Numbers 31
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
2 “Avenge the children of Israel on the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”
“Folokin nu sin mwet Midian ke ma elos tuh oru nu sin mwet Israel. Toko, na kom fah misa.”
3 Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Yahweh’s vengeance on Midian.
Ouinge Moses el fahk nu sin mwet uh, “Akola nu ke mweun, tuh kowos fah ku in tuyak lain mwet Midian ac kalyaelos ke sripen ma elos oru nu sin LEUM GOD.
4 You shall send one thousand out of every tribe, throughout all the tribes of Israel, to the war.”
Kowos in supwala kais sie tausin mwet mweun ke kais sie sruf lun Israel.”
5 So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Ouinge sie tausin mwet solla liki kais sie sruf, orala pisa lulap se ke mwet singoul luo tausin su akola nu ke mweun.
6 Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
Moses el supwalosla nu ke mweun ye koko lal Phinehas, wen natul Eleazar mwet tol, su us kufwa ke lohm nuknuk mutal ac mwe ukuk in sulkakin pacl in mweun.
7 They fought against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses. They killed every male.
Elos mutawauk mweuni mwet Midian oana LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses, ac onela mukul nukewa,
8 They killed the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam the son of Beor with the sword.
weang tokosra limekosr lun Midian inge: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, ac Reba. Elos oayapa unilya Balaam wen natul Beor.
9 The children of Israel took the women of Midian captive with their little ones; and all their livestock, all their flocks, and all their goods, they took as plunder.
Mwet Israel elos sruokya mutan Midian ac tulik natulos, oayapa cow ac un sheep ac nani natulos, ac usla ma lalos nukewa.
10 All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burned with fire.
Elos esukak siti nukewa selos, ac nien aktuktuk selos.
11 They took all the captives, and all the plunder, both of man and of animal.
Elos eis ma wap nukewa, wi mwet sruoh ac kosro uh,
12 They brought the captives with the prey and the plunder, to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
ac use ma inge nu yorol Moses ac Eleazar ac mwet Israel nukewa su muta in nien aktuktuk se in acn mwesis lun Moab, kutulap in Infacl Jordan, tulanang Jericho.
13 Moses and Eleazar the priest, with all the princes of the congregation, went out to meet them outside of the camp.
Moses, Eleazar, ac mwet kol nukewa saya lun mwet Israel elos illa liki nien aktuktuk in osun nu sin mwet mweun.
14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
Moses el kasrkusrakak sin mwet kol lun un mwet mweun, captain lun tausin ac captain lun foko, su foloko liki mweun uh.
15 Moses said to them, “Have you saved all the women alive?
El siyuk selos, “Efu kowos ku lela mutan inge nukewa in moul na?
16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against Yahweh in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of Yahweh.
Esam lah mutan inge pa tuh ukwe na ma Balaam el fahk nu selos, na in acn Peor elos kolla mwet uh in tia pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD. Pa sis mwe lokoalok upa sac tuh sikyak nu sin mwet lun God.
17 Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known man by lying with him.
Ke ma inge, uniya tulik mukul nukewa, oayapa mutan nukewa su etu mukul tari,
18 But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
tusruktu karinganang nu suwos tulik mutan nukewa ac mutan su soenna etu mukul.
19 “Encamp outside of the camp for seven days. Whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.
Inge kowos nukewa su uniya kutena mwet, ku pusralla kutena mano misa, enenu in muta likin nien aktuktuk uh ke len itkosr. Ke len se aktolu ac len se akitkosr, kowos in aknasnasye kowos sifacna ac mutan ma sruhu ke mweun.
20 You shall purify every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood.”
Kowos oayapa enenu in aknasnasye nuknuk lowos nukewa ac ma nukewa ma orekla ke kulun kosro, unen nani, ku ma orekla ke sak.”
21 Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, “This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded Moses.
Eleazar mwet tol el fahk nu sin mukul nukewa su foloko liki mweun, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel Moses:
22 However the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Gold, silver, bronze, osra, tin, ac lead —
23 everything that may withstand the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity. All that doesn’t withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water.
ma nukewa ma tia motok e, ac fah aknasnasyeyuk in e uh. Tusruktu enenu pac in aknasnasyeyuk ke kof in aknasnas. Ac kutena ma su motok e, ac fah isosyang nu in kof sac.
24 You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean. Afterward you shall come into the camp.”
Ke len se akitkosr kowos fah ohlla nuknuk lowos, na kowos fah nasnasla, ac kowos fah ku in ilyak nu in nien aktuktuk.”
