Lakkoobsa 31
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Saba Israaʼeliif jedhiitii warra Midiyaan irratti haaloo baʼi. Ergasii ati gara saba keetiitti walitti qabamta.”
“First, avenge the sons of Israel from the Midianites, and then you shall be gathered to your people.”
3 Kana irratti Museen saba sanaan akkana jedhe; “Akka isaan warra Midiyaanitti duulanii haaloo Waaqayyoo isaan irratti baʼaniif namoota keessan keessaa muraasa hidhachiisaa.
And immediately Moses said: “Arm the men among you for a battle, so that they may be able to fulfill the retribution of the Lord on the Midianites.
4 Tokkoo tokkoo gosa Israaʼel keessaa nama kuma tokko tokkoo duulatti ergaa.”
Let one thousand men be chosen from each tribe of Israel, who shall be sent to war.”
5 Akkasitti tokkoo tokkoo gosa Israaʼel keessaa namoonni kumni tokko tokko walitti buufamanii namni kumni kudha lama lolaaf hidhate.
And they gave one thousand from each tribe, that is, twelve thousand foot soldiers for battle.
6 Museenis tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa nama kuma tokko tokko Fiinehaas ilma Eleʼaazaar lubichaa isa miʼa iddoo qulqulluutii fi malakata afuufamu harkatti qabate sana wajjin gara waraanaatti erge.
And Moses sent them with Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest; also, he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.
7 Isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sanatti warra Midiyaan lolanii dhiira hunda ajjeesan.
And when they had fought against the Midianites and had prevailed, they killed all the men.
8 Mootonni Midiyaan shanan jechuunis Eewii, Reqem, Zuuri, Huurii fi Rebaanis warra ajjeefaman keessa turan. Akkasumas Balaʼaam ilma Beʼoor goraadeedhaan ajjeesan.
And they put to death by the sword their kings: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five leaders of the nation, and also Balaam the son of Beor.
9 Israaʼeloonni dubartootaa fi ijoollee warra Midiyaan boojiʼan; loon, bushaayee fi qabeenya isaanii hundas ni saaman.
And they seized their women and little ones, and all their cattle, and all their goods; whatever they were able to have, they despoiled.
10 Magaalaawwan Midiyaanonni keessa jiraatan hundaa fi qubatawwan isaanii hunda ibiddaan guban.
Both their cities and their villages, as well as their fortresses, they burned.
11 Isaanis waan boojiʼanii fi waan saaman hunda namaa fi horii illee fuudhanii
And they carried away prey from everything that they had seized, both of men and of beasts.
12 warra boojiʼan, waan qabatanii fi waan saaman gara iddoo qubata isaanii kan fuula Yerikoo dura, Yordaanos cina, dirreewwan Moʼaab keessa jiruutti gara Museetti, gara Eleʼaazaar lubichaatii fi gara waldaa Israaʼelitti fidan.
And they led these to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the sons of Israel. But the remainder of the articles they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, next to the Jordan, opposite Jericho.
13 Museen, Eleʼaazaar lubichii fi hooggantoonni waldaa hundi qubataan alatti isaan simachuuf gad baʼan.
Then Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the assembly went out to meet them beyond the camp.
14 Museenis ajajjuuwwan loltootaa jechuunis ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa kanneen lolaa galanitti aare.
And Moses, being angry with the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions, who had arrived from the battle,
15 Innis akkana jedhee isaan gaafate; “Isin maaliif dubartoota hunda hambiftan?
said: “Why have you spared the females?
16 Kunoo warri waan Pheʼooritti taʼe sana keessatti gorsa Balaʼaam fudhachuudhaan akka dhaʼichi saba Waaqayyoo irra buʼuuf Israaʼeloota Waaqayyo irraa deebisan isaan turan.
Are not these the ones who deceived the sons of Israel at the suggestion of Balaam, and who caused you betray the Lord by the sin of Peor, because of which the people also were struck down?
