Ndari 31
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
Then the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Rĩhĩria andũ a Isiraeli harĩ andũ a Midiani. Na thuutha ũcio nĩũgũcooka ũkue.”
Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa akĩĩra andũ acio atĩrĩ, “Andũ amwe anyu nĩmeohe indo ciao cia mbaara mathiĩ makahũũrane na andũ a Midiani nĩguo marĩhĩrie Jehova kũrĩ o.
So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.
4 Tũmai andũ 1,000 kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga wa Isiraeli mbaara-inĩ.”
From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ 12,000 meeohete indo cia mbaara, o 1,000 kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga, makĩneanwo kuuma mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli.
So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.
6 Musa akĩmatũma mbaara-inĩ, o 1,000 kuuma harĩ o mũhĩrĩga, marĩ hamwe na Finehasi mũrũ wa Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, ũrĩa wakuuire indo cia handũ-harĩa-haamũre, o na tũrumbeta twa kũhuhwo.
And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.
7 Nao makĩhũũrana na andũ a Midiani o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa, na makĩũraga arũme othe.
And they made war on Midian, as the Lord gave orders to Moses; and they put to death every male.
8 Gatagatĩ ka arĩa mooragire nĩ Evi, na Rekemu, na Zuru, na Huri, na Reba, athamaki arĩa atano a Midiani. O na ningĩ nĩmooragire Balamu mũrũ wa Beori na rũhiũ rwa njora.
They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.
9 Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtaha andũ-a-nja a Midiani na ciana, na magĩkuua ndũũru ciothe cia andũ a Midiani cia ngʼombe na cia mbũri, na magĩtaha indo iria ingĩ ciothe.
The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;
10 Magĩcina matũũra mothe kũrĩa andũ a Midiani maatũũrĩte, o ũndũ ũmwe na kambĩ ciao.
And after burning all their towns and all their tent-circles,
11 Magĩkuua indo ciothe iria maatahĩte na iria maatunyanĩte hamwe na andũ na nyamũ,
They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast.
12 na magĩtwara andũ arĩa matahĩtwo na indo icio maatunyanĩte, na iria maatahĩte kũrĩ Musa na kũrĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na kũrĩ kĩũngano kĩa andũ a Isiraeli kũu kambĩ yarĩ werũ-inĩ wa Moabi, hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũrĩmo wa Jeriko.
And the prisoners and the goods and everything they had taken, they took to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the people of Israel, to the tent-circle in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.
13 Musa, na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na atongoria othe a kĩrĩndĩ magĩthiĩ kũmatũnga nja ya kambĩ.
Then Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs of the people went out to them before they had come into the tent-circle.
14 Musa akĩrakarĩra anene a mbũtũ icio cia ita na atongoria a mbũtũ cia o ngiri, ngiri, na atongoria a mbũtũ cia o igana, igana, arĩa moimĩte mbaara-inĩ.
And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.
15 Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mwĩtĩkĩrĩtie andũ a nja othe matũũre muoyo?
And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?
16 Acio nĩo maarũmĩrĩire mataaro ma Balamu, na nĩo maatũmire andũ a Isiraeli matirike Jehova ũhoro-inĩ ũrĩa wekĩkire kũu Peori, naguo ũndũ ũcio ũkĩrehithĩria andũ a Jehova mũthiro.
It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũragai tũhĩĩ tuothe. Na ningĩ mũũrage mũndũ-wa-nja wothe ũrĩ wakoma na mũndũ mũrũme,
So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.
18 no mwĩhonokerie mũirĩtu o wothe ũrĩa ũtarĩ wakoma na mũndũ mũrũme.
But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.
19 “Inyuothe arĩa mũũragĩte mũndũ o wothe kana mũkahutia mũndũ o wothe mũũrage no nginya mũikare nja ya kambĩ mĩthenya mũgwanja. Mũthenya wa ĩtatũ na wa mũgwanja, no nginya mwĩtherie inyuĩ ene na arĩa mũtahĩte.
You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean.
20 Theriai nguo ciothe, o ũndũ ũmwe na kĩndũ gĩothe gĩthondeketwo na rũũa, kana guoya wa mbũri kana mbaũ.”
And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean.
21 Ningĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩĩra thigari iria ciathiĩte mbaara-inĩ atĩrĩ, “Watho ũrĩa Jehova aaheire Musa uugĩte atĩrĩ:
Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:
22 Thahabu, na betha, na gĩcango, na kĩgera, na ibati, na rũbũũa
But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead,
23 na kĩndũ o gĩothe kĩngĩhota gwĩtiiria mwaki, no nginya kĩhĩtũkagĩrio mwaki-inĩ nĩgeetha gĩthirwo nĩ thaahu. No rĩrĩ, no nginya gĩcooke gĩtherio na maaĩ marĩa ma kũniina thaahu. Nakĩo kĩndũ gĩothe gĩtangĩĩtiiria mwaki no nginya kĩhĩtũkĩrio maaĩ-inĩ macio.
And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.
24 Mũthenya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, thambiai nguo cianyu na inyuĩ nĩ mũgaathirwo nĩ thaahu. Thuutha ũcio no mũtoonye kambĩ.”
And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle.
