Ọnụọgụgụ 31
1 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gwara Mosis okwu sị ya,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Taa ndị Midia ahụhụ, ka i si otu a bọọrọ ndị Izrel ọbọ ihe ọjọọ ndị Midia mere ha. Mgbe i mesịrị nke a, ị ga-anwụ.”
“Avenge the children of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”
3 Ya mere, Mosis gwara ndị Izrel okwu sị, “Kwadoonụ ndị ikom unu ibuso ndị Midia agha, maka ịbọtara Onyenwe anyị ọbọ.
Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from amongst you for war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD’s vengeance on Midian.
4 Sinụ nʼebo ọbụla dị nʼIzrel gụpụta puku ndị ikom puku ndị ikom.”
You shall send one thousand out of every tribe, throughout all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
5 Ya mere, e sitere nʼigwe ndị ikom niile nọ nʼIzrel zipụ puku ndị ikom iri na abụọ, ka ha gaa buo agha. Ebo ọbụla zipụrụ otu puku ndị ikom.
So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Mosis zipụrụ ha ibu agha, otu puku, otu puku site nʼebo ọbụla. Finehaz nwa Elieza, onye nchụaja, du ha gaa agha ahụ. O bu ngwongwo si nʼebe nsọ, tinyere opi ike nke a ga-afụ.
Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
7 Ha busoro ndị Midia agha dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu. Ha gburu onye ọbụla bụ nwoke.
They fought against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses. They killed every male.
8 Nʼime ndị ha gburu nʼagha ahụ bụ ndị eze Midia ise a na-akpọ Evi, Rekem, Zua, Hua na Reba. Ha jikwa mma agha gbuo Belam nwa Beoa.
They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
9 Ndị agha Izrel chịkọtara ndị inyom niile, na ụmụntakịrị niile nọ nʼala Midia dịka ndị ha dọtara nʼagha. Ha chịkọtara ngwongwo niile ndị Midia ji biri, tinyere igwe ehi, na igwe ewu na atụrụ ha niile, dịka ihe ha dọtara nʼagha.
The children of Israel took the women of Midian captive with their little ones; and all their livestock, all their flocks, and all their goods, they took as plunder.
10 Emesịa, ha mụnyere ọkụ nʼobodo ndị Midia niile na ebe ha mara ụlọ ikwu, rechapụ ha nʼọkụ.
All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
11 Ha chịkọtara ihe niile ha dọtara nʼagha, ma mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ.
They took all the captives, and all the plunder, both of man and of animal.
12 Ndị a niile ha dọtara nʼagha na ngwongwo niile ha lụtara nʼagha ka ha buteere Mosis, na Elieza onye nchụaja na ọgbakọ Izrel niile na mbara ala Moab, nʼakụkụ osimiri Jọdan na ncherita ihu Jeriko.
They brought the captives with the prey and the plunder, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
13 Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja na ndị ndu ọgbakọ Izrel niile pụrụ gaa zute ha nʼazụ ebe ha mara ụlọ ikwu ha.
Moses and Eleazar the priest, with all the princes of the congregation, went out to meet them outside of the camp.
14 Ma Mosis were iwe megide ndịisi agha, ya bụ ndị ahụ na-achị imerime puku ndị agha, na ndị ọchịagha na-achị narị ndị agha, ndị si ibu agha lọta.
Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
15 Mosis jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji debe ndị inyom niile ndị a ndụ?
Moses said to them, “Have you saved all the women alive?
16 Ọ bụ ndị a bụ ndị gbasoro ndụmọdụ Belam, rafuo ndị Izrel mee ka ha ghọọ ndị na-ekwesighị ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị nʼihe gbasara okwu Peoa. Ọ bụ nke a mere ka nrịa nrịa ọjọọ ahụ na-efe efe dakwasị ndị nke Onyenwe anyị.
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was amongst the congregation of the LORD.
