< Numbers 31 >

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
“Tsiva kuvaMidhiani zvavakaitira vaIsraeri. Shure kwaizvozvo uchandosanganiswa navanhu vako.”
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.
Saka Mozisi akati kuvanhu, “Shongedzai vamwe varume vokwenyu nhumbi dzokurwa kuti vaende kundorwa navaMidhiani kuti vazadzise kutsiva kwaJehovha pamusoro pavo.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
Endesai kuhondo varume chiuru kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe rwavaIsraeri.”
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Saka varume zviuru gumi nezviviri vakashongedzerwa kundorwa, chiuru chimwe kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe, vakauyiswa vachibva kumhuri dzavaIsraeri.
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.
Mozisi akavatuma kundorwa, chiuru kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe, pamwe chete naFinehasi mwanakomana waEreazari muprista, uyo akatorawo nhumbi dzomunzvimbo tsvene nehwamanda dzokuridza pakutungamirira.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
Vakarwisa vaMidhiani, sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha, vakauraya varume vose.
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.
Vakaurayiwa pakati pavo ndiEvhi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri naRebha, madzimambo mashanu avaMidhiani. Vakaurayawo nomunondo Bharamu mwanakomana waBheori.
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.
VaIsraeri vakatapa vakadzi vavaMidhiani navana vavo uye vakatora mombe dzose dzavaMidhiani, makwai nepfuma sezvinhu zvavakapamba.
10 And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
Vakapisa maguta ose avaMidhiani, pamwe chete nemisasa yavo yose.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
Vakatora zvose zvavakapamba, nepfuma, pamwe chete navanhu uye nezvipfuwo,
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.
vakauya nenhapwa, nepfuma uye nezvavakapamba kuna Mozisi naEreazari muprista, uye vaIsraeri vakaungana pamisasa yavo pamapani eMoabhu, paJorodhani uchibva mhiri kuJeriko.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
Mozisi, Ereazari navatungamiri vose veungano vakabuda kuti vandosangana navo kunze kwomusasa.
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.
Mozisi akatsamwira machinda ehondo, vatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana, vakadzoka kuhondo.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
Akavabvunza akati, “Ko, makatendera vakadzi vose kuti vararame here?
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.
Ndivo vakanga vachitevera zano raBharamu uye ndivo vakatsausa vaIsraeri kubva kuna Jehovha pane zvakaitika paPeori, naizvozvo denda rikauya pamusoro pavanhu vaJehovha.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Zvino chiurayai vakomana vose. Uye muuraye mukadzi mumwe nomumwe akavata nomurume,
18 But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
asi muzvisiyire musikana mumwe nomumwe asina kuvata nomurume.
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.
“Imi mose makauraya ani zvake kana kubata ani zvake akaurayiwa, munofanira kugara kunze kwomusasa kwamazuva manomwe. Pazuva rechitanhatu nezuva rechinomwe, munofanira kuzvinatsa imi nenhapwa dzenyu.
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.
Munatse nguo imwe neimwe pamwe chete nezvose zvakaitwa namatehwe, mvere dzembudzi kana makushe ehwai.”
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:
Ipapo Ereazari muprista akati kuvarwi vakanga vaenda kuhondo, “Hezvino zvinodikanwa
22 howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
pamurayiro wakapiwa Mozisi naJehovha: goridhe, sirivha, ndarira, simbi, tini, mutobvu
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.
nezvimwewo zvisingaparadzwi nomoto; zvinofanira kuiswa mumoto, ipapo zvichava zvakanaka. Asi zvinofanirawo kucheneswa nemvura yokunatsa. Uye zvose zvisingagoni kukunda moto zvinofanira kupinzwa nomumvura imomo.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
Pazuva rechinomwe musuke nguo dzenyu, ipapo muchava vakachena. Ipapo mungazochipinda henyu mumusasa.”
25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
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:
“Iwe naEreazari muprista navakuru vemhuri veungano munofanira kuverenga vanhu vose nezvipfuwo zvakapambwa.
27 and divide the prey into two parts; between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation:
Mugovere zvakapambwa pakati pavarwi vakaenda kuhondo uye navakasara muungano.
