Okubala 31
1 Mukama Katonda n’agamba Musa nti,
And the LORD 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 of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered to 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 spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves for the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD 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 to the war, a thousand of [every] tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 Ne batabaala Midiyaani nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa, ne batta buli musajja.
And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they 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 rest of them that were slain; [namely], Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, 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 [all] the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 Baayokya ebibuga by’Abamidiyaani mwe baabeeranga, awamu n’ensiisira zaabwe zonna.
And they burnt all their cities in which they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11 Baatwala omunyago gwonna, nga mulimu n’abantu n’ensolo;
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [both] of men and of beasts.
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 to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] 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, [with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle.
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.
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD, in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
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 female children, that have not known a 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 do ye abide without the camp seven days: whoever hath killed any person, and whoever hath touched any slain, purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20 Mutukuze buli kyambalo ne buli kintu ekyakolebwa mu maliba, oba mu bwoya bw’embuzi oba mu muti.”
And purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood.
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 who went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22 Zaabu, ne ffeeza, n’ekikomo, n’ekyuma, n’ebbaati, n’essasi
Only 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.
Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make [it] go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not 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 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 the LORD 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, [both] of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers 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 them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between 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 to the LORD of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
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] to Eleazar the priest, [for] a heave-offering of the LORD.
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 beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them to the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
31 Bwe batyo Musa ne Eriyazaali bwe baakola, nga Mukama Katonda bwe yalagira Musa.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 Omunyago ogwasigalawo abatabaazi gwe beetwalira gwali bwe guti: Endiga, emitwalo nkaaga mu musanvu mu enkumi ttaano.
And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had taken, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 Ente, emitwalo musanvu mu enkumi bbiri.
And seventy two thousand beeves,
34 Endogoyi, emitwalo mukaaga mu lukumi,
And sixty one thousand asses,
35 n’abakazi abatamanyangako basajja emitwalo esatu mu enkumi bbiri.
And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of 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 seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37 ku ezo kwaliko ez’omusolo gwa Mukama Katonda lukaaga mu nsavu mu ttaano.
And the LORD'S tribute 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 beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] seventy two.
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 the LORD'S tribute [was] sixty 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 which the LORD'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] the LORD'S heave-offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD 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 from the men that warred,
43 ekitundu ekyo kyali bwe kiti: Endiga, emitwalo asatu mu esatu mu bitaano;
(Now the half [that pertained to] the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 Ente, emitwalo esatu mu kakaaga;
And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 Endogoyi, emitwalo esatu mu bitaano;
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
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 portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
48 Awo abakulembeze b’ebibinja mu ggye abaaduumiranga ebikumi n’abaaduumiranga enkumi, ne bajja eri Musa,
And the officers who [were] over thousands of the hosts, 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 [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.”
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath obtained of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, ear-rings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
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 offering that they offered to the LORD, 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 spoil, 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 tabernacle of the congregation, [for] a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
