¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

¹[Ny tafika namaliana ny Midianita] Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

²Avenge the children of Israel upon the Midianites; afterwards shalt thou be gathered unto thy peoples.

²Valio ny Midianita noho ny nataony tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia hangonina any amin'ny razanao ianao.

³And Moses spoke to the people, saying, Arm from amongst you men for military service, that they go against Midian to execute Jehovah's vengeance upon Midian.

³Dia niteny tamin'ny olona Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Miomàna ho any an-tafika ny sasany aminareo, ary aoka izy hanafika ny Midianita, hahatanteraka ny famalian'i Jehovah azy.

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

⁴Arivo lahy avy isam-pirenena amin'ny firenen'Isiraely no hampandehaninareo ho any an-tafika.

⁵And there were levied out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand by tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

⁵Dia navahana tamin'ny firenen'Isiraely ny arivo isam-pirenena, dia roa arivo amby iray alina, samy voaomana hiady.

⁶And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand by the tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, and the holy instruments, even the alarm-trumpets in his hand.

⁶Ary nampandehanin'i Mosesy ho any an-tafika ireo arivo lahy isam-pirenena ireo sy Finehasa, zanak'i Eleazara mpisorona, izay nitondra ny fanaka masina teny an-tànany, dia ny trompetra avo feo.

⁷And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah had commanded Moses, and slew all the males.

⁷Dia niady tamin'ny Midianita ireo, araka izay efa nandidian'i Jehovah an'i Mosesy; ary namono ny lehilahy rehetra izy

⁸And they slew the kings of Midian, besides the others slain, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian; and Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword.

⁸ary ny mpanjakan'i Midiana dimy lahy dia matiny niaraka tamin'ireny koa, dia Evy sy Rekema sy Zora sy Hora ary Reba; ary Balama, zanak'i Beora, koa dia novonoiny tamin'ny sabatra.

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

⁹Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely namabo ny vehivavy Midianita sy ny zanany madinika; ary nobaboiny avokoa ny biby fiompiny rehetra sy ny omby aman'ondriny rehetra ary ny fananany rehetra.

¹⁰and all their cities in their settlements and all their encampments they burned with fire.

¹⁰Ary ny tanànany rehetra izay teo amin'ny fonenany sy ny tobiny rehetra dia nodorany tamin'ny afo.

¹¹And they took all the booty, and all the prey, of man and of cattle;

¹¹Ary nalainy avokoa ny babo rehetra, na olona na biby fiompy,

¹²and they brought to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the assembly of the children of Israel, the captives and the prey and the booty, to the camp in the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan of Jericho.

¹²dia nentiny tany amin'i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona ary ny fiangonan'ny Zanak'Isiraely teo an-toby, teo Arbota-moaba, izay eo amoron'i Jordana tandrifin'i Jeriko.

¹³And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the princes of the assembly went forth to meet them outside the camp.

¹³Ary Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona ary ny lohan'ny fiangonana rehetra nivoaka hitsena azy teo ivelan'ny toby.

¹⁴And Moses was wroth with the officers of the army, with the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war;

¹⁴Ary tezitra tamin'ny mpifehy ny miaramila Mosesy, dia tamin'ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato, izay avy tany an-tafika,

¹⁵and Moses said to them, Have ye saved all the women alive?

¹⁵ka hoy izy taminy: Nahoana no novelominareo ny vehivavy rehetra?

¹⁶Lo, these, through the counsel of Balaam, caused the children of Israel to commit sin against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague on the assembly of Jehovah.

¹⁶Ireo ihany no nampahadiso ny Zanak'Isiraely tamin'i Jehovah ny amin'i Peora, araka ny tenin'i Balama, ka nahazo ny fiangonan'i Jehovah ny areti-mandringana.

¹⁷And now slay every male among the little ones, and slay every woman that hath known man by lying with him,

¹⁷Koa ankehitriny, vonoy ny zazalahy madinika rehetra, ary vonoy koa ny vehivavy rehetra izay efa nahalala lahy.

¹⁸but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.

¹⁸Fa ny zazavavy rehetra izay tsy mbola nahalala lahy dia velomy ho anareo.

