Numbers 31
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 “Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites—afterward you are gathered to your people.”
“Esiane sɛ Midianfo daadaa mo de mo kɔɔ abosonsom mu no nti, tɔ so were ma Israelfo no. Eyi akyi no wubewu na woakɔ wʼagyanom nkyɛn.”
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;
Mose ka kyerɛɛ nkurɔfo so se, “Munyi mo mmarima no mu bi na wɔnkɔ Awurade aweretɔ sa a ɔde tia Midianfo no.
4 one thousand for a tribe—you send one thousand for a tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
Momfa Israel abusua biara mu nnipa apem nkɔ ɔsa no.”
5 And there are given out of the thousands of Israel one thousand for a tribe—twelve thousand armed ones [for] war;
Wɔyɛɛ saa nyaa mmarima mpem dumien siesie wɔn maa ɔko no; Israel abusuakuw biara maa mmarima apem.
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.
Afei Mose ma wɔkɔe, nnipa apem baako a wofi abusuakuw biara mu. Ɔsɔfo Eleasar babarima Pinehas na odii wɔn anim kɔɔ ɔko no. Wɔrekɔ no, wɔde akronkronne a ɛwɔ kronkronbea hɔ ne ntorobɛnto a wɔbɛhyɛn de ama asraafo no nsɛnkyerɛnne kɔe.
7 And they war against Midian, as YHWH has commanded Moses, and slay every male;
Wɔne Midiafo no koe, na sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no wokum Midian mmarima no nyinaa.
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.
Wɔn a wokum wɔn no bi ne Midian ahemfo baanum a wɔn din de Ewi, Rekem, Sur, Hur ne Reba. Beor babarima Balaam nso, wɔde afoa kum no.
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;
Afei, Israel asraafo no kyekyeree Midian mmea ne mmofra nyinaa ne wɔn anantwi ne wɔn nguan fom nneɛma pii kaa ho sɛ asade.
10 and they have burned all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, with fire.
Wɔtoo Midian no atenae, nkurow ne nkuraa nyinaa mu gya, hyew no pasaa.
11 And they take all the spoil and all the prey, among man and among beast;
Wɔfaa asade ne afowde a nnipa no ne mmoa ka ho.
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.
Wɔde nnommum no ne ɔko no mu nneɛma a wonyae no nyinaa brɛɛ Mose, ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne Israelfo a na wɔabɔ wɔn atenase wɔ Moab tataw so baabi a na ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Yordan a wotwa fi Yeriko baa hɔ no.
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,
Mose ne ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne mpanyimfo a wotuatua nnipa no ano no fii atenae hɔ kohyiaa nkonimdifo no kwan.
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.
Nanso Mose bo fuw mpanyimfo a wotuatua nsraadɔm apem ne ɔha no ano a wofi ɔsa no bae no.
15 And Moses says to them, “Have you kept every female alive?
Obisaa wɔn se, “So moankunkum mmea no?
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.
Wɔn ne nnipa no a wotie Balaam nti wɔtwetwee Israelfo na amma wɔanni Awurade nokware kɔsom abosom wɔ bepɔw Peor so a enti ɛmaa ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ bebree baa Awurade nkurɔfo so no.
17 And now, slay every male among the infants, indeed, slay every woman knowing a man by the lying of a male;
Munkunkum mmarimaa no nyinaa. Na munkunkum mmea a wɔne mmarima adeda no nyinaa.
18 and all the infants among the women who have not known the lying of a male you have kept alive for yourselves.
Mmeawa nketewa a wɔne mmarima nnae no na munnyaa wɔn na mo ne wɔn ntena.
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;
“Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara a wakum obi, anaa ɔde ne nsa kaa nea wɔakum no no, fi atenae ha nkɔtena baabi nnanson. Munnwira mo ho ne mo nnommum no nnansa ne ne nnanson so.
20 and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats’ [hair], and every wooden vessel, you yourselves cleanse.”
Munnwira mo ntade ne biribiara a wɔde aboa nhoma, abirekyi nwi anaa dua ayɛ.”
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:
Afei, ɔsɔfo Eleasar ka kyerɛɛ mmarima a wɔkɔɔ ɔko no se, “Eyi ne mmara a Awurade ahyɛ a waka akyerɛ Mose:
22 only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere, dade, sanyaa, sumpii
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;
ne biribiara a etumi etumi gyina ogya ano no ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde fa ogya mu sɛnea ɛho bɛtew. Eyi akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ahodwira nsu dwira ho ma ɛtew ho. Nanso, biribiara a ɛrentumi nnyina ogya ano no de, wɔmfa nsu nnwira ho.
24 and you have washed your garments on the seventh day and have been clean, and afterward you come into the camp.”
Nnanson so no, ɛsɛ sɛ mohoro mo ntade na mo ho afi. Afei mubetumi asan aba atenae hɔ.”
