Numbers 31
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
2 'Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites — afterwards thou art gathered unto thy people.'
“Uwabwezere zoyipa Amidiyani chifukwa cha zimene anachitira Aisraeli. Ukatha kuchita zimenezi, iwe udzamwalira.”
3 And Moses speaketh unto the people, saying, 'Be ye armed some of you for the host, and they are against Midian, to put the vengeance of Jehovah on Midian;
Ndipo Mose anati kwa Aisraeli, “Perekani zida kwa ena mwa anthu anu kuti akamenyane ndi Amidiyani ndi kuwabwezera choyipa mʼmalo mwa Yehova.
4 a thousand for a tribe — a thousand for a tribe, to all the tribes of Israel — ye do send to the host.'
Mutumize ku nkhondoko amuna 1,000 kuchokera ku fuko lililonse la Aisraeli.”
5 And there are given out of the thousands of Israel a thousand for a tribe, twelve thousand armed ones of the host;
Choncho amuna okwana 12,000 anatenga zida kukonzekera nkhondo, anthu 1,000 kuchokera ku fuko lililonse la Aisraeli.
6 and Moses sendeth them, a thousand for a tribe, to the host, them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the host; and the holy vessels, and the trumpets of the shouting, in his hand.
Mose anawatumiza ku nkhondo, anthu 1,000 kuchokera ku fuko lililonse pamodzi ndi Finehasi mwana wa Eliezara wansembe amene ananyamula zipangizo zochokera ku malo wopatulika ndi malipenga okaliza.
7 And they war against Midian, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses, and slay every male;
Iwo anamenyana ndi Amidiyani monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose ndipo anapha mwamuna aliyense.
8 and the kings of Midian they have slain, besides their pierced ones, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam son of Beor, they have slain with the sword.
Mwa anthu ophedwawo munali Evi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri ndi Reba, mafumu asanu a Amidiyani. Ndipo anaphanso ndi lupanga Balaamu mwana wa Beori.
9 And the sons of Israel take captive the women of Midian, and their infants; and all their cattle, and all their substance, and all their wealth they have plundered;
Aisraeli anagwira ukapolo amayi a Chimidiyani ndi ana awo ndipo analandanso ngʼombe, ziweto zawo zina zonse ndi katundu wawo yense.
10 and all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, they have burnt with fire.
Anawotcha mizinda yonse imene Amidiyani ankakhalamo pamodzi ndi misasa yawo yonse.
11 And they take all the spoil, and all the prey, among man and among beast;
Anatenga zonse zimene analanda ku nkhondoko, anthu ndi zoweta zomwe.
12 and they bring in, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the company of the sons of Israel, the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan, [near] Jericho.
Ndipo anabwera nawo akapolowo ndi zolanda ku nkhondozo kwa Mose ndi kwa wansembe Eliezara ndi kwa gulu lonse la Aisraeli ku misasa yawo ku chigwa cha Mowabu, mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Yorodani ku Yeriko.
13 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the company, go out to meet them, unto the outside of the camp,
Mose, wansembe Eliezara ndi atsogoleri onse a gululo anapita kukakumana nawo kunja kwa misasa.
14 and Moses is wroth against the inspectors of the force, chiefs of the thousands, and chiefs of the hundreds, who are coming in from the host of the battle.
Mose anakwiya nawo akuluakulu a magulu a ankhondowo: olamulira 1,000 ndi olamulira 100, amene ankachokera ku nkhondo.
15 And Moses saith unto them, 'Have ye kept alive every female?
Iye anafunsa kuti, “Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani mwawaleka amoyo amayi onsewa?”
16 lo, they — they have been to the sons of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and the plague is in the company of Jehovah.
Paja iwo ndi amene ankatsatira uphungu wa Balaamu ndiponso ndi amene anachititsa Aisraeli kuti asiye Yehova pa zimene zinachitika ku Peori, kotero mliri unagwera anthu a Yehova.
