Numbers 31

1 And the LORD said to Moses,

1 耶和华对摩西说：

2 “Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. After that, you will be gathered to your people.”

2 “你要为以色列人向米甸人报仇，之后你将归到祖先那里。”

3 So Moses told the people, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianites and execute the LORD’s vengeance on them.

3 于是，摩西对民众说：“你们的人要拿起兵器去攻打米甸，为耶和华报仇。

4 Send into battle a thousand men from each tribe of Israel.”

4 以色列的每个支派要派一千人出战。”

5 So a thousand men were recruited from each tribe of Israel—twelve thousand armed for war.

5 于是，他们从以色列每个支派选出一千人，武装了一万二千军兵。

6 And Moses sent the thousand from each tribe into battle, along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, who took with him the vessels of the sanctuary and the trumpets for signaling.

6 每个支派选出的一千军兵由摩西派遣出战，以利亚撒祭司的儿子非尼哈拿着圣所的器具和号角随行。

7 Then they waged war against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed every male.

7 他们照耶和华对摩西的吩咐，去攻打米甸人，杀死了米甸的所有男子，

8 Among the slain were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.

8 包括以未、利金、苏珥、户珥和利巴五个米甸的王，还杀了比珥的儿子巴兰。

9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women and their children, and they plundered all their herds, flocks, and goods.

9 以色列人掳获了米甸的妇女、孩子、所有牛羊和财物，

10 Then they burned all the cities where the Midianites had lived, as well as all their encampments,

10 将他们的城邑营寨付之一炬，

11 and carried away all the plunder and spoils, both people and animals.

11 带走了掳掠的人畜等战利品。

12 They brought the captives, spoils, and plunder to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of Israel at the camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho.

12 他们来到耶利哥对面、约旦河边的摩押平原，把战利品交给摩西、以利亚撒祭司和以色列全体会众。

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

13 摩西、以利亚撒祭司以及所有民众的首领都到营外迎接他们。

14 But Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who were returning from the battle.

14 摩西对出征回来的千夫长和百夫长等将领发怒，

15 “Have you spared all the women?” he asked them.

15 说：“你们为什么让这些妇女活着？

16 “Look, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to turn unfaithfully against the LORD at Peor, so that the plague struck the congregation of the LORD.

16 就是她们听了巴兰的指使，在毗珥引诱以色列人背叛耶和华，以致瘟疫降在耶和华的会众身上。

17 So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man,

17 现在，你们要杀掉所有的男孩，以及与男人发生过关系的女子，

18 but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.

18 但可以留下那些处女。

19 All of you who have killed a person or touched the dead are to remain outside the camp for seven days. On the third day and the seventh day you are to purify both yourselves and your captives.

19 你们凡杀了人和碰过死人的都要在营外待七天。在第三天和第七天，你们要洁净自己及掳来的人，

20 And purify every garment and leather good, everything made of goat’s hair, and every article of wood.”

20 也要洁净自己所有的衣服、皮具、山羊毛制品和木器。”

21 Then Eleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, “This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded Moses:

21 以利亚撒祭司对打仗回来的军兵说：“以下是耶和华借摩西颁布的律例。

22 Only the gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, and lead—

22 金、银、铜、铁、锡、铅，

23 everything that can withstand the fire—must be put through the fire, and it will be clean. But it must still be purified with the water of purification. And everything that cannot withstand the fire must pass through the water.

23 凡耐火之物都要用火来洁净，还要用除秽水加以洁净；不耐火之物要用水来洁净。

24 On the seventh day you are to wash your clothes, and you will be clean. After that you may enter the camp.”

24 第七天，你们洗完衣服后就洁净了，可以回营。”

25 The LORD said to Moses,

25 耶和华对摩西说：

26 “You and Eleazar the priest and the family heads of the congregation are to take a count of what was captured, both of man and beast.

26 “你和以利亚撒祭司以及会众的各族长，要统计俘虏和牲畜的数目，

27 Then divide the captives between the troops who went out to battle and the rest of the congregation.

27 然后把这些战利品分成两份，一份给出征的战士，一份给其余会众。

28 Set aside a tribute for the LORD from what belongs to the soldiers who went into battle: one out of every five hundred, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, or sheep.

28 要从战士分得的俘虏、牛、驴和羊群中抽出五百分之一，献给耶和华，

29 Take it from their half and give it to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD.

29 要把那五百分之一交给以利亚撒祭司，献给耶和华作举祭。

30 From the Israelites’ half, take one out of every fifty, whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep, or other animals, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.”

30 要从以色列人分得的俘虏和牛、驴、羊等牲畜中抽出五十分之一，交给在我圣幕司职的利未人。”

31 So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD had commanded Moses,

31 摩西和以利亚撒祭司遵命而行。

32 and this plunder remained from the spoils the soldiers had taken: 675,000 sheep,

32 战士掳获的战利品中有六十七万五千只羊，

33 72,000 cattle,

33 七万二千头牛，

34 61,000 donkeys,

34 六万一千头驴，

35 and 32,000 women who had not slept with a man.

35 三万二千名处女。

36 This was the half portion for those who had gone to war: 337,500 sheep,

36 战士分得的战利品有三十三万七千五百只羊，

37 including a tribute to the LORD of 675,

37 其中六百七十五只献给耶和华；

38 36,000 cattle, including a tribute to the LORD of 72,

38 三万六千头牛，其中七十二头献给耶和华；

39 30,500 donkeys, including a tribute to the LORD of 61,

39 三万零五百头驴，其中六十一头献给耶和华；

40 and 16,000 people, including a tribute to the LORD of 32.

40 一万六千名处女，其中三十二人献给耶和华。

41 Moses gave the tribute to Eleazar the priest as an offering for the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

41 摩西照耶和华的吩咐，把献给耶和华的举祭交给以利亚撒祭司。

42 From the Israelites’ half, which Moses had set apart from the men who had gone to war,

42 以色列会众分得的那一半战利品，即摩西从出征之人的战利品中分出来给他们的，

43 this half belonged to the congregation: 337,500 sheep,

43 有三十三万七千五百只羊、

44 36,000 cattle,

44 三万六千头牛、

45 30,500 donkeys,

45 三万零五百头驴、

46 and 16,000 people.

46 一万六千名处女。

47 From the Israelites’ half, Moses took one out of every fifty persons and animals and gave them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of the LORD, as the LORD had commanded him.

47 摩西照耶和华的吩咐，从中抽出五十分之一，交给在圣幕里司职的利未人。

48 Then the officers who were over the units of the army—the commanders of thousands and of hundreds—approached Moses

48 统领军队的千夫长和百夫长来见摩西，

49 and said, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of us is missing.

49 说：“仆人们统计了手下出征的战士，未失一兵一卒。

50 So we have brought to the LORD an offering of the gold articles each man acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD.”

50 现在我们把各自掳获的臂环、镯子、图章戒指、耳环、项链等金器都带来献给耶和华，在祂面前为我们赎罪。”

51 So Moses and Eleazar the priest received from them all the articles made out of gold.

51 摩西和以利亚撒祭司收了他们所献的各种金制品。

52 All the gold that the commanders of thousands and of hundreds presented as an offering to the LORD weighed 16,750 shekels.

52 千夫长和百夫长献给耶和华作举祭的金子共三千八百两。

53 Each of the soldiers had taken plunder for himself.

53 战士则保留了自己掳获的财物。

54 And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the Israelites before the LORD.

54 摩西和以利亚撒祭司就把千夫长和百夫长献的金子带进会幕，在耶和华面前作以色列人的纪念。
