Numbers 31
1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
BWANA alinena na Musa na kumwambia,
2 Execute the vengeance of the children of Israel on the Midianites, after which thou shalt be gathered unto thy people.
“Uwalipizie kisasi Wamidiani kwa kile walichowafanya Waisraeli. Baada ya kufanya hivyo utakufa na kukusanyika na watu wako.”
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.
Kwa hiyo Musa akawaambia watu. Akasema, “andaeni baadhi ya majeshi yenu kwa ajili ya vita ili kwamba wakawapige Wamidiani na kubeba kiapo cha BWANA.
4 A thousand each for every tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the army.
Kwa kila kabila la Israeli watatuma askari elfu moja kwa ajili ya vita.”
5 And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for the army.
Kwa hiyo kati ya wanaume maelfu elfu wa Israeli, wanaume elfu moja walitolewa kwa ajili ya vita, jumla ya wanaume elfu kumi na mbili.
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.
Kisha Musa akawatuma kwenda vitani, elfu moja toka kila kabila pamoja na Finehasi mwana wa Eliazari kuhanai, wakiwa na vitu kutoka mahali patakatifu wakiwa na matarumbeta kwa ajili ya ishara za sauti.
7 And they marched out against the Midianites, as the Lord had commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
Wakapigana na Midiani, kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru Musa. Wakamwua kila mwanaume.
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.
Wakawaua wafalme wa Midiani pamoja na wengine waliowaua ni: Evi, Rekimu, Zuri, Huri, na Reba, hawa walaikuwa ndio waflme watano wa Midiani. pia walimwua Balaamu mwana wa Beori, kwa upanga.
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.
Jeshi la Israeli likawachukua mateka wanawake wa Midiani, watoto wao, mifugo yao yote, kondoo wao na bidhaa zao zote. walivichukua hivi kama mateka.
10 And all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their castles they burnt with fire.
Waliichoma moto miji yao yote walimoishi na kambi zao zote.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the booty, both of men and of cattle.
Walichukua vitu vyote na wafungwa, watu na wanyama.
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.
Wakawaleta mateka, nyara, na wakakamata vitu wakavileta kwa Musa, na Eliazari kuhani, na kwa jamii ya watu wa Israeli. Wakavileta hivi vitu kambini katika uwanda wa Moabu, kule Yorodani karibu na Yeriko.
13 And Moses, and Elazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them, to without the camp.
Musa, Eliazari kuhani, pamoja na viongozi wa watu wakaenda kukutana nao nje ya kambi.
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.
Lakini Musa alikuwa na hasira dhidi ya viongozi wa jeshi, Wale majemedari wa maelfu na maakida wa mamia, waliotoka kupigana.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye allowed all the females to live?
Musa akawaambia, “Je, mmeawaacha wanawake wote kuishi?
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.
Tazama, wanawake hawa ndio waliosababisha watu wa Israeli, kwa kupitia ushauri wa Balaamu, kufanya dhambi dhidi ya BWANA huko Peori, wakati ile tauni iliposambaa kwa watu wa Mungu.
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.
Sasa basi, ueni kila mwanaume kuanzia wadogo, na ueni kila mwanamke aliyelala na mwanamume.
18 But all among the women-children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Lakini chukueni wale mabinti wadogo ambao hawajalala na mwanamume.
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.
Mtaweka kambi nje na kambi za Israeli kwa muda wa siku saba. Ninyi wote ambao mmeua watu au ambao mmegusa maiti yeyote mtajitakasa wenyewe katika siku ya tatu na katika siku ya saba - ninyi na mateka wenu.
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.
Na mtayatakasa mavazi yenu yote, na kila kitu kilichotengenezwa kwa ngozi za wanyama, na manyoya ya mbuzi, na kila kitu kilichotengenezwa kwa mbao.”
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:
Eliazarai kuahani akawaambia wale wanajeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani, “Hii ni amri ya sheria ambayo BWANA alimpa Musa:
22 Nevertheless the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Zile dhahabu, fedha, vyuma, bati, risasi,
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 kila kitu knaweza kuhhimili moto, mtakiweka katka moto, navyo vitakuwa safi. Nakisha mtavitakasa vitu hivyo na maji ya farakano. Na vitu vyote ambavyo haviwezi kupita katika moto, mtavitakasa kwa maji hayo.
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.
Na mtazifua nguao zenu katika siku ya saba, ndipo mtakapokuwa safi. Baada ya hapo mnaweza kurudi kwenye kambi za Israeli.”
25 And the Lord said unto Moses, as followeth,
Kisha BWANA akanena na Musa, akamwambia,
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:
“Vihesabu vitu vyote vilivyochukuliwa nyara, wote watu na wanyama. Wewe, Eliazari kuhani, na viongozi wa watu kufuata koo
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.
watavigawa hivi vitu katika mkundi mawili. Mvigawe kwa wanajeshi walioenda kupigana na kwa watu wote.
