Tauanga 31

1 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Then the Lord said to Moses,

2 Rapua he utu mo nga tama a Iharaira i nga Miriani: hei muri iho ka kohia koe ki tou iwi.

Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.

3 Na ka korero a Mohi ki te iwi, ka mea, Whitiki etahi o koutou mo te whawhai, ka haere ai ki te tu i a Miriana ki te tohe i ta Ihowa utu i a Miriana.

So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.

4 Kia kotahi te mano o tenei iwi, o tenei iwi, o nga iwi katoa o iharaira, e unga ki te whawhai.

From every tribe of Israel send a thousand to the war.

5 Na ka wehea e ratou i roto i nga mano o Iharaira, he mano no ia iwi, tekau ma rua mano, rite tonu i te patu mo te whawhai.

So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.

6 Na, ka unga ratou e Mohi ki te whawhai, he mano no tenei iwi, no tenei iwi, me Pinehaha tama a Eratara tohunga, ki te whawhai, me nga mea tapu ano, me nga tetere i tona ringa hei whakaoho.

And Moses sent them out to war, a thousand from every tribe, and with them Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, taking in his hands the vessels of the holy place and the horns for sounding the note of war.

7 Na ka whawhai ratou ki a Miriana, ka pera me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi: a patua iho e ratou nga tane katoa.

And they made war on Midian, as the Lord gave orders to Moses; and they put to death every male.

8 I patua ano e ratou nga kingi o Miriana, i roto i te parekura; a Ewi ratou ko Rekeme, ko Turu, ko Huru, ko Repa, nga kingi tokorima o Miriana: i patua ano e ratou a Paraama, te tama a Peoro ki te hoari.

They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.

9 A whakaraua ana e nga tama a Iharaira nga wahine o Miriana, me a ratou kohungahunga; i tongohia ano a ratou kararehe katoa, hei taonga parau, me a ratou kahui katoa, me o ratou taonga katoa.

The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;

10 Tahuna ake hoki e ratou ki te ahi o ratou pa katoa i noho ai ratou, me o ratou whare rangatira katoa.

And after burning all their towns and all their tent-circles,

11 A tangohia ana e ratou nga taonga katoa, me nga mea parau katoa, te tangata me te kararehe.

They went away with the goods they had taken, man and beast.

12 A kawea ana e ratou ki a Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga, ki te whakaminenga ano hoki o nga tama a Iharaira, nga whakarau, me era mea parau, me nga taonga, ki te puni ki nga mania o Moapa, ki te wahi o Horano e tata ana ki Heriko.

And the prisoners and the goods and everything they had taken, they took to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the people of Israel, to the tent-circle in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

13 A ka puta a Mohi ratou ko Ereatara tohunga, ko nga ariki katoa o te whakaminenga ki te whakatau i a ratou ki waho o te puni;

Then Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs of the people went out to them before they had come into the tent-circle.

14 Na ka riri a Mohi ki nga rangatira o te ope, ki nga rangatira o nga mano, ki nga rangatira ano hoki o nga rau, i haere mai nei i te whawhai.

And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.

15 Na ka mea a Mohi ki a ratou, Kua whakaorangia e koutou nga wahine katoa?

And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?

16 Nana, ko nga mea enei nana i tutu ai nga tama a Iharaira ki a Ihowa i to Peoro ra, he mea tohutohu na Paraama, i pa ai te whiu ki te whakaminenga a Ihowa.

It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.

17 Na reira patua aianei nga tane katoa i roto i nga kohungahunga, patua hoki nga wahine katoa kua mohio, kua takoto ki te tane.

So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.

18 Ko nga kohungahunga wahine katoa ia, kahore nei i mohio, i takoto ki te tane, whakaorangia ma koutou.

But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.

19 Ko koutou hoki, me noho ki waho o te puni, kia whitu nga ra: ko nga tangata katoa i patu i te tangata, me nga mea katoa hoki i pa ki te tangata i patua, me pure koutou i a koutou, me a koutou whakarau i te toru o nga ra, i te whitu hoki o nga ra.

You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean.

20 Me pure ano hoki nga kakahu katoa, me nga oko hiako, me nga mea katoa i hanga ki te huruhuru koati, me nga oko rakau katoa.

And every bit of clothing, and anything made of leather or goats' hair or wood, you are to make clean.

21 I mea ano a Ereatara tohunga ki nga tangata whawhai, i haere ki te riri, Ko te tikanga tenei o te ture i whakahaua e Ihowa ki a Mohi;

Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:

22 Ko te koura anake, me te hiriwa, ko te parahi, ko te rino, ko te tine, me te mata,

But gold and silver and brass and iron and tin and lead,

23 Ko nga mea katoa e puta i te ahi, me tuku na roto i te ahi, a ka kore te poke: otiia me pure ano ki te wai o te wehenga: a, ko nga mea katoa e kore e puta i te ahi, me tuku na roto i te wai.

And anything which may be heated, is to go through the fire and be made clean; but in addition it is to be put in the water of cleaning: and anything which may not go through the fire is to be put in the water.

24 A me horoi o koutou kakahu i te whitu o nga ra, a ka kore o koutou poke, a hei muri iho ka tomo ki te puni.

And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle.

