Nomery 31
1 Hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 Ampamaleo fate amo nte-Midianeo o ana’ Israeleo. Ie heneke izay le hatontoñe am’ondati’oo irehe.
Exact thou the avenging of the sons of Israel, from the Midianites, —and, afterwards, shalt thou be withdrawn unto thy kinsfolk.
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.
So Moses spake unto the people saying, Arm ye from among you men, for the war, and let them go against Midian, to render the avenging of Yahweh upon Midian.
4 Songa hañitrik’ arivo mb’amy aliy mb’eo ze fifokoa’ Israele.
A thousand from each tribe, —of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send forth unto the war.
5 Aa le hene nanolotse arivo boak’ amy lahiale’ Israeley o fifokoañeo, rai-ale-tsi-ro’arivo reke-pialiañe.
And there volunteered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of each tribe, —twelve thousand, 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 a thousand of each tribe to the war, —them, and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary, and the alarm trumpets, in his hand.
7 Tiname’ iareo t’i Midiane ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè vaho vinono ze hene atao lahilahy.
So they made war upon Midian, as Yahweh had commanded Moses, and slew 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 the kings of Midian, slew they besides their other slain namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian, —Balaam also, son of Beor, slew they 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 took captive the women of Midian and their little ones, —all their cattle also and all their flocks and all their substance, carried they off as a prey;
10 fonga finorototo añ’ afo o rova nimoneña’ iareoo naho ze hene tobe’ iareo,
all their cities also in their sites, and all their encampments, burned they up with fire.
11 le rinambe’ iareo ze dinohitse iaby naho ze fonga kinopake: ondaty naho hare.
Then took they all the spoil, and all the booty, —both of 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 brought in unto Moses and unto Eleazar the priest and unto the assembly of the sons of Israel—the captives and the booty, and the spoil unto the camp, —unto the waste plains of Moab, which are by 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 assembly, went forth to meet them, —unto 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.
Then was Moses sore displeased with the officers of the force, —the princes of thousands, and the princes of hundreds who were coming in from the warring host.
15 Le hoe t’i Mosè am’ iereo: Hene nenga’ areo ho veloñe hao o ampelao?
And Moses said unto them, —Have ye saved alive every female?
16 Inao, ie ty nampiola o ana’ Israeleo amy Iehovà ie nikililie’ i Balame amy raha e Peorey, vaho nametsahañe angorosy ty valobohò’ Iehovà.
Lo! they, became unto the sons of Israel, by the advice of Balaam, the cause of daring acts of treachery against Yahweh, over the affair of Peor, —and then came the plague against the assembly of Yahweh!
17 Aa le fonga vonò ze lahilahy amo keleia’eo naho ze ampela fa niolots’ ama’ ondaty.
Now, therefore, slay ye every male among the young, —every woman also that hath cohabited with man, slay ye.
18 Fe tano ho anahareo ze ampela mbe tsy niharo sarimbo ama’ ondaty.
But all the young of womankind that have, not cohabited with man, preserve 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.
Ye, then, pitch outside the camp, for seven days, —whosoever hath killed a person and whoever hath touched the slain, cleanse yourselves (from sin) on the third day and on the seventh day ye 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.
Every garment also, and every article of skin and every thing made of goat’s-hair, and every article of wood, shall ye cleanse (from sin).
21 Le hoe t’i Elazare mpisoroñe amo lahin-defo niatreke i aliio: Zao ty fañèmpètse linili’ Iehovà i Mosè:
Then said Eleazar the priest unto the men of the host, who had been to the war: This, is the statute of the law, which Yahweh hath commanded Moses:
22 ze volamena naho volafoty naho torisìke naho viñe naho endraendra vaho firake—
Surely 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.
whatsoever thing can go into fire, ye shall pass through fire and it shall be clean, only with the water of separation, shall ye cleanse it (from sin). But whatsoever cannot go into fire, ye 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 ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and be clean, —and after-wards, shall ye come into the camp.
25 Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè:
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
26 Volilio, ihe naho i Elazare mpisoroñe naho o talèn-droae’eo ze fonga raha kinopake: ondaty naho hare.
Reckon thou up the sum of the booty that was captured, both of man and of beast, —thou and Eleazar the priest, and the ancestral heads of the assembly;
27 Zarao roe o kinopakeo: ty raike ho amo nañavelo niatrek’ i aliio le ty raike ho amy valobohòkey.
and divide the booty into two parts, between them who took upon them the war, who went out in the host, —and all the [rest of the] assembly.
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.