17 'And now, slay ye every male among the infants, yea, every woman known of man by the lying of a male ye have slain;
Tsopano iphani munthu wamwamuna aliyense. Ndiponso iphani mayi aliyense amene anagonapo ndi mwamuna,
18 and all the infants among the women, who have not known the lying of a male, ye have kept alive for yourselves.
koma sungani mtsikana aliyense amene sanagonepo ndi mwamuna.
19 'And ye, encamp ye at the outside of the camp seven days — any who hath slain a person, and any who hath come against a pierced one, ye cleanse yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day — ye and your captives;
“Inu nonse amene mwaphapo wina wake, kapena kukhudza aliyense amene anaphedwa mukhale kunja kwa msasa masiku asanu ndi awiri. Pa tsiku lachitatu mudziyeretse nokha pamodzi ndi akapolo anu.
20 and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats' [hair], and every wooden vessel, ye yourselves cleanse.'
Muyeretsenso zovala zanu ndi china chilichonse chopangidwa ndi chikopa, ubweya wa mbuzi kapenanso ndi mtengo.”
21 And Eleazar the priest saith unto the men of the host who go in to battle, 'This [is] the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses:
Tsono wansembe Eliezara anati kwa asilikali amene anapita ku nkhondo aja, “Lamulo limene Yehova anapereka kwa Mose ndi ili:
22 only, the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Golide, siliva, mkuwa, chitsulo, chiwaya, mtovu
23 every thing which may go into fire, ye cause to pass over through fire, and it hath been clean; only, with the water of separation it is cleansed, and all that may not go into fire, ye cause to pass over through water;
ndi china chilichonse chimene sichingapse ndi moto muchidutsitse pa moto, ndipo chidzayeretsedwa. Komanso chiyeretsedwe ndi madzi oyeretsa. Ndipo chilichonse chimene chingapse ndi moto muchidutsitse mʼmadzimo.
24 and ye have washed your garments on the seventh day, and have been clean, and afterwards ye come in unto the camp.'
Pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri muchape zovala zanu ndipo mudzayera. Mukatero mutha kulowa mu msasa.”
25 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
26 'Take up the sum of the prey of the captives, among man and among beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the company;
“Iwe ndi wansembe Eliezara ndiponso akuluakulu a mabanja a anthuwa, muwerenge anthu onse ndi ziweto zomwe zinagwidwa ku nkhondo.
27 and thou hast halved the prey between those handling the battle who go out to the host and all the company;
Mugawe zolanda ku nkhondozo magawo awiri, lina la ankhondo amene anapita ku nkhondo, lina la anthu onse.
28 and thou hast raised a tribute to Jehovah from the men of war, who go out to the host, one body out of five hundred, of man, and of the herd, and of the asses, and of the flock;
Pa gawo la ankhondowo, mutengeko gawo la Yehova, pa zofunkha 500 zilizonse mutengeko chimodzi, pa akapolo, ngʼombe, bulu ndi nkhosa.
29 from their half ye do take, and thou hast given to Eleazar the priest — the heave-offering of Jehovah.
Utenge zimenezo pa theka la gawo la ankhondowo ndipo upereke kwa wansembe Eliezara kuti zikhale zopereka zanu kwa Yehova.
30 'And from the sons of Israel's half thou dost take one possession out of fifty, of man, of the herd, of the asses, and of the flock, of all the cattle, and thou hast given them to the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.'
Kuchokera pa theka la gawo la Aisraeli, utengeko cholanda chimodzi pa makumi asanu aliwonse, pa anthu, ngʼombe, abulu, nkhosa, mbuzi kapena zoweta zina. Uzipereke kwa Alevi amene ntchito yawo ndi yosamalira tenti ya Yehova.”
31 And Moses doth — Eleazar the priest also — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Ndipo Mose ndi wansembe Eliezara anachita monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
32 And the prey, the residue of the spoil which the people of the host have spoiled, is of the flock six hundred thousand, and seventy thousand, and five thousand;
Zotsala pa zolanda ku nkhondo zimene ankhondowo anatenga zinali nkhosa 675,000,
33 and of the herd two and seventy thousand;
Ngʼombe 72,000,
34 and of asses one and sixty thousand;
abulu 61,000,
35 and of human beings — of the women who have not known the lying of a male — all the persons [are] two and thirty thousand.
ndi atsikana omwe sanagonepo ndi mwamuna 32,000.