25 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
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;
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne mmusua no mpanyimfo nyinaa kan asade a nnipa ne mmoa a mofaa wɔ ɔko no mu no.
27 and you have halved the prey between those handling the battle, who go out to the war, and all the congregation;
Monkyɛ asade no mu abien pɛpɛɛpɛ mfa fa mma asraafo a wɔkɔɔ ɔko no na momfa fa a aka no mma nnipa a wɔaka no.
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;
Asraafo a wɔkoo no kyɛfa mu no, munyi ahannum biara so baako; sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa, anantwi, mfurum anaa nguan na momfa nsom Awurade.
29 you take from their half and have given [it] to Eleazar the priest [as] a raised-offering of YHWH.
Fa saa kyɛfa yi ma ɔsɔfo Eleasar na onhim no afɔremuka no anim mfa mma Awurade.
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.”
Afei Israelfo a wɔaka no kyɛfa no, munyi aduonum biara mu baako; sɛ ɛyɛ nnipa, anantwi, mfurum, nguanten anaa mmoa foforo biara no, momfa mma Lewifo a wɔhwɛ Awurade Ahyiae Ntamadan no so no.”
31 And Moses does—Eleazar the priest also—as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Enti Mose ne ɔsɔfo Eleasar yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no.
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;
Asade a ɛkae a akofo no fae no dodow yɛ nguan mpem ahansia ne aduɔson anum;
33 and seventy-two thousand of the herd;
anantwi mpem aduɔson abien;
34 and sixty-one thousand donkeys;
mfurum mpem aduosia baako;
35 and of mankind—of the women who have not known the lying of a male—all the persons [are] thirty-two thousand.
ne mmeawa mpem aduasa abien.
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.
Nneɛma no fa a wɔde maa asraafo no dodow ni: Nguan mpem ahaasa aduasa ason ne ahannum
37 And the tribute to YHWH of the sheep is six hundred seventy-five;
a wɔde mu ahansia aduɔson anum som Awurade;
38 and the herd [is] thirty-six thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] seventy-two;
Anantwi mpem aduasa asia a wɔde mu aduɔson abien som Awurade;
39 and the donkeys [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to YHWH [is] sixty-one;
mfurum mpem aduasa ne ahannum a wɔde emu aduosia baako som Awurade;
40 and of mankind [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] thirty-two persons.
mmeawa mpem dunsia; wɔde wɔn mu aduasa abien som Awurade.
41 And Moses gives the tribute—YHWH’s raised-offering—to Eleazar the priest, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Kyɛfa a wɔde Awurade no nyinaa no wɔde maa ɔsɔfo Eleasar sɛnea Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔnyɛ no ara pɛ.
42 And of the sons of Israel’s half, which Moses halved from the men who war—
Asade no a Israelfo no nyaa no na edidi so yi:
43 and the congregation’s half is three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred of the flock;
nguan mpem ahaasa aduasa ason ne ahannum,
44 and thirty-six thousand of the herd;
anantwi mpem aduasa asia,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred donkeys;
mfurum Mpem aduasa ne ahannum ne
46 and sixteen thousand of mankind—
mmeawa mpem dunsia.
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.
Nnipa no kyɛfa a wonyae no, Mose yiyii nnommum ne mmoa aduonum biara mu baako de maa Lewifo a wɔhwɛ Awurade Ahyiae Ntamadan so no. Wɔyɛɛ eyi nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
48 And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host have (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near to Moses,
Afei, asraafo no so mpanyimfo baa Mose nkyɛn
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;
bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛabu nnipa a yɛde wɔn kɔɔ ɔko no nyinaa ano akyerɛ wo na ɔbaako koraa anyera.
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.”
Ɛno nti, yefi nea yenyaa no ɔko no mu no bi mu rebɛda Awurade ase. Yɛn asedade no yɛ sika nnwinne, nkapo, nkaa, asokaa ne kɔnmuade. Eyinom bɛyɛ mpata ama yɛn kra wɔ Awurade anim.”
51 And Moses receives—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from them, every vessel of workmanship;
Mose ne ɔsɔfo Eleasar gyee saa akyɛde yi a ɛyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne nnwinne no fii asraafo mpanyimfo no nkyɛn.
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;
Ne nyinaa mu sikakɔkɔɔ a asahene no de bae sɛ akyɛde a wɔde rebrɛ Awurade no ano si nkaribo kilogram ɔha ne aduɔkron.
53 (the men of the host have each taken spoil for himself);
Na asraafo no afa ɔko no mu nneɛma a wonyae no bi.
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.
Enti Mose ne Eleasar gyee akyɛde no fii asraafo mpanyimfo no hɔ, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ no baa Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu sɛ ɛnyɛ nkae ade mma Awurade sɛ Israelfo yɛ ne dea.
