Resansman 31
1 Seyè a pale ak Mwiz, li di l' konsa:
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and said,
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.
“Before you die, [tell the] Israeli people that they should (pay back/get revenge on) the Midian people-group for what they did to you.”
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/I said to the people, “Get some men prepared for battle. Yahweh will enable them to (pay back/get revenge on) the Midian people-group [for what they did to us].
4 N'a pran mil gason nan chak branch fanmi pèp Izrayèl la pou n' voye al goumen.
Select 1,000 men from each tribe to fight.”
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 12,000 men prepared for fighting in the battle, 1,000 from each tribe.
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.
When Moses/I sent them to the battle, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, went with them. He took with him some of the things from the Sacred Tent and the trumpets that would be blown to give the signal [to start the battle].
7 Yo atake moun Madyan yo jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd la, yo touye tout gason yo.
The Israeli men fought the soldiers from the Midian people-group, as Yahweh had told Moses/me to tell them to do, and they killed every man from the Midian people-group.
8 Yo touye senk wa moun Madyan yo: Evi, Rekèm, Zou, Our ak Reba. Yo touye Balaram, pitit Beyò a, tou.
Among those whom they killed were the five kings of the Midian people-group—Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also killed with a sword Balaam, the son of Beor.
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.
They captured all the women and children of the Midian people-group and took away their cattle, their flocks of sheep, and herds of goats, and all their other possessions.
10 Yo boule tout kay nan lavil yo ak tout kan kote moun yo te rete.
Then they burned down all the houses in the towns and villages where the people of the Midian people-group lived,
11 Apre sa, yo pran tou sa yo te ranmase, tout bèt ak tout moun yo te fè prizonye yo,
but they took home with them all the women and children and animals and possessions.
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 all these to Eliezer and Moses/me, and to the rest of the Israeli people who were at their/our camp on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, near the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
13 Moyiz, Eleaza, prèt la ak tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo soti nan kan an al kontre lame a.
Eleazar and all the leaders of the people and Moses/I went outside the camp to greet/meet with 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.
But Moses/I was angry with some of the men who had returned from the battle. He/I was angry with the army officers and the men who were commanders of 1,000 men and those who were commanders of 100 men.
15 Li di yo konsa: -Poukisa nou pa touye tout medam sa yo?
He/I asked them, “Why did you allow the women to live [RHQ]?
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.
They are the ones who did what Balaam suggested and urged/persuaded our people to worship Baal [instead of Yahweh]. As a result, Yahweh caused a plague to strike his people while they were at Peor.
17 Se pou nou touye tout pitit gason yo. Se pou nou touye tout fanm ki kouche ak gason deja.
So, now you must kill all the boys of the Midian people-group, and also kill all the women who have had sex [EUP] with any man.
18 Men, n'a sove lavi tout jenn fi ki poko janm kouche ak gason. N'a pran yo pou nou.
Spare only the girls who are virgins [EUP]. You can keep them to be your [wives or your slaves].
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 someone or touched the corpse of someone who was killed [in the battle] must stay outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and on the seventh day, you must [perform the ritual to] cause you and those whom you have captured to become acceptable to God again.
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.
You must also wash your clothes and anything [that you took to the battle] that is made of leather or 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.
Then Eleazar said to the soldiers who had returned from the battle, “This is what Yahweh has instructed Moses:
22 Tout moso lò, tout moso ajan, tout bout fè, tout moso kwiv, tout moso plon,
You must put into a fire any gold or silver or bronze or iron or tin or lead things [that you brought back from the battle].
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.
Put everything that will not burn into the fire, and then they will be acceptable for you to use. But also sprinkle those things with the water that causes things and people to become acceptable to God. The things that would burn [if you put them] in a fire, sprinkle them with that 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, wash your clothes, and then you will become acceptable to God again. After you do that, you may return to the camp.”
25 Seyè a pale ak Moyiz, li di l' konsa:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
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.
“Tell Eleazar and the leaders of the family groups that they must write down a list of all the goods, the women, and the animals that were captured [in the battle].
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 they must divide all those things, half given to the men who fought in the battle and the other half given to the rest of the people.
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.
From the men who fought in the battle, take one from every 500 people and from every 500 cattle and donkeys and sheep, to be a tax for me.
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 these things to Eleazar to (be my share/belong to me).
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.
And from the half that belongs to the ordinary people, take one item from every 50. That includes people, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, and other animals. Give those things to the descendants of Levi who take care of my Sacred Tent.”
31 Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, te fè tout bagay jan Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a.
So Eleazar and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded.
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,
There were 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys, and 32,000 virgins that they had captured from the Midian people-group.
33 swasanndouzmil (72.000) bèf,
34 swasanteyenmil (61.000) bourik,
35 tranndemil (32.000) jenn fi ki poko janm kouche ak gason.
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,
The men who fought in the battle took 337,000 sheep [from the battle],
37 ak sisanswasannkenz (675) ladan yo pou Seyè a,
and they gave 675 of them to Yahweh.
38 trannsimil (36.000) bèf ak swasanndouz ladan yo pou Seyè a,
They took 36,000 cattle and gave 72 of them to Yahweh.
39 trantmil senksan (30.500) bourik ak swasanteyen ladan yo pou Seyè a,
They took 30,500 donkeys, and they gave 61 of them to Yahweh.
40 sèzmil (16.000) jenn fi ak trannde ladan yo pou Seyè a.
They took 16,000 virgins, and they dedicated 32 of them to Yahweh.
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/I gave to Eleazar all [the animals] that had been given to Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded.
42 Lòt mwatye a te pou rès pèp Izrayèl la. Lè Moyiz fin wete sa ki te pou sòlda yo,
Moses/I separated what those who had fought in the battle received from what the other people received. The people had taken 337,500 sheep, 36,000 cattle, 30,500 donkeys, and 16,000 virgins,
43 men sa ki te rete: twasantrannsètmil senksan (337.500) mouton ak kabrit,
44 trannsimil (36.000) bèf,
45 trantmil senksan (30.500) bourik ak
46 sèzmil (16.000) jenn fi.
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 what the people received, Moses/I took one from every 50 items and dedicated them to Yahweh. That included animals and people. As Yahweh commanded, he/I gave them all to the descendants of Levi who took care of the Sacred Tent.
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 army officers and those who commanded 1,000 men and those who commanded 100 men came to Moses/me.
49 Epi yo di l': -Nou konte kantite sòlda ki te sou kont nou yo, nou jwenn yo tout la.
They said, “We, who are your servants, have counted the soldiers whom we command, and [we found that] none of them (is missing/has been killed).
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 [to thank Yahweh for that], we have brought to him a gift of the gold items that we found [after the battle]: Gold arm bands and bracelets and rings and earrings and necklaces. This will enable us to be forgiven for our sins.”
51 Moyiz ak Eleaza, prèt la, resevwa tout bijou lò yo te pote yo.
So Eleazar and Moses/I accepted the gold items that they brought.
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 total of it weighed about (420 pounds/190 kg.).
53 Men, sòlda yo menm te kenbe sa yo te pran pou tèt pa yo.
Each soldier had taken these things 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.
Eleazar and Moses/I accepted these gold items from these commanders and put them in the Sacred Tent to remind the Israeli people about how Yahweh [had helped them defeat the Midian people-group].
