Numbers 31
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
2 “Take vengeance on the Midianites for what they did to the Israelites. After doing that, you will die and be gathered to your people.”
“Folokin nu sin mwet Midian ke ma elos tuh oru nu sin mwet Israel. Toko, na kom fah misa.”
3 So Moses spoke to the people. He said, “Arm some of your men for war so they may go against Midian and carry out Yahweh's vengeance on it.
Ouinge Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Akola nu ke mweun, tuh kowos fah ku in tuyak lain mwet Midian ac kalyaelos ke sripen ma elos oru nu sin LEUM GOD.
4 Every tribe throughout Israel must send a thousand soldiers to war.”
Kowos in supwala kais sie tausin mwet mweun ke kais sie sruf lun Israel.”
5 So out of Israel's thousands of men, one thousand was provided from each tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.
Ouinge sie tausin mwet solla liki kais sie sruf, orala pisa lulap se ke mwet singoul luo tausin su akola nu ke mweun.
6 Then Moses sent them to battle, a thousand from every tribe, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and with some articles from the holy place and the trumpets in his possession for sounding signals.
Moses el supwalosla nu ke mweun ye koko lal Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar mwet tol, su us kufwa ke lohm nuknuk mutal ac mwe ukuk in sulkakin pacl in mweun.
7 They fought against Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses. They killed every man.
Elos mutawauk mweuni mwet Midian oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ac onela mukul nukewa,
8 They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their dead: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor, with the sword.
weang tokosra limekosr lun Midian inge: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, ac Reba. Elos oayapa unilya Balaam wen natul Beor.
9 The army of Israel took captive the women of Midian, their children, all their cattle, all their flocks, and all their goods. They took these as plunder.
Mwet Israel elos sruokya mutan Midian ac tulik natulos, oayapa cow ac un sheep ac nani natulos, ac usla ma lalos nukewa.
10 They burned all their cities where they lived and all their camps.
Elos esukak siti nukewa selos, ac nien aktuktuk selos.
11 They took all the plunder and prisoners, both people and animals.
Elos eis ma wap nukewa, wi mwet sruoh ac kosro uh,
12 They brought the prisoners, the plunder, and the captured things to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the community of the people of Israel. They brought these to the camp in the plains of Moab, by the Jordan near Jericho.
ac use ma inge nu yorol Moses ac Eleazar ac mwet Israel nukewa su muta in nien aktuktuk se in acn mwesis lun Moab, kutulap in Infacl Jordan, tulanang Jericho.
13 Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp.
Moses, Eleazar, ac mwet kol nukewa saya lun mwet Israel elos illa liki nien aktuktuk in osun nu sin mwet mweun.
14 But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the commanders of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from battle.
Moses el kasrkusrakak sin mwet kol lun un mwet mweun, captain lun tausin ac captain lun foko, su foloko liki mweun uh.
15 Moses said to them, “Have you let all the women live?
El siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku lela mutan inge nukewa in moul na?
16 Look, these women caused the people of Israel, through Balaam's advice, to commit sin against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, when the plague spread among Yahweh's community.
Esam lah mutan inge pa tuh ukwe na ma Balaam el fahk nu selos, na in acn Peor elos kolla mwet uh in tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD. Pa sis mwe lokoalok upa sac tuh sikyak nu sin mwet lun God.
17 Now then, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has ever slept with a man.
Ke ma inge, uniya tulik mukul nukewa, oayapa mutan nukewa su etu mukul tari,
18 But take for yourselves all the young girls who have never slept with a man.
tusruktu karinganang nu suwos tulik mutan nukewa ac mutan su soenna etu mukul.
19 You must camp outside the camp of Israel for seven days. All of you who have killed anyone and or have touched any dead person—you must purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day—you and your prisoners.
Inge kowos nukewa su uniya kutena mwet, ku pusralla kutena mano misa, enenu in muta likin nien aktuktuk uh ke len itkosr. Ke len se aktolu ac len se akitkosr, kowos in aknasnasye kowos sifacna ac mutan ma sruhu ke mweun.
20 You must purify every garment and everything made of animal hide and goats' hair, and everything made of wood.”
Kowos oayapa enenu in aknasnasye nuknuk lowos nukewa ac ma nukewa ma orekla ke kulun kosro, unen nani, ku ma orekla ke sak.”
21 Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone to war, “This is a decreed law that Yahweh has given to Moses:
Eleazar mwet tol el fahk nu sin mukul nukewa su foloko liki mweun, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses:
22 The gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead,
Gold, silver, bronze, osra, tin, ac lead —
23 and everything that resists fire, you must put it through the fire, and it will become clean. You must then purify those things with the water of cleansing. Whatever cannot go through the fire you must cleanse with that water.
ma nukewa ma tia motok e, ac fah aknasnasyeyuk in e uh. Tusruktu enenu pac in aknasnasyeyuk ke kof in aknasnas. Ac kutena ma su motok e, ac fah isosyang nu in kof sac.
24 You must wash your clothes on the seventh day, and then you will become clean. Afterward you may come into Israel's camp.”
Ke len se akitkosr kowos fah ohlla nuknuk lowos, na kowos fah nasnasla, ac kowos fah ku in ilyak nu in nien aktuktuk.”
