Nomery 31
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Ampamaleo fate amo nte-Midianeo o ana’ Israeleo. Ie heneke izay le hatontoñe am’ondati’oo irehe.
Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards you shall be added to your people.
3 Aa le nisaontsy am’ ondatio t’i Mosè nanao ty hoe: Ampidiaño ty ila’e ama’ areo hialy, vaho iraho haname o nte-Midianeo hamale i Midiane ty am’ Iehovà.
And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord.
4 Songa hañitrik’ arivo mb’amy aliy mb’eo ze fifokoa’ Israele.
Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array.
5 Aa le hene nanolotse arivo boak’ amy lahiale’ Israeley o fifokoañeo, rai-ale-tsi-ro’arivo reke-pialiañe.
And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war.
6 Le nampionjone’ i Mosè mb’ añ’aly mb’eo kiarivo-kiarivo’ o fifokoañeo; le nampindreze’e am’ iereo t’i Pinekàse ana’ i Elazàre ninday o fanake miavakeo naho o antsiva fikoihañeo am-pità’e.
And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands.
7 Tiname’ iareo t’i Midiane ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè vaho vinono ze hene atao lahilahy.
And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they killed every male.
8 Fonga naharo vono am’ iereo o mpanjaka’ i Midianeo: i Evý, naho i Rèkeme naho i Tsore naho i Kòre vaho i Rèba; i mpanjaka’ i Midiane lime rey vaho vinono am-pibara ka t’i Balame ana’i Beore.
And they killed the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they killed with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain.
9 Le kinopa’ o ana’ Israeleo ze hene rakemba naho o keleia’ o nte-Midianeoo, naho hene kinopa’ iareo o añombeo naho o mpirai-lia’eo naho o vara’eo;
And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces.
10 fonga finorototo añ’ afo o rova nimoneña’ iareoo naho ze hene tobe’ iareo,
And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation and they burnt their villages with fire.
11 le rinambe’ iareo ze dinohitse iaby naho ze fonga kinopake: ondaty naho hare.
And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast.
12 Nendese’ iareo mb’ amy Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho i valobohò’ Israeley mb’eo ondaty iabio naho o varao vaho ze raha kinopake mb’ an-tobe a montombei’ i Moabe aolo’ Iardeney tandrife Ieriko mb’eo.
And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho.
13 Niavotse amy zao t’i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho o talè’ i valobohòkeio hifanalaka am’ iereo alafe’ i tobey.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them.
14 Fe niviñera’ i Mosè o mpiaolo’ o lahindefoñeoo, naho i mpifelek’ arivo rey, naho i mpifehe ki-zato rey, o niboak’ amy hotakotakeio.
And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of thousands and the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array.
15 Le hoe t’i Mosè am’ iereo: Hene nenga’ areo ho veloñe hao o ampelao?
And Moses said to them, Why have you saved every female alive?
16 Inao, ie ty nampiola o ana’ Israeleo amy Iehovà ie nikililie’ i Balame amy raha e Peorey, vaho nametsahañe angorosy ty valobohò’ Iehovà.
For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord.
17 Aa le fonga vonò ze lahilahy amo keleia’eo naho ze ampela fa niolots’ ama’ ondaty.
Now then kill every male in all the spoil, kill every woman, who has known the lying with man.
18 Fe tano ho anahareo ze ampela mbe tsy niharo sarimbo ama’ ondaty.
And as for all the captivity of women, who have not known the lying with man, save you them alive.
19 Le ie namono ondaty ndra nitsapa ty vinono ro mitoboha alafe’ i tobey fito andro; miefera vatañe ami’ty andro faha-telo naho ami’ ty andro faha-fito; inahareo naho o finao’ areoo.
And you shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third day, and you and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on the seventh day.
20 Le liovo iaby ze sikiñe naho ze nanoeñe an’ angozy naho ze rinare am-bolon’ ose vaho ze raha an-katae.
And you shall purify every garment and every leather utensil, and all furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel.
21 Le hoe t’i Elazare mpisoroñe amo lahin-defo niatreke i aliio: Zao ty fañèmpètse linili’ Iehovà i Mosè:
And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses.
22 ze volamena naho volafoty naho torisìke naho viñe naho endraendra vaho firake—
Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin,
23 ze raha mete asitrik’ añ’afo avao—ro hampisorohe’ areo añ’afo, le halio, f’ie mbe heferañe an-dranom-pañeferañe. Le ze raha tsy mahaleo afo ro hampisoroheñe rano.
every thing that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water.
24 Le ho sasà’ areo ami’ ty andro faha-fito ty siki’ areo vaho halio, ie heneke izay le mahazo mizilik’ an-tobe ao.
And on the seventh day you shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards you shall come into the camp.
25 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
26 Volilio, ihe naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho o talèn-droae’eo ze fonga raha kinopake: ondaty naho hare.
Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation.
27 Zarao roe o kinopakeo: ty raike ho amo nañavelo niatrek’ i aliio le ty raike ho amy valobohòkey.
And you shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation.
28 Le ampandivao o lahindefoñe niatre-kotakotakeo ty raik’ ami’ ty liman-jato ho enga am’ Iehovà, ke t’ie ondaty, he te añombe, ke borìke he añondry, hera ose.
And you shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and you shall take from their half.
29 Rambeso ami’ty vaki’ iareo, vaho atoloro amy Elazare mpisoroñe ho engan-kavoañe am’ Iehovà.
And you shall give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first fruits of the Lord.
30 Le ampandivao ami’ty anjara’ o ana’ Israeleo ka ty raik’ ami’ty limampolo’ ze ondaty naho añombe naho borìke naho añondry naho ze hare iaby vaho atoloro amo nte-Levy mpiatrake i kivoho’ Iehovàio.
And from the half belonging to the children of Israel you shall take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and you shall give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.
31 Le nanoe’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe i nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosey.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.

and oxen, seventy-two thousand:
34 naho borìke eneñ’ ale-tsi-arivo,

35 naho ondaty telo-ale-tsi-ro’ arivo: hene somondrara mboe tsy niolots’ ama’ ondaty.
And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand.

And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.

And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses;

from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war.

And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the fifties part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