17 Ammas ilmaan dhiiraa hunda fixaa; akkasumas dubartii dhiira wajjin ciifte hunda ajjeesaa.
Therefore, put to death all of them: whatever is of the male sex, even among the little ones, and cut the throats of those women who have known men by sexual relations.
18 Garuu dubara takkumaa dhiira wajjin hin ciisin ofii keessaniif hambifadhaa.
But the young girls, and all female virgins, reserve for yourselves.
19 “Isin keessaa namni nama ajjeese kam iyyuu yookaan namni nama ajjeefame tuqe kam iyyuu bultii torba qubataan ala haa turu. Bultii sadaffaa fi bultii torbaffaattis ofii keessanii fi boojuu keessan qulqulleessaa.
And remain beyond the camp for seven days. Whoever has killed a man, or who has touched one that was killed, shall be purified on the third day and on the seventh day.
20 Uffata hunda akkasumas waan gogaa irraa, rifeensa reʼee irraa yookaan muka irraa hojjetame hunda qulqulleessaa.”
And all of the spoils, whether it is a garment, or a vessel, or another useful thing, made from the pelts or hair of goats, or from wood, shall be expiated.”
21 Ergasiis Eleʼaazaar lubichi loltoota duula dhaqanii turan sanaan akkana jedhe; “Qajeelfamni seeraa kan Waaqayyo Museef kenne kanaa dha:
Likewise, Eleazar the priest spoke in this manner to the men of the army who had fought: “This is the precept of the law, which the Lord has commanded Moses:
22 Warqee, meetii, naasii, sibiila, qorqorroo, dilaalii fi
Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,
23 wanni ibidda irraa hafuu dandaʼu kam iyyuu ibidda keessa dabarfamee qulqullaaʼuu qaba. Garuu wanni sun bishaan qulqullaaʼummaatiinis qulqulleeffamuu qaba. Wanni ibidda irra hafuu hin dandeenye kam iyyuu bishaan sanaan qulqulleeffama.
and all that may be able to pass through fire, shall be purified by fire. But whatever is not able to sustain fire shall be sanctified with the waters of expiation.
24 Guyyaa torbaffaatti uffata keessan miiccadhaa; isinis ni qulqulleeffamtu. Ergasii qubatatti galuu dandeessu.”
And you shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and, after having been purified, you shall enter the camp.”
25 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord also said to Moses:
26 “Ati, Eleʼaazaar lubichii fi abbootiin maatii waldaa sanaa namootaa fi horii boojiʼaman lakkaaʼaa.
“Take the sum of those things which were captured, from man even to beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the common people.
27 Boojuu sanas loltoota duula dhaqanii turanii fi waldaa hunda gidduutti iddoo lamatti qoodi.
And you shall divide the prey equally, among those who went out to war and fought, and among the remainder of the multitude.
28 Loltoota duulan irraa namas taʼu loon, harroota, hoolota yookaan reʼoota dhibba shan keessaa tokko Waaqayyoof gibira fuudhi.
And you shall separate a portion for the Lord from the portion of those who fought and were in the battle: one soul out of five hundred, as much from humans, as from oxen and donkeys and sheep.
29 Gibira sanas walakkaa qooda isaanii irraa fuudhii qooda Waaqayyoo godhiitii Eleʼaazaar lubichatti kenni.
And you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, because these are the first-fruits of the Lord.
30 Walakkaa qooda saba Israaʼel irraa immoo namas taʼu loon, harroota, hoolota, reʼoota yookaan horii biraa shantama keessaa tokko fuudhiitii Lewwota warra itti gaafatamtoota dunkaana Waaqayyoo taʼanitti kenni.”
Likewise, from the half of the portion belonging to the sons of Israel, you shall receive the fiftieth head of humans, and of oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and of all living things, and you shall give these to the Levites who stand watch over the care of the tabernacle of the Lord.”
