Numbers 31
1 AND the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
“Rĩhĩria andũ a Isiraeli harĩ andũ a Midiani. Na thuutha ũcio nĩũgũcooka ũkue.”
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Andũ amwe anyu nĩmeohe indo ciao cia mbaara mathiĩ makahũũrane na andũ a Midiani nĩguo marĩhĩrie Jehova kũrĩ o.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
Tũmai andũ 1,000 kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga wa Isiraeli mbaara-inĩ.”
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ 12,000 meeohete indo cia mbaara, o 1,000 kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga, makĩneanwo kuuma mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
Musa akĩmatũma mbaara-inĩ, o 1,000 kuuma harĩ o mũhĩrĩga, marĩ hamwe na Finehasi mũrũ wa Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa wakuuire indo cia handũ-harĩa-haamũre, o na tũrumbeta twa kũhuhwo.
7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
Nao makĩhũũrana na andũ a Midiani o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa, na makĩũraga arũme othe.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
Gatagatĩ ka arĩa mooragire nĩ Evi, na Rekemu, na Zuru, na Huri, na Reba, athamaki arĩa atano a Midiani. O na ningĩ nĩmooragire Balamu mũrũ wa Beori na rũhiũ rwa njora.
9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtaha andũ-a-nja a Midiani na ciana, na magĩkuua ndũũru ciothe cia andũ a Midiani cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri, na magĩtaha indo iria ingĩ ciothe.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
Magĩcina matũũra mothe kũrĩa andũ a Midiani maatũũrĩte, o ũndũ ũmwe na kambĩ ciao.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
Magĩkuua indo ciothe iria maatahĩte na iria maatunyanĩte hamwe na andũ na nyamũ,
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
na magĩtwara andũ arĩa matahĩtwo na indo icio maatunyanĩte, na iria maatahĩte kũrĩ Musa na kũrĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na kũrĩ kĩũngano kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kũu kambĩ yarĩ werũ-inĩ wa Moabi, hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũrĩmo wa Jeriko.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
Musa, na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na atongoria othe a kĩrĩndĩ magĩthiĩ kũmatũnga nja ya kambĩ.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
Musa akĩrakarĩra anene a mbũtũ icio cia ita na atongoria a mbũtũ cia o ngiri, ngiri, na atongoria a mbũtũ cia o igana, igana, arĩa moimĩte mbaara-inĩ.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mwĩtĩkĩrĩtie andũ a nja othe matũũre muoyo?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord.
Acio nĩo maarũmĩrĩire mataaro ma Balamu, na nĩo maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli matirike Jehova ũhoro-inĩ ũrĩa wekĩkire kũu Peori, naguo ũndũ ũcio ũkĩrehithĩria andũ a Jehova mũthiro.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũragai tũhĩĩ tuothe. Na ningĩ mũũrage mũndũ-wa-nja wothe ũrĩ wakoma na mũndũ mũrũme,
18 But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
no mwĩhonokerie mũirĩtu o wothe ũrĩa ũtarĩ wakoma na mũndũ mũrũme.
19 And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
“Inyuothe arĩa mũũragĩte mũndũ o wothe kana mũkahutia mũndũ o wothe mũũrage no nginya mũikare nja ya kambĩ mĩthenya mũgwanja. Mũthenya wa ĩtatũ na wa mũgwanja, no nginya mwĩtherie inyuĩ ene na arĩa mũtahĩte.
20 And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.
Theriai nguo ciothe, o ũndũ ũmwe na kĩndũ gĩothe gĩthondeketwo na rũũa, kana guoya wa mbũri kana mbaũ.”
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord commanded Moses;
Ningĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩĩra thigari iria ciathiĩte mbaara-inĩ atĩrĩ, “Watho ũrĩa Jehova aaheire Musa uugĩte atĩrĩ:
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Thahabu, na betha, na gĩcango, na kĩgera, na ibati, na rũbũũa
23 Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
na kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩngĩhota gwĩtiiria mwaki, no nginya kĩhĩtũkagĩrio mwaki-inĩ nĩgeetha gĩthirwo nĩ thaahu. No rĩrĩ, no nginya gĩcooke gĩtherio na maaĩ marĩa ma kũniina thaahu. Nakĩo kĩndũ gĩothe gĩtangĩĩtiiria mwaki no nginya kĩhĩtũkĩrio maaĩ-inĩ macio.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
Mũthenya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, thambiai nguo cianyu na inyuĩ nĩ mũgaathirwo nĩ thaahu. Thuutha ũcio no mũtoonye kambĩ.”