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;
Kisha toza kodi ambayo itatolewa kwangu kutoka kwa wanajeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani. Hii kodi itakuwa moja kati ya mia tano, katika watu, ng'ombe, punda, kondoo, au mbuzi.
29 From their half shall ye take it; and thou shalt give it unto Elazar the priest, for a heave-offering of the Lord.
Uichukue hii kodi kutoka katika nusu yao na umpe Eliazari kuhani kwa ajili ya sadaka itakayotolewa kwangu.
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.
Pia kutoka katika nusu ya watu wa Israeli, utachukua moja kati ya hamsini -kutoka vitu, ng'ombe, punda, na mbuzi. Uvitoe hivi kwa Walawi wanaotumika katika masikani yangu.”
31 And Moses with Elazar the priest did, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Kwa hiyo Musa na Eliazari kuhani wakafanya kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru Musa.
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,
Sasa zile nyara zilizokuwa zimebaki ambazo wanajeshi walikuwa wameteka zilikuwa kondoo 675, 000,
33 And of beef-cattle, seventy and two thousand,
maksai elfu sabini na mbili,
34 And of asses, sixty and one thousand,
punda elfu sitini na moja,
35 And of human persons, of women that had not known men by lying with him, in all thirty and two thousand.
na wanawake elfu thelathini na mbili ambao walikuwa hawajalala na mwanamume yeyote.
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.
Ile hesabu ya nusu iliyokuwa imetunzwa kwa ajili ya wanajeshi ilikuwa kondoo 337, 000. Ile sehemu ya
37 And the tribute unto the Lord of the flocks was six hundred and seventy and five.
BWANA ya kondoo ilikuwa kondoo 675.
38 And the beef-cattle were thirty and six thousand; and the tribute thereof unto the Lord was seventy and two.
Maksai walikuwa elfu thelathini na sita ambayo kodi ya BWANA ilikuwa sabini na mbili.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; and the tribute thereof unto the Lord was sixty and one.
Punda walikuwa 30, 500 ambao sehemu ya BWANA ilikuwa sitini na moja.
40 And the human persons were sixteen thousand; and the tribute thereof unto the Lord was thirty and two persons.
Watu walikuwa wanawake elfu kumi na sita ambao kodi ya BWANA ilikuwa thelathini na mbili.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, the Lord's heave-offering, unto Elazar the priest, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Musa aliichukua ile kodi ambayo ilitakiwa kuwekwa sadaka kwa BWANA. Akampatia Eliazari kuhani, kama BWANA alivyomwamuru Musa.
42 And from the half of the children of Israel, which Moses divided off from the men that had gone forth in the army, —
Ile nusu ya watu wa Israeli ambayo Musa alikuwa ameichukua toka kwa wanawjeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani -
43 (Now the half of the congregation was, of sheep and goats three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred.
ile nusu y a watu ilikuwa kondoo 337, 500,
44 And beef-cattle, thirty and six thousand,
maksai elfu thelathini na sita,
45 And asses thirty thousand five hundred,
punda 30, 500,
46 And human persons sixteen thousand; )
na wanawake elfu kumi na sita.
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.
Kutoka kwenye nusu ya watu wa Israeli, Musa alichukua moja katika hamsini, wote watu na wanyama. Aliwapa Walawi ambao huitumikia masikani ya BWANA, kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru kufanya.
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.
Kisha wale maakida wa jeshi, makamanda wa elfu na makapteni wa mamia, wakaja kwa Musa.
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.
Wakamwambia, “watumishi wako wamewahesabu wanajeshi ambao wako chini yetu, hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyekosa.
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.
Tumemletea BWANA sadaka, ambayo kila mmoja amepata, vitu vya dhahabu, metali, timbi, pete za mhuri, vipini na vikuku, ili kujifanyia upatanisho kwa BWANA.”
51 And Moses with Elazar the priest took the gold from them, all kinds of wrought articles.
Musa na Eliazari kuhani akapokea kutoka kwao dhahabu na vitu vyote vilivyotengenezwa kwa ufundi.
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.
Vitu vyote vya sadaka ya dhahabu ambavyo walimpa BWANA- sadaka toka kwa makamanda wa maelfu na kutoka kwa makepteni wa mamia - vilikuwa na uzito wa shekeli 16, 750.
53 The men of the army had taken spoil, every man for himself.
Kila mwanajeshi alikuwa ameteka nyara ya kila mtu kwa ajili yake.
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.
Musa na Eliazari kuhani wakazichukuazile dhahabu toka kwa makamanda wa maelfu na makepteni wa mamia. Wakavipeleka kwenye hema ya kukutania kama ukumbusho wa watu wa Israeli kwa BWANA.
