Numbers 31
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
2 "Avenge the children of Israel for the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people."
“Rĩhĩria andũ a Isiraeli harĩ andũ a Midiani. Na thuutha ũcio nĩũgũcooka ũkue.”
3 Moses spoke to the people, saying, "Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD's vengeance on Midian.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Andũ amwe anyu nĩmeohe indo ciao cia mbaara mathiĩ makahũũrane na andũ a Midiani nĩguo marĩhĩrie Jehova kũrĩ o.
4 Of every tribe one thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, you shall send to the war."
Tũmai andũ 1,000 kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga wa Isiraeli mbaara-inĩ.”
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ 12,000 meeohete indo cia mbaara, o 1,000 kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga, makĩneanwo kuuma mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli.
6 Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
Musa akĩmatũma mbaara-inĩ, o 1,000 kuuma harĩ o mũhĩrĩga, marĩ hamwe na Finehasi mũrũ wa Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa wakuuire indo cia handũ-harĩa-haamũre, o na tũrumbeta twa kũhuhwo.
7 They warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they killed every male.
Nao makĩhũũrana na andũ a Midiani o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa, na makĩũraga arũme othe.
8 They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they killed with the sword.
Gatagatĩ ka arĩa mooragire nĩ Evi, na Rekemu, na Zuru, na Huri, na Reba, athamaki arĩa atano a Midiani. O na ningĩ nĩmooragire Balamu mũrũ wa Beori na rũhiũ rwa njora.
9 The children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their livestock, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtaha andũ-a-nja a Midiani na ciana, na magĩkuua ndũũru ciothe cia andũ a Midiani cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri, na magĩtaha indo iria ingĩ ciothe.
10 All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
Magĩcina matũũra mothe kũrĩa andũ a Midiani maatũũrĩte, o ũndũ ũmwe na kambĩ ciao.
11 They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of animal.
Magĩkuua indo ciothe iria maatahĩte na iria maatunyanĩte hamwe na andũ na nyamũ,
12 They brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
na magĩtwara andũ arĩa matahĩtwo na indo icio maatunyanĩte, na iria maatahĩte kũrĩ Musa na kũrĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na kũrĩ kĩũngano kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kũu kambĩ yarĩ werũ-inĩ wa Moabi, hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũrĩmo wa Jeriko.
13 Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation, went forth to meet them outside of the camp.
Musa, na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na atongoria othe a kĩrĩndĩ magĩthiĩ kũmatũnga nja ya kambĩ.
14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
Musa akĩrakarĩra anene a mbũtũ icio cia ita na atongoria a mbũtũ cia o ngiri, ngiri, na atongoria a mbũtũ cia o igana, igana, arĩa moimĩte mbaara-inĩ.
15 Moses said to them, "Have you saved all the women alive?
Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mwĩtĩkĩrĩtie andũ a nja othe matũũre muoyo?
16 Look, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD.
Acio nĩo maarũmĩrĩire mataaro ma Balamu, na nĩo maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli matirike Jehova ũhoro-inĩ ũrĩa wekĩkire kũu Peori, naguo ũndũ ũcio ũkĩrehithĩria andũ a Jehova mũthiro.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũragai tũhĩĩ tuothe. Na ningĩ mũũrage mũndũ-wa-nja wothe ũrĩ wakoma na mũndũ mũrũme,
18 But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
no mwĩhonokerie mũirĩtu o wothe ũrĩa ũtarĩ wakoma na mũndũ mũrũme.
19 "Encamp outside of the camp seven days: whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
“Inyuothe arĩa mũũragĩte mũndũ o wothe kana mũkahutia mũndũ o wothe mũũrage no nginya mũikare nja ya kambĩ mĩthenya mũgwanja. Mũthenya wa ĩtatũ na wa mũgwanja, no nginya mwĩtherie inyuĩ ene na arĩa mũtahĩte.
20 As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, you shall purify yourselves."
Theriai nguo ciothe, o ũndũ ũmwe na kĩndũ gĩothe gĩthondeketwo na rũũa, kana guoya wa mbũri kana mbaũ.”
21 Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, "This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:
Ningĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩĩra thigari iria ciathiĩte mbaara-inĩ atĩrĩ, “Watho ũrĩa Jehova aaheire Musa uugĩte atĩrĩ:
22 however the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Thahabu, na betha, na gĩcango, na kĩgera, na ibati, na rũbũũa
23 everything that may withstand the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that doesn't withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water.
na kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩngĩhota gwĩtiiria mwaki, no nginya kĩhĩtũkagĩrio mwaki-inĩ nĩgeetha gĩthirwo nĩ thaahu. No rĩrĩ, no nginya gĩcooke gĩtherio na maaĩ marĩa ma kũniina thaahu. Nakĩo kĩndũ gĩothe gĩtangĩĩtiiria mwaki no nginya kĩhĩtũkĩrio maaĩ-inĩ macio.
24 You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp."
Mũthenya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, thambiai nguo cianyu na inyuĩ nĩ mũgaathirwo nĩ thaahu. Thuutha ũcio no mũtoonye kambĩ.”
