Okubala 31
1 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “Woolera eggwanga ly’abaana ba Isirayiri ku Bamidiyaani, oluvannyuma olyoke ogende abantu bo bonna gye balaga.”
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
3 Awo Musa n’agamba abantu nti, “Muyungule okuva mu mmwe abasajja abalwanyi mubawe ebyokulwanyisa, beetegekere olutalo, batabaale Midiyaani bawoolere eggwanga lya Mukama Katonda ku Midiyaani.
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Jehovah’s vengeance on Midian.
4 Mu buli kika kya Isirayiri mujja kuggyamu abasajja lukumi abanaagenda okutabaala.”
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5 Awo ne baleeta okuva ku nkumi za Isirayiri abasajja lukumi okuva mu buli kika be balwanyi omutwalo gumu mu enkumi bbiri abeetegekera olutabaalo.
So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Musa n’abasindika mu lutalo, abalwanyi lukumi nga bava mu buli kika; ne Finekaasi mutabani wa Eriyazaali kabona, n’ebintu by’omu watukuvu n’amakondeere ag’okulwana ng’ali nago.
And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and 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 Ne batabaala Midiyaani nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa, ne batta buli musajja.
And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
8 Mu battibwa mwe mwagendera ne bakabaka ba Midiyaani bano abataano: Evi, ne Lekemu, ne Zuuli, ne Kuula, ne Leeba. Balamu mutabani wa Byoli naye baamuttiramu n’ekitala.
And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 Abaana ba Isirayiri ne bawamba abakazi ba Midiyaani n’abaana baabwe, ne banyaga ente n’ebisibo byabwe n’ebintu ebirala bingi.
And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
10 Baayokya ebibuga by’Abamidiyaani mwe baabeeranga, awamu n’ensiisira zaabwe zonna.
And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
11 Baatwala omunyago gwonna, nga mulimu n’abantu n’ensolo;
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
12 ne babireeta awali Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona n’ekibiina kyonna eky’abaana ba Isirayiri mu lusiisira lwabwe olwali mu nsenyi za Mowaabu eziri ku mugga Yoludaani okutunuulira emitala wa Yeriko.
And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
13 Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona n’abakulembeze mu kibiina bonna ne bagenda okusisinkana abatabaazi ebweru w’olusiisira.
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 Musa n’anyiigira abakulembeze b’eggye, abaduumizi b’ebikumi n’abaduumizi b’enkumi abaakomawo nga bava mu lutabaalo.
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
15 Musa n’ababuuza nti, “Abakazi bonna temubasse?
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 Mumanyi nga be baaleetera abaana ba Isirayiri okujeemera Mukama Katonda e Peoli bwe baakolera ku magezi Balamu ge yabawanga, kawumpuli amale alumbe ekibiina kya Mukama.
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Jehovah.
17 Kale nno mutte buli mulenzi mu baana abato, era mutte na buli mukazi eyali yeegasseeko n’omusajja.
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 Naye abawala abato abatamanyanga musajja, mubeeterekere.
But all the women-children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 “Musiisire ebweru w’olusiisira okumala ennaku musanvu. Buli omu mu mmwe eyatta omuntu yenna, n’oyo eyakwatako ku gwe basse, mwetukuze awamu n’abanyage bammwe ku lunaku olwokusatu ne ku lunaku olw’omusanvu.
And encamp ye without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.
20 Mutukuze buli kyambalo ne buli kintu ekyakolebwa mu maliba, oba mu bwoya bw’embuzi oba mu muti.”
And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ [hair], and all things made of wood, ye shall purify yourselves.
21 Awo Eriyazaali kabona n’agamba abasajja abaatabaala nti, “Lino lye tteeka Mukama Katonda ly’alagidde Musa:
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses:
22 Zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’ekikomo, n’ekyuma, n’ebbaati, n’essasi
howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 n’ekirala kyonna ekigumira omuliro mukiyise mu muliro kiryoke kibeere ekirongoofu. Naye era kisaana okulongoosebwa n’amazzi agalongoosa. Ebyo byonna ebitaasobole kuyita mu muliro biyisibwe mu mazzi ago.
everything that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.
24 Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu mwozanga engoye zammwe, mulyoke mubeere abalongoofu. Ebyo nga biwedde mulyoke muyingire mu lusiisira.”
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
26 “Ggwe ne Eriyazaali kabona, n’abakulembeze b’empya ez’omu kibiina mubale obungi bw’omunyago ogwaleetebwa omuli abantu n’ebisolo.
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ [houses] of the congregation;
27 Omunyago gugabanyeemu mu bitundu bibiri: eky’abatabaazi abaalwana olutalo n’ekyabaasigala mu kibiina.
and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation.
28 Munaggya ku basajja abaatabaala ekitundu kimu ku buli bikumi bitaano, nga gwe musolo gwa Mukama Katonda, oba bantu, oba nte, oba ndogoyi, oba ndiga oba mbuzi.
