Hesabu 31
1 BWANA alinena na Musa na kumwambia,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Uwalipizie kisasi Wamidiani kwa kile walichowafanya Waisraeli. Baada ya kufanya hivyo utakufa na kukusanyika na watu wako.”
Revenge first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so thou shalt be gathered to thy people.
3 Kwa hiyo Musa akawaambia watu. Akasema, “andaeni baadhi ya majeshi yenu kwa ajili ya vita ili kwamba wakawapige Wamidiani na kubeba kiapo cha BWANA.
And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites.
4 Kwa kila kabila la Israeli watatuma askari elfu moja kwa ajili ya vita.”
Let a thousand men be chosen out of every tribe of Israel to be sent to the war.
5 Kwa hiyo kati ya wanaume maelfu elfu wa Israeli, wanaume elfu moja walitolewa kwa ajili ya vita, jumla ya wanaume elfu kumi na mbili.
And they gave a thousand of every tribe, that is to say, twelve thousand men well appointed for battle.
6 Kisha Musa akawatuma kwenda vitani, elfu moja toka kila kabila pamoja na Finehasi mwana wa Eliazari kuhanai, wakiwa na vitu kutoka mahali patakatifu wakiwa na matarumbeta kwa ajili ya ishara za sauti.
And Moses sent them with Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest, and he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.
7 Wakapigana na Midiani, kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru Musa. Wakamwua kila mwanaume.
And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men.
8 Wakawaua wafalme wa Midiani pamoja na wengine waliowaua ni: Evi, Rekimu, Zuri, Huri, na Reba, hawa walaikuwa ndio waflme watano wa Midiani. pia walimwua Balaamu mwana wa Beori, kwa upanga.
And their kings Evi, and Recem, and Sur, and Hur, and Rebe, five princes of the nation: Balaam also the son of Beer they killed with the sword.
9 Jeshi la Israeli likawachukua mateka wanawake wa Midiani, watoto wao, mifugo yao yote, kondoo wao na bidhaa zao zote. walivichukua hivi kama mateka.
And they took their women, and their children captives, and all their cattle, and all their goods: and all their possessions they plundered:
10 Waliichoma moto miji yao yote walimoishi na kambi zao zote.
And all their cities, and their villages, and castles, they burned.
11 Walichukua vitu vyote na wafungwa, watu na wanyama.
And they carried away the booty, and all that they had taken both of men and of beasts.
12 Wakawaleta mateka, nyara, na wakakamata vitu wakavileta kwa Musa, na Eliazari kuhani, na kwa jamii ya watu wa Israeli. Wakavileta hivi vitu kambini katika uwanda wa Moabu, kule Yorodani karibu na Yeriko.
And they brought them to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the children of Israel. But the rest of the things for use they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan over against Jericho.
13 Musa, Eliazari kuhani, pamoja na viongozi wa watu wakaenda kukutana nao nje ya kambi.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp.
14 Lakini Musa alikuwa na hasira dhidi ya viongozi wa jeshi, Wale majemedari wa maelfu na maakida wa mamia, waliotoka kupigana.
And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle,
15 Musa akawaambia, “Je, mmeawaacha wanawake wote kuishi?
Said: Why have you saved the women?
16 Tazama, wanawake hawa ndio waliosababisha watu wa Israeli, kwa kupitia ushauri wa Balaamu, kufanya dhambi dhidi ya BWANA huko Peori, wakati ile tauni iliposambaa kwa watu wa Mungu.
Are not these they, that deceived the children of Israel by the counsel of Balaam, and made you transgress against the Lord by the sin of Phogor, for which also the people was punished?
17 Sasa basi, ueni kila mwanaume kuanzia wadogo, na ueni kila mwanamke aliyelala na mwanamume.
Therefore kill all that are of the male sex, even of the children: and put to death the women, that have carnally known men.
18 Lakini chukueni wale mabinti wadogo ambao hawajalala na mwanamume.
But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:
19 Mtaweka kambi nje na kambi za Israeli kwa muda wa siku saba. Ninyi wote ambao mmeua watu au ambao mmegusa maiti yeyote mtajitakasa wenyewe katika siku ya tatu na katika siku ya saba - ninyi na mateka wenu.
And stay without the camp seven days. He that hath killed a man, or touched one that is killed, shall be purified the third day and the seventh day.
20 Na mtayatakasa mavazi yenu yote, na kila kitu kilichotengenezwa kwa ngozi za wanyama, na manyoya ya mbuzi, na kila kitu kilichotengenezwa kwa mbao.”
And of all the spoil, every garment, or vessel, or any thing made for use, of the skins, or hair of goats, or of wood, shall be purified.
21 Eliazarai kuahani akawaambia wale wanajeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani, “Hii ni amri ya sheria ambayo BWANA alimpa Musa:
Eleazar also the priest spoke to the men of the army, that had fought, in this manner: This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord hath commanded Moses:
22 Zile dhahabu, fedha, vyuma, bati, risasi,
Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lend, and tin,
23 na kila kitu knaweza kuhhimili moto, mtakiweka katka moto, navyo vitakuwa safi. Nakisha mtavitakasa vitu hivyo na maji ya farakano. Na vitu vyote ambavyo haviwezi kupita katika moto, mtavitakasa kwa maji hayo.
And all that may pass through the fire, shall be purified by fire, but whatsoever cannot abide the fire, shall be sanctified with the water of expiation:
24 Na mtazifua nguao zenu katika siku ya saba, ndipo mtakapokuwa safi. Baada ya hapo mnaweza kurudi kwenye kambi za Israeli.”
