Numbers 31
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
"Lakukanlah pembalasan kepada orang Midian karena apa yang sudah mereka perbuat terhadap bangsa Israel. Sesudah itu engkau akan mati."
3 And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD’S vengeance on Midian.
Maka Musa berkata kepada bangsa Israel, "Bersiap-siaplah untuk berperang; kamu harus menyerang orang Midian untuk melakukan hukuman TUHAN terhadap mereka.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
Dari setiap suku bangsa Israel, kamu harus menyiapkan seribu orang prajurit untuk maju berperang."
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Maka dipilihlah seribu orang dari setiap suku bangsa Israel, seluruhnya berjumlah dua belas ribu orang yang siap bertempur.
6 And Moses sent them, a 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 menyuruh mereka berperang bersama-sama dengan Pinehas anak Imam Eleazar. Pinehas membawa benda-benda suci dan trompet-trompet untuk memberi tanda-tanda.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
Sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN kepada Musa, orang Israel menyerang orang Midian dan membunuh semua orang laki-lakinya,
8 And they slew 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 slew with the sword.
termasuk lima raja Midian, yaitu Ewi, Rekem, Zur, Hur dan Reba. Bileam, anak Beor, juga dibunuh.
9 And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
Orang-orang Israel menawan para wanita dan anak-anak Midian, dan merampas segala hewan dan ternak, serta segala kekayaan mereka.
10 And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
Kota-kota dan perkemahan-perkemahan mereka pun dibakar.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
Setelah itu orang-orang Israel mengambil semua hasil rampasan itu, termasuk para tawanan dan hewan,
12 And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
lalu membawanya kepada Musa dan Imam Eleazar dan kepada seluruh umat Israel. Pada waktu itu mereka sedang berkemah di dataran Moab, di tepi Sungai Yordan, dekat kota Yerikho.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
Maka Musa, Imam Eleazar dan semua pemimpin lainnya dari umat Israel keluar dari perkemahan untuk menyambut tentara Israel.
14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, which came from the service of the war.
Musa memarahi para perwira, para kepala pasukan dan kepala laskar yang baru saja kembali dari pertempuran.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
Katanya kepada mereka, "Mengapa kamu membiarkan semua wanita itu hidup?
16 Behold, 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.
Bukankah wanita-wanita itu yang menuruti nasihat Bileam, sehingga membujuk umat Israel di Peor untuk meninggalkan TUHAN? Dan itulah yang mendatangkan bencana atas umat TUHAN!
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Nah, sekarang bunuhlah setiap anak laki-laki dan setiap wanita yang bukan perawan lagi.
18 But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Tetapi semua perempuan yang masih perawan boleh kamu ambil untukmu.
19 And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.
Dan kamu semua yang telah membunuh orang atau menyentuh mayat harus tinggal di luar perkemahan selama tujuh hari. Pada hari yang ketiga dan yang ketujuh kamu dan semua wanita yang kamu tawan itu harus melakukan upacara penyucian diri.
20 And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ [hair], and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves.
Setiap potong pakaian dan apa saja dari kulit, bulu kambing atau kayu, harus juga disucikan."
21 And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded Moses:
Kemudian Imam Eleazar berkata kepada orang-orang yang baru kembali dari pertempuran itu, "Inilah peraturan-peraturan yang diberikan TUHAN kepada Musa.
22 howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Segala sesuatu yang tahan api, seperti emas, perak, tembaga, besi, timah putih dan timah hitam, harus disucikan dengan melalukannya dalam api. Kemudian barang-barang itu harus disucikan juga dengan air upacara penyucian supaya tidak najis lagi. Semua benda lainnya yang tidak tahan api harus disucikan dengan air upacara penyucian.
23 every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
Pada hari yang ketujuh kamu harus mencuci pakaianmu, barulah kamu tidak najis lagi, dan boleh masuk ke dalam perkemahan."
