Nomipā 31

1 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Totongi ki he kau Mitiane koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea hili ia ʻe tānaki ko e ki ho kakai.”

Avenge the wrongs of the children of Israel on the Madianites, and afterwards you shall be added to your people.

3 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Mōsese ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “Teu ʻa homou niʻihi ki he tau, pea tuku ʻakinautolu ke nau ō ki he kau Mitiane, ke totongi ʻa Sihova ki Mitiane.

And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm some of you, and set yourselves in array before the Lord against Madian, to inflict vengeance on Madian from the Lord.

4 Ko e toko afe ʻi he faʻahinga taki taha ke mou fekau ki he tau ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.”

Send a thousand of each tribe from all the tribes of the children of Israel to set themselves in array.

5 Pea ko ia naʻe tukuange ai ʻi he ngaahi toko afe ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae toko afe mei he faʻahinga taki taha kotoa pē, ko e tokotaha mano ma toko ua afe kuo toʻo mahafu ke tau.

And they numbered of the thousands of Israel a thousand of [each] tribe, twelve thousands; [these were] armed for war.

6 Pea naʻe fekau ʻakinautolu ʻe Mōsese ki he tau, ʻo tautau toko afe mei he faʻahinga taki taha, ʻakinautolu mo Finiasi ko e foha ʻo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ki he tau, mo e ngaahi meʻa toputapu, pea mo e ngaahi meʻalea ʻi hono nima ke ifi ʻaki.

And Moses sent them away a thousand of every tribe with their forces, and Phinees the son of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest: and the holy instruments, and the signal trumpets [were] in their hands.

7 Pea naʻa nau tau ki he kau Mitiane, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese; pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻae kakai tangata fulipē.

And they set themselves in array against Madian, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they killed every male.

8 Pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Mitiane kaeʻumaʻā ʻae kakai kehe naʻe teʻia; ʻaia ko Ivi, mo Lekimi, mo Sua, mo Hua, mo Lepa, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻe toko nima ʻo Mitiane: pea naʻa nau taaʻi foki ʻa Pelami ko e foha ʻo Peoli ʻaki ʻae heletā.

And they killed the kings of Madian together with their slain [subjects]; even Evi and Rocon, and Sur, and Ur, and Roboc, five kings of Madian; and they killed with the sword Balaam the son of Beor with their [other] slain.

9 Pea naʻe taki pōpula ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻae kau fefine kotoa pē ʻo Mitiane, mo ʻenau fānau iiki, pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻenau fanga manu kotoa pē, mo ʻenau fanga sipi kotoa pē, mo ʻenau koloa kotoa pē.

And they made a prey of the women of Madian, and their store, and their cattle, and all their possessions: and they spoiled their forces.

10 Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻenau ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai, pea mo honau ngaahi fale māʻolunga lelei ʻaki ʻae afi.

And they burnt with fire all their cities in the places of their habitation and they burnt their villages with fire.

11 Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae koloa kotoa pē, mo e koloa veteki kotoa pē, ʻae kau tangata mo e fanga manu.

And they took all their plunder, and all their spoils, both man and beast.

12 Pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻae kau pōpula, pea mo e koloa vete, mo e koloa, kia Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kakai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ki he ʻapitanga ʻi he ngaahi toafa ʻo Moape, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Sioatani [ʻo ofi ]ki Seliko.

And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest, and to all the children of Israel, the captives, and the spoils, and the plunder, to the camp to Araboth Moab, which is at Jordan by Jericho.

13 Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, mo e houʻeiki kotoa pē ʻoe kakai, kenau fetaulaki mo kinautolu ki he tuʻa ʻapitanga.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the rulers of the synagogue went forth out of the camp to meet them.

14 Pea naʻe tuputāmaki ʻa Mōsese ki he houʻeiki ʻoe kautau, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻakinautolu naʻe foki mai mei he tau.

And Moses was angry with the captains of the host, the heads of thousands and the heads of hundreds who came from the battle-array.

15 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fakamoʻui ʻae kau fefine kenau moʻui kotoa pē?

And Moses said to them, Why have you saved every female alive?

16 Vakai mai, ko kinautolu eni naʻa nau fakaangahalaʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he akonaki ʻa Pelami, ke fai meʻa kovi kia Sihova ʻi he meʻa ʻa Peoli, pea naʻe hoko ai ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha ki he kakai ʻa Sihova.

For they were [the occasion] to the children of Israel by the word of Balaam of their revolting and despising the word of the Lord, because of Phogor; and there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord.

17 Pea ko eni, tāmateʻi ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki he tamaiki iiki, pea tāmateʻi ʻae fefine kotoa pē kuo ne ʻilo ʻae tangata ʻi heʻena takoto mo ia.

