Nomery 31
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 Valio ny Midianita noho ny nataony tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hangonina any amin’ ny razanao ianao.
“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
3 Dia niteny tamin’ ny olona Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Miomàna ho any an-tafika ny sasany aminareo, ary aoka izy hanafika ny Midianita, hahatanteraka ny famalian’ i Jehovah azy.
So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.
4 Arivo lahy avy isam-pirenena amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely no hampandehaninareo ho any an-tafika.
Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”
5 Dia navahana tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely ny arivo isam-pirenena, dia roa arivo amby iray alina, samy voaomana hiady.
So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Ary nampandehanin’ i Mosesy ho any an-tafika ireo arivo lahy isam-pirenena ireo sy Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara mpisorona, izay nitondra ny fanaka masìna teny an-tànany, dia ny trompetra avo feo.
And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
7 Dia niady tamin’ ny Midianita ireo, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy; ary namono ny lehilahy rehetra izy
Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
8 ary ny mpanjakan’ i Midiana dimy lahy dia matiny niaraka tamin’ ireny koa, dia Evy sy Rekema sy Zora sy Hora ary Reba; ary Balama, zanak’ i Beora, koa dia novonoiny tamin’ ny sabatra.
Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
9 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely namabo ny vehivavy Midianita sy ny zanany madinika; ary nobaboiny avokoa ny biby fiompiny rehetra sy ny omby aman’ ondriny rehetra ary ny fananany rehetra.
The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.
10 Ary ny tanànany rehetra izay teo amin’ ny fonenany sy ny tobiny rehetra dia nodorany tamin’ ny afo.
Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,
11 Ary nalainy avokoa ny babo rehetra, na olona na biby fiompy,
and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.
12 dia nentiny tany amin’ i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona ary ny fiangonan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely teo an-toby, teo Arbota-moaba, izay eo amoron’ i Jordana tandrifin’ i Jeriko.
They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
13 Ary Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona ary ny lohan’ ny fiangonana rehetra nivoaka hitsena azy teo ivelan’ ny toby.
And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
14 Ary tezitra tamin’ ny mpifehy ny miaramila Mosesy, dia tamin’ ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato, izay avy tany an-tafika,
But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.
15 ka hoy izy taminy: Nahoana no novelominareo ny vehivavy rehetra?
“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.
16 Ireo ihany no nampahadiso ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Peora, araka ny tenin’ i Balama, ka nahazo ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah ny areti-mandringana.
“Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.
17 Koa ankehitriny, vonoy ny zazalahy madinika rehetra, ary vonoy koa ny vehivavy rehetra izay efa nahalala lahy.
So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,
18 Fa ny zazavavy rehetra izay tsy mbola nahalala lahy dia velomy ho anareo.
but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
19 Ary mitobia eo ivelan’ ny toby hafitoana; ary izay nahafaty olona na nikasika faty dia samia manadio ny tenany, na ianareo, na ny sambotrareo amin’ ny andro fahatelo sy ny andro fahafito.
All of you who have killed a person or touched the dead are to remain outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and the seventh day you are to purify both yourselves and your captives.
20 Ary ny fitafiana rehetra, na ny fanaka hoditra, na ny fanaka volon’ osy, na ny fanaka hazo, dia diovy avokoa.
And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”
21 Ary hoy Eleazara mpisorona tamin’ ny mpanafika, izay efa tany amin’ ny ady: Izao no lalàna hotandremana, izay nandidian’ i Jehovah’ an i Mosesy:
Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:
22 Ny volamena sy ny volafotsy sy ny varahina sy ny vy sy ny vifotsy ary ny firaka,
Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
23 dia ny zavatra rehetra izay maharitra afo, dia ataovy ao amin’ ny afo, dia hadio, kanefa hodiovina amin’ ny rano fanadiovana koa izy; ary izay rehetra tsy maharitra afo kosa dia ataovy ao amin’ ny rano ihany.
everything that can withstand the fire—must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.
24 Ary sasao ny fitafianareo amin’ ny andro fahafito, dia hadio ianareo; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia mahazo miditra eo amin’ ny toby ianareo.
On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”
25 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
The LORD said to Moses,
26 Alaonao sy Eleazara mpisorona sy ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana amin’ ny fiangonana ny isan’ ny babo izay azo, na olona, na biby fiompy;
“You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count of what was captured, both of man and beast.
