Numbers 31
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and said,
Pakaiyin Mose henga hiti hin thu a seipeh tan ahi.
2 “Before you die, [tell the] Israeli people that they should (pay back/get revenge on) the Midian people-group for what they did to you.”
Israel chate hi Midian mite chunga galjona chansah tan, Hiche thilsoh akichai teng nangma jong namite a thisa ho toh umkhom ding ahitai.
3 So Moses/I said to the people, “Get some men prepared for battle. Yahweh will enable them to (pay back/get revenge on) the Midian people-group [for what they did to us].
Chuin Mose’n japi henga a seipeh tan, cheuvin lang Midian mite gasat tauvin, ajeh chu hiche mite chunga hi Pakaiyin phu nalah teitei diu, na lah uva mi phabep galvon tothoa na kon diu ahiye.
4 Select 1,000 men from each tribe to fight.”
Israel phung sung’a kon mi sangkhat cheh dong khom unlang amaho chu galsat akon ding ahiuve.
5 So 12,000 men prepared for fighting in the battle, 1,000 from each tribe.
Chuin Israel mi asang sang lah akon in ama phung sunga kon mi sangkhat cheh adong khom tauvin, galsat ding mong mong in mi sangsom le sangni a kondoh tauvin ahi.
6 When Moses/I sent them to the battle, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, went with them. He took with him some of the things from the Sacred Tent and the trumpets that would be blown to give the signal [to start the battle].
Amaho jouse chu galsat ding in akondoh tauvin, ama phung sunga kon mi sang khat cheh leh Eleazer thempupa chapa Phinehas jaonan, muntheng laiya kimang Bubel phabep, mut ging ding in a khuta pha bep a kichoi jin ahi.
7 The Israeli men fought the soldiers from the Midian people-group, as Yahweh had told Moses/me to tell them to do, and they killed every man from the Midian people-group.
Pakaiyin Mose henga a thupeh bang chun a mahon Midian mite chu gal asat khum tauvin, Pasal a kailhah kiti phot a that chai hel tauve.
8 Among those whom they killed were the five kings of the Midian people-group—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also killed with a sword Balaam, the son of Beor.
A mitha na lah uva chun Midian mite lah a Lengho jong ajao uvin, Leng atha hou chu Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur chule Reba ahiuve. Midian mite chu leng nga ahiuvin, chule Beor chapa Balaam jong chu Israel chaten chemjam in asat lih tauvin ahi.
9 They captured all the women and children of the Midian people-group and took away their cattle, their flocks of sheep, and herds of goats, and all their other possessions.
Hiti chun Israel miten Midian numei le chapang hochu ahin pui tauvin, a gancha hou ahin, a thilkeo jouse’u abonchan ahin chom gam hel taove.
10 Then they burned down all the houses in the towns and villages where the people of the Midian people-group lived,
Midian mite chenna jouse chule angahmun jouseu leh akhopi jouseu abonchan meiyin ahal vam hel taovin ahi.
11 but they took home with them all the women and children and animals and possessions.
Thil asuh set jouseu ahin, gancha abonchan a chom soh kei tauvin ahi.
12 They brought all these to Eliezer and Moses/me, and to the rest of the Israeli people who were at their/our camp on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, near the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
Chu in galsat miho chun galhing hochu abonchaovin agal thilkeo hou jaonan akai tauvin ahi. Hiche ho jouse chu Mose henga chule Eleazer thempupa henga, Israel chate khopi pumpi henga ahin kaijun, Moab phaicham, Jordan vadung pang, Jericho ngahmun a sem na’uva chun abonchauvin ahin kai lhung soh kei tauvin ahi.
13 Eleazar and all the leaders of the people and Moses/I went outside the camp to greet/meet with them.
Mose leh Eleazer thempupa chule khopi sunga lamkai jouse chu polama ache tauvin, galsat miho chu toh aga kimu to tauve.
14 But Moses/I was angry with some of the men who had returned from the battle. He/I was angry with the army officers and the men who were commanders of 1,000 men and those who were commanders of 100 men.
Chuin Mose jong galsat miho asang sang ahin, aja ja chunga thunei lamkai ahung kinung le ho chunga chun alung hang tan ahi.
15 He/I asked them, “Why did you allow the women to live [RHQ]?
Mose’n ajah uva hiti hin a sei tan ahi. Ipi dinga numei ho hi na hing hoiyu ham?
16 They are the ones who did what Balaam suggested and urged/persuaded our people to worship Baal [instead of Yahweh]. As a result, Yahweh caused a plague to strike his people while they were at Peor.
Hiche Numei ho jeh leh Balaam thuhil jeh’a Peor chung chang thu’a Israel chate jouse Pakai adia thet-umtah'a ana chon ahiuvin, hiche jeh chun Pakai mite chunga gamna hoise ana lan sah ahi.
