Nomery 31
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 Valio ny Midianita noho ny nataony tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hangonina any amin’ ny razanao ianao.
“Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites—afterward you are 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.
And Moses speaks to the people, saying, “Arm men from [among] you for the war, and they are against Midian, to put the vengeance of YHWH on Midian;
4 Arivo lahy avy isam-pirenena amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely no hampandehaninareo ho any an-tafika.
one thousand for a tribe—you send one thousand for a tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
5 Dia navahana tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely ny arivo isam-pirenena, dia roa arivo amby iray alina, samy voaomana hiady.
And there are given out of the thousands of Israel one thousand for a tribe—twelve thousand armed ones [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 sends them, one thousand for a tribe, to the war; [he sent] them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets of shouting in his hand.
7 Dia niady tamin’ ny Midianita ireo, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy; ary namono ny lehilahy rehetra izy
And they war against Midian, as YHWH has commanded Moses, and slay 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.
and they have slain the kings of Midian besides their pierced ones: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba—five kings of Midian; and they have slain 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.
And the sons of Israel take the women of Midian and their infants captive; and they have plundered all their livestock, and all their substance, and all their wealth;
10 Ary ny tanànany rehetra izay teo amin’ ny fonenany sy ny tobiny rehetra dia nodorany tamin’ ny afo.
and they have burned all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, with fire.
11 Ary nalainy avokoa ny babo rehetra, na olona na biby fiompy,
And they take all the spoil and all the prey, among man and among beast;
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.
and they bring in the captives, and the prey, and the spoil to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the sons of Israel, to the camp, to the plains of Moab, which [are] by the Jordan, [near] Jericho.
13 Ary Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona ary ny lohan’ ny fiangonana rehetra nivoaka hitsena azy teo ivelan’ ny toby.
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, go out to meet them, to the outside of 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,
and Moses is angry against the inspectors of the force, chiefs of the thousands, and chiefs of the hundreds, who are coming in from the warfare of battle.
15 ka hoy izy taminy: Nahoana no novelominareo ny vehivavy rehetra?
And Moses says to them, “Have you kept every female alive?
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.
Behold, they have been to the sons of Israel, through the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against YHWH in the matter of Peor, and the plague is in the congregation of YHWH.
17 Koa ankehitriny, vonoy ny zazalahy madinika rehetra, ary vonoy koa ny vehivavy rehetra izay efa nahalala lahy.
And now, slay every male among the infants, indeed, slay every woman knowing a man by the lying of a male;
18 Fa ny zazavavy rehetra izay tsy mbola nahalala lahy dia velomy ho anareo.
and all the infants among the women who have not known the lying of a male you have kept alive for yourselves.
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.
And you, encamp at the outside of the camp [for] seven days; any who has slain a person, and any who has come against a pierced one, cleanse yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day—you 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 every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats’ [hair], and every wooden vessel, you yourselves cleanse.”
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:
And Eleazar the priest says to the men of war who go to battle, “This [is] the statute of the law which YHWH has commanded Moses:
22 Ny volamena sy ny volafotsy sy ny varahina sy ny vy sy ny vifotsy ary ny firaka,
only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the 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 which may go into fire, you cause to pass over through fire, and it has been clean; it is surely cleansed with the water of separation; and all that may not go into fire, you cause to pass over through 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.
and you have washed your garments on the seventh day and have been clean, and afterward you come into the camp.”
25 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
26 Alaonao sy Eleazara mpisorona sy ny lohan’ ny fianakaviana amin’ ny fiangonana ny isan’ ny babo izay azo, na olona, na biby fiompy;
“Take up the sum of the prey of the captives, among man and among beast, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers of the congregation;
27 ary sasaho ny babo ho an’ izay niady, dia izay efa tany an-tafika, sy ho an’ ny fiangonana rehetra;
and you have halved the prey between those handling the battle, who go out to the war, and all 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;
and you have raised a tribute to YHWH from the men of battle, who go out to the war, one body out of five hundred, of man, and of the herd, and of the donkeys, and of the flock;
29 ny antsasany izay azy no hanalanao izany ka homenao an’ i Eleazara mpisorona ho fanatitra alaina ho an’ i Jehovah.
you take from their half and have given [it] to Eleazar the priest [as] a raised-offering of YHWH.
