¹And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

¹Jahve reče Mojsiju:

²Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.

²"Iskali osvetu Izraelaca na Midjancima, a poslije toga pridružit ćeš se svojim precima."

³And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.

³A Mojsije reče narodu: "Opremite ljude između sebe za pohod na Midjance,

⁴Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.

⁴da na Midjancima izvrše Jahvinu osvetu. Na vojnu opremite po jednu tisuću od svakoga izraelskog plemena!"

⁵So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

⁵I tako su iz izraelskih porodica - tisuću po plemenu - za vojnu skupili dvanaest tisuća.

⁶And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.

⁶Posla ih Mojsije - tisuću po plemenu - na vojnu zajedno s Pinhasom, sinom svećenika Eleazara. On je nosio posvećene stvari i trube.

⁷And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.

⁷Oni zavojuju na Midjance, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju, i pobiju sve muškarce.

⁸And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

⁸Među ostalima pobili su i midjanske kraljeve: Evija, Rekema, Sura, Hura i Rebu - pet midjanskih kraljeva. Mačem pogube i Bileama, Beorova sina.

⁹And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.

⁹Odvedu tada Izraelci u ropstvo midjanske žene s njihovom djecom i svu njihovu stoku, krupnu i sitnu, i zaplijene sve njihovo blago.

¹⁰And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.

¹⁰Ognjem spale sve gradove njihove u kojima se živjeli i sva njihova naselja,

¹¹And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.

¹¹a sve njihovo uzmu za plijen i pljačku, i ljude i životinje.

¹²And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.

¹²Onda u tabor na Moapskim poljanama uz Jordan, nasuprot Jerihonu, dovedu Mojsiju, svećeniku Eleazaru i svoj izraelskoj zajednici zarobljenike, plijen i pljačku.

¹³And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.

¹³Mojsije, svećenik Eleazar i svi glavari zajednice izađu im u susret izvan tabora.

¹⁴And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.

¹⁴Mojsije se razljuti na zapovjednike vojske, tisućnike i satnike, koji se bijahu vratili s toga bojnog pohoda.

¹⁵And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

¹⁵Reče im: "Što! Na životu ste ostavili sve ženskinje!

¹⁶Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.

¹⁶A baš su žene, po nagovoru Bileamovu, zavele Izraelce da u Peorovu slučaju istupe protiv Jahve. Tako dođe pomor na Jahvinu zajednicu.

¹⁷Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.

¹⁷Stoga svu mušku djecu pobijte! A ubijte i svaku ženu koja je poznala muškarca!

¹⁸But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

¹⁸A sve mlade djevojke koje nisu poznale muškarca ostavite na životu za se.

¹⁹And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.

¹⁹Vi pak proboravite izvan tabora sedam dana; svi vi koji ste koga ubili i koji ste se ubijenoga dotakli. Čistite se i vi i vaši zarobljenici trećega i sedmoga dana;

²⁰And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.

²⁰očistite svu odjeću, sve mješine, sve od kostrijeti napravljeno i sve drvene predmete."

²¹And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;

²¹Zatim svećenik Eleazar progovori borcima koji su se vratili iz boja: "Ovo je odredba koju je izdao Jahve Mojsiju:

²²Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

²²'Zlato, srebro, bakar, gvožđe, mjed i olovo -

²³Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.

²³sve što podnosi vatru - provucite kroz vatru i bit će očišćeno.' Ipak, neka se očisti i vodom očišćenja. A sve što ne podnosi vatru provucite kroz vodu.

²⁴And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

²⁴Sedmoga dana operite svoju odjeću i bit ćete čisti. Poslije toga možete se vratiti u tabor."

²⁵And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁵Jahve reče Mojsiju:

²⁶Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:

²⁶"Ti, svećenik Eleazar i obiteljske starješine zajednice napravite popis ratnoga plijena, ljudstva i stoke,

²⁷And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:

²⁷a onda ratni plijen podijeli napola: na borce koji su išli u borbu i na svu ostalu zajednicu.

