JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
1BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
2'Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites; afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.'
2“Na pilnam te coi lamtah Israel ca rhoek kah tawnlohnah neh Median soah phulo laeh,” a ti nah.
3And Moses spoke unto the people, saying: 'Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute the LORD'S vengeance on Midian.
3Te dongah Moses loh pilnam te a voek tih, “Na taeng lamkah hlang rhoek te caempuei la pumcum saeh lamtah Midian soah BOEIPA kah tawnlohnah paek ham Midian cuuk uh thil saeh.
4Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.'
4Israel koca boeih khui lamloh koca khat ah thawng khat, koca khat ah thawng khat rhip te caempuei la tueih uh,” a ti nah.
5So there were delivered, out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
5Te dongah Israel a thawng a thawng khui lamloh koca khat ah thawng khat te hol uh tih thawng hlai nit te caempuei la pumcum uh.
6And Moses sent them, a thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy vessels and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.
6Te phoeiah Moses loh amih koca pakhat lamkah thawng te caempuei la a tueih. Te vaengah khosoih Eleazar capa Phinekha khaw a kut dongkah hmuencim hnopai neh tamlung olueng neh caempuei la cet.
7And they warred against Midian, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew every male.
7Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses te a uen bangla Midian te a muk uh tih tongpa boeih te a ngawn uh.
8And they slew the kings of Midian with the rest of their slain: Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian; Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
8Midian manghai rhoek te khaw amih kah rhok dongah a ngawn uh. Midian manghai panga, Evi neh Rekem khaw, Zur neh Hur khaw, Reba neh Beor capa Balaam khaw cunghang neh a ngawn uh.
9And the children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.
9Israel ca rhoek loh Midian kah huta camoe khaw a rhamsa boeih neh a boiva boeih a mawt uh tih a thadueng boeih khaw a poelyoe pauh.
10And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.
10Amih kah tolrhum lakli, a khopuei boeih neh a lumim boeih khaw hmai neh a hoeh pa uh.
11And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.
11Kutbuem boeih khaw, hlang neh rhamsa dongkah a hnorhawt boeih khaw a khuen uh.
12And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp, unto the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.
12Te phoeiah tamna neh kutbuem hnorhawt te khaw Jerikho kah Jordan kaep, Moab kolken kah rhaehhmuen kah Moses taeng neh khosoih Eleazar taengah, Israel ca rhaengpuei taengla a khuen uh.
13And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
13Moses, khosoih Eleazar neh rhaengpuei kah khoboei boeih khaw amih doe hamla rhaehhmuen vongvoel la tawn uh.
14And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.
14Tedae caem aka soep thawng khat mangpa rhoek neh caempuei caemtloek lamkah aka pawk yakhat mangpa taengah Moses a thintoek.
15And Moses said unto them: 'Have ye saved all the women alive?
15Te phoeiah amih te Moses loh, “Huta tah boeih na hlun uh nama?”.
16Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to revolt so as to break faith with the LORD in the matter of Peor, and so the plague was among the congregation of the LORD.
16Peor kah olka dongah BOEIPA taeng lamloh boekoeknah la hol uh ham Balaam kah ol lamloh Israel ca rhoek taengla amih ha pawk coeng ne. Te dongah ni lucik loh BOEIPA kah hlangboel a tlak thil.
17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
17Te dongah camoe lakli kah tongpa boeih te ngawn uh lamtah tongpa kah thingkong dongah tongpa aka ming huta boeih khaw ngawn uh.
18But all the women children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
18Tedae huta khuiah khaw tongpa kah thingkong aka ming hlan camoe boeih tah namamih ham hlun uh.
19And encamp ye without the camp seven days; whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, ye and your captives.
19Nangmih hinglu aka ngawn boeih neh rhok aka ben boeih tah hnin rhih khuiah rhaehhmuen vongvoel la rhaeh uh. A hnin thum neh a hnin rhih dongah namamih neh na tamna te khaw cilpoe uh.
20And as to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood, ye shall purify.'
20Himbai boeih neh maehpho dongkah hnopai boeih, maae lamkah bitat boeih neh thing hnopai boeih khaw cilpoe uh,” a ti nah.
21And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle: 'This is the statute of the law which the LORD hath commanded Moses:
21BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen bangla olkhueng dongkah khosing he, khosoih Eleazar loh caemtloek la aka cet caempuei hlang rhoek taengah,
22Howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
22“Sui neh cak, rhohum, thi, samphae neh kawnlawk,
23every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of sprinkling; and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.
23Hmai aka khoeng hno boeih tah hmai ah caeh sak uh lamtah caihcil bitni. Pumom tui neh cilpoe saeh lamtah hmai loh a khoeng pawt boeih tahtui dongah caeh sak uh.
24And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye may come into the camp.'
24A hnin rhih dongah na himbai te na suk uh tih na caihcil uh phoeiah rhaehhmuen la kun uh ,” a ti nah.
25And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
25BOEIPA loh Moses te a voek tih,
26'Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the congregation;
26Hnorhawt dongkah hlangmi te, na hlang kah tamna neh rhamsa khaw, khosoih Eleazar neh rhaengpuei kah a napa rhoek hlangmi khaw tae uh.
