Okubala 31
1 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Woolera eggwanga ly’abaana ba Isirayiri ku Bamidiyaani, oluvannyuma olyoke ogende abantu bo bonna gye balaga.”
Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.
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 spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian.
4 Mu buli kika kya Isirayiri mujja kuggyamu abasajja lukumi abanaagenda okutabaala.”
Of every tribe a thousand, of 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.
And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by 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 to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand.
7 Ne batabaala Midiyaani nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa, ne batta buli musajja.
And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males.
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, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam 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 the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods;
10 Baayokya ebibuga by’Abamidiyaani mwe baabeeranga, awamu n’ensiisira zaabwe zonna.
and all their cities in their settlements and all their encampments they burned with fire.
11 Baatwala omunyago gwonna, nga mulimu n’abantu n’ensolo;
And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle;
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 to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan of 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 assembly went forth to meet them outside 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 army, with the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war;
15 Musa n’ababuuza nti, “Abakazi bonna temubasse?
and Moses said to 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.
Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah.
17 Kale nno mutte buli mulenzi mu baana abato, era mutte na buli mukazi eyali yeegasseeko n’omusajja.
And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him,
18 Naye abawala abato abatamanyanga musajja, mubeeterekere.
but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, 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 outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
20 Mutukuze buli kyambalo ne buli kintu ekyakolebwa mu maliba, oba mu bwoya bw’embuzi oba mu muti.”
And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.
21 Awo Eriyazaali kabona n’agamba abasajja abaatabaala nti, “Lino lye tteeka Mukama Katonda ly’alagidde Musa:
And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had gone 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
Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, 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 passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make 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 garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.
25 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And Jehovah spoke to 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, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly;
27 Omunyago gugabanyeemu mu bitundu bibiri: eky’abatabaazi abaalwana olutalo n’ekyabaasigala mu kibiina.
and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly.
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 thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle.
29 Omusolo ogwo mujja kuguggya ku kitundu ekya wakati ekinaagabanibwa abatabaazi mukiwe Eriyazaali kabona nga kye kitundu kya Mukama Katonda.
Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah.
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 portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the small cattle, of every [kind of] beasts, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, who 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 had commanded Moses.
32 Omunyago ogwasigalawo abatabaazi gwe beetwalira gwali bwe guti: Endiga, emitwalo nkaaga mu musanvu mu enkumi ttaano.
And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 Ente, emitwalo musanvu mu enkumi bbiri.
and seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 Endogoyi, emitwalo mukaaga mu lukumi,
and sixty-one thousand asses,
35 n’abakazi abatamanyangako basajja emitwalo esatu mu enkumi bbiri.
and of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
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, the portion of them that had gone out to the war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
37 ku ezo kwaliko ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda lukaaga mu nsavu mu ttaano.
and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;
38 Ente, emitwalo esatu mu kakaaga, ng’ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda nsanvu mu bbiri.
and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;
39 Endogoyi, emitwalo esatu mu bitaano, ng’ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda zaali nkaaga mu emu.
and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;
40 Abantu omutwalo gumu mu kakaaga; ng’ab’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda baali amakumi asatu mu babiri.
and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.
41 Omusolo gwa Mukama, Musa n’aguwa Eriyazaali kabona, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had 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 had divided, [taking it] from the men that served in the war,
43 ekitundu ekyo kyali bwe kiti: Endiga, emitwalo asatu mu esatu mu bitaano;
(now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred,
44 Ente, emitwalo esatu mu kakaaga;
and thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 Endogoyi, emitwalo esatu mu bitaano;
and thirty thousand five hundred asses,
46 n’abantu omutwalo gumu mu kakaaga.
and sixteen thousand human 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.
...of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
48 Awo abakulembeze b’ebibinja mu ggye abaaduumiranga ebikumi n’abaaduumiranga enkumi, ne bajja eri Musa,
And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,
49 ne bamugamba nti, “Abaweereza bo tubaze abatabaazi bonna be tutwala, nga tewaliiwo n’omu abulawo.
and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one man of us lacking.
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.”
So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, 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, all manner of 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 to Jehovah was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
53 Buli mutabaazi yali yeenyagiddeyo ebintu ebibye ku bubwe.
(The men of war had taken spoil each one 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, as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.