17 So, now you must kill all the boys of the Midian people-group, and also kill all the women who have had sex [EUP] with any man.
Hijeh chun tun naosen na hin poh lah uva pasal akai lhah jouse that tauvin, chule numei hija pasal toh ana kitimat sa jouse jong that jeng tauvin ati.
18 Spare only the girls who are virgins [EUP]. You can keep them to be your [wives or your slaves].
Ahinlah numei hija pasal toh kitimat lou lai chengse chu nang ho ding in hing hoiyun.
19 All of you who have killed someone or touched the corpse of someone who was killed [in the battle] must stay outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and on the seventh day, you must [perform the ritual to] cause you and those whom you have captured to become acceptable to God again.
Chule nangho jouse lah’a gal a mithat ahin, mithi tongkha chan chu, ngahmun polam a ni sagi sung naum diu, nangho jouse na hiuvin, galhing a nahin kai jouse’u nithum lhinni le nisagi lhin nia na kisuh theng soh kei diu ahi.
20 You must also wash your clothes and anything [that you took to the battle] that is made of leather or goat’s hair or wood.”
Na ponsil u kelvun a kisem ahin, savun a kisem, chule thing them akonna kisem manchah jouse aboncha nasuh thengsoh kei diu ahi.
21 Then Eleazar said to the soldiers who had returned from the battle, “This is what Yahweh has instructed Moses:
Eleazer thempu pan galsat akon ho henga a seiyin, PakaiyinMose a thupeh sa danthu a kisem chondan chu hiche hi ahi.
22 You must put into a fire any gold or silver or bronze or iron or tin or lead things [that you brought back from the battle].
Sana leh dangka, sum eng, chule hahngeh jaona bou ahi.
23 Put everything that will not burn into the fire, and then they will be acceptable for you to use. But also sprinkle those things with the water that causes things and people to become acceptable to God. The things that would burn [if you put them] in a fire, sprinkle them with that water.
Thilkeu mei jin akah vam thei lou chengse bou chu meiya na leudiu chu teng athenga na sim bep diu ahiye. Chule thilkeu ho chu thil theng lou kisopna tui mangcha a na sop theng diu, meiya leuva atheng theilou jouse jong na soptheng tho cheh diu ahi.
24 On the seventh day, wash your clothes, and then you will become acceptable to God again. After you do that, you may return to the camp.”
Nisagi lhinni teng leh na ponsil jouse’u nasop theng soh kei diu, chu teng na then bep diu, hichea chu ngahmun nahung lut thei bep diu ahi.
25 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Pakaiyin Mose henga hiti hin a seipeh tan ahi.
26 “Tell Eleazar and the leaders of the family groups that they must write down a list of all the goods, the women, and the animals that were captured [in the battle].
Nang leh Eleazer thempu ahin, khopi sunga lamkai chengse ahin, gal hinga nahin puiyu mihem ho leh ganchaho jouse a-bonchan simtoh tem’un.
27 Then they must divide all those things, half given to the men who fought in the battle and the other half given to the rest of the people.
Galsatna akonna ki chomdoh thilho chu hopni na soding, hopkhat chu galsat miho napeh ding, chule khopi pumpi vang chu chan khatpen chu napeh ding ahi.
28 From the men who fought in the battle, take one from every 500 people and from every 500 cattle and donkeys and sheep, to be a tax for me.
Galsat miho lah akon chun Pakai ding in kai dong sem in lang, mihem ahin, bongchal, sangan, kelngoi ho jong janga lah a khat cheh na lah doh ding ahi.
29 Take these things to Eleazar to (be my share/belong to me).
Hiche lahdoh ding ho hi galsat miho chan akon lah doh ding ahin, Pakai dinga thilto ding hichu Eleazer thempupa chang ding ahi.
30 And from the half that belongs to the ordinary people, take one item from every 50. That includes people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and other animals. Give those things to the descendants of Levi who take care of my Sacred Tent.”
Israel chate jouse lah a konna chan ding chu mihem hihen, bongchal hi jong leh, sangan ho ahin, kelngoi hon, gancha jouse jong somnga lah a khat cheh lahdoh ding, hi chengse chu Pakai houbuh kinbolna mun’a na tong Levi mite chan ding ahiye.
31 So Eleazar and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded.
Pakai thupeh bang chun Mose leh Eleazer thempupan jong abol lhon tan ahi.
32 There were 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys, and 32,000 virgins that they had captured from the Midian people-group.
Gal muna kon galsat mihon ahin chomdoh u gal thil jouse ahin, kelngoi sang ja gup leh sang som sagi leh sang somnga alhing in ahi.
Chule bong sang somsagi leh sangni ma alhing in ahi.
Sangan vang chu sang somgup le sang khat ahi.