25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the congregation:
"Engkau dan Imam Eleazar, bersama-sama dengan para pemimpin lainnya dari umat Israel, harus menghitung semua hasil rampasan, termasuk para tawanan dan hewan.
27 and divide the prey into two parts; between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation:
Hasil rampasan itu harus kamu bagi dua yang sama banyaknya; sebagian untuk para prajurit yang telah pergi berperang, dan sebagian lagi untuk umat selebihnya.
28 and levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks:
Untuk pemberian khusus kepada Aku, TUHAN, dari bagian para prajurit itu harus kauambil satu dari setiap lima ratus--baik dari orang-orang tawanan, maupun dari sapi, keledai, domba dan kambing.
29 take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for the LORD’S heave offering.
Serahkanlah itu kepada Imam Eleazar sebagai persembahan khusus untuk Aku, TUHAN.
30 And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, [even] of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
Dari bagian yang diberikan kepada umat Israel, harus kauambil satu dari setiap lima puluh, baik dari orang-orang tawanan, maupun dari sapi, keledai, domba dan kambing. Serahkanlah semuanya itu kepada orang Lewi yang mengurus Kemah-Ku."
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Musa dan Imam Eleazar melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
32 Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
Selain yang sudah diambil para prajurit untuk mereka sendiri, hasil rampasan itu berjumlah: 675.000 ekor domba dan kambing, 72.000 ekor sapi, 61.000 ekor keledai dan 32.000 orang gadis perawan.
33 and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 and threescore and one thousand asses,
35 and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
36 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep:
Separuh dari jumlah itu diberikan kepada para prajurit dengan perincian ini: 337.500 ekor domba dan kambing, dan dari jumlah itu 675 ekor untuk pemberian khusus bagi TUHAN; 36.000 ekor sapi, 72 ekor untuk pemberian khusus bagi TUHAN; 30.500 ekor keledai, 61 ekor untuk pemberian khusus bagi TUHAN; 16.000 orang gadis perawan, 32 orang untuk pemberian khusus bagi TUHAN.
37 and the LORD’S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and one.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom the LORD’S tribute was thirty and two persons.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Lalu Musa menyerahkan pemberian khusus itu kepada Imam Eleazar untuk persembahan bagi TUHAN, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
42 And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred,
Bagian untuk rakyat sama banyaknya dengan bagian untuk prajurit: 337.500 ekor domba dan kambing, 36.000 ekor sapi, 30.500 ekor keledai, dan 16.000 orang gadis perawan.
43 (now the congregation’s half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 and thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
46 and sixteen thousand persons; )
47 even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN, Musa mengambil satu dari setiap lima puluh orang tawanan dan hewan, lalu menyerahkannya kepada orang-orang Lewi yang bertugas di Kemah TUHAN.
48 And the officers which were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
Kemudian para perwira yang telah memimpin tentara Israel, menghadap Musa
49 and they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
dan melaporkan, "Tuan, kami sudah menghitung para prajurit bawahan kami. Ternyata jumlah mereka lengkap, tak seorang pun yang hilang.
50 And we have brought the LORD’S oblation, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, earrings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.
Sebab itu kami membawa perhiasan-perhiasan emas, gelang tangan, gelang kaki, cincin, anting-anting dan kalung yang telah diambil oleh masing-masing. Semua ini kami serahkan kepada TUHAN sebagai persembahan kami, supaya Ia tetap melindungi kami."
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
Lalu Musa dan Imam Eleazar menerima emas itu, semuanya dalam bentuk perhiasan.
52 And all the gold of the heave offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
Persembahan para perwira itu beratnya hampir dua ratus kilogram.
53 ([For] the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)
Tetapi prajurit-prajurit itu masing-masing telah mengambil hasil rampasan itu bagi mereka sendiri.
54 And 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.
Maka Musa dan Imam Eleazar membawa emas itu ke Kemah TUHAN supaya TUHAN melindungi bangsa Israel.
