Nomery 31
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
2 Ampamaleo fate amo nte-Midianeo o ana’ Israeleo. Ie heneke izay le hatontoñe am’ondati’oo irehe.
“Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianites—afterward you are gathered 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 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 Songa hañitrik’ arivo mb’amy aliy mb’eo ze fifokoa’ Israele.
one thousand for a tribe—you send one thousand for a tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
5 Aa le hene nanolotse arivo boak’ amy lahiale’ Israeley o fifokoañeo, rai-ale-tsi-ro’arivo reke-pialiañe.
And there are given out of the thousands of Israel one thousand for a tribe—twelve thousand armed ones [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 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 Tiname’ iareo t’i Midiane ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè vaho vinono ze hene atao lahilahy.
And they war against Midian, as YHWH has commanded Moses, and slay 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 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 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 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 fonga finorototo añ’ afo o rova nimoneña’ iareoo naho ze hene tobe’ iareo,
and they have burned all their cities, with their habitations, and all their towers, with fire.
11 le rinambe’ iareo ze dinohitse iaby naho ze fonga kinopake: ondaty naho hare.
And they take all the spoil and all the prey, among man and among 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 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 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 princes of the congregation, go out to meet them, to the outside of the camp,
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 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 Le hoe t’i Mosè am’ iereo: Hene nenga’ areo ho veloñe hao o ampelao?
And Moses says to them, “Have you kept 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.
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 Aa le fonga vonò ze lahilahy amo keleia’eo naho ze ampela fa niolots’ ama’ ondaty.
And now, slay every male among the infants, indeed, slay every woman knowing a man by the lying of a male;
18 Fe tano ho anahareo ze ampela mbe tsy niharo sarimbo ama’ ondaty.
and all the infants among the women who have not known the lying of a male you have kept alive for yourselves.
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, 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 Le liovo iaby ze sikiñe naho ze nanoeñe an’ angozy naho ze rinare am-bolon’ ose vaho ze raha an-katae.
and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work of goats’ [hair], and every wooden vessel, you yourselves cleanse.”
21 Le hoe t’i Elazare mpisoroñe amo lahin-defo niatreke i aliio: Zao ty fañèmpètse linili’ Iehovà i Mosè:
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 ze volamena naho volafoty naho torisìke naho viñe naho endraendra vaho firake—
only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
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.
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 Le ho sasà’ areo ami’ ty andro faha-fito ty siki’ areo vaho halio, ie heneke izay le mahazo mizilik’ an-tobe ao.
and you have washed your garments on the seventh day and have been clean, and afterward you come into the camp.”
25 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
26 Volilio, ihe naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho o talèn-droae’eo ze fonga raha kinopake: ondaty naho hare.
“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 Zarao roe o kinopakeo: ty raike ho amo nañavelo niatrek’ i aliio le ty raike ho amy valobohòkey.
and you have halved the prey between those handling the battle, who go out to the war, and all the 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 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 Rambeso ami’ty vaki’ iareo, vaho atoloro amy Elazare mpisoroñe ho engan-kavoañe am’ Iehovà.
you take from their half and have given [it] to Eleazar the priest [as] a raised-offering of YHWH.
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 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 Le nanoe’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe i nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosey.
And Moses does—Eleazar the priest also—as YHWH has commanded Moses.
32 Ty vara nisisa amy nikopahe’ o lahindefoñeoy le añondry enen-ketse-tsi-fito-ale-tsi-lime-arivo,
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 naho añombe fito-ale-tsi-ro’arivo,
and seventy-two thousand of the herd;
34 naho borìke eneñ’ ale-tsi-arivo,
and sixty-one thousand donkeys;
35 naho ondaty telo-ale-tsi-ro’ arivo: hene somondrara mboe tsy niolots’ ama’ ondaty.
and of mankind—of the women who have not known the lying of a male—all the persons [are] thirty-two thousand.
36 Ty vaki’e raike, ty anjara’ o niatre-kotakotakeo, le añondry naho ose telo-hetse-tsi-telo-ale-tsi-fito-arivo-tsi-liman-jato,
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 le o añondry naho ose nengaeñe am’Iehovào enenjato tsy-fitompolo-lim’ amby.
And the tribute to YHWH of the sheep is six hundred seventy-five;
38 Le telo-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty añombe, aa le fitom-polo-ro’ amby ty nengaeñe am’Iehovà;
and the herd [is] thirty-six thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] seventy-two;
39 telo-ale-tsi-liman-jato ty borìke vaho enempolo-raik’ amby ty nengaeñe am’ Iehovà;
and the donkeys [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to YHWH [is] sixty-one;
40 rai-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty ia’ondatio vaho telopolo-ro’amby ty nengaeñe am’ Iehovà.
and of mankind [are] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to YHWH [is] thirty-two persons.
41 Aa le natolo’ i Mosè amy Elazare mpisoroñe ty anjara’ Iehovà, ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè.
And Moses gives the tribute—YHWH’s raised-offering—to Eleazar the priest, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
42 Aa naho ty vaki’ i valobohòke navi’ i Mosè ami’ty anjara’ o lahindefoñeoy;
And of the sons of Israel’s half, which Moses halved from the men who war—
43 ty vaki’ i valobohòkey telo-hetse-tsi-telo-ale-tsi-fito-arivo-tsi-liman-jato añondry naho ose,
and the congregation’s half is three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred of the flock;
44 le telo-ale-tsi-eneñ’arivo ty añombe,
and thirty-six thousand of the herd;
45 naho telo-ale-tsi-liman-jato ty borìke,
and thirty thousand and five hundred donkeys;
46 vaho rai-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty ia’ondatio.
and sixteen thousand of mankind—
47 Amy vaki’ o ana’ Israeleo, le nangala’ i Mosè raik’ ami’ty limampolo, ondaty naho hare, le natolo’e amo nte-Levio—o mpiatrake i kivoho’ Iehovào amy nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosèy.
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 Niheo amy Mosè mb’eo amy zao o mpiaolo nifehe o arivo nialio, toe o mpifelek’ arivoo naho o mpifehe zatoo;
And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host have (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near to Moses,
49 le nanao ty hoe amy Mosè: Fa niahe’ o mpitoro’oo o lahindefo nifelehe’aio, leo raike tsy nipoke.
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 Aa le mañenga ravoravo am’ Iehovà zahay, ze niazo’ ondatio ke ravake volamena ke vangovango ke tsiandetse ke bange fitomboke ke kiviro he ètse, ho fijebañañe añatrefa’ Iehovà.
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 Rinambe’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe am’ iereo o volamenao naho o bangeo vaho ze hene bijo,
And Moses receives—Eleazar the priest also—the gold from them, every vessel of workmanship;
52 le ty tontom-bolamena nengae’ iareo ho am’ Iehovà, boak’ amo mpifelek’ arivoo vaho o mpifehe zatoo: rai-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo-tsi-fitonjato-tsi-limampolo sekele,
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 amy te songa nikopake ho am-bata’e o lahindefoñeo.
(the men of the host have each taken spoil for himself);
54 Aa le rinambe’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe amo mpifelek’ arivo naho zatoo i volamenay, vaho nendese’ iereo am-po’ i kibohom-pamantañañey ho fitiahiañe o ana’ Israeleo añatrefa’ Iehovà.
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.
