Numbers 31
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites—afterward you are gathered to your people.”
“Esiane sɛ Midianfoɔ daadaa mo de mo kɔɔ abosonsom mu no enti, tɔ wɔn so awere. Yei akyi no wɔbɛwu na wɔakɔ wɔn agyanom 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 nkurɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Monyi mmarima no mu bi na wɔnkɔ Awurade aweretɔ sa a ɔde tia Midianfoɔ 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 dumienu siesie wɔn maa ɔko no.
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 wɔkɔeɛ, nnipa apem baako a wɔfiri abusuakuo biara mu. Ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa babarima Pinehas na ɔdii wɔn anim kɔɔ ɔko no. Wɔrekɔ no, wɔde kronkronneɛ a ɛwɔ kronkronbea hɔ ne totorobɛnto a wɔbɛhyɛn akanyane akodɔm no kɔeɛ.
7 And they war against Midian, as YHWH has commanded Moses, and slay every male;
Na sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no, wɔkumm Midian mmarima nyinaa wɔ ɔko no mu.
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 wɔkumm wɔn no bi ne Midian ahemfo baanum a wɔn edin de Ewi, Rekem, Sur, Hur ne Reba. Beor babarima Balaam nso, wɔkumm 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 asraafoɔ no kyekyeree Midian mmaa ne mmɔfra nyinaa ne wɔn anantwie ne wɔn nnwan fom nneɛma pii kaa ho.
10 and they have burned all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, with fire.
Wɔtoo Midian nkuro ne nkuraa nyinaa mu ogya, hyee no pasaa.
11 And they take all the spoil and all the prey, among man and among beast;
Wɔfaa asadeɛ ne afodeɛ 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 nneduafoɔ no ne ɔko no mu nneɛma a wɔnyaeɛ no nyinaa brɛɛ Mose, ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne Israelfoɔ a na wɔabɔ wɔn atenaseɛ wɔ Moab bepɔ so baabi a na ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Yordan a wɔtwa firi Yeriko ba 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 ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔtuatua nnipa no ano no kɔhyiaa nkonimdifoɔ no ɛkwan.
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 fuu mpanimfoɔ a wɔtuatua akodɔm no ano no.
15 And Moses says to them, “Have you kept every female alive?
Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, “Adɛn enti na moankunkum mmaa 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.
Yeinom ara ne nnipa no a wɔtie Balaam enti wɔmaa Israelfoɔ gyaa Awurade kɔsom abosom wɔ bepɔ Peor so a enti ɛmaa ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ bebree baa yɛn so bɛsɛee yɛn no.
17 And now, slay every male among the infants, indeed, slay every woman knowing a man by the lying of a male;
Monkunkum mmarimaa no nyinaa. Afei, monkunkum mmaa 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.
Mommfa mo nsa nka mmaayewa nketewa no. Wɔn deɛ, momfa wɔn na mo ne wɔn nkɔtena.
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;
“Afei, momfiri atenaeɛ ha nkɔtena baabi nnanson, ɛfiri sɛ, mo nyinaa moakum nnipa anaa mode mo nsa aka efunu. Monnwira mo ho ne mo nneduafoɔ ne 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.”
Monkae na monnwira mo ntadeɛ ne biribiara a wɔde aboa nwoma, abirekyie 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, ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ka kyerɛɛ mmarima a wɔkɔɔ ɔko no sɛ, “Yei 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,
Biribiara a ɛtumi gyinaa ogya ano te sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere, dadeɛ, sanya anaa sumpii no,
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;
ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ka ogya sɛdeɛ ɛho bɛte. Yei akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ahodwira nsuo dwira ho ma ɛho te. Nanso, biribiara a ɛrentumi nnyina ogya ano no deɛ, wɔmfa nsuo 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, ɛsɛ sɛ mosi mo ntadeɛ na modwira mo ho ansa na moasane aba atenaeɛ hɔ.”
25 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
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 ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne mmusua no mpanimfoɔ nyinaa twerɛ afodeɛ a nnipa ne mmoa ka ho a monyaa no ɔko no mu.
