Hesabu 31
1 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Uwalipize kisasi Wamidiani kwa ajili ya Waisraeli. Halafu baada ya hayo, utakufa.”
Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.
3 Kwa hiyo Mose akawaambia watu, “Waandaeni baadhi ya wanaume wenu waende vitani kupigana na Wamidiani ili wawalipize kisasi cha Bwana.
And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian.
4 Peleka wanaume 1,000 vitani kutoka kila kabila la Israeli.”
Of every tribe a thousand, of all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5 Kwa hiyo waliandaliwa wanaume 12,000 kwa vita, wanaume 1,000 kutoka kila kabila, walitolewa kutoka koo za Israeli.
And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Mose aliwatuma vitani, watu 1,000 kutoka kila kabila, pamoja na Finehasi mwana wa kuhani Eleazari, ambaye alichukua vyombo vya mahali patakatifu na tarumbeta za kuashiria.
And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand.
7 Walipigana dhidi ya Wamidiani, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose, nao waliua kila mwanaume.
And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males.
8 Miongoni mwa watu waliouawa walikuwepo wafalme watano wa Midiani, nao ni Evi, Rekemu, Suri, Huri na Reba. Vilevile walimuua Balaamu mwana wa Beori kwa upanga.
And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 Waisraeli waliwateka wanawake wa Kimidiani pamoja na watoto wao na walichukua makundi ya ngʼombe, kondoo na mali zao kama nyara.
And the children of Israel took the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took for a spoil all their cattle and all their flocks and all their goods;
10 Walichoma moto miji yote ambayo Wamidiani walikuwa wanaishi, pamoja na kambi zao zote.
and all their cities in their settlements and all their encampments they burned with fire.
11 Walichukua nyara zote na mateka, pamoja na watu na wanyama,
And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle;
12 nao waliwaleta wafungwa mateka na nyara kwa Mose na kwa kuhani Eleazari, nao Waisraeli walikusanyika kwenye kambi zao katika tambarare za nchi ya Moabu, kando ya Yordani ngʼambo ya Yeriko.
and they brought to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan of Jericho.
13 Mose, kuhani Eleazari na viongozi wote wa jumuiya wakatoka kuwalaki nje ya kambi.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp.
14 Mose aliwakasirikia maafisa wa jeshi, yaani hao wakuu wa jeshi wa maelfu na wakuu wa jeshi wa mamia, ambao walirudi kutoka vitani.
And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, with the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war;
15 Mose akawauliza, “Je, mmewaacha wanawake wote hai?”
and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
16 “Wanawake hao ndio waliofuata ushauri wa Balaamu, nao ndio waliowasababisha Waisraeli wamwasi Bwana kwa kile kilichotokea kule Peori, na kwa hiyo pigo liliwapata watu wa Bwana.
Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah.
17 Sasa waue wavulana wote. Pia muue kila mwanamke ambaye alikwisha fanya tendo la ndoa,
And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him,
18 lakini mwacheni hai kwa ajili yenu kila msichana ambaye kamwe hajawahi kuzini na mwanaume.
but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
19 “Ninyi nyote ambao mmeua mtu yeyote au kumgusa mtu yeyote ambaye ameuawa, lazima mkae nje ya kambi kwa muda wa siku saba. Katika siku ya tatu na ya saba lazima mjitakase wenyewe pamoja na wafungwa wenu.
And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
20 Takaseni kila vazi pamoja na kila kitu kilichotengenezwa kwa ngozi, kwa singa za mbuzi au kwa mti.”
And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.
21 Kisha kuhani Eleazari aliwaambia askari waliokuwa wamekwenda vitani, “Haya ndiyo matakwa ya sheria ambayo Bwana alimpa Mose:
And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had gone to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
22 Dhahabu, fedha, shaba, chuma, bati, risasi,
Only the gold, and the silver, the copper, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
23 na kitu kingine chochote ambacho kinaweza kuhimili moto lazima mkipitishe kwenye moto, kisha kitakuwa safi. Lakini ni lazima pia kitakaswe kwa maji ya utakaso. Kitu chochote kisichoweza kuhimili moto lazima kipitishwe kwenye yale maji ya utakaso.
everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through the water.
24 Katika siku ya saba fueni nguo zenu, nanyi mtakuwa safi. Kisha mtaweza kuingia kambini.”
And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.