25 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
“Wee na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na atongoria a nyũmba cia kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ no nginya mũtare andũ othe na nyamũ iria ciatahirwo.
27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
Gayaniai indo cia iria ndahe gatagatĩ ga thigari iria ciathiĩte mbaara-inĩ na kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
28 And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
Kuuma kũrĩ thigari iria ciarũire mbaara, rutai gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova, kĩndũ kĩmwe thĩinĩ wa indo magana matano, marĩ andũ, kana ngʼombe, kana ndigiri, kana ngʼondu, o na kana mbũri.
29 Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the Lord.
Oya gĩcunjĩ gĩkĩ kuuma harĩ nuthu ya igai rĩao mũkĩnengere Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai kĩrĩ gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova.
30 And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.
Kuuma kũrĩ nuthu ya gĩcunjĩ kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, thuura kĩndũ kĩmwe kuuma harĩ o gĩkundi kĩa mĩrongo ĩtano, kĩrĩ kĩa andũ, kana ngʼombe, kana ndigiri, kana ngʼondu, kana mbũri o na kana nyamũ ingĩ. Cinengere Alawii arĩa wĩra wao ũrĩ kũmenyerera Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
32 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
Indo cia gũtahwo cia iria ciatigarĩte kuuma kũrĩ indo iria ciatunyanĩtwo nĩ thigari ciarĩ ngʼondu 675,000,
33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
na ngʼombe 72,000,
34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
na ndigiri 61,000
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
na andũ-a-nja 32,000 arĩa mataakomete na mũndũ mũrũme.
36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
Nuthu ya igai rĩa andũ arĩa maarũĩte mbaara-inĩ ciarĩ: ngʼondu 337,500,
37 And the Lord’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ngʼondu 675;
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the Lord’s tribute was threescore and twelve.
nacio ngʼombe ciarĩ 36,000 na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ngʼombe 72;
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the Lord’s tribute was threescore and one.
nacio ndigiri ciarĩ 30,500, na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ndigiri 61;
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the Lord’s tribute was thirty and two persons.
andũ maarĩ 16,000, na kuuma kũrĩ o Jehova akĩrutĩrwo andũ 32.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Musa akĩnengera Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
42 And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
Nuthu ĩrĩa yarĩ ya andũ a Isiraeli, ĩrĩa Musa aamũranĩtie na arĩa maathiĩte mbaara-inĩ,
43 (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
nuthu ĩrĩa yaheirwo kĩrĩndĩ ciarĩ ngʼondu 337,500,
44 And thirty and six thousand beeves,
nacio ngʼombe ciarĩ 36,000,
45 And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
nacio ndigiri ciarĩ 30,500,
46 And sixteen thousand persons; )
nao andũ maarĩ 16,000.
47 Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.
Kuuma kũrĩ nuthu ĩrĩa yaheirwo andũ a Isiraeli, Musa agĩthuura mũndũ ũmwe kuuma kũrĩ andũ mĩrongo ĩtano, na nyamũ ĩmwe kuuma kũrĩ nyamũ mĩrongo ĩtano, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte, na agĩcihe Alawii arĩa wĩra wao warĩ kũmenyerera Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova.
48 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
Ningĩ anene arĩa matongoragia mbũtũ cia ita, acio maathaga ikundi cia o ngiri ngiri, na ikundi cia o igana igana, magĩthiĩ harĩ Musa,
49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ciaku nĩitarĩte thigari iria twathaga na hatirĩ o na ũmwe ũtarĩ ho.
50 We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtwarehe indo ici cia thahabu ituĩke iruta riitũ kũrĩ Jehova iria o ũmwe witũ eegwatĩire, nacio nĩ icũhĩ cia moko na bangiri cia moko, na icũhĩ cia ciara, na cia matũ, na mĩgathĩ ya ngingo, nĩguo twĩhoroherie mbere ya Jehova.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩamũkĩra thahabu ĩyo kuuma kũrĩ o, indo icio ciothe ciaturĩtwo wega.
52 And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
Thahabu yothe ĩrĩa yoimire kũrĩ anene a ikundi cia o ngiri, ngiri na anene a ikundi cia o igana, igana ĩrĩa Musa na Eleazaru maatwarĩire Jehova kĩrĩ kĩheo, yarĩ ya ũritũ wa cekeri 16,750.
53 (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
O mũthigari nĩetahĩire indo ciake.
54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.
Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩamũkĩra thahabu ĩyo kuuma kũrĩ anene a ikundi cia o ngiri, ngiri na anene a ikundi cia o igana, igana magĩcirehe Hema-inĩ ya Gũtũnganwo ituĩke kĩririkania harĩ andũ a Isiraeli mbere ya Jehova.
