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

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

²“Avenge the children of Israel for the Midianites. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”

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.

³Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Yahweh’s vengeance on Midian.

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

⁴Of every tribe one thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, you shall send to the war.”

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

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

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.

⁶Moses sent them, one thousand of every tribe, to the war, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.

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

⁷They warred against Midian, as Yahweh commanded Moses; and they killed every male.

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.

⁸They killed 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 killed with the sword.

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.

⁹The children of Israel took captive the women of Midian and their little ones; and all their livestock, and all their flocks, and all their goods, they took for a prey.

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

¹⁰All their cities in the places in which they lived, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.

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

¹¹They took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of animal.

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.

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

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

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

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

¹⁴Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.

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

¹⁵Moses said to them, “Have you saved all the women alive?

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.

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

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

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

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

¹⁸But all the girls, who have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

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.

¹⁹“Encamp outside of the camp seven days: whoever has killed any person, and whoever has touched any slain, purify yourselves on the third day and on the seventh day, you and your captives.

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

²⁰As to every garment, and all that is made of skin, and all work of goats’ hair, and all things made of wood, you shall purify yourselves.”

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

²¹Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, “This is the statute of the law which Yahweh has commanded Moses:

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

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

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.

²³everything that may withstand the fire, you shall make to go through the fire, and it shall be clean; nevertheless it shall be purified with the water for impurity: and all that doesn’t withstand the fire you shall make to go through the water.

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

²⁴You shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and you shall be clean; and afterward you shall come into the camp.”

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

²⁵Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

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

²⁶“Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of animal, you, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers’ households of the congregation;

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

²⁷and divide the prey into two parts: between the men skilled in war, who went out to battle, and all the congregation.

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;

²⁸Levy a tribute to Yahweh of the men of war who went out to battle: one soul of five hundred; of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks.

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

²⁹Take it of their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest, for Yahweh’s wave offering.

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.

³⁰Of the children of Israel’s half, you shall take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the flocks, of all the livestock, and give them to the Levites, who perform the duty of the tabernacle of Yahweh.”

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

³¹Moses and Eleazar the priest did as Yahweh commanded Moses.

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

³²Now the prey, over and above the booty which the men of war took, was six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep,

³³sy omby roa arivo amby fito alina,

³³and seventy-two thousand head of cattle,

³⁴sy boriky arivo amby enina alina,

³⁴and sixty-one thousand donkeys,

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

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

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;

³⁶The half, which was the portion of those who went out to war, was in number three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep:

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

³⁷and Yahweh’s tribute of the sheep was six hundred seventy-five.

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

³⁸The cattle were thirty-six thousand; of which Yahweh’s tribute was seventy-two.

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

³⁹The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred; of which Yahweh’s tribute was sixty-one.

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

⁴⁰The persons were sixteen thousand; of whom Yahweh’s tribute was thirty-two persons.

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.

⁴¹Moses gave the tribute, which was Yahweh’s wave offering, to Eleazar the priest, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

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

⁴²Of the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided off from the men who warred

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

⁴³(now the congregation’s half was three hundred thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep,

⁴⁴sy omby enina arivo amby telo alina,

⁴⁴and thirty-six thousand head of cattle,

⁴⁵sy boriky diman-jato amby telo alina,

⁴⁵and thirty thousand five hundred donkeys,

⁴⁶ary olona enina arivo amby iray alina),

⁴⁶and sixteen thousand persons),

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.

⁴⁷even of the children of Israel’s half, Moses took one drawn out of every fifty, both of man and of animal, and gave them to the Levites, who performed the duty of the tabernacle of Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses.

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

⁴⁸The officers who were over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, came near to Moses;

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;

⁴⁹and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken the sum of the men of war who are under our command, and there lacks not one man of us.

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.

⁵⁰We have brought Yahweh’s offering, what every man has gotten, of jewels of gold, armlets, and bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for our souls before Yahweh.”

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

⁵¹Moses and Eleazar the priest took their gold, even all worked jewels.

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

⁵²All the gold of the wave offering that they offered up to Yahweh, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred fifty shekels.

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.

⁵³(The men of war had taken booty, every man for himself.)

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.

⁵⁴Moses 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 Yahweh.