And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp.
25 Kisha BWANA akanena na Musa, akamwambia,
And the Lord said to Moses:
26 “Vihesabu vitu vyote vilivyochukuliwa nyara, wote watu na wanyama. Wewe, Eliazari kuhani, na viongozi wa watu kufuata koo
Take the sum of the things that were taken both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest and the princes of the multitude:
27 watavigawa hivi vitu katika mkundi mawili. Mvigawe kwa wanajeshi walioenda kupigana na kwa watu wote.
And thou shalt divide the spoil equally, between them that fought and went out to the war, and between the rest of the multitude.
28 Kisha toza kodi ambayo itatolewa kwangu kutoka kwa wanajeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani. Hii kodi itakuwa moja kati ya mia tano, katika watu, ng'ombe, punda, kondoo, au mbuzi.
And thou shalt separate a portion to the Lord from them that fought and were in the battle, one soul of five hundred as well of persons as of oxen and asses and sheep.
29 Uichukue hii kodi kutoka katika nusu yao na umpe Eliazari kuhani kwa ajili ya sadaka itakayotolewa kwangu.
And thou shalt give it to Eleazar the priest, because they are the firstfruits of the Lord.
30 Pia kutoka katika nusu ya watu wa Israeli, utachukua moja kati ya hamsini -kutoka vitu, ng'ombe, punda, na mbuzi. Uvitoe hivi kwa Walawi wanaotumika katika masikani yangu.”
Out of the moiety also of the children of Israel thou shalt take the fiftieth head of persons, and of oxen, and asses, and sheep, and of all beasts, and thou shalt give them to the Levites that watch in the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.
31 Kwa hiyo Musa na Eliazari kuhani wakafanya kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru Musa.
And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded.
32 Sasa zile nyara zilizokuwa zimebaki ambazo wanajeshi walikuwa wameteka zilikuwa kondoo 675, 000,
And the spoil which the army had taken, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
33 maksai elfu sabini na mbili,
Seventy-two thousand oxen,
34 punda elfu sitini na moja,
Sixty-one thousand asses:
35 na wanawake elfu thelathini na mbili ambao walikuwa hawajalala na mwanamume yeyote.
And thirty-two thousand persons of the female sex, that had not known men.
36 Ile hesabu ya nusu iliyokuwa imetunzwa kwa ajili ya wanajeshi ilikuwa kondoo 337, 000. Ile sehemu ya
And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
37 BWANA ya kondoo ilikuwa kondoo 675.
Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy-five sheep.
38 Maksai walikuwa elfu thelathini na sita ambayo kodi ya BWANA ilikuwa sabini na mbili.
And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen:
39 Punda walikuwa 30, 500 ambao sehemu ya BWANA ilikuwa sitini na moja.
Out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, sixty-one asses:
40 Watu walikuwa wanawake elfu kumi na sita ambao kodi ya BWANA ilikuwa thelathini na mbili.
Out of the sixteen thousand persons, there fell to the portion of the Lord, thirty-two souls.
41 Musa aliichukua ile kodi ambayo ilitakiwa kuwekwa sadaka kwa BWANA. Akampatia Eliazari kuhani, kama BWANA alivyomwamuru Musa.
And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him,
42 Ile nusu ya watu wa Israeli ambayo Musa alikuwa ameichukua toka kwa wanawjeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani -
Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle.
43 ile nusu y a watu ilikuwa kondoo 337, 500,
But out of the half that fell to the rest of the multitude, that is to say, out of the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
44 maksai elfu thelathini na sita,
And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen,
45 punda 30, 500,
And out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses,
46 na wanawake elfu kumi na sita.
And out of the sixteen thousand persons,
47 Kutoka kwenye nusu ya watu wa Israeli, Musa alichukua moja katika hamsini, wote watu na wanyama. Aliwapa Walawi ambao huitumikia masikani ya BWANA, kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru kufanya.
Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites that watched in the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded.
48 Kisha wale maakida wa jeshi, makamanda wa elfu na makapteni wa mamia, wakaja kwa Musa.
And when the commanders of the army, and the tribunes and centurions were come to Moses, they said:
49 Wakamwambia, “watumishi wako wamewahesabu wanajeshi ambao wako chini yetu, hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyekosa.
We thy servants have reckoned up the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and not so much as one was wanting.
50 Tumemletea BWANA sadaka, ambayo kila mmoja amepata, vitu vya dhahabu, metali, timbi, pete za mhuri, vipini na vikuku, ili kujifanyia upatanisho kwa BWANA.”
Therefore we offer as gifts to the Lord what gold every one of us could find in the booty, in garters and tablets, rings and bracelets, and chains, that thou mayst pray to the Lord for us.
51 Musa na Eliazari kuhani akapokea kutoka kwao dhahabu na vitu vyote vilivyotengenezwa kwa ufundi.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds,
52 Vitu vyote vya sadaka ya dhahabu ambavyo walimpa BWANA- sadaka toka kwa makamanda wa maelfu na kutoka kwa makepteni wa mamia - vilikuwa na uzito wa shekeli 16, 750.
In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions.
53 Kila mwanajeshi alikuwa ameteka nyara ya kila mtu kwa ajili yake.
For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own.
54 Musa na Eliazari kuhani wakazichukuazile dhahabu toka kwa makamanda wa maelfu na makepteni wa mamia. Wakavipeleka kwenye hema ya kukutania kama ukumbusho wa watu wa Israeli kwa BWANA.
And that which was received they brought into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