Then shalt thou levy a tribute unto Yahweh—from the men of war, who went forth in the host, one living thing, out of five hundred, —of the human beings, and of the herd, and of the asses and of the flock:
29 Rambeso ami’ty vaki’ iareo, vaho atoloro amy Elazare mpisoroñe ho engan-kavoañe am’ Iehovà.
out of their half, shall ye take [them], —and thou shall give [them] unto Eleazar the priest as a heave-offering unto Yahweh.
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 out of the half allotted to the sons of Israel, shalt thou take one allotted portion out of fifty of the human beings, of the herd, of the asses and of the flock of all the cattle, —and shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the habitation of Yahweh.
31 Le nanoe’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe i nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosey.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
32 Ty vara nisisa amy nikopahe’ o lahindefoñeoy le añondry enen-ketse-tsi-fito-ale-tsi-lime-arivo,
And it came to pass that the booty, over and above the prey which the people of the host had seized, was, —of the flock, six hundred and seventy-five thousand;
33 naho añombe fito-ale-tsi-ro’arivo,
and, of the herd, seventy-two thousand;
34 naho borìke eneñ’ ale-tsi-arivo,
and, of the asses, sixty-one thousand;
35 naho ondaty telo-ale-tsi-ro’ arivo: hene somondrara mboe tsy niolots’ ama’ ondaty.
and, of the human persons, even of the woman-kind who had not cohabited with man, —all the persons, 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 share of them who had gone forth in the host, was, —the number of the flock—three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred;
37 le o añondry naho ose nengaeñe am’Iehovào enenjato tsy-fitompolo-lim’ amby.
and so, the tribute unto Yahweh, out of the flock, was—six hundred and seventy-five;
38 Le telo-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty añombe, aa le fitom-polo-ro’ amby ty nengaeñe am’Iehovà;
and the herd, thirty-six thousand, —and the tribute of them unto Yahweh—seventy-two;
39 telo-ale-tsi-liman-jato ty borìke vaho enempolo-raik’ amby ty nengaeñe am’ Iehovà;
and the asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, —and the tribute of them unto Yahweh, sixty-one;
40 rai-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty ia’ondatio vaho telopolo-ro’amby ty nengaeñe am’ Iehovà.
and the human persons, sixteen thousand, —and the tribute of them unto Yahweh, thirty-two persons.
41 Aa le natolo’ i Mosè amy Elazare mpisoroñe ty anjara’ Iehovà, ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà i Mosè.
And Moses gave the tribute—the heave-offering of Yahweh, unto Eleazar the priest, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
42 Aa naho ty vaki’ i valobohòke navi’ i Mosè ami’ty anjara’ o lahindefoñeoy;
And, of the half, allotted unto the sons of Israel, —which Moses halved away from the men who had gone out in the host,
43 ty vaki’ i valobohòkey telo-hetse-tsi-telo-ale-tsi-fito-arivo-tsi-liman-jato añondry naho ose,
the half allotted unto the assembly, was—of the flock, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, and five hundred;
44 le telo-ale-tsi-eneñ’arivo ty añombe,
and, of the herd, six and thirty thousand;
45 naho telo-ale-tsi-liman-jato ty borìke,
and, of asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;
46 vaho rai-ale-tsi-eneñ’ arivo ty ia’ondatio.
and, human persons, sixteen thousand.
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.
So then Moses took—out of the half belonging to the sons of Israel the allotted portion one out of fifty, of the human beings and of the beasts, —and gave them unto the Levites, the keepers of the charge of the habitation of Yahweh, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
48 Niheo amy Mosè mb’eo amy zao o mpiaolo nifehe o arivo nialio, toe o mpifelek’ arivoo naho o mpifehe zatoo;
Then came near unto Moses the officers who belonged unto the thousands of the host, —the princes of thousands and the princes of hundreds;
49 le nanao ty hoe amy Mosè: Fa niahe’ o mpitoro’oo o lahindefo nifelehe’aio, leo raike tsy nipoke.
and said unto Moses, Thy servants have reckoned up the sum of the men of war who are in our hand, —and there is not missed from among us, a man!
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.
Therefore have we brought near an offering unto Yahweh, what, each man, hath found—articles of gold, ankle chains and bracelets, rings earrings and buckles, —to put a propitiatory-covering over our souls before Yahweh.
51 Rinambe’ i Mosè naho i Elazare mpisoroñe am’ iereo o volamenao naho o bangeo vaho ze hene bijo,
So Moses, and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, —all the wrought articles.
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 heave-offering which they offered up unto Yahweh, was—sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, —of the princes of thousands, and of the princes of hundreds.
53 amy te songa nikopake ho am-bata’e o lahindefoñeo.
The men of the host, had taken prey, each man 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.
So then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the princes of thousands, and hundreds, —and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the sons of Israel before Yahweh.
