Numbers 31
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
2 Execute the vengeance of the children of Israel on the Midianites, after which thou shalt 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 from yourselves some men for the army, and let them go against the Midianites, to execute the vengeance of the Lord on Midian.
Ya mere, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel okwu sị, “Kwadoonụ ndị ikom unu ibuso ndị Midia agha, maka ịbọtara Onyenwe anyị ọbọ.
4 A thousand each for every tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the army.
Sinụ nʼebo ọbụla dị nʼIzrel gụpụta puku ndị ikom puku ndị ikom.”
5 And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for the army.
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 army; them and Phinehas the son of Elazar the priest, to the army, with the holy vessels, and the trumpets for blowing 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 marched out against the Midianites, as the Lord had 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 the kings of Midian they slew, besides the rest of their men that were slain; namely, Evi and Rekem, and Zur, and Chur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; and Bil'am 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 captives the women of Midian, and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took as spoil.
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 wherein they dwelt, and all their castles 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 booty, both of men and of cattle.
Ha chịkọtara ihe niile ha dọtara nʼagha, ma mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ.
12 And they brought unto Moses, and to Elazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, the captives, and the booty, and the spoil, unto the camp, to the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan opposite 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 Elazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them, to 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 over the thousands, and the captains over the hundreds, who had come from the war-campaign.
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 allowed all the females to live?
Mosis jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji debe ndị inyom niile ndị a ndụ?
16 Behold, these chiefly were the cause unto the children of Israel, through the counsel of Bil'am, to commit the gross trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor; through which there was the plague 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 And now kill ye every male among the little ones, and every woman that hath known man by lying with him shall ye kill.
Ugbu a, gbuonụ ụmụnta ndị nwoke niile, na ndị inyom niile matarala nwoke.
18 But all among the women-children, that have not known a 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 But ye, —you must abide without the camp seven days: all ye who have killed any person, and all who have touched any one slain, shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day; both you 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 every garment, and whatever is made of skins, and every work of goats' hair, and every vessel made of wood, shall ye purify unto yourselves.
Debekwanụ uwe niile ọcha, ya na ihe niile e ji akpụkpọ anụ na ajị ewu, maọbụ osisi, mee.”
21 And Elazar the priest said unto the men of the army who had gone to the battle, This is the ordinance 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 Nevertheless the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Otu ọ dị ọlaedo, ọlaọcha, bronz, igwe, gbamgbam na opu,
23 Every thing that cometh into the fire shall ye make go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the waters of sprinkling: and whatsoever doth not come into the fire shall ye cause 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 after that may ye 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 said unto Moses, as followeth,
Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
26 Take the sum of the booty of the captives, both of man and of cattle, thou, with Elazar the priest, and the chiefs of the families 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 thou shalt divide the booty, between those that carried on the war, who went out to the army, and between 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 thou shalt levy a tribute unto the Lord from the men of war who went out to the army, one individual from every five hundred, of the persons, and of the beef-cattle, and of the asses, and of the sheep;
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 From their half shall ye take it; and thou shalt give it unto Elazar the priest, for a heave-offering of the Lord.
Nye Elieza onye nchụaja oke sitere nʼaja a dịka ihe Onyenwe anyị ketara.
30 And from the half of the children of Israel, shalt thou take one individual, as it may come, from any fifty, of the persons, of beef-cattle, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of cattle; and thou shalt give the same unto the Levites, who 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 with Elazar the priest did, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Ya mere, Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu.
32 And the booty, being the rest of the spoil which the men of the army had taken, was of sheep and goats, six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand,
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 of beef-cattle, seventy and two thousand,
Ehi dị iri puku asaa na puku abụọ,
34 And of asses, sixty and one thousand,
ịnyịnya ibu dị iri puku isii na otu puku,
35 And of human persons, of women that had not known men by lying with him, in all thirty and two thousand.
Ụmụ agbọghọ na-amatabeghị nwoke dị iri puku atọ na puku abụọ.
36 And the half, the portion of those who had gone out in the army, was, in the number of sheep and goats, three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred.
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 tribute unto the Lord of the flocks was six hundred and seventy and five.
Nʼime ya, ụtụ e nyere Onyenwe anyị site nʼigwe atụrụ ahụ dị narị isii na iri asaa na ise.
38 And the beef-cattle were thirty and six thousand; and the tribute thereof unto the Lord was seventy and two.
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; and the tribute thereof unto the Lord was sixty and one.
Ịnyịnya ibu dị iri puku atọ na narị ise. Nke e nyere Onyenwe anyị bụ iri isii na otu.
40 And the human persons were sixteen thousand; and the tribute thereof unto the Lord 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, the Lord's heave-offering, unto Elazar the priest, as the Lord had 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 from the half of the children of Israel, which Moses divided off from the men that had gone forth in the army, —
Ma ọkara nke ahụ dịrị ndị Izrel, nke Mosis kewapụtara site na nke ndị ikom lụrụ agha.
43 (Now the half of the congregation was, of sheep and goats three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred.
Ọkara nke nzukọ dị, igwe ewu na atụrụ, narị puku atọ, iri puku atọ, puku asaa na narị ise,
44 And beef-cattle, thirty and six thousand,
igwe ehi, iri puku atọ na isii,
45 And asses thirty thousand five hundred,
ịnyịnya ibu, iri puku atọ na narị ise,
46 And human persons sixteen thousand; )
ụmụ agbọghọ, puku iri na isii.
47 And Moses took from this half of the children of Israel, as it came, one from every fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave the same unto the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord had 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 there came near unto Moses the officers who had been over the thousands of the army, the captains of the thousands, and the captains of the hundreds.
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 who have been under our command, 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 We have therefore brought an oblation unto the Lord, each what he hath gotten of vessels of gold, chains, and bracelets, finger-rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an 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 with Elazar the priest took the gold from them, all kinds of wrought articles.
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 offering that they offered up to the Lord, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of the thousands, and from the captains of the hundreds.
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 The men of the army had taken spoil, every man for himself.
Ndị ahụ lụrụ agha ahụ nwekwara ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ ha debeere onwe ha.
54 And Moses and Elazar the priest took the gold from the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, as 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.
