And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “Bia hlɔ̃ Midiantɔwo le ale si wokplɔ mi de trɔ̃subɔsubɔ me la ta. Le esia megbe la, àku.”
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
3 Mose gblɔ na ameawo be, “Ele be mia dometɔ aɖewo naho aʋa ɖe Midiantɔwo ŋu, eye woabia hlɔ̃ Midiantɔwo na Yehowa.
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
4 Miɖo ŋutsu akpe ɖeka tso Israel ƒe to ɖe sia ɖe me ɖe aʋa la.”
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5 Ale ŋutsu akpe wuieve bla akpa ɖe aʋa la wɔwɔ ŋu, ŋutsu akpe ɖeka tso Israel ƒe to ɖe sia ɖe me.
So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Finehas, nunɔla Eleazar ƒe viŋutsue nye woƒe aʋakplɔla. Nubablaɖaka la yi kpli wo le esime kpẽwo nɔ ɖiɖim.
And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 Wowu Midian ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe le aʋa la me.
And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 Wowu Midian fia atɔ̃awo katã, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur kple Reba. Wowu Balaam, Beor ƒe viŋutsu la hã.
And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔ la ɖe aboyo Midiantɔwo ƒe nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo katã, eye woha woƒe lãwo kple woƒe kesinɔnu geɖewo.
And the children of Israel took [all] the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 Wotɔ dzo Midiantɔwo ƒe duwo kple kɔƒewo katã,
And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11 woɖe aboyo amewo, eye woha woƒe lãwo katã.
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both] of men and of beasts.
12 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.
And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] Jericho.
13 Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar kple ameawo ƒe kplɔla bubuawo katã do go yi ɖakpe aʋakɔ la,
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 ke Mose do dɔmedzoe ɖe aʋakplɔlawo kple aʋalɔgonunɔlawo ŋu.
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, [with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15 Ebia wo be, “Nu ka ta miena nyɔnuawo katã tsi agbe?
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 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.
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
17 Miwu ŋutsuviwo katã kple nyɔnu siwo dɔ ŋutsu gbɔ kpɔ la fifi laa!
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 Mina nyɔnuvi suewo ya nanɔ agbe, eye woazu mia tɔ.
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 “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.
And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20 Miɖo ŋku edzi miakɔ miaƒe awuwo kple nu sia nu si wowɔ kple lãgbalẽ, gbɔ̃fu alo ati la hã ŋuti.”
And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats’ [hair], and all things made of wood.
21 Nunɔla Eleazar gblɔ na aʋadelawo katã be, “Esia nye se si Yehowa de na Mose
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22 ‘Nu sia nu si ate ŋu anɔ te ɖe dzoxɔxɔ nu abe sika, klosalo, akɔbli, gaɣi alo tsumi ene la,
Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 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.’
Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make [it] 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 go through the water.
24 Le ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, mianya miaƒe awuwo, eye mia ŋuti akɔ ekema miagatrɔ ava asaɖa la me.”
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
26 “Wò kple nunɔla Eleazar kple ƒomeawo ƒe tatɔ siwo le dukɔa me la miaxlẽ amewo kple lã siwo katã wolé le aʋa.
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 Le esia megbe la, miama afunyinuawo ɖe asrafo siwo de aʋa kple ameha mamlɛawo dome.
And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
28 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.
And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
29 Mixɔ nunana sia ƒe afã le wo si, eye miatsɔe na nunɔla Eleazar abe Yehowa ƒe gome ene.
Take [it] of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, [for] an heave offering of the LORD.
30 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.”
And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31 Ale Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar wowɔ se siwo Yehowa de na wo to Mose dzi la dzi.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 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,
And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 nyi akpe blaadre-vɔ-eve,
And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 tedzi akpe blaade-vɔ-ɖekɛ kple
And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 nyɔnuvi akpe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve.
And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36 Nu siawo ƒe afã, si wotsɔ na aʋadelawoe nye: alẽ akpe alafa etɔ̃, blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre alafa atɔ̃,
And the half, [which was] the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37 wotsɔ wo dome alafa ade, blaadre-vɔ-atɔ̃ na Yehowa;
And the LORD’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 nyi akpe blaetɔ̃ vɔ ade, wotsɔ wo dome blaadre-vɔ-eve na Yehowa,
And the beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD’s tribute [was] threescore and twelve.
39 tedzi akpe blaetɔ̃, alafa atɔ, wotsɔ wo dome blaade-vɔ-ɖekɛ na Yehowa;
And the asses [were] thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD’s tribute [was] threescore and one.
40 nyɔnuvi akpe wuiade, wotsɔ wo dome blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve, siwo nye Yehowa tɔ la na Levi ƒe viwo.
And the persons [were] sixteen thousand; of which the LORD’s tribute [was] thirty and two persons.
41 Wotsɔ nu siwo katã nye Yehowa tɔ la na nunɔla Eleazar, abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.
And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42 Mose tsɔ nu siwo woha le aʋa me la ƒe afã na Israelviwo eye afã bubu na aʋadelawo.
And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43 Afã mamlɛa, si wotsɔ na Israelviwo la yi ale: alẽ akpe alafa etɔ̃, blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adre, alafa atɔ̃,
(Now the half [that pertained unto] the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 nyi akpe blaetɔ̃ vɔ ade,
And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 tedzi akpe blaetɔ̃ alafa atɔ̃ kple
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46 nyɔnuvi akpe wuiade.
And sixteen thousand persons; )
47 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.
Even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one portion of 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.
48 Aʋakplɔla siwo le aʋalɔgowo nu, esiwo le ŋutsu akpewo nu kple esiwo le ŋutsu alafawo nu la yi Mose gbɔ,
And the officers which [were] over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49 eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Wò dɔlawo xlẽ asrafo siwo le mía te la, eye wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã mebu o.
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.
50 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.”
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
51 Mose kple nunɔla Eleazar woxɔ sika kple aɖaŋunuwɔwɔwo le wo si.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, [even] all wrought jewels.
52 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.
And all the gold of the 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.
53 Asrafoawo tsɔ nu siawo ƒe ɖe na wo ɖokuiwo xoxo.
([For] the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54 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.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, [for] a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
