< Numbers 31 >
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Gbẹ̀san lára àwọn Midiani fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà náà a ó kó ọ jọ pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ.”
“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
3 Mose sì sọ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Ẹ wọ ogun fún àwọn kan nínú yín láti lọ da ojú ìjà kọ àwọn ọmọ Midiani láti gba ẹ̀san Olúwa lára wọn.
So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.
4 Rán ẹgbẹ̀rún ọmọ-ogun láti ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan ní Israẹli.”
Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”
5 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì yan nínú àwọn ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún ènìyàn Israẹli, ẹgbẹ̀rún ènìyàn láti inú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan, ẹgbàá mẹ́fà ènìyàn tí ó wọ ìhámọ́ra ogun.
So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.
6 Mose rán wọn lọ sí ogun, ẹgbẹ̀rún láti ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan pẹ̀lú Finehasi ọmọ Eleasari, ti ó jẹ́ àlùfáà, ti òun ti ohun èlò ibi mímọ́ àti ìpè wọ̀n-ọn-nì ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.
7 Wọ́n dojú ìjà kọ Midiani gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose, kí wọn sì pa gbogbo wọn.
Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
8 Wọ́n sì pa àwọn ọba Midiani pẹ̀lú: àwọn ìyókù tí wọ́n pa lára wọn ni Efi, Rekemu, Suri àti Huri, àti Reba: ọba Midiani márùn-ún, wọ́n sì fi idà pa Balaamu ọmọ Beori.
Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
9 Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì mú gbogbo obìnrin Midiani ní ìgbèkùn àti àwọn ọmọ kékeré wọn, wọ́n sì kó gbogbo ohun ọ̀sìn wọn àti gbogbo agbo ẹran wọn àti gbogbo ẹrù wọn.
The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.
10 Wọ́n finá jó gbogbo ìlú wọn àti ibùdó wọn.
Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,
11 Wọ́n sì kó gbogbo ìní wọn, àti ènìyàn àti ẹran.
and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.
12 Wọ́n sì kó gbogbo ohun tí wọ́n bàjẹ́ àti ènìyàn àti ẹran wá sọ́dọ̀ Mose àti Eleasari àlùfáà, àti sọ́dọ̀ ìjọ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ibùdó àgọ́ ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Moabu tí ń bẹ lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ Jordani létí Jeriko.
They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.
13 Mose, Eleasari àlùfáà àti gbogbo olórí ìgbèríko lọ láti lọ bá wọn ní ìta ibùdó.
And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
14 Inú bí Mose sí àwọn olórí ọmọ-ogun, pẹ̀lú àwọn olórí ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àti olórí ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún tí wọ́n ti ogun dé.
But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.
15 Mose sì béèrè wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin ha dá gbogbo àwọn obìnrin sí bí?
“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.
16 Àwọn ni wọ́n tẹ̀lé ìmọ̀ràn Balaamu, àwọn ní ó ṣe okùnfà yíyí àwọn ọ̀mọ̀ Israẹli padà kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa nínú èyí tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ ní Peori, níbi tí àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn ti kọlu ìjọ Olúwa.
“Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.
17 Nísinsin yìí, pa gbogbo ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin àti àwọn obìnrin tí ó ti súnmọ́ ọkùnrin,
So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,
18 ṣùgbọ́n kí o dá obìnrin tí kò bá tí ì súnmọ́ ọkùnrin sí fún ara yín.
but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
19 “Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá ti pa ènìyàn tàbí fọwọ́ kan ẹni tí a pa gbọdọ̀ dúró ní ìta ibùdó àgọ́ fún ọjọ́ méje. Ní ọjọ́ kẹta àti ọjọ́ keje ẹ gbọdọ̀ ya ara yín àti ẹni tí ẹ kó lẹ́rú sí mímọ́.
All of you who have killed a person or touched the dead are to remain outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and the seventh day you are to purify both yourselves and your captives.
20 Kí ẹ̀yin kí ó ya aṣọ yín sí mímọ́ àti gbogbo ohun tí a fi awọ ṣe àti gbogbo iṣẹ́ irun ewúrẹ́ àti ohun tí a fi igi ṣe.”
And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”
21 Eleasari àlùfáà sì wí fún àwọn olórí ogun náà pé, “Èyí ní ìlànà òfin tí Olúwa fi lélẹ̀ ní àṣẹ fún Mose.
Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:
22 Kìkì i wúrà, fàdákà, idẹ, irin, idẹ àti òjé.
Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
23 Ohunkóhun tí ó lè la iná ni kí ẹ̀yin ó mú la iná, nígbà náà ni yóò jẹ́ mímọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ yóò fi omi ìyàsímímọ́ sọ ọ́ di mímọ́. Àti gbogbo ohun tí kò lè la iná kọjá ni kí a mú la inú omi.
everything that can withstand the fire—must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.
24 Ní ọjọ́ keje, ẹ fọ aṣọ yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ́, nígbà náà ní ẹ̀yin yóò lè wọ inú ibùdó àjọ.”
On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”
26 “Ìwọ àti Eleasari àlùfáà àti àwọn olórí ilé baba ìjọ ni kí o ka iye àwọn ènìyàn àti ẹranko tí a kó ní ìgbèkùn.
“You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count of what was captured, both of man and beast.
27 Pín ohun ìní àti ìkógun náà láàrín àwọn ọmọ-ogun náà tí ó kópa nínú ogun náà àti láàrín gbogbo ìjọ.
Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to battle and the rest of the congregation.
28 Kí o sì gba ìdá ti Olúwa lọ́wọ́ àwọn ológun tí wọn jáde lọ sí ogun náà, ọ̀kan nínú ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta nínú àwọn ènìyàn àti nínú màlúù àti nínú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àti nínú agbo ẹran.
Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers who went into battle: one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.
29 Gba ìdá yìí lára ààbọ̀ ìpín tiwọn, kí o sì fún Eleasari àlùfáà, fún ẹbọ ìgbésókè Olúwa.
Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
30 Lára ààbọ̀ ti Israẹli, yan ọ̀kan kúrò nínú àádọ́ta, yálà ènìyàn, ẹran ọ̀sìn, kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àgùntàn, ewúrẹ́ tàbí ẹ̀yà ẹranko mìíràn. Kó wọn fún àwọn Lefi, tí ó dúró fún olùtọ́jú àgọ́ Olúwa.”
From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”
31 Nígbà náà Mose àti Eleasari àlùfáà ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún Mose.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,
32 Èrè tí ó kù lára ìkógun tí àwọn ọmọ-ogun kó jẹ́, ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rìnlélọ́gbọ̀n ó dín ẹgbẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n àgùntàn.
and this plunder remained from the spoils the soldiers had taken: 675,000 sheep,
33 Ẹgbàá méjìléláàádọ́rin màlúù
72,000 cattle,
34 ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ta ó lé ẹgbẹ̀rin kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́,

