Resansman 31
1 Alò, SENYÈ a te pale avèk Moïse e te di:
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and said,
2 Pran vanjans konplè pou fis Israël yo kont Madyanit yo. Apre, ou va rasanble anvè pèp ou a.
“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 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/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 Yon milye ki soti nan chak tribi a tout tribi Israël yo, nou va voye yo nan lagè.”
Select 1,000 men from each tribe to fight.”
5 Konsa, te vin disponib soti nan milye an Israël, yon milye soti nan chak tribi, douz mil avèk zam prepare pou lagè.
So 12,000 men prepared for fighting in the battle, 1,000 from each tribe.
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.
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 Konsa, yo te fè lagè kont Madian, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la, e yo te 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 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 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 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.
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 te brile tout vil kote yo te rete yo ak tout kan yo avèk dife.
Then they burned down all the houses in the towns and villages where the people of the Midian people-group lived,
11 Yo te piyaje ak tout sila ki te pran an kaptif yo, ni moun, ni bèt.
but they took home with them all the women and children and animals and possessions.
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 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 Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la ak tout chèf ki nan kongregasyon yo te ale deyò kan an pou rankontre yo.
Eleazar and all the leaders of the people and Moses/I went outside the camp to greet/meet with them.
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/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 Moïse te di yo: “Èske nou te bay tout fanm yo lavi?
He/I asked them, “Why did you allow the women to live [RHQ]?
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.
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 Pou sa, touye tout gason pami pitit yo, e touye tout fanm ki gen tan fin kouche avèk gason.
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 tout fi ki poko konnen gason, konsève yo pou nou menm.
Spare only the girls who are virgins [EUP]. You can keep them to be your [wives or your slaves].
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 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 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.”
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 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 said to the soldiers who had returned from the battle, “This is what Yahweh has instructed Moses:
22 sèlman lò avèk ajan, avèk bwonz, fè, fè blan ak 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 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.
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 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, wash your clothes, and then you will become acceptable to God again. After you do that, you may return to the camp.”
25 Konsa, SENYÈ a te pale a Moïse e te di:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
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;
“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 epi divize piyaj la antre gèrye ki te sòti nan batay yo ak tout kongregasyon an.
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 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;
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 pran li nan mwatye pa yo, e bay li a Éléazar, prèt la, kòm yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a.
Take these things to Eleazar to (be my share/belong to me).
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.”
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 Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la, te fè jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
So Eleazar and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded.
32 Alò, piyaj ki te rete nan byen ke mesye lagè yo te piyaje a te si-mil-swasann-kenz mouton,
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 swasann-douz-mil bèf,
34 swasanteyen-mil bourik,
35 epi nan Kretyen kaptif yo, fanm ki pa t janm konnen gason yo, tout moun te trann-de-mil.
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,
The men who fought in the battle took 337,000 sheep [from the battle],
37 taks SENYÈ a te sis-san-swasann-kenz;
and they gave 675 of them to Yahweh.
38 bèf yo te trann-si-mil, ladann taks la te swasann-douz;
They took 36,000 cattle and gave 72 of them to Yahweh.
39 bourik yo te trant-mil-senk-san, ladan yo taks SENYÈ a te swasanteyen;
They took 30,500 donkeys, and they gave 61 of them to Yahweh.
40 moun vivan yo te sèz-mil, ladan yo taks SENYÈ a te trann-de moun.
They took 16,000 virgins, and they dedicated 32 of them to Yahweh.
41 Moïse te bay taks la, ofrann SENYÈ a Éléazar, prèt la, jis jan ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse la.
Moses/I gave to Eleazar all [the animals] that had been given to Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded.
42 Epi pou mwatye a fis Israël yo, ke Moïse te retire nan men mesye ki te ale nan lagè 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 Mwatye kongregasyon an te twa-san-trann-sèt-mil-senk-san mouton,
44 trann-si-mil bèf,
45 trant-mil-senk-san bourik,
46 moun vivan yo te sèz-mil
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 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 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 army officers and those who commanded 1,000 men and those who commanded 100 men came to Moses/me.
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.
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 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 [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 Moïse avèk Éléazar, prèt la, te pran lò pa yo, tout kalite bagay ki fonn.
So Eleazar and Moses/I accepted the gold items that they brought.
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.
The total of it weighed about (420 pounds/190 kg.).
53 Mesye lagè yo te pran piyaj la, chak nonm pou kont li.
Each soldier had taken these things 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.
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].
