Numbers 31
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 'Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites — afterwards thou art gathered unto thy people.'
“Bia hlɔ̃ Midiantɔwo le ale si wokplɔ mi de trɔ̃subɔsubɔ me la ta. Le esia megbe la, àku.”
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;
Mose gblɔ na ameawo be, “Ele be mia dometɔ aɖewo naho aʋa ɖe Midiantɔwo ŋu, eye woabia hlɔ̃ Midiantɔwo na Yehowa.
4 a thousand for a tribe — a thousand for a tribe, to all the tribes of Israel — ye do send to the host.'
Miɖo ŋutsu akpe ɖeka tso Israel ƒe to ɖe sia ɖe me ɖe aʋa la.”
5 And there are given out of the thousands of Israel a thousand for a tribe, twelve thousand armed ones of the host;
Ale ŋutsu akpe wuieve bla akpa ɖe aʋa la wɔwɔ ŋu, ŋutsu akpe ɖeka tso Israel ƒe to ɖe sia ɖe me.
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.
Finehas, nunɔla Eleazar ƒe viŋutsue nye woƒe aʋakplɔla. Nubablaɖaka la yi kpli wo le esime kpẽwo nɔ ɖiɖim.
7 And they war against Midian, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses, and slay every male;
Wowu Midian ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe le aʋa la me.
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.
Wowu Midian fia atɔ̃awo katã, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur kple Reba. Wowu Balaam, Beor ƒe viŋutsu la hã.
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;
Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔ la ɖe aboyo Midiantɔwo ƒe nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo katã, eye woha woƒe lãwo kple woƒe kesinɔnu geɖewo.
10 and all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, they have burnt with fire.
Wotɔ dzo Midiantɔwo ƒe duwo kple kɔƒewo katã,
11 And they take all the spoil, and all the prey, among man and among beast;
woɖe aboyo amewo, eye woha woƒe lãwo katã.
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.
Wotsɔ aboyomeawo kple afunyinuawo katã vɛ na Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar kple Israelvi bubu siwo nɔ asaɖa la me le Moab gbedzi le Yɔdan tɔsisi la to, le Yeriko kasa.
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 kple nunɔla Eleazar kple ameawo ƒe kplɔla bubuawo katã do go yi ɖakpe aʋakɔ la,
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.
ke Mose do dɔmedzoe ɖe aʋakplɔlawo kple aʋalɔgonunɔlawo ŋu.
15 And Moses saith unto them, 'Have ye kept alive every female?
Ebia wo be, “Nu ka ta miena nyɔnuawo katã tsi agbe?
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.
Ame siawo tututue wɔ Balaam ƒe aɖaŋuɖoɖo dzi, eye wona Israelviwo subɔ legbawo le Peor to la dzi; woawoe he dɔvɔ̃ si wu mí la vɛ.
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;
Miwu ŋutsuviwo katã kple nyɔnu siwo dɔ ŋutsu gbɔ kpɔ la fifi laa!
18 and all the infants among the women, who have not known the lying of a male, ye have kept alive for yourselves.
Mina nyɔnuvi suewo ya nanɔ agbe, eye woazu mia tɔ.
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;
“Azɔ la, mi ame siwo katã wu ame aɖe alo ka asi ame kuku aɖe ŋu la, minɔ asaɖa la godo ŋkeke adre. Mikɔ mia ɖokuiwo kple nyɔnuvi sueawo ŋu le ŋkeke etɔ̃lia kple adrelia gbe.
20 and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats' [hair], and every wooden vessel, ye yourselves cleanse.'
Miɖo ŋku edzi miakɔ miaƒe awuwo kple nu sia nu si wowɔ kple lãgbalẽ, gbɔ̃fu alo ati la hã ŋuti.”
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:
Nunɔla Eleazar gblɔ na aʋadelawo katã be, “Esia nye se si Yehowa de na Mose
22 only, the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
‘Nu sia nu si ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe dzoxɔxɔ nu abe sika, klosalo, akɔbli, gaɣi alo tsumi ene la,
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;
woade wo dzo me ale be woakɔ wo ŋu. Emegbe la, woagakɔ wo ŋu kple tsi kɔkɔe. Ke woatsɔ tsi kɔkɔe ko akɔ nu siwo mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe dzoxɔxɔ nu o la ŋuti.’
24 and ye have washed your garments on the seventh day, and have been clean, and afterwards ye come in unto the camp.'
Le ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, mianya miaƒe awuwo, eye mia ŋuti akɔ ekema miagatrɔ ava asaɖa la me.”
25 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
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;
“Wò kple nunɔla Eleazar kple ƒomeawo ƒe tatɔ siwo le dukɔa me la miaxlẽ amewo kple lã siwo katã wolé le aʋa.
27 and thou hast halved the prey between those handling the battle who go out to the host and all the company;
Le esia megbe la, miama afunyinuawo ɖe asrafo siwo de aʋa kple ameha mamlɛawo dome.