and 32,000 women who had not slept with a man.

This was the half portion for those who had gone to war: 337,500 sheep,
37 Tí ìdá ti Olúwa sì jẹ́ ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rin ó dín mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n àgùntàn;
including a tribute to the LORD of 675,

30,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,
40 Àwọn ènìyàn sì jẹ́ ẹgbàá mẹ́jọ ìdá ti Olúwa sì jẹ́ méjìlélọ́gbọ̀n.
and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.
41 Mose fi ìdá náà fún Eleasari, àlùfáà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìdá ti Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pa á láṣẹ fún Mose.
Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
42 Ààbọ̀ tí ó jẹ́ ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, tí Mose yà sọ́tọ̀ kúrò lára àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ja ogun.
From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,
43 Ààbọ̀ tí ìjọ jẹ́ ẹgbàá méjìdínláàádọ́sàn-án ó lé lẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀jọ àgùntàn,
this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,
44 pẹ̀lú ẹgbàá méjìdínlógún màlúù
36,000 cattle,
45 tí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ sì jẹ́ ẹgbàá mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún ó lé lẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀ta.
30,500 donkeys,
46 Àwọn ènìyàn sì jẹ́ ẹgbàá mẹ́jọ.
and 16,000 people.
47 Lára ààbọ̀ ti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, Mose yan ọ̀kan lára àádọ́ta ènìyàn àti ẹranko gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti pa á láṣẹ fún un. Ó sì fi wọ́n fún àwọn ọmọ Lefi, tí ń ṣe olùtọ́jú àgọ́ Olúwa.
From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.
48 Pẹ̀lú àwọn olórí tí ó wà lórí ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rin ogun náà, àti àwọn balógun ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún wá sọ́dọ̀ Mose.
Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses
49 Wọ́n sì sọ fún un pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ti ka àwọn ọmọ-ogun náà tí ó wà lábẹ́ ìtọ́jú wa, kò sì sí ọ̀kọ̀ọ̀kan tó dín.
and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.
50 Nítorí náà làwa ṣe mú ọrẹ ẹbọ wá fún Olúwa, gbogbo ọrẹ wíwà tí a ní, wúrà, ẹ̀wọ̀n, àti júfù, àti òrùka-àmi, àti òrùka etí, àti ìlẹ̀kẹ̀ láti fi ṣe ètùtù fún ọkàn an wa níwájú Olúwa.”
So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”
51 Mose àti Eleasari àlùfáà, gba wúrà náà lọ́wọ́ wọn pẹ̀lú gbogbo ohun iṣẹ́ ọ̀ṣọ́.
So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
52 Gbogbo wúrà tí àwọn balógun ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àti àwọn balógun ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún mú wá fún Mose àti Eleasari, èyí tí ó jẹ́ ẹbọ ìgbésókè fún Olúwa jẹ́ ẹgbàá mẹ́jọ ó lé lẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rin ó lé àádọ́ta ṣékélì.
All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.
53 Nítorí ológun kọ̀ọ̀kan ti kó ẹrù fún ara rẹ̀.
Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.
54 Mose àti Eleasari àlùfáà gba wúrà náà lọ́wọ́ àwọn balógun ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún àti lọ́wọ́ balógun ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún wọ́n sì ko wá sínú àgọ́ ìpàdé fún ìrántí àwọn Israẹli níwájú Olúwa.
And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.
