Bilangan 31
1 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and said,
2 "Lakukanlah pembalasan kepada orang Midian karena apa yang sudah mereka perbuat terhadap bangsa Israel. Sesudah itu engkau akan mati."
“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 Maka Musa berkata kepada bangsa Israel, "Bersiap-siaplah untuk berperang; kamu harus menyerang orang Midian untuk melakukan hukuman TUHAN terhadap mereka.
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 Dari setiap suku bangsa Israel, kamu harus menyiapkan seribu orang prajurit untuk maju berperang."
Select 1,000 men from each tribe to fight.”
5 Maka dipilihlah seribu orang dari setiap suku bangsa Israel, seluruhnya berjumlah dua belas ribu orang yang siap bertempur.
So 12,000 men prepared for fighting in the battle, 1,000 from each tribe.
6 Musa menyuruh mereka berperang bersama-sama dengan Pinehas anak Imam Eleazar. Pinehas membawa benda-benda suci dan trompet-trompet untuk memberi tanda-tanda.
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 Sesuai dengan perintah TUHAN kepada Musa, orang Israel menyerang orang Midian dan membunuh semua orang laki-lakinya,
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 termasuk lima raja Midian, yaitu Ewi, Rekem, Zur, Hur dan Reba. Bileam, anak Beor, juga dibunuh.
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 Orang-orang Israel menawan para wanita dan anak-anak Midian, dan merampas segala hewan dan ternak, serta segala kekayaan mereka.
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 Kota-kota dan perkemahan-perkemahan mereka pun dibakar.
Then they burned down all the houses in the towns and villages where the people of the Midian people-group lived,
11 Setelah itu orang-orang Israel mengambil semua hasil rampasan itu, termasuk para tawanan dan hewan,
but they took home with them all the women and children and animals and possessions.
12 lalu membawanya kepada Musa dan Imam Eleazar dan kepada seluruh umat Israel. Pada waktu itu mereka sedang berkemah di dataran Moab, di tepi Sungai Yordan, dekat kota Yerikho.
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 Maka Musa, Imam Eleazar dan semua pemimpin lainnya dari umat Israel keluar dari perkemahan untuk menyambut tentara Israel.
Eleazar and all the leaders of the people and Moses/I went outside the camp to greet/meet with them.
14 Musa memarahi para perwira, para kepala pasukan dan kepala laskar yang baru saja kembali dari pertempuran.
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 Katanya kepada mereka, "Mengapa kamu membiarkan semua wanita itu hidup?
He/I asked them, “Why did you allow the women to live [RHQ]?
16 Bukankah wanita-wanita itu yang menuruti nasihat Bileam, sehingga membujuk umat Israel di Peor untuk meninggalkan TUHAN? Dan itulah yang mendatangkan bencana atas umat TUHAN!
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 Nah, sekarang bunuhlah setiap anak laki-laki dan setiap wanita yang bukan perawan lagi.
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 Tetapi semua perempuan yang masih perawan boleh kamu ambil untukmu.
Spare only the girls who are virgins [EUP]. You can keep them to be your [wives or your slaves].
19 Dan kamu semua yang telah membunuh orang atau menyentuh mayat harus tinggal di luar perkemahan selama tujuh hari. Pada hari yang ketiga dan yang ketujuh kamu dan semua wanita yang kamu tawan itu harus melakukan upacara penyucian diri.
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 Setiap potong pakaian dan apa saja dari kulit, bulu kambing atau kayu, harus juga disucikan."
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 Kemudian Imam Eleazar berkata kepada orang-orang yang baru kembali dari pertempuran itu, "Inilah peraturan-peraturan yang diberikan TUHAN kepada Musa.
Then Eleazar said to the soldiers who had returned from the battle, “This is what Yahweh has instructed Moses:
22 Segala sesuatu yang tahan api, seperti emas, perak, tembaga, besi, timah putih dan timah hitam, harus disucikan dengan melalukannya dalam api. Kemudian barang-barang itu harus disucikan juga dengan air upacara penyucian supaya tidak najis lagi. Semua benda lainnya yang tidak tahan api harus disucikan dengan air upacara penyucian.
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].
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 Pada hari yang ketujuh kamu harus mencuci pakaianmu, barulah kamu tidak najis lagi, dan boleh masuk ke dalam perkemahan."
