¹Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati,

¹And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²Tsiva vana vaIsiraeri kuvaMidhiani; shure kwaizvozvo iwe uchasanganiswa navanhu vako.

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

³Mozisi akataura navanhu, akati, Varume pakati penyu ngavazvigadzirire kurwa, kuti vandorwa navaMidhiani, vatsivire Jehovha kuvaMidhiani.

³And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm ye men from among you for the war, that they may go against Midian, to execute Jehovah's vengeance on Midian.

⁴Munofanira kutumira kuhondo vane chiuru chimwe kurudzi rumwe norumwe rwamarudzi avaIsiraeri.

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

⁵Naizvozvo vakaverenga kuzviuru zvavaIsiraeri chiuru chimwe kurudzi rumwe norumwe, vakasvika zviuru gumi nezviviri vakazvigadzirira kundorwa.

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

⁶Mozisi akavatuma kundorwa, chiuru chimwe kurudzi rumwe norumwe, ivo naPinehasi, mwanakomana waEreazari mupristi, kundorwa, iye akabata nhumbi dzeimba tsvene nehwamanda dzokuridzisa nadzo.

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 vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for the alarm in his hand.

⁷Vakarwa navaMidhiani, sezvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha, vakauraya varume vose.

⁷And they warred against Midian, as Jehovah commanded Moses; and they slew every male.

⁸Vakaurayawo madzimambo avaMidhiani, pamwechete navamwe vakaurawa, vaiti: Evhi, naRekemu, naZuri, naHuri, naRebha, madzimambo mashanu avaMidhiani; naBharamu, mwanakomana waBheori, vakamuurayawo nomunondo.

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.

⁹Vana vaIsiraeri vakatapa vakadzi vavaMidhiani navana vavo; nemombe dzavo dzose namakwai avo ose, nefuma yavo yose , vakazvitapa.

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.

¹⁰Namaguta avo ose mavakanga vagere, nemisasa yavo yose, vakazvipisa nomoto.

¹⁰And all their cities in the places wherein they dwelt, and all their encampments, they burnt with fire.

¹¹Vakatora zvavakapamba zvose, nenhapwa dzose dzavanhu nedzezvipfuwo.

¹¹And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of man and of beast.

¹²Vakauya navatapwa, nezvavakatapa, nezvavakapamba kuna Mozisi, nokuna Ereazari mupristi, nokuungano yose yavana vaIsiraeri, kumisasa pamapani aMoabhu, ari paJoridhani paJeriko.

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 at the plains of Moab, which are by the Jordan at Jericho.

¹³Zvino Mozisi naEreazari mupristi, namachinda ose eungano, vakaenda kundosangana navo kunze kwemisasa.

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

¹⁴Mozisi akatsamwira vatariri vehondo, navakuru vezviuru navakuru vamazana, vakanga vachidzoka pakundorwa;

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.

¹⁵Mozisi akati kwavari, Makachengeta vakadzi vose vari vapenyu here?

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

¹⁶Tarirai, ndivo vakatadzisa vana vaIsiraeri pamberi paJehovha pazvakaitwa paPeori, vapiwa mano naBharamu, denda rikavapo pakati peungano yaJehovha.

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

¹⁷Naizvozvo zvino urayai vakomana vose vari pakati pavana, muurayewo mukadzi mumwe nomumwe akavata nomurume;

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

¹⁸asi muzvichengetere vanasikana vose, vasina kumbovata nomurume.

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

¹⁹Asi imwi, endai mundogara mazuva manomwe kunze kwemisasa; ani naani akauraya munhu, ani naani akabata munhu akaurawa, muzvinatse pazuva retatu nerechinomwe, imwi navatapwa venyu.

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.

²⁰Munofanirawo kusuka nguvo dzenyu dzose, nezvose zvakaitwa namatebwe, nezvose zvakarukwa nemvere dzembudzi, nezvinhu zvose zvakaitwa namatanda.

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 yourselves.

²¹Ereazari mupristi akati kuvarwi vose vakanga vandorwa, Uyu ndiwo murayiro wakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha:

²¹And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war that went to the battle, This is the statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded Moses:

²²Ndarama, nesirivha, nendarira, nedare, netini, nomutobvu,

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

²³zvose zvisingaparadzwi nomoto, munofanira kuzvipinza mumoto kuti zvinatswe; kunyange zvakadaro zvinofanira kucheneswa nemvura yokunatsa; asi zvose zvingaparadzwa nomoto, munofanira kuzvipinza mumvura.

²³everything 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 for impurity: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make to go through the water.

²⁴Munofanira kusuka nguvo dzenyu nezuva rechinomwe, kuti muve vakanaka, mugopinda mumisasa pashure.

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

²⁵Zvino Jehovha akataura naMozisi, akati,

²⁵And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

²⁶Verenga vakatapwa zvamakatapa zvavanhu nezvezvipfuwo, iwe naEreazari mupristi, navakuru vedzimba dzamadzibaba eungano;

²⁶Take 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;

²⁷mukamure zvakatapwa napakati, ive migove miviri; mugovere pakati pavarume vanoziva kurwa, vakanga vandorwa, neungano yose;

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

²⁸zvino uraire kuti mugove wakatarwa utsaurirwe Jehovha navarume vehondo vakanga vandorwa: Chipenyu chimwe kumazana mashanu, kuvanhu, nokumombe, nokumadhongi, nekumakwai;

²⁸And levy a tribute unto Jehovah of the men of war that went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, [both] of the persons, and of the oxen, and of the asses, and of the flocks:

²⁹uzvitore pahafu yavo, ugozvipa Ereazari mupristi, chive chipiriso chinotsaurirwa Jehovha.

