Lakkoobsa 31
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Saba Israaʼeliif jedhiitii warra Midiyaan irratti haaloo baʼi. Ergasii ati gara saba keetiitti walitti qabamta.”
“Punish the Midianites because of what they did to the Israelites. After that you will join your forefathers in death.”
3 Kana irratti Museen saba sanaan akkana jedhe; “Akka isaan warra Midiyaanitti duulanii haaloo Waaqayyoo isaan irratti baʼaniif namoota keessan keessaa muraasa hidhachiisaa.
Moses instructed the people, “Have some of your men get ready for battle, so they can go and attack the Midianites and carry out the Lord's punishment on them.
4 Tokkoo tokkoo gosa Israaʼel keessaa nama kuma tokko tokkoo duulatti ergaa.”
You are to contribute one thousand men from each Israelite tribe.”
5 Akkasitti tokkoo tokkoo gosa Israaʼel keessaa namoonni kumni tokko tokko walitti buufamanii namni kumni kudha lama lolaaf hidhate.
So one thousand men were chosen from each Israelite tribe, making twelve thousand troops ready 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.
Moses sent them into battle, one thousand from each tribe, together with Phinehas, son of Eleazar the priest. He carried with him the holy objects from the sanctuary and the trumpets used for giving signals.
7 Isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sanatti warra Midiyaan lolanii dhiira hunda ajjeesan.
They attacked the Midianites, as the Lord had told Moses to do, and 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.
Among those killed were the five kings of Midian, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba. They also killed Balaam, son of Beor, with the sword.
9 Israaʼeloonni dubartootaa fi ijoollee warra Midiyaan boojiʼan; loon, bushaayee fi qabeenya isaanii hundas ni saaman.
The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children, and they took as plunder all their herds, flocks, and possessions.
10 Magaalaawwan Midiyaanonni keessa jiraatan hundaa fi qubatawwan isaanii hunda ibiddaan guban.
They set fire to all the Midianite towns and camps where they had lived,
11 Isaanis waan boojiʼanii fi waan saaman hunda namaa fi horii illee fuudhanii
and carried away all the plunder and loot, including people and animals.
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.
They brought the prisoners, loot, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the rest of the Israelites where they were camped on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan opposite Jericho.
13 Museen, Eleʼaazaar lubichii fi hooggantoonni waldaa hundi qubataan alatti isaan simachuuf gad baʼan.
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the Israelite leaders went out of the camp to meet them.
14 Museenis ajajjuuwwan loltootaa jechuunis ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa kanneen lolaa galanitti aare.
Moses was angry with the army officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, who returned from the battle.
15 Innis akkana jedhee isaan gaafate; “Isin maaliif dubartoota hunda hambiftan?
“Why did you let all the women live?” he asked them.
16 Kunoo warri waan Pheʼooritti taʼe sana keessatti gorsa Balaʼaam fudhachuudhaan akka dhaʼichi saba Waaqayyoo irra buʼuuf Israaʼeloota Waaqayyo irraa deebisan isaan turan.
“You realize that these were the women seduced the Israelite men, leading them to be unfaithful to the Lord at Peor, following Balaam's advice! That's why the Lord's people suffered from the plague!
17 Ammas ilmaan dhiiraa hunda fixaa; akkasumas dubartii dhiira wajjin ciifte hunda ajjeesaa.
So go and kill all the boys and every woman who has had slept with a man.
18 Garuu dubara takkumaa dhiira wajjin hin ciisin ofii keessaniif hambifadhaa.
Let all the girls who are virgins live. They are yours.
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.
All those of you who killed someone or touched a dead body must stay outside the camp for seven days. Purify yourselves and your prisoners on the third day and the seventh day.
20 Uffata hunda akkasumas waan gogaa irraa, rifeensa reʼee irraa yookaan muka irraa hojjetame hunda qulqulleessaa.”
Also purify all your clothing garment and anything made of leather, goat's hair, or wood.”
21 Ergasiis Eleʼaazaar lubichi loltoota duula dhaqanii turan sanaan akkana jedhe; “Qajeelfamni seeraa kan Waaqayyo Museef kenne kanaa dha:
Eleazar the priest told the soldiers who had gone into battle, “These are the legal regulations that the Lord has ordered Moses to be carried out:
22 Warqee, meetii, naasii, sibiila, qorqorroo, dilaalii fi
All that's made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
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.
anything that doesn't burn—must be put through fire to make it clean. But it still has to be purified using water of purification. Anything that burns must be put through the water.
