Números 31
1 Yavé habló a Moisés:
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 Toma venganza completa de los hijos de Israel contra los madianitas. Después serás reunido a tu pueblo.
Execute the vengeance of the children of Israel on the Midianites, after which thou shalt be gathered unto thy people.
3 Entonces Moisés habló al pueblo: Armen a algunos hombres de entre ustedes para la guerra, y vayan contra Madián para ejecutar la venganza de Yavé contra Madián.
And Moses spoke unto the people, saying, Arm from yourselves some men for the army, and let them go against the Midianites, to execute the vengeance of the Lord on Midian.
4 Enviarán a la guerra 1.000 de cada tribu, de todas las tribus de los hijos de Israel.
A thousand each for every tribe, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the army.
5 Así fueron dados de los millares de Israel 1.000 de cada tribu, 12.000 en pie de guerra.
And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for the army.
6 Moisés los envió a la guerra, 1.000 de cada tribu. Finees, hijo del sacerdote Eleazar, fue con ellos, con los objetos sagrados y con las trompetas en su mano para la alarma.
And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the army; them and Phinehas the son of Elazar the priest, to the army, with the holy vessels, and the trumpets for blowing the alarm in his hand.
7 Como Yavé ordenó a Moisés, hicieron guerra contra Madián y mataron a todos los varones.
And they marched out against the Midianites, as the Lord had commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
8 Entre el resto de los muertos, mataron también a los reyes de Madián: Evi, Requem, Zur, Hur y Reba, cinco reyes de Madián. También mataron a espada a Balaam, hijo de Beor.
And the kings of Midian they slew, besides the rest of their men that were slain; namely, Evi and Rekem, and Zur, and Chur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; and Bil'am the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 Los hijos de Israel tomaron cautivas a las mujeres de los madianitas, a sus pequeños, todo su ganado y todos sus rebaños. Arrebataron toda su riqueza.
And the children of Israel took captives the women of Midian, and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took as spoil.
10 Incendiaron también todas sus ciudades, aldeas y campamentos.
And all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their castles they burnt with fire.
11 Tomaron todo el despojo y todo el botín, tanto de personas como de animales.
And they took all the spoil, and all the booty, both of men and of cattle.
12 Llevaron a los cautivos, el botín y el despojo a Moisés, al sacerdote Eleazar y a la congregación de los hijos de Israel, al campamento en las llanuras de Moab que están junto al Jordán, frente a Jericó.
And they brought unto Moses, and to Elazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, the captives, and the booty, and the spoil, unto the camp, to the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan opposite Jericho.
13 Entonces Moisés, el sacerdote Eleazar y todos los jefes de la congregación salieron a recibirlos en las afueras del campamento.
And Moses, and Elazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them, to without the camp.
14 Moisés se enojó contra los oficiales del ejército, los jefes de miles y jefes de cientos que regresaron del servicio en la guerra.
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains over the thousands, and the captains over the hundreds, who had come from the war-campaign.
15 Moisés les preguntó: ¿Dejaron con vida a todas las mujeres?
And Moses said unto them, Have ye allowed all the females to live?
16 ¡Miren! Ellas fueron las que, por consejo de Balaam, indujeron a los hijos de Israel a apostatar de Yavé en el asunto de Peor, por lo cual hubo mortandad en la congregación de Yavé.
Behold, these chiefly were the cause unto the children of Israel, through the counsel of Bil'am, to commit the gross trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor; through which there was the plague among the congregation of the Lord.
17 Ahora, pues, maten a todos los varones entre los niños de ellas y maten a toda mujer que tuvo contacto carnal con varón.
And now kill ye every male among the little ones, and every woman that hath known man by lying with him shall ye kill.
18 Pero dejen con vida a todas las jóvenes que no tuvieron contacto carnal con varón.
But all among the women-children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
19 En cuanto a ustedes, permanezcan fuera del campamento durante siete días. Todos los que mataron a una persona, y los que tocaron un cadáver, se purificarán en el tercero y el séptimo día, tanto ustedes como sus prisioneros.
But ye, —you must abide without the camp seven days: all ye who have killed any person, and all who have touched any one slain, shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day; both you and your captives.
20 Purifiquen también toda ropa, todo objeto de piel, toda obra de pelo de cabra y todo utensilio de madera.
And every garment, and whatever is made of skins, and every work of goats' hair, and every vessel made of wood, shall ye purify unto yourselves.
21 El sacerdote Eleazar dijo a los hombres del ejército que llegaron de la guerra: Este es el estatuto de la Ley que Yavé mandó a Moisés:
And Elazar the priest said unto the men of the army who had gone to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded Moses:
22 Solo el oro, la plata, el bronce, el hierro, el estaño y el plomo,
Nevertheless the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 todo lo que resiste el fuego, lo harán pasar por fuego y será puro. Sin embargo será purificado con las aguas para limpiar la impureza. Todo lo que no resista el fuego, lo harán pasar por el agua.
Every thing that cometh into the fire shall ye make go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the waters of sprinkling: and whatsoever doth not come into the fire shall ye cause to go through the water.
24 El día séptimo lavarán sus ropas y quedarán puros. Después podrán entrar en el campamento.
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and after that may ye come into the camp.
25 También Yavé habló a Moisés:
And the Lord said unto Moses, as followeth,
26 Tú, el sacerdote Eleazar y los jefes de las casas paternas de la congregación hagan el recuento del botín que se capturó, tanto de personas como de animales.
Take the sum of the booty of the captives, both of man and of cattle, thou, with Elazar the priest, and the chiefs of the families of the congregation:
27 Dividirás por mitad el botín entre los combatientes que fueron a la guerra y toda la congregación.
And thou shalt divide the booty, between those that carried on the war, who went out to the army, and between all the congregation.
28 Como tributo de los guerreros que salieron a la batalla, toma tú un tributo para Yavé, que será de uno por cada 500, tanto de las personas como del ganado vacuno, los asnos, y las ovejas.
And thou shalt levy a tribute unto the Lord from the men of war who went out to the army, one individual from every five hundred, of the persons, and of the beef-cattle, and of the asses, and of the sheep;
29 Toma la mitad de ello y la darás al sacerdote Eleazar como ofrenda alzada para Yavé.
From their half shall ye take it; and thou shalt give it unto Elazar the priest, for a heave-offering of the Lord.
30 Y de la mitad que corresponde a los hijos de Israel tomarás uno de cada 50, tanto de personas como del ganado vacuno, los asnos, las ovejas y todo animal, y los entregarás a los levitas encargados del servicio del Tabernáculo de Yavé.
And from the half of the children of Israel, shalt thou take one individual, as it may come, from any fifty, of the persons, of beef-cattle, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of cattle; and thou shalt give the same unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.
31 Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar hicieron como Yavé ordenó a Moisés.
And Moses with Elazar the priest did, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 El resto del botín que quedó como despojo de los guerreros fue: 675.000 ovejas,
And the booty, being the rest of the spoil which the men of the army had taken, was of sheep and goats, six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand,
33 72.000 cabezas de ganado vacuno,
And of beef-cattle, seventy and two thousand,
34 y 71.000 asnos.
And of asses, sixty and one thousand,
35 En cuanto a personas, de mujeres que no tuvieron contacto carnal con varón, fueron en total 32.000.
And of human persons, of women that had not known men by lying with him, in all thirty and two thousand.
36 La mitad o porción de los que salieron a la guerra, fue: 336.500 ovejas,