²⁹take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for Jehovah's heave-offering.

³⁰Asi pahafu yavana vaIsiraeri unofanira kutora chimwe kumakumi mashanu, kuvanhu, nokumombe, nokumadhongi, nekumakwai, kuzvipfuwo zvose, ugozvipa vaRevhi vanochengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha.

³⁰And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one drawn out of every fifty, of the persons, of the oxen, 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 Jehovah.

³¹Mozisi naEreazari vakaita sezvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

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

³²Zvino zvakatapwa zvakanga zvasara, varume vehondo vatora mugove wavo, zvaiva makwai ane zviuru zvina mazana matanhatu nezviuru zvina makumi manomwe nezviuru zvishanu,

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,

³³nemombe dzine zviuru zvina makumi manomwe nezviviri,

³³and threescore and twelve thousand oxen,

³⁴nemadhongi ane zviuru makumi matanhatu nechiuru chimwe;

³⁴and threescore and one thousand asses,

³⁵navakadzi vasina kumbovata navarume vane zviuru zvina makumi matatu nezviviri.

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

³⁶Hafu, yakagoverwa vakanga vaenda kundorwa, aiva makwai ane zviuru zvina mazana matatu, nezviuru zvina makumi matatu, nezviuru zvinomwe, namazana mashanu;

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:

³⁷mugove wakatarwa, wakatsaurirwa Jehovha, waiva makwai ana mazana matanhatu namakumi manomwe namashanu.

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

³⁸Mombe dzaiva zviuru zvina makumi matatu nezvitanhatu; mugove wakatarwa, wakatsaurirwa Jehovha kunaidzo, waiva mombe dzina makumi manomwe nembiri.

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

³⁹Madhongi aiva zvuru makumi matatu nemazana mashanu; mugove wakatarwa, wakatsaurirwa Jehovha kunaidzo, waiva madhongi makumi matanhatu neimwe.

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

⁴⁰Vanhu vaiva zviuru zvine gumi nezvitanhatu; mugove wakatarwa, wakatsaurirwa Jehovha kuna ivo, waiva vanhu vana makumi matatu navaviri.

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

⁴¹Mozisi akapa Ereazari mupristi mugove wakatarwa, chakanga chiri chipiriso chakatsaurirwa Jehovha, sezvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

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

⁴²Pahafu yavana vaIsiraeri, yakanga yakamurwa naMozisi kuvanhu vakanga vandorwa,

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

⁴³(zvino hafu yeungano yaiva makwai ane zviuru zvina mazana matatu namakumi matatu, nezviuru zvinomwe namazana mashanu,

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

⁴⁴nemombe dzine zviuru zvina makumi matatu nezviuru zvitatu,

⁴⁴and thirty and six thousand oxen,

⁴⁵nemadhongi zviuru zvina makumi matatu namazana mashanu,

⁴⁵and thirty thousand and five hundred asses,

⁴⁶navanhu vane zviuru zvine gumi nezvitanhatu).

⁴⁶and sixteen thousand persons),

⁴⁷Pahafu yavana vaIsiraeri Mozisi akatora chimwe kumakumi mashanu, kuvana nokuzvipfuwo, akazvipa vaRevhi vaichengeta tabhenakeri yaJehovha; sezvakarairwa Mozisi naJehovha.

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 Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

⁴⁸Zvino vatariri vaiva pamusoro pezviuru zvehondo, navakuru vezviuru, navakuru vamazana vakaswedera kuna Mozisi,

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

⁴⁹vakati kuna Mozisi, Varanda venyu vakaverenga varume vehondo vanorairwa nesu; hakuna mumwe wedu usipo.

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.

⁵⁰Zvino tauya nechipo chaJehovha, zvakawanikwa nomumwe nomumwe: Zvishongo zvendarama, neketani dzomumakumbo nedzomumaoko, nezvindori zvemimwe, nezvindori zvomunzeve, nezvomumutsipa, kuyananisira mweya yedu pamberi paJehovha.

⁵⁰And we have brought Jehovah's oblation, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, ankle-chains, and bracelets, signet-rings, ear-rings, and armlets, to make atonement for our souls before Jehovah.

⁵¹Mozisi naEreazari mupristi vakagamuchira kwavari ndarama, zviri zvishongo zvamarudzi ose zvakaitwa nayo.

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

⁵²Ndarama yose yechipiriso chakatsaurwa, chavakapa Jehovha, chavakuru vezviuru nechavakuru vamazana, aiva mashekeri ane zviuru zvine gumi nezvitanhatu namazana manomwe namakumi mashanu.

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

⁵³(Nokuti varume vehondo vakanga vatora mugove wavo wezvakatapwa, mumwe nomumwe.)

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

⁵⁴Mozisi naEreazari mupristi vakagamuchira ndarama kuvakuru vezviuru navamazana, vakaiisa mutende rokusangana, kuti chive chirangaridzo kuvana vaIsiraeri pamberi paJehovha.

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 Jehovah.
