Amanani 31
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Phindisela impindiselo yabantwana bakoIsrayeli kumaMidiyani; emva kwalokho ubuthelwe ebantwini bakini.
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
3 UMozisi wakhuluma ebantwini esithi: Abanye benu kabahlomele impi ukuze bamelane lamaMidiyani, benze impindiselo yeNkosi kumaMidiyani.
And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge YHWH of Midian.
4 Thumelani empini abayinkulungwane kuleso lalesosizwe, kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli.
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5 Kwasekunikelwa kuvela ezinkulungwaneni zakoIsrayeli inkulungwane ngesizwe, inkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili zihlomele impi.
So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 UMozisi wasezithumela empini, inkulungwane ngesizwe, zona loPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi, ukuya empini, belempahla ezingcwele lempondo zokuhlaba umkhosi esandleni sakhe.
And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 Basebesilwa bemelene lamaMidiyani, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi, babulala bonke abesilisa.
And they warred against the Midianites, as YHWH commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 Babulala njalo amakhosi eMidiyani, ngaphandle kwababuleweyo, oEvi loRekemi loZuri loHuri loReba, amakhosi amahlanu eMidiyani; loBalami indodana kaBeyori bambulala ngenkemba.
And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebethumba abesifazana bamaMidiyani labantwanyana babo, baphanga inkomo zawo zonke, lezimvu zawo zonke, layo yonke inotho yawo.
And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 Batshisa ngomlilo yonke imizi ayehlala kiyo, lazo zonke izinqaba zawo.
And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11 Bathatha yonke impango lakho konke okuthunjiweyo, kwabantu lokwezifuyo,
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12 baletha abathunjiweyo lempango lokuthunjiweyo kuMozisi lakuEleyazare umpristi, lakunhlangano yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, enkambeni emagcekeni akoMowabi, aseJordani eJeriko.
And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
13 UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi leziphathamandla zonke zenhlangano basebephuma ukubahlangabeza ngaphandle kwenkamba.
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 UMozisi wasethukuthelela induna zebutho, induna zezinkulungwane lenduna zamakhulu ezazivela ebuthweni lempi.
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15 UMozisi wasesithi kuzo: Liyekele yini abesifazana bonke ukuthi baphile?
And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 Khangelani, yilaba abenza abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngeseluleko sikaBalami, ukuthi benze isiphambeko eNkosini endabeni yePeyori, kwaze kwaba lenhlupheko phakathi kwenhlangano yeNkosi.
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against YHWH in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of YHWH.
17 Ngakho-ke bulalani wonke owesilisa ebantwanyaneni, libulale wonke owesifazana owazi indoda ngokulala lendoda;
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 kodwa bonke abantwanyana abesifazana abangazanga indoda ngokulala layo, libayekele baphile, babe ngabenu.
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 Lina-ke, misani inkamba ngaphandle kwenkamba insuku eziyisikhombisa, loba ngubani obulele umuntu, laloba ngubani othinte obuleweyo, lizihlambulule lina labathunjiweyo benu ngosuku lwesithathu langosuku lwesikhombisa,
And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20 lihlambulule sonke isembatho, layo yonke into eyenziweyo ngesikhumba, lakho konke okwenziweyo ngoboya bembuzi, layo yonke into eyenziweyo ngesihlahla.
And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
21 UEleyazare umpristi wasesithi kumadoda empi ayephume impi: Lesi yisimiso somlayo iNkosi emlaye ngaso uMozisi:
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which YHWH commanded Moses;
22 Kuphela igolide, lesiliva, ithusi, insimbi, ithini, lomnuso,
Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 yonke into engahlala emlilweni lizayidlulisa emlilweni, ihlambuluke; loba kunjalo izahlanjululwa ngamanzi okwehlukanisa. Lakho konke okungahlali emlilweni lizakudlulisa emanzini.
Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
24 Njalo lizahlamba izembatho zenu ngosuku lwesikhombisa, lihlambuluke, lemva kwalokho lingene enkambeni.
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying,
26 Thatha inani lonke lempango lokuthunjiweyo, okwabantu lokwezifuyo, wena, loEleyazare umpristi, lenhloko zaboyise zenhlangano;
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 yehlukanisa impango ibe zingxenye ezimbili, phakathi kwabahlanganyela empini baphuma impi lenhlangano yonke.
