Resansman 31
1 Seyè a pale ak Mwiz, li di l' konsa:
The Lord told 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.
“Punish the Midianites because of what they did to the Israelites. After that you will join your forefathers in death.”
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.
Moses instructed the people, “Have some of your men get ready for battle, so they can go and attack the Midianites and carry out the Lord's punishment on them.
4 N'a pran mil gason nan chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la pou n' voye al goumen.
You are to contribute one thousand men from each Israelite tribe.”
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 one thousand men were chosen from each Israelite tribe, making twelve thousand troops ready for battle.
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.
Moses sent them into battle, one thousand from each tribe, together with Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest. He carried with him the holy objects from the sanctuary and the trumpets used for giving signals.
7 Yo atake moun Madyan yo jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la, yo touye tout gason yo.
They attacked the Midianites, as the Lord had told Moses to do, and they killed all the men.
8 Yo touye senk wa moun Madyan yo: Evi, Rekèm, Zou, Our ak Reba. Yo touye Balaram, pitit Beyò a, tou.
Among those killed were the five kings of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. 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 children, and they took as plunder all their herds, flocks, and possessions.
10 Yo boule tout kay nan lavil yo ak tout kan kote moun yo te rete.
They set fire to all the Midianite towns and camps where they had lived,
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 loot, including 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 prisoners, loot, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the rest of the Israelites where they were camped on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan opposite Jericho.
13 Moyiz, Eleaza, prèt la ak tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo soti nan kan an al kontre lame a.
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the Israelite leaders went out of the camp to meet them.
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.
Moses was angry with the army officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, who returned from the battle.
15 Li di yo konsa: -Poukisa nou pa touye tout medam sa yo?
“Why did you let all the women live?” 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.
“You realize that these were the women seduced the Israelite men, leading them to be unfaithful to the Lord at Peor, following Balaam's advice! That's why the Lord's people suffered from the plague!
17 Se pou nou touye tout pitit gason yo. Se pou nou touye tout fanm ki kouche ak gason deja.
So go and kill all the boys and every woman who has had slept with a man.
18 Men, n'a sove lavi tout jenn fi ki poko janm kouche ak gason. N'a pran yo pou nou.
Let all the girls who are virgins live. They are yours.
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 those of you who killed someone or touched a dead body must stay outside the camp for seven days. Purify yourselves and your prisoners on the third day and the seventh day.
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.
Also purify all your clothing garment and anything made of leather, goat's hair, or 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.
Eleazar the priest told the soldiers who had gone into battle, “These are the legal regulations that the Lord has ordered Moses to be carried out:
22 Tout moso lò, tout moso ajan, tout bout fè, tout moso kwiv, tout moso plon,
All that's made of 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.
anything that doesn't burn—must be put through fire to make it clean. But it still has to be purified using water of purification. Anything that burns must be put 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.
Wash your clothes on the seventh day and you will be clean. Then you can enter the camp.”
25 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
The Lord told 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, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite family leaders are to take a record of the people and animals that were captured.
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 them between the troops who went into battle and the rest of the Israelites.
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.
Take as a contribution to the Lord from what is allocated to the troops who went into battle one out of every five hundred people, 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 this from their half share 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 share, take one out of every fifty people, cattle, donkeys, or sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who take care of the Lord's Tabernacle.”
31 Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, te fè tout bagay jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a.
Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord had ordered 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,
This was the list of plunder remaining that had been looted by the troops: 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 virgins.
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 share for those who had gone to fight: 337,500 sheep,
37 ak sisanswasannkenz (675) ladan yo pou Seyè a,
with a contribution for the Lord of 675,
38 trannsimil (36.000) bèf ak swasanndouz ladan yo pou Seyè a,
36,000 cattle, with a Lord's contribution of 72,
39 trantmil senksan (30.500) bourik ak swasanteyen ladan yo pou Seyè a,
30,500 donkeys, with a Lord's contribution of 61,
40 sèzmil (16.000) jenn fi ak trannde ladan yo pou Seyè a.
and 16,000 people, with a Lord's contribution 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 contribution to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the Lord as the Lord had ordered Moses.
42 Lòt mwatye a te pou rès pèp Izrayèl la. Lè Moyiz fin wete sa ki te pou sòlda yo,
The Israelites' half share left after Moses had given the half share to the troops who had gone to fight,
43 men sa ki te rete: twasantrannsètmil senksan (337.500) mouton ak kabrit,
consisted of: 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.
Moses took from the Israelites' half one out of every fifty people and animals and gave them the Levites who take care of the Lord's Tabernacle, as the Lord had ordered 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.
The army officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, came to Moses
49 Epi yo di l': -Nou konte kantite sòlda ki te sou kont nou yo, nou jwenn yo tout la.
and told him, “We, your servants, have checked the troops we command and not a single man 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 the Lord an offering of the gold objects each man received—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—in order that we may be right before the Lord.”
51 Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, resevwa tout bijou lò yo te pote yo.
Moses and Eleazar the priest accepted from them all the objects 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.
The gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds gave as an offering to the Lord weighed in total 16,750 shekels.
53 Men, sòlda yo menm te kenbe sa yo te pran pou tèt pa yo.
(The men who had fought in the battle had each 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.
Moses and Eleazar the priest accepted the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and took it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial offering for the Israelites in the presence of the Lord.
