Numeri 31
1 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Tsiva kuvaMidhiani zvavakaitira vaIsraeri. Shure kwaizvozvo uchandosanganiswa navanhu vako.”
“First, avenge the sons of Israel from the Midianites, and then you shall be gathered to your people.”
3 Saka Mozisi akati kuvanhu, “Shongedzai vamwe varume vokwenyu nhumbi dzokurwa kuti vaende kundorwa navaMidhiani kuti vazadzise kutsiva kwaJehovha pamusoro pavo.
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 Endesai kuhondo varume chiuru kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe rwavaIsraeri.”
Let one thousand men be chosen from each tribe of Israel, who shall be sent to war.”
5 Saka varume zviuru gumi nezviviri vakashongedzerwa kundorwa, chiuru chimwe kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe, vakauyiswa vachibva kumhuri dzavaIsraeri.
And they gave one thousand from each tribe, that is, twelve thousand foot soldiers for battle.
6 Mozisi akavatuma kundorwa, chiuru kubva kurudzi rumwe norumwe, pamwe chete naFinehasi mwanakomana waEreazari muprista, uyo akatorawo nhumbi dzomunzvimbo tsvene nehwamanda dzokuridza pakutungamirira.
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 Vakarwisa vaMidhiani, sezvakanga zvarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha, vakauraya varume vose.
And when they had fought against the Midianites and had prevailed, they killed all the men.
8 Vakaurayiwa pakati pavo ndiEvhi, Rekemu, Zuri, Huri naRebha, madzimambo mashanu avaMidhiani. Vakaurayawo nomunondo Bharamu mwanakomana waBheori.
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 VaIsraeri vakatapa vakadzi vavaMidhiani navana vavo uye vakatora mombe dzose dzavaMidhiani, makwai nepfuma sezvinhu zvavakapamba.
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 Vakapisa maguta ose avaMidhiani, pamwe chete nemisasa yavo yose.
Both their cities and their villages, as well as their fortresses, they burned.
11 Vakatora zvose zvavakapamba, nepfuma, pamwe chete navanhu uye nezvipfuwo,
And they carried away prey from everything that they had seized, both of men and of beasts.
12 vakauya nenhapwa, nepfuma uye nezvavakapamba kuna Mozisi naEreazari muprista, uye vaIsraeri vakaungana pamisasa yavo pamapani eMoabhu, paJorodhani uchibva mhiri kuJeriko.
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 Mozisi, Ereazari navatungamiri vose veungano vakabuda kuti vandosangana navo kunze kwomusasa.
Then Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the assembly went out to meet them beyond the camp.
14 Mozisi akatsamwira machinda ehondo, vatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana, vakadzoka kuhondo.
And Moses, being angry with the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions, who had arrived from the battle,
15 Akavabvunza akati, “Ko, makatendera vakadzi vose kuti vararame here?
said: “Why have you spared the females?
16 Ndivo vakanga vachitevera zano raBharamu uye ndivo vakatsausa vaIsraeri kubva kuna Jehovha pane zvakaitika paPeori, naizvozvo denda rikauya pamusoro pavanhu vaJehovha.
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 Zvino chiurayai vakomana vose. Uye muuraye mukadzi mumwe nomumwe akavata nomurume,
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 asi muzvisiyire musikana mumwe nomumwe asina kuvata nomurume.
But the young girls, and all female virgins, reserve for yourselves.
19 “Imi mose makauraya ani zvake kana kubata ani zvake akaurayiwa, munofanira kugara kunze kwomusasa kwamazuva manomwe. Pazuva rechitanhatu nezuva rechinomwe, munofanira kuzvinatsa imi nenhapwa dzenyu.
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 Munatse nguo imwe neimwe pamwe chete nezvose zvakaitwa namatehwe, mvere dzembudzi kana makushe ehwai.”
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 Ipapo Ereazari muprista akati kuvarwi vakanga vaenda kuhondo, “Hezvino zvinodikanwa
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 pamurayiro wakapiwa Mozisi naJehovha: goridhe, sirivha, ndarira, simbi, tini, mutobvu
Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin,
23 nezvimwewo zvisingaparadzwi nomoto; zvinofanira kuiswa mumoto, ipapo zvichava zvakanaka. Asi zvinofanirawo kucheneswa nemvura yokunatsa. Uye zvose zvisingagoni kukunda moto zvinofanira kupinzwa nomumvura imomo.
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 Pazuva rechinomwe musuke nguo dzenyu, ipapo muchava vakachena. Ipapo mungazochipinda henyu mumusasa.”
And you shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and, after having been purified, you shall enter the camp.”
25 Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi,
And the Lord also said to Moses:
26 “Iwe naEreazari muprista navakuru vemhuri veungano munofanira kuverenga vanhu vose nezvipfuwo zvakapambwa.
“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 Mugovere zvakapambwa pakati pavarwi vakaenda kuhondo uye navakasara muungano.
And you shall divide the prey equally, among those who went out to war and fought, and among the remainder of the multitude.