25 Bwana akamwambia Mose,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
26 “Wewe na kuhani Eleazari pamoja na viongozi wa jamaa ya jumuiya mtahesabu watu wote na wanyama ambao walitekwa.
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly;
27 Gawanyeni hizo nyara kati ya askari ambao walishiriki katika vita na kwa jumuiya.
and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly.
28 Kutoka fungu la wale waliokwenda kupigana vitani, tenga kama ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana kitu kimoja kati ya kila mia tano, ikiwa ni wanadamu, ngʼombe, punda, kondoo au mbuzi.
And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle.
29 Chukua ushuru huu kutoka fungu lao, umpe kuhani Eleazari kama sehemu ya Bwana.
Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah.
30 Kutoka fungu la Waisraeli, chukua kitu kimoja kati ya kila hamsini, ikiwa ni wanadamu, ngʼombe, punda, kondoo, mbuzi au wanyama wengine. Hivyo uwape Walawi, ambao wanawajibika kutunza Maskani ya Bwana.”
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the small cattle, of every [kind of] beasts, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.
31 Kwa hiyo Mose na kuhani Eleazari wakafanya kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
32 Nyara zilizobaki kutoka mateka ambayo askari walichukua ni kondoo 675,000,
And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 ngʼombe 72,000,
and seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 punda 61,000,
and sixty-one thousand asses,
35 na wanawake 32,000 ambao hawakumjua mume kwa kufanya tendo la ndoa.
and of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.
36 Nusu ya fungu la wale waliokwenda kupigana vitani lilikuwa: Kondoo 337,500
And the half, the portion of them that had gone out to the war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
37 ambayo ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana ilikuwa kondoo 675;
and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;
38 ngʼombe 36,000 ambao ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana ulikuwa ngʼombe 72;
and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;
39 punda 30,500 ambao ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana ulikuwa punda 61;
and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;
40 Watu 16,000 ambao ushuru kwa ajili ya Bwana ulikuwa watu 32.
and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.
41 Mose alimpa kuhani Eleazari ushuru kama sehemu ya Bwana, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza Mose.
And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
42 Ile nusu iliyokuwa ya Waisraeli, ambayo Mose aliitenga kutoka kwa ile ya watu waliokwenda vitani,
And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had divided, [taking it] from the men that served in the war,
43 nusu iliyokuwa ya jumuiya, ilikuwa kondoo 337,500,
(now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred,
44 ngʼombe 36,000,
and thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 punda 30,500,
and thirty thousand five hundred asses,
46 na wanadamu 16,000.
and sixteen thousand human persons, )
47 Kutoka hiyo nusu iliyokuwa ya Waisraeli, Mose alichagua moja kati ya kila hamsini ya wanadamu na wanyama, kama Bwana alivyomwagiza, naye aliwapa Walawi, ambao waliwajibika kutunza Maskani ya Bwana.
...of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
48 Kisha maafisa waliokuwa juu ya vikosi vya jeshi, wakuu wa jeshi wa maelfu na wakuu wa jeshi wa mamia, walimwendea Mose
And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,
49 na kumwambia, “Watumishi wako wamehesabu askari walio chini ya amri yetu na hakuna hata mmoja aliyekosekana.
and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one man of us lacking.
50 Kwa hiyo tumeleta kama sadaka kwa Bwana vyombo vya dhahabu kila mmoja wetu alivyopata, yaani vikuku, bangili, pete za muhuri, vipuli na mikufu, ili kufanya upatanisho kwa ajili yetu mbele za Bwana.”
So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah.
51 Mose na kuhani Eleazari wakapokea kutoka kwao dhahabu, yaani vyombo vyote vilivyonakshiwa.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, all manner of wrought jewels.
52 Dhahabu yote kutoka kwa wakuu wa jeshi wa maelfu na wakuu wa jeshi wa mamia ambavyo Mose na kuhani Eleazari walimletea Bwana kama zawadi ilikuwa shekeli 16,750
And all the gold of the heave-offering that they offered to Jehovah was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.
53 Kila askari alikuwa amejichukulia nyara zake binafsi.
(The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.)
54 Mose na kuhani Eleazari walipokea dhahabu kutoka kwa wakuu wa jeshi wa maelfu na wakuu wa jeshi wa mamia, wakazileta katika Hema la Kukutania kama ukumbusho kwa Waisraeli mbele za Bwana.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting, as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.
