1And the LORD said to Moses,
1Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
2“Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”
2Israel kaminawk nuiah sak ih zaehaih baktih toengah, Midian kaminawk khaeah sah pathok ah; to pacoengah loe nangmah ih kaminawk khaeah la tih boeh, tiah a naa.
3So 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.
3To pongah Mosi mah kaminawk khaeah, Midian kaminawk nuiah Angraeng ih lu to lak moe, Midian kaminawk to tuk hanah, nangcae thung ih thoemto kaminawk maiphaw maica hoi amthoep oh.
4Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”
4Israel acaeng thung hoi acaeng maeto mah kami sang to misatuk hanah patoeh oh, tiah a naa.
5So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.
5To pongah Israel acaeng maeto boih thung hoiah patoeh ih kami sang hatlai hnetto loe misatuk hanah angthawk o.
6And 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.
6Mosi mah to kaminawk to misatuk hanah acaeng maeto thung hoiah kami sangto patoeh; nihcae hoi nawnto mongkah ueng Eleazar capa qaima Phinehas to hmuenciim thung ih maiphaw maicanawk hoiah nawnto patoeh.
7Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.
7Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, nihcae mah Midian kaminawk to tuk o moe, nongpanawk to hum o boih.
8Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.
8A hum o ih kaminawk thungah Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur hoi Reba, Midian siangpahrang pangato athum o; nihcae mah Beor capa Balaam doeh sumsen hoiah hum o.
9The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.
9Israel kaminawk mah Midian nongpatanawk hoi nawktanawk, nihcae ih hmuenmaenawk, maitawnawk hoi tuunawk to lomh pae o boih.
10Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,
10Midian kaminawk ohhaih vangpuinawk to hmai hoiah thlaek pae o boih; a ohhaih kahoih imnawk doeh thlaek pae o boih.
11and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.
11A naeh o ih kaminawk, a lak o ih hmuennawk hoi pacah ih moinawk doeh lak pae o boih.
12They 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.
12Misong ah naeh o ih kaminawk hoi a lak pae o ih hmuennawk boih loe, Moab azawn ih Jordan vapui taeng, Jeriko vangpui zaeh ah kaom, Mosi, qaima Eleazar hoi Israel kaminawk khaeah a sinh pae o.
13And Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them outside the camp.
13Mosi, qaima Eleazar hoi acaeng zaehoikung boih loe, nihcae tongh hanah ataihaih ahmuen tasa bangah caeh o.
14But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.
14To naah Mosi loe misatukhaih ahmuen hoiah amlaem misatuh angraengnawk, kami sangto ukkungnawk hoi kami cumvaito ukkungnawk nuiah palungphui.
15“Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.
15Mosi mah nihcae khaeah, Nongpatanawk na pathlungh o boih maw? tiah a dueng.
16“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.
16Khenah, hae nongpatanawk loe Balaam ih lok to tahngaih o moe, Peor kawng pongah Israel kaminawk to Angraeng khae hoi loklam amkhraengs o sak boeh; to pongah Angraeng ih kaminawk salakah kasae nathaih to oh.
17So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,
17Vaihi nawktanawk salak ih nongpa to hum o boih ah; nongpa hoi nawnto iip nongpatanawk doeh hum o boih ah.
18but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
18Toe nongpa panoek vai ai tanglanawk loe nangmacae han suem oh.
19All 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.
19Nangcae thungah mi kawbaktih doeh kami hum kami, to tih ai boeh loe hum ih kami qok sui kami to ataihaih im tasa bangah ni sarihto thung suem oh; ni thumto hoi ni sarihto naah nangmacae hoi na naeh o ih kaminawk boih ciimcaihaih to sah oh.
20And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”
20Nangmacae ih khukbuen, moihin hoi sak ih hmuennawk, maeh mui, thing hoi sak ih hmuennawk to ciimcai o sak ah, tiah a naa.
21Then 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:
21To pacoengah qaima Eleazar mah misatuk han kacaeh misatuh kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah paek ih atawk loe hae tiah oh;
22Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—
22sui, sum kanglung, sum kamling, sum, camphaeh ngan hoiah kimah,
23everything 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.
23hmai kakaang thaih hmuennawk boih loe hmai hoiah qoeng ah, to tiah nahaeloe ciim tih; ciimsakhaih tui hoiah doeh pasae oh; hmai khaan thai ai hmuennawk loe tui hoiah pasae oh.
24On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”
24Ni sarihto naah khukbuennawk to pasuk oh, to tiah nahaeloe na ciim o tih; to pacoengah loe ataihaih imthung ah nang zo o thai tih boeh, tiah a naa.
25The LORD said to Moses,
25Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah,
26“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.
26kaminawk mah lak o ih hmuenmaenawk to nangmah hoi qaima Eleazar hoi acaeng zaehoikung mah la oh loe,
27Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to battle and the rest of the congregation.