28 Kubva kuvarwi vakanga vandorwa kuhondo, utsaure somutero waJehovha chinhu chimwe chete pazvinhu mazana mashanu, vangava vanhu, mombe, mbongoro, makwai kana mbudzi.
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 Utore mutero uyu kubva pahafu yavo yomugove wavo ugopa kuna Ereazari muprista somugove waJehovha.
And you shall give it to Eleazar the priest, because these are the first-fruits of the Lord.
30 Kubva kuhafu inova yavaIsraeri, utsaure chinhu chimwe chete kubva pamakumi mashanu oga oga, vangava vanhu, mombe, mbongoro, makwai, mbudzi kana zvimwe zvipfuwo. Uzvipe kuvaRevhi, ivo vane basa rokuchengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha.”
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 Saka Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakaita sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
And Moses and Eleazar did just as the Lord had instructed.
32 Zvakatapwa zvakasara pane zvavakapamba zvakanga zvatorwa navarwi zvaisvika zviuru mazana matanhatu namakumi manomwe nezvishanu zvamakwai,
Now the prey which the army had seized was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 mombe zviuru makumi manomwe nezviviri,
seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 mbongoro zviuru makumi matanhatu nechiuru chimwe chete
sixty-one thousand donkeys,
35 uye vakadzi zviuru makumi matatu nezviviri vakanga vasina kumbovata navarume.
and thirty-two thousand human lives, of the female sex, who had not known men.
36 Hafu yomugove wavaya vakarwa muhondo yaiva: makwai zviuru mazana matatu namakumi matatu nezvinomwe, namazana mashanu,
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 mutero waJehovha paari wakanga uri makwai mazana matanhatu namakwai manomwe namashanu;
From these, for the portion of the Lord, there were accounted: six hundred seventy-five sheep;
38 mombe dzaisvika zviuru makumi matatu nezvitanhatu, mutero waJehovha padziri waiva mombe makumi manomwe nembiri;
and from the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen;
39 mbongoro dzaiva zviuru makumi matatu namazana mashanu, mutero waJehovha padziri wakanga uri mbongoro makumi matanhatu neimwe chete;
from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys, sixty-one donkeys.
40 vanhu vaisvika zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu, mutero waJehovha pavari waiva vanhu makumi matatu navaviri.
From the sixteen thousand human souls, there fell to the portion of the Lord thirty-two souls.
41 Mozisi akapa mutero kuna Ereazari muprista somugove waJehovha, sezvakarayirwa Mozisi naJehovha.
And Moses delivered the number of the first-fruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, just as had been commanded of him,
42 Hafu yakanga iri yavaIsraeri, yakatsaurwa naMozisi kubva kuvarume vehondo,
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 hafu yeungano yaiva makwai zviuru mazana matatu namakumi matatu namanomwe, namazana mashanu,
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 mombe zviuru makumi matatu, nezvitanhatu,
and from the thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 mbongoro dzaiva zviuru makumi matatu, namazana mashanu
and from the thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
46 uye vanhu vaiva zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu.
and from the sixteen thousand persons,
47 Kubva pahafu yaiva yavaIsraeri, Mozisi akatsaura munhu mumwe chete kubva pavanhu makumi mashanu, chipfuwo chimwe chete kubva pazvipfuwo makumi mashanu, sezvakarayirwa naJehovha, akazvipa kuvaRevhi, vakanga vane basa rokuchengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha.
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 Ipapo machinda akanga ari vatariri vamapoka ehondo, vatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana vakaenda kuna Mozisi
And when the leaders of the army, and the tribunes, and the centurions had approached Moses, they said:
49 vakati kwaari, “Varanda venyu vaverenga varwi vari pasi pedu, hapana kana mumwe chete asipo.
“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 Saka tauya nechipo kuna Jehovha chezvishongo zvegoridhe zvakawanikwa nomumwe nomumwe wedu, zvishongo zvegoridhe, mhete dzomumaoko, mhete dzomunzeve nouketani hwomumutsipa kuti tizviyananisire pamberi paJehovha.”
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 Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakagamuchira kubva kwavari goridhe, zvinhu zvose zvakanga zvakaitwa noumhizha.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in its various kinds,
52 Goridhe rose rakabva kuvatungamiri vezviuru navatungamiri vamazana rakapiwa kuna Jehovha naMozisi naEreazari muprista rairema mashekeri zviuru gumi nezvitanhatu, namazana manomwe namakumi mashanu.
weighing sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels, from the tribunes and the centurions.
53 Murwi mumwe nomumwe akanga azvitorera zvake zvakapambwa.
For whatever each one had taken away in the spoils was his own.
54 Mozisi naEreazari muprista vakagamuchira goridhe rakabva kuvatungamiri vezviuru nokuvatungamiri vamazana vakariisa muTende Rokusangana kuti chive chirangaridzo chavaIsraeri pamberi paJehovha.
And having been accepted, they took it into the tabernacle of the testimony, as a memorial of the sons of Israel before the Lord.