And levy a tribute unto Jehovah of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the flocks:
29 Omusolo ogwo mujja kuguggya ku kitundu ekya wakati ekinaagabanibwa abatabaazi mukiwe Eriyazaali kabona nga kye kitundu kya Mukama Katonda.
take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah’s heave-offering.
30 Ku munyago gw’abaana ba Isirayiri abasigaddewo munaggyako ekitundu kimu ku bitundu ataano, oba bantu, oba nte, oba ndogoyi, oba ndiga oba mbuzi oba ensolo endala zonna. Ebyo mujja kubiwa Abaleevi, abalabirira Weema ya Mukama.”
And of the children of Israel’s half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the flocks, [even] of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.
31 Bwe batyo Musa ne Eriyazaali bwe baakola, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah commanded Moses.
32 Omunyago ogwasigalawo abatabaazi gwe beetwalira gwali bwe guti: Endiga, emitwalo nkaaga mu musanvu mu enkumi ttaano.
Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 Ente, emitwalo musanvu mu enkumi bbiri.
and threescore and twelve thousand oxen,
34 Endogoyi, emitwalo mukaaga mu lukumi,
and threescore and one thousand asses,
35 n’abakazi abatamanyangako basajja emitwalo esatu mu enkumi bbiri.
and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
36 Ekitundu eky’omu makkati eky’omunyago eky’abo abaatabaala kyali bwe kiti: Endiga, obusiriivu busatu mu emitwalo esatu mu kasanvu mu bitaano;
And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep:
37 ku ezo kwaliko ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda lukaaga mu nsavu mu ttaano.
and Jehovah’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 Ente, emitwalo esatu mu kakaaga, ng’ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda nsanvu mu bbiri.
And the oxen were thirty and six thousand; of which Jehovah’s tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 Endogoyi, emitwalo esatu mu bitaano, ng’ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda zaali nkaaga mu emu.
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which Jehovah’s tribute was threescore and one.
40 Abantu omutwalo gumu mu kakaaga; ng’ab’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda baali amakumi asatu mu babiri.
And the persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Jehovah’s tribute was thirty and two persons.
41 Omusolo gwa Mukama, Musa n’aguwa Eriyazaali kabona, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
And Moses gave the tribute, which was Jehovah’s heave-offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
42 Ekitundu eky’omu makkati eky’omunyago ogwaweebwa abaana ba Isirayiri nga Musa amaze okuggyako ogw’abatabaazi abaalwana mu lutalo,
And of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred
43 ekitundu ekyo kyali bwe kiti: Endiga, emitwalo asatu mu esatu mu bitaano;
(now the congregation’s half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 Ente, emitwalo esatu mu kakaaga;
and thirty and six thousand oxen,
45 Endogoyi, emitwalo esatu mu bitaano;
and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
46 n’abantu omutwalo gumu mu kakaaga.
and sixteen thousand persons),
47 Ekitundu eky’omugabo eky’abaana ba Isirayiri, Musa n’aggyako ekitundu kimu ku buli bitundu ataano byombi eby’abantu n’eby’ebisolo, n’abiwa Abaleevi abaalabiriranga Weema ya Mukama, nga Mukama bwe yalagira Musa.
even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
48 Awo abakulembeze b’ebibinja mu ggye abaaduumiranga ebikumi n’abaaduumiranga enkumi, ne bajja eri Musa,
And the officers that were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses;
49 ne bamugamba nti, “Abaweereza bo tubaze abatabaazi bonna be tutwala, nga tewaliiwo n’omu abulawo.
and they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 Noolwekyo tuleetedde Mukama Katonda ekiweebwayo nga kya bintu ebya zaabu buli omu ku ffe bye yanyaga; mwe muli ebikomo eby’oku mikono, emikuufu egy’oku magulu, empeta z’oku ngalo n’empeta ez’omu matu n’obutiiti obw’omu bulago, twetangiririre mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.”
And we have brought Jehovah’s oblation, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle-chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah.
51 Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona, ne bakkiriza ebyaleetebwa omwali zaabu n’ebyomuwendo ebirala byonna.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
52 Zaabu yenna abaduumizi b’enkumi, n’abaduumizi b’ebikumi gwe baleeta eri Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona, okuwaayo eri Mukama Katonda, yali apima obuzito bwa kilo kikumi mu kyenda.
And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered up to Jehovah, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 Buli mutabaazi yali yeenyagiddeyo ebintu ebibye ku bubwe.
([For] the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)
54 Awo Musa ne Eriyazaali kabona ne baddira zaabu eyaleetebwa abaduumizi b’enkumi n’abaduumizi b’ebikumi, ne bamuleeta mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu, okubeeranga ekijjukizo eri abaana ba Isirayiri mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda.
And 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 Jehovah.