27 ary sasaho ny babo ho an’ izay niady, dia izay efa tany an-tafika, sy ho an’ ny fiangonana rehetra;
Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to battle and the rest of the congregation.
28 kanefa makà anjara ho an’ i Jehovah avy amin’ ny mpanafika izay nivoaka ho any an-tafika, dia iray isan-diman-jato, na olona, na omby, na boriky, na ondry aman’ osy;
Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers who went into battle: one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.
29 ny antsasany izay azy no hanalanao izany ka homenao an’ i Eleazara mpisorona ho fanatitra alaina ho an’ i Jehovah.
Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
30 Ary ny antsasany an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely kosa dia analao iray isan-dimam-polo, na olona, na omby, na boriky, na ondry aman’ osy, dia ny biby fiompy rehetra, ka omeo ho an’ ny Levita, izay mitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momba ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah.
From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”
31 Dia nataon’ i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona izany, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,
32 Ary ny babo sisa afa-tsy izay azon’ ny mpanafika, dia ondry aman’ osy dimy arivo amby fito alina sy enina hetsy,
and this plunder remained from the spoils the soldiers had taken: 675,000 sheep,
33 sy omby roa arivo amby fito alina,
72,000 cattle,
34 sy boriky arivo amby enina alina,
61,000 donkeys,
35 ary olona, dia ny zazavavy izay tsy mbola nahalala lahy, roa arivo amby telo alina.
and 32,000 women who had not slept with a man.
36 Ary ny antsasany izay anjaran’ ny efa tany an-tafika dia izao: ny isan’ ny ondry aman’ osy dia diman-jato amby fito arivo sy telo alina sy telo hetsy;
This was the half portion for those who had gone to war: 337,500 sheep,
37 ary ny anjaran’ i Jehovah avy tamin’ ny ondry aman’ osy dia dimy amby fito-polo sy enin-jato.
including a tribute to the LORD of 675,
38 Ary ny omby dia enina arivo amby telo alina; ary ny anjaran’ i Jehovah avy tamin’ ireo dia roa amby fito-polo.
36,000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,
39 Ary ny boriky dia diman-jato amby telo alina; ary ny anjaran’ i Jehovah avy tamin’ ireo dia iraika amby enim-polo.
30,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,
40 Ary ny zazavavy dia enina arivo amby iray alina; ary ny anjaran’ i Jehovah avy tamin’ ireo dia roa amby telo-polo.
and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.
41 Dia nomen’ i Mosesy an’ i Eleazara mpisorona ny anjara izay nalaina ho an’ i Jehovah, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
42 Ary avy tamin’ ny antsasany an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay nozarain’ i Mosesy avy tamin’ ny mpanafika
From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,
43 (fa ny antsasany an’ ny fiangonana dia ondry aman’ osy dimanjato amby fito arivo sy telo alina sy telo hetsy,
this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,
44 sy omby enina arivo amby telo alina,
36,000 cattle,
45 sy boriky diman-jato amby telo alina,
30,500 donkeys,
46 ary olona enina arivo amby iray alina),
and 16,000 people.
47 ny antsasany an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely dia nanalan’ i Mosesy iray isan-dimam-polo, na olona, na biby fiompy, ka nomeny ho an’ ny Levita mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momha ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah izany, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.
48 Ary ny mpifehy, izay nifehy ny miaramila, dia ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato, dia nanatona an’ i Mosesy
Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses
49 ka nanao taminy hoe: Ny mpanomponao efa naka ny isan’ ny mpanafika izay nofehezinay, ka tsy misy diso isa aminay na dia lehilahy iray akory aza;
and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.
50 koa nitondra fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah izahay, dia ny firavaka volamena efa azonay avy, dia fehin-tanana sy haba sy peratra fanombohan-kase sy kavina ary voavola, hanaovana fanavotana ho an’ ny ainay eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”
51 Dia noraisin’ i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona taminy ny volamena, dia firavaka voatefy avokoa.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
52 Ary ny volamena rehetra tamin’ ny fanatitra nalain’ ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato ho an’ i Jehovah, dia sekely dimam-polo amby fiton-jato sy enina arivo sy iray alina
All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.
53 (fa ny mpanafika samy namabo ho an’ ny tenany).
Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.
54 Dia noraisin’ i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona ny volamena nomen’ ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato ka nentiny tao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ho fahatsiarovana ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.
