Numbers 31
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
2 “Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites—afterward you are gathered to your 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 speaks to the people, saying, “Arm men from [among] you for the war, and they are against Midian, to put the vengeance of YHWH on Midian;
Ya mere, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel okwu sị, “Kwadoonụ ndị ikom unu ibuso ndị Midia agha, maka ịbọtara Onyenwe anyị ọbọ.
4 one thousand for a tribe—you send one thousand for a tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
Sinụ nʼebo ọbụla dị nʼIzrel gụpụta puku ndị ikom puku ndị ikom.”
5 And there are given out of the thousands of Israel one thousand for a tribe—twelve thousand armed ones [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 sends them, one thousand for a tribe, to the war; [he sent] them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets of shouting 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 war against Midian, as YHWH has commanded Moses, and slay every male;
Ha busoro ndị Midia agha dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu. Ha gburu onye ọbụla bụ nwoke.
8 and they have slain the kings of Midian besides their pierced ones: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba—five kings of Midian; and they have slain Balaam son of Beor 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 sons of Israel take the women of Midian and their infants captive; and they have plundered all their livestock, and all their substance, and all their wealth;
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 they have burned all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, with fire.
Emesịa, ha mụnyere ọkụ nʼobodo ndị Midia niile na ebe ha mara ụlọ ikwu, rechapụ ha nʼọkụ.
11 And they take all the spoil and all the prey, among man and among beast;
Ha chịkọtara ihe niile ha dọtara nʼagha, ma mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ.
12 and they bring in the captives, and the prey, and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp, to the plains of Moab, which [are] by the Jordan, [near] 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, go out to meet them, to the outside of 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 is angry against the inspectors of the force, chiefs of the thousands, and chiefs of the hundreds, who are coming in from the warfare of battle.
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 says to them, “Have you kept every female alive?
Mosis jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji debe ndị inyom niile ndị a ndụ?
16 Behold, they have been to the sons of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against YHWH in the matter of Peor, and the plague is in the congregation of YHWH.
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, slay every male among the infants, indeed, slay every woman knowing a man by the lying of a male;
Ugbu a, gbuonụ ụmụnta ndị nwoke niile, na ndị inyom niile matarala nwoke.
18 and all the infants among the women who have not known the lying of a male you have kept 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 you, encamp at the outside of the camp [for] seven days; any who has slain a person, and any who has come against a pierced one, cleanse yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day—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 every skin vessel, and every work of goats’ [hair], and every wooden vessel, you yourselves cleanse.”
Debekwanụ uwe niile ọcha, ya na ihe niile e ji akpụkpọ anụ na ajị ewu, maọbụ osisi, mee.”
21 And Eleazar the priest says to the men of war who go to battle, “This [is] the statute of the law which YHWH has 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 only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Otu ọ dị ọlaedo, ọlaọcha, bronz, igwe, gbamgbam na opu,
23 everything which may go into fire, you cause to pass over through fire, and it has been clean; it is surely cleansed with the water of separation; and all that may not go into fire, you cause to pass over through 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 you have washed your garments on the seventh day and have been clean, and afterward you 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 YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
26 “Take up the sum of the prey of the captives, among man and among beast, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers 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 you have halved the prey between those handling the battle, who go out to the war, 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 you have raised a tribute to YHWH from the men of battle, who go out to the war, one body out of five hundred, of man, and of the herd, and of the donkeys, and of the flock;
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 you take from their half and have given [it] to Eleazar the priest [as] a raised-offering of YHWH.
Nye Elieza onye nchụaja oke sitere nʼaja a dịka ihe Onyenwe anyị ketara.
30 And from the sons of Israel’s half you take one possession out of fifty, of man, of the herd, of the donkeys, and of the flock, of all the livestock, and you have given them to the Levites keeping the charge of the Dwelling Place of YHWH.”
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 does—Eleazar the priest also—as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Ya mere, Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu.
32 And the prey, the remainder of the spoil which the people of the host have spoiled, is six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand of the flock;
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 seventy-two thousand of the herd;
Ehi dị iri puku asaa na puku abụọ,
34 and sixty-one thousand donkeys;
ịnyịnya ibu dị iri puku isii na otu puku,
35 and of mankind—of the women who have not known the lying of a male—all the persons [are] thirty-two thousand.
Ụmụ agbọghọ na-amatabeghị nwoke dị iri puku atọ na puku abụọ.
36 And the half, the portion of those who go out into the war, is [in] number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred of the flock.
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 to YHWH of the sheep is six hundred seventy-five;
Nʼime ya, ụtụ e nyere Onyenwe anyị site nʼigwe atụrụ ahụ dị narị isii na iri asaa na ise.
38 and the herd [is] thirty-six thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] seventy-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 donkeys [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to YHWH [is] sixty-one;
Ịnyịnya ibu dị iri puku atọ na narị ise. Nke e nyere Onyenwe anyị bụ iri isii na otu.
40 and of mankind [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] thirty-two persons.
Ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ agbọghọ dị puku iri na isii. Ndị e nyere Onyenwe anyị dị iri atọ na abụọ.
41 And Moses gives the tribute—YHWH’s raised-offering—to Eleazar the priest, as YHWH has 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 sons of Israel’s half, which Moses halved from the men who war—
Ma ọkara nke ahụ dịrị ndị Izrel, nke Mosis kewapụtara site na nke ndị ikom lụrụ agha.
43 and the congregation’s half is three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred of the flock;
Ọkara nke nzukọ dị, igwe ewu na atụrụ, narị puku atọ, iri puku atọ, puku asaa na narị ise,
44 and thirty-six thousand of the herd;
igwe ehi, iri puku atọ na isii,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred donkeys;
ịnyịnya ibu, iri puku atọ na narị ise,
46 and sixteen thousand of mankind—
ụmụ agbọghọ, puku iri na isii.
47 Moses takes from the sons of Israel’s half one possession from the fifty, of man and of beast, and gives them to the Levites keeping the charge of the Dwelling Place of YHWH, as YHWH has 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 inspectors whom the thousands of the host have (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near to 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 say to Moses, “Your servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who [are] with us, and not a man of us has been missed;
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 bring YHWH’s offering near, each of that which he has found of vessels of gold—chain, and bracelet, seal-ring, [ear]-ring, and bead—to make atonement for ourselves before YHWH.”
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 receives—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from them, every vessel of workmanship;
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 raised-offering which they have lifted up to YHWH is sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands and from heads 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 host have each taken spoil for himself);
Ndị ahụ lụrụ agha ahụ nwekwara ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ ha debeere onwe ha.
54 and Moses takes—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they bring it into the Tent of Meeting [as] a memorial for the sons of Israel before YHWH.
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.