27 and you have halved the prey between those handling the battle, who go out to the war, and all the congregation;
Afei, monkyɛ afodeɛ no mu mmienu. Momfa ɛfa mma mmarima a wɔkɔɔ ɔko no na momfa ɛfa a aka no mma nnipa a aka 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;
Nanso, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ɛsɛ sɛ Awurade nya kyɛfa a ɛyɛ nneduafoɔ, anantwie, mfunumu, ne nnwan a ɛfiri akofoɔ no kyɛfa mu. Awurade kyɛfa no bɛyɛ ahanum biara mu baako.
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 ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa na ɔnhim no afɔrebukyia 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 Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no kyɛfa no, monyi aduonum biara mu baako. Momfa yei mma Lewifoɔ a wɔhwɛ Awurade Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so no.”
31 And Moses does—Eleazar the priest also—as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Enti, Mose ne ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa yɛɛ deɛ 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;
Afodeɛ a ɛkaeɛ a akofoɔ no faeɛ no dodoɔ yɛ nnwan mpem ahansia aduɔson enum;
33 and seventy-two thousand of the herd;
anantwie mpem aduɔson mmienu;
34 and sixty-one thousand donkeys;
mfunumu 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 mmaayewa mpem aduasa mmienu.
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 asraafoɔ no dodoɔ nie: Nnwan mpem ahasa aduasa nson ne ahanum
37 And the tribute to YHWH of the sheep is six hundred seventy-five;
a wɔde mu ahansia aduɔson enum maa Awurade;
38 and the herd [is] thirty-six thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] seventy-two;
Anantwie mpem aduasa nsia a wɔde mu aduɔson mmienu maa Awurade;
39 and the donkeys [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to YHWH [is] sixty-one;
mfunumu mpem aduasa ne ahanum a emu aduosia baako yɛ Awurade kyɛfa;
40 and of mankind [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] thirty-two persons.
mmaayewa mpem dunsia; wɔde wɔn mu aduasa mmienu maa Awurade.
41 And Moses gives the tribute—YHWH’s raised-offering—to Eleazar the priest, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
Wɔde Awurade kyɛfa no nyinaa maa ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa sɛdeɛ 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—
Afodeɛ no a Israelfoɔ no nyaa no na ɛdidi soɔ yi:
43 and the congregation’s half is three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred of the flock;
nnwan mpem ahasa aduasa nson ne ahanum,
44 and thirty-six thousand of the herd;
anantwie mpem aduasa nsia,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred donkeys;
mfunumu Mpem aduasa ne ahanum ne
46 and sixteen thousand of mankind—
mmaayewa 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 wɔnyaeɛ no, Mose yiyii nneduafoɔ ne mmoa aduonum biara mu baako de maa Lewifoɔ a wɔhwɛ Awurade Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan so no. Wɔyɛɛ yei nyinaa sɛdeɛ 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, asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ baa Mose nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
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;
“Owura yɛabu nnipa a yɛde wɔn kɔɔ ɔko no nyinaa ano akyerɛ wo na yɛn mu baako 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 enti, yɛfiri deɛ yɛnyaa no ɔko no mu no bi mu rebɛda Awurade ase. Yɛn asedadeɛ no yɛ sika adwinneɛ, nkapo, nkawa, nsonkawa ne kɔnmuadeɛ. Yeinom bɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama yɛn kra wɔ Awurade anim.”
51 And Moses receives—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from them, every vessel of workmanship;
Mose ne ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa gyee saa akyɛdeɛ yi a ɛyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ne adwinneɛ firii asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ 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 baeɛ sɛ akyɛdeɛ a wɔde rebrɛ Awurade no ano si nkariboɔ kilogram ɔha ne aduɔkron.
53 (the men of the host have each taken spoil for himself);
Na asraafoɔ no afa ɔko no mu nneɛma a wɔnyaeɛ 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 Eleasa gyee akyɛdeɛ no firii asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ no hɔ, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ no baa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu sɛ ɛnyɛ nkaeɛ adeɛ mma Awurade sɛ Israelfoɔ yɛ ne dea.