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:
Kubva kuvarwi vakanga vandorwa kuhondo, utsaure somutero waJehovha chinhu chimwe chete pazvinhu mazana mashanu, vangava vanhu, mombe, mbongoro, makwai kana mbudzi.
29 take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for the LORD’S heave offering.
Utore mutero uyu kubva pahafu yavo yomugove wavo ugopa kuna Ereazari muprista somugove waJehovha.
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.
Kubva kuhafu inova yavaIsraeri, utsaure chinhu chimwe chete kubva pamakumi mashanu oga oga, vangava vanhu, mombe, mbongoro, makwai, mbudzi kana zvimwe zvipfuwo. Uzvipe kuvaRevhi, ivo vane basa rokuchengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Saka Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakaita sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
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,
Zvakatapwa zvakasara pane zvavakapamba zvakanga zvatorwa navarwi zvaisvika zviuru mazana matanhatu namakumi manomwe nezvishanu zvamakwai,
33 and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
mombe zviuru makumi manomwe nezviviri,
34 and threescore and one thousand asses,
mbongoro zviuru makumi matanhatu nechiuru chimwe chete
35 and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
uye vakadzi zviuru makumi matatu nezviviri vakanga vasina kumbovata navarume.
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:
Hafu yomugove wavaya vakarwa muhondo yaiva: makwai zviuru mazana matatu namakumi matatu nezvinomwe, namazana mashanu,
37 and the LORD’S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
mutero waJehovha paari wakanga uri makwai mazana matanhatu namakwai manomwe namashanu;
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and twelve.
mombe dzaisvika zviuru makumi matatu nezvitanhatu, mutero waJehovha padziri waiva mombe makumi manomwe nembiri;
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and one.
mbongoro dzaiva zviuru makumi matatu namazana mashanu, mutero waJehovha padziri wakanga uri mbongoro makumi matanhatu neimwe chete;
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom the LORD’S tribute was thirty and two persons.
vanhu vaisvika zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu, mutero waJehovha pavari waiva vanhu makumi matatu navaviri.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Mozisi akapa mutero kuna Ereazari muprista somugove waJehovha, sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
42 And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred,
Hafu yakanga iri yavaIsraeri, yakatsaurwa naMozisi kubva kuvarume vehondo,
43 (now the congregation’s half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
hafu yeungano yaiva makwai zviuru mazana matatu namakumi matatu namanomwe, namazana mashanu,
44 and thirty and six thousand beeves,
mombe zviuru makumi matatu, nezvitanhatu,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
mbongoro dzaiva zviuru makumi matatu, namazana mashanu
46 and sixteen thousand persons; )
uye vanhu vaiva zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu.
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.
Kubva pahafu yaiva yavaIsraeri, Mozisi akatsaura munhu mumwe chete kubva pavanhu makumi mashanu, chipfuwo chimwe chete kubva pazvipfuwo makumi mashanu, sezvakarayirwa naJehovha, akazvipa kuvaRevhi, vakanga vane basa rokuchengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha.
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:
Ipapo machinda akanga ari vatariri vamapoka ehondo, vatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana vakaenda kuna Mozisi
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.
vakati kwaari, “Varanda venyu vaverenga varwi vari pasi pedu, hapana kana mumwe chete asipo.
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.
Saka tauya nechipo kuna Jehovha chezvishongo zvegoridhe zvakawanikwa nomumwe nomumwe wedu, zvishongo zvegoridhe, mhete dzomumaoko, mhete dzomunzeve nouketani hwomumutsipa kuti tizviyananisire pamberi paJehovha.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakagamuchira kubva kwavari goridhe, zvinhu zvose zvakanga zvakaitwa noumhizha.
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.
Goridhe rose rakabva kuvatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana rakapiwa kuna Jehovha naMozisi naEreazari muprista rairema mashekeri zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu, namazana manomwe namakumi mashanu.
53 ([For] the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)
Murwi mumwe nomumwe akanga azvitorera zvake zvakapambwa.
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.
Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakagamuchira goridhe rakabva kuvatungamiri vezviuru nokuvatungamiri vamazana vakariisa muTende Rokusangana kuti chive chirangaridzo chavaIsraeri pamberi paJehovha.