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.
And from the sons of Israel’s half you take one possession out of fifty, of man, of the herd, of the donkeys, and of the flock, of all the livestock, and you have given them to the Levites keeping the charge of the Dwelling Place of YHWH.”
31 Dia nataon’ i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona izany, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
And Moses does—Eleazar the priest also—as YHWH has 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 the prey, the remainder of the spoil which the people of the host have spoiled, is six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand of the flock;
33 sy omby roa arivo amby fito alina,
and seventy-two thousand of the herd;
34 sy boriky arivo amby enina alina,
and sixty-one thousand donkeys;
35 ary olona, dia ny zazavavy izay tsy mbola nahalala lahy, roa arivo amby telo alina.
and of mankind—of the women who have not known the lying of a male—all the persons [are] thirty-two thousand.
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;
And the half, the portion of those who go out into the war, is [in] number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred of the flock.
37 ary ny anjaran’ i Jehovah avy tamin’ ny ondry aman’ osy dia dimy amby fito-polo sy enin-jato.
And the tribute to YHWH of the sheep is six hundred seventy-five;
38 Ary ny omby dia enina arivo amby telo alina; ary ny anjaran’ i Jehovah avy tamin’ ireo dia roa amby fito-polo.
and the herd [is] thirty-six thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] seventy-two;
39 Ary ny boriky dia diman-jato amby telo alina; ary ny anjaran’ i Jehovah avy tamin’ ireo dia iraika amby enim-polo.
and the donkeys [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to YHWH [is] sixty-one;
40 Ary ny zazavavy dia enina arivo amby iray alina; ary ny anjaran’ i Jehovah avy tamin’ ireo dia roa amby telo-polo.
and of mankind [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] thirty-two persons.
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.
And Moses gives the tribute—YHWH’s raised-offering—to Eleazar the priest, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
42 Ary avy tamin’ ny antsasany an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay nozarain’ i Mosesy avy tamin’ ny mpanafika
And of the sons of Israel’s half, which Moses halved from the men who war—
43 (fa ny antsasany an’ ny fiangonana dia ondry aman’ osy dimanjato amby fito arivo sy telo alina sy telo hetsy,
and the congregation’s half is three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred of the flock;
44 sy omby enina arivo amby telo alina,
and thirty-six thousand of the herd;
45 sy boriky diman-jato amby telo alina,
and thirty thousand and five hundred donkeys;
46 ary olona enina arivo amby iray alina),
and sixteen thousand of mankind—
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.
Moses takes from the sons of Israel’s half one possession from the fifty, of man and of beast, and gives them to the Levites keeping the charge of the Dwelling Place of YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
48 Ary ny mpifehy, izay nifehy ny miaramila, dia ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato, dia nanatona an’ i Mosesy
And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host have (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near to 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 they say to Moses, “Your servants have taken up the sum of the men of war who [are] with us, and not a man of us has been missed;
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.
and we bring YHWH’s offering near, each of that which he has found of vessels of gold—chain, and bracelet, seal-ring, [ear]-ring, and bead—to make atonement for ourselves before YHWH.”
51 Dia noraisin’ i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona taminy ny volamena, dia firavaka voatefy avokoa.
And Moses receives—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from them, every vessel of workmanship;
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
and all the gold of the raised-offering which they have lifted up to YHWH is sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands and from heads of the hundreds;
53 (fa ny mpanafika samy namabo ho an’ ny tenany).
(the men of the host have each taken spoil 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 takes—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they bring it into the Tent of Meeting [as] a memorial for the sons of Israel before YHWH.