17 Ugbu a, gbuonụ ụmụnta ndị nwoke niile, na ndị inyom niile matarala nwoke.
Now therefore kill every male amongst the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
18 Naanị ụmụntakịrị ndị nwanyị ha nke nwoke na-edinabeghị ka unu ga-ahapụ ka ha dịrị ndụ. Unu nwere ike debere onwe unu ndị dị otu a.
But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 “Ma ugbu a, unu niile bụ ndị soro gbuo mmadụ, maọbụ bitụ ozu ha aka, unu abatala nʼime ogige Izrel tutu ụbọchị asaa agafee. Nʼoge a, doonụ onwe unu ọcha, dokwaanụ ndị niile unu dọtara nʼagha ọcha, nʼụbọchị nke atọ na nʼụbọchị nke asaa.
“Encamp outside of the camp for seven days. Whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
20 Debekwanụ uwe niile ọcha, ya na ihe niile e ji akpụkpọ anụ na ajị ewu, maọbụ osisi, mee.”
You shall purify every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.”
21 Mgbe ahụ, Elieza onye nchụaja gwara ndị ikom niile ahụ jere agha okwu sị ha, “Nke a bụ iwu Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis.
Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses.
22 Otu ọ dị ọlaedo, ọlaọcha, bronz, igwe, gbamgbam na opu,
However the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 na ihe ọ bụla ọzọ bụ nke ga-anagide ọkụ, ka a ga-eme ka ọ gabiga site nʼọkụ, mgbe ahụ ọ ga-adịkwa ọcha. Ma aghaghị ịga nʼihu ime ka ha dị ọcha site nʼịsacha ha nʼime mmiri nke nsacha. Ma ihe ọbụla nke na-agaghị anagide ọkụ ka a ga-eji mmiri sachaa, maka ido ya ọcha.
everything that may withstand the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity. All that doesn’t withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water.
24 Nʼụbọchị nke asaa, unu aghaghị ịsacha uwe unu niile, bụrụ ndị dị ọcha. Mgbe ahụ, unu pụrụ ịlọghachi nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị Izrel.”
You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. Afterward you shall come into the camp.”
25 Ma Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
26 “Gị na Elieza onye nchụaja, na ndịisi ezinaụlọ nke ọgbakọ Izrel niile, ga-agụkọ ihe niile unu dọtara nʼagha chọpụta ọnụọgụgụ mmadụ na anụmanụ.
“Count the plunder that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation;
27 Mgbe ahụ, kee ihe ndị a niile ụzọ abụọ. Ọkara ya ga-abụ nke ndị ikom ahụ niile gara agha, ma ọkara nke ọzọ ka a ga-enye ọgbakọ Izrel niile.
and divide the plunder into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
28 Ma Onyenwe anyị nwere oke site nʼoke ndị ahụ jere agha: mmadụ, na ehi niile, na ịnyịnya ibu niile, na atụrụ na ewu niile. Oke Onyenwe anyị bụ otu ụzọ nʼime narị ise ọbụla.
Levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks.
29 Nye Elieza onye nchụaja oke sitere nʼaja a dịka ihe Onyenwe anyị ketara.
Take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for the LORD’s wave offering.
30 Otu aka ahụ kwa, site nʼoke ndị Izrel ga-eketa, kee ụtụ. Otu ụzọ nʼime iri ise, maọbụ mmadụ, maọbụ ehi, maọbụ ịnyịnya ibu, maọbụ atụrụ, maọbụ ewu, maọbụ igwe anụ ụlọ ụzọ. Were ha nye ndị Livayị, ndị ọ dị nʼaka ilekọta ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị, ka ọ bụrụ oke nke ha.”
Of the children of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of the LORD’s tabernacle.”
31 Ya mere, Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja mere dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere ha nʼiwu.
Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 Ihe nweta bụ nke fọdụrụ nʼihe ndị agha lụtara nʼagha bụ ndị a, bụ atụrụ dị narị puku isii, iri puku asaa na puku ise,
Now the plunder, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 Ehi dị iri puku asaa na puku abụọ,
seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
34 ịnyịnya ibu dị iri puku isii na otu puku,

35 Ụmụ agbọghọ na-amatabeghị nwoke dị iri puku atọ na puku abụọ.
and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
36 Ya mere, ọkara e nyere ndị gara lụọ agha dị: Igwe ewu na atụrụ dị narị puku atọ na iri puku atọ na puku asaa na narị ise.
The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred sheep;
37 Nʼime ya, ụtụ e nyere Onyenwe anyị site nʼigwe atụrụ ahụ dị narị isii na iri asaa na ise.
and the LORD’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.
38 Igwe ehi dị iri puku atọ na puku isii. Nʼime ya, ihe e nyere Onyenwe anyị bụ iri asaa na abụọ.
The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which the LORD’s tribute was seventy-two.
39 Ịnyịnya ibu dị iri puku atọ na narị ise. Nke e nyere Onyenwe anyị bụ iri isii na otu.
The donkeys were thirty thousand and five hundred, of which the LORD’s tribute was sixty-one.
40 Ọnụọgụgụ ụmụ agbọghọ dị puku iri na isii. Ndị e nyere Onyenwe anyị dị iri atọ na abụọ.
The persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD’s tribute was thirty-two persons.
41 Mosis nyere Elieza bụ onye nchụaja Onyenwe anyị oke nʼihe ndị ahụ niile a tụrụ nʼụtụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu.
Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD’s wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42 Ma ọkara nke ahụ dịrị ndị Izrel, nke Mosis kewapụtara site na nke ndị ikom lụrụ agha.
Of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men who fought
43 Ọkara nke nzukọ dị, igwe ewu na atụrụ, narị puku atọ, iri puku atọ, puku asaa na narị ise,
(now the congregation’s half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

thirty-six thousand head of cattle,
45 ịnyịnya ibu, iri puku atọ na narị ise,
thirty thousand and five hundred donkeys,
46 ụmụ agbọghọ, puku iri na isii.
and sixteen thousand persons),
47 Site nʼoke ndị Izrel Mosis họpụtara otu ụzọ nʼime iri ise, ma mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ dịka Onyenwe anyị nyere nʼiwu. O nyere ha ndị Livayị na-elekọta ụlọ nzute Onyenwe anyị mmadụ na anụ ụlọ ndị a.
even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who performed the duty of the LORD’s tabernacle, as the LORD commanded Moses.
48 Mgbe ahụ, ndịisi agha niile na ndị ọchịagha na-achị imerime puku ndị agha, na ndị na-achị narị ndị agha bịakwutere Mosis,
The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses.
49 sị ya, “Ndị ohu gị agụọla ndị niile gara agha nọ nʼokpuru anyị, chọpụta na o nweghị onye ọbụla a na-achọ achọ.
They said to Moses, “Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our command, and there lacks not one man of us.
50 Ya mere, anyị wetaara Onyenwe anyị onyinye site nʼihe anyị kwatara nʼagha. Onyinye anyị bụ ihe onye ọbụla nwetara, ihe ọlaedo a na-agba nʼụkwụ na mgbaaka, na ọlaaka ikike, na ọlantị na ihe iyi nʼolu niile, i ji ha chụọ aja mkpuchi mmehie nʼihi onwe anyị nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.”
We have brought the LORD’s offering, what every man found: gold ornaments, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.”
51 Mosis na Elieza onye nchụaja natara onyinye ọlaedo ndị ahụ bụ ihe a kpụrụ akpụ site nʼaka ha.
Moses and Eleazar the priest took their gold, even all worked jewels.
52 Ịdị arọ nke ihe ọlaedo niile nke ndị ọchịagha na-achị imerime puku ndị agha, na ndị na-achị narị ndị agha, nke Mosis na Elieza chere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị dịka onyinye, dị narị kilogram na iri itoolu.
All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 Ndị ahụ lụrụ agha ahụ nwekwara ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ ha debeere onwe ha.
The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.

Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
