Ndari 31
1 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ:
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
2 “Rĩhĩria andũ a Isiraeli harĩ andũ a Midiani. Na thuutha ũcio nĩũgũcooka ũkue.”
Phindisela impindiselo yabantwana bakoIsrayeli kumaMidiyani; emva kwalokho ubuthelwe ebantwini bakini.
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.
UMozisi wakhuluma ebantwini esithi: Abanye benu kabahlomele impi ukuze bamelane lamaMidiyani, benze impindiselo yeNkosi kumaMidiyani.
4 Tũmai andũ 1,000 kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga wa Isiraeli mbaara-inĩ.”
Thumelani empini abayinkulungwane kuleso lalesosizwe, kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ 12,000 meeohete indo cia mbaara, o 1,000 kuuma kũrĩ o mũhĩrĩga, makĩneanwo kuuma mĩhĩrĩga ya Isiraeli.
Kwasekunikelwa kuvela ezinkulungwaneni zakoIsrayeli inkulungwane ngesizwe, inkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili zihlomele impi.
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.
UMozisi wasezithumela empini, inkulungwane ngesizwe, zona loPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi, ukuya empini, belempahla ezingcwele lempondo zokuhlaba umkhosi esandleni sakhe.
7 Nao makĩhũũrana na andũ a Midiani o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa, na makĩũraga arũme othe.
Basebesilwa bemelene lamaMidiyani, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi, babulala bonke abesilisa.
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.
Babulala njalo amakhosi eMidiyani, ngaphandle kwababuleweyo, oEvi loRekemi loZuri loHuri loReba, amakhosi amahlanu eMidiyani; loBalami indodana kaBeyori bambulala ngenkemba.
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.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebethumba abesifazana bamaMidiyani labantwanyana babo, baphanga inkomo zawo zonke, lezimvu zawo zonke, layo yonke inotho yawo.
10 Magĩcina matũũra mothe kũrĩa andũ a Midiani maatũũrĩte, o ũndũ ũmwe na kambĩ ciao.
Batshisa ngomlilo yonke imizi ayehlala kiyo, lazo zonke izinqaba zawo.
11 Magĩkuua indo ciothe iria maatahĩte na iria maatunyanĩte hamwe na andũ na nyamũ,
Bathatha yonke impango lakho konke okuthunjiweyo, kwabantu lokwezifuyo,
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.
baletha abathunjiweyo lempango lokuthunjiweyo kuMozisi lakuEleyazare umpristi, lakunhlangano yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, enkambeni emagcekeni akoMowabi, aseJordani eJeriko.
13 Musa, na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na atongoria othe a kĩrĩndĩ magĩthiĩ kũmatũnga nja ya kambĩ.
UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi leziphathamandla zonke zenhlangano basebephuma ukubahlangabeza ngaphandle kwenkamba.
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.
UMozisi wasethukuthelela induna zebutho, induna zezinkulungwane lenduna zamakhulu ezazivela ebuthweni lempi.
15 Akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ mwĩtĩkĩrĩtie andũ a nja othe matũũre muoyo?
UMozisi wasesithi kuzo: Liyekele yini abesifazana bonke ukuthi baphile?
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.
Khangelani, yilaba abenza abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngeseluleko sikaBalami, ukuthi benze isiphambeko eNkosini endabeni yePeyori, kwaze kwaba lenhlupheko phakathi kwenhlangano yeNkosi.
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũragai tũhĩĩ tuothe. Na ningĩ mũũrage mũndũ-wa-nja wothe ũrĩ wakoma na mũndũ mũrũme,
Ngakho-ke bulalani wonke owesilisa ebantwanyaneni, libulale wonke owesifazana owazi indoda ngokulala lendoda;
18 no mwĩhonokerie mũirĩtu o wothe ũrĩa ũtarĩ wakoma na mũndũ mũrũme.
kodwa bonke abantwanyana abesifazana abangazanga indoda ngokulala layo, libayekele baphile, babe ngabenu.
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.