25 A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

And the Lord said to Moses,

26 Tirohia te maha o te taonga parau i riro mai, o te tangata, o te kararehe, e korua ko Ereatara tohunga, e nga matua ariki ano hoki o nga whare o te whakaminenga:

Get an account of everything which was taken in the war, of man and of beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of families of the people:

27 Wehea hoki nga taonga parau kia rua nga wahi; ma te hunga i hapai i te pakanga, i haere atu ki te whawhai, ma te whakaminenga katoa ano.

And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:

28 Tangohia ano hoki he takoha ma Ihowa i nga tangata i whawhai, i haere atu na ki te riri: kia kotahi wairua i roto i nga rau e rima, o te tangata, ratou tahi ko te kau, ko te kaihe, ko nga hipi hoki.

And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:

29 Me tango i roto i ta ratou hawhe, ka hoatu ai ki a Ereatara, ki te tohunga, hei whakahere hapahapai ki a Ihowa.

Take this from their part and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to be lifted up to the Lord.

30 Me tango ano e koe i roto i te hawhe a nga tama a Iharaira, kia kotahi wahi i roto i te rima tekau, o te tangata, o te kau, o te kaihe, o te hipi, ara o nga kararehe katoa, ka hoatu ai ma nga Riwaiti, ma nga kaitiaki o nga mea o te tapenakara o Ihowa.

And from the part given to the children of Israel, take one out of every fifty, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep, and give it to the Levites who have the care of the House of the Lord.

31 Na peratia ana e Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

So Eleazar and Moses did as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

32 A ko te taonga, ko te toenga iho o nga mea i riro parau i nga tangata i whawhai, e ono rau e whitu tekau ma rima mano hipi,

Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

33 E whitu tekau ma rua mano hoki nga kau,

And seventy-two thousand oxen,

34 E ono tekau ma tahi mano nga kaihe,

And sixty-one thousand asses;

35 E toru tekau ma rua mano nga tangata, ara nga wahine kahore ano i mohio noa, i takoto noa, ki te tane.

And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.

36 A, ko tera hawhe, ko te wahi a te hunga i haere ki te whawhai, e toru rau e toru tekau ma whitu mano e rima rau te maha o nga hipi:

And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

37 A, ko te takoha ma Ihowa o nga hipi e ono rau e whitu tekau ma rima.

Of which the Lord's part was six hundred and seventy-five.

38 E toru tekau ma ono mano nga kau; a, ko te takoha ma Ihowa e whitu tekau ma rua.

The number of oxen was thirty-six thousand, of which the Lord's part was seventy-two;

39 E toru tekau mano e rima rau nga kaihe; a, ko te takoha ma Ihowa e ono tekau ma tahi.

The number of asses was thirty thousand, five hundred, of which the Lord's part was sixty-one.

40 A ko nga tangata tekau ma ono mano; a, ko te takoha ma Ihowa, e toru tekau ma rua tangata.

And the number of persons was sixteen thousand, of which the Lord's part was thirty-two persons.

41 Na ka hoatu e Mohi te takoha, te whakahere hapahapai ma Ihowa, ki a Ereatara tohunga, ka peratia me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mohi.

And Moses gave the Lord's part, lifted up as an offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

42 Na, no roto i te hawhe a nga tama a Iharaira i wehea nei e Mohi i roto i ta te hunga i whawhai,

And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men,

43 Ko te hawhe hoki a te whakaminenga, e toru rau e toru tekau ma whitu mano e rima rau hipi,

(Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

44 E toru tekau ma ono mano nga kau,

And thirty-six thousand oxen,

45 E toru tekau mano e rima rau nga kaihe,

And thirty thousand, five hundred asses,

46 Kotahi tekau ma ono mano nga tangata;

And sixteen thousand persons; )

47 I tangohia e Mohi i roto i te hawhe a nga tama a Iharaira, kotahi wahi i roto i te rima tekau, o te tangata, o te kararehe; a hoatu ana ki nga Riwaiti i tiaki nei i nga mea o te tapenakara o Ihowa; i peratia ano me ta Ihowa i whakahau ai ki a Mo hi.

Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

48 Na ka haere mai ki a Mohi nga rangatira mano o te ope, nga rangatira mano ratou ko nga rangatira rau:

Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,

49 A ka mea ki a Mohi, Kua tirohia e au pononga te tokomaha o nga tangata i whawhai nei i raro i o matou ringa, a kahore i ngaro tetahi o matou.

And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;

50 Koia i kawea mai ai e matou he whakahere ma Ihowa, e ia tangata, e ia tangata, tana i whiwhi ai, etahi mea koura, etahi mekameka, poroporo, mowhiti, whakakai, heitiki hoki, hei whakamarie mo o matou wairua ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord.

51 Na ka tangohia e Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga te koura i a ratou, he mea mahi katoa.

So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.

52 A kotahi tekau ma ono mano e whitu rau e rima tekau hekere o te koura katoa o te whakahere i tapaea e ratou ki a Ihowa, o ta nga rangatira mano ratou ko nga rangatira rau.

And the gold which the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds gave, as an offering to be lifted up before the Lord, came to sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels.

53 I pahuatia hoki e nga tangata i whakawhai etahi taonga, tena mona ake, tena mona ake.

(For every man of the army had taken goods for himself in the war.)

54 Na tangohia ana e Mohi raua ko Ereatara tohunga te koura a nga rangatira o nga mano, o nga rau, a kawea ana e raua ki roto ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, hei whakamahara mo nga tama a Iharaira ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.