¹⁹And encamp outside the camp seven days; whoever hath killed a person, and whoever hath touched any slain; ye shall purify yourselves on the third day, and on the seventh day, you and your captives.

¹⁹Ary mitobia eo ivelan'ny toby hafitoana; ary izay nahafaty olona na nikasika faty dia samia manadio ny tenany, na ianareo, na ny sambotrareo amin'ny andro fahatelo sy ny andro fahafito.

²⁰And every garment, and every vessel of skin, and all work of goat's hair, and every utensil of wood shall ye purify.

²⁰Ary ny fitafiana rehetra, na ny fanaka hoditra, na ny fanaka volon'osy, na ny fanaka hazo, dia diovy avokoa.

²¹And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war that had gone to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

²¹Ary hoy Eleazara mpisorona tamin'ny mpanafika, izay efa tany amin'ny ady: Izao no lalàna hotandremana, izay nandidian'i Jehovah'an i Mosesy:

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

²²Ny volamena sy ny volafotsy sy ny varahina sy ny vy sy ny vifotsy ary ny firaka,

²³everything that passeth through the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean; only it shall be purified with the water of separation; and everything that cannot pass through the fire ye shall make go through the water.

²³dia ny zavatra rehetra izay maharitra afo, dia ataovy ao amin'ny afo, dia hadio, kanefa hodiovina amin'ny rano fanadiovana koa izy; ary izay rehetra tsy maharitra afo kosa dia ataovy ao amin'ny rano ihany.

²⁴And ye shall wash your garments on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean; and afterwards ye may come into the camp.

²⁴Ary sasao ny fitafianareo amin'ny andro fahafito, dia hadio ianareo; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia mahazo miditra eo amin'ny toby ianareo.

²⁵And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

²⁵Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:

²⁶Take the sum of the prey that was taken, of man and of cattle, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the assembly;

²⁶Alaonao sy Eleazara mpisorona sy ny lohan'ny fianakaviana amin'ny fiangonana ny isan'ny babo izay azo, na olona, na biby fiompy;

²⁷and divide the prey into halves, between them that conducted the war, who went out to the battle, and the whole assembly.

²⁷ary sasaho ny babo ho an'izay niady, dia izay efa tany an-tafika, sy ho an'ny fiangonana rehetra;

²⁸And thou shalt levy a tribute for Jehovah of the men of war who went out to the army, one soul of five hundred of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the small cattle.

²⁸kanefa makà anjara ho an'i Jehovah avy amin'ny mpanafika izay nivoaka ho any an-tafika, dia iray isan-diman-jato, na olona, na omby, na boriky, na ondry aman'osy;

²⁹Of their half shall ye take it, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for a heave-offering of Jehovah.

²⁹ny antsasany izay azy no hanalanao izany ka homenao an'i Eleazara mpisorona ho fanatitra alaina ho an'i Jehovah.

³⁰And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, of the asses, and of the small cattle, of every [kind of] beasts, and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, who keep the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.

³⁰Ary ny antsasany an'ny Zanak'Isiraely kosa dia analao iray isan-dimam-polo, na olona, na omby, na boriky, na ondry aman'osy, dia ny biby fiompy rehetra, ka omeo ho an'ny Levita, izay mitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momba ny tabernakelin'i Jehovah.

³¹And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

³¹Dia nataon'i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona izany, araka izay efa nandidian'i Jehovah an'i Mosesy.

³²And the prey, the rest of the spoil, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

³²Ary ny babo sisa afa-tsy izay azon'ny mpanafika, dia ondry aman'osy dimy arivo amby fito alina sy enina hetsy,

³³and seventy-two thousand oxen,

³³sy omby roa arivo amby fito alina,

³⁴and sixty-one thousand asses,

³⁴sy boriky arivo amby enina alina,

³⁵and of human persons, of the women that had not known lying with a man, all the persons were thirty-two thousand.

³⁵ary olona, dia ny zazavavy izay tsy mbola nahalala lahy, roa arivo amby telo alina.

³⁶And the half, the portion of them that had gone out to the war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,

³⁶Ary ny antsasany izay anjaran'ny efa tany an-tafika dia izao: ny isan'ny ondry aman'osy dia diman-jato amby fito arivo sy telo alina sy telo hetsy;

³⁷and the tribute for Jehovah of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five;

³⁷ary ny anjaran'i Jehovah avy tamin'ny ondry aman'osy dia dimy amby fito-polo sy enin-jato.