Now then kill every male in all the spoil, kill every woman, who has known the lying with man.

18 Ka ko e tamaiki fefine, ʻoku ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha tangata ke takoto mo ia, ke fakamoʻui maʻamoutolu.

And as for all the captivity of women, who have not known the lying with man, save you them alive.

19 Pea te mou nofo ki he tuʻa ʻapitanga ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu; ko ia kuo ne tāmateʻi ha taha, pea mo ia kuo ala ki he mate, fakamaʻa ʻakimoutolu mo homou kau pōpula ʻi hono ʻaho tolu, pea mo hono ʻaho fitu.

And you shall encamp outside the [great] camp seven days; every one who has slain and who touches a dead body, shall be purified on the third day, and you and your captivity [shall purify yourselves] on the seventh day.

20 Pea fakamaʻa homou ngaahi kofu kotoa pē, pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku ngaohi ʻaki ʻae kiliʻi manu, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fulufulu ʻoe kosi, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ngaohi ʻaki ʻae ʻakau.”

And you shall purify every garment and every leather utensil, and all furniture of goat skin, and every wooden vessel.

21 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ki he kau tangata tau naʻa nau ō ki he tau. “Ko e talatuku eni ʻi he fono ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese;

And Eleazar the priest said to the men of the host that came from the battle-array, This [is] the ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded Moses.

22 Ko e koula, pea mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e tini, pea mo e pulu,

Beside the gold, and the silver, and the brass, and the iron, and lead, and tin,

23 Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne kātaki ʻae afi te mou ʻave ia ki he afi, pea ʻe maʻa ai ia: ka ʻe fakamaʻa ia ʻaki ʻae vai ʻoe fakamavahe: pea mo ia kotoa pē ʻe ʻikai kātaki ʻae afi, te mou ʻave ia ki he vai.

every thing that shall pass through the fire shall so be clean, nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sanctification; and whatever will not pass through the fire shall pass through water.

24 Pea te mou fō homou ngaahi kofu ʻi hono fitu ʻoe ʻaho, pea te mou maʻa ai, pea ka hili ia, te mou ʻomi ki he ʻapitanga.”

And on the seventh day you shall wash your garments, and be clean; and afterwards you shall come into the camp.

25 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

26 “Ke ke lau ʻae koloa ʻaia naʻe maʻu, ʻae tangata mo e manu, ʻe koe, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, pea mo e kau mātuʻa ʻae kakai.

Take the sum of the spoils of the captivity both of man and beast, you and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the families of the congregation.

27 Pea vaeua ʻae koloa ko e ʻinasi ʻe ua ko e taha kiate kinautolu naʻa nau fai ʻae tau, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ke tau, pea ko e taha ki he kakai kotoa pē.

And you shall divide the spoils between the warriors that went out to battle, and the whole congregation.

28 Pea te ke fekau ke ʻomi ʻae tukuhau kia Sihova ʻe he kau tangata tau, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ke tau: ko e tokotaha mei he toko nimangeau ʻi he kakai, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga ʻasi, mo e fanga sipi:

And you shall take a tribute for the Lord from the warriors that went out to battle; one soul out of five hundred, from the men, and from the cattle, even from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses; and you shall take from their half.

29 Ke ʻomi ia mei honau ʻinasi, ʻo foaki ia kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ko e feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova.

And you shall give [them] to Eleazar the priest [as] the first fruits of the Lord.

30 Pea te ke toʻo mei he ʻinasi ʻoe fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli ko e tokotaha ʻi he toko nimangofulu ʻi he kakai, mo e fanga pulu, mo e fanga ʻasi, mo e fanga kosi, mo e faʻahinga manu kotoa pē, pea ʻatu ia ki he kau Livai ʻaia ʻoku tauhi ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova.”

And from the half belonging to the children of Israel you shall take one in fifty from the men, and from the oxen, and from the sheep, and from the asses, and from all the cattle; and you shall give them to the Levites that keep the charges in the tabernacle of the Lord.

31 Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.

32 Pea ko e koloa, ʻi hono toe ʻoe meʻa vete naʻe maʻu ʻe he kau tangata tau, ko e fanga sipi ʻe ono kilu mā fitu mano mo e nima afe,

And that which remained of the spoil which the warriors took, was—of the sheep, six hundred and seventy-five thousand:

33 Mo e fanga pulu ʻe fitu mano mo e ua afe,

and oxen, seventy-two thousand:

34 Mo e fanga ʻasi ʻe ono mano mo e taha afe,

and asses, sixty-one thousand.

35 Pea ko e kau fefine ko e kau tāupoʻou kotoa pē, ʻe toko tolu mano ma toko ua afe, naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha tangata ke takoto mo ia.