Lina-ke, misani inkamba ngaphandle kwenkamba insuku eziyisikhombisa, loba ngubani obulele umuntu, laloba ngubani othinte obuleweyo, lizihlambulule lina labathunjiweyo benu ngosuku lwesithathu langosuku lwesikhombisa,
20 Theriai nguo ciothe, o ũndũ ũmwe na kĩndũ gĩothe gĩthondeketwo na rũũa, kana guoya wa mbũri kana mbaũ.”
lihlambulule sonke isembatho, layo yonke into eyenziweyo ngesikhumba, lakho konke okwenziweyo ngoboya bembuzi, layo yonke into eyenziweyo ngesihlahla.
21 Ningĩ Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai akĩĩra thigari iria ciathiĩte mbaara-inĩ atĩrĩ, “Watho ũrĩa Jehova aaheire Musa uugĩte atĩrĩ:
UEleyazare umpristi wasesithi kumadoda empi ayephume impi: Lesi yisimiso somlayo iNkosi emlaye ngaso uMozisi:
22 Thahabu, na betha, na gĩcango, na kĩgera, na ibati, na rũbũũa
Kuphela igolide, lesiliva, ithusi, insimbi, ithini, lomnuso,
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.
yonke into engahlala emlilweni lizayidlulisa emlilweni, ihlambuluke; loba kunjalo izahlanjululwa ngamanzi okwehlukanisa. Lakho konke okungahlali emlilweni lizakudlulisa emanzini.
24 Mũthenya wa mũgwanja-rĩ, thambiai nguo cianyu na inyuĩ nĩ mũgaathirwo nĩ thaahu. Thuutha ũcio no mũtoonye kambĩ.”
Njalo lizahlamba izembatho zenu ngosuku lwesikhombisa, lihlambuluke, lemva kwalokho lingene enkambeni.
25 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
26 “Wee na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai na atongoria a nyũmba cia kĩrĩndĩ gĩkĩ no nginya mũtare andũ othe na nyamũ iria ciatahirwo.
Thatha inani lonke lempango lokuthunjiweyo, okwabantu lokwezifuyo, wena, loEleyazare umpristi, lenhloko zaboyise zenhlangano;
27 Gayaniai indo cia iria ndahe gatagatĩ ga thigari iria ciathiĩte mbaara-inĩ na kĩrĩndĩ kĩrĩa kĩngĩ.
yehlukanisa impango ibe zingxenye ezimbili, phakathi kwabahlanganyela empini baphuma impi lenhlangano yonke.
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.
Njalo thelisela iNkosi umthelo emadodeni empi ayephumele impi, umphefumulo owodwa phakathi kwamakhulu amahlanu, owabantu, lowenkomo, lowabobabhemi, lowezimvu,
29 Oya gĩcunjĩ gĩkĩ kuuma harĩ nuthu ya igai rĩao mũkĩnengere Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai kĩrĩ gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova.
likuthathe kungxenye yawo eyodwa kwezimbili, njalo ukunike uEleyazare umpristi kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi.
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.”
Lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yabantwana bakoIsrayeli thatha isabelo esisodwa kwezingamatshumi amahlanu, esabantu, esezinkomo, esabobabhemi, lesezimvu, kuso sonke isifuyo, ukunike amaLevi alondoloza imfanelo yethabhanekele leNkosi.
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebesenza njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
32 Indo cia gũtahwo cia iria ciatigarĩte kuuma kũrĩ indo iria ciatunyanĩtwo nĩ thigari ciarĩ ngʼondu 675,000,
Lempango eyayisele lokuthunjiweyo abantu bempi abakuthumbayo yayiyizimvu ezizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu,
33 na ngʼombe 72,000,
lenkomo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa lambili,
34 na ndigiri 61,000
labobabhemi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisithupha lanye,
35 na andũ-a-nja 32,000 arĩa mataakomete na mũndũ mũrũme.
lemiphefumulo yabantu besifazana abangazanga ukulala lendoda, bonke abantu babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lambili.
