Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
2Revenge first the children of Israel on the Madianites, and so thou shalt be gathered to thy people.
2“Totongi ki he kau Mitiane koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: pea hili ia ʻe tānaki ko e ki ho kakai.”
3And Moses forthwith said: Arm of you men to fight, who may take the revenge of the Lord on the Madianites.
3Pea 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.
4Let a thousand men be chosen out of every tribe of Israel to be sent to the war.
4Ko e toko afe ʻi he faʻahinga taki taha ke mou fekau ki he tau ʻi he faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli.”
5And they gave a thousand of every tribe, that is to say, twelve thousand men well appointed for battle.
5Pea 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.
6And Moses sent them with Phinees the son of Eleazar the priest, and he delivered to him the holy vessels, and the trumpets to sound.
6Pea 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.
7And when they had fought against the Madianites and had overcome them, they slew all the men.
7Pea naʻa nau tau ki he kau Mitiane, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese; pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻae kakai tangata fulipē.
8And their kings Evi, and Recem, and Sur, and Hur, and Rebe, five princes of the nation: Balaam also the son of Beer they killed with the sword.
8Pea 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.
9And they took their women, and their children captives, and all their cattle, and all their goods: and all their possessions they plundered:
9Pea 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.
10And all their cities, and their villages, and castles, they burned.
10Pea naʻa nau tutu ʻenau ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻaia naʻa nau nofo ai, pea mo honau ngaahi fale māʻolunga lelei ʻaki ʻae afi.
11And they carried away the booty, and all that they had taken both of men and of beasts.
11Pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae koloa kotoa pē, mo e koloa veteki kotoa pē, ʻae kau tangata mo e fanga manu.
12And they brought them to Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and to all the multitude of the children of Israel. But the rest of the things for use they carried to the camp on the plains of Moab, beside the Jordan over against Jericho.
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.
13And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the synagogue went forth to meet them without the camp.
13Pea 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.
14And Moses being angry with the chief officers of the army, the tribunes, and the centurions that were come from the battle,
14Pea 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.
15Said: Why have you saved the women?
15Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Mōsese kiate kinautolu, “Kuo mou fakamoʻui ʻae kau fefine kenau moʻui kotoa pē?
16Are not these they, that deceived the children of Israel by the counsel of Balaam, and made you transgress against the Lord by the sin of Phogor, for which also the people was punished?
16Vakai 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.
17Therefore kill all that are of the male sex, even of the children: and put to death the women, that have carnally known men.
17Pea 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.
18But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:
18Ka ko e tamaiki fefine, ʻoku ʻikai tenau ʻilo ha tangata ke takoto mo ia, ke fakamoʻui maʻamoutolu.
19And stay without the camp seven days. He that hath killed a man, or touched one that is killed, shall be purified the third day and the seventh day.
19Pea 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.
20And of all the spoil, every garment, or vessel, or any thing made for use, of the skins, or hair of goats, or of wood, shall be purified.
20Pea 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.”
21Eleazar also the priest spoke to the men of the army, that had fought, in this manner: This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord hath commanded Moses:
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;
22Gold, and silver, and brass, and iron, and lend, and tin,
22Ko e koula, pea mo e siliva, mo e palasa, mo e ukamea, mo e tini, pea mo e pulu,
23And all that may pass through the fire, shall be purified by fire, but whatsoever cannot abide the fire, shall be sanctified with the water of expiation:
23Ko 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.
24And you shall wash your garments the seventh day, and being purified, you shall afterwards enter into the camp.
24Pea 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.”
25And the Lord said to Moses:
25¶ Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
26Take the sum of the things that were taken both of man and beast, thou and Eleazar the priest and the princes of the multitude:
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.
27And thou shalt divide the spoil equally, between them that fought and went out to the war, and between the rest of the multitude.
27Pea 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.
28And thou shalt separate a portion to the Lord from them that fought and were in the battle, one soul of five hundred as well of persons as of oxen and asses and sheep.
28Pea 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:
29And thou shalt give it to Eleazar the priest, because they are the firstfruits of the Lord.
29Ke ʻomi ia mei honau ʻinasi, ʻo foaki ia kia ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki ko e feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova.
30Out of the moiety also of the children of Israel thou shalt take the fiftieth head of persons, and of oxen, and asses, and sheep, and of all beasts, and thou shalt give them to the Levites that watch in the charge of the tabernacle of the Lord.
30Pea 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.”
31And Moses and Eleazar did as the Lord had commanded.
31Pea naʻe fai ʻe Mōsese, mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese.
32And the spoil which the army had taken, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,
32Pea 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,
33Seventy-two thousand oxen,
33Mo e fanga pulu ʻe fitu mano mo e ua afe,
34Sixty-one thousand asses:
34Mo e fanga ʻasi ʻe ono mano mo e taha afe,
35And thirty-two thousand persons of the female sex, that had not known men.
35Pea 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.
36And one half was given to them that had been in the battle, to wit, three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:
36Pea 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.
37Out of which, for the portion of the Lord, were reckoned six hundred seventy-five sheep.
37Pea ko e tukuhau kia Sihova mei he fanga sipi, naʻe onongeau ma fitungofulu ma nima.
38And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen, seventy-two oxen:
38Pea ko e fanga pulu naʻe tolu mano ma ono afe, ka ko e tukuhau mei ai kia Sihova ko e fitungofulu ma ua.
39Out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses, sixty-one asses:
39Pea naʻe tolu mano ma nimangeau ʻae fanga ʻasi, ka ko e tukuhau mei ai kia Sihova ko e onongofulu ma taha.
40Out of the sixteen thousand persons, there fell to the portion of the Lord, thirty-two souls.
40Pea 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.
41And Moses delivered the number of the firstfruits of the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as had been commanded him,
41Pea 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.
42Out of the half of the children of Israel, which he had separated for them that had been in the battle.
42Pea ko hono vahe ua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe vaeua ʻe Mōsese mei he kau tangata tau,
43But out of the half that fell to the rest of the multitude, that is to say, out of the three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,
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,
44And out of the thirty-six thousand oxen,
44Mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolu mano ma ono afe,
45And out of the thirty thousand five hundred asses,
45Mo e fanga ʻasi ʻe tolu mano ma nimangeau,
46And out of the sixteen thousand persons,
46Pea mo e kakai ʻe tokotaha mano ma toko ono afe);
47Moses took the fiftieth head, and gave it to the Levites that watched in the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded.
47Pea 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.
48And when the commanders of the army, and the tribunes and centurions were come to Moses, they said:
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:
49We thy servants have reckoned up the number of the fighting men, whom we had under our hand, and not so much as one was wanting.
49Pea 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.
50Therefore we offer as gifts to the Lord what gold every one of us could find in the booty, in garters and tablets, rings and bracelets, and chains, that thou mayst pray to the Lord for us.
50Ko 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.”
51And Moses and Eleazar the priest received all the gold in divers kinds,
51Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Mōsese mo ʻEliesa ko e taulaʻeiki, ʻae koula meiate kinautolu, ʻio ʻae ngaahi teunga kuo ngaohi.
52In weight sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty sicles, from the tribunes and from the centurions.
52Pea 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.
53For that which every one had taken in the booty was his own.
53(He naʻe taki taha maʻu ʻe he kau tangata tau ʻae koloa maʻana.)
54And that which was received they brought into the tabernacle of the testimony, for a memorial of the children of Israel before the Lord.
54Pea 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.