Mihem pasal toh kitimat loulai numei agomma sang somthum leh sang ni alhing in ahi.
36 The men who fought in the battle took 337,000 sheep [from the battle],
Galsat akondoh ho chan ding chu kelngoi sang jathum le sang som thum leh sang sagi toh janga ahi.
37 and they gave 675 of them to Yahweh.
Hichengse lah a Pakai chan ding chu kelngoi jagup leh som sagi leh nga alhing in ahi.
38 They took 36,000 cattle and gave 72 of them to Yahweh.
Galsat miho chan ding chu sang somthum le sang gup ahin, hiche lah achun Pakai chan ding chu somsagi leh ni alhing in ahi.
39 They took 30,500 donkeys, and they gave 61 of them to Yahweh.
Galsat miho chan ding chu sang som thum leh janga alhing in, Pakai chan ding chu somgup leh khat alhing in ahi.
40 They took 16,000 virgins, and they dedicated 32 of them to Yahweh.
Galsat miho chan ding mihem chu sangsom le sang gup ahin, Pakai chan ding mihem chu mihem somthum le ni ahiye.
41 Moses/I gave to Eleazar all [the animals] that had been given to Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded.
PakaiyinMose athupeh bang chun Mose chun Pakai dinga a thilto-lom chu Eleazer thempupa henga apedoh tan ahi.
42 Moses/I separated what those who had fought in the battle received from what the other people received. The people had taken 337,500 sheep, 36,000 cattle, 30,500 donkeys, and 16,000 virgins,
Galsat miho chan akon ahin Israel chate chan akon akeh khat cheh Mose’n achomma a koidoh in ahi.
Khopi chan dinga kikheng doh akeh khat jat mong mong chu kelngoi sang jathum leh sang som thum sang sagi leh janga alhing in ahi.
Bong vang chu sang somthum leh sang gup alhing in ahi.
Sangan chu sang somthum leh janga alhing in ahi.
Mihem mong mong chu sang somthum le sanggup alhing in ahi.
47 From what the people received, Moses/I took one from every 50 items and dedicated them to Yahweh. That included animals and people. As Yahweh commanded, he/I gave them all to the descendants of Levi who took care of the Sacred Tent.
Israel chate chan akon chun Mose’n phabep khat akheng doh kit in, Pakayin Mose henga asei bang in, Mihem ahin ganchalah akon hileh somnga lah a kon chun khat cheh alheng doh in, hichengse chu Pakai houbuh alhacha a pang Levi mite ho chu apen ahi.
48 Then the army officers and those who commanded 1,000 men and those who commanded 100 men came to Moses/me.
Chuleh Galsat miho asang sang chunga vaihom thuneiya pang, asang sang chunga vaihom le aja ja chunga vaihomma pang ho chu Mose henga ahung khom soh keiyun ahi.
49 They said, “We, who are your servants, have counted the soldiers whom we command, and [we found that] none of them (is missing/has been killed).
Galsat lamkai ho chun Mose henga hiti hin aseitaovin ahi. Na lhacha a pang keihon ka thuneina noi uva um galsat miho abonchan ka sim toh soh kei un, mihem khat jeng cha jong kalah uva alhasam le amang thai aum poi, atiuve.
50 So [to thank Yahweh for that], we have brought to him a gift of the gold items that we found [after the battle]: Gold arm bands and bracelets and rings and earrings and necklaces. This will enable us to be forgiven for our sins.”
Pakai ding’a thilto chu kei hon mihem ama ama kipehdoh na cheh in, sana kol a kisem chaokol ahin, chao jang, mohor numna khut jem, bilba ho, khi vui ho, hichengse akon in Pakai angsunga keiho kithoidam na ding in ka hin choi tauve, tin asei un ahi.
51 So Eleazar and Moses/I accepted the gold items that they brought.
Chuin Mose leh Eleazer thempupan Galsat mihon ahin choi thilo jouse chu a kilah lhon tan ahi.
52 The total of it weighed about (420 pounds/190 kg.).
Pakai henga amanin atodoh thilto ho chu sana bouseh chu dangka shekel sang som le sanggup toh jasagi leh somnga alhing in, aboncha galsat lamkai ho, asang sang chung leh aja ja chunga thunei hon a todoh u ahi.
53 Each soldier had taken these things for himself.
Galsat akon miho jouse chun ama ama chan ding dol thil akilah soh keiyun ahi.
54 Eleazar and Moses/I accepted these gold items from these commanders and put them in the Sacred Tent to remind the Israeli people about how Yahweh [had helped them defeat the Midian people-group].
Mose leh Eleazer chun galsat mi asang sang chunga thunei vaihom apang ho akon chun sana tampi chu ala lhon tan, Pakai angsunga Israel chate geldoh a aum jing na ding in kikhopna ponbuh sung lam achun ahin choi lut lhon tan ahi.