25 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
26 “Count all the plundered things that were taken, both people and animals. You, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the community's ancestor's clans
“Kom ac Eleazar, wi mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel, in oakla ma nukewa ma utuku ke mweun, wi mwet sruoh ac un kosro.
27 must divide the plunder into two parts. Divide it between the soldiers who went out to battle and all the rest of the community.
Kitalik ma utukeni nu ke ip luo, na sang tafu lun mwet mweun, ac tafu lun mwet Israel ngia.
28 Then levy a tax to be given to me from the soldiers who went out to battle. This tax must be one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or goats.
Ke ip lun mwet mweun an, kom fah srela sie liki inmasrlon kais lumfoko nukewa tuh in mwe takma nu sin LEUM GOD— ke mwet sruoh, ac ke un cow, donkey, sheep ac nani.
29 Take this tax from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest for an offering to be presented to me.
Sang ma ingan nu sel Eleazar mwet tol, tuh in sie mwe sang mutal nu sin LEUM GOD.
30 Also from the people of Israel's half, you must take one out of every fifty—from the persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats. Give these to the Levites who take care of my tabernacle.”
Ke ip lun mwet nukewa saya, kom fah srela sie liki kais lumngaul nukewa ke mwet sruoh, ac oru oapana nu ke un cow, donkey, sheep, ac nani. Sang ma inge nu sin mwet Levi su liyaung Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD.”
31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh had commanded Moses.
Moses ac Eleazar oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
32 Now the plunder that remained of what the soldiers had taken was 675,000 sheep,
Pisen ma wap nukewa ma un mwet mweun uh sruokya oasr ke onfoko itngoul limekosr tausin sheep ac nani,
33 seventy-two thousand oxen,
itngoul luo tausin cow,
34 sixty-one thousand donkeys,
onngoul sie tausin donkey,
35 and thirty-two thousand women who had never slept with any man.
ac tolngoul luo tausin mutan su tia etu mukul.
36 The half that was kept for the soldiers numbered 337,000 sheep.
Ip lun mwet mweun uh, oasr ke tolfoko tolngoul itkosr tausin lumfoko sheep ac nani,
37 Yahweh's part of the sheep was 675.
ac ip kac ma itukyang nu sin LEUM GOD oasr ke onfoko itngoul limekosr sheep ac nani.
38 The oxen were thirty-six thousand which Yahweh's tax was seventy-two.
Pisen cow uh oasr ke tausin tolngoul onkosr, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac oasr ke itngoul luo.
39 The donkeys were 30,500 from which Yahweh's part was sixty-one.
Pisen donkey uh oasr ke tolngoul tausin lumfoko, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac oasr onngoul soko.
40 The persons were sixteen thousand women of whom Yahweh's tax was thirty-two.
Pisen mutan fusr uh oasr ke tausin singoul onkosr, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac uh pa mutan tolngoul luo.
41 Moses took the tax that was to be an offering presented to Yahweh. He gave it to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Moses el sang nu sel Eleazar takma inge, su sie mwe sang mutal nu sin LEUM GOD, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin.
42 As for the people of Israel's half that Moses had taken from the soldiers who had gone to war—
Ac ip se lun mwet Israel, ma Moses el srela liki ma lun un mwet mweun uh,
43 the community's half was 337,500 sheep,
oasr tolfoko tolngoul itkosr tausin lumfoko sheep ac nani,
44 thirty-six thousand oxen,
tolngoul onkosr tausin cow,
45 30,500 donkeys,
tolngoul tausin lumfoko donkey,
46 and sixteen thousand women.
ac singoul onkosr tausin mutan fusr.
47 From the people of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, both of people and animals. He gave them to the Levites who kept care of Yahweh's tabernacle, as Yahweh had commanded him to do.
Liki ip lun mwet Israel, Moses el eisla kais sie liki lumngaul nukewa, ke mwet sruoh ac ke kosro uh, ac el sang ma inge nu sin mwet Levi su karingin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin.
48 Then the officers of the army, the commanders over thousands and the captains over hundreds, came to Moses.
Toko mwet kol su karingin un mwet mweun elos som nu yorol Moses
49 They said to him, “Your servants have counted the soldiers who are under our command, and not one man is missing.
ac fahk, “Leum se, kut oakla mwet mweun lasr, ac wangin sie selos tuhlac.
50 We have brought Yahweh's offering, what each man found, articles of gold, armlets and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before Yahweh.”
Ke ma inge kut use mwe yun gold, mwe lohlpo, sein gold, ring, yaring, ah in walwal, ma kais sie sesr sifani. Kut sang ma inge nu sin LEUM GOD tuh in mwe srui lasr ke El molikutla.”
51 Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them the gold and all the articles of craftsmanship.
Moses ac Eleazar eis mwe naweyuk inge nukewa ma orekla ke gold.
52 All the gold of the offering that they gave to Yahweh—the offerings from the commanders of thousands and from the captains of hundreds—weighed 16,750 shekels.
Toasriyen ma inge nukewa ma mwetkol lun mwet mweun orani, alukela paun angfoko.
53 Each soldier had taken plunder, each man for himself.
Elos su tia oaoa in mwet kol lun mwet mweun elos sruokya na ma wap lalos uh.
54 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders of thousands and captains of hundreds. They took it into the tent of meeting as a reminder of the people of Israel for Yahweh.
Ouinge Moses ac Eleazar usla gold uh nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tuh LEUM GOD Elan loango mwet Israel.
