Resansman 31
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 Pran vanjans konplè pou fis Israël yo kont Madyanit yo. Apre, ou va rasanble anvè pèp ou a.
“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
3 Moïse te pale avèk pèp la e te di: “Bay gason pami nou yo zam pou fè lagè; pou yo kapab sòti kont Madian pou egzekite vanjans SENYÈ a kont Madian.
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 Yon milye ki soti nan chak tribi a tout tribi Israël yo, nou va voye yo nan lagè.”
Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”
5 Konsa, te vin disponib soti nan milye an Israël, yon milye soti nan chak tribi, douz mil avèk zam prepare pou lagè.
So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Moïse te voye yo, yon milye sòti nan chak tribi nan lagè, e Phinées, fis Éléazar a, prèt la, nan lagè avèk yo, avèk veso sen ak twonpèt yo pou sone alam ki nan men l lan.
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 Konsa, yo te fè lagè kont Madian, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la, e yo te touye tout gason yo.
Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
8 Yo te touye wa a Madian yo ansanm avèk lòt ki te mouri yo: Evi, Rékem, Tsur, Hur, ak Réba, senk wa a Madian yo. Yo osi te touye Balaam fis a Beor a avèk nepe.
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 Fis a Israël yo te pran an kaptif fanm a Madian avèk timoun piti yo, tout bèf yo avèk tout bann bèt yo ak tout byen yo te piyaje yo.
The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.
10 Yo te brile tout vil kote yo te rete yo ak tout kan yo avèk dife.
Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,
11 Yo te piyaje ak tout sila ki te pran an kaptif yo, ni moun, ni bèt.
and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.
12 Yo te mennen kaptif yo avèk bèt yo avèk sa yo piyaje yo bay Moïse ak Éléazar, prèt la ak bay kongregasyon fis Israël yo, nan kan nan plèn Moab la, ki akote Jourdain an anfas Jéricho.
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 Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la ak tout chèf ki nan kongregasyon yo te ale deyò kan an pou rankontre yo.
And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
14 Moïse te fache avèk ofisye lame a, kapitèn a dè milye ak kapitèn dè santèn ki te sòti nan sèvis lagè yo.
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 Moïse te di yo: “Èske nou te bay tout fanm yo lavi?
“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.
16 Gade byen, sila yo te fè fis Israël yo avèk konsèy Balaam nan vin peche kont SENYÈ a nan zafè Peor a; konsa, gwo epidemi te vin pami kongregasyon SENYÈ a.
“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 Pou sa, touye tout gason pami pitit yo, e touye tout fanm ki gen tan fin kouche avèk gason.
So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,
18 Men tout fi ki poko konnen gason, konsève yo pou nou menm.
but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
19 “Epi nou menm, fè kan deyò kan an pandan sèt jou; nenpòt moun ki te touye yon moun, e nenpòt moun ki te touche yon mò, pirifye tèt nou, nou menm avèk kaptif nou yo, nan twazyèm jou ak nan setyèm jou a.
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 Nou va pirifye tèt nou, tout rad nou yo, tout bagay ki fèt an kwi, tout travay an po kabrit ak tout bagay an bwa.”
And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”
21 Alò, Éléazar, prèt la, te di a mesye lagè ki te ale nan batay yo: “Sa se règleman a lalwa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la:
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 sèlman lò avèk ajan, avèk bwonz, fè, fè blan ak plon,
Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
23 tout sa ki kapab sipòte dife, nou va fè pase nan dife, e li va vin pwòp; men li va pirifye avèk dlo pirifikasyon an. Men nenpòt sa ki pa kab sipòte dife, nou va pase yo nan dlo.
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 Epi nou va lave rad nou nan setyèm jou a pou nou vin pwòp; epi apre, nou kapab 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 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse e te di:
The LORD said to Moses,
26 “Ou menm avèk Éléazar, prèt la, chèf a lakay zansèt yo nan kongregasyon an, pran kontwòl de sa ki te pran an kaptif yo, ni lòm, ni bèt;
“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 epi divize piyaj la antre gèrye ki te sòti nan batay yo ak tout kongregasyon an.
Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to battle and the rest of the congregation.
28 Fè ranmase yon taks ki pou SENYÈ a sou gèrye ki te soti nan batay yo, youn nan chak senk san moun ke yo te pran an kaptif yo, nan bèf, nan bourik ak nan mouton;
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 pran li nan mwatye pa yo, e bay li a Éléazar, prèt la, kòm yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a.
Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
30 Soti nan mwatye fis Israël yo, ou va pran youn ki sòti nan chak senkant moun, nan bèf, nan bourik ak nan mouton, nan tout bèt; epi bay yo a Levit ki responsab lòd nan tabènak SENYÈ 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 Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la, te fè jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,
32 Alò, piyaj ki te rete nan byen ke mesye lagè yo te piyaje a te si-mil-swasann-kenz mouton,
and this plunder remained from the spoils the soldiers had taken: 675,000 sheep,
33 swasann-douz-mil bèf,
72,000 cattle,
34 swasanteyen-mil bourik,
61,000 donkeys,
35 epi nan Kretyen kaptif yo, fanm ki pa t janm konnen gason yo, tout moun te trann-de-mil.
and 32,000 women who had not slept with a man.
36 Mwatye a, pati a sila ki te ale nan lagè yo te konsa: kantite mouton yo te: twa-san-trann-sèt-mil-senk-san,
This was the half portion for those who had gone to war: 337,500 sheep,
37 taks SENYÈ a te sis-san-swasann-kenz;
including a tribute to the LORD of 675,
38 bèf yo te trann-si-mil, ladann taks la te swasann-douz;
36,000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,
39 bourik yo te trant-mil-senk-san, ladan yo taks SENYÈ a te swasanteyen;
30,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,
40 moun vivan yo te sèz-mil, ladan yo taks SENYÈ a te trann-de moun.
and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.
41 Moïse te bay taks la, ofrann SENYÈ a Éléazar, prèt la, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
42 Epi pou mwatye a fis Israël yo, ke Moïse te retire nan men mesye ki te ale nan lagè yo——
From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,
43 Mwatye kongregasyon an te twa-san-trann-sèt-mil-senk-san mouton,
this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,
44 trann-si-mil bèf,
36,000 cattle,
45 trant-mil-senk-san bourik,
30,500 donkeys,
46 moun vivan yo te sèz-mil
and 16,000 people.
47 epi soti nan mwatye fis Israël yo, Moïse te retire nan chak senkant, ni nan lòm ak nan bèt yo, e li te bay yo a Levit yo, ki te kenbe lòd nan tabènak SENYÈ a, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse 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 Alò, ofisye ki te sou dè milye nan lame yo, kapitèn a dè milye e kapitèn a dè santèn yo te apwoche Moïse,
Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses
49 epi yo te di a Moïse: “Sèvitè nou yo te pran kontwòl a mesye lagè ki sou chaj nou yo, e nanpwen pèsòn pami nou ki pa la.
and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.
50 Konsa, nou vin pote yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a sou sa ke chak moun te twouve, bagay an lò, chenèt, braslè, bag, zanno ak kolye, pou fè ekspiyasyon pou nou menm devan SENYÈ a.”
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 Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la, te pran lò pa yo, tout kalite bagay ki fonn.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
52 Tout lò pou ofrann, yo te ofri devan SENYÈ a, soti nan kapitèn dè milye ak kapitèn dè santèn yo, se te sèz-mil-sèt-san-senkant sik.
All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.
53 Mesye lagè yo te pran piyaj la, chak nonm pou kont li.
Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.
54 Konsa, Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la, te pran lò kapitèn dè milye ak dè santèn yo, e yo te pote li nan tant asanble a kòm yon souvni a fis Israël yo devan SENYÈ a.
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.
