Numbers 31
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2 Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
“Totongi ki he kau Mitiane koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea hili ia ʻe tānaki ko e ki ho kakai.”
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.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Teu ʻa homou niʻihi ki he tau, pea tuku ʻakinautolu ke nau ō ki he kau Mitiane, ke totongi ʻa Sihova ki Mitiane.
4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
Ko e toko afe ʻi he faʻahinga taki taha ke mou fekau ki he tau ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.”
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Pea ko ia naʻe tukuange ai ʻi he ngaahi toko afe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae toko afe mei he faʻahinga taki taha kotoa pē, ko e tokotaha mano ma toko ua afe kuo toʻo mahafu ke tau.
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.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻakinautolu ʻe Mōsese ki he tau, ʻo tautau toko afe mei he faʻahinga taki taha, ʻakinautolu mo Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ki he tau, mo e ngaahi meʻa toputapu, pea mo e ngaahi meʻalea ʻi hono nima ke ifi ʻaki.
7 And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
Pea naʻa nau tau ki he kau Mitiane, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese; pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻae kakai tangata fulipē.
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.
Pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Mitiane kaeʻumaʻā ʻae kakai kehe naʻe teʻia; ʻaia ko Ivi, mo Lekimi, mo Sua, mo Hua, mo Lepa, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻe toko nima ʻo Mitiane: pea naʻa nau taaʻi foki ʻa Pelami ko e foha ʻo Peoli ʻaki ʻae heletā.
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.
Pea naʻe taki pōpula ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae kau fefine kotoa pē ʻo Mitiane, mo ʻenau fānau iiki, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻenau fanga manu kotoa pē, mo ʻenau fanga sipi kotoa pē, mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē.
10 And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻenau ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai, pea mo honau ngaahi fale māʻolunga lelei ʻaki ʻae afi.
11 And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae koloa kotoa pē, mo e koloa veteki kotoa pē, ʻae kau tangata mo e fanga manu.
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.
Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae kau pōpula, pea mo e koloa vete, mo e koloa, kia Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kakai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ki he ʻapitanga ʻi he ngaahi toafa ʻo Moape, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Sioatani [ʻo ofi ]ki Seliko.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻoe kakai, kenau fetaulaki mo kinautolu ki he tuʻa ʻapitanga.
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.
Pea naʻe tuputāmaki ʻa Mōsese ki he houʻeiki ʻoe kautau, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻakinautolu naʻe foki mai mei he tau.
15 And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fakamoʻui ʻae kau fefine kenau moʻui kotoa pē?
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.
Vakai mai, ko kinautolu eni naʻa nau fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he akonaki ʻa Pelami, ke fai meʻa kovi kia Sihova ʻi he meʻa ʻa Peoli, pea naʻe hoko ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha ki he kakai ʻa Sihova.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Pea ko eni, tāmateʻi ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki he tamaiki iiki, pea tāmateʻi ʻae fefine kotoa pē kuo ne ʻilo ʻae tangata ʻi heʻena takoto mo ia.
18 But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Ka ko e tamaiki fefine, ʻoku ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha tangata ke takoto mo ia, ke fakamoʻui maʻamoutolu.
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.
Pea te mou nofo ki he tuʻa ʻapitanga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; ko ia kuo ne tāmateʻi ha taha, pea mo ia kuo ala ki he mate, fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu mo homou kau pōpula ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, pea mo hono ʻaho fitu.
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.
Pea fakamaʻa homou ngaahi kofu kotoa pē, pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ngaohi ʻaki ʻae kiliʻi manu, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fulufulu ʻoe kosi, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻakau.”
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:
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ki he kau tangata tau naʻa nau ō ki he tau. “Ko e talatuku eni ʻi he fono ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese;
22 howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Ko e koula, pea mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e tini, pea mo e pulu,
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.
Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne kātaki ʻae afi te mou ʻave ia ki he afi, pea ʻe maʻa ai ia: ka ʻe fakamaʻa ia ʻaki ʻae vai ʻoe fakamavahe: pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻikai kātaki ʻae afi, te mou ʻave ia ki he vai.
24 And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
Pea te mou fō homou ngaahi kofu ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, pea te mou maʻa ai, pea ka hili ia, te mou ʻomi ki he ʻapitanga.”
25 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
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:
“Ke ke lau ʻae koloa ʻaia naʻe maʻu, ʻae tangata mo e manu, ʻe koe, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻae kakai.