25 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
And the Lord said to Moses,
26 “Wee na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na atongoria a nyũmba cia kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ no nginya mũtare andũ othe na nyamũ iria ciatahirwo.
Get an account of everything which was taken in the war, of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of families of the people:
27 Gayaniai indo cia iria ndahe gatagatĩ ga thigari iria ciathiĩte mbaara-inĩ na kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:
28 Kuuma kũrĩ thigari iria ciarũire mbaara, rutai gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova, kĩndũ kĩmwe thĩinĩ wa indo magana matano, marĩ andũ, kana ngʼombe, kana ndigiri, kana ngʼondu, o na kana mbũri.
And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:
29 Oya gĩcunjĩ gĩkĩ kuuma harĩ nuthu ya igai rĩao mũkĩnengere Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai kĩrĩ gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova.
Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.
30 Kuuma kũrĩ nuthu ya gĩcunjĩ kĩa andũ a Isiraeli, thuura kĩndũ kĩmwe kuuma harĩ o gĩkundi kĩa mĩrongo ĩtano, kĩrĩ kĩa andũ, kana ngʼombe, kana ndigiri, kana ngʼondu, kana mbũri o na kana nyamũ ingĩ. Cinengere Alawii arĩa wĩra wao ũrĩ kũmenyerera Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova.”
And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
So Eleazar and Moses did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
32 Indo cia gũtahwo cia iria ciatigarĩte kuuma kũrĩ indo iria ciatunyanĩtwo nĩ thigari ciarĩ ngʼondu 675,000,
Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 na ngʼombe 72,000,
And seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 na ndigiri 61,000
And sixty-one thousand asses;
35 na andũ-a-nja 32,000 arĩa mataakomete na mũndũ mũrũme.
And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.
36 Nuthu ya igai rĩa andũ arĩa maarũĩte mbaara-inĩ ciarĩ: ngʼondu 337,500,
And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,
37 na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ngʼondu 675;
Of which the Lord's part was six hundred and seventy-five.
38 nacio ngʼombe ciarĩ 36,000 na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ngʼombe 72;
The number of oxen was thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord's part was seventy-two;
39 nacio ndigiri ciarĩ 30,500, na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ndigiri 61;
The number of asses was thirty thousand, five hundred, of which the Lord's part was sixty-one.
40 andũ maarĩ 16,000, na kuuma kũrĩ o Jehova akĩrutĩrwo andũ 32.
And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons.
41 Musa akĩnengera Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
And Moses gave the Lord's part, lifted up as an offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
42 Nuthu ĩrĩa yarĩ ya andũ a Isiraeli, ĩrĩa Musa aamũranĩtie na arĩa maathiĩte mbaara-inĩ,
And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men,
43 nuthu ĩrĩa yaheirwo kĩrĩndĩ ciarĩ ngʼondu 337,500,
(Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,
44 nacio ngʼombe ciarĩ 36,000,
And thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 nacio ndigiri ciarĩ 30,500,
And thirty thousand, five hundred asses,
46 nao andũ maarĩ 16,000.
And sixteen thousand persons; )
47 Kuuma kũrĩ nuthu ĩrĩa yaheirwo andũ a Isiraeli, Musa agĩthuura mũndũ ũmwe kuuma kũrĩ andũ mĩrongo ĩtano, na nyamũ ĩmwe kuuma kũrĩ nyamũ mĩrongo ĩtano, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aamwathĩte, na agĩcihe Alawii arĩa wĩra wao warĩ kũmenyerera Hema-ĩrĩa-Nyamũre ya Jehova.
Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
48 Ningĩ anene arĩa matongoragia mbũtũ cia ita, acio maathaga ikundi cia o ngiri ngiri, na ikundi cia o igana igana, magĩthiĩ harĩ Musa,
Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,
49 nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ciaku nĩitarĩte thigari iria twathaga na hatirĩ o na ũmwe ũtarĩ ho.
And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;
50 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩtwarehe indo ici cia thahabu ituĩke iruta riitũ kũrĩ Jehova iria o ũmwe witũ eegwatĩire, nacio nĩ icũhĩ cia moko na bangiri cia moko, na icũhĩ cia ciara, na cia matũ, na mĩgathĩ ya ngingo, nĩguo twĩhoroherie mbere ya Jehova.”
And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord.
51 Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩamũkĩra thahabu ĩyo kuuma kũrĩ o, indo icio ciothe ciaturĩtwo wega.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.
52 Thahabu yothe ĩrĩa yoimire kũrĩ anene a ikundi cia o ngiri, ngiri na anene a ikundi cia o igana, igana ĩrĩa Musa na Eleazaru maatwarĩire Jehova kĩrĩ kĩheo, yarĩ ya ũritũ wa cekeri 16,750.
And the gold which the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds gave, as an offering to be lifted up before the Lord, came to sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 O mũthigari nĩetahĩire indo ciake.
(For every man of the army had taken goods for himself in the war.)
54 Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩamũkĩra thahabu ĩyo kuuma kũrĩ anene a ikundi cia o ngiri, ngiri na anene a ikundi cia o igana, igana magĩcirehe Hema-inĩ ya Gũtũnganwo ituĩke kĩririkania harĩ andũ a Isiraeli mbere ya Jehova.
Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.