31 Musee fi Eleʼaazaar lubichi akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sana godhan.
And Moses and Eleazar did just as the Lord had instructed.
32 Wanti boojuu loltoonni fudhatan irraa hafe hoolota 675,000,
Now the prey which the army had seized was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 loon 72,000,
seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 harroota 61,000,
sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35 dubartoonni takkumaa dhiira wajjin hin ciisin 32,000 turan.
and thirty-two thousand human lives, of the female sex, who had not known men.
36 Qoodni walakkaa kan warra duulaniif qoodame: Hoolota 337,500
And one half of the portion was given to those who had been in the battle: three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep.
37 keessaa gibirri Waaqayyoo 675 ture;
From these, for the portion of the Lord, there were accounted: six hundred seventy-five sheep;
38 loon 36,000 keessaa gibirri Waaqayyoo 72 ture;
and from the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen;
39 harroota 30,500 keessaa gibirri Waaqayyoo 61 ture;
from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, sixty-one donkeys.
40 nama 16,000 keessaa gibirri Waaqayyoo 32 ture.
From the sixteen thousand human souls, there fell to the portion of the Lord thirty-two souls.
41 Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sanatti gibira sana qooda Waaqayyoo godhee Eleʼaazaar lubichatti kenne.
And Moses delivered the number of the first-fruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, just as had been commanded of him,
42 Qooda walakkaa kan Museen warra duulan irraa Israaʼelootaaf qoode:
from the one half portion belonging to the sons of Israel, which he had separated from the portion of those who had been in the battle.
43 Walakkaan boojuu kan waldaa sanaa hoolota 337,500,
Yet truly, from the one half portion which fell to the remainder of the multitude, that is, from the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44 loon 36,000,
and from the thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 harroota 30,500,
and from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46 nama 16,000 ture.
and from the sixteen thousand persons,
47 Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sanatti walakkaa saba Israaʼel irraa namaa fi horii shantama keessaa tokko fuudhee Lewwota warra itti gaafatamtoota dunkaana Waaqayyoo taʼanitti kenne.
Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites who stand watch at the tabernacle of the Lord, just as the Lord had instructed.
48 Ergasiis ajajjuuwwan loltoota kumaatama irratti aangoo qaban jechuunis ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa gara Musee dhaqanii
And when the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions had approached Moses, they said:
49 akkana jedhaniin; “Nu garboonni kee loltoota ajaja keenya jala jiran lakkoofneerra; namni tokko iyyuu hin hirʼanne.
“We, your servants, have taken a census of the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and indeed not one was lacking.
50 Kanaafuu nu waan tokkoon tokkoon keenya arganne jechuunis miʼa warqee, arboora, bitawoo, qubeelaa chaappaa, lootii fi amartii mormaa akka fuula Waaqayyoo duratti aarsaa araara nuu buusuuf kennaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu goonee fidneerra.”
For this reason, we offer as gifts to the Lord whatever gold each one was able to find amid the spoils, in anklets and arm bands, rings and bracelets, and little chains, so that you may intercede for us to the Lord.”
51 Musee fi Eleʼaazaar lubichis warqee fi faayawwan harkaan tolfaman hunda isaan harkaa fuudhan.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in its various kinds,
52 Warqeen ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa kennan kanneen Musee fi Eleʼaazaar akka kennaatti Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan hundi saqilii 16,750 ulfaatu ture.
weighing sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels, from the tribunes and the centurions.
53 Tokkoon tokkoon loltootaa ofii isaaniitiif boojuu fudhatanii turan.
For whatever each one had taken away in the spoils was his own.
54 Musee fi Eleʼaazaar lubichis warqee sana ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa harkaa fuudhanii akka Israaʼeloonni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ittiin yaadatamaniif dunkaana wal gaʼiitti ol galchan.
And having been accepted, they took it into the tabernacle of the testimony, as a memorial of the sons of Israel before the Lord.