24 Guyyaa torbaffaatti uffata keessan miiccadhaa; isinis ni qulqulleeffamtu. Ergasii qubatatti galuu dandeessu.”
Wash your clothes on the seventh day and you will be clean. Then you can enter the camp.”
25 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
The Lord told Moses,
26 “Ati, Eleʼaazaar lubichii fi abbootiin maatii waldaa sanaa namootaa fi horii boojiʼaman lakkaaʼaa.
“You, Eleazar the priest, and the Israelite family leaders are to take a record of the people and animals that were captured.
27 Boojuu sanas loltoota duula dhaqanii turanii fi waldaa hunda gidduutti iddoo lamatti qoodi.
Then divide them between the troops who went into battle and the rest of the Israelites.
28 Loltoota duulan irraa namas taʼu loon, harroota, hoolota yookaan reʼoota dhibba shan keessaa tokko Waaqayyoof gibira fuudhi.
Take as a contribution to the Lord from what is allocated to the troops who went into battle one out of every five hundred people, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.
29 Gibira sanas walakkaa qooda isaanii irraa fuudhii qooda Waaqayyoo godhiitii Eleʼaazaar lubichatti kenni.
Take this from their half share and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to 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.”
From the Israelites; half share, take one out of every fifty people, cattle, donkeys, or sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who take care of the Lord's Tabernacle.”
31 Musee fi Eleʼaazaar lubichi akkuma Waaqayyo Musee ajaje sana godhan.
Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord had ordered Moses.
32 Wanti boojuu loltoonni fudhatan irraa hafe hoolota 675,000,
This was the list of plunder remaining that had been looted by the troops: 675,000 sheep,
33 loon 72,000,
72,000 cattle,
34 harroota 61,000,
61,000 donkeys,
35 dubartoonni takkumaa dhiira wajjin hin ciisin 32,000 turan.
and 32,000 virgins.
36 Qoodni walakkaa kan warra duulaniif qoodame: Hoolota 337,500
This was the half share for those who had gone to fight: 337,500 sheep,
37 keessaa gibirri Waaqayyoo 675 ture;
with a contribution for the Lord of 675,
38 loon 36,000 keessaa gibirri Waaqayyoo 72 ture;
36,000 cattle, with a Lord's contribution of 72,

and 16,000 people, with a Lord's contribution of 32.
41 Museen akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sanatti gibira sana qooda Waaqayyoo godhee Eleʼaazaar lubichatti kenne.
Moses gave the contribution to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the Lord as the Lord had ordered Moses.
42 Qooda walakkaa kan Museen warra duulan irraa Israaʼelootaaf qoode:
The Israelites' half share left after Moses had given the half share to the troops who had gone to fight,
43 Walakkaan boojuu kan waldaa sanaa hoolota 337,500,
consisted of: 337,500 sheep,
44 loon 36,000,
36,000 cattle,
45 harroota 30,500,
30,500 donkeys,
46 nama 16,000 ture.
and 16,000 people.
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 from the Israelites' half one out of every fifty people and animals and gave them the Levites who take care of the Lord's Tabernacle, as the Lord had ordered him.
48 Ergasiis ajajjuuwwan loltoota kumaatama irratti aangoo qaban jechuunis ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa gara Musee dhaqanii
The army officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds, came to Moses
49 akkana jedhaniin; “Nu garboonni kee loltoota ajaja keenya jala jiran lakkoofneerra; namni tokko iyyuu hin hirʼanne.
and told him, “We, your servants, have checked the troops we command and not a single man is missing.
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.”
So we have brought the Lord an offering of the gold objects each man received—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—in order that we may be right before the Lord.”
51 Musee fi Eleʼaazaar lubichis warqee fi faayawwan harkaan tolfaman hunda isaan harkaa fuudhan.
Moses and Eleazar the priest accepted from them all the objects made out of gold.
52 Warqeen ajajjuuwwan kumaatii fi ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa kennan kanneen Musee fi Eleʼaazaar akka kennaatti Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessan hundi saqilii 16,750 ulfaatu ture.
The gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds gave as an offering to the Lord weighed in total 16,750 shekels.
53 Tokkoon tokkoon loltootaa ofii isaaniitiif boojuu fudhatanii turan.
(The men who had fought in the battle had each taken plunder for himself.)
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.
Moses and Eleazar the priest accepted the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and took it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial offering for the Israelites in the presence of the Lord.