36 Nuthu ya igai rĩa andũ arĩa maarũĩte mbaara-inĩ ciarĩ: ngʼondu 337,500,
Lengxenye, isabelo sababephumele impi, ngenani, yayiyizimvu ezizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu;
37 na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ngʼondu 675;
lomthelo eNkosini wezimvu wawungamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.
38 nacio ngʼombe ciarĩ 36,000 na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ngʼombe 72;
Lenkomo zazizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesithupha; lomthelo wazo eNkosini wawungamatshumi ayisikhombisa lambili.
39 nacio ndigiri ciarĩ 30,500, na kuuma harĩ icio Jehova akĩrutĩrwo ndigiri 61;
Labobabhemi babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lamakhulu amahlanu; lomthelo wabo eNkosini wawungamatshumi ayisithupha lanye.
40 andũ maarĩ 16,000, na kuuma kũrĩ o Jehova akĩrutĩrwo andũ 32.
Lemiphefumulo yabantu yayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesithupha; lomthelo wayo eNkosini wawungabantu abangamatshumi amathathu lambili.
41 Musa akĩnengera Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai gĩcunjĩ kĩa Jehova, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Musa.
UMozisi wasenika umthelo, umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kuEleyazare umpristi, njengalokho iNkosi yamlaya uMozisi.
42 Nuthu ĩrĩa yarĩ ya andũ a Isiraeli, ĩrĩa Musa aamũranĩtie na arĩa maathiĩte mbaara-inĩ,
Lokwengxenye yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, uMozisi ayehlukanise ivela emadodeni ayelwe impi.
43 nuthu ĩrĩa yaheirwo kĩrĩndĩ ciarĩ ngʼondu 337,500,
Lengxenye engeyenhlangano, eyezimvu, yayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu,
44 nacio ngʼombe ciarĩ 36,000,
lenkomo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesithupha,
45 nacio ndigiri ciarĩ 30,500,
labobabhemi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lamakhulu amahlanu,
46 nao andũ maarĩ 16,000.
lemiphefumulo yabantu abayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesithupha.
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.
Lakuyo ingxenye yabantwana bakoIsrayeli uMozisi wathatha isabelo esisodwa kwezingatshumini amahlanu, esabantu lesezifuyo, wakunika amaLevi ayelondoloza imfanelo yethabhanekele leNkosi, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
48 Ningĩ anene arĩa matongoragia mbũtũ cia ita, acio maathaga ikundi cia o ngiri ngiri, na ikundi cia o igana igana, magĩthiĩ harĩ Musa,
Iziphathamandla ezaziphezu kwezinkulungwane zebutho, izinduna zezinkulungwane lezinduna zamakhulu, zasezisondela kuMozisi,
49 nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ciaku nĩitarĩte thigari iria twathaga na hatirĩ o na ũmwe ũtarĩ ho.
zathi kuMozisi: Izinceku zakho sezithethe inani lonke lamadoda empi ayengaphansi kwesandla sethu; njalo kakulamuntu ongekho kithi.
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.”
Ngakho silethile umnikelo weNkosi, ngulowo lalowo awutholileyo, izinto zegolide, izigqizo, lamasongo, izindandatho, amacici, lezigqizo zentanyeni, ukwenzela imiphefumulo yethu inhlawulo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi.
51 Musa na Eleazaru ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai makĩamũkĩra thahabu ĩyo kuuma kũrĩ o, indo icio ciothe ciaturĩtwo wega.
UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebesemukela igolide kuzo, zonke izinto ezenziwe ngobungcitshi.
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.
Lalo lonke igolide lomnikelo abalinikela eNkosini, livela ezinduneni zezinkulungwane lezinduneni zamakhulu lalingamashekeli azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesithupha lamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamatshumi amahlanu.
53 O mũthigari nĩetahĩire indo ciake.
Amadoda empi ayethethe impango, yileyo laleyo engeyayo.
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.
UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebesemukela igolide enduneni zezinkulungwane lezamakhulu, baliletha ethenteni lenhlangano, kube yisikhumbuzo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli phambi kweNkosi.