27and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, that went out to battle, and all the congregation;
27Caempuei la a khuen tih caem aka tu laklo neh rhaengpuei boeih laklo ah hnorhawt te tael pah.
28and levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the flocks;
28Caempuei la aka cet caemtloek hlang rhoek khui lamloh ya nga vaengah hinglu pakhat tah hlang khaw, saelhung khaw, laak khaw, boiva khaw BOEIPA taengah mangmu la tloeng.
29take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, as a portion set apart for the LORD.
29A rhakthuem te lo lamtah BOEIPA kah khosaa la khosoih Eleazar ham pae.
30And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, even of all the cattle, and give them unto the Levites, that keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.'
30Israel ca rhoek kah te a rhakthuem ah coelh pah. Sawmnga lamloh pakhat tah hlang khaw, saelhung khaw, laak khaw, boiva khaw, rhamsa khaw boeih tu lamtah BOEIPA kah dungtlungim loh a kuek aka ngaithuen Levi taengah pae,” a ti nah.
31And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
31BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla Moses neh khosoih Eleazar loh a saii.
32Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
32Caempuei pilnam loh a poelyoe hnorhawt dong lamloh maeh coih la aka om he boiva he thawng ya rhuk neh thawng sawmrhih thawng nga,
33and threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
33saelhung thawng sawmrhih neh thawng hnih,
34and threescore and one thousand asses,
34Laak thawng sawmrhuk neh thawng khat lo.
35and thirty and two thousand persons in all, of the women that had not known man by lying with him.
35Hlang kah hinglu khaw tongpa kah thingkong aka ming pawh huta he a pum la hinglu thawng sawmthum thawng nit lo.
36And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep.
36Caempuei la aka kun kah hamsum rhakthuem he a pum la boiva thawng ya thum neh thawng sawmthum thawng rhih ya nga lo.
37And the LORD'S tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
37BOEIPA kah mangmu te boiva dong lamloh ya rhuk sawmrhih panga,
38And the beeves were thirty and six thousand, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and twelve.
38Saelhung thawng sawmthum thawng rhuk lo. Te vaengah BOEIPA ham amih kah mangmu te sawmrhih pumnit lo.
39And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred, of which the LORD'S tribute was threescore and one.
39Laak thawng thumkip neh ya nga vaengah BOEIPA ham amih mangmu pum sawmrhuk pakhat lo .
40And the persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the LORD'S tribute was thirty and two persons.
40Hlang kah hinglu khaw thawng hlai rhuk vaengah BOEIPA ham amih kah mangmu te hinglu thumkip panit lo.
41And Moses gave the tribute, which was set apart for the LORD, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
41Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses a uen vanbangla BOEIPA kah khosaa mangmu te Moses loh khosoih Eleazar taengah a paek.
42And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided off from the men that warred —
42Israel ca rhakthuem lamloh caem aka muk hlang taeng lamkah khaw Moses loh a tael pah.
43now the congregation's half was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
43Hlangboel rhakthuem lamloh boiva thawng ya thum neh thawng sawmthum thawng rhih ya nga lo .
44and thirty and six thousand beeves,
44Saelhung he thawng thumkip neh thawng rhuk lo .
45and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,
45Laak thawng sawmthum neh ya nga lo .
46and sixteen thousand persons —
46Hlang kah hinglu thawng hlai rhuk lo .
47even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, that kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
47Israel ca rhoek rhakthuem dongkah te Moses a loh. Sawmnga ah pakhat tah hlang lamkah khaw, rhamsa lamkah khaw a loh tih BOEIPA loh Moses a uen bangla BOEIPA dungtlungim kah a kuek aka ngaithuen Levi taengah a paek.
48And the officers that were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses;
48Te phoeiah caempuei a thawng thawng aka soep, thawng khat mangpa rhoek neh yakhat mangpa rhoek tahMoses taengla mop uh.
49and they said unto Moses: 'Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war that are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
49Moses taengah, “Na sal rhoek loh caemtloek hlang rhoek kah boeilu te a tae uh vaengah mamih lamkah he kaimih kut hmuiah hlang he a hmaai moenih.
50And we have brought the LORD'S offering, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and girdles, to make atonement for our souls before the LORD.'
50Te dongah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah kaimih kah hinglu ham aka dawth la hlang loh a hmuh sui hnopai, cak neh khungpak, kutcaeng, hnathawn neh oilung te BOEIPA nawnnah ham kang khuen,” a ti uh.
51And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
51Te dongah Moses neh khosoih loh Eleazar amih taeng lamkah sui neh kutsai hnopai boeih te a doe.
52And all the gold of the gift that they set apart for the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. —
52Te dongah thawngkhat mangpa rhoek neh yakhat mangpa rhoek taeng lamloh BOEIPA taengah khosaa la a tloeng uh sui boeih he shekel thawng hlai rhuk ya rhih sawmnga lo.
53For the men of war had taken booty, every man for himself. —
53Caempuei hlang rhoek long khaw amah kah hlang te a poelyoe uh.
54And 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 the LORD.
54Te phoeiah Moses neh khosoih Eleazar lohthawngkhat neh yakhat mangpa rhoek lamkah sui te a doe tih tingtunnah dap la BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Israel ca rhoek ham poekkoepnah la a khuen.