36 And the half — the portion of those who go out into the host — the number of the flock is three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, and seven thousand and five hundred.
Gawo la ankhondo amene anapita ku nkhondo linali: nkhosa 337,500,
37 And the tribute to Jehovah of the sheep is six hundred five and seventy;
mwa zimenezi gawo la Yehova linali 675;
38 and the herd [is] six and thirty thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] two and seventy;
ngʼombe zinalipo 36,000 ndipo gawo la Yehova linali 72;
39 and the asses [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] one and sixty;
abulu analipo 30,500 ndipo gawo la Yehova linali 61;
40 and the human beings [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] two and thirty persons.
anthu analipo 16,000 ndipo gawo la Yehova linali 32.
41 And Moses giveth the tribute — Jehovah's heave-offering — to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Mose anapereka kwa wansembe Eliezara gawo limene linali loyenera kupereka kwa Yehova monga momwe Yehova analamulira Mose.
42 And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses halved from the men who war —
Pa gawo la Aisraeli, Mose anapatula theka limodzi kuchotsa pa zolanda ku nkhondo zonse zimene zinabwera ndi ankhondo aja.
43 and the company's half is, of the flock three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred;
Tsono gawo la Aisraeli linali ili: nkhosa 337,500,
44 and of the herd six and thirty thousand;
ngʼombe 36,000,
45 and of asses thirty thousand and five hundred;
abulu 30,500,
46 and of human beings sixteen thousand —
anthu 16,000.
47 Moses taketh from the sons of Israel's half the one possession from the fifty, of man and of beast, and giveth them to the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Kuchoka pa gawo la Aisraelilo, Mose anatengapo chimodzi pa zolanda ku nkhondo makumi asanu aliwonse, anthu ndi nyama, ndipo anazipereka kwa Alevi amene ankayangʼanira tenti ya Yehova monga Yehova analamulira Mose.
48 And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host hath, (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near unto Moses,
Pamenepo omwe ankayangʼanira magulu a ankhondo olamulira 1,000 ndi olamulira 100 anabwera kwa Mose,
49 and they say unto Moses, 'Thy servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who [are] with us, and not a man of us hath been missed;
iwo anati kwa iye, “Ife anthu anu tawerenga ankhondo amene timawalamulira. Palibe munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe amene wasowa.
50 and we bring near Jehovah's offering, each that which he hath found, vessels of gold — chain, and bracelet, seal-ring, [ear] -ring, and bead — to make atonement for ourselves before Jehovah.'
Ndipo tabweretsa zopereka kwa Yehova zimene munthu aliyense anapeza: ziwiya zagolide, zibangiri, zigwinjiri, mphete zosindikizira, ndolo ndi mikanda kuti tichitire mwambo wopepesera machimo pamaso pa Yehova.”
51 And Moses receiveth — Eleazar the priest also — the gold from them, every made vessel,
Ndipo Mose ndi wansembe Eliezara analandira kuchokera kwa atsogoleriwo golide pamodzi ndi zipangizo zonse zosula.
52 and all the gold of the heave-offering which they have lifted up to Jehovah is sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands, and from heads of the hundreds;
Golide yense wochokera kwa atsogoleri a 1,000 ndi atsogoleri a 100 zomwe Mose ndi Eliezara anapereka ngati mphatso kwa Yehova zinali zolemera makilogalamu 200.
53 (the men of the host have spoiled each for himself);
Wankhondo aliyense anatenga zomwe analanda yekha ku nkhondo.
54 and Moses taketh — Eleazar the priest also — the gold from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they bring it in unto the tent of meeting — a memorial for the sons of Israel before Jehovah.
Mose ndi Eliezara wansembe analandira golide kuchokera kwa atsogoleri a 1,000 ndi atsogoleri a 100 ndi kukamuyika mu tenti ya msonkhano ngati chikumbutso cha Aisraeli pamaso pa Yehova.