27to hmuennawk to ahmuen hnetto ah tapraek ah; misatuk han caeh misatuh kaminawk hoi amkhueng kaminawk han tapraek paeh.
28Set 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.
28Misatuk han kacaeh misatuh kaminawk loe kami doeh, maitaw doeh, laa hrang doeh, tuu doeh, cumvai pangato thungah maeto, Angraeng khaeah paek han oh;
29Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.
29nihcae mah hak ih tamut ahap to la ah loe, Angraeng taham to qaima Eleazar khaeah paek ah.
30From 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.”
30Israel acaeng ahap khae hoiah, kami doeh, maitaw doeh, laa hrang doeh, tuu doeh, maeh doeh, kalah moinawk doeh, qui pangato thungah maeto la ah loe, to hmuennawk to Angraeng ih kahni im khenzawnkung Levinawk khaeah paek ah, tiah a naa.
31So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,
31To pongah Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi hoi qaima Eleazar mah sak hoi.
32and this plunder remained from the spoils the soldiers had taken: 675,000 sheep,
32Misatuh kaminawk mah lak o ih kanghmat tuunawk loe sang cumvai taruk, sang qui sarih, sang pangato oh.
3372,000 cattle,
33Maitaw sing sarih, sang hnetto,
3461,000 donkeys,
34laa hrang sing taruk, sangto,
35and 32,000 women who had not slept with a man.
35nongpa hoi iip vai ai nongpata sing thum, sang hnetto oh o.
36This was the half portion for those who had gone to war: 337,500 sheep,
36Misatuk naah kacaeh kaminawk ih taham ahap loe, tuu sing qui thum, sing thum, sang sarih, cumvai pangato,
37including a tribute to the LORD of 675,
37Angraeng khaeah tathlang han ih hmuen loe cumvai taruk, qui sarih, pangato oh.
3836,000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,
38Maitaw sing thum, sang tarukto oh; to thung hoiah qui sarih, hnetto loe Angraeng khaeah paek han ih taham ah oh.
3930,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,
39Laa hrang sing thum, cumvai pangato oh; to thung hoiah Angraeng ih taham loe qui taruk, maeto;
40and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.
40kami loe singto pacoeng, sang tarukto oh; to thung hoiah Angraeng ih taham loe qui thum, hnetto.
41Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
41Angraeng mah Mosi khaeah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Mosi mah Angraeng ih taham to qaima Eleazar khaeah paek.
42From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,
42Mosi mah misatuh kaminawk khae hoiah lak moe, Israel kaminawk mah hak han koi ahap,
43this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,
43rangpuinawk mah hak han koi ahap loe, tuu sang cumvai thum, sing thum, sang sarih, cumvai pangato;
4436,000 cattle,
44maitaw sing thum, sang tarukto,
4530,500 donkeys,
45laa hrang sing thum, cumvai pangato hoi,
46and 16,000 people.
46kami singto pacoeng, sang tarukto oh.
47From 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.
47Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Israel rangpui mah hak han koi taham ahap thung hoiah, Mosi mah kami maw, moi maw qui pangato thungah maeto lak moe, Angraeng ih kahni im khenzawnkung Levi kaminawk khaeah paek.
48Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses
48To pacoengah misatuh sangto ukkungnawk hoi misatuh cumvaito ukkungnawk Mosi khaeah caeh o moe,
49and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.
49anih khaeah, Na tammanawk mah misatuh kaminawk thung ih kami ka kroek o naah, maeto doeh anghmaa ai.
50So 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.”
50To pongah Angraeng khaeah paek hanah sui hoiah sak ih hmuennawk, bungmunawk, ban lakoknawk, bantuetnawk, naa tangkraengnawk, hnah ah bangh koi hmuennawk to Angraeng hmaa ah angbawnhaih ah sak han ih kang sin o, tiah a naa o.
51So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.
51Mosi hoi qaima Eleazar mah nihcae ih suinawk to talawk pae hoi; ban tok sah kop kaminawk mah sak ih suinawk to talawk pae hoi.
52All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.
52Mosi hoi qaima Eleazar mah misatuh kami sangto ukkungnawk hoi misatuh kami cumvaito ukkungnawk khae hoiah talawk ih Angraeng ih taham suinawk loe sangqum ah shekel sang hatlai taruk, cumvai sarih, qui pangato oh.
53Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.
53Misatuh kami maeto mah angmah hanah hmuen maeto lak o boih.
54And 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.
54Mosi hoi qaima Eleazar mah misatuh kami sangto hoi misatuh kami cumvaito ukkungnawk khae hoiah talawk hoi ih suinawk to Israel kaminawk mah panoek poe hanah amkhuenghaih kahni im ah Angraeng hmaa ah a sin hoi.