25 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses,
26 “Count the plunder that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation;
“Kom ac Eleazar, wi mwet kol saya lun mwet Israel, in oakla ma nukewa ma utuku ke mweun, wi mwet sruoh ac un kosro.
27 and divide the plunder into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.
Kitalik ma utukeni nu ke ip luo, na sang tafu lun mwet mweun, ac tafu lun mwet Israel ngia.
28 Levy a tribute to Yahweh of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks.
Ke ip lun mwet mweun an, kom fah srela sie liki inmasrlon kais lumfoko nukewa tuh in mwe takma nu sin LEUM GOD— ke mwet sruoh, ac ke un cow, donkey, sheep ac nani.
29 Take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for Yahweh’s wave offering.
Sang ma ingan nu sel Eleazar mwet tol, tuh in sie mwe sang mutal nu sin LEUM GOD.
30 Of the children of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of Yahweh’s tabernacle.”
Ke ip lun mwet nukewa saya, kom fah srela sie liki kais lumngaul nukewa ke mwet sruoh, ac oru oapana nu ke un cow, donkey, sheep, ac nani. Sang ma inge nu sin mwet Levi su liyaung Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD.”
31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Moses ac Eleazar oru oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin.
32 Now the plunder, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
Pisen ma wap nukewa ma un mwet mweun uh sruokya oasr ke onfoko itngoul limekosr tausin sheep ac nani,
33 seventy-two thousand head of cattle,
itngoul luo tausin cow,
34 sixty-one thousand donkeys,
onngoul sie tausin donkey,
35 and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of the women who had not known man by lying with him.
ac tolngoul luo tausin mutan su tia etu mukul.
36 The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep;
Ip lun mwet mweun uh, oasr ke tolfoko tolngoul itkosr tausin lumfoko sheep ac nani,
37 and Yahweh’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.
ac ip kac ma itukyang nu sin LEUM GOD oasr ke onfoko itngoul limekosr sheep ac nani.
38 The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which Yahweh’s tribute was seventy-two.
Pisen cow uh oasr ke tausin tolngoul onkosr, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac oasr ke itngoul luo.
39 The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred, of which Yahweh’s tribute was sixty-one.
Pisen donkey uh oasr ke tolngoul tausin lumfoko, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac oasr onngoul soko.
40 The persons were sixteen thousand, of whom Yahweh’s tribute was thirty-two persons.
Pisen mutan fusr uh oasr ke tausin singoul onkosr, ac ip lun LEUM GOD kac uh pa mutan tolngoul luo.
41 Moses gave the tribute, which was Yahweh’s wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Moses el sang nu sel Eleazar takma inge, su sie mwe sang mutal nu sin LEUM GOD, oana ke LEUM GOD El sapkin.
42 Of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men who fought
Ac ip se lun mwet Israel, ma Moses el srela liki ma lun un mwet mweun uh,
43 (now the congregation’s half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
oasr tolfoko tolngoul itkosr tausin lumfoko sheep ac nani,
44 thirty-six thousand head of cattle,
tolngoul onkosr tausin cow,
45 thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,
tolngoul tausin lumfoko donkey,
46 and sixteen thousand persons),
ac singoul onkosr tausin mutan fusr.
47 even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who performed the duty of Yahweh’s tabernacle, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Liki ip lun mwet Israel, Moses el eisla kais sie liki lumngaul nukewa, ke mwet sruoh ac ke kosro uh, ac el sang ma inge nu sin mwet Levi su karingin Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sin LEUM GOD, oana LEUM GOD El sapkin.
48 The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses.
Toko mwet kol su karingin un mwet mweun elos som nu yorol Moses
49 They said to Moses, “Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our command, and there lacks not one man of us.
ac fahk, “Leum se, kut oakla mwet mweun lasr, ac wangin sie selos tuhlac.
50 We have brought Yahweh’s offering, what every man found: gold ornaments, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Yahweh.”
Ke ma inge kut use mwe yun gold, mwe lohlpo, sein gold, ring, yaring, ah in walwal, ma kais sie sesr sifani. Kut sang ma inge nu sin LEUM GOD tuh in mwe srui lasr ke El molikutla.”
51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took their gold, even all worked jewels.
Moses ac Eleazar eis mwe naweyuk inge nukewa ma orekla ke gold.
52 All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to Yahweh, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.
Toasriyen ma inge nukewa ma mwetkol lun mwet mweun orani, alukela paun angfoko.
53 The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.
Elos su tia oaoa in mwet kol lun mwet mweun elos sruokya na ma wap lalos uh.
54 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting for a memorial for the children of Israel before Yahweh.
Ouinge Moses ac Eleazar usla gold uh nu in Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, tuh LEUM GOD Elan loango mwet Israel.