And persons of women who had not known lying with man, all the souls, thirty-two thousand.

36 Pea ko hono vahe ua ko e ʻinasi ʻokinautolu naʻe ʻalu atu ke tau, ko hono lau ko e fanga sipi ʻe tolu kilu mo e tolu mano mo e fitu afe ma nimangeau.

And the half, [even] the portion of them that went out to war, from the number of the sheep, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.

37 Pea ko e tukuhau kia Sihova mei he fanga sipi, naʻe onongeau ma fitungofulu ma nima.

And the tribute to the Lord from the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five.

38 Pea ko e fanga pulu naʻe tolu mano ma ono afe, ka ko e tukuhau mei ai kia Sihova ko e fitungofulu ma ua.

And the oxen, six and thirty thousand, and the tribute to the Lord seventy-two.

39 Pea naʻe tolu mano ma nimangeau ʻae fanga ʻasi, ka ko e tukuhau mei ai kia Sihova ko e onongofulu ma taha.

And asses, thirty thousand and five hundred, and the tribute to the Lord, sixty-one:

40 Pea naʻe tokotaha mano ma toko ono afe ʻae kakai; ka ko e kakai tukuhau mei ai kia Sihova ko e toko tolungofulu ma toko ua.

and the persons, sixteen thousand, and the tribute of them to the Lord, thirty-two souls.

41 Pea naʻe ʻange ʻe Mōsese ʻae tukuhau, ʻaia ko e feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.

And Moses gave the tribute to the Lord, the heave-offering of God, to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses;

42 Pea ko hono vahe ua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe vaeua ʻe Mōsese mei he kau tangata tau,

from the half belonging to the children of Israel, whom Moses separated from the men of war.

43 (Ko hono vahe ua eni naʻe ʻi he kakai, ko e fanga sipi ʻe tolu kilu mo e tolu mano mo e fitu afe ma nimangeau,

And the half [taken] from the sheep, belonging to the congregation, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand and five hundred.

44 Mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolu mano ma ono afe,

And the oxen, thirty-six thousand;

45 Mo e fanga ʻasi ʻe tolu mano ma nimangeau,

asses, thirty thousand and five hundred;

46 Pea mo e kakai ʻe tokotaha mano ma toko ono afe);

and persons, sixteen thousand.

47 Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Mōsese ʻae ʻinasi ʻe taha ʻi he nimangofulu, mei hono vahe ua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻi he tangata mo e manu, ʻo ne ʻange ia ki he kau Livai, ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻo Sihova; ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese.

And Moses took of the half belonging to the children of Israel the fifties part, of men and of cattle, and he gave them to the Levites who keep the charges of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

48 Pea ko e houʻeiki naʻe pule ki he ngaahi toko afe ʻoe kautau, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, naʻa nau ʻunuʻunu mai ʻo ofi kia Mōsese:

And all those who were appointed to be officers of thousands of the host, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, approached Moses, and said to Moses,

49 Pea naʻa nau pehē kia Mōsese, “Kuo fai ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae lau ʻoe kakai tau ʻakinautolu ʻoku mau pule ki ai, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata kuo tō ʻiate kimautolu.

Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war with us, and not one is missing.

50 Ko ia kuo mau ʻomi ai ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova, ʻi he meʻa kuo taki taha maʻu ʻe he tangata, ko e ngaahi teunga koula, mo e ngaahi kahoa, mo e ngaahi vesa, mo e ngaahi mama, mo e ngaahi hau ki he telinga, mo e ngaahi sifa, ke fai ʻaki ʻae fakalelei koeʻuhi ko homau laumālie ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.”

And we have brought our gift to the Lord, [every] man who has found an article of gold, whether an armlet, or a chain, or a ring, or a bracelet, or a clasp for hair, to make atonement for us before the Lord.

51 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻae koula meiate kinautolu, ʻio ʻae ngaahi teunga kuo ngaohi.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even every wrought article.

52 Pea ko e koula kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulau naʻa nau hiki hake ia kia Sihova, mei he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ko e [sikeli ]ʻe taha mano mo e ono afe mo e fitungeau ma nimangofulu.

And all the wrought gold, even the offering that they offered to the Lord, was sixteen thousand and seven hundred and fifty shekels from the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds.

53 (He naʻe taki taha maʻu ʻe he kau tangata tau ʻae koloa maʻana.)

For the men of war took plunder every one for himself.

54 Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ʻae koula mei he ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko afe, mo e ngaahi ʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi toko teau, ʻo na ʻomi ia ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ko e meʻa fakamanatu ia ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and brought the vessels into the tabernacle of witness, a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