27 and divide the prey into two parts; between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation:
Pea vaeua ʻae koloa ko e ʻinasi ʻe ua ko e taha kiate kinautolu naʻa nau fai ʻae tau, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ke tau, pea ko e taha ki he kakai kotoa pē.
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:
Pea te ke fekau ke ʻomi ʻae tukuhau kia Sihova ʻe he kau tangata tau, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ke tau: ko e tokotaha mei he toko nimangeau ʻi he kakai, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga ʻasi, mo e fanga sipi:
29 take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for the LORD’S heave offering.
Ke ʻomi ia mei honau ʻinasi, ʻo foaki ia kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ko e feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova.
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.
Pea te ke toʻo mei he ʻinasi ʻoe fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ko e tokotaha ʻi he toko nimangofulu ʻi he kakai, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga ʻasi, mo e fanga kosi, mo e faʻahinga manu kotoa pē, pea ʻatu ia ki he kau Livai ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova.”
31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
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,
Pea ko e koloa, ʻi hono toe ʻoe meʻa vete naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau tangata tau, ko e fanga sipi ʻe ono kilu mā fitu mano mo e nima afe,
33 and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
Mo e fanga pulu ʻe fitu mano mo e ua afe,
34 and threescore and one thousand asses,
Mo e fanga ʻasi ʻe ono mano mo e taha afe,
35 and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
Pea ko e kau fefine ko e kau tāupoʻou kotoa pē, ʻe toko tolu mano ma toko ua afe, naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha tangata ke takoto mo ia.
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:
Pea ko hono vahe ua ko e ʻinasi ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ke tau, ko hono lau ko e fanga sipi ʻe tolu kilu mo e tolu mano mo e fitu afe ma nimangeau.
37 and the LORD’S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
Pea ko e tukuhau kia Sihova mei he fanga sipi, naʻe onongeau ma fitungofulu ma nima.
38 And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and twelve.
Pea ko e fanga pulu naʻe tolu mano ma ono afe, ka ko e tukuhau mei ai kia Sihova ko e fitungofulu ma ua.
39 And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’S tribute was threescore and one.
Pea naʻe tolu mano ma nimangeau ʻae fanga ʻasi, ka ko e tukuhau mei ai kia Sihova ko e onongofulu ma taha.
40 And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom the LORD’S tribute was thirty and two persons.
Pea naʻe tokotaha mano ma toko ono afe ʻae kakai; ka ko e kakai tukuhau mei ai kia Sihova ko e toko tolungofulu ma toko ua.
41 And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’S heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Pea naʻe ʻange ʻe Mōsese ʻae tukuhau, ʻaia ko e feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
42 And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred,
Pea ko hono vahe ua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe vaeua ʻe Mōsese mei he kau tangata tau,
43 (now the congregation’s half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
(Ko hono vahe ua eni naʻe ʻi he kakai, ko e fanga sipi ʻe tolu kilu mo e tolu mano mo e fitu afe ma nimangeau,
44 and thirty and six thousand beeves,
Mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolu mano ma ono afe,
45 and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
Mo e fanga ʻasi ʻe tolu mano ma nimangeau,
46 and sixteen thousand persons; )
Pea mo e kakai ʻe tokotaha mano ma toko ono afe);
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.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mōsese ʻae ʻinasi ʻe taha ʻi he nimangofulu, mei hono vahe ua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he tangata mo e manu, ʻo ne ʻange ia ki he kau Livai, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova; ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese.
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:
Pea ko e houʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻoe kautau, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai ʻo ofi kia Mōsese:
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.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kia Mōsese, “Kuo fai ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae lau ʻoe kakai tau ʻakinautolu ʻoku mau pule ki ai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata kuo tō ʻiate kimautolu.
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.
Ko ia kuo mau ʻomi ai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova, ʻi he meʻa kuo taki taha maʻu ʻe he tangata, ko e ngaahi teunga koula, mo e ngaahi kahoa, mo e ngaahi vesa, mo e ngaahi mama, mo e ngaahi hau ki he telinga, mo e ngaahi sifa, ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko homau laumālie ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.”
51 And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻae koula meiate kinautolu, ʻio ʻae ngaahi teunga kuo ngaohi.
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.
Pea ko e koula kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulau naʻa nau hiki hake ia kia Sihova, mei he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ko e [sikeli ]ʻe taha mano mo e ono afe mo e fitungeau ma nimangofulu.
53 ([For] the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)
(He naʻe taki taha maʻu ʻe he kau tangata tau ʻae koloa maʻana.)
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.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ʻae koula mei he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻo na ʻomi ia ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ko e meʻa fakamanatu ia ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