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;
Mixɔ nu sia nu si asrafoawo xɔ la ƒe ɖeka le alafa atɔ̃ ɖe sia ɖe me abe nunana ene na Yehowa, eɖanye amegbetɔ, nyiwo, tedziwo, alẽwo loo alo gbɔ̃wo o.
29 from their half ye do take, and thou hast given to Eleazar the priest — the heave-offering of Jehovah.
Mixɔ nunana sia ƒe afã le wo si, eye miatsɔe na nunɔla Eleazar abe Yehowa ƒe gome ene.
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.'
Tso nu siwo ke Israelviwo xɔ ƒe afã me la, tia ɖeka le blaatɔ̃ ɖe sia ɖe me, eɖanye amegbetɔ, nyiwo, tedziwo, alẽwo, gbɔ̃wo loo alo lã bubuwo o. Tsɔ wo na Levi ƒe viwo, ame siwo kpɔa Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ la ƒe nyawo gbɔ.”
31 And Moses doth — Eleazar the priest also — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Ale Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar wowɔ se siwo Yehowa de na wo to Mose dzi la dzi.
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;
Aʋadelawo tsɔ sikanu kple awu siwo woha la na wo ɖokui. Nu bubu siwo woha la woe nye alẽ akpe alafa ade, blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃,
33 and of the herd two and seventy thousand;
nyi akpe blaadre-vɔ-eve,
34 and of asses one and sixty thousand;
tedzi akpe blaade-vɔ-ɖekɛ kple
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.
nyɔnuvi akpe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve.
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.
Nu siawo ƒe afã, si wotsɔ na aʋadelawoe nye: alẽ akpe alafa etɔ̃, blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre alafa atɔ̃,
37 And the tribute to Jehovah of the sheep is six hundred five and seventy;
wotsɔ wo dome alafa ade, blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ na Yehowa;
38 and the herd [is] six and thirty thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] two and seventy;
nyi akpe blaetɔ̃ vɔ ade, wotsɔ wo dome blaadre-vɔ-eve na Yehowa,
39 and the asses [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] one and sixty;
tedzi akpe blaetɔ̃, alafa atɔ, wotsɔ wo dome blaade-vɔ-ɖekɛ na Yehowa;
40 and the human beings [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to Jehovah [is] two and thirty persons.
nyɔnuvi akpe wuiade, wotsɔ wo dome blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve, siwo nye Yehowa tɔ la na Levi ƒe viwo.
41 And Moses giveth the tribute — Jehovah's heave-offering — to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Wotsɔ nu siwo katã nye Yehowa tɔ la na nunɔla Eleazar, abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.
42 And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses halved from the men who war —
Mose tsɔ nu siwo woha le aʋa me la ƒe afã na Israelviwo eye afã bubu na aʋadelawo.
43 and the company's half is, of the flock three hundred thousand, and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred;
Afã mamlɛa, si wotsɔ na Israelviwo la yi ale: alẽ akpe alafa etɔ̃, blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre, alafa atɔ̃,
44 and of the herd six and thirty thousand;
nyi akpe blaetɔ̃ vɔ ade,
45 and of asses thirty thousand and five hundred;
tedzi akpe blaetɔ̃ alafa atɔ̃ kple
46 and of human beings sixteen thousand —
nyɔnuvi akpe wuiade.
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.
Le Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo nu la, Mose tsɔ nu siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe ƒe blaatɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka le Israelviwo tɔ ŋu hena Levi ƒe viwo, ame siwo wɔa dɔ le Yehowa ƒe agbadɔ la me.
48 And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host hath, (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near unto Moses,
Aʋakplɔla siwo le aʋalɔgowo nu, esiwo le ŋutsu akpewo nu kple esiwo le ŋutsu alafawo nu la yi Mose gbɔ,
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;
eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Wò dɔlawo xlẽ asrafo siwo le mía te la, eye wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã mebu o.
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.'
Eya ta míetsɔ akpedavɔsa tɔxɛ vɛ na Yehowa tso nu siwo míeha la me, woawoe nye sika, alɔnugɛwo, afɔgɛwo, asigɛwo, togɛwo kple kɔsɔkɔsɔwo. Míetsɔ nu siawo hena avuléle le Yehowa ŋkume ɖe míaƒe luʋɔwo ta.”
51 And Moses receiveth — Eleazar the priest also — the gold from them, every made vessel,
Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar woxɔ sika kple aɖaŋunuwɔwɔwo le wo si.
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;
Sika si woxɔ tso asrafo akpewo nunɔlawo kple asrafo alafawo nunɔlawo si, eye Mose kple Eleazar tsɔ wo na Yehowa la ƒe kpekpemee nye kilogram alafa ɖeka blaasiekɛ.
53 (the men of the host have spoiled each for himself);
Asrafoawo tsɔ nu siawo ƒe ɖe na wo ɖokuiwo xoxo.
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 kple nunɔla Eleaza xɔ sikawo le ame siwo woɖo ame akpewo kple ame alafawo nu la si eye wotsɔ nunana sia ɖadzra ɖo ɖe agbadɔ la me le Yehowa ŋkume abe ŋkuɖodzinu na Israelviwo ene.