And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
28 Njalo thelisela iNkosi umthelo emadodeni empi ayephumele impi, umphefumulo owodwa phakathi kwamakhulu amahlanu, owabantu, lowenkomo, lowabobabhemi, lowezimvu,
And levy a tribute unto YHWH of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
29 likuthathe kungxenye yawo eyodwa kwezimbili, njalo ukunike uEleyazare umpristi kube ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi.
Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of YHWH.
30 Lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yabantwana bakoIsrayeli thatha isabelo esisodwa kwezingamatshumi amahlanu, esabantu, esezinkomo, esabobabhemi, lesezimvu, kuso sonke isifuyo, ukunike amaLevi alondoloza imfanelo yethabhanekele leNkosi.
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of YHWH.
31 UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebesenza njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as YHWH commanded Moses.
32 Lempango eyayisele lokuthunjiweyo abantu bempi abakuthumbayo yayiyizimvu ezizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu,
And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 lenkomo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa lambili,
And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 labobabhemi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi ayisithupha lanye,
And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 lemiphefumulo yabantu besifazana abangazanga ukulala lendoda, bonke abantu babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lambili.
And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of woman that had not known man by lying with him.
36 Lengxenye, isabelo sababephumele impi, ngenani, yayiyizimvu ezizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu;
And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
37 lomthelo eNkosini wezimvu wawungamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi ayisikhombisa lanhlanu.
And YHWH 's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 Lenkomo zazizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesithupha; lomthelo wazo eNkosini wawungamatshumi ayisikhombisa lambili.
And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which YHWH 's tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 Labobabhemi babeyizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lamakhulu amahlanu; lomthelo wabo eNkosini wawungamatshumi ayisithupha lanye.
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which YHWH 's tribute was threescore and one.
40 Lemiphefumulo yabantu yayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesithupha; lomthelo wayo eNkosini wawungabantu abangamatshumi amathathu lambili.
And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which YHWH 's tribute was thirty and two persons.
41 UMozisi wasenika umthelo, umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa weNkosi, kuEleyazare umpristi, njengalokho iNkosi yamlaya uMozisi.
And Moses gave the tribute, which was YHWH 's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as YHWH commanded Moses.
42 Lokwengxenye yabantwana bakoIsrayeli, uMozisi ayehlukanise ivela emadodeni ayelwe impi.
And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43 Lengxenye engeyenhlangano, eyezimvu, yayizinkulungwane ezingamakhulu amathathu lamatshumi amathathu lesikhombisa lamakhulu amahlanu,
(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 lenkomo ezizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lesithupha,
And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 labobabhemi abazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amathathu lamakhulu amahlanu,
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46 lemiphefumulo yabantu abayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesithupha.
And sixteen thousand persons; )
47 Lakuyo ingxenye yabantwana bakoIsrayeli uMozisi wathatha isabelo esisodwa kwezingatshumini amahlanu, esabantu lesezifuyo, wakunika amaLevi ayelondoloza imfanelo yethabhanekele leNkosi, njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi.
Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of YHWH; as YHWH commanded Moses.
48 Iziphathamandla ezaziphezu kwezinkulungwane zebutho, izinduna zezinkulungwane lezinduna zamakhulu, zasezisondela kuMozisi,
And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49 zathi kuMozisi: Izinceku zakho sezithethe inani lonke lamadoda empi ayengaphansi kwesandla sethu; njalo kakulamuntu ongekho kithi.
And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 Ngakho silethile umnikelo weNkosi, ngulowo lalowo awutholileyo, izinto zegolide, izigqizo, lamasongo, izindandatho, amacici, lezigqizo zentanyeni, ukwenzela imiphefumulo yethu inhlawulo yokuthula phambi kweNkosi.
We have therefore brought an oblation for YHWH, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before YHWH.
51 UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebesemukela igolide kuzo, zonke izinto ezenziwe ngobungcitshi.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
52 Lalo lonke igolide lomnikelo abalinikela eNkosini, livela ezinduneni zezinkulungwane lezinduneni zamakhulu lalingamashekeli azinkulungwane ezilitshumi lesithupha lamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamatshumi amahlanu.
And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to YHWH, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 Amadoda empi ayethethe impango, yileyo laleyo engeyayo.
(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54 UMozisi loEleyazare umpristi basebesemukela igolide enduneni zezinkulungwane lezamakhulu, baliletha ethenteni lenhlangano, kube yisikhumbuzo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli phambi kweNkosi.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before YHWH.