41 Entonces Moisés entregó el tributo al sacerdote Eleazar como ofrenda alzada a Yavé, como Yavé ordenó a Moisés.
And Moses gave the tribute, the Lord's heave-offering, unto Elazar the priest, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
42 En cuanto a la mitad correspondiente a los hijos de Israel, que Moisés separó de la de los guerreros,
And from the half of the children of Israel, which Moses divided off from the men that had gone forth in the army, —
43 esa mitad de la congregación fue: 336.500 ovejas,
(Now the half of the congregation was, of sheep and goats three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred.
44 ganado vacuno: 36.000,
And beef-cattle, thirty and six thousand,

47 De la mitad que correspondía a los hijos de Israel, Moisés tomó uno de cada 50, así de las personas como de los animales, y los entregó a los levitas que tenían la custodia del Tabernáculo de Yavé, como Yavé ordenó a Moisés.
And Moses took from this half of the children of Israel, as it came, one from every fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave the same unto the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
48 Entonces los jefes de las unidades del ejército, comandantes de miles y comandantes de cientos acudieron a Moisés,
And there came near unto Moses the officers who had been over the thousands of the army, the captains of the thousands, and the captains of the hundreds.
49 y le dijeron: Tus esclavos contaron los hombres de combate que están bajo nuestro mando, y nadie de nosotros falta.
And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who have been under our command, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 Así presentamos una ofrenda ante Yavé, cada uno lo que ganó en objetos de oro: brazaletes, pulseras, anillos, pendientes y collares, para hacer sacrificio que apacigua por nosotros delante de Yavé.
We have therefore brought an oblation unto the Lord, each what he hath gotten of vessels of gold, chains, and bracelets, finger-rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord.
51 Moisés y el sacerdote Eleazar recibieron de ellos el oro y toda clase de objetos labrados.

And Moses and Elazar the priest took the gold from the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, as a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.