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 TUHAN berkata kepada Musa,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
26 "Engkau dan Imam Eleazar, bersama-sama dengan para pemimpin lainnya dari umat Israel, harus menghitung semua hasil rampasan, termasuk para tawanan dan hewan.
“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 Hasil rampasan itu harus kamu bagi dua yang sama banyaknya; sebagian untuk para prajurit yang telah pergi berperang, dan sebagian lagi untuk umat selebihnya.
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 Untuk pemberian khusus kepada Aku, TUHAN, dari bagian para prajurit itu harus kauambil satu dari setiap lima ratus--baik dari orang-orang tawanan, maupun dari sapi, keledai, domba dan kambing.
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 Serahkanlah itu kepada Imam Eleazar sebagai persembahan khusus untuk Aku, TUHAN.
Take these things to Eleazar to (be my share/belong to me).
30 Dari bagian yang diberikan kepada umat Israel, harus kauambil satu dari setiap lima puluh, baik dari orang-orang tawanan, maupun dari sapi, keledai, domba dan kambing. Serahkanlah semuanya itu kepada orang Lewi yang mengurus Kemah-Ku."
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 Musa dan Imam Eleazar melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
So Eleazar and Moses/I did what Yahweh commanded.
32 Selain yang sudah diambil para prajurit untuk mereka sendiri, hasil rampasan itu berjumlah: 675.000 ekor domba dan kambing, 72.000 ekor sapi, 61.000 ekor keledai dan 32.000 orang gadis perawan.
There were 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys, and 32,000 virgins that they had captured from the Midian people-group.
36 Separuh dari jumlah itu diberikan kepada para prajurit dengan perincian ini: 337.500 ekor domba dan kambing, dan dari jumlah itu 675 ekor untuk pemberian khusus bagi TUHAN; 36.000 ekor sapi, 72 ekor untuk pemberian khusus bagi TUHAN; 30.500 ekor keledai, 61 ekor untuk pemberian khusus bagi TUHAN; 16.000 orang gadis perawan, 32 orang untuk pemberian khusus bagi TUHAN.
The men who fought in the battle took 337,000 sheep [from the battle],
and they gave 675 of them to Yahweh.
They took 36,000 cattle and gave 72 of them to Yahweh.
They took 30,500 donkeys, and they gave 61 of them to Yahweh.
They took 16,000 virgins, and they dedicated 32 of them to Yahweh.
41 Lalu Musa menyerahkan pemberian khusus itu kepada Imam Eleazar untuk persembahan bagi TUHAN, seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN.
Moses/I gave to Eleazar all [the animals] that had been given to Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded.
42 Bagian untuk rakyat sama banyaknya dengan bagian untuk prajurit: 337.500 ekor domba dan kambing, 36.000 ekor sapi, 30.500 ekor keledai, dan 16.000 orang gadis perawan.
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,
47 Seperti yang diperintahkan TUHAN, Musa mengambil satu dari setiap lima puluh orang tawanan dan hewan, lalu menyerahkannya kepada orang-orang Lewi yang bertugas di Kemah TUHAN.
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 Kemudian para perwira yang telah memimpin tentara Israel, menghadap Musa
Then the army officers and those who commanded 1,000 men and those who commanded 100 men came to Moses/me.
49 dan melaporkan, "Tuan, kami sudah menghitung para prajurit bawahan kami. Ternyata jumlah mereka lengkap, tak seorang pun yang hilang.
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 Sebab itu kami membawa perhiasan-perhiasan emas, gelang tangan, gelang kaki, cincin, anting-anting dan kalung yang telah diambil oleh masing-masing. Semua ini kami serahkan kepada TUHAN sebagai persembahan kami, supaya Ia tetap melindungi kami."
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 Lalu Musa dan Imam Eleazar menerima emas itu, semuanya dalam bentuk perhiasan.
So Eleazar and Moses/I accepted the gold items that they brought.
52 Persembahan para perwira itu beratnya hampir dua ratus kilogram.
The total of it weighed about (420 pounds/190 kg.).
53 Tetapi prajurit-prajurit itu masing-masing telah mengambil hasil rampasan itu bagi mereka sendiri.
Each soldier had taken these things for himself.
54 Maka Musa dan Imam Eleazar membawa emas itu ke Kemah TUHAN supaya TUHAN melindungi bangsa Israel.
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].