²⁸And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:

²⁸Od boraca koji su išli u borbu ustavi ujam za Jahvu: jednu glavu od svakih pet stotina, bilo ljudi, bilo krupnog blaga, magaradi ili sitne stoke.

²⁹Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.

²⁹Uzmi to od njihove polovice i podaj svećeniku Eleazaru kao podizanicu za Jahvu.

³⁰And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.

³⁰A od polovice što zapadne druge Izraelce uzmi po glavu od pedeset, bilo ljudi, bilo krupnog blaga, magaradi ili sitne stoke - od svih životinja - pa ih podaj levitima koji vode brigu o Jahvinu prebivalištu."

³¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

³¹Mojsije i svećenik Eleazar učine kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

³²And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,

³²Ratnoga je plijena bilo, osim pljačke što su vojnici napljačkali: šest stotina sedamdeset i pet tisuća grla sitne stoke,

³³And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,

³³sedamdeset i dvije tisuće grla krupne stoke,

³⁴And threescore and one thousand asses,

³⁴šezdeset i jedna tisuća magaradi,

³⁵And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.

³⁵a ljudskih duša - žena koje nisu poznale muškarca - bijaše u svemu trideset i dvije tisuće.

³⁶And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:

³⁶Prema tome, polovica što je dodijeljena onima koji su išli u borbu bila je: tri stotine trideset i sedam tisuća i pet stotina grla sitne stoke;

³⁷And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.

³⁷ujam za Jahvu od sitne stoke šest stotina sedamdeset i pet grla;

³⁸And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.

³⁸krupne je stoke bilo trideset i šest tisuća grla, a njihov ujam za Jahvu sedamdeset i dva grla;

³⁹And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.

³⁹magaradi je bilo trideset tisuća i pet stotina, a njihov ujam za Jahvu šezdeset i jedno.

⁴⁰And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.

⁴⁰Ljudskih je duša bilo šesnaest tisuća, a njihov ujam za Jahvu trideset i dvije osobe.

⁴¹And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.

⁴¹Ujam predade Mojsije svećeniku Eleazaru za podizanicu Jahvi, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

⁴²And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,

⁴²A od polovice koja je zapala druge Izraelce i koju Mojsije odijeli od one što je pripala ljudima koji su se borili -

⁴³(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,

⁴³dakle, polovica što je pripala zajednici iznosila je: trista trideset i sedam tisuća i pet stotina grla sitne stoke,

⁴⁴And thirty and six thousand beeves,

⁴⁴a krupne stoke trideset i šest tisuća grla;

⁴⁵And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,

⁴⁵magaradi trideset tisuća i pet stotina,

⁴⁶And sixteen thousand persons;)

⁴⁶a ljudskih duša šesnaest tisuća.

⁴⁷Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

⁴⁷Tako, od polovice što je pripala Izraelcima Mojsije ostavi po jedno od pedeset, i od ljudstva i od stoke, te ih predade levitima koji su se brinuli o Jahvinu prebivalištu, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

⁴⁸And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:

⁴⁸Onda pristupiše k Mojsiju vojnički zapovjednici, tisućnici i satnici,

⁴⁹And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.

⁴⁹i rekoše mu: "Tvoje sluge prebrojile su borce što bijahu pod našim zapovjedništvom i od nas nitko nije izgubljen.

⁵⁰We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.

⁵⁰Uz to smo donijeli svoje darove Jahvi: narukvica, orukvica, prstenja, naušnica i ogrlica - na kakvu je tko zlatninu već naišao - da se nad nama obavi obred pomirenja pred Jahvom."

⁵¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.

⁵¹Mojsije i svećenik Eleazar prime od njih to zlato, to jest sve te izrađene predmete.

⁵²And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.

⁵²Bilo je svega zlata što su kao svoju podizanicu Jahvi donijeli tisućnici i satnici: šesnaest tisuća sedam stotina i pedeset šekela.

⁵³(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)

⁵³Svaki je vojnik za se zadržao svoj plijen.

⁵⁴And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

⁵⁴Tako Mojsije i svećenik Eleazar uzmu zlato od tisućnika i satnika te ga donesu u Šator sastanka na spomen Izraelcima pred Jahvom.
