Números 31
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Castiga a los madianitas por lo que le hicieron a los israelitas. Después de eso te unirás a tus antepasados en la muerte”.
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shall you be gathered unto your people.
3 Moisés instruyó al pueblo: “Que algunos de tus hombres se preparen para la batalla, para que puedan ir a atacar a los madianitas y llevar a cabo el castigo del Señor sobre ellos.
And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
4 Debes contribuir con mil hombres de cada tribu israelita”.
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall all of you send to the war.
5 Así que se eligieron mil hombres de cada tribu israelita, haciendo doce mil tropas listas para la batalla.
So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Moisés los envió a la batalla, mil de cada tribu, junto con Finees, hijo del sacerdote Eleazar. Llevó consigo los objetos sagrados del santuario y las trompetas usadas para dar señales.
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 Atacaron a los madianitas, como el Señor le había dicho a Moisés, y mataron a todos los hombres.
And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 Entre los muertos estaban los cinco reyes de Madián, Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur y Reba. También mataron a Balaam, hijo de Beor, con la espada.
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 Los israelitas capturaron a las mujeres y niños madianitas, y tomaron como botín todas sus manadas, rebaños y posesiones.
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 Prendieron fuego a todos los pueblos y campamentos madianitas donde habían vivido,
And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11 y se llevaron todo el saqueo y el botín, incluyendo personas y animales.
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
12 Llevaron los prisioneros, el saqueo y el pillaje a Moisés, al sacerdote Eleazar y al resto de los israelitas donde estaban acampados en las llanuras de Moab, junto al Jordán, frente a Jericó.
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 Moisés, Eleazar el sacerdote y todos los líderes israelitas salieron del campamento para encontrarse con ellos.
And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 Moisés estaba enfadado con los oficiales del ejército, los comandantes de miles y los comandantes de cientos, que volvieron de la batalla.
And Moses was angry with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
15 “¿Por qué dejaste vivir a todas las mujeres?” les preguntó.
And Moses said unto them, Have all of you saved all the women alive?
16 “¡Noten que estas mujeres sedujeron a los hombres israelitas, llevándolos a ser infieles al Señor en Peor, siguiendo el consejo de Balaam! Por eso el pueblo del Señor sufrió la plaga.
Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
17 Así que ve y mata a todos los niños y a todas las mujeres que se hayan acostado con un hombre.
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that has known man by lying with him.
18 Deja vivir a todas las chicas que son vírgenes. Son tuyas.
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 Y todos aquellos que mataron a alguien o tocaron un cadáver deben permanecer fuera del campamento durante siete días. Purifíquense y purifiquen a sus prisioneros al tercer y séptimo día.
And do all of you abide without the camp seven days: whosoever has killed any person, and whosoever has touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
20 También purifiquen toda su ropa y cualquier cosa hecha de cuero, pelo de cabra o madera”.
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 El sacerdote Eleazar dijo a los soldados que habían ido a la batalla: “Estos son los preceptos legales que el Señor ha ordenado llevar a cabo a Moisés:
And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22 Todo lo que esté hecho de oro, plata, bronce, hierro, estaño y plomo,
Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 todo lo que no se queme, debe ser puesto al fuego para que quede limpio. Pero todavía tiene que ser purificado usando agua de purificación. Todo lo que se quema debe ser pasado por el agua.
Every thing that may abide the fire, all of you 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 abides not the fire all of you shall make go through the water.
24 Lava tu ropa en el séptimo día y estarás limpio. Entonces podrás entrar en el campamento”.
And all of you shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and all of you shall be clean, and afterward all of you shall come into the camp.
25 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
26 “Tú, el sacerdote Eleazar, y los líderes de la familia israelita deben tomar un registro de las personas y animales que fueron capturados.
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 Luego divídanlos entre las tropas que entraron en batalla y el resto de los israelitas.
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 Tomen como contribución al Señor de lo que se asigna a las tropas que fueron a la batalla una de cada quinientas personas, ganado, asnos u ovejas.
And levy a tribute unto the Lord 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 Tomen esto de su media parte y denlo al sacerdote Eleazar como ofrenda al Señor.
Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
30 “De los israelitas; la mitad de la parte, toma una de cada cincuenta personas, ganado, asnos u ovejas, u otros animales, y dáselos a los levitas que cuidan del Tabernáculo del Señor”.
And of the children of Israel's half, you shall 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 the LORD.
31 Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar hicieron lo que el Señor había ordenado a Moisés.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 Esta era la lista de los botines que quedaban y que habían sido saqueados por las tropas: 675.000 ovejas,
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 72.000 vacas,
And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 61.000 burros,
And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 y 32.000 vírgenes.
And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36 Esta era la mitad de los que habían ido a luchar: 337.500 ovejas,
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 con una contribución para el Señor de 675
And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
38 36.000 bovinos, con una contribución para el Señor de 72,
And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.
39 30.500 burros, con una contribución para el Señor de 61,
And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
40 y 16.000 personas, con una contribución para el Señor de 32.
And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.
41 Moisés dio la contribución al sacerdote Eleazar como ofrenda al Señor, como el Señor había ordenado a Moisés.
And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42 La mitad de la parte de los israelitas se fue después de que Moisés diera la mitad de la parte a las tropas que habían ido a luchar,
And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43 consistió en: 337.500 ovejas,
(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 36.000 vacas,
And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 30.500 burros,
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46 y 16.000 personas.
And sixteen thousand persons; )
47 Moisés tomó de la mitad de los israelitas una de cada cincuenta personas y animales y les dio los levitas que cuidan del Tabernáculo del Señor, como el Señor le había ordenado.
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 the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
48 Los oficiales del ejército, los comandantes de millares y los comandantes de centenas, se acercaron a Moisés
And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
49 y le dijeron: “Nosotros, tus siervos, hemos comprobado las tropas que mandamos y no falta ni un solo hombre.
And they said unto Moses, Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacks not one man of us.
50 Así que hemos traído al Señor una ofrenda de los objetos de oro que cada hombre recibió: brazaletes, pulseras, anillos, pendientes y collares, para que podamos estar bien ante el Señor”.
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man has got, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
51 El sacerdote Moisés y Eleazar aceptaron de ellos todos los objetos de oro.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
52 El oro que los comandantes de miles y cientos de personas dieron como ofrenda al Señor pesaba en total 16.750 siclos.
And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 (Los hombres que habían luchado en la batalla habían tomado cada uno un botín para sí mismos).
(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
54 Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar aceptaron el oro de los comandantes de miles y cientos y lo llevaron al Tabernáculo de Reunión como ofrenda conmemorativa para los israelitas en presencia del Señor.
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 the LORD.
