Resansman 31
1 Seyè a pale ak Mwiz, li di l' konsa:
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 -Ou pral pini moun Madyan yo pou sa yo fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo pase. Apre sa, ou pral mouri pou ou al jwenn moun pa ou yo ki mouri deja.
“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
3 Se konsa, Moyiz pale ak pèp la, li di yo konsa: -Pare kèk gason nan mitan nou pou y' al goumen, pou yo mache pran moun Madyan yo, fè yo peye sa yo fè Seyè a.
So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.
4 N'a pran mil gason nan chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la pou n' voye al goumen.
Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”
5 Se konsa nan tout kantite gason ki nan pèp Izrayèl la, yo pran mil gason nan chak branch fanmi. Sa te bay douzmil (12.000) gason antou ki te pare pou al goumen.
So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Moyiz voye douzmil gason sa yo al fè lagè. Li voye ak yo Fineas, pitit gason Eleaza, prèt la, ki t'ap pote veso Bondye yo ak twonpèt pou bay siyal yo.
And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
7 Yo atake moun Madyan yo jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la, yo touye tout gason yo.
Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
8 Yo touye senk wa moun Madyan yo: Evi, Rekèm, Zou, Our ak Reba. Yo touye Balaram, pitit Beyò a, tou.
Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
9 Moun Izrayèl yo fè tout fanm ak tout timoun Madyan yo prizonye. Yo pase men yo pran tout bèf yo, tout mouton yo, tout kabrit yo ak tout lòt byen yo.
The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.
10 Yo boule tout kay nan lavil yo ak tout kan kote moun yo te rete.
Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,
11 Apre sa, yo pran tou sa yo te ranmase, tout bèt ak tout moun yo te fè prizonye yo,
and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.
12 yo mennen yo bay Moyiz ansanm ak Eleaza, prèt la, ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo ki te nan kan an, nan plenn Moab yo, lòt bò larivyè Jouden, anfas lavil Jeriko.
They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
13 Moyiz, Eleaza, prèt la ak tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo soti nan kan an al kontre lame a.
And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
14 Moyiz move sou chèf reskonsab lame yo, sou chèf divizyon mil yo ak chèf konpayi san yo ki t'ap tounen soti nan lagè a.
But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.
15 Li di yo konsa: -Poukisa nou pa touye tout medam sa yo?
“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.
16 Se yo menm ki te swiv konsèy Balaram yo, se yo ki te lakòz moun pèp Izrayèl yo te vire do bay Bondye nan zafè Baal-Peyò a, kifè gwo malè nou konnen an te tonbe sou pèp Izrayèl la.
“Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.
17 Se pou nou touye tout pitit gason yo. Se pou nou touye tout fanm ki kouche ak gason deja.
So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,
18 Men, n'a sove lavi tout jenn fi ki poko janm kouche ak gason. N'a pran yo pou nou.
but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
19 Men, nou menm ki touye moun osinon ki manyen kadav moun mouri, nou pral rete sèt jou andeyò limit kan an. Sou twazyèm jou a ak sou setyèm jou a n'a fè sèvis pou mete nou nan kondisyon, nou menm ak tout prizonye nou yo, pou nou ka fè sèvis Bondye.
All of you who have killed a person or touched the dead are to remain outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and the seventh day you are to purify both yourselves and your captives.
20 N'a fè sèvis pou mete tout rad ak tout bagay ki fèt ak po bèt, bagay ki fèt ak pwal kabrit, bagay ki fèt an bwa, nan kondisyon pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye ka sèvi ak yo.
And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”
21 Eleaza, prèt la, pale ak mesye ki te tounen soti nan lagè yo. Li di yo konsa: -Men yon regleman nou jwenn nan lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz.
Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:
22 Tout moso lò, tout moso ajan, tout bout fè, tout moso kwiv, tout moso plon,
Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
23 tou sa ki pa ka boule nan dife, n'a pase yo nan dife pou yo ka nan kondisyon sèvi pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye. Men tou sa ki ka boule nan dife, se nan dlo yo mete apa pou sa a n'a pase yo pou yo ka nan kondisyon sèvi pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye.
everything that can withstand the fire—must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.
24 Sou setyèm jou a, n'a lave rad ki sou nou yo. Konsa n'a nan kondisyon pou nou fè sèvis Bondye. Se lè sa a n'a ka antre nan kan an.
On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”
25 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
The LORD said to Moses,
26 -Ou menm, Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, ansanm ak tout lòt chèf pèp Izrayèl yo, n'a konte tou sa lame a te ranmase nan lagè a, san bliye bèt yo ak prizonye yo.
