Resansman 31
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Pran vanjans konplè pou fis Israël yo kont Madyanit yo. Apre, ou va rasanble anvè pèp ou a.
“First, avenge the sons of Israel from the Midianites, and then you shall 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.
And immediately Moses said: “Arm the men among you for a battle, so that they may be able to fulfill the retribution of the Lord on the Midianites.
4 Yon milye ki soti nan chak tribi a tout tribi Israël yo, nou va voye yo nan lagè.”
Let one thousand men be chosen from each tribe of Israel, who shall be sent to war.”
5 Konsa, te vin disponib soti nan milye an Israël, yon milye soti nan chak tribi, douz mil avèk zam prepare pou lagè.
And they gave one thousand from each tribe, that is, twelve thousand foot soldiers for battle.
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 them with Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest; also, he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.
7 Konsa, yo te fè lagè kont Madian, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la, e yo te touye tout gason yo.
And when they had fought against the Midianites and had prevailed, they killed all the men.
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.
And they put to death by the sword their kings: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five leaders of the nation, and also Balaam the son of Beor.
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.
And they seized their women and little ones, and all their cattle, and all their goods; whatever they were able to have, they despoiled.
10 Yo te brile tout vil kote yo te rete yo ak tout kan yo avèk dife.
Both their cities and their villages, as well as their fortresses, they burned.
11 Yo te piyaje ak tout sila ki te pran an kaptif yo, ni moun, ni bèt.
And they carried away prey from everything that they had seized, both of men and of beasts.
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.
And they led these to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the sons of Israel. But the remainder of the articles they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, next to the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
13 Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la ak tout chèf ki nan kongregasyon yo te ale deyò kan an pou rankontre yo.
Then Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the assembly went out to meet them beyond 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.
And Moses, being angry with the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions, who had arrived from the battle,
15 Moïse te di yo: “Èske nou te bay tout fanm yo lavi?
said: “Why have you spared the females?
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.
Are not these the ones who deceived the sons of Israel at the suggestion of Balaam, and who caused you betray the Lord by the sin of Peor, because of which the people also were struck down?
17 Pou sa, touye tout gason pami pitit yo, e touye tout fanm ki gen tan fin kouche avèk gason.
Therefore, put to death all of them: whatever is of the male sex, even among the little ones, and cut the throats of those women who have known men by sexual relations.
18 Men tout fi ki poko konnen gason, konsève yo pou nou menm.
But the young girls, and all female virgins, reserve for yourselves.
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.
And remain beyond the camp for seven days. Whoever has killed a man, or who has touched one that was killed, shall be purified on the third day and on the seventh day.
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 all of the spoils, whether it is a garment, or a vessel, or another useful thing, made from the pelts or hair of goats, or from wood, shall be expiated.”
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:
Likewise, Eleazar the priest spoke in this manner to the men of the army who had fought: “This is the precept of the law, which the Lord has commanded Moses:
22 sèlman lò avèk ajan, avèk bwonz, fè, fè blan ak plon,
Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,
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.
and all that may be able to pass through fire, shall be purified by fire. But whatever is not able to sustain fire shall be sanctified with the waters of expiation.
24 Epi nou va lave rad nou nan setyèm jou a pou nou vin pwòp; epi apre, nou kapab antre nan kan an.”
And you shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and, after having been purified, you shall enter the camp.”
25 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse e te di:
And the Lord also 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;
“Take the sum of those things which were captured, from man even to beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the common people.
27 epi divize piyaj la antre gèrye ki te sòti nan batay yo ak tout kongregasyon an.
And you shall divide the prey equally, among those who went out to war and fought, and among the remainder of the multitude.
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;
And you shall separate a portion for the Lord from the portion of those who fought and were in the battle: one soul out of five hundred, as much from humans, as from oxen and donkeys and sheep.
29 pran li nan mwatye pa yo, e bay li a Éléazar, prèt la, kòm yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a.
And you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, because these are the first-fruits of 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.”
Likewise, from the half of the portion belonging to the sons of Israel, you shall receive the fiftieth head of humans, and of oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and of all living things, and you shall give these to the Levites who stand watch over the care of the tabernacle of the Lord.”
31 Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la, te fè jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
And Moses and Eleazar did just as the Lord had instructed.
32 Alò, piyaj ki te rete nan byen ke mesye lagè yo te piyaje a te si-mil-swasann-kenz mouton,
Now the prey which the army had seized was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 swasann-douz-mil bèf,
seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 swasanteyen-mil bourik,
sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35 epi nan Kretyen kaptif yo, fanm ki pa t janm konnen gason yo, tout moun te trann-de-mil.
and thirty-two thousand human lives, of the female sex, who had not known men.
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,
And one half of the portion was given to those who had been in the battle: three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep.
37 taks SENYÈ a te sis-san-swasann-kenz;
From these, for the portion of the Lord, there were accounted: six hundred seventy-five sheep;
38 bèf yo te trann-si-mil, ladann taks la te swasann-douz;
and from the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen;
39 bourik yo te trant-mil-senk-san, ladan yo taks SENYÈ a te swasanteyen;
from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, sixty-one donkeys.
40 moun vivan yo te sèz-mil, ladan yo taks SENYÈ a te trann-de moun.
From the sixteen thousand human souls, there fell to the portion of the Lord thirty-two souls.
41 Moïse te bay taks la, ofrann SENYÈ a Éléazar, prèt la, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
And Moses delivered the number of the first-fruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, just as had been commanded of him,
42 Epi pou mwatye a fis Israël yo, ke Moïse te retire nan men mesye ki te ale nan lagè yo——
from the one half portion belonging to the sons of Israel, which he had separated from the portion of those who had been in the battle.
43 Mwatye kongregasyon an te twa-san-trann-sèt-mil-senk-san mouton,
Yet truly, from the one half portion which fell to the remainder of the multitude, that is, from the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44 trann-si-mil bèf,
and from the thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 trant-mil-senk-san bourik,
and from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46 moun vivan yo te sèz-mil
and from the sixteen thousand persons,
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.
Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites who stand watch at the tabernacle of the Lord, just as the Lord had instructed.
48 Alò, ofisye ki te sou dè milye nan lame yo, kapitèn a dè milye e kapitèn a dè santèn yo te apwoche Moïse,
And when the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions had approached Moses, they said:
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.
“We, your servants, have taken a census of the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and indeed not one was lacking.
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.”
For this reason, we offer as gifts to the Lord whatever gold each one was able to find amid the spoils, in anklets and arm bands, rings and bracelets, and little chains, so that you may intercede for us to the Lord.”
51 Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la, te pran lò pa yo, tout kalite bagay ki fonn.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in its various kinds,
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.
weighing sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels, from the tribunes and the centurions.
53 Mesye lagè yo te pran piyaj la, chak nonm pou kont li.
For whatever each one had taken away in the spoils was his own.
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 having been accepted, they took it into the tabernacle of the testimony, as a memorial of the sons of Israel before the Lord.