³⁸and the oxen were thirty-six thousand, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, seventy-two;

³⁸Ary ny omby dia enina arivo amby telo alina; ary ny anjaran'i Jehovah avy tamin'ireo dia roa amby fito-polo.

³⁹and the asses were thirty thousand five hundred, and the tribute thereof for Jehovah, sixty-one;

³⁹Ary ny boriky dia diman-jato amby telo alina; ary ny anjaran'i Jehovah avy tamin'ireo dia iraika amby enim-polo.

⁴⁰and the human persons were sixteen thousand, of whom the tribute for Jehovah was thirty-two persons.

⁴⁰Ary ny zazavavy dia enina arivo amby iray alina; ary ny anjaran'i Jehovah avy tamin'ireo dia roa amby telo-polo.

⁴¹And Moses gave the tribute of Jehovah's heave-offering to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

⁴¹Dia nomen'i Mosesy an'i Eleazara mpisorona ny anjara izay nalaina ho an'i Jehovah, araka izay efa nandidian'i Jehovah an'i Mosesy.

⁴²And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses had divided, [taking it] from the men that served in the war,

⁴²Ary avy tamin'ny antsasany an'ny Zanak'Isiraely, izay nozarain'i Mosesy avy tamin'ny mpanafika

⁴³(now the half belonging to the assembly was of the sheep, three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred,

⁴³(fa ny antsasany an'ny fiangonana dia ondry aman'osy dimanjato amby fito arivo sy telo alina sy telo hetsy,

⁴⁴and thirty-six thousand oxen,

⁴⁴sy omby enina arivo amby telo alina,

⁴⁵and thirty thousand five hundred asses,

⁴⁵sy boriky diman-jato amby telo alina,

⁴⁶and sixteen thousand human persons,)

⁴⁶ary olona enina arivo amby iray alina),

⁴⁷... of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, of man and of cattle, and gave them to the Levites who kept the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

⁴⁷ny antsasany an'ny Zanak'Isiraely dia nanalan'i Mosesy iray isan-dimam-polo, na olona, na biby fiompy, ka nomeny ho an'ny Levita mpitandrina ny anjara-raharaha momha ny tabernakelin'i Jehovah izany, araka izay efa nandidian'i Jehovah an'i Mosesy.

⁴⁸And the officers who were over the thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses,

⁴⁸Ary ny mpifehy, izay nifehy ny miaramila, dia ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato, dia nanatona an'i Mosesy

⁴⁹and they said to Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war who were under our hand, and there is not one man of us lacking.

⁴⁹ka nanao taminy hoe: Ny mpanomponao efa naka ny isan'ny mpanafika izay nofehezinay, ka tsy misy diso isa aminay na dia lehilahy iray akory aza;

⁵⁰So we present the offering of Jehovah, that which each one hath found, jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah.

⁵⁰koa nitondra fanatitra ho an'i Jehovah izahay, dia ny firavaka volamena efa azonay avy, dia fehin-tanana sy haba sy peratra fanombohan-kase sy kavina ary voavola, hanaovana fanavotana ho an'ny ainay eo anatrehan'i Jehovah.

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

⁵¹Dia noraisin'i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona taminy ny volamena, dia firavaka voatefy avokoa.

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

⁵²Ary ny volamena rehetra tamin'ny fanatitra nalain'ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato ho an'i Jehovah, dia sekely dimam-polo amby fiton-jato sy enina arivo sy iray alina

⁵³(The men of war had taken spoil each one for himself.)

⁵³(fa ny mpanafika samy namabo ho an'ny tenany).Dia noraisin'i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona ny volamena nomen'ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato ka nentiny tao amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana ho fahatsiarovana ho an'ny Zanak'Isiraely eo anatrehan'i Jehovah.

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, as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.

⁵⁴Dia noraisin'i Mosesy sy Eleazara mpisorona ny volamena nomen'ny mpifehy arivo sy ny mpifehy zato ka nentiny tao amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana ho fahatsiarovana ho an'ny Zanak'Isiraely eo anatrehan'i Jehovah.