“You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count of what was captured, both of man and beast.
27 Apre sa, n'a separe tout bagay mwatye pou mwatye, mwatye pou moun ki te al goumen yo, mwatye pou rès moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to battle and the rest of the congregation.
28 Nan mwatye ki pou moun ki te al goumen yo, n'a wete yon pòsyon ki va tankou yon taks y'a peye pou Seyè a: sou chak senksan (500) moun, sou chak senksan bèt menm kalite, bèf, bourik, mouton, kabrit, w'a wete yonn pou Seyè a.
Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers who went into battle: one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.
29 Sa w'a wete nan mwatye ki pou moun ki te al goumen yo, w'a bay Eleaza, prèt la, tankou yon bagay yo pran pou Seyè a.
Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
30 Sou lòt mwatye ki rete pou rès moun pèp Izrayèl la, w'a pran yonn sou chak senkant moun, sou chak senkant bèt menm kalite, bèf, bourik, mouton, kabrit. Epi w'a bay moun Levi yo ki reskonsab Tant Randevou Seyè a.
From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”
31 Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, te fè tout bagay jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,
32 San konte sa sòlda yo te pran pou yo menm, men sa yo te pran nan men lènmi yo epi yo te pote bay Moyiz: sisanswasannkenzmil (675.000) mouton ak kabrit,
and this plunder remained from the spoils the soldiers had taken: 675,000 sheep,
33 swasanndouzmil (72.000) bèf,
72,000 cattle,
34 swasanteyenmil (61.000) bourik,
61,000 donkeys,
35 tranndemil (32.000) jenn fi ki poko janm kouche ak gason.
and 32,000 women who had not slept with a man.
36 Yo pran mwatye ladan yo bay sòlda ki te al goumen yo. Epi yo wete sa ki pou Seyè a ladan l'. Sa te fè twasantrannsètmil senksan (337.500) mouton ak kabrit,
This was the half portion for those who had gone to war: 337,500 sheep,
37 ak sisanswasannkenz (675) ladan yo pou Seyè a,
including a tribute to the LORD of 675,
38 trannsimil (36.000) bèf ak swasanndouz ladan yo pou Seyè a,
36,000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,
39 trantmil senksan (30.500) bourik ak swasanteyen ladan yo pou Seyè a,
30,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,
40 sèzmil (16.000) jenn fi ak trannde ladan yo pou Seyè a.
and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.
41 Se konsa, Moyiz renmèt bay Eleaza, prèt la, tou sa yo te wete pou Seyè a, jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la.
Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
42 Lòt mwatye a te pou rès pèp Izrayèl la. Lè Moyiz fin wete sa ki te pou sòlda yo,
From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,
43 men sa ki te rete: twasantrannsètmil senksan (337.500) mouton ak kabrit,
this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,
44 trannsimil (36.000) bèf,
36,000 cattle,
45 trantmil senksan (30.500) bourik ak
30,500 donkeys,
46 sèzmil (16.000) jenn fi.
and 16,000 people.
47 Sou mwatye ki te pou rès moun pèp Izrayèl la, Moyiz pran yon moun sou chak senkant moun ak yon bèt sou chak senkant bèt menm kalite, li bay moun Levi yo ki te reskonsab tant Seyè a, jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la.
From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.
48 Lè sa a, tout moun ki te chèf lame a, chèf divizyon mil yo ak chèf konpayi san yo, yo tout vin jwenn Moyiz.
Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses
49 Epi yo di l': -Nou konte kantite sòlda ki te sou kont nou yo, nou jwenn yo tout la.
and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.
50 Se poutèt sa, n'ap pote tout bijou lò nou te jwenn epi nou te pran: braslè, chennèt, bag, zanno, chenn ak meday, n'ap ofri yo bay Seyè a pou li ka fè nou gras.
So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”
51 Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, resevwa tout bijou lò yo te pote yo.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
52 Sa te fè katsan (400) liv konsa chèf divizyon mil yo ak chèf konpayi san yo te pote bay Moyiz ak Eleaza ki te resevwa yo pou Seyè a.
All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.
53 Men, sòlda yo menm te kenbe sa yo te pran pou tèt pa yo.
Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.
54 Se konsa Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, pran lò chèf divizyon mil ak chèf konpayi san yo te pote ba yo a, yo pote l' nan Tant Randevou a, pou Seyè a te ka toujou chonje pwoteje pèp Izrayèl la.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.
