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.”
Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou 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 spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves for the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD on Midian.
4 Kwa kila kabila la Israeli watatuma askari elfu moja kwa ajili ya vita.”
Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send 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.
So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of [every] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
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 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 Wakapigana na Midiani, kama BWANA alivyokuwa amemwamuru Musa. Wakamwua kila mwanaume.
And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
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 they slew the kings of Midian, besides 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 Jeshi la Israeli likawachukua mateka wanawake wa Midiani, watoto wao, mifugo yao yote, kondoo wao na bidhaa zao zote. walivichukua hivi kama mateka.
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 Waliichoma moto miji yao yote walimoishi na kambi zao zote.
And they burnt all their cities in which they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
11 Walichukua vitu vyote na wafungwa, watu na wanyama.
And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, [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 the captives, and the prey, and the spoil to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan [near] 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 congregation, 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 was wroth with the officers of the host, [with] the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle.
15 Musa akawaambia, “Je, mmeawaacha wanawake wote kuishi?
And Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
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.
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 Sasa basi, ueni kila mwanaume kuanzia wadogo, na ueni kila mwanamke aliyelala na mwanamume.
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18 Lakini chukueni wale mabinti wadogo ambao hawajalala na mwanamume.
But all the female children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive 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 do ye abide without the camp seven days: whoever hath killed any person, and whoever hath touched any slain, purify [both] yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on 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 purify all [your] raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' [hair], and all things made of wood.
21 Eliazarai kuahani akawaambia wale wanajeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani, “Hii ni amri ya sheria ambayo BWANA alimpa Musa:
And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
22 Zile dhahabu, fedha, vyuma, bati, risasi,
Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
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.
Every thing that may abide the fire, ye 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 abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
24 Na mtazifua nguao zenu katika siku ya saba, ndipo mtakapokuwa safi. Baada ya hapo mnaweza kurudi kwenye kambi za Israeli.”
And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
25 Kisha BWANA akanena na Musa, akamwambia,
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
26 “Vihesabu vitu vyote vilivyochukuliwa nyara, wote watu na wanyama. Wewe, Eliazari kuhani, na viongozi wa watu kufuata koo
Take the sum of the prey that was taken, [both] of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
27 watavigawa hivi vitu katika mkundi mawili. Mvigawe kwa wanajeshi walioenda kupigana na kwa watu wote.
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 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 levy a tribute to the LORD of the men of war who 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 Uichukue hii kodi kutoka katika nusu yao na umpe Eliazari kuhani kwa ajili ya sadaka itakayotolewa kwangu.
Take [it] of their half, and give [it] to Eleazar the priest, [for] a heave-offering 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.”
And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt 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 to the Levites, who keep 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 the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 Sasa zile nyara zilizokuwa zimebaki ambazo wanajeshi walikuwa wameteka zilikuwa kondoo 675, 000,
And the booty, [being] the rest of the prey which the men of war had taken, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 maksai elfu sabini na mbili,
And seventy two thousand beeves,
34 punda elfu sitini na moja,
And sixty one thousand asses,
35 na wanawake elfu thelathini na mbili ambao walikuwa hawajalala na mwanamume yeyote.
And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
36 Ile hesabu ya nusu iliyokuwa imetunzwa kwa ajili ya wanajeshi ilikuwa kondoo 337, 000. Ile sehemu ya
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 BWANA ya kondoo ilikuwa kondoo 675.
And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and seventy five.
38 Maksai walikuwa elfu thelathini na sita ambayo kodi ya BWANA ilikuwa sabini na mbili.
And the beeves [were] thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] seventy two.
39 Punda walikuwa 30, 500 ambao sehemu ya BWANA ilikuwa sitini na moja.
And the asses [were] thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD'S tribute [was] sixty one.
40 Watu walikuwa wanawake elfu kumi na sita ambao kodi ya BWANA ilikuwa thelathini na mbili.
And the persons [were] sixteen thousand, of which the LORD'S tribute [was] thirty and two persons.
41 Musa aliichukua ile kodi ambayo ilitakiwa kuwekwa sadaka kwa BWANA. Akampatia Eliazari kuhani, kama BWANA alivyomwamuru Musa.
And Moses gave the tribute, [which was] the LORD'S heave-offering, to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
42 Ile nusu ya watu wa Israeli ambayo Musa alikuwa ameichukua toka kwa wanawjeshi waliokuwa wameenda vitani -
And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
43 ile nusu y a watu ilikuwa kondoo 337, 500,
(Now the half [that pertained to] the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand [and] seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
44 maksai elfu thelathini na sita,
And thirty and six thousand beeves,
45 punda 30, 500,
And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
46 na wanawake elfu kumi na sita.
And 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.
Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, [both] of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
48 Kisha wale maakida wa jeshi, makamanda wa elfu na makapteni wa mamia, wakaja kwa Musa.
And the officers who [were] over thousands of the hosts, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses:
49 Wakamwambia, “watumishi wako wamewahesabu wanajeshi ambao wako chini yetu, hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyekosa.
And they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who [are] under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
50 Tumemletea BWANA sadaka, ambayo kila mmoja amepata, vitu vya dhahabu, metali, timbi, pete za mhuri, vipini na vikuku, ili kujifanyia upatanisho kwa BWANA.”
We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath obtained of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, ear-rings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
51 Musa na Eliazari kuhani akapokea kutoka kwao dhahabu na vitu vyote vilivyotengenezwa kwa ufundi.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, [even] all wrought jewels.
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.
And all the gold of the offering that they offered to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
53 Kila mwanajeshi alikuwa ameteka nyara ya kila mtu kwa ajili yake.
([For] the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
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 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.