25 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
26 "Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the ancestral houses of the congregation;
“Wee na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na atongoria a nyũmba cia kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ no nginya mũtare andũ othe na nyamũ iria ciatahirwo.
27 and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
Gayaniai indo cia iria ndahe gatagatĩ ga thigari iria ciathiĩte mbaara-inĩ na kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
28 Levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks.
Kuuma kũrĩ thigari iria ciarũire mbaara, rutai gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova, kĩndũ kĩmwe thĩinĩ wa indo magana matano, marĩ andũ, kana ngʼombe, kana ndigiri, kana ngʼondu, o na kana mbũri.
29 Take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for the LORD's wave offering.
Oya gĩcunjĩ gĩkĩ kuuma harĩ nuthu ya igai rĩao mũkĩnengere Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai kĩrĩ gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova.
30 Of the children of Israel's half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of the tabernacle of the LORD."
Kuuma kũrĩ nuthu ya gĩcunjĩ kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, thuura kĩndũ kĩmwe kuuma harĩ o gĩkundi kĩa mĩrongo ĩtano, kĩrĩ kĩa andũ, kana ngʼombe, kana ndigiri, kana ngʼondu, kana mbũri o na kana nyamũ ingĩ. Cinengere Alawii arĩa wĩra wao ũrĩ kũmenyerera Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova.”
31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
32 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
Indo cia gũtahwo cia iria ciatigarĩte kuuma kũrĩ indo iria ciatunyanĩtwo nĩ thigari ciarĩ ngʼondu 675,000,
33 and seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
na ngʼombe 72,000,
34 and sixty-one thousand donkeys,
na ndigiri 61,000
35 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
na andũ-a-nja 32,000 arĩa mataakomete na mũndũ mũrũme.
36 The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
Nuthu ya igai rĩa andũ arĩa maarũĩte mbaara-inĩ ciarĩ: ngʼondu 337,500,
37 and the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ngʼondu 675;
38 The cattle were thirty-six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was seventy-two.
nacio ngʼombe ciarĩ 36,000 na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ngʼombe 72;
39 The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was sixty-one.
nacio ndigiri ciarĩ 30,500, na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ndigiri 61;
40 The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom the LORD's tribute was thirty-two persons.
andũ maarĩ 16,000, na kuuma kũrĩ o Jehova akĩrutĩrwo andũ 32.
41 Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Musa akĩnengera Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
42 Of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men who warred
Nuthu ĩrĩa yarĩ ya andũ a Isiraeli, ĩrĩa Musa aamũranĩtie na arĩa maathiĩte mbaara-inĩ,
43 (now the congregation's half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
nuthu ĩrĩa yaheirwo kĩrĩndĩ ciarĩ ngʼondu 337,500,
44 and thirty-six thousand head of cattle,
nacio ngʼombe ciarĩ 36,000,
45 and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
nacio ndigiri ciarĩ 30,500,
46 and sixteen thousand persons),
nao andũ maarĩ 16,000.
47 even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who performed the duty of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Kuuma kũrĩ nuthu ĩrĩa yaheirwo andũ a Isiraeli, Musa agĩthuura mũndũ ũmwe kuuma kũrĩ andũ mĩrongo ĩtano, na nyamũ ĩmwe kuuma kũrĩ nyamũ mĩrongo ĩtano, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte, na agĩcihe Alawii arĩa wĩra wao warĩ kũmenyerera Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova.
48 The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses;
Ningĩ anene arĩa matongoragia mbũtũ cia ita, acio maathaga ikundi cia o ngiri ngiri, na ikundi cia o igana igana, magĩthiĩ harĩ Musa,
49 and they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our command, and there lacks not one man of us.
nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ciaku nĩitarĩte thigari iria twathaga na hatirĩ o na ũmwe ũtarĩ ho.
50 We have brought the LORD's offering, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD."
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtwarehe indo ici cia thahabu ituĩke iruta riitũ kũrĩ Jehova iria o ũmwe witũ eegwatĩire, nacio nĩ icũhĩ cia moko na bangiri cia moko, na icũhĩ cia ciara, na cia matũ, na mĩgathĩ ya ngingo, nĩguo twĩhoroherie mbere ya Jehova.”
51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took their gold, even all worked jewels.
Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩamũkĩra thahabu ĩyo kuuma kũrĩ o, indo icio ciothe ciaturĩtwo wega.
52 All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.
Thahabu yothe ĩrĩa yoimire kũrĩ anene a ikundi cia o ngiri, ngiri na anene a ikundi cia o igana, igana ĩrĩa Musa na Eleazaru maatwarĩire Jehova kĩrĩ kĩheo, yarĩ ya ũritũ wa cekeri 16,750.
53 (The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)
O mũthigari nĩetahĩire indo ciake.
54 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩamũkĩra thahabu ĩyo kuuma kũrĩ anene a ikundi cia o ngiri, ngiri na anene a ikundi cia o igana, igana magĩcirehe Hema-inĩ ya Gũtũnganwo ituĩke kĩririkania harĩ andũ a Isiraeli mbere ya Jehova.
