna, n’oyo eyakwatako ku gwe basse, mwetukuze awamu n’abanyage bammwe ku lunaku olwokusatu ne ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.
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.'
Mutukuze buli kyambalo ne buli kintu ekyakolebwa mu maliba, oba mu bwoya bw’embuzi oba mu muti.”
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:
Awo Eriyazaali kabona n’agamba abasajja abaatabaala nti, “Lino lye tteeka Mukama Katonda ly’alagidde Musa:
22 Howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’ekikomo, n’ekyuma, n’ebbaati, n’essasi
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.
n’ekirala kyonna ekigumira omuliro mukiyise mu muliro kiryoke kibeere ekirongoofu. Naye era kisaana okulongoosebwa n’amazzi agalongoosa. Ebyo byonna ebitaasobole kuyita mu muliro biyisibwe mu mazzi ago.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye may come into the camp.'
Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu mwozanga engoye zammwe, mulyoke mubeere abalongoofu. Ebyo nga biwedde mulyoke muyingire mu lusiisira.”
25 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
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;
“Ggwe ne Eriyazaali kabona, n’abakulembeze b’empya ez’omu kibiina mubale obungi bw’omunyago ogwaleetebwa omuli abantu n’ebisolo.
27 and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation;
Omunyago gugabanyeemu mu bitundu bibiri: eky’abatabaazi abaalwana olutalo n’ekyabaasigala mu kibiina.
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;
Munaggya ku basajja abaatabaala ekitundu kimu ku buli bikumi bitaano, nga gwe musolo gwa Mukama Katonda, oba bantu, oba nte, oba ndogoyi, oba ndiga oba mbuzi.
29 take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, as a portion set apart for the LORD.
Omusolo ogwo mujja kuguggya ku kitundu ekya wakati ekinaagabanibwa abatabaazi mukiwe Eriyazaali kabona nga kye kitundu kya Mukama Katonda.
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.'
Ku munyago gw’abaana ba Isirayiri abasigaddewo munaggyako ekitundu kimu ku bitundu ataano, oba bantu, oba nte, oba ndogoyi, oba ndiga oba mbuzi oba ensolo endala zonna. Ebyo mujja kubiwa Abaleevi, abalabirira Weema ya Mukama.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Bwe batyo Musa ne Eriyazaali bwe baakola, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
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,
Omunyago ogwasigalawo abatabaazi gwe beetwalira gwali bwe guti: Endiga, emitwalo nkaaga mu musanvu mu enkumi ttaano.
33 and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
Ente, emitwalo musanvu mu enkumi bbiri.
34 and threescore and one thousand asses,
Endogoyi, emitwalo mukaaga mu lukumi,
35 and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
n’abakazi abatamanyangako basajja emitwalo esatu mu enkumi bbiri.
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.
Ekitundu eky’omu makkati eky’omunyago eky’abo abaatabaala kyali bwe kiti: Endiga, obusiriivu busatu mu emitwalo esatu mu kasanvu mu bitaano;
37 And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
ku ezo kwaliko ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda lukaaga mu nsavu mu ttaano.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.
Ente, emitwalo esatu mu kakaaga, ng’ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda nsanvu mu bbiri.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.
Endogoyi, emitwalo esatu mu bitaano, ng’ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda zaali nkaaga mu emu.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.
Abantu omutwalo gumu mu kakaaga; ng’ab’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda baali amakumi asatu mu babiri.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was set apart for the LORD, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Omusolo gwa Mukama, Musa n’aguwa Eriyazaali kabona, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
42 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred —
Ekitundu eky’omu makkati eky’omunyago ogwaweebwa abaana ba Isirayiri nga Musa amaze okuggyako ogw’abatabaazi abaalwana mu lutalo,
43 now the congregation's half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
ekitundu ekyo kyali bwe kiti: Endiga, emitwalo asatu mu esatu mu bitaano;
44 and thirty and six thousand beeves,
Ente, emitwalo esatu mu kakaaga;
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
Endogoyi, emitwalo esatu mu bitaano;
46 and sixteen thousand persons —
n’abantu omutwalo gumu mu kakaaga.
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.
Ekitundu eky’omugabo eky’abaana ba Isirayiri, Musa n’aggyako ekitundu kimu ku buli bitundu ataano byombi eby’abantu n’eby’ebisolo, n’abiwa Abaleevi abaalabiriranga Weema ya Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
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;
Awo abakulembeze b’ebibinja mu ggye abaaduumiranga ebikumi n’abaaduumiranga enkumi, ne bajja eri Musa,
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.
ne bamugamba nti, “Abaweereza bo tubaze abatabaazi bonna be tutwala, nga tewaliiwo n’omu abulawo.
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.'
Noolwekyo tuleetedde Mukama Katonda ekiweebwayo nga kya bintu ebya zaabu buli omu ku ffe bye yanyaga; mwe muli ebikomo eby’oku mikono, emikuufu egy’oku magulu, empeta z’oku ngalo n’empeta ez’omu matu n’obutiiti obw’omu bulago, twetangiririre mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona, ne bakkiriza ebyaleetebwa omwali zaabu n’ebyomuwendo ebirala byonna.
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. —
Zaabu yenna abaduumizi b’enkumi, n’abaduumizi b’ebikumi gwe baleeta eri Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona, okuwaayo eri Mukama Katonda, yali apima obuzito bwa kilo kikumi mu kyenda.
53 For the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself. —
Buli mutabaazi yali yeenyagiddeyo ebintu ebibye ku bubwe.
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.
Awo Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona ne baddira zaabu eyaleetebwa abaduumizi b’enkumi n’abaduumizi b’ebikumi, ne bamuleeta mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, okubeeranga ekijjukizo eri abaana ba Isirayiri mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.
